I agree in the sense you want to keep a large circle of contacts and attribute a name to a face quickly.

Why’s it still so darn expensive then?

Do the majority of Americans deserve a raise in the first place? I think a bit of humility might be a good thing to help us rethink our materialistic impulses and desires. This is coming from someone who asked for one, but didn’t receive a

I felt the author’s definition of success in this article was ironically narrow. His thesis is that your success is determined by how well you do perform at your particular job. He also seemed to have some misplaced angst towards management

Well if you have 500 people willing to pay $500 for a course I would call you a celebrity. Not because of the number of followers, but because of the value of those followers.

That actually seems pretty reasonable to me. If cutting hair were easy then barbershops wouldn’t exist right? It’s a perfectly valid trade and I don’t see a problem with enforcing certification.

That was a really interesting read. I embarrassingly have never thought deeply about how marketing or branding works to manipulate the viewer in very subtle ways. I think I’m starting to understand why some serious money is put towards adve

True, but it’s annoying for small investors (gamblers) like me to buy altcoins at the moment. I pay a transaction fee to coinbase to get btc/ltc/etc, then I pay a txn fee to move that to an exchange, then I pay a fee to the excha

Loved myst as a kid. A game I played recently that recreated that sense of wonder and exploration was the Talos Principle. Should definitely try it if you enjoyed the Myst series.

What makes you think that? I don’t think a college degree is strictly necessary to be an intelligent person.

This would be a good product for an exchange like coinbase, but they’re making so much money I don’t think it really matters what they do.

I think a lot of people program at work purely for monetary reasons. For this reason they follow the “it works, ship it” mentality because then they can focus on other tasks to make money from. If a sluggish program makes a million dollars

It did end rather abruptly. Beautiful, but not a great story. Sort of like how I feel about Westworld.

How do you propose we ban them?

Minor point, it’s a cryptocurrency not a currency. I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to government backed currencies because of its novelty and decentralized properties.

I’m probably not as good a programmer as you are, but isn’t using OOP great for making certain types of programs? Think about making a chess game or something.

I thought so too for a long time, but I have met a woman who confused in me that she will not date men if they have an Android phone. I doubt she’s the only one.

I feel like if you’re excited by those things you will have more success running a startup, no?

What about things like games with very well defined rules?

For those of you who are confused like I was, this is referencing a video game, not stomach issues from travel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montezuma's_Revenge_(video_g...

In effect the state received an extra $250 by making this mistake, so there is little incentive for them to fix it.

That is a super risky proposition. It is not so easy to just pack up shop and leave a country. You will have to leave behind most if not all your friends and family. Also, you need to have adequate savings to make that leap, which most peop

You can direct message and do group chats. To set up events you can just message a bunch of people time and place.

The only proven use of blockchain is to transfer value from one person to another over the internet without relying on a central bank account. Doesn’t that validate the tech to some degree?

Perhaps go into work with a different outlook and mindset instead of resorting to the nuclear option immediately. It is easy to forget how degrading the job hunt can be when you have been working comfortably for a while.
