I thought this was going to be about existentialism and depression.

This is exactly why I hated living in the SF Bay Area. We've all heard the jokes: Man Jose and Man Francisco. This article just reminded me of the terrible time I had trying to meet a nice gal there for nearly a decade. Although, to

I'm surprised this isn't getting more traction on Hacker News. It's blowing up on r/technology. Pretty surprising to see the mum reaction here. I was hoping to get some more insight into the legal aspects of what happ

Wow. For some reason, I thought he was dead a long time ago. RIP

At least he went fast from the time of diagnosis. If I get cancer, that's how I want to go: in a few months time from diagnosis. I don't want to spend several years being tortured with anxiety and fear and pain.

Finally, someone who understands the true meaning of hypocrisy. Pretense is a large part of hypocrisy. People often misunderstand that by saying someone who does something opposite of their beliefs is a hypocrite. No, it's both that

I hate these sort of ratings. Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I would be really happy living in a desert if there were a lot of attractive women who happen to be attracted to me. But, hey, that's just me. I could

I could see this being economical with quad copter (drone) delivery. But, home delivery from a car? Man, the gas expenses (among other car related expenses) would eat the profits to a bare minimum. Especially driving around SF.

Before more people come in to defend Google, ive known for quite awhile that theyve been snooping their own employees emails. Before gmail went live nearly 10 years ago, there were beta accounts one could get. The only way you could get o

This is a very good course to take as an intro to advanced mathematics. There is also usually an Intro to Adv Math in most undergrad programs. I've taken both at the same time, and they have lots of overlap. I've found both to

Yes, most definitely introspective. In fact, I used to think about life and death all the time as a kid. And, it would get me depressed thinking that my mom would someday be dead, and that I would be dead too. I realized at a very young

I was older. I distinctly remember struggling with English when we first moved to Hawaii. I could NOT talk to the other kids. I also remember my older cousins catching on much more quickly than me. I think I finally grasped English when

Fair enough. However, I believe my circumstances are starkly different. My parents are native Koreans, and they couldn't speak English worth a damn until I was much older. I really can't see how they could convey these stories

I have distinct memories of when I was 2-3 y.o. that have astounded my parents. I was raised in Korea till I was about 3, then we all flew to Hawaii to immigrate to the U.S. I remember the flight, I remember my life in Korea, I remember g

Sorry for the late response. No, the 700k didn't. However, our house isn't worth much. We live in a rural part of Canada, and our house here was just under $70k. It's a pretty nice house too. You can even find cheaper ho

I actually retired at age 40 with less than 700k. My wife and I own a house. We both moved back to Canada, so we don't worry about health care costs. And, we really don't spend money on much. I figured our food/living cos

I actually had the opposite experience. Every time I needed a rideshare on CL, I couldn't find one. Or, when I offered a rideshare, I got no responses. And when I did get a response, it was from someone who didn't read my post

I wonder how this works for people who have stayed up for multiple days at a time. I know of people who have underwent sleep deprivation studies for over several days. The current record, I think, is 2 weeks. Personally, I have stayed up

No ways. Unless you want to have a hard time getting a place to rent or get a mortgage, you WILL need to have credit. I learned that the hard way when I cancelled all my credit cards two years ago and have had no debt or loans since. I j

I can't get the game to run. It just sits on "Downloading Data" forever, even after it has downloaded the Dropbox data. What gives?

I'm thinking of switching majors. I'm currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy, but after a semester, I'm realizing it is just not for me. I did my undergrad in math and chemistry, and I've always regretted

Are you talking about physical fitness? Or, reproductive fitness? Based on what you're saying, it seems that "fitness" you're referring to is different than what I'm guessing.

The biggest problem with Bitcoin is the lack of liquidity, and this is why we're always going to see massive price fluctuations with this currency. And, until the liquidity problem is fixed, no way in hell is this going to ever be clo

It's really not that bad. I spend probably 15 minutes a week to roast a lb of coffee. Just get a small, stainless steel pot (I use a 1 qt KitchenAid) with a thick even heat base. Then, warm up the pan for 3 minutes, add coffee beans,

by mililani 13y ago
Yeah, for sure. Actually, you're supposed to let most freshly roasted beans to sit for a couple of days before grinding to allow off gassing. But, what I meant was, if you WANT the freshly roasted possible beans, this is the way to g

$18/lb??? What a rip off. If anyone is wanting to get into great coffee without spending an arm and a leg, please look into roasting your own coffee beans. There is a place called Sweet Maria's in Oakland that can ship it to yo

I want to see the list things San Franciscans should NOT be thankful for. Let me think of some things: 1) crazy high rents 2) lots of homeless people 3) urine smell every where 4) horrible parking and traffic 5) foggy cold summers -- maybe
