How about the women that you see IRL? Is the average woman, worse or better than the average porn star?

Last two years I followed r/fi obsessedly like it's a life philosophy. Holy hell did it work well. As a result of it, I did extremely well financially even with my very little income as a grad student. I've achieved my saving

All you said is true. Forget to mention, aside from that, I love Singapore in general and I have no illusion that the US is getting more hostile by the day. I have been in the US as a foreigner for 10 years. Last time I came back, I was has

I think one of the few really, really good things we have left in the US is that I _feel_ that I am trusted to do the right thing. I was in Singapore, a rich, orderly state for an internship a couple of years ago. There were cameras everywh

When I see the word Electron, I just don't install the "app." I am convinced that the 3MB winamp does just a good of a job being a media player as the stupid "electron" "app" that takes 20x as much RAM.

In no time in history do I find so rewarding reading and understanding crazy papers like right now. I wish I had the balls to actually read and understand the bitcoin years ago. Even if this thing becomes nothing, this is a bubble, I don&

I am off Facebook for a year now. I think life is a bit better not having facebook -- considered everything is already alright. I think, however, if someone is depressed, being on Facebook is a huge problem. Which is ironically what I resor

LEDE has a very active anti-bufferbloat research people working with it. LEDE has, in general, active, managed, and unified development. You'd have to hunt down a specific Tomato/DD version that works for you. Sometimes the latest

I have tons of silly projects on GitHub. The same thing for DeviantArt too, I would think the 1-hour programmer hackjob is probably just as bad as a 1-hour caricature.

That's so true. I helped a friend who is hosting his freaking school research symposium website on there. It's easy to set up and collaborate on there. Love that.

I like how some people support net neutrality for the same reason - I can use my bandwidth for whatever purpose I want. Then how about paying/using my energy for whatever I want? Compared to people who would drive 1 hour per day to wor

Plus, even if you understand that, the thrill of having a shot at gaining thousands of followers instantly (like the root empty password guy) if you get lucky and get covered by news outlets is a great incentive for people to not responsibl

I just watched Gone with the wind, and I realized real life is much more nuanced than just 'slavery being legal.' Planning to read the book whenever I have time.

I have some connections with people back in Vietnam. While the situation was extremely unlikely and most unfortunate, I can imagine this happening. There are many grandmas and grandpas who own shops that don't care about profits in Han

Glad to hear you're doing well and cheers that we still recognize each other on this international forums :)

It was in St Louis. I would say that was extreme. But I understand that -- if my family was killed in the war or on the way fleeing, I might never get over it.

It really surprised me that two of the books he mentioned were about the Vietnam war. I am a Vietnamese millennial who have never experienced a day of the war and moved to the US as a college student. While most people have come to the agre

Store how? I was from a country that the money inflated 25% over a year, and the government made it extremely hard to send the money abroad. In the US, it's not possible to open a bank account without a SSN. How do you get an SSN if yo

I haven't been understanding bitcoin for the longest time: It has been more than five years since I first heard about it. I tried to look it up, I can never quite get the overall picture, why it works the way it is. I finally understoo

You don't need to buy branded laptops to be able to disable Intel ME. Thanks to me_cleaner, I have been running my Chromebooks with Intel ME disabled for years. You can do it too if you have 30 minutes and a raspberry pi. Here is what

Bitcoin mining is inefficient compared to what? You have to see that mining bitcoin is getting more efficient by day, while hiring a bank clerk can only reach a certain level of efficiency. In that sense bitcoin might be a better choice vs.

Relying on timings for this type of thing is impractical because you'd have to sync the time to the nanoseconds and wireless is notorious for being noisy. It'd make it more expensive too. The most practical one, I think, is to mak
