I've made $12k (4x return) from my ETH investment through Coinbase. Overall the site has worked well, granted I don't trade as frenetically as most crypto speculators.

It doesn't do anything for endurance though. I watched my weightlifter friend struggle to carry a 40 lb pack during a hike with 3,000 ft elevation gain. He looked like he was just dying the whole way, while his biceps bulged through hi

Yes, ambition usually requires sacrifice. I think the odds of really making it are vanishingly small though. It could be like daytrading, where 1% actually succeed and 99% lose a lot of money and sleep. Most people would find those odds ins

There are a lot of small towns that are very livable in the US. Most journalists are in big cities, so you don't hear of them written up, except for the occasional "meth town crisis" piece. I have a climber friend who bought

I stopped caring about this type of ambition porn in my late twenties, and I'm a lot happier for it. I'm a lazy, average guy who will probably have a pretty average life. When I stopped being so "hungry," it opened up a

I asked about this five months ago, and was told my theory was "asinine," and that here was no conspiracy. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13361392#13362425 I'd be curious to hear lancewiggs's views

Really interesting thing is the flat walls on the fuselages. They were done that way for ease of construction, and are not pressurized containers therefore don't suffer from stress singularities at the corners.

My friends started out on Instagram posting simple things about their lives, like a local pond with ducks, or a meal they made at home. Now it's like they only post the really outstanding stuff, adventure/travel or extravagant me

As a guy who's going into ML, I'm worried about AI and products like DataRobot clobbering the market for data scientists. DataRobot gets glowing reviews for automating the setup of dozens of ML models, replacing weeks of effort by

At least in aerospace, the 2,000 hr spec comes up often as a reasonable service life. We could make everything last forever, but that usually means beefier, heavier parts. How much more in fuel per flight hour are you willing to pay for a p

I don't even look at my feed for this reason. I think it kind of offends people though when I meet them and had no idea they went to Yosemite the past weekend. So now before I hang out with someone, I brush up on their feed real quick.

Are you a placard holder in California? Are you ok with people using their dead grandmother's placard to get a disabled spot, making you park at a non-disabled spot far away?

LA Times is writing about a California issue, where disabled spots are uniquely crowded. This is bad for people who are disabled. They truly need these spots but often can't find any available due to abuse. This has been documented ext
