Every time I bought something direct from his website, I got a quick thank you email. I think that's what is meant - not that he writes to you if you buy it in the bookstore.

If your definition of "luck" is so restrictive as to say that a person's genes aren't luck, then probably nothing counts as luck for you. From the perspective of the person "receiving" genes and their moral des

Yes, including the laws of property. How many steps does it take from me choosing to sleep on land the government recognizes you as owning to officers forcibly removing me from it? It always amuses me how people seem to think that violence

> First we would need to conclude that there is such a group of people. Do we need to agree that first? One of two things are true, at least in broad outline: 1. Intelligence is genetic, so there are people who are more of less intellige

I think even if you fully pool finances, it is best to each take an agreed "allowance" out of that for personal consumption. I don't think its healthy to be a position where any and every purchase you make could be questioned

I find I enjoy drinking a lot more when I hardly ever do it. If I have a glass of wine a few nights a week, its meh. If I hardly ever drink, the very occasional glass of wine or two is absolute heaven. I'm unlikely to go teetotal, but

I'm an avid buyer of books, and I recently realised that, given that an 80 year lifespan is a mere 4000 weeks, I could read a book every week and not get through my collection. I thought I had so much more time.

I tried carbon steel but I couldn't get the seasoning right, and it flash rusted every time I washed it. Also, to someone used to non-stick or stainless steel, it often looks kind of dirty - its difficult to distinguish between "g

I don't want to know about this. I only read the first few paragraphs, and I literally want to scrub the information from my brain. I don't want to know that humanity can produce people like this.

Very addictive. One thing that would be interesting would be a mode where you have limited fuel. Also, the ability to set different buttons would be good. Towards the end of the landing I want to use one hand for left-right, and the other f

I take issue with the idea that maintainable code is about "making programmers' lives easier", rather than "making code that is correct and is easy to keep correct as it evolves". Correctness matters for the user -

This is like "eat less than you burn". True but completely unhelpful.

Jesus, have you seen the rest of the website that article was originally published on, though. "Consciousness and Immortality". Alright mate.

I went through a phase of getting "Eat Grub" edible cricket snacks. Feeling somewhat regretful. Stupid trendy bugs.
