Nice. A lot better than alcohol.

With risk-defined option trading, you decide the size of the steam roller.
dragthor | 7 years ago | on: 2.7M Americans Still Get Netflix DVDs in the Mail
So what if people still use DVD players. I bet the monthly cost of broadband and Netflix streaming is way more expensive than a plain-old DVD player and Netflix by mail.
I guess people are missing out on wasting their time binge watching garbage television shows. And yes, in theory you can binge watch an entire season on DVD(s).

Yup. At least in the US we use our infrastructure. In China they build stuff just to build stuff.
dragthor | 7 years ago | on: Miami Will Be Underwater Soon. Its Drinking Water Could Go First
Hysterical headline and article.
In grade school it was dying from the ozone hole, acid rain, and global freezing (new ice age).
Recycling, not being wasteful, and conserving water wasn't scary enough I guess.

dragthor | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are some books where the reader learns by building one project?
Big Nerd Ranch books - at least the Android one

Thanks for posting. Their other books look interesting too.

I think we need more regulations, laws, and building codes. Not!
Over here in the states, the Amish fight regulations all the time. The only way they win is religious freedom. And the fact that they have been building houses a certain way for 100 years.

- Cancel UN climate payments, use money instead on America water and environmental issues. Sounds good to me. Let China and India clean up their own mess, while we clean up our messes.
- Yes. Too many regulations by unelected bureaucrats. Sounds good to me. I'd rather have one clear and meaningful regulation than two "up for random interpretation."
- Yes. Tax cuts for all working people. Let people decide what to do with their own money (spend, save, donate, etc.). The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.
- Massive immigration changes? Not really. The pamphlet seems to enforce existing laws regarding criminal illegals.

My wife and I worked and sacrificed to pay our student loans off. Struggle builds character, appreciation, and gratitude.
