In a "free market", I'd agree to do it for the same minus the local road association costs. Sorry, you're out of a job.

Edit: People downvoting reality. OK.

Once I reach "normalcy", procrastination and self indulgence kick in unless I see a point behind a long term goal.

Greeeeat point. Productivity is incredible while you're in survival mode. However, is there a time when stagnation is the goal? I often thought, "If I got rich, I'd do nothing. Sit, enjoy life, travel." But would that lead to the depression you speak of?

I think it says something about the Hacker News community that these posts always float to the top. Hardly a day passes where I don't see a "no more procrastination" post.

What does this mean? Is it that we're all procrastinators? I don't think so, many here are highly accomplished. Is it our fear or procrastination? Is it perfectionism?

Strange.

The problem is, the manufacturers will not be able to follow suit with thunderbolt. So... what will device makers use? The BIG problem is they will likely not even use the same "standard" across Android devices... what is a headphones manufacturer to do?

I've found some data on the subject prior, and I find that it doesn't contain sugar, but acts like sugar, but then that's nullified if you eat it with a fiber, etc. It's more than "what does this book say".

The included adapter is going the wrong way. I'd need female thunderbolt to male 3.5mm. I have to either buy an adapter or new headphones to use with both devices.

I have the new MacBook as well as a (pre-ordered) iPhone 7. I use both at work using headphones for private listening. If I want to use my iPhone 7's headphones, I will need to purchase an adapter that does not yet exist (3.5 > lightning).

I'm left with two options: 1) buy wireless headphones, 2) buy 3.5mm headphones and use the adapter when using the iPhone. It's not a huge issue, but it's not the "just works" motto when I have to finagle a way to make headphones work with two Apple products.

I question whether people will think to use them if they go into their phone for a specific task.

IMO, they will not. I know 8-10 people with 6S/6S+ iPhones and _none_ of those people use force touch.

The services are pre-paid.

Apple is already in the 'subscription' category with the Apple TV. I subscribe (via the Apple TV) to Hulu and HBO. I remember magazines being the same, as well.

Not to ask a silly question, but how does an auto-pilot truck (w/ no driver) get fuel? If there will be a service that provides fuel to driverless trucks, how will the business (who owns the truck) verify the PPG and gallons loaded?

I'd argue the up front cost is much less than $50. However, using the numbers as provided, the break-even is still less than a single week.

In the breakfast example, you can buy a single McD meal or buy a dozen eggs with a container of quick oats - both are ~$6. The latter is much better for liquidity.

Not to mention, the eggs and oats is easy to cook, requires little 'ingredients and tools', is healthier, and will last multiple days (helping w/ liquidity).

Stop.

He made multiple points that "Steam just went live with Bitcoin today" does not dispute. There is no reason for individuals to buy/sell Bitcoins other than speculation.

Drugs were a crutch to the temporary currency. I love the idea, but without a reason to convert my stable dollars to a speculation currency, I will not - nor will others.

What would be the point in buying Bitcoin with cash/card only to use it on a service that also accepts cash/card?

Steam is a drop in the bucket. The only market that will use Bitcoins is hackers that do not want their main acct banned.

Troll?

Learn how to cook mister, just like real grown ups do!

Patronizing. Do you know real grown ups can cook bad foods at home too? Not everything cooked from scratch is healthy!

I'm sorry to say but if you are eating a certain way and it is hurting your body and you don't have the right mindset to change your lifestyle no matter if you are european/american you need to stop eating that.

JUST BE HEALTHY, FAT PEOPLE! You don't need any education about macro/micro-nutrients, food portions, exercise routines, and/or preparation.

I know obesity is more of a concern in america.

Compared to what? There are 10+ countries with obesity rates higher than America.

And I know most of the junk food origins from usa (mcdonalds for ex).

You have to be kidding me.
