I've never understood why is it greed to want to keep your own money, but not greed to want someone else's.

The people of Ireland have democracy, perhaps they have different views on taxation than you do. It may come as a surprise to you but some people aren't so greedy as to believe that they are entitled to the fruits of other's labou

I assure you that outside , people are still mostly normal. I have visited this land, and spoken to its inhabitants, most everyone is pretty chill and friendly.

I have a machine that does all this it was $200 Canadian, which I assume means it’s $160 US. It was still kinda over priced.

Ok so a few years ago I bought the most ridiculous tea maker ever, it does everything put the tea in and the water, and it takes the tea out when it’s done and will keep it warm too. It cost $200 and I thought it was kind of over priced but

Speculation and greed is the foundation of all new technology. Entrepreneur: 'Hey, look if we boil water it moves this piston' Investors: 'We speculate that this may be important in the future, here's money'

As one of those kids to never went to school, I'm going to agree with you. Most people can't program, however, better schools are only slightly better in outputting people who can. I find fizzbuzz and other coding challenges much

Also, stop reading the news, when you see someone healthy, ask them what they do and/or pay for their advice. (A lot of healthy people are in the wellness industries) Being healthy isn't rocket science, but on the other hand it in

Exactly, it's game theory. The trick to getting high salaries is not to try to win individual negotiations but to win in the general marketplace. I always disclose and ask for their pay so that we can get that out of the way quickly, a

Most media companies, like most foreign governments including Russia, gave heavily to the side they expected to win. That side didn’t win.

So you are also against agriculture? It might be unethical, but I'll take unethical civilization over ethical subsistence hunter gathering (remember that even subsistence farming is unethical)

Yeah, I call the abstract code problems astronaut code, or more generally J2EE best practice code. To me this perfectly fits spaghetti code. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2001/04/21/dont-let-architect...

I only found out I was underprivileged (grew up not so well off, no formal education, etc) when I started talking to the privileged. Once I became successful, those same people said I wasn't underprivileged anymore, but was privileged

There's always going to be someone with a shit situation worse than yours. Using the better situations of others to justify your lack of risk taking is just lame. If you don't want to take risks, don't. There's plenty of

Life involves choices, most of the reason I dislike the 'no brogrammer/ninja/rockstar/competent people' culture is because its so wishy-washy about what it actually does and does not like. I'd rather know that

There's nothing wrong/illegal with having a monopoly, what is illegal is having a monopoly and having anti-competitive practices. Hence, you can only be investigated for anti-competitive practices when you have a monopoly because

Site C is going to be necessary as we transition to electric cars, unless we want to burn the fossil fuel centrally instead of distributed. We won't need it until it's painfully obvious we need it, and be we I mean all the places

I live in Vancouver we're so dumb that we protest dams so we can keep fossil fuel plants open. It must be nice to live in an area where people would choose hydro if it were available to them. The funny thing is the reservoir for the ne

by fleitz 9y ago
It takes generally a few years to fill up the reservoir, not two seasons. No one who relies on power from a dam cares that it doesn't always rain between 9 and 5. Solar output fluxes on 12 hour timescales, dams flux on 3 year timescale

If you build a dam it doesn't matter when it rains.

It also tastes like crap. In Vancouver the tap water tastes as good as bottled. The only thing better is fresh from a mountain creek.
