It hasn't aged well in some other ways. I was a die-hard Tolkien fan from an early age -- I think I read LotR at around age 10 or so. But ... it's kind of hard to read to your beautiful brown daughter when you constantly have to s

Just going off of general chemistry knowledge, vibration may be speeding up the chemical reactions that are happening in the wine (aging). Same as stirring. EDIT> For a reaction A + B -> C, the more chances molecules of A and B have t

Do you have any data or evidence to support your claim that workers on Mechanical Turk are a representative sample of Americans? This is an extraordinary claim, given the incentives of the platform. Think like a hacker, or a poor person in

I thought Russia had good GPS-jamming technology. I guess like many "I thought Russia had ..." statements, we're learning how real and/or widely deployed various capabilities are.

We were talking about vaccines. It's somewhat disingenuous to start talking about abortion. That said, the fundamental disagreement w.r.t abortion is whether or when a fetus is a person with the same legal protections as a born child,

No one is an island. You can't have total bodily autonomy if you want to live around other humans. It's an unreasonable and selfish stance. If you want to self-isolate in the woods, fine. We should have a way for people to do that

I love that this exists, and that there are people just relatively quietly making these things happen. Contrast this to how we as developer feel pressure to monetize, or to grow, or to something short term . It's a bit of a shock to m

I have ADHD - mostly inattentive. I'm 46. I was diagnosed in my early twenties. I had never heard of ADHD, but a friend who had been diagnosed with it sounded like he had a lot of overlapping issues. I skipped three grades (middle scho

It can be simultaneously true that ADHD is over-diagnosed (in some cultures), and also that people can benefit from treating what we currently understand as/call ADHD. It can be simultaneously true that ADHD has no positive consequence

The thing is that last D. A mental difference is not necessarily a disorder. That depends on severity and extrinsic factors. E.g. there are cultures where punctuality is not really a thing. I'm not saying we don't gain many bene

Thanks for writing this! It's interesting and useful to me. I've been thinking about a personal "math helper". My context is that I have an engineering background and am currently studying physics. Your "inert expre

My 2017 MacBookPro laptop swings from 12GB free to 600MB free back to 12GB for no apparent reason, while giving me warning notifications of low disk space that I can't turn off. The only reason I have 12 GB free instead of 3-4 is that

Maybe the math, but not necessarily the physics. It's a matter of specialization and perseverance. Think of all the thousands of physicists keeping CERN running. These people are smart, know a lot, and have worked a lot of problems, bu
