What you fail to consider is that no one owns money. Once you die, you dont take your cash to the grave. Im getting philosophacal here, but people are only shepards to money. They are maintainers and once they die someone (or many) will tak

Is anyone else disgusted by these "X should have responded like this" articles? They are so cringy. It's like asking a kid what he would do if he was president... but actually taking it seriously. The problem with critics is

In my experience, these things have nothing to do with the language itself, but rather that it's a second language. As a non native speaker, you just don't have those strong emotional connections to words that a native speaker wou

How fast are you really going? One of the things I've thought about is relatively. Consider a toddler strapped to his car seat in a luxurious BMW cocoon while his father speeds down the autobahn at 200km/h. He calmy drinks from hi

Yours is but one perspective. Consider the alternative that you are the only person in the universe. What would be your modus operandi then?

It's a question if uber can race to self driving cars fast enough. That's really the only way their financial model can make sense. They should really be seeing this as essential to their survival, like nuclear bombs in WWII. Nazi

He puts a lot of work trying to weasel out a theory based on a caricuturized comedy. It reminded me of some ideas from socionics though, mainly how strengths and weaknesses create relationship types http://www.socionics.com/

Exactly. In the switch varitation both the 1 man and 5 man group are tied to the tracks. For whatever reason we can assume fate has brought them there and it is our role to simply make the logical choice. But to ask one to push a man right

Economic activity is the process of changing things. For example, a lumber will chop down trees and sell them for $5000. He changes forest into logs. A house builder will buy those trees, and then take the money he has saved and pay someone

Because of feeling? Our subconscious mind recognizes something and predicts a bad outcome, which gives us a feeling of something being wrong. That's what expertise is essentially. Being able to offload things that took conscious effort

What I meant by that was Opera lets users do what they want, and doesn't try to hinder them like google does when certain features are against their interest. Things like: * Opera's extension store has Youtube Center, which google

Chrome started being annoying for me after version 36, but firefox was bad too. Recently made the switch to Opera and it has been much better than chrome or firefox. Opera is based on webkit, so it renders just like Chrome, has the same web

There isn't sex identification technology. Mosquitoes eat nectar from plants. They only use blood for mating purposes (and the female is the one that has to get it). So if there are mosquitos around humans, they are almost all female a
