The argument here is about quality of life. I suspect the reason you mention income is that you believe it is nessecary to be able to do things outside of work. I personally earn more than I need to get by, and I'm sure as I get older and h

Why does this only seem to be a problem in the USA? This doesn't occur in Australia/NZ but we still have patents.

When trying to make my own version of coke it was interesting to learn that the real secret is the flavorings, which are then mixed with sugar and caffeine etc to form the syrup, which is finally mixed with carbonated water to produce the f

I still don't see how this is any more useful than just using the default auto-complete with your standard country list. The data I've measured shows that selecting your country is not often a pain point. Also, if it's for shipping, you can

I like the ideas of getting up early to do work, I might try that. I'm usually either really tired afterwork so just chill out then sleep, or I'm pumped up and work until the wee hours of the morning. Also don't underestimate how much time
