Your comment is dripping with insecurity and braggartry. I'm sure your problem is your race, yep, that's it.

The debate around the original asian exclusion acts is kind of interesting to read. A lot of articles from the time are reproduced online. The common sentiment was that white ameri…

I wish someone like Bill Gates would stop doing sisyphean third world do-gooder junk and fund some long term, large controlled studies on humans instead. It seems to me that to do …

> anything other than differences in levels of exercise/activity I've seen claims that having few friends shows up in mortality worse than than a pack-a-day smoking habit. Of cours…

A digital electric pressure cooker is a better option than a slow cooker in my experience. I use one. Pretty much everything cooks inside 20 minutes, even a whole frozen chicken. I…

Food prep is by far the most time consuming and drudge heavy daily task, but it remains pretty much impossible to eat healthily if you don't cook daily. Short of paying a personal …

I've had the experience of trying to read Nabakov and Nietzsche and in both cases being sure most of it was sailing way over my head. I kind of enjoyed the stuff anyway, but as a w…

I tried to do a couple coursera courses and found the video lectures highly inefficient; very needlessly time consuming, even watching them sped up. All I really want is a glorifie…

Isn't this to some degree a matter of fixating on consumer brands? To my understanding Japan still runs a massive trade surplus in high tech equipment and parts and has many super …

You explain the memory locality issue well but the question is how is the situation better in any other language.

How is your example a language thing? Would a JITed language improve the locality of the m_numLoadedAssets variable? I'm not quite sure I get it.

> the biggest gains are made on an algorithmic level I have had a few experiences of simply porting something rather directly to C++ and seeing 10X speed and memory improvements. T…

I thought I was depressed and anxious for almost two years. It turned out I just had a chronic sinus infection. I'm suspicious that a lot of what gets considered as psychiatric pro…

The article says hadza walk many miles per day but burn the same calories as sedentary westerners. How is this possible? Well you go look at the table in the study and the hadza ar…

As I read your post I realized app.net is probably for me. It's like lower Manhattan or parts of San Francisco. People who think the rents are ridiculous shouldn't live there anywa…

This is the most spergy demo of in-humorlessness I've yet seen. I am PC and easily offended therefore beep-boop-beep...

Well it's also somewhat true, and as a quotation an interesting commentary on American ideals which I hold. Whereas the inverse is clearly not. I'm a little surprised people around…

Inside every gook there is an american trying to get out!

Are you serious? Look at any inflation adjusted chart of the US equities market and there are obviously multiple such periods. http://www.angelfire.com/or/truthfinder/index14.html …

The idea that people should have to speculate in stocks to tread water, index fund or not, is absurd and historically abnormal. I also happen think that dumping money into a stock …

He claims it's "ridiculous" to expect people to save responsibly. Yet it happens in east asia, and it happened historically in the west. The story is another demo of this curiously…

Absolutely. Fat white people in desk jobs eat handfuls of soy loaded trail mix in the afternoon, and an apple an hour before lunch. It's SWPL emotional eating.

> people who favor fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes over beef, pork and fatty foods are healthier I have two eyes and that doesn't square at all. The fat people eat packag…
