    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 …

    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 m…

    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 ph…

    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 be…

    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…

    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 weare…

    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 comp…

    Page 60 of their 2019 annual report will show you (link below). The TCJA (Tax Cut/Job Act) removed $1.354 billion from what they were expected to pay. They had several other benefi…

    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, w…

    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 p…

    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…

    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…

    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 countr…

    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 bi…

    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 writ…

    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 provid…

    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.…

    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, de…

    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.

    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 o…
