I guess if you’re looking for a silver bullet, keep looking?

It may also be because women, as a group, have vastly higher purchasing power than men. And, dollars talk, as they say in the USA.

I tried to delete my account, but I don't know how. HN is a distraction anyway. I have a company to sell.

Maybe I'm bad at persuasion? I'm just saying this isn't about me.

I'm sorry, I looked back through my words, and didn't see any name calling. That's fine if you want to ban me. I'll go elsewhere. But, I think you're greatly confusing incivility a…

Why is that uncivil? That's an odd reading. And, I wasn't complaining about down-votes. I was enjoying it. Get it right. It's just my statement that millennials appear to be a soul…

Why argue with me? If you just want to win, to beat me, I'll surrender. Just please do something positive today.

So, how about doing something productive today that helps solve the root problems? You won't be able to do it all on your own. Find 2-3 other people to collaborate with.

That's just the type of political BS excuse that's propagated by people who'd rather play WoW and binge watch mindless Netflix shows than help save their failing state. Downvote me…

You guys realize that just because you get to walk down to the Blue Bottle with your 8-of-10 girlfriend and her Kate Spade purse to buy $4 scones, 98% or more of the world's surfac…

Sorry - was just using that as an example to illustrate that most people have some preferences about what they want and need in their environment. The purpose wasn't to demonize st…

There are zoning and planning because, well, people actually live in those places, and it's natural for people to want some control over their environment. Is that really such a ba…

S. Korea and Japan make some great films that are also globally profitable and influential. Seems like there's something else going on that is stifling China's film industry.

What is the point of these types of arguments and opinions if they don't have any evidence to back them? I don't give a shit if it's functional or object-oriented or procedural or …

If you're in a position to negotiate the terms of the option contract, then sure, you're right. But, someone with that kind of negotiation position isn't the article's target audie…

My only true mistakes were people mistakes: Being too cocky. Underestimating the capabilities of my seniors. Competing with my co-workers rather than cooperating. Not learning to c…

Isn't that like someone in the 19th century predicting that automobiles will never happen because rail is so much more effective, comfortable, safe? Convenience and flexibility alw…

People wouldn't mind as much if they had the same kinds and amounts of data on the their observers as their observers have on them. I kind of work in this field, and it's easy to k…

Yeah, when I think of big, I automatically think trillions. But, I'm jaded. lol I was hoping for something that maybe looked like a set of hierarchical clusters. Where I could dril…

icantdrive55, you appear [dead]. (Does that mean that I'm dead, or you're dead? I don't know.) Anyway, your story is very similar to one of my experiences. I had a medical issue. S…

Interesting stuff, and it was worth the read. I took some good ideas from it. However, as I read it, I also wondered if his principles were used to test his principles.

I love this. To me, this is real 'smarts'.

It should be noted that libel laws are still in effect. That means that companies can and will pressure authors to remove reviews through extortion - i.e. threat of a libel suit. E…

Many of my friends and some relatives joined the armed forces in the early 90s. The world seemed relatively safe then, trending upwards, and it seemed like a stable path to a middl…

This was surprising: "Among Gen Xers who have exceeded their parents’ income, those with college degrees are less likely to surpass their parents’ wealth, mostly due to student loa…
