I think it’s rubbish. I smoke weed every day and it is not addictive. I’m simply adjusting my body to weed frequency. I need a higher concentration THC over time because my body raises in frequency. But I live a clean…
True. The US Treasury market is backed by war. That's solid business that you can rely on :-)
There is no "crypto crash." There is "everything crash." Crypto, stocks, baby formula, war. The world has turned into an insane clown world. There are evil people out there, and they fuel the flames. Instead of…
Remote is good because I can do laundry and vacuum my flat while thinking about a work problem. Most employers though consider that stealing. Offices aren’t unnecessary but practically all offices I’ve ever worked from…
I can't wait for El Salvador to offer a cheap, safe, and secure crypto vault. Once they expand to yield generating crypto, they can charge a small fee while holding BILLIONS in crypto assets.
I rented an Airbnb recently and they had a basic induction stove on top of non-functional gas stove. The induction stove, with special pots, was like tech from the future. I was only doing basic cooking but it was…
Matt Levine is my favorite source of insight into the nitty-gritty of financial markets. He has an uncanny ability to take what would be the most boring minutiae and turn it into a fascinating and well told story. I…
How much of that is climate change and how much local development policy? There is an ever continuing push for creating extremely high density urban areas with hardly any greenery. Those are becoming barely habitable.…
This shows that Robinhood is a true "tech company"!
There is a very simple reason why crypto aren't going anywhere -- wealth generation. For a lot of people in many parts of the world the (still) unregulated nature of crypto is the only way to generate wealth. How does…

Is heart inflammation serious? News outlets report “increased risk of X condition” usually without any background on the seriousness of the condition.
Linux is developer friendly but user experience is abysmal. I’m a developer. I grew up with Linux. I can’t wait for Apple to turn MacOS into iOS with extras. Linus himself said that Chromebook (with a shell) looks…
In their article they have compared the income tax rate with wealth adjusted tax rate. Out of curiosity, what would a wealth adjusted tax rate be for a dual income family that owns a house?
I wish DataHand was still made. The 3d printed keyboard based on DataHand looks very interesting but right now I don't have time to invest into making custom hardware. I wish I could just buy something similar!
Why are all the masks single use? Why can't we make reusable masks that can be disinfected by UV light? Structurally those masks are pretty solid. I can easily wear a single surgical masks for quite some time. But would…
Here’s another question: isolation... and then what? Sit at home until 2021 when we maybe have a vaccine? I don’t see how we make this virus disappear so while I can see how people staying at home can stop the spread,…
I keep hearing “masks are useless”. If every person who has any cough or any chest tightness or any sore throat, however mild, put on a mask, wouldn’t that stop the spread? I live in Japan. It started here earlier but…
Does one acquire immunity after going through CoV infection? What about SARS/MERS? If I understand correctly there are many strains of influenza and they mutate. That's why new vaccines are needed. What about SARS/MERS?…

Everything can easily be done in a tiny controlled environment! Also Singapore is fairly uniform. There's Malaysian Singaporean part, Indian part and Chinese part. They do not overlap. Everyone stays in their lane!
I don't think you need to convince anyone here that automated systems fail. I think many of us have been affected by such systems. Accounts blocked for no reason, etc. Glitch. The problem is not the automated systems.…
Someone please save democracy from the people! They just can't be trusted...
