College student, it was fun for a year or two and then pretty much everyone gave up on it. The unique commentary was what made it, there was essentially humor that everyone could relate to and the unique perspectives people felt were too un

I want to live in a van, and I want to be sponsored to do it. I see other people saying the lifestyle is vapid, but to be honest everyone I know that has done it has embraced it. There's unique challenges for sure, and making sure that

My only Uber pool experience was when in San Francisco the whole group I was with would all request an uber pool for two people and the people who didn't get the same driver would quit. We accordingly were using it to get cheaper rides

There's traditions around this race, and it's okay if you don't agree with them but not being part of the community that embodies these traditions means you cannot come in and redefine them. Also, no offence, but you clearly

Talk about the freedoms you care about as much as you want, but at the end of the day the people who care about those things are such a small minority it has virtually no effect on the greater market. Yah there's enough of you to suppo

I think the issue is that they're trying to signify how they're innovating rather than what sector the company is in. A better taxonomy would indicate their sector and either be AI powered <sector> or just include their AI p

Ever heard the phrase "Nobody gets fired for buying IBM"? IBM is massive in IT consulting with basically half their revenue coming from the consulting side of their business, and the rest they're a service company in a lot of

I mean every narrative about the invention of CFCs is basically found a great thing, didn't realize the great thing has downsides.

To be honest that kind of scares me. What will happen when VR is commonplace and we are continually using it to escape reality. Not to say we don't do that already, but the gradual degradation of reality is truly quite interesting.

Last I heard of Tilt it was mostly a bunch of people using it to fund large scale parties. Enough people committed, and then boom yup we have the money we'll do it.

That's absurd, I had surgery and couldn't do anything for 3 weeks, once finally cleared my second run I ran a 6:30 mile. How is it that as a society we've devalued physical health so strongly.

I think there is both a good and bad aspect of this quote, you've done a great job highlighting the bad. The good, is in essence that you don't always need to be fully comfortable and in fact will not always be comfortable. I find

An additional detail is also the expansion of the panama canal which allowed more and larger ships to travel through it cutting down the travel time for larger cargo ships eliminating a primary advantage of smaller vessels. However ironical

Question: I've seen a large amount of hype around chat bots, but is there any evidence that "normal" people really use these for anything more than novelty, excluding the realm of Amazon echo et al.

I think the number one obstacle to this is it would be nowhere near viable from the costs perspective. No one really wants to build cargo ships right now, shipping companies are barely staying afloat right now because there is a glut of car

I don't feel particularly convinced by this article, I feel like it misses the bullet by going beyond a reasonable standard. The article is phrased in such a manner that it acts as if typical descriptive statistics are not useful, but

You know there's a certain irony that I would never ever use a modem that I can't turn off the XFinity wifi crap, but I absolutely love having the ability to use other people's XFinity wifi. I pretty much have access to free

Just saw this, but American consumers are more sensitive to import prices than export, because consumers generally do not directly receive the proceeds of exports. Net-net, it'd be hard to say what happens long term in the economy beca

In general, an increasing dollar does not have effects on the real price of domestic goods, but decreases the real price of imports. Because that is no change and increased purchasing, it results in a real increase in purchasing power which

Interstingly this could make sense, because they're selling off all of the Yahoo! assets there is no reason there is no incentive to use Yahoo! mail and in fact they lose the rights to those assets once the sale is completed. Altaba wi

The crappy thing is that while this might be "back in the day", I still have to spend time cooped up in computer lab because software companies make the licenses way too expensive so we have nowhere else to do our homework.
