I think these are really inflated. I've got 5 kids, my wife doesn't work, and our expenses in the categories above are: $150/month for day care or camps or lessons or whatever... $500/month for health insurance for fami

I really want to help you here, but I'm not sure why I would hire you. As others have said, one of the first things that struck me was your age is irrelevant and your nationality only matters if you've made the case for yourself

Ah, sorry for the lack of clarity. My point is that many people who refer to themselves as Christians don't actually follow Christ. The flaw I was pointing out was that it seems natural (and even polite) to merely accept a person&#x2

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted here. This a legitimate case of the problem of induction, "the glory of science and the scandal of philosophy" [1]. That said, it seems like the flaw in your reasoning (and ch4s

Well for starters the Apostle Paul wrote the 2nd Thessalonian letter condemning this very attitude. Hence, in my experience, comments like this are generally offered by (1) nominal Christians who don't seem familiar with what Jesus an

Great work! Really excited to see something that's easy, pretty, and open source. All the alternatives mentioned here are lacking at least one of those areas. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like really solid work on the math end, with good explanations. If I may, the profanity seems gratuitous, however. Also, since a book recommendation is in part a reflection of the reader, it would be difficult to recommend this text

Agreed. My wife and I have 5 kids. One thing our friends with 1 or 2 kids will never understand: we can't possibly keep an eye on all of them all the time. The reality is, the kids have ample opportunity for dangerous accidents.

I'm not sure these cases are parallel, though. The article is discussing "America's most innovative companies", meaning the behemoths: Apple, Bell, IBM, etc. I haven't read the book, but from poking around on Ama

Exactly. And Amazon doesn't even have to reach all of its customers. They can target high density areas, and use traditional shippers to deliver the rest.

I hope you realize that your statement is absolutely loaded with philosophical undertones. A few examples: - Is being deluded bad? If so, what is it that makes being deluded bad? You might say "Oh come on! Of course it's bad

Agreed. Another possible factor: 15 years ago, most states had full licenses at 16 years old. Now, most states have restricted licenses, that "graduate" into unrestricted licenses by 17 or 18 years old (21 in the case of Maine)

Whoa. You significantly broadened the scope of my comment from "their post" to "any lie". In this case, the post is about the company's revenue stream (or lack thereof), as it pertains to money-for-better-reviews.

This has been debunked more than a few times, by the way. There's even a Harvard Business School study on the matter. [1] And a decent overview of the situation here: [2]. Yelp has also unequivocally denied the extortion charge [3].

This doesn't really address the core issue, though. The anthropic principle may tell us why we're capable of observing the universe, but it doesn't tell us why there is something to observe (instead of nothing), and why the

It seems like this still conflates the quality of a person (objective) with the quality of one's music taste (subjective). Your example of quality (moral and rational, I assume) people loving Stockhausen and you not loving it informing
