Yeah I don't understand why people are acting so hurt by this. If you want to be paid for something, don't make it open source. If you want to force users to keep the source open, make it GPL/AGPL/whatever. If you wan

Yeah, to use it effectively you use it for inspiration and generation of template code. The code may need a lot of changes or may need relatively few. But don't copy it expecting it to work without validating and testing it.

AFAIK there are drug addicts all over the world, including in the Middle East and Philippines where drug addicts are met with severe punishments. The problem is IMO more the availability of drugs vs the potential punishments people face. P

Yeah sounds like the people who bought it suck. Why would you destroy a pizza oven? It would add a ton of value to the house for the right buyer. If you had sold it to me I would have absolutely kept the oven :) Also inspires me to follow

This happened to me too! After a day of dealing with the router crashing every 30 minutes, I finally updated the firmware and am hoping the issue is fixed now.

I was definitely guilty of thinking this. Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.

If the government is going to give out drugs, then they should just run some pharmacies similar to state run liquor stores. No need to force users to buy from dealers, that makes no sense at all.

It doesn't matter who was banking there, from my perspective a society where we have to worry about bank runs and bank failures is worse than a society where we don't.

Agreed, in the abstract the system is better if people and businesses are more protected from events that are out of their control. The argument that the system should punish people for not risk averse enough to protect themselves against b

Amazon is ok with internal competition, so this could just be a way of keeping options open while locking in a large customer. Maybe Stripe is better in some markets or verticals but Amazon will still rely on Amazon Payments for others. L

Yeah it seems like it would only be worth mentioning if its less than the local livable/minimum wage or the employees were mistreated.

If I were you I'd get a neurological test and try to rule out all serious possibilities. Not because they are likely but because its good to catch many of those possibilities early and the fact that you are posting here suggests it is

No I was simply using strong language to suggest that I feel strongly about it. I'm not sure where to draw the line but as a concrete example, I'd consider voting for a law which created a large tax to fund biodiversity protectio

Why do you need to regret spending money if you don't use what you spent it on?

The value and worthiness is subjective, I'd support astronomical expenses and hardship humans to improve wildlife habitat because I think its important and care about it more than most other possible things to spend money on. The reas

I'd rather focus on the environment and biodiversity, you can feel free to focus on humans.

My aunt is blind. Alexa is a game changer for her. She doesn't do a ton with it, but asking questions, getting news and weather, and accessing her audio book library are some things she uses it for. I hope amazon doesn't pull the

I loved this article. My take away would be - there are differences between wines, some people are good at telling them apart, but people make mistakes and can be tricked, so take everything you hear about wine with a grain of salt.

Oh man. Nikhil Kamath is a founder of Zerodha and I thought his name sounded familiar--he cheated in a celebrity chess simul against Vishy Anand [1]. It really bothered me when I heard about it at the time. Afterwards, he tried to play i

I'd say that's more a problem with their incentives. When companies treat them like cannon fodder and cut them based on their monthly numbers, there's a huge incentive to do what it takes to make a sale. What's the wors
