This reminds me of something that's been on my to-do list for awhile... I've been sitting on the lazyfol.io and lazyfolio.com domains for a couple years now. If I were to throw together a slick-looking web app that let you define a custom portfolio with custom rebalancing bands that pinged you when ...

THE ‘1488rs’ Anything associated as closely with racism and bigotry as the alternative right will inevitably attract real racists and bigots. Calmer members of the alternative right refer darkly to these people as the “1488ers,” and for all their talk of there being “no enemies to the right,” it’s ...

NATURAL CONSERVATIVES Natural conservatives can broadly be described as the group that the intellectuals above were writing for. They are mostly white, mostly male middle-American radicals, who are unapologetically embracing a new identity politics that prioritises the interests of their own demogr...

This is an exceptional essay ( http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/ ): An Establishment Conservative’s Guide To The Alt-Right by Allum Bokhari & Milo Yiannopoulos 30 Mar, 2016 A specter is haunting the dinner parties, fundraisers and thi...

I use DigitalOcean or Linode for cheap bare metal servers and Google Compute Engine when I need something really reliable + scaleable that's still flexible. If I have client money to burn, don't need much flexibility, and/or don't want to deal with any DevOps/SysAdmin stuff whatsoever I'll use Herok...

I'd like to make the transition to a GB, but stocks seem high right now. Seeing as I'm already 100% PP, there doesn't seem to be much risk in trying to time the move. If you were in a similar position, what event(s) or price level would you wait for before pulling the trigger?

https://amp.twimg.com/v/b73de87e-2317-41e2-a894-e4d5f85fd14a I had to work with a wildly arrogant and socially inept goon like this for awhile. As our team's resident kung fu black belt, he maintained that if Mike Tyson tried to suckerpunch him from behind, we'd better believe that he'd at least get...

If such a need arises again, I work on web apps all day.

tnt211, look into the Puerto Rico option. In an effort to rouse their dismal economy, a few years they legislated a few new policies that drastically the dropped their personal income tax rate (ceiling of 4%) and capital gains/interest/corporate tax to 0% for corporations and remote workers that mov...

My lady and I had dinner with Pointedstick last night and he raved about your books and podcast. Seeing as I quit my job and started a consulting business a few months ago, we're 6 weeks out from moving to SE Asia and in the middle of giving away everything that doesn't fit in a carry-on size backpa...

This is one of the most meaningful threads I've read on this forum. When I have some time to reflect and write, I'd like to say more. But for now I'll leave this: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/blog/career-advice/. If you don't know him, Moxie Marlinspike is a renowned InfoSec guy that's an anarchist, ...

"I would not give a fig for the simplicity this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity."

I really like the turn this conversation took.

Pugchief and I were chatting privately, and I realized that some of it might be of interest to the forum. If you're not familiar, the somewhat cheesy term "digital nomad" refers to the subculture of people who travel indefinitely while working remotely (usually from coffee shops or co-work...

Yeah, I'm not particularly militant. A few of the people I respect the most are deeply religious.

Meh, I've done this dance before. Neither of us is going to convince the other. I'm bowing out.

Do you expect to have millions, or even a few dozen, following the precepts you establish during your life, when your time capsule is dug up? No, because unless I had a time machine to return to a time of vastly greater superstition and ignorance where I could proselytize to bronze age shepherds, I...

Sobran also asks what other religious figure claimed the power to forgive sins, as his own? Perhaps a unique claim among the widely practiced faiths of today. Sin is a uniquely Christian concept. Christianity introduces both the problem and the solution. If you don't introduce the problem in the fi...

Don't take this wrong guys, but your comments are even more general than those presented the article - which in my opinion was heavy on satire but you would have to probably be a Christian to get it fully.  It would be helpful in understanding your beliefs, if you could specifically refute the poin...

University of New Mexico, BS Applied Mathematics, 2014. Was pretty close to a second BS in Computer Science, but settled for the minor and went to work instead. What type of work are you doing now? I started working as a software engineer at the local government lab a few months before I graduated....

You know, I started responding to that article but then realized that maybe you were just posting it as a caricature of Christian apologetics? That article is astonishingly bad and the author seems profoundly uneducated. There exist far more erudite and well-reasoned defenses of Christianity (... wh...

Hahaha, it just gets better!

Just wait til you hear the term 'heteronormative' used pejoratively. cis�gen�der sis?jend?r/ adjective adjective: cisgender; adjective: cis-gender; adjective: cisgendered; adjective: cis-gendered denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their ...

I've never before heard the phrase "gender fluid" before.  I had to look it up to see if it's a real thing.  So strange! Same here.  "A gender that changes over time."  Gender with time dependency.  G(t) = cos(t)  Ask me my gender, and I'll ask you what time it is.    It seems l...
