Depending on OP's needs, this is probably the best. If he's trying to trade, he can open an account and (I believe) there is no minimum balance for buying/selling. I think $3k is the minimum for margin trades (and you…
The best way I've been able to describe it: When I'm out socializing, I'm often the life of the party. I was called a "social butterfly" over the weekend at a tailgate. I'm usually the guy at the party or whatever being…
That's anti-immersive, too. When you fire a shotgun in real life, you don't have to do the recoil motion yourself -- you just pull the trigger, and the recoil occurs on its own.
He's also the creator/founder of Soylent, and even if he were a good cook, he'd likely continue to live off of his creation if only to say "look, I do this!" which will probably get more people to buy his product.
Even though the founder does that, he has explained many times that he doesn't expect most people to replace their entire diet with Soylent. They expect you to do just as you said -- replace one or two meals,…
I didn't even see the 77 CE part at first. I clicked on the title, read a bit into it, and was very confused for a minute.
> It isn't illegal, but does that mean they should still do it? Exactly. They're a private company, they're free to do whatever they want within the legal limits. The argument isn't whether they're allowed to do it…
I love coffee, particularly darker roasts. I tend to drink my coffee black, I usually buy better-quality coffee (pretty much all big-brand store-bought coffee, e.g. Folger's, is bland and weak). That said, I hate…
Unless their technology developed along a completely different path, and the concept of radio waves is too foreign to them because they use an altogether different method of communication that we can't even begin to…
That's probably the next logical step, though, honestly. Not necessarily oil specifically, but resources in general and even colonization of any nearby planets/etc. that will allow it. How did we discover (and begin…
The assumption is that with a "family owned business," you're still running the business, right? The OP is actually saying that's one of the viable options -- to keep the business and stay at the helm. What he's arguing…
Yep. Generally, as the advice goes, when you're looking for a rental property to purchase, anticipate property management fees and include those fees in your profitability calculations -- regardless of whether you're…
This is exactly what I want to do eventually
Sure. And we definitely need some kind of motivation to focus our efforts on space exploration (it's very noticeably become an afterthought ever since we stopped trying to compete). But if we could somehow find that…
Better yet, why does it have to be an "individual nation" thing? Why can't all (or even just some) of the developed nations collaborate and pool funding and have a bigger team to work on the problem?
If we're talking about fitness goals, generally, weight is actually a fairly poor indicator of progress. Someone can be 200 lb and another person can be 180 lb, and both can be the same height; yet the 200lb person…
As others have said in this thread, it's entirely possible (and, in a corporate setting, very probable) that he could've been writing an email during a time in the meeting where is attention wasn't needed. I can tell…
These days? I think it's always been like that, and these days we're starting to recognize that introversion isn't a deficiency, it's just how some people are wired (and doesn't necessarily equate to "shy" or "awkward")
Yep, it's Kronos. Fortunately, I only need to use it when I request PTO. I feel sorry for the hourly employees that use it several times a day.
My company just transitioned to a Java applet-based time clocking/PTO/etc. management application. The first time I opened it and it brought up the little Java prompt, I was like, "Really?"
I imagine the OP probably meant that and simply wrote the wrong thing in the post. I probably wouldn't have noticed it was the wrong wording if not for this comment chain.
I just find it really cool that a clemson.edu link made it to the front page of HN....
Also consider DUIs (now that we have motor vehicles), office work (where drinking during the day - at least heavily - is typically forbidden), and to some extent possibly the suburban lifestyle (most people don't live a…

I upvoted it. Why is it getting downvoted, I wonder? Seems like a fairly rational explanation. Is it just because of the negative tone? I mean, this post is asking for opinions, and the commenter simply gave his…
