Forfeiture is a scummy thing by the feds, but I'll take a 2017 vette with those bitcoins.

How can you maximize before you get kicked out....you always get kicked out.

Not only that, but physical activity plus our mental strain screws with our cortisol levels.

Personally, I used to work out a lot. Then I realized I was getting crabby all the time. I think I have cortisol problems, but not sure.

Anybody refer me to research with stress and and physical workouts and not getting enough sleep?

It'll be decades (maybe a century) before Americans give up their right to freely drive their cars.

The are huge individual american rights to move around freely that can't be denied.

Listen, maybe, or maybe not, there is man-made global warming, but when the left calls for the death-penalty for global warming "denialists", then we know it's the official religion of the left.

The politics of "global warming" is too intertwined with leftist political agenda.

You people can keep on being "denialists" about that in public, we know its true.

We never did "collectively plan" for the future, nor should we.

Rich Hickey started clarifying it for me a little though. I can't dig up the interview he did, but he talked about classes being mini-DSLs and hindering reuse. That makes sense to me.

I much prefer generic functions and multi-dispatch in Common Lisp's CLOS and the new language Stanza - it just seems more flexible.

But generally, I want to think about data transformations and not little "machines" (objects) doing things things to their state internally.

But I guess this also goes to the point why SV is only playing "normal" senior developers $150k/yr?

Unless you're really digging the Bay Area lifestyle (or "I'll get my chance in the next cool startup), why even bother.

Just walk out when you get questions like this.

Hackers are anti-establishment! Hackers are not conformists that defer to government minders!

We're not European, we're not going to be European...ever. We just don't "pop in" to some market while we're walking by. We pop-in while we're driving by or we plan to drive 5 minutes to an awesome supermarket.

Just stop this constant crap about walking and "only if we're like some European village" crap that will never happen in America.

I'd back off these political positions you guys keep on taking.

At some point, judges and prosecutors have to be held account for decisions that are clearly unconstitutional or against the law.

Where are the checks for these institutions? Appeals courts and whatever bodies oversee prosecutors is not enough.

I feel bad for PMs, because there is a role for them - just usually not the role that they've been assigned to. PMs tied down to small teams usually causes problems. PMs should be facilitating inter-team development. I believe tech-leads and BAs should be assigned the role that PMs seem to find themselves in when they're assigned to small teams.

And please PMs, learn what the product is all about. Too many times I've seen PMs actively not wanting to know what the hell the product is about and instead love getting bogged down in process (and of course meetings).

But generally, I think the glow of OO as some kind of awesome panacea for software development woes has worn off. Or at the very least, the way it was sold back in the 90s has been pretty much debunked.

A Bernie Sanders meme isn't reality. Vastly more than 1% are doing fine.

Most of the time I'm too lazy (or consider it too much boilerplate) to wrap strings in classes. But on more than one occasion I've spent too much time tracking down a bug because I passed the wrong string to the wrong argument in a method.

My grandmother tells me the story of how mad she was when she started going to kindergarten/1st grade and she couldn't speak English yet.
