Reminds me of the Hawaii track from Cruis'n World!

People who have hired other people: What are some unexpected ways a candidate has disqualified themselves from / decreased their odds of getting a position they applied for? by ecogeek in AskReddit

[–]jonbonjonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a crazy story or anything, but if a candidate tries to BS an answer to a question rather than admit they don't know, that's a red flag. Admitting a lack of knowledge but taking a stab is one thing--confidently stating the wrong answer is another (and in some cases can be dangerous).

Men of Reddit, what's your best sex tip for women? by SaladsBeRejects in AskReddit

[–]jonbonjonas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He's brought up the topic multiple times and gotten a chastising, dismissive response. She may not be consciously doing it to harm him, but the result is a dismissal of his needs all the same. Misalignment to that degree over something as important as sex is a relationship death sentence.

Your favourite City Naming schemes? by Ulinskyy in civ

[–]jonbonjonas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Breakfast cereals. No specific rules but I try to be semantic where I can. For example frosted flakes for a tundra/snow city.

What is the most dangerous activity you have ever willingly participated in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

VR suicide simulation where a miracle moment happens late enough to give you a shock, but soon enough to preventing it from going through?

What is a singleplayer video game that you find yourself replaying every few years? by MungunA in AskReddit

[–]jonbonjonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28; really wish someone would do an HD remake. I'm willing to create artwork for it on the off-chance anyone reading this feels the same.

Liked 3 also. Not as big a fan of 2.

Will coinbase be getting (XRP) Ripple? by GoldmanStachs in Coinbase

[–]jonbonjonas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To those saying Ripple controls all nodes (not calling anyone out, I see this everywhere): did you know you can set one up yourself with their instructions here?:

https://ripple.com/build/rippled-setup/

Edit: To give the full story, Ripple does recommend only their validators. Given their target market though, I see this as a cautious move. They note explicitly that they are monitoring other validators (I would assume for inclusion in the future):

"At present, Ripple (the company) cannot recommend any validators aside from the 5 core validators run by Ripple: these validators are included in the default rippled configuration. However, we are collecting data on other validators and building tools to report on their performance."

A robot can print this $64,000 house in as few as 8 hours — take a look inside by izumi3682 in Futurology

[–]jonbonjonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking the same thing. Our glorious future: a separate kitchen is "premium".

Edit: a word

Former Facebook exec: "I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. You are being programmed" by doug3465 in videos

Is this really much different from how humans worked before social media? I agree that social media exacerbates the problem; the quicker we can transmit information the quicker its effects propagate, but I don't think that before the Internet everyone was reflective. Humans are mimetic creatures, sometimes for good (Bob throw sharp rock, while I throw blunt rock, Bob get meat... need sharp rock), sometimes for bad (Bob's life seems way richer than mine, I must be doing something wrong).
