These interviews are faux IQ tests though. More often than not these interviews tests a candidate's ability to research interviews and their ability to practice brain teasers and m…

I'm ready for Bitcoin, and crypto-currency mania in genral, to either crash and burn or take off to the next level and produce something of value. I can't be the only one who is gr…

Agreed. Filtration systems are cheap, and even if you don't have one with you it's pretty easy to boil water to be sure. In the extreme case that you can't boil the water, try coll…

I don't have kids, but have the same viewpoint from my personal experience growing up. Anything that is built to 'encourage child engagement' usually comes off as patronizing or bo…

User downloads != transactions. A user can download the app once and conduct hundreds of transactions. Refunds still exist, and are honestly easy to request. My point is that there…

Weather it's most or a lot, the noise generated in either case is enough to cause operational issues and bottleneck customer service for people who have genuine needs for refunds.

Steam and Google play are much different services and user bases. I'd also like to see comparative transaction amounts before you claim "completely false".

It would leave too much room for fraudulent or abusive behavior. Would exponentially increase the time their claims/customer service team has to spend digging through refunds to so…

As someone who has been dealing with migraines since I was in my early teens, this is concerning. I'm curious what the distinction between a risk factor and an early symptom are th…

Intelligence aside, I see a difference between actively depleting a population and farming animals as a resource.

There is no value created in exchange for your money down. It's just betting that the value will change arbitrarily (or through manipulation).

Yeah not saying it's a good choice on their part as it helps perpetuate the conflation between crypto and crypt-currency. Unfortunately this will be another case of literally/figur…

The domain is crypto.robinhood.com and the website title is "Robinhood Crypto". Title is perfectly accurate.

I think photos and video are way more distracting than someone not paying attention. If I pay for a concert ticket I don't want to be forced to watch it through the phone camera of…

how exactly would having your cell phone handy prevent another bataclan?

Encourage discomfort in travelling. It's a hard sell, especially for those who are "obligated" to travel. Unfortunately most people want to go somewhere "exotic" and still have all…

One of my favorite quotes on idea generation is from Madmen (tv series): "Just think about it deeply. Then forget it, and an idea will jump up in your face."

context?

Exactly. The value of the shares are tied directly to the output and monetary value of the company they are backing - and not hype and word-of-mouth.

It's a ridiculous example, of course. But it's something. Not to mention the actual real applications that were mentioned above. The point is - crypto-currencies are fairy dust. Th…

This is why I hate the comparison of crypto to gold or any other "value asset'. Houses are lived in. Stocks act as a cashflow for companies. Even if the world economy collapses you…

There's no almost about it. It is blatant manipulation.

As a counter anecdote, I got the flu shot and still ended up out of commission for 4 working days + a weekend of recovery. Still get your flu shot as it helps prevent spread and pr…
