   This is a great piece and I have bought the book. I'm expecting that in the decades ahead we will begin to see conferences on the conflict between science and atheism. Research into the question of the origin of life has put atheism

   Airline travel has certainly become a lot shittier since I first began flying in the 1970s. In fact, it used to be comfortable, cool, fun, and glamorous, and the stewardesses used to be beautiful and polite.

   In other words, you want to salt the land? Isn't that what marauders do when they want to destroy an area permanently?

   I'd be interested in listening to George Hotz without having Fridman involved at all.

   This is an example of the creative power of Evolution at work -- dogs that did not align themselves with the Earth's magnetic poles when peeing were simply been eliminated from the gene pool by the unyielding machine that is the surviv

   And then you ask the waiter what the price is, too? And then, when that seems a bit much, you ask him what else is good and what the price of that is? But if that doesn't strike your fancy, then you ask him what a third good thing is

    This is why I think we need to change the way we view students and education generally and reintroduce corporal punishments, such as caning.

    How could actual confiscations possibly lead to larger concerns? Cellphones didn't even exit until I was an adult and I'm still in my 40s. Sheesh. How the hell did anything happen before the year 2005?

    I think it probably makes sense to give up. After all, we fought World War 2 without computers or cell phones, but people were different in those days. Now we take care of people more and prioritize how to stay in touch with caretakers, s

    One thing I noticed when I began wearing barefoot shoes a few years ago was that I had to change the way I walked because when you're walking barefoot on concrete sidewalks you simply have to use your abs more and change the part of yo

    I'm no rockstar, but I've worked with people who were 1/100th as productive as me for sure. There are some real morons out there with software engineering jobs.

    This is the size of a funding round that makes sense to me for a startup that is trying to build software.

    All you people worried about privacy should consider the fact that every thought you have and dream you dream is recorded in your DNA and will be read out before the world when you stand in judgment before God.

    I'm working with the Django ORM and I absolutely love it. Maybe it'll bite me in the ass five years from now, but I'll have made millions by then.

    It took me years, but I eventually got to the point where I could legitimately do the standing splits to full extension, lol. I'm now working on conquering the handstand.

    This is how you get stuck working with XML in 2023, as is the case with a woman I was just talking to the other day at my co-working space.

    Fantastic article. I was on the isomorphic JavaScript hype train for a couple of years with Meteor.js and that really burned me. Now I can't stand JavaScript and I like Elixir and Python.

    There is no such thing as "excess profits" -- people start businesses and invest in businesses in order to get rich. Anything less than "excess profit" isn't enough profit.

    I've used both Ecto and the Django ORM and I have to say that the Django ORM feels a lot more intuitive and seems to be incredibly powerful. Now granted I don't have more than a few months of experience working with each, so mayb

    My first thought is that you're going to sacrifice the first 13 years of your life to some nonsense anyway, so there's no getting around that.
