    Not true. It's illegal for something to cost more if you use cash.

    I always carry cash. I'm surprised when people don't. Came in handy when the hurricane hit, gas stations only took cash. Cash is also good for negotiation.

    I'm sort of with you with housing and education but where I'm in violent disagreement is health. Some are born with a terrible hand and there's little that they can do, on their ow…

    How is this even validated or profitable? Companies ask me for various information all the time and I usually just make it up or use an old #, old zip code, etc. Once they have the…

    I don't know the real reason but for myself, I actually uninstalled Spotify after I found out about the P2P feature. There was a noticeable lag when I would play online console gam…

    Doesn't (or didn't) Spotify do this?

    I disagree. A share is worth a portion of the business. That is a defined unit. The share price is what people will pay for a share of the piece of company. Baked into the price is…

    Race baiting comment. Context is key. The article advocates equality and you cherry picked a wikipedia section of a historical and clearly wrong assumption. Look over the wiki and …

    Is it even worth it to post now that this article has been up for a few days? Funny how all of these comments just sit there on a server somewhere. Produced. But what value does it…

    Acids? Like stronger acids than the stomach acid already inside of the human body? I doubt that considering stomach acid damages teeth. Nobody would have teeth left. Large protein …

    Not a developer but the post mentions an emulator being available, why not use that? If there's a bug, submit a bug report ?

    Can't say I have many professional connections either, not a big fan of "networking" in general. However, the people I do consider connections are those from college and those from…

    > Currently, women are overly vulnerable because they are professionally isolated. They get insufficient legitimate interest. What do you mean by that?

    Yeah, that's what I already do-do but your suggestion doesn't help with any of the situations mentioned in the linked post. The post describes interactions that are non-work relate…

    As a man, I'm clueless on how to help. I certainly don't make any comments of similar nature or perform actions described in the stories. However, if I were to observe such an even…

    What your thoughts on states like Somalia and Libya? They are, without a doubt, the freest market feasible. There's no government to control any economic policy. Why are they not s…

    Good in theory but difficult in practice. I only know what I know because I read about it, was lucky to be exposed to retirement planning, everyone else? Not so lucky.

    Terrible spot to be in, hoping I will avoid it with a traveling retirement plan (401k). How do other 1st world countries manage elderly workers/people that should no longer work? S…

    They could be certainly correlated but why would you assume that growth automatically means an equal (or slightly higher in this case) ridership? After all, the out of towners all …

    What did they expect from the survey? Most American work places are not known for cultural or social open-ness, whether for good or bad. Of course the data will not reflect people …

    But you do! You are saying and itterating exactly how he feels when it comes to quality. You can't define what he's talking about in his book. He can't define quality. They're very…

    That's the way I was looking at it. I think a lot of it comes from people not being comfortable with silence so they'll just mention something they notice. When it's silent we are …

    Makes sense, my default is not to ask about it. I've seen very few people with eye patches in my life and I never asked. It kind of relates to what one of my friends recently obser…

    I can see arguments either way to ask about it or not. I always have an internal debate with myself when I see such things like an eye patch or other non-typical characteristics th…
