Fine, but those people are not going to be getting another loan any time soon.

You can get a nice two bedroom 20 minutes from downtown Austin for ~$600k. You can get in on the ground floor and be part of the NIMBY block in 15 years when nobody can afford to live here anymore! :)

We already tried housing projects, it didn't turn out well.

My parents are divorced and both moved to separate cities away from the coast when they retired (Mom went to Illinois, Dad's in the Cascade Mountains). The move hasn't been terribly good or bad for either of them (although my dad

It's also display quality. If you're doing design work you can use a MacBook pro and be pretty sure that the color is accurate with no calibration. If you switch platforms you have to sort out the enterprise and gaming displays, w

Seriously? It was $6000 a month ago... to me this is firmly in the fucking crazy stage. It feels a lot like the last run up to $1,100 before the 80% drop (I cashed out at $1,000 just before the pop by dumb luck, but failed to buy back in).

Apparently you have to have the password field focused before you submit. Anything in the password field (including nothing) will be saved as the root password.

That was my first thought. Based on some bounty reports I've seen recently I would assume at least high five figures.

How is market overvaluation calculated? And is public debt an absolute measure or is it relative to another indicator?

It occurs to me that economics today is roughly at the same level of development medicine was circa 1500CE.

Ah, yeah I was thinking more generally than VR. The R&D efforts at Oculus to reduce latency from GPU to viewport indicate that network rendering isn't going to work unless you anticipate and buffer the set of every frame the user c

You're right. Obviously I've never given this subject much thought. :)

I think this is one of those things that nobody expects that will be obvious in hindsight. Offloading rendering and game logic/AI to a massively parallel server network will allow MMOGs to break new ground in world complexity and persi

There's a fine line between tool and toy and I often find myself on the wrong side.

Isn't that the case for all industries? How many of the battery technologies currently being researched will be commercially available in the next 10 years?

I'm under the impression that it works like this: I make $100,000 this year, donate $20,000 to charity, pay taxes on $80,000 in income. Is this not accurate? My understanding is that it can save you money if you're just over the b

Just to clarify, you're saying that Vyvanse doesn't have the potentially neurotoxic effects that Adderall has? My doctor prescribed me Vyvanse and anecdotally it seems to be the preferred treatment for ADD these days.

You'll have to do a lot of independent research but a good place to start unraveling the thread is the darknet markets subreddit.

I'm only using opiates as an example. In my experience no psychoactive drug has the exact same effect on different people.

Back in the MtGox days I had 100 BTC... I spent it on an ounce of hash, then my brother smoked it all. My fuck you money, up in smoke. :)

My google-fu is failing but there is a famous case where an obese (scottish?) man didn't eat anything except vitamins for an entire year and didn't suffer any significant health effects.

You're getting downvoted but when I do psychedelics I take a small dose of opiates to ensure it doesn't spiral into fear and paranoia. If the goal of theraputic use of psychedelics is to create a deeply seated positive experience,

When I was a teenager my friends and I took LSD one night and one of the group took twice as much as everyone else and had a full blown psychotic episode, running around the house breaking things and screaming that he was going to kill me.

The problem is you usually don't know if a game sucks until you spend $60 on it. The younger gamers who are more likely to participate in mob action can't afford to waste $60 on a shitty game. If someone takes your money for a pro

Just as a counter anecdote, I'm a heavy youtube watcher and I haven't had any issues with high res video playback on osx 10.12.

I personally don't think partisan propaganda is the big problem. The problem is the content farms that will write completely fabricated news articles designed to outrage/reinforce certain political views for eyeballs. The former i

Sorry to go OT, but ten years ago we needed five guys and a truck to move my friend's $2000 55" rear-projection TV. It weighed as much as a small piano and we almost dropped it off the deck. I just got a 55" 4k LED TV for $40
