Alternatively you can just grossly misuse them.

I read an article somewhere, maybe the New Yorker, maybe the NY Times (a new found goat obsession?) which talked about some, I guess herders upstate who take in goats and then rent them out all around the North East to eat grasses. Seemed l

I very much think socioeconomic status is more likely a better fit. I have a feeling if you did the same test but instead of “crime” you did “wealth percentile” you’d probably end up with the same results in the United States though unfortu

This will probably get swallowed by the other 190 comments but are there good sources for how to make meat substitutes? I love to cook, and I frequently grind my own meat for burgers and sausages. I make my own jerkies too. I try to buy gra

That seems like a pretty valid viewpoint. The higher the cost, the less people with access, and the more likely people go with Apple’s offer. Besides that, earning a 1 million dollar reward for cracking the iOS kernel is probably a nice tic

I just use ViM and it’s fine for me. I’ve got autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and ripgrep for file searching. I think I can jump from a function to it’s definition but I’d have to double check. With Tmux I just keep another window open w

If you haven’t made the 10k dollars with the video you may not have it to donate. In the end a person in need ended up with a hundred extra bucks, I’m hard pressed to think of negatively really. Ideally we’d root out the societal issues whi

Who’s mad about HFT? 100m out of a what 40tn dollar world GDP? I get it, just seems... unlikely. Who cares?

It’s actually pretty great because they’re a person who has worked on the code, acting insane in an issue “Anyone who looks at this code instantly becomes insane”. If that’s not some very clever trolling, I’m not sure what is. And what dedi

I think the majority tend to be lurkers for the most part. I believe the Pareto principle (80% of effects come from 20% of causes) maps pretty well to internet cultures based on statistics curated from some of the forums and aggregators aro

The people on the internet are not the people outside is how I always think of it. Too bad the internet denizens so frequently shape and mold the conversation.

The only reason that might be true is if no one read the article (so, depressingly plausible). Quotes like “ The US has hundreds of comm satellites... China only has dozens... hampers ability to stream high quality imagery... or even contro

Such a shame to insult Americans lack of historical context while also seeming to insinuate the world was some sort of idyllic utopia prior to American engagement. How about we don’t forget that the entire world has pretty much been a gigan

Jeez, I understand the business logic but that’s pretty brutal. Ideally instead of perpetuating and banking on women and minorities being paid less, you could, I dunno, pay them a fair wage for their labor.

It may in other countries, but not Portugal. There's a lot of things that don't reach Portugal like Netflix and HBO Go as well.

Cancelled last May, so about a year and a quarter ago when I was abroad. Haven’t looked back and don’t miss it at all. I get Amazon gift cards through work occasionally so I just choose slower shipping for the orders I make. Everything else

Huh, I do it every time. Never behind a privacy screen. Never bothered me at all. The only shitty part is when agents let your stuff go through the scanners but you’re stuck behind the machines. I’m always trying to crane my neck to make su

I traveled a ton. Went to Algarve, Sicily, and Porto. Flights there and back, rent. It adds up pretty quick.

As someone who lives in NYC but visits San Francisco for work, the homeless there are a lot more visible. I see homeless people in NYC for sure, but the numbers in San Francisco are staggering. I can’t name a neighborhood like the tenderloi

San Francisco’s very pretty but the best part of the West Coast is the United States National Park System. Yosemite, Sequoia, John Muir Woods, Death Valley! All around there is Arches, Glacier, canyons, deserts, forests, and more.

I’m sure “kids just learning some new skills on their own” is a perfectly cromulent system. Universal public education is one of America’s greatest achievements and a tremendous equalizer. At school children learn to socialize, and history,

I quit my job last year and moved to Lisbon for three months and had a blast. Spent approximately 15,000 dollars. Came back and got a new job. Just remember that job hunting can take a few months with interviews and all the rest.

I’m not sure why anyone would really want to go back to a fractured system (inherently unstable, and very dominant in the early years in America) unless they live in an already unstable system. Universality of your currency is kind of the b

I also have never had issues with REI for sporting goods/outdoor gear, or Barnes and Nobles for books. If I can avoid Amazon I will, if I can’t I try to order directly from the manufacturer and no other seller.

Yea, well that’s absolutely a fact I feel acutely whenever I have to cross the darned thing for work!
