Not defending this guy... but RCC is a death sentence. He got his.

I think not selling for a clearly outrageous valuation tells us something else is at play here. I suspect, this is this mans life's work and he doesn't wish to sell it.

When you find your life's work (as I have), you will understand.

Until then, your assumptions that your priorities are more important or valid than his shows your own ignorance, not his.

$225 for pants and I can't choose the inseam...

Anyone know of a of an XML aware merge app for OS X? Something akin to Project Merge?

I think millennials are simply on the verge of realizing that the American dream they've been sold is a lie, and they don't know what to do.

Meanwhile the older generations are screaming at them "Pay for my medicare and medicaid that won't be there for you! Pay taxes to pay my state funded pension! I don't care that you cant afford a home, or medical care, or college! I don't care that we outsourced your jobs and that you can't make enough money to be poor!"

Every human is different, but yes I believe that's too much. If he had said, "I exercise 5 days a week, take 1 week off every 3 months and 2 consecutive weeks off per year." Then that is different. But he said he runs a 5k EVERY SINGLE DAY, and that is far too much abuse for a human body. The most insidious symptom of overtraining syndrome is a compulsive need to exercise.

If this individual is overtrained, his body will find a way to stop him. He will become ill from immune suppression or injured from the constant stress that never fully heals, or too depressed to exercise at all.

Body builders have a saying something like, "Muscles are made in the bedroom and the kitchen."

If by "Vicious Utilitarianism" the author meant "AOL no longer wishes to provide free service users aren't interested in and that will not remain profitable" then yes, that's vicious.

First of all, introverts are not "assholes" -- they're just different. About one quarter of the population are introverts but about half of all "gifted" people are introverts. Most introverts learn to cope in an extrovert world by becoming "actors" -- learning how to interact with extroverts -- but some do not.

Introverts have physically different brain organizations and may grasp for words at times. They tend to dislike self promotion -- they perceive it as fake, and also dislike having attention drawn to them. They generally think a lot and say very little. They tend to focus on details quite a bit.

Introversion isn't a single dimensional thing, it's a cluster of dozens of tendencies brought about by this alternate brain organization.

Yep, the truly brilliant folks are very bad at social skills / marketing themselves. They're usually introverts so although they're making critical contributions THEY'RE NOT RUNNING AROUND TELLING EVERYONE HOW GREAT THEY ARE.

Generally if someone is telling me how great they are, I assume they're not.

The technology itself works quite well. I did not like feel of the pen. The roller was approximately bic quality which is unacceptable for a $200 pen. My pen died after a couple years of virtually no use. It would probably require a redesign of the pen, but I find I prefer gel pens nowadays and wish there was a gel pen insert.

If you REALLY REALLY need to take notes during meetings, its the best thing ever. I find in most meetings however, there's probably one or two facts I really need to know. I decided that instead of taking notes I would just stop caring about meetings. I enter those one or two facts into evernote on my phone and I'm done with.

What are the best options for backing up DO externally?
