I think this obsessive desire to have to have the best, or biggest, or most of everything is a problem. While the ROI is good there are cities that bring a more balanced plate to the table compared to the valley's extremely high barrie

>Well, what's stopping men from deadlifting 800lbs? In a lot of cases, time and value. My brother has a squat of 500 and some change, and a 405 DL, but it's not worth it to him to improve those much further. He's foremost

It's not society and nurture stopping a woman from deadlifting 800lbs, or a man from breastfeeding. Humans are a sexually dimorphic species. My girlfriend and I were just talking about how it's pretty unfortunate that there are ba

Interpol wasn't involved, they literally just passed the info along to local QC law enforcement. This ended up being a thing that dragged on for several months for the Canadian. You are probably right though on the American friend, swa

You are naive, and spreading dangerous infromation. I had a friend whose house got swatted a couple of years ago after another friend sent him money via paypal with the desc "thanks for the guns and drugs". The other friend, Canad

American corporations have only been powerhouses capable of dominating the policy aspect of public life for 95-110 years. I know it seems pedantic, but it's annoying to watch people rewrite history. The industrial revolution weakened t

I was sort of with the author until I got to the recommended policy change they want to see from legislators: "We should abolish all tax advantaged savings accounts. If the $158 billion in savings were then distributed evenly, every ho

This is the experiment in question, for those curious: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_17/exp... The article outlines some of the details as well, but it was lacking in depth, which

The lessons learned section of the article hints at orgs being way too permissive or unresponsive when bad behavior occurs. The thing is though, this isn't a world where that kind of softness and leniency makes any sort of sense.

There are quite a few lead designers in the industry with this reputation. I've heard a couple of stories about Cage in particular, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

As Kolpa said, your core hours mean a lot of mandatory overtime. Why would anyone want to work under these conditions?

Hey Craig, I appreciate the hard work! Is there any way to demo this service for free, or any plans to in the future? The $10 isn't a big hit or anything, but I, as well as many others, I'm sure prefer to try a service before hand

Liberty is good too, although it's more civ dependent, and is basically a "win more" button for civs like Russia who can manage to get an aggressive start. Honor is also useful as a "I'm right next door to Mongolia

Do you know if there are any US branches that aren't pushing the religious angle anymore? My mentor tried to encourage me to join when I was younger (I was a carpenter's assistant), but I rejected it out of hand due to the religio

4chan is nothing but conversations. They can span 7 minutes or 7 months depending on the board and the topic, but they otherwise work exactly like forums where the order is determined by post bumping. Try hanging out around a slower board l

Not to mention the social shaming of people trying to sell things is always pretty scathing on forums. In general they tended to promote good content by liberal application of both the carrot and the stick. No one wants their product associ

I find myself surprisingly agreeing with this article. The "everyone's voice begins to sound the same" aspect of it is something I hadn't even considered, and does feel a little bit unnerving to me. Maybe unnerving isn&#

It depends on what you measure. Crashes are going up ever so slightly vs population growth, but fatalities per crash has astoundingly been reduced by about 70%, which is to say that you were more than 3x as likely to die in crash in 1980 vs

Nope, almost everyone has the files and the feed posted on blubrry, podbean, libsyn, or soundcloud, depending on your needs. While owning your own stack is nice, the benefits of an outside service almost always outweigh the cons. Blberry is

You don't download podcasts through iTunes, and iTunes doesn't host any podcast. When you register your podcast with iTunes, they direct users to your RSS feed via their client.

It's better than most karate, but Japan's martial culture has actually been fairly average since the fall of imperial Japan. Granted, they aren't china, but he's right in that the culture softened an incredible amount fo

Assuming you work 80,000 hours in your career: 80000 (.0000000000001/100) 60*60 = 2.88e-7 seconds spent in nano in your lifetime [ I know it's an exaggeration :^) ]

I scrolled through the list looking for this myself. How are you going to have a list of development streams and not include the most popular developer streamer. This list just feels weird, like giving a list of popular programming language

Just to be clear, holding modern Germans accountable for the actions of the third reich is also absurd, and and I would speak to defend you from those sorts of attacks. The sins of the father should not condemn his children.

Sure thing. He says as such during his interview with Joe Rogan. If your claim is that he intends to present the idea that women are inferior in this field, that interview contradicts it.

Original sin is a heinous concept, and so are blood feuds, and this sounds like both. If your father was a violent degenerate and arsonist, would you comfortable paying society back for a portion of his crimes? It seems like that is what yo

Isn't this allegation an exact counterpoint to what you are saying? Throwing out the resumes of everyone who isn't hispanic, black, or female seems to be creating an advantage.
