It's hard to understand because the way you write is like jumbled stream-of-consciousness, you did not lay out the facts clearly from the start.

You're not making much sense. Anyone googling the domain and following the link can plainly see there is adult content being served from there. No amount of insisting that it doesn't is gonna help you. If you own the domain, it lo

It aligns their incentives with yours. You know they really do want you to find a high paying job. Thats not something that can be said of most educational programs.

Strange. I know now no one who thinks drinking coffee is batshit crazy. We must hang out/work with very different people... Last I checked, caffeine in moderate doses has a mixed bag of positive and negative effects that's not cle

I get utterly bored with new sports within 3-6 months. This has happened with every sport I have tried, no matter how much I loved it at the beginning. Some people enjoy repetition. Some... really don't. For me the challenge is to keep

Eh, kind of, Canada is 20% native French; there are more French Canadians than Finnish people. Actually, if you look at Finland and Sweden as a whole, with Sweden having twice as many people, it's more like Finnish is French, and Swedi

Anecdote, i.e. me dating a girl with 3 boyfriends in the Bay Area.

Well, dating five people if you're (mostly hetero) female; dating one or two people, who are each dating five people, if you're (mostly hetero) male. Edit: Arguably, this is a better outcome than monogamy in a highly gender-skewed

They are completely comparable. You don't think people who change channels to avoid ads/who use DVRs is factored into the price per viewer for TV ads? Your individual impact might be harder to track than with ad-blockers, but on t

I'm confused, what is your point? Often you get the opposite effect of a drug in withdrawal, e.g. caffeine reduces headache pain, causes headaches in withdrawal.

It's worth mentioning, since most people don't know, that nicotine on it's own is not as addictive as tobacco. AFAIK the MAOIs in tobacco smoke contribute more to its addictiveness than nicotine [1] I've been chewing nic

By 'these sorts of trades' I meant 'trades with strangers without a trusted third party'. Of course a trusted third party obviates the need for complicated schemes.

I don't do these sort of trades but if I did I'd try: Buyer sends 1/4 of the BTC Sellers sends 1st card Buyer sends 1/2 of the BTC Seller sends 2nd card Buyer sends 1/4 of BTC That way the risk is shared, and both p

Ooooh thanks. I've been reading a lot of Spolsky's blog posts from 2005-2006... I was thinking, what's happened to this guy in the last 10 years? Everyone hates him? Securities fraud? What?

Oh shit, thanks, I had just set up a 301 redirect on my personal page this morning when I meant to use a 302, your post made me realize the mistake. I was sure it was the other way around 301->temporary, 302->permanent.

I'm with you, maybe I'm getting old too. The local language here is not english, but I use english voice recognition since it's better, which adds extra weirdness. I only use it to set alarms and reminders on google now.
