I didn't mean we never had violent criminals.. Just that liquidating journalists and lawyers doesn't fit their usual mo.

Too bad he did a lot of good things I believe. Those gangsters that shot him they are a phenomenon that's relatively new. Criminals did not previously go after lawyers or journalists. Now that has definitely changed.

The fact is you did not short anything but you bought a put option. Even if I agree with you on bitcoin having an intrinsic value less than that of toilet paper, these reasons would have been true before the recent high point too. Instead,

I was offended because of the male adjective. If they had said European explorers that would have been normal but the gender of the European explorers seems to not be very relevant and included only for political signalling reasons.

"beyond the accounts of European male explorers that usually predominate." Here I was reading a fun account about Polynesian Antarctic seafaring and then that happens.

Case on aerodynamics is weak. I realize their analysis might make sense for extreme endurance events, but they don't generalize to road cycling. They did not test at common race speeds for cyclists. It's 5 watt at 30km/h. Tha

I agree with him, but more on philosophical grounds. The idea of crypto is to make taxation impossible and government irrelevant. If democracy is to be preserved, this obviously cannot happen. Therefore government has to fight back.

I highly doubt they will sell any at that price. It's more than some people make in an hour, working. It's not quite sane and shows a backwards mindset. why would an autonomous car even need a steering wheel?

I don't think shaming people for doing what's in their best interest is ultimately progress. I smell a lot of vitriol in the article. I would never read Mr Feriss, because I think it's just a fad. Realistically if you work 4

Thanks for explaining how refunds work on Amazon. Ive been using them a lot lately

Article is paywalled, so I'm guessing very few of the commenters will have actually read it.

Maybe go for a weekend in the mountains. Take a book (fiction) and see whether you like that. Leave the cell at home. I personally never had this problem. I only do overtime to please the boss sometimes, not for myself.

Affirmative action is a Western attempt to help previously discriminated against groups through re-introduction of institutional discrimination. I don't like to use the term because i don't want to promote institutional discrimina

I grew up with the values that discrimination is wrong no matter the gender. Normally it's guys that get discriminated against in this highly institutionalised manner. At least in the West. Japan and the third world are a different sto

Not (just) those. The Constitution has two articles (93, 94) that say treaties from 'people rights' institutions (like the UN, I guess) are legally binding and supersede national law of there is a conflict.

sounds so logical. but i dont think it works that way, in NL at least. international agreements are considered legally binding, just like laws are or perhaps they even supersede them. the court might therefore hold a company or individual

The problem with neovim is that it's often not available on corporate environments whereas vim usually is. But nice work anyways

I don't really understand what Siemens wants with SaaS or indie hardware creation et cetera. I know they do both heavy industry and some consumer electronics. I don't really see the synergy here. Maybe they are just looking for id

This isn't welfare, you know. Perhaps live in a country that has it to learn what it is. It serves the purpose of not letting people starve. It's not about this kind of decadence.

These kinds of things make me angry. Lots of good French workers paid for those passes and will not get to enjoy the benefits because they aren't 18. I'd say if my country ever does this I will migrate to a worse place. Except tha

Well if you know to do stuff like bake an egg there's are numerous recipes out there on YouTube & the rest of the web that are superior to what ~80% of people make.

Nvidia sells toys for gamers. Expensive toys, sure. But crypto is for people wanting to convert graphics cards into serious money. Nvidia would probably want to extract a majority of the profits of such customers if it can, because it'

sportsmanlike is when you lose by a hair, you congratulate the winner and don't feel too bad about it. What you're suggesting is a test of competence, not a race.

Of course calibre has legal uses too. Certainly books like War and Peace and other classics are still relevant today, however they are the exception, rather than the rule.

I literally stated 'or the few sites that don't do ERP'. Of course calibre does have legal use cases. Playing with (I think) O'Reilly ebooks and project Gutenberg being some of them. I did not mean to imply it has no leg

Nice if you're into downloading ebooks illegally or from the few sites that don't do ERP. I used to use it too. However since graduating college and starting to make money I didn't download anything anymore due to lack of tim

Just people being people. At college I used to be part of a cycling club. We went on camp twice a year. We went cycling during the day then we were tired and went to bed so we'd be good the next day. No of course not. We played games d
