If your wife is open, try IVF. Also, if her eggs are non viable (which becomes more likely after 40), frozen donor eggs are increasingly affordable (~$15,000-$20,000) and the succe…

Personally speaking: family, friends, and coworkers have long equated the "Fake News" label with the pap put out by mainstream media monopolies, and, the agendas pushed by trendy s…

>It really is frustarting to see the US fall further behind. Freedom of association is not evil.

A janitor, whom never uttered a word to me before, asked me about bitcoin in a very forward manner just last week. As much as I'm excited by the concepts behind crypto, "jump the s…

800 through 1000 square foot Aladdin or Sears Roebuck-style kit homes would do far more to affordably beautify the typical America neighbourhood than 1960s style trailer homes repl…

In times of Weimar prosperity, more people should curl up with a copy of Ben Graham's '29-crash postmortem "Intelligent Investor", IMHO. I can't help but suspect that these barbers…

An echo chamber would appear to be a derisive term for instances of freedom of association. That being said, it would be nice if "links" to alternate viewpoints could be kept in cl…

Not sure if any here have tried it, but would looping a recording of isochronic delta-wave tones during sleep help sync brain rhythms?

> So what exactly is your solution? Enforce antitrust laws.

Password safe utilities seems to be growing too complex, IMHO. Vim's blowfish encryption is a straightforward alternative and the editor seems easy enough to install anywhere it's …

The West's media cartels are its kingmakers. "In 1983, 90% of US media was controlled by 50 companies; as of 2011, 90% was controlled by just 6 companies" https://en.wikipedia.org/…

Suggestion: Follow the OpenBSD project's lead and end this debate with blanket adoption of CVS. Also, a "Comic Sans" website makeover would severely cut down on the golang communit…

From Plutarch's "Lucullus": "Lucullus now turned his attention to the cities in Asia, in order that, while he was at leisure from military enterprises, he might do something for th…

IMHO, Just apply a BSD license and let the community handle everything else. Wish AmigaOS 3.1 would have done the same several decades ago.

I was present for training at Informix headquarters in Menlo Park when it was announced that IBM purchased the company (I believe around 1999 and 2000). I can still recall the deat…

Assuming stricter typing does prevent smart contract bugs, something like Ada or Spark would seem to be good fit for cryptocurrency development given their track record creating hi…

What can I do to report and deport said illegal immigrant? Also, which legal authorities can be notified to punish said company?
