If you don't like that then you can always vote with your wallet and buy something with replaceable battery then. I had 10 phones and only one battery problem (12 years ago). I simply bought new phone as old one became really outdated.

"user-replaceable battery". If your battery died then you can replace it for 75$ (+ taxes). Of course if you need lasting phone that is your work tool used throughout the day and you need multiple batteries then this smartphone mi

Could you base your arguments with some facts? I work in international company and don't find Chinese in the top risk taking colleagues (Americans win big in this area). That's equally anecdotal like in your case but since it is d

There is very good book on this topic "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. Instincts can be very misleading sometimes.

That can be said about any survival skill: hunting (e.g. shooting, searching), identifying non-poisonous mushrooms or plants, knowing how to make fire without dedicated tools, surviving in cold climate, hot climate, sea and etc. You simply

How many times have you felt into the water involuntary in your life? I can't count single time.

You should add HN to your blocklist not enforce it on others.

You just placed 2048 next to alcohol, cannabis and other drugs. Congratulations.

Now someone make 2048 where in addition to numbers you get math operations and should achieve some number. Game could even get more complicated during gameplay as new operations appear.

Some facts. I'm not sure how is that helpful in real life or how important but I'm adding them just for information: * SQLite itself has configurable cache and some other caching options: a) http://www.sqlite.org/p

SQLite does not discourage using it for websites https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html . I use it for some low traffic web sites and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't. Benchmarking shows that my website can h

But it is not 90 miles / day. Still very impressive :)

Well, I think marathon each day is possible. I believe that's not far from what average persistence hunter runs a day (I have not checked my facts however). Running 3-4 times that is impossible IMHO. I have found this: http:/&#x2

About all commenters making fun of you. You meant 7 months (33 weeks). Ultramarathon each day is beyond capabilities of any living (or dead) man on this planet.

There are some US ships in Black Sea because of Sochi now. Let's wait until Sochi ends. Again Ukraine is interesting place. E.g. while some of them can be considered Russian because they don't speak Ukrainian language they conside

Well, as I'm from Eastern Europe and work in international company it somehow happens that I have some connecting points with Ukrainian people. Your first comment is about US only and doesn't mention Russia. You did that only with

Yes, sorry :) I am not very good in giving short, straight and good answers yet but I'm trying to improve.

You are spreading some FUD. Foreign politics of US or Russia definitely is in actions here but so what? What if people of Ukraine have actually some ideals and dreams about their future like people in the rest of the world? OK your name con

OK. Nice. But let's put it straight: what you have written is not contributing anything to discussion. That's like saying that USA people are dumb MacDonald eathing jerks because they have allowed NSA to happen.

You make assumption that free health systems in Europe are accessible to poor as well. I can't speak about Western Europe but in Eastern Europe free has cost as well. While it is not as expensive as USA. Unless you get some rare illnes

Wow. That looks outrageous. Unless it is some new antibiotics. Still in my case if I get sick I get some free services but I usually should pay myself for my medicine.

There should be more properties by which system is valued. Free system can be inefficient, corrupt and slow like it is partially in my country. Still results surprisingly are quite similar to US looking at statistics.

I was sarcastic about "a little bit" part. While it was expensive you got service and some attention. Still I agree that it is unreasonably expensive.
