I tripped while practicing defence. I find it somewhat hilarious that you had a clear demonstration that accidents can happen in fights, yet you still advocate escalating to violence before verifying if the violence can be avoided altoget

Im not sure how I give that impression.. I've deliberately tried not too. You gave it by saying things like: If your well trained and you are happy that your assailant is unskilled then it makes sense to take action :) Anyway, I think t

I was robbed at knifepoint many years ago. I gave up my wallet willingly. I did so because I cared far more about being present for my wife and children than I cared about the fact that some assholes would enjoy the contents of my wallet.

You're repeatedly making the claim that you can differentiate, with near 100.00% accuracy, between street fighters who can and can not fight effectively (or get lucky in this one fight). That strikes me as bad math. (and I guess then it co

The chances of "winning" the physical fight could be insanely high, but it'd still make more sense to first try cooperation, to see if you could avoid the knife fight entirely.

Unfortunately everything I have posted is accurate (well, so far as I have been trained) Were you trained to believe that people who rob others at knifepoint are generally inexperienced with knife-handling and self-defense? Because your e

Kleck's advice is for rape victims, not robbery victims. The first citations I can find in google scholar indicate that the odds of being killed during/after rape is roughly two orders of magnitude higher than the odds of being killed durin

Criminology by Larry J. Siegel disagrees, asserting that while it decreases your chance of being robbed, it increases your chances of being injured or killed. edit: Zimring and Zuehl's study shows that robberies with "active noncooperation

The activity described isn't hacking... it's just creating an alternate, more efficient interface to the website, to increase their ticket purchasing efficacy. I wish the article had more details, so I could confirm or refute my suspicion t

Why should people in economically viable communities be forced to subsidize people who chose to live in remote areas? That is emphatically not what his comment stated, nor how the effects work. The specific argument is that by spending $1

My reaction to success is to aim higher, and fire again. I was going to say that my efforts are uncorrelated to my wallet, but I don't think that's true; I think they're inversely correlated. I hate to cite a second anecdote as rebuttal, bu

In case you think your posts were for naught, know that the argument annoyed me enough that I gave $100 to The Climate Project. It seemed a more worthwhile use of my resources than posting another comment that would have agreed with yours.

I believe it, but if I'm executing on something, I don't share the idea until it's strategically useful to do so.

I'm betting that this whole mess has been great for fabulis overall. Sure, they were inconvenienced and annoyed for a day or two, but it generated lots of publicity for their startup, not to mention lots of people linking to their site. At

How much square footage does one really need to support iTunes in the cloud? I suppose their market share puts some pretty heavy demands on scalability, but a 500k sf datacenter is a lot of datacenter, and storage is fairly dense these da

I miss my TiVo. I was an early adopter, buying one in 1999, and buying several more (with lifetime subscriptions) as wedding presents and christmas gifts. Their idea won, but now I'm saddled with an awful, clunky satellite DVR that doesn't

I am completely unsurprised, and I'm not being sarcastic. They probably think that they're using an "agile" methodology.

That's a great widget you got there, one of our finest, let me ring you up. Now... would you like the 24 month extended warranty? That widget is a piece of shit that is likely to catch fire the moment you bring it home.

Just as important is how people react to various presented identities. As a simple example, if Tim Bond thinks my investments are positioned poorly, I'll listen intently to his feedback and think long and hard about how best to react to it.

Your post also works if you swap the words iPhone and Android, and make some edits regarding a particular user's priorities. You could also swap one of the phones with 'Nokia N97', and it'd still work. The joy of differentiation!

A large part of what a college degree demonstrates is that you're willing to complete 4 years of crap, only some of which was fun / challenging / etc. Not many people want to hire a "whiz kid" who has already demonstrated that he'll quit

Is givv.org a 501c3? They don't state this on their website, and they claim you can give to anyone, not just charities, which makes me wonder if you lose the tax-deductibility by using givv.

Greece got about $1b from 85 Broad via a swap. They had approximately $300b in additional debt. This article exists because many readers like to pretend that bankers are the root of all evil.
