I'm in the US and was asked to join a waitlist.

For $212M I think keeping the floppy disks are worth it.

The sheer unadulterated racism from the past is horrifying and sickening. Sure, we still have work to do, but I'm glad we've come so far in the last few decades.

I have been a member of /r/natureismetal and I can tell you without a doubt that most prey are eaten alive. Even baboons and chimps eat their prey alive.

I also read it when I was 16, and throughout my 20s. I haven't read it in 10-15 years now. It's something that speaks to you as a teenager more than it does as an adult, because at…

Catcher in the Rye was the right book for me at the right age. It really set a North Star for me as to what I wanted to be when I looked at myself in the mirror. Funny how as I gre…

Can you cut the fuel into small pieces and keep them away from each other so that they don't reach such a high temperature?

I love gambling. I play poker every weekend and go to Las Vegas several times a year, sometimes for less than 24 hrs just to gamble. Even I think that gambling is ruining sports. I…

I think your reasoning is flawed. When you are aiming for targets with a gun, there is no utility in that. That's like saying a basketball is a tool. Neither guns nor basketballs a…

I'm very pro 2nd amendment, but guns are not tools and it's a fallacy to say that. Guns are used to kill something. In hunting they are used to kill animals, and otherwise they are…

Were you paying for it?

I guess I don't get it. CockroachDB is decidedly an enterprise product. There's no need for even a medium sized company to require distributed database the likes of CockroachDB. If…

Unless you're willing to become a software development company, I would strongly strongly suggest NOT writing the software yourself. 1) Can you acquire this company? 2) Can you tal…
