Hmm, I see 3 Dropbox processes two take less than 1MB and one takes 62MB of memory. Not saying Dropbox is super light but it is not too heavy. Does Dropbox memory usage grow with storage? Asking because I am only using 5GB of storage.

What is their longevity though? I could not find it anywhere in the BBC article. Healthy heart is nice and does bring quality of life, but what is their life expectancy?

I loved A-Train, it was a great alternative to SimCity and Settlers (two other of my favorites in the early 90s not to mention Civ) I do seem to remember that it was relatively easy to make a killing in the stock market/real estate dev

Didn't Kurzweil originally say that Singularity could/would happen around 2010? The cynic in me says that 2029 is still within bounds where Kurzweil can still participate. He would be 81 then. The guy is a brilliant polymath but I

Really nice landing page! Curious, how many of these buyers have some sort of corporate backing, ie businesses buying it for their employees? I was very sceptical at first to see people paying $100+ to learn how refactor their PHP code into

If you plan on translating or writing in another language beware of KDP! Time for my annual rant on KDP and Amazon not caring about writers in non-English. The list of supported languages is incredibly limited: https://kdp.amazon

Fantastic list of mistakes! It made realize that I've made all of these mistakes on tasks similar in complexity of Fizzbuzz. I write a lot of scripts in different languages some of them quite domain specific. Why do I make mistakes? Mo

The problem is that eating well and in reasonable amounts does not offer much. It is like that old joke about taking cold shower every morning for 100 years. You know that cheesecake is not very good for you, but what is the alternative? Yo

In a way it is refreshing. SNAP is coming out immediately and saying you are not going to have ANY say in how SNAP is being ran. Facebook, Google and others have shown that general investing public does not care about having voting rights.

Article is not quite clear but it appears it was $345K in sales not net. The guy's edge is marketing which has been always been the great differentiator. Of course, it could be just luck as there must be thousands of people attempting

You do have a point, shipping 50lbs of pet food for free was not sustainable for pets.com in 2000 but one could hardly fault customers for taking advantage of such foolishness. Let's set aside any moral/ethical implications of ab&

This hyperproductivity might only be advisable in small doses and only when one is young (under 30 if not under 25) Then it has a small chance of leading to some "greater" utilitarian good (ie you become next Elon Musk) As I get o

It is easy to advise from the sidelines but I too think the author should be looking outside the comfort zone. He should broaden his skillset while looking to sharpen those skills that are in demand. Also I would look into some hobbies that

Even those shareholders buying the lesser class stock at IPO had certain rights. The whole point of the lawsuit is that certain shareholder rights were violated by board's actions.

Unfortunately, this lack of regard for minority shareholders seems the norm these days. Google is a similar offender. Let's not even mention what happens when you buy Alibaba shares, whatever you own is not Alibaba. The problem arises

Doesn't it sound more like some sort of fatalistic nihilistic hedonism? Nothing matters so just do the short term things that bring pleasure, or do long term things, nothing really matters (including the fact that nothing matters). Eri
