Good job, you just found out fractional banking is a government sanctioned ponzi scheme.

Places dense enough to have a subway can be commuted through with a bicycle.

I might just be arguing semantics here, but it's possible that the world we live in is determinist, just in a way too complex for us to even grasp.

I'm pretty sure this was a sarcastic shitcomment. People who have a basic idea of how finance works understand that decentralized financial products lead to market making.

They're more complicated carbs with a lot of fiber, they're not eating cookies full of refined sugar.

Gates and Zuckerberg were literally going to Harvard on trust fund money, no effort at all was required of them, butthey had the privilege of resourceful parents with high expectations. If we replace resourceful parents with high expectations by a resourceful society with high expectations, the children that have shitty parents wont have a choice but to do better, that's what happened for my father.

When I need to focus on my computer I just go somewhere where I never use my computer for fucking around on social media. It works great, my brain associates places to websites.

Every one that's trying to save the environnement is doing it because we need to.

You need to account for the fact that energy needs will go up exponentially.

Pay your employees if you want your costumers to be served.

I don't think any one in this thread is saying building codes or regulations shouldn't be a thing, it's more that regulations shouldn't be so complicated that they become barriers to entry, and that common sense should be applied alongside the regulations. Who gives a shit if there isn't a sticker on your lumber if the lumber is of good enough quality?

Most fast food experience is lonely when you're by yourself. The idea seems like it would work well as a drive through service.

At least in Canada, a lot of the cultural lore was destroyed through systematically sending native children to religious schools where they weren't allowed to speak their language or practice their culture.

In my experience business luck and knowing the right people can at least partially be the result of hard work.

There is a difference between healthiness and life expectancy.

I think he means pricing schemes are more simple when you go with a flat "200$/hour rate". Obviously it's shit for the client since they have no idea how many hours will be spent on the case, but that's not the lawyer's problem.

It ticks me off how a lot of managers always forget about how the job market is a buyer's market when they write about it.

The reason why there is a negative perception of employment conditions is because employment conditions are not very good, and they're not very good because a lot of people want to work in the industry.

Except prices for living necessities won't get lower, since demand is elastic, people will just get trapped as debt slaves while corporate stockholders become the new monarchy.

I'm a big fan of civil disobedience.

Kill 90% of humans and our CO2 emissions won't be a concern anymore.

That's the thing with high-risk high-reward financial gambling. When you're always all-in at one point you're going to lose it all.

>The problem as I see it is that technology has made DJing too accessible. Every two-bit hipster with a Macbook thinks that they're a DJ.

This is the point I was trying to make. I'm very familiar with soundsystem culture, I've been making a living from it since I was 17. Obviously there's some good sounding stuff you can do while mixing on two decks, you just gave decent examples, but in my opinion it's never going to be as mind blowing as Birdy Nam Nam or Araabmuzik absolutely killing it on some freestyle stuff. It's never going to beat a great vinyl jungle set with an experienced scratcher, and it's certainly not going to beat some of the crazy live sets people in the downtempo psytrance scene play.

I went to a rave on halloween, and there was these two guys doing a live set. One guy was just doing regular 2 decks stuff for the rythmic section, while the other guy had an mpc, a controller and electronic drums plugged into his computer for the melodies. It was great seeing the drums used as melody, I've seen thousands of sets in my life and I was mind blown. There are no videos of him playing live, but here's his soundcloud.

I'm going to seem like an elitist prick, but in my opinion DJing is absolutely useless if you don't produce/compose. Basic 2 decks DJing is fucking boring, learn how to play instruments and all the theory behind pop music, then figure out the software and hardware to play live sets. Obviously you're going to need to understand the basics of mixing to play live sets, but playing a regular DJ set in front of an audience to me is the same thing as covering stairway to heaven or wonderwall. Keep practicing until you're actually good. All of my friends who could play instruments had a much easier time getting into producing than the people who never learned a single scale. And it's not just the composition aspect, it's all the sound design, sampling and just understand the programs that gets easier.

I would personally stockpile hard liquor if I wanted to hedge for a social collapse. Whiskey never goes bad, it's always useful and a few ounces can go a long way.

It depends on the quality of the water. Where I live there's too much chlorine in it (nothing harmful but I brew beer so I need good water) and a 30$ brita filter seals the deal. In places with really shitty water distillation is a good place to start.

Logic in philosophy is used in a lot of fields of humanities and social sciences too. When you have inductions and deductions based on qualitative axioms what you write is going to take a lot of brainpower to understand. A lot of the academic work in those fields takes thousands of words to explain all the thinking behind something that could be broadly explained in a paragraph.

The notation is the way you write the name of mathematical concepts.

They didn't build their system for it to work with computers.

The Irish and Italians used to be considered non-white. I wonder if one day society will consider Asians as "white".
