Clickbait, contrived nonsense. If housing is taken care of, the real minimum-viable wage for San Francisco is $35k/year. Anything beyond that is either exorbitant discretional living beyond one's means and/or overpaying. Hous

Whale blubber and mammal livers are high in vitamin c and considering primates lost the function of the GULO (L-gulonolactone oxidase) gene, one could surmise from megafauna extinctions that hunting was essential to most nomadic hominids. A

There's no technical panacea to this undesirable behavior. Sanctions against party elites would be a start by preventing them from banking or traveling freely.

China is far, far worse with the sex ratio being incredibly imbalanced due to the past one child policy. There's a number of documentaries about the craziness and competitiveness of dating in China. People not having sex, not having f

Hedges mentioned that when capitalism is in doubt, the panacea "answer" that often turns into a wedge-issue is whether to replace the previous socioeconomic order with more fascism or more socialism. Anomie and angst get channeled

This doesn't go far enough. As reported by Al Jazeera in 2010, critical structural elements of the 737 NG that were supposed to be CNC'ed were handmade and grossly out-of-spec, leading to at least three deaths when 737 NG's b

People don't seem to get: the world isn't anywhere close to this lie of meritocracy they've been sold. There's a small fraction of society with the right pedigree who don't have to work hard and have everything hand

Regardless of acquisition price point, this is almost always what happens when employees take these third-rate shares. The solution is employees need to insist on the exact same class of shares as founders. Furthermore, more startup workpla

That processor is really old 6th gen and underpowered. I got a faster and newer quad core 8550U in a Lenovo T480 with 9 hours of battery life in dual batteries. Plus, I have a 1 TiB Samsung 970 Pro. Sure, they do better on firmware tracin

Dude ran a drug trafficking platform and allegedly took out six (6) assassination contracts, therefore the dude is a dangerous criminal. Trying to portray him as some "innocent civilian" is patently dishonest. He should rot in pri

Corollary to Dunning-Kruger perhaps: the productive view themselves as inadequate, leading to a number of insecurities, while the boorish liabilities view themselves as masterful, omnipotent polyglots.

It's analogous to police "searching" a homeless person by throwing, tearing up and destroying all of their property without even reasonable suspicion... they do it and get away with murdering people time-after-time because th

There's something to be said for explicitly commuting the least distance (constrained by affordability) and not when everyone else is: 1. less time wasted -> a. more time to be productive in primary pursuits, b. more leisure time an
