I agree that having absolutely no money means you cannot do research of any reasonable magnitude. That doesn't mean that money has anything to do with how correct you are :) > I'm hopeful that both of us (you and me) will be ab

The "if" was not meant to indicate I doubted you. I agree. It was to indicate a prior in the sense of "if this is true, this other thing should also be true). VMs are also not a foolproof solution to operational security. It

The success came from the fact that it was so much better than competitors (more storage, a better interface and better search. All that matters in email). The invites were just an irritating hurdle to get past to have something good.

Kind of a weird take, to be honest. If containerization is not security, them not running as root should be an absolutely critical first step for managing risk.

It probably is a question for SO, where it would be best described with a script that sets up the minimum environment required to reproduce and the situation that you want to achieve. This description doesn't quite get me to an underst

If you take a step back you see that when they currently die, someone with roughly their money takes over. Good families keep generational wealth, so you will always be under the influence of some rich person. It is our modern royalty after

I like to look at it holistically. If you don't want to live forever, your life is a rounding error anyway. May as well die today. Don't want to do that? Why do you imagine you want to do that in ten years?

If money was what it took to be correct in medicine, Theranos would be a huge success.

It's nice that they do it anyway, but I still don't appreciate it and I don't like it when they do it to more things. I'm not sure why "but they already do it!" should be an argument for liking it (or even tole

> You can't lower your risk of dying. Of course you can. Moderate exercise unambiguously makes this risk lower. Of course, even with much lower risk today you will eventually die. Perhaps this is what you meant.

I have a weird habit of quitting for 6-12 months and then resuming drinking it. I've done so twice now (once when I was a bit younger, and the second time recently) and my impression is that overall everything is better when I do drink

I think I can conceptually disagree even with things that don't affect me. Similar to how I'm not a fan of blood diamonds or ethnic cleansing.

If you act like that people will assume it makes sense (most can read your body language to some extent). It sounds too simple (and it's definitely harder than it sounds), but you should stop assuming those things. If you find this ver

Leaving aside the issue of search bubbles, the first link I find states that the real median household income in the US was "below 1999 levels until 2016". That doesn't support your point at all. Edit: In US terms, "real

This is both racist and sexist within two sentences. I've definitely seen a higher density, but not very often. For the casual reader: I have used these trains a number of times and this is definitely not the norm.
