Irresponsible disclosure is releasing products and services with flaws like these onto the open market - the rest is corporate doublespeak.

I think I was sorely misunderstood ...the point is to not spend on what you don't need - whether that's 15% of your income, or 80%, it was there to illustrate just that. When I started working at 18, my living expenses could'

We are at roughly the same compensation. If you save 60k a year vs 120k a year, the time it takes to own a house is cut in half, the rent and interest bleed stops twice as fast. Now you're saving 180k a year by reducing bleed even thou

Because when I moved to America at 16 and had nothing, and was homeless so I could pay for college, I didn't give care about how I looked relative to others. And if I spent my money impulsively or even worse cared about impressing anyo

Cheapest rent is about $1,800/mo in my area (California, eh) - my car is by far the worse one around. To me, it's about what trajectory you funnel your income in to generate wealth - tangible, liquid, appreciating assets as well a

Why is this a thing? My total, all-encompassing expenses are less than 15% of my income annually and I have zero debt. I rent a modest apartment because I am in my 20s & the loss on rent is, for now, less than the would-be loss of prope

To classify mutation as "artificial" or "natural" is a fool's errand. Nature makes mistakes all the time, just like us humans - the only difference is we don't have hundreds of millions of years to even ours ou

I said nothing of Western history and am familiar with the subject. Also, this is completely unrelated to my point so you will receive no further responses on it.

Bias: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. If a data set is flawed, it should be fixed, but when ML finds objective patterns our culture finds subjecti

If it took you three billion dollars and five years to conceptualize an apple that cured something, and suddenly it was commonwealth, nobody would look for apples that cured something, and we'd go back to the dark ages. Ideologies must

This isn't true. Their own government created the pre-requisite conditions for this, and then their parents acted on those by breaking the law. If you are an insane or mentally incapable parent, your kids will be, essentially 'put

There is so much armchair theory and bullshit surrounding economics (especially in the news) that it's hard to tell what's valid anymore.

For clarification: Monopolies can result from anti-competitive practices, or an overwhelming competitive advantage. Talking about the latter here The 'anti-trust' and 'monopoly' arguments strike me as hypocritical and se

These are essentially 'super-technologies', much like government-requested back doors and master keys. It's not an overstatement to say that the potential they hold is on par with human genetic engineering - something the civ

That's cryptography at scale in a nutshell, thus far it seems to be a fair enough countermeasure. Cryptography on an individual item with an unknown cipher/salt/hash can be treated as security via entropy - but with a big eno

The best part of an emergent global economy is that any single government can only over-reach so much before the country's GDP plummets in the global ranking, leading to revolution or collapse.

Personally, yes. Like many posters here I am an Engineer not in the medical field, so take my opinion with a grain (read: mound) of salt. Most "free" healthcare systems have either (1) horrible quality of service or (2) impossibly

Prices will not plummet due to oversupply, they will increase as demand decreases to increase profitability. Electricity prices reflect only one thing: how high they can be while still being "affordable". Even now, in most major c

It took the death of someone catering to diversity, women and minorities to even bring this subject into any measure of media spotlight. When you classify issues into "trendy" and "real", the disproportionate focus distr
