   I can't wait for this bubble to burst so I never have to hear about these tulips again.

   How is anyone still a republican or democrat these days? I understand being forced to vote as the system is rigged for two parties, but outside of the voting booth, actively identifying with either party? How is anyone finding these absolut

   I vote very liberal, but the only hate speech I have ever experienced has been from other liberals, primarily on twitter.

   Please don't virtue signal, or state flame wars, or use this to posture some kind of agenda.

   Textbook example of the kind of hostility and close-mindedness that is creeping into our beloved site. Why are we dick measuring? why are we comparing experience like this? so much "I" "I" "I"... I have no hors

   This is a good thing, from any way you look. The last thing we need is more consolidation, and less competition, in this space.

   My understanding that advanced stone, shaped with metal, lasts. However, simple stone tools (think axes, hammers, flint arrowheads etc) tend to get easily lost. This is made furthermore difficult by the difficulty (impossibility?) of distin

   Perhaps you are not deeply familiar with this realm, but trivial (native) copper working is not generally considered metallurgy. For an amateur but no less correct source, wikipedia provides a good quip for us: https://en.wikiped

    Yes, but they were not nearly advanced enough for metallurgy and the like. Their artifacts, while no less important, fade away far quicker.

    I've said this before, but happy to write it over and over. One of the co-founders was my old EM at Uber. He's as sharp as they get, and very kind and humble to boot. If you are looking to support companies started by people that

    What happened in 1921? Or is this one of those baseless "before we had cancer" comments?

    Thanks, that's a good answer. I am not 100% sold that any of these are "problems", but I could at least see why you think they are and pursue "solutions".

    In service of art is still a legitimate and important use case! Not sure that's what crypto is for though.

    Please be kind, and don't snipe or deride my question. Instead of hand waiving a recommendation, can you provide some answers?

    1) You're right, and perhaps its a position of privilege to say this, but this does not seem to be a real problem worth solving? I've transacted a lot of money, both ingress and egress, buying a modest home, a car or two, paying o

    So, I'm just a guy, been a software engineer most of my life, from age 7 or so when dad first showed me how to punch some commands in DOS. Probably like many of you here. So, when you read what I am about to write, please don't at

    I do not find this useful or correct. Furthermore, the author has another post that says to avoid Cracking the Coding Interview, which is actually a stellar book (even for those who are not interviewing).

    I am sad you are not open to being swayed, what is the value of coming to a discussion with no intent to change your own mind? How can you visit to offer opinions, with the intent to change others minds, but not be open to having your own c

    Thanks for accusing me of that. In what way is at an apartheid? There is no systematic discrimination based on race in Israel. I cannot say the same for other countries, esp when it comes to Jews.

    I'd like to point out that the current generation of both the palestinians and the jews did not take or give land. The people who did are pretty much gone. At this point, there's not much to be done - both sides were both there. A

    I lived there for a bit. During that time, I volunteered at a refugee camp for Palestinians. My sentiment was shared by a good number of them. The unified thread there is a hate for Hamas. I know you didn't know that, but with that in

    Thank you for sharing this. This reminded of an amazing exhibit I saw in Tokyo, at the National Museum of Nature and Science. I don't have much to add, I just wanted to thank you, it was a very enjoyable read.

    Israel is a wonderful country. Scientifically advanced, progressively minded, a bastion of secularism, LGBT rights, and western ideals. The world is, sadly, obsessed with them. I'd love a real explanation why they get so much undue att

    Israel has palestinians and arabs as part of its government, and they can get citizenship and full rights. Is the reverse true anywhere else in the middle east? Can Jews get citizenship and participate in government in any middle eastern co
