Money is the most tricky thing men will ever face. Not talking about extreme poverty here, the following is what I've learned:

More money leads in almost all people to artificial value, short term superficial happiness, degradation of the soul. On the outside it looks great and shiny, but on the inside the soul starves and craves true happiness. Unfortunately, most rich people react unconsciously by spending more and more, in a desperate effort to fill the ever growing gap.

Longer term less money creates in almost all people higher valuation of the most simple and basic things, which translates to true happiness for the soul. Less money can restore happiness if people are willing.

But there is of course a lot more affected by the money in our lives, especially the ego. A rich men easily thinks he is really someone, a 'great' man, special, gifted, etc.. The poor man will most often struggle with the opposite thoughts and feelings, while in the end it's all false.

If I ever again have quite some money to spend, I'll be very vigilant, you'll see me desperately trying to hold myself back. Never trade your soul for money (or power) is my advice. And if you have a lot of it, use a substantial part to help poor children for example, give them food, education, that will create you some ever lasting happiness, at least, if you can hold yourself back from growing your ego on that.

There must be more intelligent ways to gain acceptance for being gay than a gay pride, sorry but it's so lame, ever seen the pictures? The gay friends I have are nothing like that, most of them are very intelligent, sensible, and nothing like those idiot on those parades.

I am hetero, and I always asked myself: why all that fuzz about people being gay or anything else. I don't need to be proud to be gay or hetero or whatever, I just don't get it.. I have gay friends and never had anything against people with other sexuality, but I truly hate the Gay Pride in our country. I think it is pathetic to be proud of your sexual orientation and feeling a need to show that off.

This will definitely cost me some points, I know, not being gay and not promoting them is just dreadful.

I don't really mind people not realizing they are idiots, if they could at least stop trying to be in power and stop ruling over others. Most of our leaders/rulers are complete idiots without realizing it, that's the worse problem on this planet; if you try to convince them of their ignorance, they react with power, insolvable..

I think it would be much better to make it illegal to have idiots being in power.

I'm on arch linux with kde. I tried ubuntu several times, but I can't stick with it. The installation is a breeze, but for the rest it's not that exiting. Btw, I consider myself as a human being too!

Still, I am very happy with the existence of Ubuntu, helping millions of people moving away from Windows and OSX. This is a huge boost for the development of software for linux.

Good post, this is so true. Fingerprints should only be used as id, if at all. Like 'icebraining' said: Passwords can be compromised and must be changeable.

I am using a mechanical keaboard as well, and hardly have any signs of rsi. It's amazing to see professionals still using cheap and crappy keyboards as their main tool! I've invested in my computer gear, especially; good mouse, keyboard and screen (mind your eye's!).

Type error: verifier is not a function. is what I got for the first exercise..

Btw, keep it real and solve in CS like so:

console.log name for name in ["Ben", "Jafar", "Matt", "Priya", "Brian"]

They will need to put a knife on my throat to buy that Apple sucking nightmare. But, definitely a cool fix if you're unfortunate enough owning one:)

Pensions are (your)savings, done by some large profitmaking organizations. Now all the money is in there they are starting to steal it(of course), with the excuse that the economy is in heavy weather. It is normal nowadays to see them scraping off 10% a year. Those billions are just magically disappearing. And all those hardworking people can say bye bye to their savings. It's more a proof that you can never trust a large profitmaking organization taking care of your money.

Stupidity rules for ever.. ..the people who do it, and the people who buy it..

Please, send your valuable money to the people suffering real poverty, you might save some children from sexual abuse and raise your soul.

Eh, no. The credit-card info and money is taken already, before any response is given.

I give you $10 when you give me your credit card nr, so I can take $20 from you if your answer is not satisfying for me. The $10 for me is for my time wasted on you..

Dude, the fact you propose this seriously, gives me the only answer I need from you.

CSS is pretty embarrassing if you ask me. Maybe it was suitable for simple and small document styling for total noobs, ok, but as a standard for web development it's rediculous and sucks all the way... And the worse part? They are still adding to it instead of giving up and leaving it as it is.

We desperately need a better standard, more in the direction of QML, so you can also talk with a lower level language. If you come from a systems programming language and you want to design a UI with CSS, well, good luck! It will suck all the joy out of your work. Center some text or a div? well buckle up for some fine days of f@*$ing around with position: relative; or position: absolute; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; ? It all depends on the situation, and if one thing changes, your whole design is gone.. ..it's pathetic.

Plot or not, it is naive to think your personal data is safe at a super commercial company like Apple. I see it as the typical 'Apple' way of selling things; pretending what they make is better, faster, more secure bla bla bla. Apple targets a huge market of people not understanding technicalities, this is a typical example.

It is pretty naive nowadays to store any of your data online while thinking it is secure and no one will, or can touch it. Unless you do some hardcore encryption on your data yourself, which is really hard or even impossible with some data like call-logs, geographic location-data etc..

Ip or cookie, still don't see the need for giving your phone number. In case of a crack, the cracker knows your private phone number too, for what?

With two-factor authentication you are happily providing gmail with your phone number. They say they need this to send you a verification code when you log into your gmail account. Then they say:

"During sign-in, you can tell us not to ask for a code again on that particular computer."

Well, if that's the trick, they don't need your phone nr at all, they can do ip and os check anyways..

Business people are only in for the money (and power). Programmers are little artists interested in something that in it's core has nothing to do with money. Programming is about a passion for creating things with technology. The main problem is that most people are taught, and still think, that money makes things possible, while in reality money is the most destructive thing mankind has ever encountered. Money hinders development in so many ways, not to speak of the horror it causes like: wars, poverty, abuse, pollution and much more. Business people do not understand this.

It is a made up title from a big $$$ company to promote their new app, that's what's wrong in the first place. How can you trust a company that uses a title like this to ultimately get you sign their licence and fetch your private data to make money out of it? This leads to being hacked with your own consent and that's why it is wrong and misleading. Try install the app and read the license to see what they want from you and it all becomes clear...

I felt paranoid, installed Glasswire, and got hacked!
