I've always had what you might call severe insomnia. I rarely sleep for more than four hours, and I've found I do pretty well on two. As far as I know I've never slept eight without either being up 2-3 nights beforehand or be

I think you've got the wrong approach. Sleep is a waste of time! If you can't sleep count your blessings and do something productive.

I strongly reject Louis CK's assessment. I don't believe there has ever been anyone who has reconsidered murder because of the law. If anything the law protects the murderer - without it, retaliation would be far more appealing.

Just assume that everyone 'from the audience' who participates in any kind of magic is a shill. No matter if it is on TV, at a party, in a restaurant, or in the street.

I think - I hope - that downloading a show you already own on BD is legal. I buy the DVD/BD's but I only watch shows I have downloaded. It is just more convenient, I hate fussing with DVDs.

"In theory, with appropriate targeting, I should see stuff that I'm actually interested in, or care about." It would be nice if we had the power to veto certain advertisements.

I wonder what would happen if the situation had been reversed, and the USA President was sitting in the 'hijacked' plane.

Apply for jobs in other cities, or alternatively just ask your founder? There's less weirdness if he knows where you stand. Also he seems to know a lot of people who are hiring, so if he can recommend you then that might make it easier

Once you have a pick that can follow the curves like the key, picking it should be just as simple as any other lock. You certainly couldn't make the pick out of street-cleaner bristles! It isn't clear if you could do that with som

"Should an AI have similar rights by proxy as a pet dog?" I think so, when valued in the same way by a human. This is no different to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8465088
