I think your reply is knee-jerk and "lame". Why don't you enlighten us, instead of taking it so personally when somebody criticizes your field. I thought the article was excellent and made good arguments.

If you have to tell other people about your trips then it is (also) for vanity. Nobody does these extreme trips and doesn't tell about them to anybody.

The figure 8% of GDP sounded mind boggling. But apparently it's true. Quoth the wiki: "Approximately 43 million have student loans, with an average balance of $30,000. In 2017, average student loan debt reached $39, 400, an increa

I usually use cents as the stored amount, so no decimals. Is there something obviously wrong with this approach? Ie. if the price is 150.95 I store 15095 in the db and do the calculations with cents, and then divide by 100 when presenting t

Well, money talks, and weak people like money. The saudis are scum, I would never have anything to do with them. I mean the just now apparently "let" women drive! Are you kidding me, they still think of women as property and as le

Oh my, how can anybody think that they are in any way affiliated!? /s That's just a cop out. Both are equally dubious, sugarcoated garbage.

Comments beginning with "This". The comments when all comments seem to be concentrated in a couple of threads rehashing the same issues. All stories concerning the housing problem in SF. Nobody cares, move on, it's just a cit

The green parties around the world are to blame for this. The only worthwhile actions to combat this are 1) Using nuclear power (on a massive scale preferrably) 2) Stopping globalisation (because transport is such a large contributor to CO

To all the "where does the spent fuel go" (dump it in the ocean) and "too expensive" (regulatory problem). These things are not a problem. Only the irrational fear of "nucular" is the problem. Educate yourself

Haha, where I live we have no natural light even outside half of the year (near the arctic circle). And we are most productive during the dark season because there isn't anything else to do, or any distractions nagging on your mind (li

No, it's over 300km (source: have actually drived that much on a charge). It's an excellent car, can't imagine what a tesla has to offer over it (I don't care about 0-100km/h speed, ie. the zoe is quite fast enough,

Could someone explain the math here. So amazon is worth almost 500 times their income!? That doesn't make any sense even if they are growing like crazy and investing their profits or something.

How would you chart your body temperature? Starting with 0 kelvin? Then you could conclude that all is well because you can't spot a 2 degree increase, right?

Yes, nice example, let's all just eat mongo-nuts (which btw I have never seen lying on the ground where I live...) "One Bushman, when asked why he hadn't emulated neighboring tribes by adopting agriculture, replied, Why shoul

Excession by Iain M Banks. The other culture novels are also good but not as fun as Excession.

And then HBO makes a show like Westworld, i.e. low quality of shows and low amount, what a winning strategy :)

You can't compare to USA migration (esp. what happened in the past). Because there was no social security for the immigrants. So you were quite free to enter the country and work, but you had to take care of yourself. Contrast to eg. D

Isn't the intent of the law quite easy to understand? Do not track/store anything by default. And your site works perfectly and without questions. If you then have a legitimate need for some data, without which your site doesnät w

How does the "beneficial owner" benefit from the ownership if he can't prove he's the owner? How do they get their money out? And can't we tax them at this point? Yes I understand these are difficult schemes but ca

By all means he deserves more money, no problem. But why with a lower tax rate?

I think that for these big corporations the value of individual "knowledge workers" isn't that great, so they can afford to keep them in rush hour traffic and not have them operating at their peak (see also open office plans)

"You hold a 5 percent fixed-rate 30-year mortgage" Yeah, no. I know that many people may have loans of this size and I never understood it. And it is of course a reason for high prices. When my parent's bought a house a typic

And I have yet to see any "AI" worth anything. Some image recognition and rudimentary translation engines maybe, but "AI", way overhyped.

Probably not new users, or they shouldn't as the creator of BitKeeper says the project is dead and he is retired.

What are you talking about. I'm driving a Zoe as we speak. Super competive relative to a car I can't buy.

Renault already has a compelling electric car. A happy owner of a Zoe. Absolutely no regrets with this car. Which I can have today.

Seriously. I bought a Renault Zoe (in europe). What the F has Tesla to offer to maintain that kind of valuation? I can find zero compelling reasons to by a Tesla compared to the Renault. Oh and also, I can't buy a Tesla at this date at
