Alternatively, your brain is way more 'energetic' when you are younger. You feel things more strongly, can be over whelmed with all the competing signals and are inexperienced. Maturity does reduce the sensitivity and improve the

Unfortunately, I agree with you. The stone door I've almost given up on. And I was reading GOT way before it became famous on TV. Again stopped expecting a new book. He's passed away now. But I did quite like the British fantasy

At the risk of being downvoted I don't find Brandon Sanderson a very good fantasy writer. For me, The way of kings started well (even if the characters were all pretty 2-D) in book one. Interesting plot with it mixing ww1/dune co

So psychology contains a broad range of subjects. Biopsychology (systems neuroscience) is under psychology as much as it's under biology. That's definitely a science. And Cognitive neuropsychology is similar. Social, developmenta

So I said in retail the dollar is limited. I'm aware in finance etc. there isn't a lower limit of dollars. Again (for the third time) are you aware if fractions of bitcoin can be sent from one account to another? Or does it have t

So the point is that if bitcoin transactions can occur without a lower bound limit (and I'm still waiting for an answer as I don't know) there is an infinite supply. The dollar point feels more like word play. In retail there is a

Does it not? Is there a bounded limit to the amount bit-coin can be subdivided? If 0.0000000000001 of a bitcoin is valid for purchases etc. then doesn't the limited supply become meaningless? Yes, technically you are not increasing th

Swanlove is a cool website. Has there been much response from linkedin users? I'd have thought that men and women might want to steer clear of mixing business and dating.

Good story. Yeah. I completely get why some women act cold to strangers. Along with them having so many bad experiences, men can badly misread women that are friendly. So no wonder. I really disagree with the mentality of hitting on women d

As a man I'd be wary about talking to female strangers. For the simple reason, that I'm aware a lot of women suffer from street harassment and I'd be wary of contributing to the problem. For this reason also I also try hard n

Hey that's cool. I appreciate your feedback. I'm no expert but others have said they really like it. Maybe it's subjective? I've no idea tbh.

Oh. Well you can try on the phone I guess. If thats how you normally read stuff. I might be picky, but I just prefer kindle for longer stuff. IPads and tablets might be good too.

Writers Curse has its roots in the fact writing a novel can have real negative consequences (it takes ages, massive sacrifices are needed, and very unlikely to make anything substantial etc.) And yet, such people can have an obsession to wr

Yes that's a very good point. I was aiming for getting picked up by a big publishing house. These days though It's pretty essential you have some kind of audience first. As I'm sure you know, marketing really is the worst. Af

Thanks for your kind words. Perhaps what you say is true. I'm not sure I'm qualified (ironically) to say. What I can say is that the time, the sacrifice, and then the crappy marketing ploys (no one tells you about that). It's

Unfortunately most writers of fiction make next to nothing too. Writers often are not happy writing either (unlike painters and video artists who seem to have a whale of a time). Sadly I toiled for 8 years on a novel (while working a day jo

Agreed on biased perceptions of the guardian. Rightly or wrongly, there is a perception out there that the Guardian's comment section in particular is pretty left wing particularly on identity politics stuff. Even if the core paper is

It's difficult to comment without seeing your workbook. But broadly if you're developing any kind of useful analytical model you will find the performance fall off a cliff very quickly if using 1 million rows. e.g. waiting around

The million row mark for excel while widely known is never taken seriously by anyone who actually uses excel often. It's performances collapses around the 100-300k mark.
