I was a big procrastinator in the past. But I was lucky in that one of the things I procrastinated with was learning psychology !. As I learned more and more psychology it became obvious how to win over it. I created a mastermind with other

On Franklin not drinking beer: One interesting thing about drinking water is that it actually made you weak and sick in the past. Romans knew that and used wine for this reason. Sider or beer were alternatives. It was only after water infra

Why secret? If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear in a democracy. Turns out people have to be transparent to Governments, but Governments what to be opaque. This is not a democracy.

Thanks. You are not explaining it like we are five, but as if we were humans. The explanation in the article is a non explanation, "look at me how smart I am that could obfuscate knowledge, so I look smarter".

I do this on cast iron. Never on Teflon. You can use an oven thermocouple to measure the temp of your pan as you heat it without oil. If you do it once,and compare with the temps that are dangerous(you could see it on Internet) you will nev

Now Teflon has not C8 on it as it is manufactured. You will create dangerous compounds though if your pan goes over high temperature. This could happen if for example there is no oil in the pan. I have seen housewives and cookers heat the T

They are significant in number, not in capitalization. This is the Innovator's dilemma. If you don't consider a cheap or toy market that is 10 times bigger than yours in units sold and continue growing as "significant" t

"3D systems was founded in 1986. Stratasys was founded in 1989. These are not toy companies. These companies defined and refined the printing methods we're talking about today. What did their devices print? Engineering prototypes.

The title is unfortunate and misleading. 3D printers are in fact booming. Each year the market doubles in size or more, hardly "falling flat". USD30.000 printers are falling flat, precisely because you can do lots of the things yo

Well, yes you can change your behavior, and no, this is not a good idea. We worked in biometrics like 4 years ago or so. It is trivial to defeat this "security mechanism". We had snake oil people trying to convince us to invest in
