For anyone interested in trying kava recreationally (or really any new psychoactive drug), I highly recommend you read up on Erowid before partaking in consumption. Erowid is an amazing repository of knowledge, from scientific articles to d

So would you stop if it were a “bad” career choice? That seems just as disingenuous as you’re insinuating your colleagues to be in switching to CS. And anecdotally, having went to CMU, everyone I knew switched to CS or moved CS adjacent - a

I’m likely not as, but kids in undergrad still “finger”ed people at my school as late as 2016. Can’t say anything about after that though :)

You do realize WeWork doesn't have a monopoly on shared office spaces? In fact, they aren't even the biggest player in the space - Regus is.

Asahi has been doing this for years with their Super Dry Extra Cold (-2°C≈27°F). Might not have caught on in the states, but I grabbed one of these as early as 2016 in an Asahi brewery in Japan.

This is why I'm a proponent of genetically modified organisms in agriculture. The world needs to be fed and needs to be fed properly, and it is pure privilege to deny use of tools in our toolbox that abet solutions to global hunger. I

I don't understand why I can't mute certain people or group DMs when I can mute channels. Sometimes I need push notifications if I'm messaged from a specific person, but can't/don't want to be bothered by other

I can’t imagine the pivot to alt-right conservative pundit is all that profitable. Going off the fact that he’s not a public figure at Google and the anecdotal data that any two (or 32) bit engineer will tell you that “tech is dangerous” -

You may be surprised to hear that it actually is the case that retail stores are very much in the business of selling shelf space (at least in the United States - I cannot say for the EU). It is known as a "slotting fee" and manuf

Interesting to hear. I've heard the opposite in that in dry counties in the US the incidence of alcohol related driving accidents is 3x that of wet counties. A quick look at the Wikipedia[0] article corroborates this. [0] https:/

Tell that to Daniel Shaver, who when shouted at by police to perform conflicting commands by multiple police while begging for his life, was executed in cold blood. I'm sorry, but that is a frighteningly naive stance to take and must c

"Be yourself" as advice is bad advice if you take it uncharitably. It's good advice for individuals that repress their identities and discard their own happiness - e.g. gay men and women that force themselves to act straight

I'm unsure as to what counterpoint you are trying to make. If you were implying that I thought anyone could manage to be financially comfortable in the Bay Area, that is patently false. To respond your apparent reading of my comment, t
