I'm not sure, but I'm willing to guess that it probably isn't possible to handle it "internally" when you have been fired for a 4.7 rating. I mean, Uber ignored them when they were in front their building. Do you think Uber did that because

FWIW, I've been on an interstate Amtrak train and watched plain clothed officers or agents of something or other, board at a stop and randomly search bags.

It's funny how humans tend to fully forget about things that happened only 100 years prior. Back in the late 1800's and early 1900's, some 50% of the American population was addicted to opiates in one form or another, usually without even r

Yeah, but when you think about, everything you put in your mouth is an exogenous modification of, at least your body's chemistry, if not your brain's chemistry. We live in a world of gray areas, not black and white.

In my opinion, the most fascinating and progressive areas of study are the ones that aren't studied, due to a multitude of political reasons. It makes me feel quite bad for people that can't fully entertain an idea if it hasn't been through

In regards to the original question, Yes. Contrary to some peoples' beliefs, experiencing new perspectives is good for learning, problem solving, living. Francis Crick supposedly discovered the DNA helix while in the alternate universe that

As a former quora user, I definitely did not get the impression that they "recognized they crossed the line on that one." The impression I did get however was that the "views feature" was very much a consciously thought out decision, as I w

> The reason more women aren't in software is staring us right in the face. I'm no node.js wiz here, but I think I have a valid idea... maybe the reason that most of the women that didn't become programmers, didn't become programmers be

I wish I could "third" this. I should have clarified that the only thing I find sad about the Tesla Museum being in Belgrade, is that I don't have the time or money to go and visit it. If I remember correctly, those behind the museum had to

Awesome, awesome idea. I find it sad that if you want to visit a Tesla museum you'd have to book a ticket to Serbia, even though the majority of his work was done here in the U.S., and he spent the majority of his life here. "Wizard: The Li

Coming from the same situation as the OP, only reversed (grew up a skating every single day, got addicted to programming later on), I would like to contribute a little context to the OP's brush with skateboarding. Sure, I remember ollieing

Whoa, I'm really glad I read that. I've always had this lingering worry that my being completely new to coding, and my tendency to learn by doing instead of reading a book... any book, would surely prevent me from finding success. It's just
