Completely agree, especially when the USA has nearly 330 million people! Last year according to credit Suisse, the median wealth of the typical American actually /decreased/! And if I remember correctly, it was by quite a sizeable

Ewwwwwwww lol. That would be like me hopping on my bike, pedaling for hours, which charges up a battery that is attached to it with an inverter, putting it into a carboat, driving onto the water, to get into my seaplane. The original goal w

Why on earth would someone commite to work on a $5,000 road bike when a similar experience could be had on a $500 road bike? Yikes.

This author is hilariously biased. I am not a Tesla fan at all, but Elon did not "get schooled" by Daimler. Daimler claims to have been working on EVs for 100 years. Yet by their own admission, their cars won't be "fully

This actually sounds like a legitimate threat vector. It's a bit like entrapment. You offer something they don't know they want, and then arrest them for interacting with you.

Regardless of this guy's politics, it's weird for someone to die in their sleep at 38. He was arrested on drug charges before, and my subjective impression of his demeanor makes me think he might have been on downers like heroin o

In this article, the government directly accuses Google of deliberately storing data overseas, so that they don't have to comply with certain court orders. How is it a crime to store data internationally? Am I a criminal for storing my

It was flagged because x% of users on this site refuse to have difficult and nuanced conversations about racism and censorship. They ruin it for the rest of us.

If we are talking about legislation to regulate communication platforms that "enable sex trafficking" [needs disambiguation]... ... then why aren't we talking about hotels, where victims are sex trafficked, and cars, where vi

Correct, becomeUnemployed() was what altered lengthOfSleep :) I certainly could have tried to sleep more while I was working, but there really wasn't a way for me to personally achieve that. My boss and company were psycho. Lots of unp

6 hours' sleep = zombified, confused, stressed, steeped in dread 10 hours' sleep = alert, optimistic, sharp, happy And the only variable that changed was lengthOfSleep !

Wow, what an awesome read. This guy spent 40 years of his life going from janitor to branch manager at McDonalds. He saved up 250k, and then Wells Fargo sold him an investment that (somehow) lost 100% of its value in 2008. He and his partne

Arbitrary detaining 50,000 people per year, no right to remain silent, arrest and imprisonment if you refuse an arbitrary search... Yup sounds like I need to avoid the UK too!

I'm unemployed. I sleep 10 hours per day. When I was employed, I slept 6 hours per day. The difference in mood is massive. However, I'm not sure if the working world will change. It's a zero sum game of who is willing to tort

Yes, I do agree. Hiring is biased on aggregate towards people with CS degrees, or at least the ability to do coding puzzles. Shipping + getting shit done surprisingly is not that well respected (on aggregate). What's worse is that he&#

Yeah to echo what zaroth has said, definitely see if you can get on SSDI. It is complex to get a calculated amount, but you deserve the money and I really hope it helps you out. Additionally I can't remember if I hallucinated it, but a

Hahahhaha. Agreed. To get a job at a startup that has received some funding is a bit of a weird dance. PG is all about growth and efficiency and hiring people who get shit done technically, because it's grow or die in this business wor

I wholeheartedly agree. Iceland did it to their bankers. It was a thing of beauty. The financial world lost its collective shit and cut Iceland off from the global credit markets. Iceland doesn't seem to be suffering to me. And their p

I saw this commercial too. Utter lunacy. I am not even surprised anymore- these corporations have the green light to do whatever they want. Only wrist slaps for punishment if they do truly heinous things. Houses wouldn't be so expensiv

Yeah I appreciate all this advice, except for the "beer test". Come on man, I don't like to drink and I am a very nice and professional person. The beer test for social skills is probably worse than whiteboarding obscure algo

Nice. Equifax also has our employment history, our tweets, our salary info, and sells us protection from the risk they create. Love it, man. Pretty soon I won't have a job anywhere because of some erroneous data Equifax reports in thei

Bitcoin is a commodity of value, but WoW gold is not? Subjectively applying the law. I don't understand how you can't see this. Law enforcement and governments don't have unlimited resources. Frivolous crimes should not be pu

Bitcoin wasn't a security in 2014 You can't retroactively apply the law. Well apparently the government acts like they can. But in my (biased) mind they shouldn't.

Child porn is a crime committed via Internet. It is vigorously prosecuted. Identity theft is a crime committed via Internet. It is lazily prosecuted. Stock fraud ("securities" fraud) is a crime that is also vigorously prosecuted.

I did some Googling. WoW gold theft results in Blizzard suggesting you open a support ticket, despite the fact that WoW gold, like bitcoin, has unofficial street value. I will do more digging but I don't know if anyone has gone to the
