I switched from Facebook to Twitter/Snap/Insta. Much easier than I expected, I still check my facebook once every few weeks, but the content on FB was garbage.

Funny you mention this, the actual unit would be Calories squared/(dollar*second). The article was studied literally yesterday and the conclusion for under 3 minute (prep) meals was that Ramen was number 1. However, I'm considerin

Ouch Telegraph? Remember that the telegraph posted this advertisement https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10210327/McDouble-i... Google Efficiency Is Everything. Thats actually data and not some tabloid click

>People is overweight because they can not afford healthy food. Fruits and other healthier food is more expensive than junk food. This is wrong. I study food as my expertise, and junk food is always less than 200 calories per dollar. Fre

Land is good, but can be seized by a government. I know an Iraqi family that went from riches to rags due to this. Gold is good, but as a chemical engineer, nuclear chemistry is a real threat. I love ETFs, but I think the market is artifici

Expecting downvotes, but looking for ideas- Serious question, what is the issue with inequality when low income people are overweight and have iphones? This is obviously a simplification, but in 1 sentence I think I got my point across. Sta

I believe in Bitcoin only. The people that have been around for almost a decade have treated Bitcoin as a hedge against Fiat currency inflation. Similar to how people treat gold. I am one of these people that believe in the 21,000,000 solut

This sounds awful, we have technology in china that costs millions to replace. My company is seriously hurting, where last year we have our best profits in decades, this last quarter was survival. I hate money in politics, but I'm star

I like this mentality, but there needs to be education around fact finding and logic. (Formerly the scientific method, but I think that got hijacked with PhD politics) Me and my brother are building a dishwasher but he seems to jump into so

Why? The most creative people I know are engineers. My friend who studied music is a tutor making $15/hr. He isnt writing, I know this, he does his job, goes home, end of the day as far as society outside netflix is concerned. While th

This sounds like/is bad economics. Educated populace in video game history isnt value added like an engineering degree. You can educate yourself in anything, but society only values education in a few value-added sectors.

(I think) I'm a fan of getting rid of subsidized loans for education. It has only made the cost of education go up rather than make college affordable. But on the flip side, what can be expected from people with no ability to afford co

Yep, Apple is really bad for developers and users alike. Evil company.

Ive heard this about trucks being automated for 3 years now. Truck drivers have probably heard this for a few years longer than that. At what point do you blame the individual for not learning any skill in this time period?

Seeing how much free content exists on youtube, I imagine the future is going to be creative/hobby based. It wont pay as much as programmers who eliminate jobs, but given how starvation is over, people live alone, and I watch my friend

Seeing facebook run ads constantly makes me think they'd find a way to turn you against the courts, and turn the courts against you. Money can do lots of PR and marketing work.

Because market cap is Number of outstanding shares * current market price. If Apple sold 90% of their shares in a day, the price would be close to 0.

Im pretty sick of websites asking for my home address, phone number, and (most importantly) my email address. This is easily one of my favorite parts about Bitcoin. Scan the address and you are done.

I find crypto currency identical in difficulty as using foreign currency. Once you convert Fiat to crypto, its easier to spend than using a debit/credit card. Getting it from Fiat to crypto is the hard part. After that you literally sc

I had this exact problem this weekend, and I'm kinda salty. For one, I threw an engineering event, at 8pm to casually design a solution to a problem. By 11PM, there was a leading idea, and I took time to think about everything. I quest

I am not saying this. I'm saying that as we have seen again and again in history, money will influence politics.
