I like to say something along the lines is “80% of all development should be really boring otherwise you didn’t do enough planning or you’re working on < 1 year old start up”. To me the real excitement isn’t from the code working it’s fr

Anecdotal evidence, I'm just about Gen Z and I know a lot of people in that generation who buy rep sneakers and designer clothes via reddit from China. Reps have gotten very, very good if you're willing to pay a little more than f

Or just delay the live stream instead? There’s a whole lot of hyperbole in your comments. He definitely cheated in online play as chess.com and Hans himself has said. Don’t think there’s been any proof of OTB cheating so far and his OTB pla

I think most people would consider drug addiction a mental illness. If not it often is being used as a coping mechanism for mental illness or something else. Being able to empathize with people who are struggling is exactly what OP was talk

I take lots pictures before I ship. The products I largely sell also go through a third party service, but that’s a very recent addition to eBay. Otherwise, like every other business fraud is just a cost/side effect of doing business.

I'm a decently big ebay seller. There are a huge amount of scammers on the buy side. Lots of fake reputation. The reason why they largely side with the buyer is there are a lot of scam sellers as well. Traditionally, ebay has been a ve

After taking a stab into building with Gutenberg I'm incredibly bearish. Automatic has abandoned both of its customers, plugin/theme developers and non-technical website owners, due to, imo, huge amount of VC funding it took on. G

This seems like a bit of an angry response. I write a lot of Wordpress and php code and help manage one of the most sold themes on theme forest. Php really was, in my opinion, a hell hole of a failed language until 6ish. The patterns people

I totally agree with you but I'm pretty sure you just described the Normal distribution. People need to stop putting certain occupations on a pedestal. I've had good doctors and bad doctors, largely the latter. Tbh, most doctors d

I think a lot of older school Americans have a real justice boner and justice in their mind is often eye for an eye. At least this feels true about the older, right-leaning generation I know. Justice in the US, traditionally, seems a lot mo

This is why the other poster got frustrated with you. The current watch market is a terrible example of supply and demand as a traditional model. Do you think S&D effectively models NFT marketplace? Because the watch market is a lot mor

Why would you use good/expensive olive oil to cook/fry with in the first place? If you're not able to taste a difference when you're adding salt you might want to try a different size or type of salt. I have maybe 5 or 6

Generally for stem test for application of material not memorization (Medicine you need both, etc). My lower level undergrad math courses all allowed us to bring a crib sheet with equations. It helps you go back over and study/relearn.

With a 10 dollar scale and an App like Lose It, it is pretty easy. They have both things with UPC codes for easy look up and standard foods, for example brown rice or salmon. I keep track and probably spend less than 5 minutes a day getting

11 pm - 2/3 am is the best time for me to get work done. Most people are asleep. News, slack/discord and emails aren't coming in. Hopefully the small tasks were already done earlier in the day, and the only thing left to do i

In respect to Sea World the more realistic strategy is either run at a minor loss until the real estate is profitable or squeeze dry ASAP and sell. Or the timeless play of load it with debt, payout themselves and declare bankruptcy. Of cour

If you have moved recently and or a few times, and not updated your mailing address etc, they might struggle to get in contact with you. I only noticed mine almost 9 months after the fact due to my credit score dropping ~200 points.

I totally agree with you in theory, but someone went and created debt in my name. That is a form of theft. They used my identity to commit a theft. When I was filing a police report, they were talking about how to file it, as fraud, theft a

I recently had my identity stolen and used for the first time. My data has been leaked so many times who knows where it was taken from (40+ hits on haveibeenpawned). The process of clearing the debt in my name was pretty enlightening. I fee

Pocari Sweat is also sold all over south east Asia. Great to help ward off a hangover as well. Will second it isn’t a normal western flavored drink but I quite enjoyed it while I was living where it was available.

I don’t think in general I’ve ever had a hard time selling it. The issue is the decision pretty much all or nothing; everyone has to be using it as well. Getting a number of people to switch is always difficult.

Some great resources have already been posted that I'd second such as the Ableton website and Syntorial. I'd add the course by Sean Luke out of GMU [0] if you'd like something after and possibly a little more academic. His eb
