I got mine on AliExpress, titanium, lightweight, lenses with coating and anti-glare. $25 shipped. Got a second pair for about $32. I already had my eye exam paperwork and just sent them an image. It took about 4 weeks each time. Considering

Thomas Picketty did great research in this area. The way I understood part of his theory is that the rate at which the value of wealth increases is faster then the rate at which wages increase. In other words, those people who own things li

I hope you don't take offense but I feel it's hard on my eyes to read text on a black background. I tried to read the article but it kind of hurt my eyes and had to leave.

I always appreciate a little humor sometimes. The Borowitz Report is always nice to check on every so often.

So far there have not been too many third-party merchants who have profited on selling oxygen, but once they do, Amazon will definitely move in and take on this part of the market as well.

In my neighborhood Cox brought in Gigablast a few months ago and it is around $130/month. Google fiber is being put in now, and will be $70/month, so we will have two Gigabyte options. I like seeing the competition, and the result

Yes, I have been studying Chinese for about five years now and I can recognize about 2700 characters. Looking at this Japanese character set, I'm guessing I know 80% or so. I always act like charts like this.

I also have been thinking of ways that I can extend my life. I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for. Perhaps a therapy animal such as a dog or a cat... It seems like the probability of an accident occurring with an elephant in

I'm excited to see that it is not only English. There is a large trove of books in Chinese which I have been studying daily for The last 5 years. This is my favorite story on Ycombinator in quite some time.

Paid Click revenue up, revenue per click down. Does this indicate we are seeing more ads? More quantity, less quality? Hmmm...

Supremacy is the word that seems awkward here. "We might have something to show by the end of the year" seems to fall a little short of supremacy. And there is something about a double exponential rate? It still seems like we have

Perhaps I'm the only one, but I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at. Does this relate to Wikipedia? I kind of feel like it might really too people using the internet and their coordinates being displayed on the map, but ma

I don't think this is a race. If anything I think they're going to slow down a bit. That will be good for both sides.

Tuscan is so hot... I hope everyone is getting enough fluids, or else they might get a little woozy and won't be able to think straight.

I moved from Santa Clara to Irvine. I just think that the area down here is much bigger. At first I felt like I would miss a lot of the beautiful parks and scenery of the Bay area, and maybe I still do, but in time I found that there are so

What I would appreciate in a situation like this is more transparency. If there is squalor, make it easy for us to see for ourselves. And if this is something that is being exaggerated make it easy for us to see that too. I tend thing the c

I did not finish college, but I was able to extract a lot of value from the internet. Thinking from a more macro-level, I think a country that sees education as the leading reason they will be able to compete well in world markets as a cou

The main reason I don't use Shopify is the merchant fees. I can do better paying a developer to WooCommerce. and we have a pretty good system for doing all the patches and everything and haven't had any security problems or anythi

Ok, but spend a little time on the Chinese internet. Sure, they use "some" obligatory English, but the dependency is likely not what many imagine it to be.

Currently in China: largest number of people freed from poverty in human history. Their neighbors in SE Asia are also coming out of poverty, maybe 20 years behind China. I think trade war could make it tough for all, hoping we can avoid it.

How many Iraqi civilians did US government forces kill? The US nuclear bomb drops on Japanese ciivilians? Was that fine compared with organ harvesting? My point is not that any of this is okay, but so easy to point the finger and "the

You're right about that but I don't know that you really understand fully either. In the United States we have a lot of secret money funding agendas in our social media that could most certainly be regarded as propaganda. In China

I don't feel your comment is rooted in a deep understanding of Chinese history, but I hear what you're saying. I personally believe that if the current leader started to exhibit behavior that was crazy, he would be removed. And yo
