I'm sorry. I disagree that this is flame bait, but respect your interpretation. I do think it's important to recognize the crimes of historical figures especially in cases where people fall over each other about how much of a sain

When I bought my TV it was a curved smart TV. I wanted neither curved nor smart, but it was forced upon me by the requirements OLED and 4K. It also has support for 3D. Don't care about that either.

I would take a 10% pay cut for vastly better health, yes. And for food i disagree. 10% less is actually not that much less. It's more like remembering to eat less than it is to stop eating while still hungry.

We already know it's not exactly calories in, calories out. But it's close. This article too says that when the fat mice ate 10% less they went back to a normal weight. 10% less is not "starving yourself". If you have

A metrocard machine once just ate a $20 from me, and then gave me an error message saying it was unable to charge by card, or hand back the $20. And if I wanted my $20 back then I should send a letter to some address. I did, but I guess the

Are perpetual swaps inherently impossible outside the cryptocurrency space, or is this just a "… on the blockchain!" invention? I'm unconvinced that AMM is an actual good. It's like HFT, where you're counting centim

Google Cloud by now brings in almost as much as YouTube ads.[1] Notably up 39.4% year-on-year for 6 months ending 2022-06-30. Google Advertising is up "only" 15% the same period. Assuming consistent growth rate (big BIG assumption
