Not sure what your point is. The average person should just own a stock index fund. In fact, this is the exact advice that Buffett gives.

The meme of infected usb sticks in the parking lot is so old and known by everybody and their grandma, that only a prankster would really do it, with a parody screensaver virus. A serious secret service would use more up to date methods.

The book Sapiens states that in the 1500s the Chinese had a 15 thousands ocean ready ship fleet, but for various reasons there were not really into exploring. Is that really true? 15k ships sounds absurdly high for that era.

I meant electricity just for the triggering, not for the action. A small electric signal could for example open a valve in the air tube. Thus all cars would break at the same time.

Why not also use an electric cable? Sounds like a problem, since the first car will have to "resist" the rest of the train.

In the last years there have been quite a few cases of journalists resigning from very prestigious publications (NYT, ...) because they were caught fabricating news.

That claim would be highly suspect in general, given that a desktop CPU has at least 10 times more headroom in power consumption. For such a claim to be true, you would have to expect that the phone CPU is somehow 10 times more efficient pe

By default, the night mode on my Samsung indeed barely changed anything. But it does have a slider, so I was able to make it much redder.

I find it hard to imagine how the screen could look yellowish while still outputting a lot of blue, but you can actually check it - look at the blue sub-pixels with a magnifying glass or your phone camera and see if they actually dim.

I did notice one thing on my Cherry-MX brown: I was never ever left in doubt if a key registered or not. On my old membrane keyboard, sometimes I needed to double check if it registered (because I didn't pressed the key quite right),

I was just speculating, I have no evidence either. But it's clear that most popular music is straight, so there must be some underlying factor. EDM music, which is arguable the most dance-able music, sounds very weird to me when you sw

There was this music production software, FruityLoops (FL Studio today) which had a "swing" slider. Playing a beat and then moving the slider made it immediately clear what swing is, and why this word was picked to describe it. FY

At a more meta-level, they basically failed to replicate their own paper (they disproved the main hypothesis). Which shows exactly what the big problem is: you just throw some ideas out, do some statistical analysis, and presto, you are &qu
