Thanks for this. Would that "slowing down" harm the device though? Obviously, I should err on the side of higher wattage, but if the power adapter provides lower wattage than is required, would that harm the device?

I love this and have considered doing it myself. However, what worries me is whether using a single power adapter will shorten the life of devices which require different levels of wattage. Sure you can use the same USB-C cable, but the ben

Do you know if they do this for their non-drivers? Imagine if they did this with strategists, pit-stop crew etc.? I bet it's not just athletic performance which is impacted, but cognitive performance too. If you or your friend at McLar

Sure, it's not necessary, but it is convenient. Athletes train in the off-season, so teams and sportspeople alike would not want their training disrupted knowing that it would probably negatively impact their performace next season whe

It would be interesting to see a similar study on motorsport drivers. You would be able to measure athletic performance more accurately because you're measured against a stopwatch. There are also fewer external factors than basketball

> why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable? The issue is less tangible and less quantative that that. It's about trust and public buy-in. If vaccine is rolled out despite not fully understandin

It will be interesting to see if this lost year materialises in students. It seems true that as students have had less contact time with a teacher, done less work, or set less-rigorous work, then average attainment will be lower. If student

Allowlist/denylist is clearer and more intuitive. This same pattern (bias free communication resulting in clear communication and less injustice) can be seen in other areas. I wrote this yesterday after Microsoft added a bias free comm

How have you found yourself organising your big text file? Do you use tags to make searching easier? Do you date things? What's the best way to go about it in your eyes?

Sure, to be clear, I meant using a big txt file as a place where you store notes from books, or your own ideas. Sure, you can also use it as a calendar or other organisational tasks as well, but is Zettlekasten better than a big txt file fo

I wonder what the proportion is between pre-pandemic debt (fuelled by quantitative easing and low interest rates seemingly)and debt accrued during the pandemic? Is it that the pandemic has uncovered a long-standing problem of high corporate

Is Zettelkasten better than 'the big .txt file'? [1] Sure, the example here is about productivity, but I know it can be used for general notes. Anything from your to do list, to notes from books, to ideas you want to remember. You

At least in the UK, its laws and people would be better served if bias-free communication is rigorously used when lawmaking. The Land Registration Act 2002 an example of statute law which unnecessarily and frequently uses gendered words. [1

Sure, I tried to make the focus of my comment on the rarely talked about benefit of skilling people up as a positive externality, rather than to give credit to HS2 specifically, but I probably didn't do this well enough. Skilling up pe
