   Especially when the masses enjoy justin bieber, and the olive garden.

   Sounds like you have that citation already on hand. Give me that list of many people doing the equivalent of sending people to Mars, changing the auto industry, and building an alternative energy empire.

   There are only a few people per century at the level of Elon Musk. This isn't the same discussion.

   Boy am I glad I stayed in Upstate, NY. Stress free, five minute commute, little traffic, low cost of living, fall weather, fingerlakes, Adirondacks, no earthquakes/hurricanes/firestorms/tornadoes, and great food. Of course, n

   No, that's a fact. No one on their death bed has wished they worked more. They wished they spent more time with family/friends/traveling/vacations/reading/sports/whatever. Working until you died is what sl

   Sure, but my statement stands. Life is about balance.

   Someone from our office just died over the weekend, we all found out about an hour ago. They were the type of person that essentially spent their waking hours working for this company. Crack of dawn up, and last to leave, working after hour

    Because people funding these companies are out for themselves, not the greater good. They don't care if some new device or app is going to change the world. They only care if it will make them rich. That's the problem. There isn&#

    This is the way I've always done it as well, and super easy to implement. For example. router.get('/article/:article_shortid*?',function(req,res){ }); catches /article/28424824/this-is-my-article, and

    That PB&J coding lesson has been used forever. It's a good learning tool.

    Yeh, the "front page of the internet" is basically just pop culture. All of the trash that appeals to the masses.

    Instagram is tolerable, and it makes me money. But the amount of bullshit bots needs to stop, immediately. All of the garbage "aggregator" accounts that do nothing but steal everyone's work need to stop.

    Irrelevant. Reddit is not something I need in my life. Sure I'll use it as a reference, linked in from google searches. But that's my extent.

    HN is a bit different scenario, most of us are here to discuss business and learn. Being text only also removes the fear of missing out, anxiety shit you get from people showing all the best moments of their lives.

    Same, Reddit was the big one. Facebook happened years ago. Twitter gone. LinkedIN is just garbage. All useless wastes of time. HN is the only community I actively participate in for personal. Instagram is business only.

    I don't see how Uber is considered "too big to fail". They aren't the banking system, they are a ride hailing app. If they go away, people go back to using cabs.

    Where does it say most people are not smokers? "Overall, the chance that a man will develop lung cancer in his lifetime is about 1 in 14; for a woman, the risk is about 1 in 17. These numbers include both smokers and non-smokers. For s

    I ran into this adding an external disk. You just need to initialize with the prompt, and then close and reopen the disk utility, it will show up.

    Correct, it's irrelevant. The scale of the universe, and where it came from, is already beyond our comprehension. We might as well just be living in a computer simulation, because ANY explanation would make just as much sense to us.

    8 hours minimum, anything less than that I feel like crap. I also NEVER get sick. Ever.
