You're not making much sense. Anyone googling the domain and following the link can plainly see there is adult content being served from there. No amount of insisting that it doesn…

It aligns their incentives with yours. You know they really do want you to find a high paying job. Thats not something that can be said of most educational programs.

Uh. My ZFS-backed BSD NAS also has the hostname 'alexandria'.

Strange. I know now no one who thinks drinking coffee is batshit crazy. We must hang out/work with very different people... Last I checked, caffeine in moderate doses has a mixed b…

I get utterly bored with new sports within 3-6 months. This has happened with every sport I have tried, no matter how much I loved it at the beginning. Some people enjoy repetition…

Eh, kind of, Canada is 20% native French; there are more French Canadians than Finnish people. Actually, if you look at Finland and Sweden as a whole, with Sweden having twice as m…

Well, dating five people if you're (mostly hetero) female; dating one or two people, who are each dating five people, if you're (mostly hetero) male. Edit: Arguably, this is a bett…

They are completely comparable. You don't think people who change channels to avoid ads/who use DVRs is factored into the price per viewer for TV ads? Your individual impact might …

I'm confused, what is your point? Often you get the opposite effect of a drug in withdrawal, e.g. caffeine reduces headache pain, causes headaches in withdrawal.

By 'these sorts of trades' I meant 'trades with strangers without a trusted third party'. Of course a trusted third party obviates the need for complicated schemes.

I don't do these sort of trades but if I did I'd try: Buyer sends 1/4 of the BTC Sellers sends 1st card Buyer sends 1/2 of the BTC Seller sends 2nd card Buyer sends 1/4 of BTC That…

Ooooh thanks. I've been reading a lot of Spolsky's blog posts from 2005-2006... I was thinking, what's happened to this guy in the last 10 years? Everyone hates him? Securities fra…
