Gotta disagree with you on this one, since in your example, 'candies' corresponds with USD in the real situation, while USD corresponds with ETH, which is quite distinctly not a real currency. Not exactly an apt comparison.

I have no such privileges but I fail to see why you would use them here. Off-topic, yet directly tied into a main player in the article? Flame-bait, because it calls into attention the fact that this feel-good piece is easily seen as applau

From my experience as someone having moved to California from Canada, it seems there is quite a large homeless population which actively chooses to be in California as opposed to other places owing to its extremely mild climate. Since I mov

If I pay American taxes and not Canadian taxes, that's fine. A bit unfortunate because the bracket I'll be in is higher as is the tax rate, but not the end of the world. The only real obstruction I'm worried about is the lega

Thanks for your time. That's interesting. I guess this might be a little more nuanced than I thought. So, despite the fact that the company would be a Canadian entity, I would be considered self-employed. Would a simple workaround be e

I wasn't really trying to imply it's bad advice or isn't ethical or anything. I get that the parallel I decided to draw does indeed somewhat imply that, but my intentions weren't as such. Just struck me as funny.

Not really a criticism, but this read a bit like a slimy dating guide. "Remember, like everyone else they want to feel wanted for more than their money". "Keep them all interested until you've made up your mind". &q

Like I said, the most latency-sensitive topic I can relate to is first-person shooters; in particular, I play the game CS:GO, where one shot can knock you out of a round. I play within a 40ms ping area, generally around 20-30ms of ping, and

I don't really think that we believe either of those things; it seems a lot has been written on how MAD is a rather poor sentiment to rest our future upon. But all that aside, 20 countries each having 50 warheads seems a lot likelier t

I think about this sometimes. Ground, I have no answer, you seem like you will die. Perhaps landing legs first allows you to use those as a crumple zone. Water, though, isn't the pencil dive the clear winner? Everything else would dece

You're comparing Go to RN. The comparison he's making is Matcha to RN. Matcha doesn't come from a giant company. The language it's in does, but that doesn't mean anything for framework momentum.

Sorry, this is just a trivial observation, but if you're going to accept x + x + 100 = 500 and 3x - x = 400 you can probably list any variety along the lines of (n)x - (n - 2)x + y = 400 + y so clearly that isn't a finite transfor
