The poster that you'r replying to didn't "[lose] it". They replied to the contents of your comments and addressed your points. "Tongue-in-cheek" comments are more popular on reddit.

It's not the company making the decision; it's oneself. Of course, you're free to make your own decisions, but I personally use the "don't" policy.

If the situation is avoided, then there's no need to differentiate. That's the best part about the "don't" policy. There are plenty of people out there. Also, hypergamy doesn't require that the two parties work

Does anyone know why this kind of time formatting has caught on? It takes timezones out of the picture, but also results in large rounding and sometimes the need to consult a calendar. Just below this comment box there are many "1 hour

There's even an easy analogy for this! Putting strobe lights on fast, repetitively moving machines allows you to see their motion slowed down. EDIT: I'm responding here to the parent poster's claim, not to the original articl

They'd probably benefit by making it easier to enforce, so I agree that they should absolutely do this. This assumes easy enforcement is what they are looking for.

I think I saw this on another thread. You're saying if someone bids that they can do something for a price that's not reasonable, it's my fault for believing their mischaracterization? "Fool me once, shame on me." I

If someone could find evidence to support this, I think this would be even more damaging for his persona. All this fight "for principle" that comes down to $X million.

Do you have reason to believe the second article wasn't written by him? It doesn't seem like it was written by a professional writer to me. Neither of those articles cast him in a particularly good light, but I cited them because

Unfortunately for everyone, it seems like his personality is toxic to others and himself . If you read some of the articles about him, he "regrets buying the property" and to me seems pretty conflicted about the whole ordeal. He

That means the price of a cryptocurrency should be tightly correlated to the hashes per second. I believe that is not the case, but I've only looked at bitcoin.

It may vary with scale. Similar to how swarming populations (cicadas) can saturate the local predators.

I'd rather think about this in the context of healthcare. It would be nice if we had healthcare for all, because it would make hiring people easier, and people could have healthcare even if they aren't employed. This Stop BEZOS Ac

I'd think you'd also need to see the rate of leaded gas burning per area. Fewer people drive cars in some of those countries, and there are fewer cars per square area.

In order to realize this tax free wealth gain, the shareholders would have to sell the stocks and pay taxes, right? It sounds like then the most important factor is not the double taxation, but that you get to choose when the "second&q

Some things you can only reasonably do once a year, and I think it'd be a disservice to them to not do some planning. I like to think of it like a harvest festival: we've worked all year, let's enjoy some of the fruits of our
