I don't think people would prosper under such a system. Free health care, yes, free education, yes. Retirement for all, take care of the disabled, yes. But in my opinion, in today'…

The way I see it, we already have that world, with capitalism functioning as a filter. I worked my ass off to reach financial independence, now I'm dedicating the rest of my life t…

>I've been to plenty of interviews where my CV hasn't been given more than a glance. I have a fake programming language on my resume, has been there for years. To top it off, I use…

>Also, you can't really "manage" your boss if he/she is gaslighting you. This is a criminal offense (or should be, depending on where you live) and must be punished accordingly. It…

That can't be right, can it? That's the equivalent of me doing my job for 6 weeks. Here, looks like the legal minimum is 1500: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certification_in_…

At some point, I tried this as an experiment. Instead of doing things myself, I tried to hire people to do it for me. I tried a few different things, data labeling, custom sewing w…

The era of asking for cookies has already become a thing of the past for me, it's gone the way of autoplaying videos, advertisements, tracking cookies and paywalls. All things to l…

> The way it is described (workers have 6 days on, 1 day off) That's not what it describes. > Eighty percent of the workforce were told to go to work; 20 percent to stay home. The …

That wasn't on that page when I opened it, you think I'd miss that? They were reading the comments here and updated the page after I wrote the comment. The price was $4700 somethin…

>I didn't read all their math but I expect their final result to be off by a factor of 2-5x. I looked at their parts list and it's obvious they aren't serious. CPU is missing, memo…

I prefer mid week days off (Wednesday, but I'd settle for Tue/Thu). I love to have work weeks of two days. I can imagine there are plenty of other people that prefer the same thing…

Do you have any idea how much can go wrong with a human body and in how many different ways? And we're not even close to figuring out all the illnesses. Sure, brain cancer they can…

Harder than you think. It means you need consistent 6% returns (2% inflation, 4% return). There's nothing out there that I know that gives you a consistent 6% return and the stock …

It's called "housing", seems to me that the core functionality is to house, not to gain wealth. We might have comingled it with investing, but there's no need for that. Also housin…

The tale of the Chinese emperor and the picture of the rooster Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was extremely fond of roosters, and so one day he commissioned the most fa…

That goes for all cathedrals though. Just two random examples, Notre Dame took about 100 years for the main structure, Cologne Cathedral took 600 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

Devops means different things to different people. I'm a devops guy surrounded by devops guys and we all are operations people that develop, which day to day is completely differen…

Newer Dells like the R640 take minutes to boot, not seconds. Here's a random video of a guy booting a R740, it takes 1:51 just to get into the bios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

Don't have to cancel it... All that debt is in US dollars. Just print so much money that you have 20% inflation per year for four or five years. Problem will be fixed. It's a scam …
