Maybe some sort of small fission power plant. Gundam is the only answer.

Lots of things, it turns out. A mortgage is financial leverage. You only have x dollars but you spend x * n dollars and repay x * n plus interest later. This works out for you if the value of the money you are spending now is more than the

To some extent it’s about inconvenience, right? Having limited time and not being special (as in connected inextricably to everything else but being not unique or important), really changes ethical considerations, many of which are the basi

Yes, I think anything that “sounds like” science but is pretty clearly not measurable or verifiable gets treated with harsh ridicule. This is really a very different philosophical take on our own self importance in the universe. In western

And terrible UX was a feature to some extent. The people who got through it put in some effort to do so, so it filtered out a lot of low effort people. (Think about all the garbage on reddit, facebook, twitter). Average users aren't ne

You can get a PhD in that subject.

I mean, it’s like asking someone “How are you?” And them going into detail about their spastic colon. In a interview you’re trying to paint the best possible picture of yourself, anything that detracts from that is wasted effort. Why would

Obviously not, but charges associated with 'hacking' could lead to jail time. Rumors have a way of becoming problems when the wrong people get wind of them. Lawyering up is the smart thing to do (at very least a consultation).

Announcing that they're so incompetent that they failed to revoke a former employee's credentials is pretty dense. Talking to lawyers is the right thing to do. You don't want this gossip to become a legal issue for you. Colle

Programming is a lot less science and a lot more art. You're trying to describe a problem in a way that can be easily interpreted by both an irrational human, and a computer, a creature of pure logic. If you write for just the computer

You also have to imagine that India and China have increasing quality of life, more demand for their own software and (eventually) higher salaries.

I feel that this is a disingenuous approach to the situation that the parents have put their children in. They put a very positive spin on having spent the money that should have gone to their child’s college tuition. Braces are a cliche, a

Americans tend to go into massive medical debt, still they can have that credit extended to them because over their careers they’ll make more than 84,000 and probably pay it off if they live. Collecting part of that amount is still profitab

Well, it is discriminatory pricing. If someone isn’t saying it is too expensive you haven’t priced the product aggressively enough. In the US market the profit was maximized at 100k, in other markets the profit is maximized at a lower price

It’s priced based on ability to pay. US it will be 100,000 other countries it will be less.

Well, if you want to be meaninglessly pedantic about it. But in common use it just means to receive an injurious electric shock, nowadays.

Seems about right to me, this stinks of whatever the non-profit version of regulatory capture is. I wonder how hard it would be to make a parallel ICANN. I guess this is naiive, but how can a non profit sell itself to a for-profit, it seems

I wonder how much concrete a 10 trillion dollar levy solution will use, and how much that concrete will increase global warming.

Oil usage has an inherent societal cost. Exxon knew about the cost and suppressed that knowledge, much in the way big tobacco did. If we had known, we may have not allowed them to externalize that societal cost so aggressively or required t

No, this article is entirely about blind luck. None of the things you describe matter. There are plenty of prepared, hustlers who can capitalize on lucky events. For every one of them that becomes mega-rich, there are thousands who are exac

Oh, okay. I can't speak to that specifically, that seems like an unethical healthcare provider if they're genuinely performing unnecessary procedures. They should probably be reported to the state medical board. I think there is a

25 year olds have fewer health problems that need treatment than 80 year olds.

This sounds like an ignorant view of getting proper healthcare. There are more things to check because older people have more medical problems, therefore more tests, more treatments, etc. We would have to see what would happen if you gave a

False dichotomy. The government doesn’t have to be in unilateral control for us to admit that citizens would have a very difficult time fighting the extremely well funded and trained military. (For the most part, they wouldn’t need to anywa
