I'm afraid breathable air does cost you the energy required to operate the lungs. This energy is mostly generated from digesting organic matter such as vegetables and meat which can vary in price. Free cannot exist since we live in a univ

In most cases you are correct, an exception is a lightning strike. Random Google coughed up this result "CPR usually has a success rate of 10% or less. In cases of lightning injury, CPR can have success rates of up to 90%. As such, normal

Insurance is an industry very much in need of disruption. If Google offered a monthly software license for a self driving car that also covered the insurance? That would be awesome, and many people would probably take them up on it.

Are you serious? Tesla essentially gave away much of his works (or voluntarily chose to not enforce his copyright) because his work and the advancement of technology was more important to him than money. He chose to remain chaste (a virgin

They started surveying them when they were at Harvard from what I understand. That is still quite a bit removed from their childhoods. In any case the point about correlation != causation stands. The information is interesting, but I fin

I felt happier when I was out in it too. One of my happiest memories is sitting under a tree in a thunderstorm eating muesli. I was in a country where I didn't speak the language and I had little money and no place to stay. I sat under t

My comment still applies. People with happy lives will see their earlier years in a warmer light than those without happy lives.

I'm an introvert and had a great time when I was younger travelling with no money. It's not just meeting other people, I would say one of the most satisfying things about travelling is the risk. Risk is scary, it wakes you up, makes you f

Science. Correlation != Causation. In other words happy people are more likely to remember their relationships with others in a positive light. I used to think I had a bad childhood, I wasn't happy. Then I was happy and would rave about

I've had this happen often enough that when refactoring something tricky I like to copy the function and rework it. Then I'll change references from the old method to the new one one at a time and test. One of my favorite methods returned

I agree with you that a trained developer does produce higher quality code and even if more expensive does end up being better in the long run. However in terms of judging the quality of your own work it's important to keep in mind that ev

In this case it may be a good thing. Anyone who reads this account (anyone reasonable at least) will think. "Bright student with an interest in science trying a fun science experiment." Then they'll hire her, or not, based on her qualific

I totally agree. Personally I try to use the fact that I was bullied as an opportunity to empathize and try to help others. We may not be able to choose our external circumstances but we can certainly work on how we react to them.

Choice is a gray area. For instance if you're of unimpressive physical stature, intelligent, and wear glasses you're automatically grouped into a certain category. You also have certain options open to you. Not to mention while you can ch

I don't live in Norway but I do want to say if you get the chance to go there it may be worthwhile... After all they are #1 in the world on the human development index... http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/countries/profiles/NOR.html

I think that says more about Steve Wozniak than Steve Jobs. From what I've read about him he's an amazing person that is easy going and very forgiving. I think while his greatness may have been less visible he would have been great regard

Bill Watterson is one of my heroes. From what I've read of him he had an extraordinary strength of will. His comics were a major influence on me growing up and the more I learn about him the more I admire him.

This was the first programming language I was taught. I got super excited with it, by the second class I already had a working etch-a-sketch. By the third I was writing a roguelike based on Moria. At the point my teacher told me to do my

An internship is effectively getting paid to learn. Maybe there are better choices for the company to work with but hey, you may never get another chance to learn how Facebook builds things. If you get an opportunity to get a look at soft

Thanks for the tip. I'm unfortunately not at the point where having a travel agent gives me a good reward but I don't mind doing it myself most of the time. Just fyi both of those site returned prices that were around 1/3 more expensive (u

No I didn't, tried them now, and they gave pretty bad results for me. 700€ more expensive than the cheapest ticket I found so far.

She's his wife, that's personally identifiable information by itself, far more so than a first name. Also I assume that he ran it by her first in any case as to post that conversation without clearing it with her would be a very bad move.

That and the fact that the headings of the two members of the conversation are: Ryan and Wife. Giving her a name probably would have helped...

From the article: "How did you define “country?” for this trip? I used the U.N. standard. There were 192 countries when I started, and one was added (more on that in a moment). I've also been to plenty of regions, islands, and culturally d

I would say it's better to pick a task, then take a look at what programming language is commonly used for that task. Want to write a web game to post online on a game aggregator? Sign up for Kongregate and NewGrounds and find out what the
