   This is an interesting way of approaching what business people call "crossing the chasm", when getting your product to market. The "want" are like early adopters. The "need" are target demographics. The "u

   I second this. It's basically what I did, when I was the dumbest person in the room. I was also the dumbest person in the room for 4 years. I spent a ton of that time studying,asking questions,and playing catchup. It eventually paid of

   Here is the actual paper they refer too. http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2208795 The title seems to be a bit sensationalist. As they say at the end "For example, Stewart says that because men have jo

    Really even yelp reviews? How much vigilance does one need to not be coopted by propaganda . . .

    You probably need constant vigilance to be aware how propaganda is being spread. Everyone is probably constantly trying new ways to spread it. Truth seems to be under attack in every direction.

    Different people like different parts of games. Some people like games that are immersive and really long like skyrim. Others like shorter games which are more cut down. Other media example: Some people love serial television, other love 2

    Thanks for this. For any people who just wandered in here, like I did. This is a link from the other comments, that you should probably watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

    That is true, but I find it also telling that they haven't actually given it away yet.. . I think there is a saying like "don't count your chickens before they hatch"

    This is incredibly horrifying. I can't believe this is real. How can a person protect themselves from such brutality ?

    I think people are willing to sacrifice privacy for convenience. They did with smartphones,cloud data, etc, but maybe the average person simply isn't aware of the implications.

    Radicals are taking over conversations about literally everything, while the majority of people are being left out of the discourse. I find this to be an insane unproductive trajectory, which only breeds mob mentality. We need honest, REAL

    I'd pay $25 for permanent access and/or an offline version. However I dislike the 6 month access a lot, and it burns a little of the good will I have.

    That was very insightful. In reference to local car dealers part. So states were mainly only interested in the money, but then justified it under the guise of consumer protections. Is that fair to say ? Or did states really care about cons

    What would be really interesting is if Nintendo created a Gameboy/3ds/Whatever-branded phone. I loved the sony experia play, except for the lack of sticks, and I really loved the form factor of the psp go. I would love to see nint

    I gotta say my enthusiasm is significantly dulled. I prefer scientific articles, because they tend to be peer-reviewed, and have a testable null hypothesis. Its also why I avoid books like outliers by malcolm gladwell. Thanks for the recomm

    Nope. I'll add it to the reading list. However as I'm usually short on time, I'd prefer to just read the scientific articles for myself. Do you have any notable scientific articles from the book references to recommend ?
