Not sure what that means. I own a couple classic cars and a house, work 60 hours a month, travel for fun most of the time. Lived in 12 countries in the last 20 years. Have a great girlfriend and a great ex who I get along with. But I don&#x

Yeah, but that's really not the point of opening a bank account for a kid. The point is that saving should become a habit. Seeing a balance grow is satisfying. When you're 12 years old and mowing lawns it's better to put mone

lol. Never saw that. But it totally brought back being dragged into a bank by my Mom and sitting at a desk across from a bank rep and signing forms... I even remember exactly where the desk was in the bank. CalFed. Matt and/or Trey obv

The fact that you're acknowledging that this form of anticapitalism, environmentalism, fear of chemicals and global warming is about a fear of population growth, is extremely telling. You're explicitly saying that the problem wi

I was saving 20% a year when I was making $36k a year and spending $800/mo on an apartment in the tenderloin. In 1997. It's called beans and rice. I'm still saving 20% a year, making $200k a year and owning a house. Yes, you

The other stuff sounds scammy. But what's wrong with setting up savings accounts for your kids? It's a good way to teach them to save money. I was 10 years old or so when my parents set me up a bank account with $100 in it. I saw

Obviously we can improve the world by having laws and customs that reduce wasteful consumption. I was talking about the alternative to a free market system dictated by people's wants, and the alternative to a natural progression of gro

The world is able to sustain billions more people than was thought to be the upward limit in the 1960s. The Malthusian idea that we would all starve when population reached 5 billion was proven wrong by that fast-growing rice and a lot of o

Slinging blame is usually not the same as cause-finding. But saying that someone is slinging blame in a blatantly meaningless and uneducated way is not, uh, related to Luddism at all. Do a quick Wikipedia search of what Luddism was, and you

That sounds like a lot of generic, hand-wavey hot takes about why the world is a mess that are taught in higher ed. Here's a take: The world was a mess when drought led to the collapse of the Mayan empire. It was a mess when foreign in

I went to Art Center for film. Loved it. But ended up writing software instead of shooting movies (while still also handling a lot of visual art direction, graphics work, UI, 3D animation, etc). Now I feel like we're starting to be rou

How do these things, whose sole purpose is to turn heat into electricity, end up with so much extra heat that it takes more energy than they produce to disperse it? Can't the excess heat in a closed loop system be captured and used to

It's not even that it's hard to build a modern account system. It's that if you put your site behind a private / custom account system, and you post a link to it on HN (for example), everyone and their mother complains t

Heh. Like 10 years ago I was designing retail stores for a company expanding their franchises. Each location had to be a bit different, depending on the quirks of the building they were leasing. I was doing the 3D layouts of the interiors,

I used to think the same way, until I became friends with a Tibetan who smuggles himself in and out of Tibet to help villagers resist China's genocide and colonization there. We were both living in a third country in Asia right when Sn

Other posters' comments about saints slotting into the places of pagan deities are right. But even more fundamentally, from a Jewish (or, in fact, Muslim) perspective, the Trinity is a form of polytheism, and depictions of Jesus amount

No. I mean, I don't allow appliances onto my network. I have a dumb TV. Apart from a Roku with some netflix credentials, only my phone and my laptop have any software that's logged into my tailnet, vpn, bank accounts, email, etc.

I see the same things you see, but I contend that the causes are reversed. I think Trump's election, and subsequent dismantling of our institutions and safeguards, was a direct result of our country losing a war. It began as an informa

I wonder if this has anything to do with the cf bug that stripped all POST data from requests to a SPA I manage for 4-5 hours last week. That was a real good time, figuring out that it wasn't trying to show challenges or anything. Defa

I think that's precisely what they're saying. It shouldn't be a surprise that it's successful. Eliza proved the same thing 35 years ago.
