Asking 18-24 year olds to make lifetime statements is not the same as asking a 40-50 year old person. One group has no concept yet and the other is starting to regret wasting it.

Everyone should zoom into this image on your own because it is just absolutely amazing! I don’t care politically either way, but I’m sure/hopeful NASA’s presentation tomorrow will actually do a better job of showing just how important

I keep a pen in hand and I write in my books as I’m reading. Underlining, bracketing, or rewording parts I find interesting. That seems to help provide a pseudo feedback loop for me. Of course that makes them pretty much untradeable afte

It's sounds silly, but the way I've broken the phone addiction is with a watch. I've got it paired as a family member through my wife's phone, and it has a cell plan so the only phone number I have is through the watch.

I definitely read this like the two of you. If the information being shown by Google results is what I need, there isn't a need to click further. On top of that, many of us have been "trained" that products like ZScaler are

It should definitely be left up. It’s okay to have that world view at his age, and it is probably serving him well right now. I remember being 22-23 and wondering why everyone didn’t want to work 12 hours a day. Why were some leaving bef

Feel like OP should have linked to the link inside the article (provided below) which gives more evidence. Still not very good evidence, but better than this original (1/3 of wearers were linked to bomb making): https://www

I understand what you are both saying. Think it kinda depends on your part of the world too. My home couldn't be deeper into the US Bible Belt. If my family were harassed by a company like this, we would become outcasts very very qu

The list of storefronts the author gave in the article (Silver Arch Books, Owls Books, Yellow Hammer Books and Sierra Nevada Books) look like they are all "owned" by Thriftbooks, which was interviewed in the article (just search A

I'm trying to come up with words to describe this that would be worthy of even saying. All I can say is I love it. I was born in 1973, but for those of you who don't remember the pre-internet edge, current books and movies weren

As do I (bank file transmissions representing!) To compensate this partial file fiasco, we tend to rely on the .done file methodology (i.e. we won't pick your file from your server until your script writes out a dummy file we can loca

Haha! Very true. Lost in your thoughts. Better take a notebook though or all of those solutions will melt away.

Hands up to that! It totally aggravates my wife that I can just forget about lunchtime or dinner or whatever meal is coming next because I've become so involved in something. Right now is the worst. I made a list of work I need to do

That last bit really got to me too. It seems like a lot of pride and guilt are mixed in with whatever else might be going on. Yes, 12,000 people there, half a million in the country, but someone is trying to help her. So if she would let

As others have mentioned, it truly would benefit you to discuss this with a therapist. Even though you are using a throwaway account, I can tell that you're still holding back a bit. You need to openly express how you feel with anoth

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hoping there are a lot of indie artists out there who are seeing success through Spotify like yourself. Musicians and the songs they write are like authors and their books: there are way too

If ACH areas are involved, hopefully they already had those queued a day early per normal routines and you'll (hopefully) be fine. There are exceptions allowing companies to provide ACH files late. That's the exception and not t

I'm not at a top 3, only a large regional. But I'm going to guess software packages and services from companies like Wolters Kluwer Financial Services ( http://www.wolterskluwerfs.com for those interested).

I really enjoyed seeing the list, Josh, and I appreciate the share via Twitter and here. My guess is that there are several serial entrepreneurs on Hacker News, and like myself, definitely can identify with your efforts.

This is a really good solution for someone who wants to go nuclear on the smartphone, but isn't sure. You'll find out quick if your willpower is the main issue.

Without saying the same as others, they are there to listen for the most part. A lot of the times, that's what someone under stress and who might be considering taking action needs. What a lot of people don't understand is that a

Same for me here. The lack of response was ridiculous. I would have loved to been told what was wrong or why the ban so I could at least try to resolve the issue somehow. But the only thing I received in return was that the decision was

Unfortunately I was part of one of these at a much smaller bank in the past. A job that "memo posted" checking accounts failed. When we restarted the job, we tagged the restart to the wrong step. We should have hit the restore

As a lifelong Mississippian, that was wonderful and charming to see and hear. I get so used to hearing those voices that it's not noticeable until someone points out the unusualness of our little part of the world.
