As long as you can learn how to suppress or ignore or never have jealousy, multiple relationships seem strictly better (= more fun) to me than monogamy.

For $10,000 a day you could save 100 lives a day via optimal philanthropy. At a certain amount of money, you might have a moral responsibility to not do exactly what you want to do. http://www.givewell.org/international/top-charities/villa

Ethics are murky. Don't talk about things like this on public forums. Google's watchful AI is always with us and when it finds you it will crush you. In practice, why hire people to rate it 5 stars when you can pay 200 friends of your frien

I've found it to be true that In-n-Out isn't that good on an absolute scale, but it's great for how cheap it is. I can definitely get a better grass fed beef hamburger for $10 (or an even better one made from the ground lamb at the Berkeley

I guess most coders around these parts would rather not develop in PHP which can make attracting talent harder, but from a pure product standpoint PHP is just as good as Python or Ruby as long as it's developed using modern best practices.

Looks like a cool product. Just signed up. Process me? Good luck with the trial cofounder; this should work well.

I read reddit way more than HN these days. But I guess I also don't go to startup networking events in lieu of chilling on the beach in Thailand...

Thanks! I was reading that the switch to generating 25 BTC at a time instead of 50 will happen very soon. Even then, if you were only earning $7/day with a single 5970 rig, the payback period is not that long. It seems obviously worth doing

There's a reason Inception was so popular. It was very easy to follow for just how convoluted it was. The average consumer of Hollywood just can't ever hope to follow Primer, but they followed Inception well enough to debate it, or want to

>I'm guessing that a full DNA scan will be available to the individual consumer for $1000 in about five or six years. Should be faster than that. I'd put even money down at it being available in three years, probably even 2.5 or 2 years

Yes, psychological treatment is almost ridiculously obviously a better thing to do with criminals than lock them in boxes for an extremely long time. The problem is not with the idea, but with changing a system as entrenched as the prison-i

No, I really think Jared Loughner is going to be put to death for his search history. Loughner is obviously insane, but these searches establish legal sanity, which means knowing the difference between right or wrong, or understanding the

Those are indeed the best $20 headphones (and the same drivers are available in all sorts of different form-factors) but they only sound better than the $149 Bose headphones, not anything remotely audiophile quality. I definitely prefer cer

We aren't in a startup bubble, but we're in an investment capital bubble. There is way more investment in startups than is strictly rational. It's a good time to be an entrepreneur.
