My daughter learned to talk a lot earlier than her older sister who is a year older, also learned to walk earlier too. Anecdotal, obviously, but part of me thinks she was trying to…

You might be looking for Skurt. Although now that I Google them, it appears they've either re-branded as or been acquired by Fair.

These are some awesome talks I've never seen, so thanks for sharing! I can start binging now. Has he ever given a talk or written a blog post that gave pointers/tips on giving awes…

Maybe I should've mentioned "Los Angeles" higher in my comment, but looking at the sibling comment to yours, apparently there are plenty other states where it is legal to pass on t…

Thanks for that link. Made me wonder about the stores/restaurants I frequent here that do charge, apparently they're still ok to do so after 2015(link from the comments in your lin…

Merchants absolutely can pass on the fees or give "discounts" for cash, at least in the USA. Gas stations are one of the major businesses that practice this. Anecdotally, I worked …

It's even worse when your chip starts to fail, as one of my has started to do very recently. You have to put the card in three times(and wait for it to fail 3 times) before you're …

I've read The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy. I like his writing, but there is a business-y type of vibe to it. I also recently picked up The Daily Stoic book, which does…

Not only the new stuff that replenishes the pool, but often times when I find a new resource/subreddit that I don't know much about but find interesting, there's often a huge amoun…

I got confused because I was clicking the boxes and nothing was happening. They should definitely put a demo button towards the top. But yes this was cool!

I think you're thinking about Antabuse, which does make you sick after drinking. There's also Naltrexone which supposedly blocks the receptors that alcohol reacts to so you don't g…

Don't let this scare you. When I first started learning this stuff, I started a blog. I made maybe 3 posts before giving up on it, thinking about how much I didn't know, how that e…

My daughter is 3 and learned to use a phone/tablet before she was 2. Whenever I'd pull up YouTube on my tv she'd walk to the tv and try to swipe it as well. Often getting upset thi…

This is what I'm afraid of. By far the most reacted/responded to messages are the Happy Birthday/Anniversary shoutouts, the @channel letting everyone know the coffee machine is wor…

Thank you so much for these links. Recently I've thought about building something data viz and stats related using baseball stats. I know MLBAM has a bunch of data they keep to the…

This is amazing. I've started to learn Elixir recently, and as a result my interest in Erlang and BEAM has been piqued. I'm sure a lot of this will be over my head for now, but loo…

Just started a new project at my company using RethinkDB, very early stages, but I was amazed at how well this was documented and implemented. Coming from different ORMs to use wit…

I've played both, and it's much easier to withdraw from DraftKings than it was from PokerStars/Full Tilt/Party Poker. In the dark days of online poker after they shut down a lot of…

Soccer has it's dull games too. Watching teams park the bus or just kick the ball around to kill time. Thrilling stuff! Also, as a fan of all sports, I have to say there is probabl…

Over a thousand people were killed by police in the US in 2015 according to http://killedbypolice.net/ which is more than fatalities from shark bites, airplane crashes and terroris…
