$3900 is our max target, but we could buy a second car for that.

I wonder how much cost plays in, I mean, my fiancée and I are adult middle class millennials and we’ve been saving for two years to have a wedding, and we’re planning a relatively …

I read the article, and I’ve been spending the past 20 minutes looking at the SPA framework. I’m still not sure what it is or why anyone would use it. It looks extremely complicate…

I ride my bike to work every day. It’s a 25 km journey, so with 250km a week I think I ride quite a bit. The fastest I’ve ever gone was 58,8km (ran out of hill before I got to 60) …

Very true, and I do still prepare for presentations. For me though, the side effect of practice has been how I can now naturally put my thoughts to speak and deliver the points I w…

Practice, practice, practice. I used to be unable to do presentations, unless I had practiced them out loud twenty times in the days before the presentation. I wouldn’t write a scr…

In what world would you close a billion dollar income stream to “win”?

What have you won? China running out of things to tax, doesn’t mean America has actually gained anything. America was stronger, but that doesn’t create jobs.

I think it’s sexists, but I also think that targeted advertising should be allowed as long as Uber hires women drivers who want to drive for Uber. I think there will certainly be s…

The problem with these American views into Scandinavia is that they are always political. I mean, do you even have non-biased news over there anymore? I say this, not because the a…

Don’t modern mining pools work exactly like coin voting? The entry level is buying hardware instead of digital tokens, but it’s not like proof of work is a democratic process anymo…

Do the galaxy models have headphone jacks?

This, I see people calling the removal of the headphone jack a colossal failure, but if phones are selling, then how can it be a failure? People have a natural resistance to change…

I think they are highly overrated and underrated at the same time. I think that useful opinions based on the practical experience of making stuff work, are extremely undervalued. A…

I’ve picked up node and js more seriously recently, coming from .Net and C# and I’ve been wondering why people in my learning material are relying so much on third party libraries …

I view any digital distribution platform where your content is tied to the platform itself as renting rather than buying. Makes things much simpler. That's why it was so dishearten…

The story isn’t about immigrants, they are still willing to work the jobs, as you point out. Instead it’s an example of how the narrative of “if immigrants didn’t cause low wages t…

It’s more complicated than that though. In Denmark where I live, we have trouble staffing certain industry jobs. Jobs like gutting, freezing and packing fish or general slaughter h…

I guess the outtake is that it's better to read the book than the article about the book. :)

Is Fidesz really a comparison point though, for anti-establishment parties? They held power in 1998 and they saw their biggest increase in votes in from 1998 to 2002. I mean, you d…

I don't think I agree with the article. Not from a European perspective. I'm Danish and we've had anti-establishment parties all my life on both the left and right side of the poli…

I think context is king with these articles. It’s not a sneak peak into the lives of the wealthy, it’s a peak into the very vip section of a casino. The article itself is written m…

You have a point. I work in the public sector though. Last week I facilitated workshops to analyze how the administration can better implement an IT system as well as the organizat…
