He has a well balanced head on his shoulders. He should be in PR ! It's striking when you can tell whether an answer is honest/no-nonsense. And not even an overdone apology can beat an honest-to-goodness straight forward answer.

It's absolutely insider trading, even taking your far fetched example. You just have to see it in a slightly different angle. You are talking about not hurting the 'end customer' who bought the pumpkins at the same price, jus

"It's almost debilitating, and caused me insomnia for quite a while." That is the worst part of it. Insomnia causes more stress and anxiety which causes more episodes of sleep paralysis/night terrors etc. It is a vicious

All of these are strong triggers of sleep apnea, if your jawbone, throat, body structure etc, already make you susceptible to sleep apnea. All of these worsen my sleep apnea condition. I am starting to believe there is a strong connection

Also it is during such episodes, there are high chances that you will also experience what I call as 'recursive wakeups', several levels (mostly 1 or 2 levels deep) of indirection out of which you are unrolling to wake up like in

But have you ever wondered why its always the feeling of a ghost or (some form of human/human-like presence)? Why not a snake or a lion, tiger etc. I have sleep apnea and used to wake up short of breath some times. Before I got a CPAP

Excellent answer. In the case of mass merchants where the risk profile of their business model is low (i.e they are not crowd funding or pre sales receivers of funds from end users), the paypal model works well for everyone. Risk is equally

You are not quite understanding the graphs (and their proposed interpretation ) correctly. What the OP is saying is that the Rupee is being devalued (As seen by rising $ to Rupee curve) by the Govt in power, in the months preceding the next

You also give money to kill people (You do pay taxes, right?). How come you are not bothered about that also? It's pointless to think about the impact of a micro action on a macro event. Especially macro things such as war. There are so ma

The "risk takers" who "cross on their own terms" can be equally judged as "gamblers" who gamble with their life. I mean this whole analogy given by article poster is pointless first of all. And then comparing SFers with New Yorkers based on

'Animated gif like snapshot' is certainly a more attractive option. But most of the funny animated gifs out there have some sort of 'continuation' or 'smooth transition' that for some reason is not coming thru from the Vine video snippets.

Just because 140 char limit worked for a text media does not guarantee that very short length works for every media. What next, 5 second podcasts? Or should we call them 'shoutouts' rather?? Even with 140 char twitter, unless a very strong

This might be oversimplifying a bit - How about keeping all OS files, app files etc on SSD. No auto-tiering of those. - Then some equivalent of a 'cron job + filter driver' combo that moves data files to and from SSD to the 1/3TB disk? Wh
