You conveniently elided the preceding part and where he suggested devoting time instead of money. No matter your selective citation his tone was still that of a critique or complaint.

When you're busy with your new, own projects, time is in short supply. Are you seriously going to complain that people angel invest? It's of great benefit to founders.

S&P 500 ETF Trust gained 63.42%, last 10 years. Vanguard 500 Index Fund, 130.56% since 2010. And neither look like hockey sticks.

I do most of my reading on physical books, but I have the core of my library on a Kindle as well, and where it shines is search. I can phrase and keyword search the larger part of my library. It has become an invaluable research tool. I als

From the blog post: "Except for some basic UNIX tools, like grep or make, it's almost impossible to find anything that's truly finished, not simply abandoned." Now, granted, must of us on anything Unix-like is on a BSD o

UNIX is a trademark; It's "the Unix philosophy", not "the UNIX philosophy."

This is just wrong, and insulting; the Unix philosophy is not about laziness.

Examples of underlying computing problems that are unsolvable if one follows the Unix philosophy? Keep in mind that it's often misunderstood what the primary tenets of the Unix philosophy are; your comment demonstrates you, too, have m

If this is what mindfulness could do for me I'm doubtful it's something I need; I think I have found other ways in which much the same is achieved. E.g., I've never found difficulty in disconnecting or disengaging from situat

Burning to death only hurts briefly, when the nerves have had enough damage you can't feel. Adrenaline helps block pain, as well. Besides, self-immolation is not exclusive to those who have practiced mindfulness. Ever had a severe acci

I seem to be missing it too. You don't need mindfulness to be on a particular diet, or to avoid sugar, or obesity.

Visual Studio Enterprise is $2999/year, Pro is $539. Might as well add anywhere from $400 to $1500 for the IncrediBuild license.

I won't really get into the politics of vehicles, but many people do need a car if they are to make a living, thinking otherwise is naive and unrealistic. For many, it is their living. Others need it for personal freedom, some people e

I still don't understand where you get 25-35% tax "all-in" from, as you wrote in a previous post. It seems if you're to make what's considered anything like a decent wage in this sector (tech) you will pay at least

You seem to agree that Denmark's vehicle taxation is remarkably high. Many people are reliant on having a vehicle, and one larger than a Polo, so their total taxation is remarkably higher than in other countries based on this alone. Yo

For being one of the richest countries in the world the median income is way too low (especially for single-households). And a direct comparison with other countries can't be done without factoring in all the taxes we have in addition

Everyone's biased, but descriptions matching those above are commonly observed here regardless of political views. They are in fact common to the point of triteness. If I were to talk about what's actually going on and explain why

Exactly. Median income in Norway is scary low, especially for single-person households. https://www.ssb.no/en/inntekt-og-forbruk/nokkeltall
