I can't for the life of me comprehend how PG manages to write in a style that sounds so lucid, so readable and compelling, and so authoritative, but on a substance that's so factually incorrect that it won't stand to any bit

Good article, both in spirit and factually. One thing to add: the author talks about reviving a system as “slow and difficult process”, and it is. However, the concrete example described is not worthy of hand-wringing of this kind: a system

Ah, so this is not how people doing chemistry refer to different chemical elements in their papers. Given the overall level of imitation, I thought it's that.

Ignoring the content of the paper, could someone comment on this referencing style: Thus, the seed of the xenomorph, the “black goo” (Chemical A0-3959X.91–15) What does "Chemical" refers to here?

No, that person is doing it right. That’s 15 minutes of your life you’ll never get back; no library is worth it.

Oh, did they win the “my shares have vested” lottery? I didn’t know that, honestly. It doesn’t seem like they are living any sort of luxurious lifestyle on that boat.

So the answer to "how did he do it?" is obvious -- it simply wasn't too complex of a task (by modern standards).

You wouldn’t have a job ad link would you? Give me a generic description of any 300K+ position you know of? I will understand whether it’s real. Something like “Business-side director level position on a trading floor in a multinational inv

What is the higher end of Austrian tech market pay, in your view?

£1000/day is still “just” around £250K/year, and at this daily rate you won’t have it easy as a contractor. Highly paid gigs are not as plentiful, are normally shorter, and require very active search and sales work. You always nee

I personally would never even think of denying a poor graduate from trying, however clumsily, to impress the girl he fancies with some unaffordable ring. Bad financial decision? Maybe. Story of beautiful romance? Absolutely.

But surely doing whatever works for you is OK? Some people love "creating memories", some people love to have more "social status", some love $4 wooden rings, some love $40K diamond rings; everyone is different, let all

Your entire digital life could be stolen from you if someone knows your name, address, DOB, and last 4 digits on your card. Attacker can go through e.g. the Gmail password recovery process very convincingly impersonating you.

If your bank leaks data, you would be in so much trouble that thinking about privacy implications of that would be pretty low on your list. That's just your bank. If a global payment processor like Visa would leak data, there probably

Excellent remark. For each "I needed an extra gigabyte of RAM in my computer to do the same thing as six years ago" complaint there is normally a valid reason like this. It's always not exactly the same thing as six years ago
