I actually really appreciate second-hand books. It sounds weird, but it makes it feel like there's more life to a book knowing others have read that exact copy. I also find it interesting and often helpful reading notes or underlined&#

The main question to ask her is why is YTS throwing their users under the bus? Were the operators of YTS threatened with lawsuits? Or is YTS being run as a honeytrap to lure unsuspecting users with the intention of eventually receiving copy

Why is the title of this "Germany begins..." when there's only 120 people in the trial? This would be an appropriate title if it were a trial with 120,000 people.

I have an 20 month old and am planning to get him a tablet for long car rides, but that's it until he's a little older. Most content kids consume on tablets is essentially junk food for the brain. Also, humans aren't meant to

The issue is that the macroeconomics don't add up. Millennials aren't having enough kids, so at the current population growth rate there won't be enough workers to sustain the system in its current form. We obviously need to

I agree college is overpriced, but I doubt Thiel's companies often hire people without a formal college education. He's really just stating the obvious here without mentioning any viable alternatives.

My guess is that insider trading practices are simply getting smarter. e.g. receive a hot insider tip? In the old days they'd just buy up a bunch of that stock. Nowadays, there are systems that can trigger diversified purchases across

I'm not discounting moonshot business ideas. I'm saying there's a bunch of capable people out there that may not have any idea what exactly to build. And I'm saying people like that could benefit from active discussion o

YC needs a version (or sub-section) of startup school that's focused on generating quality startup ideas. I feel like that's a huge aspect that isn't really talked about. This "Build Sprint" is an example...they jum

Do you have a source for this? I tried to find the laws on this but don't really see anything that discusses accessing a list of who voted during an election. I feel this this should be inaccessible until after the election.

I think there needs to be some form of authentication to at least publicly show IF someone voted or not. i.e. this way, we could log on to make sure a vote wasn't cast from our dead Uncle Albert or w/e...and maybe even voters coul

This isn't incorrect. I said per-capita relative to income, not to mention the difference in purchasing power of what's left. I'm not talking about the total amount paid by the richest.

So why is this article framed as a doom & gloom coronavirus article if the only thing they're trying to communicate is "it's gonna be hard to pick out the corona patients"?

According to the WHO, the virus shows no signs of seasonal patterns[1]. This means that the spread and transmission of the virus doesn't change depending on the time of year. So which organization is wrong? Also, I've seen many po

I don't think anyone is against your examples. The issue is WHERE the tax money is coming from and the PROPORTIONS of tax paid in relation to overall income. Unfortunately right now the middle class is being stuck with most of the bill

The only downside is that this mindset turns the world into a steaming pile of dog-crap and makes the problem worse. Think about what you're actually saying here. You're saying we should shift the "quality of life" compe

I think competitions like this exist so city governments can get cheap or free labor in exchange for a pat on the back. And take a look at who the "judges" work for (most are from venture capital places). They're only there t

No wonder there's so much division in the world considering people live in their own echo chamber, and consume media that's an echo chamber comprised of journalists creating their own echo chambers.
