This is tough since I have changed careers three times, but i have found the remote work I do to be highly effective for me. It’s my first software job and I’ve been good about managing my time and delivering successfully. I don’t get micro

So at this point, are we facing a pretty bleak future, regardless of what countries do? I’m already scared about an upcoming water crisis during my lifetime. I can’t imagine what the next generation is going to suffer through.

"Enders Game" for me, I think. By Orson Scott Card. I was in my first couple years of military service when I read that. I can't really say how it changed my outlook on life, other than the fact that I liked how realistic the

Gotta agree. People sometimes underestimate the power of actually getting along with others!

I can’t help but wonder how I would do in these interviews. Honestly, I think I’m a horrible programmer. My current gig is developing an api for a survey app, as well as an environmental sensor data app (which me and my partner built from t

But isn’t 5g really short range? Isn’t there a big problem with the frequency being blocked even by human skin?

I could care less about Facebook, but it’s the only way (easy way) for me to stay in touch with old squad mates, and international friends.

I still use my 6s. I really want to upgrade, but the prices are just bonkers. I haven’t replaced the battery yet. I probably will this year. I’d rather just replace my battery for 60 bucks than buy a new phone for 800...

Well, I’m not sure. I used to do a lot of drawing when I was a kid, but now I do more programming and teaching. I think the exercise is really just to distract me from thinking “go to sleep go to sleep” over and over lol.

I’ve started doing that whenever I have trouble sleeping. I start with a random world, set it to orbit, then make another world, have it orbit the first world, then add a third. I let them all orbit eachother.

I never had a problem using cash to pay for things, including taxis. The biggest problem with taxis is that most drivers don't carry much change, so I always make sure i have a hundred RMB in small bills on me, just in case my phone is

Others have already touched upon a few other points in your argument, but quite frankly, intelligence is not a good metric. And neither is a creature's ability to measure morality. Do we know how a pig measures morals? Do we know how t

I totally get the '0.1%' thought here, the idea being that the majority of this scientific progress will only benefit those how can afford it. Personally, I'd be hoping for more universal advancement. I hope society gets to t

Spoiler warning: I didn’t read the article (can’t access now due to vpn not working) So from reading others comments and such: yeah, I understand the idea that the pigs could be comatose and not experiencing anything. From the science behin

I disagree about quality/availability. In Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China, Thailand; I’ve had amazing health care for the fraction of the price. Shit, a full cancer check only cost me 90 dollars in Japan. Getting my eyes fully checked fo

Yay for China. Too bad 99% of the businesses and people there don’t care.

Well that’s cool, but the wording worries me: public information should be open by default to the public in a machine-readable format, where such publication doesn’t harm privacy or security federal agencies should use evidence when the

I recently opened a Hong Kong company. During the process I’ve seen how easy it can be to change your company name, but there is a company registry number tied to it. I don’t know if that changes too though.

Salaries have been stagnating because companies refuse to raise the salaries, along with ever increasing inflation. Your 100k job was worth less than a dollar back in 1980, due to inflation. Programmers should be making closer to 200-300k p

That's good to hear, but wouldnt the change in frequency lower the speed of 5g? if it's similar to 3/4G, wouldnt that just make 5G as fast as 4G?

I'm kinda surprised how many NSA requests were sent through in the US... compared to China. Why? WTF?

by torgian 8y ago
5G is practically useless in a way, due to its frequency and how your hand could block the signals too.

Cheap thinkpad, throw on some random software, browse with it for a month. That's what I plan to do.

Geez. This is terrible. This just makes me consider using a burner phone and imaging my own laptop before visiting the States after being in China for four years.

The dealership model is so crappy. You can go to a website and order a car, but you’re still directed to a dealer. Like Japan, you go to a dealer, and they don’t even have cars (or a very limited amount as just ‘show cars’). You order them
