Probably just trying to avoid continued shorts from wires that are torn apart instead of cleanly cut.

> People rarely prostitute themselves (or others) for tobacco though. Which defines or quantifies addiction?

Because you can walk to an ashtray and pick out cigarette butts, which is about as dirty as the prostitution.

Great! Reddit search sucks. site:reddit.com ftw. Will you be adding a search feature? Even just a simple auto-complete with all the tags you have would be great!

I'll take "inflation" if it means trillion dollar spending packages are more likely to reach human citizens instead of corporations.

If you indirectly contribute to terrorizing people based on race because you provide aid and comfort to a racist, are you a terrorist?

The last few chapters are all about training.

Also why ADHD meds, prescribed legally, are rampant on college campuses.

The article is from 2015, but nothing has changed.

Realistically, I think the US University experiment does a good job teaching this with first-hand experience. Giving a kid significant access to money they'll make in the future, surrounded by positive and negative opportunities to spend that money, and no clearly correct path to follow since the answer is dependent on your personal background. That's a recipe for learning to think quickly. Though, it's like pushing the baby bird out of the nest, you might only have one shot to get it right.

They are a good deal and I had replaced at least six. My assumption was it's just a manufacturing defect since it's low cost and mass produced. And I'll buy the same ones to replace them.

Also note, these are spotlight LEDs that in the past were halogen, and not your standard sized lightbulbs, which are probably a few generations ahead in terms of manufacturing.

True. In Florida, 1/3 of trucks are raised so there occupants have to literally climb in. These are commonly adorn with "Trump" and "Don't tread on me" bumper stickers and even massive flags (because you know, big truck means big flag...)

I once drove one to move something (the cab/bed being five feet off the ground wasn't as helpful as you'd think \s). The experience was somewhat surreal, like driving in an air traffic control tower. Much different than a u-haul (my only other trucking experience).

Edit: oh yeah, they do this to go "mudding" (drinking and driving in a giant muddy mess with guns, so much fun!).

I've had a noticeable amount of cheaper (WalMart) LEDs burnout in less than a year. But my Philips Hue lights have been running strong 4+ years now :)

Blockchain \s

Much. The parent comment reads like a mix of severely lacking empathy and selfish grandiosity. This guy would probably also agree he should have 500+ kids to spread his blessed seed to the world.

What makes you so sure? Personally, that bubble burst for me a long time ago. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love a new insight or even any tips that might give me more of a chance to see that discovery.

Sorry to hear about your ongoing issues. Sadly, it's the same story thousands of times per day, often for people experiencing the final moments of their lives.

The healthcare insurance industry absolutely needs to be destroyed.

One day, we'll look back at this debacle similar to cigarettes, big industry manipulating the population and millions of people dying unnecessarily because of it.

It's time to end the suffering.

This isn't loading for me(mobile or wifi), which I find weird since it's hosted on substack.

Edit: seems like all substack pages are down for me (except home). Not a good look for a service that hosts something so simple to get right. And too bad for this guy who is missing out on the HN subscriber wave.

It's quite amazing to see that people still living so remotely, in 2021. I wonder what most of them are accomplishing by using the mail. Do they have family they communicate with? Maybe children that have grownup and relocated?

It depends on the algo. So not if it's optimizing for least placements to insert that would clear a row.

Yes, because even when those implausible ideas fail, your more likely to learn something than when experimenting on an existing hypothesis with just a minor change.

Mighty is a good idea, marketed to the wrong people. I mean, who wouldn't just upgrade their computer? New software is a cost, even if it's "free."

I'm sure there's a niche, though. Like low-paid workers needing to do a lot on their crappy personal machines.

Maybe he meant to say we're observing the rules via mental systems(instruments) we developed to "fit in" instead of whatever neuro-typs use.

Looks like pg discovered consensus vs non-consensus ideas[1], good for him.

"We don't trust each other so we need immutable ledgers" sounds like "we need more horsepower so we need stronger horses!"

Works in theory...

Edit:

@vmception: If something leads everyone and their grandmothers to "invest" then it deserves scrutiny. And there is nothing to respond to.

I mean "yes sir, that's right, you have knowledge of financial instruments and speculation, very good, now I'd like to ask why you're OK with people mistaking this as a serious investment instead of the quant-level speculation you are referring to, sir, thanks."

Have you heard of blood diamonds? I bet ETH solves that problem with a ledger /s

Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs that would be remedied by improving education for the undesirables, but then the desirables wouldn't have as many of the high paying jobs, and their parents don't want to complain about little Johnny mooching when, you know, the poors are way easier to complain about being moochers.

In this perfect new world do bad decisions also haunt you forever? Like student loan debt, your ETH reputation will follow you through bankruptcy (but obviously crypto-vestors are all too financially savvy to worry about that).

Straw man.

Those societies also existed alongside slavery and tons of other bad shit. So how does that change the value of a functional government?
