I really like your idea and hope you expand on it. E.g. let the user choose the intervalls or offer pages instead of chapters (chapter length might be very different depending on the book?). Also, international languages or at least the ori

Yes. The success of the DS is basically that it was a smartphone (wrt games) before smartphones (and without a phone ;)). The brain games (Brain Age, Big Brain Academy - 3 of those games are in the top20 best selling ds games[1]) were a big

the strength of the new Dune was in its sound design. At least that was the decisive factor that gave me goosebumps (I think). But the CGI deserves a shoutout wrt the design of the flying vehicles. On the whole I agree with the article, ear

Munich is top 3 in most expensive German cities. Still, German city hubs are comparatively cheaper than those in other countries (e.g. Amsterdam, Paris, London, Barcelona) and with 60k€ you're around top 30% in Germany. I post these st

I hope this doesn't mean we have to endure 20 years of this name on the nba court. With all this gambling (sports betting) sponsoring of the NBA and now these crypto sponsors, it really does look like the NBA has sold out (also new tri

yes, but France is cheaper/less well paid than Germany (my guesstimation would be 20-30% less). Most countries are, e.g. Spain, Italy, and of course eastern Europe. Actually, 80k€ is VERY good for developers in Germany, you are not pai

Thank you. The articles about this problem constantly neglect those ambiguities of the problem. I'm not arguing that people are good with probabilites (many are not), I'm arguing that the Monthy Hall problem has been overstated as

listen to the sibling comments, they are good advice. Also, think of parents and children and rewards: It's better to reward the child for trying, not for their results (e.g. grades in school). You can positively influence your results

I've come to a similar conclusion: the people who are vaccine "hesitant" are mostly those who are either a) not smart or b) narcissistic (or both). That's because those who are not smart don't trust studies or gen

No. It gives a lot of credit to the original and adds to the conversation with his own experiences with this toaster (because he bought multiples and even used them as presents). Your adjective doesn't fit here.
