My hearing isn't terrible, but in noisy restaurants I have a hard time following conversations. I get tinnitus regularly (not constant) now too. I've listened to a bunch of concerts and nightclubs, but I think its sitting behind t

I love Aldi (And Lidl) The great thing about the lack of choice means the supermarkets are small so its quick and easy to do your whole shop. Its like Costco with sensible sizes.

I still liked that Russian app that lookedup people on social media account from their photo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FindFace . I'm sure it wont be long before that is just normal.

bing pays you rewards, which for me adds up to like $20/yr. I'd hope there would be more competition between search engines so they compete with benefits for users. For most queries google isn't that much better, use DuckDuck

Superficially they didn't add much. On a deeper level nobody really knows. The future could be all Index funds and bots trading historical patterns and could result in poor investment choices which screw up the real economy. The dotcom

The HFT systems are replacing the people who did this manually. eg > At its height back in 2000, the U.S. cash equities trading desk at Goldman Sachs’s New York headquarters employed 600 traders, buying and selling stock on the orders of

I'm starting to think that bottled drinking water is a simpler and more efficient method that getting people to drink tap water. It seems crazy that every drop from the tap is high quality water good enough to drink - when 99.9% of it

Great, but that means that for the "knowing frameworks" box, there is no advantage in hiring an experience dev over a younger one.

As a 40+ yo dev I want to agree with you but: >I've forgotten more frameworks than most coders will ever learn. Forgotten knowledge is worthless > I mostly don't care about programming languages, they're roughly the sa

That would just mean its a zombie company that's going down sooner or later. If making it public makes it fail quicker, that is good thing. Keeping it out of the light and pretending its a good company just prolongs the inevitable.

The problem I have with this advice is that its all based on the last 50 years which have been absolutely incredible returns for investors. You should also read more history of what happened to Japanese property investors in the 90s, Argent

The law around this is so important. When your car hurts someone, who's fault is it? What about if its completely self driving like this one? What if there is a bugfix which you didn't apply? What if a software upgrade causes a cr

I lived with room mates for nearly 20 years. I would have made a lot of money if I bought with them instead of renting, so I can see the benefits of this.

The South Ferry repairs after Sandy was a great example. Pump it out, replace some escalators, redo the walls, put strengthened flood defenses for next time - 1/3 of a Billion dollars? WTF. http://gothamist.com/2017&#x2

I'd like to know if anyone can run and start a new life somewhere else. Is it possible? I suspect Bail is an anachronism in these modern times. 100 years ago you could jump on a train and virtually disappear, never be seen again. Now c

Pretty much what the original article implies - it generates unfair playing field. Its great if you have a healthy and wealthy family, if you're a talented child in a poor or dysfunctional family you'll never get anywhere. By havi

The problem with heat pumps in cold temperatures is that the compressor (outside) unit has to go below the air temperature in order to absorb heat. I'm not sure the difference, but I'd expect it to have to go to -30, -40, -50, at

Hey that looks pretty cool. I bought an old Xeon workstation for $200 off ebay that I think is more flexible. My own rack of blades does sound awesome. :)

I'm going to try this - I really hope its good. I've spent a lot of days trying to get k8s working with a cheap home server. With VMs and docker conflicting networks its a nightmare. Upgrading is worse.

Has anyone ever had problems with Redis? I expect it to always work and it always has. I really like it but am worried I trust it too much now. Please tell me I'm fine to trust single instances!

I hate Starbucks in America. Usually looks like a sh#tty library with people all on laptops. If you want to actually sit, drink coffee and talk there is no space for you. I never go as a result.
