I wish there was a culture for people to do some basic exercise everyday. The same as it is expected to go to work daily you should also do some exercise. I have been doing a daily routine of 30-45 minutes almost every day for the last 15

My company is a windows shop and around 2013 we wee looking at Macs to replace Windows. Back then Macs were quite competitively priced compared to Windows machines. But that seems over now.

The end 70s and then the 80s brought personal computing to the masses. I wouldn’t call that quiet.

Personally I don't want to see the other person during a video conference. I find it distracting.

Agreed. One translation I have read is "You are entitled to your actions but not the results". I find that a great philosophy.

There is a lot of complaining in health care but there are a lot of people making very good money and the overall system is way too expensive. The whole system is ripe for an overhaul but I bet they will fight any reform tooth and nail beca

"In some small European countries, no one from there has yet climbed Everest, Nanga Parbat etc. without supplementary oxygen." Isn't that a totally different level? I thought most paid climbers use oxygen.

I have talked to a guy who had climbed Mount Everest that way. He had the goal of climbing all the highest peaks on all continents and Everest was one of them. He also came from a wealthy family. He had the time and money to put in the time

That’s probably it. Also, there are climbers who do it for the love of climbing but for most of these people it’s something to brag about. “ Not only am I better because I am rich but I am also physically better and I do harder things tha

I think you’re underestimating the difficulty. No moderately fit person can do it. You have to be very good but even then it’s still a big risk.

by maxxxxx 7y ago
Yeah. With diving an abort is not a big deal. Just do it again tomorrow. With Everest you have already put in a lot of effort and money and you may never get the opportunity to do it again. Also, when you do stupid things there is often a g

" I don't think UWP is suitable for such information density. " This may be true but it doesn't speak well for UWP.

I was saying the same thing but once you have one it's actually quite nice from time to time.

I agree. I would have been fine if the new control panel superseded the old version but since Win8 we have this schizophrenic situation where we have two control panels that both have features the other version doesn't have. Win10 is a

"plus the added liability of it breaking and a consumer reaching their hand inside." Do people just make this stuff as up as a concern? There are plenty of areas where this is done without problems.

I don’t know much about ads but that’s something I have noticed. When online ads started they are actually sometimes useful to me because of context. Now they are totally useless to me. They are just noise.

I think you can regulate it to an acceptable level. But that would require politician courage to stand up against the capitalists.

by maxxxxx 7y ago
I used to do options in the end 90s and back then long term options were crazy expensive. You need a lot of capital for such a strategy.

by maxxxxx 7y ago
Without regulation we would be much worse off. There is a lot of room for improvement though

I thought that a lot of sons of wealthy families went into priesthood so by keeping them celibate the church would then get their inheritance. That’s how I heard it.

It used to be that when you looked at kiteboarding forums or blogs you would see kiteboarding or travel ads. No tracking of individuals needed. I think that’s what you are talking about. Now you see ads for blenders because you bought one o

I think the problem is that if you want to have a smooth UI development costs go up exponentially. There are just a lot of details necessary to be addressed. Hard to do on low budget.

The medical area is full of self serving stories that are used to justify super high prices but almost always aren't backed up by hard numbers.

That’s totally backwards. If nobody had had any money nobody wouldn’t have bought any phones. You Can’t just invest into things nobody can buy.

What kind of messed up thinking is this? More consumer spending has an opportunity cost? What’s a capitalist supposed to do if nobody can afford their stuff?
