Do you have any tricks on suppressing verbalization? I've found that it feels really wasteful when I realize that half my thoughts are just acting as a translator for the abstract side, instead of keeping it abstract until I get to som

This is interesting, because this is close to how I'd describe my thoughts. Occasionally I can go fully abstract with good focus, but most of the time I'm monologuing. Do you ever find yourself struggling to switch over to abstrac

In theory, the electric car should require less long term maintenance as well, as there are dramatically fewer moving parts. These items wouldn't emerge in the first five years (and you probably have less to worry about in a Toyota) bu

Of the e-scooter startups I've tried, Lime is my favorite. In my smaller city (Indianapolis) we just have Bird and Lime, and Bird's restrictions on hours, locations, and parking make them very difficult to use (They turn themselve

It doesn't seem they're questioning the data, they're questioning the motives of the title, and the implication that the housing should be redistributed to the homeless. I absolutely disagree with their position, but I can se

Homed by a process that the United States also doesn't have and would need. It would be dishonest to compare the rates without including the cases that Finland has already solved through a similar (but not as far reaching) program.

Yes. Same deal with Eggs, and why they have all the candy at the registers. And why they rearrange the store occasionally.

Funny anecdote from using Socket.io for the first time several years ago. Some friends and I were building a fairly standard CRUD webapp, and we misunderstood some Socket.io documentation, thinking it handled the session separation under th

Apple seems to have given non-answers, or entirely avoided, several questions on here. Is this par for the course on probes, was information redacted, or are there going to be consequences for Apple here?

If somebody could tell you when, they would be able to massively profit from this. Current thought from finance industry are leaning towards a crash next year, but I don't think anyone would bet the farm on it.

They've definitely caught on. Depending on the community, lots of bots are appearing to shill for specific brands, some better than others. Example: /r/malelivingspace has a big interest in Eames Lounge Chairs, and every time

I don't think OP is referring to Apple's permanent inability to be reliable, but rather the current MBP series. That keyboard is atrocious, and there is no alternative to it. Maybe the 2020 MBP design refresh will fix the issues,

This is anecdotal scaremongering. There is no correlation between vaccines and any of the side-effects you've claimed. This has been debunked repeatedly. Autism, seizures, and allergies are often associated with vaccines because they a

Nobody besides Apple knows the exact reason(s), but I'd guess it's because they determined that enough users were attached to the ecosystem that they could upsell more of them on a larger/more-expensive phone, than they would

Perhaps I phrased it poorly. It's only certain groups (largely separated by income), but unless they're a celebrity, it seems to largely taper off at extreme levels of wealth, where brands become 'subtle' again.

There's a large cultural difference here, and from my experience, Germany is the exact antithesis of American brand culture. In America, among many groups of people, brands are social signaling on how important/wealthy you are. It

The demographic argument is what I'm going with. MacOS is 18%, compared to Windows at 74% [1]. When comparing the mobile statistics, they're bouncing around 50%. The iOS pool would be a much larger pool to attack than MacOS, and
