I think with words, in multiple languages, but they're silent. I can't actually hear anything. Importantly though, the verbalizing is a later stage of thinking. First there is the thought, seemingly instant, non-verbalized, and fu

Yeah I've had the same issue with Chrome + uBlock Origin. The issue is there even with uBlock disabled. The workaround that I've found is that you first load twitter.com and then paste+go the actual tweet link in that same tab.

Car2go was also running into the wild-westness of America. Like this story about 75 car2go cars being stolen in a single day in Chicago. [1] I imagine things like NYC bumper-to-bumper damage adds up as well. Comparatively it's very cal

The jobs are definitely real and I was careful to not make any claims otherwise. I've worked in failed startups myself, so I certainly know. As far as WeWork not being a real business, I think this was fairly well documented during the

Options in a startup are always a lottery ticket. I would argue that no rational person assigns any significant value to them, because even career investors aren't able to pick winners and instead earn money by betting on a lot of diff

Peers of the field can consider the correct motivation an important requirement as you hypothesize with the pursuit of truth. Also the quantity of work can be important to some, i.e. how much do you have to sing until you're a singer?

The word you're looking for is academic. Carmack hasn't done academic work, but he has done plenty of scientific work. Scientific work is no less scientific if it isn't published in an academic journal. Academia doesn't
