Russians are also Asian.

I love how it's turn-based. Everything is purposeful and strategic with football. Whereas games like hockey and basketball are very fluid, the strategy is more vague. There's a gen…

There is so much beauty in the game of football. It's filled with the best athletes colleges can produce for that particular sport. The worst football player on any NFL team is pro…

This is unfortunately an ignorant statement. During the Swine Flu epidemic, British health care workers were given an untested vaccine. It left many of them with lingering health p…

I scan my Airbnbs with my thermal camera to try to find hidden cameras. I'm pleased to say I've never found one yet.

If you pay at the higher end of rates and go with Superhosts, your experience will largely be flawless. I've never had a problem and my stays have been amazing, but I'm also spendi…

This is incorrect. There needs to be large investors willing to buy at $140 in order to say the CFO failed. There likely wasn't. You can't compare the actions of "smart money" like…

The reaction of the markets to Airbnb's IPO is definitely an echo of the dotcom days. The only question is, is Airbnb's IPO equivalent to Netscape (ie. near the beginning of the bo…

Tesla has $20B warchest, I think they'll be fine.

Vitamin D taken via pill is not the same an that manufactured by sunlight. The pill form has side effects like causing too much absorption of calcium in the intestines, which leads…

The software quality of Apple is embarrassing. They have the money to hire the best of the best, and to do tons of manual QA yet their OS releases are always riddled with errors. W…

One of the first nasty bugs I had to work on when I first came to Silicon Valley was stack corruption from a fall through of a switch statement. After something like that, you lear…

Did you find it hard adjusting to grade 8?

What about that statement is anti-transgender? If anything it sounds like he is anti-transgender-extreme-activist. You can put me in that camp as well, I despise those that want to…

The FTC should look into Musk's statements about self-driving, how it's almost done, etc. All that does is trick Tesla owners into paying for the $8000 upgrade for a product that w…

As it turns out, you were wrong, and all the ancient redwoods survived. I suggest being a bit more introspective and open to the idea that you could be wrong.

I'm not sure how long you think it takes to repopulate a forest, but 20 years isn't a very long time. As a human, with a lifespan of 80 years, it might seem long but to nature it's…

No, this is simply not true. There's nothing special about these "modern" fires. Some people like to think that it's different because we're around to see things, but we're not. 10…

It's a terrible tragedy, but forests recover very quickly after forest fires. Although we as humans hate seeing such beautiful places get destroyed, it's a perfectly natural part o…

No he didn't, he said no such thing. If you listen to the video, all he did was say he knows nothing about the issues, but he'll "look into it." That's his standard line. He wasn't…

That doesn't apply to ML-370 unfortunately

When I was in high school, I was at school camping event and we were playing tag in the woods. I ran down a slope and tripped, and fell chest first onto a log, right on my sternum.…
