Well, GPA shouldn't be tricky at all if you have what it takes to work at Google. This means, unless you were fed up with the educational system like I was and you purposely did a mediocre performance, you probably aced them.

Yes it does, it means every "frame" (yay video games terms) of your life, including the complete state of your mind, is a cause of the previous "frame". Every decision is a product of your experience and state of mind, t

If it's true it isn't that bad (yet). 30mn W is like what, 150'000 TVs? 400 cars? A few buildings worth of AC/heating? I don't think we'll get to a point where BTC has a significant footprint anytime soon.

Well, take a rice plantation. You need people to cultivate, maintenance, supplies, management. What would those people make on average in the US? 20k? 20k buys you 40t of rice a year on the current marker. How many people do you need on an

It's actually as objective as you get, if there is such a thing as "rational". Rationality is the main principle of "exact" science too, and is a good tool to work within what we know. Unfortunately, it's also

I'm not sure I agree with that. There is a legion of people making six figures, who together have a lot of power if they were to try to do something. I know disruption or even violence won't help at first, but it raises awareness.

You're the reason PHP has a bad reputation. You have no idea what you're doing, and you use your mouth not only to breathe, but to spill hate on it too! 80% of your points can be answered by wrappers/helpers. How often do PHP
