I agree with you. I suppose if peoples' goals don't include marriage and they are happy then what exactly is the problem? Saying these people fail because they don't get married feels like imposing a certain viewpoint on othe

This is what I felt as well. It just feels silly to rank people and tries to distill your relationships into a black-and-white that doesn't really match the greyness of the world. I would be upset if my partner wanted me to pick them o

I think you're just over-analyzing the words a bit. When I hear someone say "seldom duplicated elsewhere" I don't think they're convinced it's unique all throughout the world. They know there are millions of ot

It's really telling how simply he glosses over saying that like it's a perfectly normal thing for a "journalist" to do. That's pretty depressing.

Movies already depict illegal activity. But I assume you're implying child pornography.

You're not alone. Our experiences are similar. I'm not sure if that's comforting or not. The one saving grace for me is I do have enough savings to get me through a depression. I know that's not a luxury for everyone, th

It's great too -- spiked out a CLI using it in my last company. It was really easy to set up and program in.

This looks cool. As someone who just keeps this info as tabs in their phone browser that I may stumble upon randomly in the future it really speaks to me. One issue I have with data dumps like this is keeping them from getting bloated. Say

I'd say the alternative is cloth reusable bags rather than paper. It's what I use. It's stronger and easier to handle than plastic; you just need to remember to bring one with you. My partner keeps one in her bag permanently

Double-entry is recording the credits and debits in a column and each account change happens on a row. So if I change the ledger in my parent comment to double entry it would look like: | account_id | credit_amount | debit_amount | | 1 | 0

Not sure I follow: you're claiming that double entry forces you to write things with better transactions in mind but the only difference between the two is having 1 vs. 2 rows. Say we have a hotel reservation system, it looks like this

This is just the ledger table. In your case you would have a payment event table with one row and a join table that connects that event with all the ledger rows. That's what Airbnb seems to do: https://medium.com/airbnb

I still don't understand why they encourage double-entry accounting for tech. In my experience entries like: | amount | payer_id | payee_id | | 100 | 1 | 2 | are more than sufficient. He uses Square, Uber, and Airbnb a

Hard disagree. This makes the assumption that this person can not put on any other hats, which would make me question how they got into a startup in the first place. I can see your point in the case where the person does nothing already, le

Considering that the developer is saying "not for production" but the users are saying it works great in production, I'd say the comparison should be "unknown competence > unknown incompetence"

That's been my takeaway from these games, too. It really helped with my perfectionism because it makes the negative effects of it tangible; you notice how much more time you lose by trying to be perfect rather than just getting your su

It's just a theoretical value that philosopher's use to avoid the subjectivity of utility when making an argument. They are well aware it's subjective, but the subjectivity of utility is agreed upon and not of interest in the
