I think its a good analogy. Or just talk about the original periodic table. It was put together with many holes, but with the assumption that those elements would later be found and sure enough they were. I suppose scientists of the day cou

I think on a philosophical level everyone should be able to justify their work at any time. But on a practical level this can be distracting to the people doing the work and it gets us into the begging/funding/publishing cycle we&

Both areas of study are basically looking at human nature on the macro level, it strikes me as interesting that they are different fields of study at all. While I think they're both worth studying and listening to, neither seem to be t

Agreed, yes/no questions can often be leading and may come to totally inaccurate conclusions. With open-ended questions you may get a rich answer with a lot of bias, but at least the answer is rich and you can sift through the data gat

Really love the guy's work, he has a lot of credits. What really saddens me is that Rise of Nations had such a bad follow-up that they never continued the series. RTS games always seem to have a tough time it seems, but I'm really

The game had a very sharp difficulty curve, but in kind of a bad way. It was very tough to get started and to get a decent colony going, but once you did you could snowball through the rest of the yard. I could take on giant spiders and har

Yes thank you, the article does contain a lot more info than just the headline. Homelessness is a more complex issue than it appears at the surface. There a many stages of homelessness and different demographics of it. A shelter I contribut

I never heard of Genius until I got into listening to Hamilton a few months ago. Its a great resource for getting historical explanations for the dense lyrics of the songs and even Miranda himself wrote a lot of the snippets. Its the only

Great story! It kind of makes me wonder about my own story to be honest, since I also do not have a CS degree yet I've learned to love coding. I am not really sure what my "dream job" would be though. I've thought about

That episode of Black Mirror is coming to mind for me with this discussion. Once the currency of your profile rating points affects your livelihood all sorts of bizarre social ramifications start to rear their heads. The difference between

I still think start-ups should offer the equity, it helps motivation and retention. But also offering a well-defined bonus program would give a lot of the benefits to employees while not having to pay out as much in equity. Then employees a

While hiring a ton of people to fact-check would be one solution, that obviously wouldn't be very scalable. I think the problem lies in google's algorithm. They seem to be pulling answers from well-visited sites that may purport t

This product immediately reminded me of that 10-story (maybe it was larger) apartment building in china that they were able to put together in a day. Every floor was ready-to-go and all they had to do was plop them down on top of each other

Not OP, but I'm genuinely interested in how this experience is. What do you think of it compared to using, say, iTerm2 on OSX? I've been thinking of switching back to a Windows PC since I haven't been very impressed by OSX in

I was thinking about this when I read about the perfect scores from GameSpot and Giant Bomb today. That review basically created Giant Bomb...or at least helped him leave GameSpot later on.

While I kind of think WoW looks pretty dated these days I would otherwise agree. When WoW was released it was alongside Everquest 2, which was poised to be the next big thing with realistic graphics and a name everyone recognized in MMOs (t

I'm not sure how federal deregulations would help cities install more fiber, are there any federal regulations that would impede them? I always thought the issue was more around infrastructure monopolies in each city. Its not like new

But these professionals are advocating for infrastructure improvement, only to get mired in politics. The funny thing is I can't think of a lot of better, more tangible things to spend tax payer money on than infrastructure repair and

Enforcing visas through violating privacy seems like a good enough argument against this practice to me. What you're also gaining is a precedent to enforce more searches that look through not just your public life, but also the intimat

On the individual level, probably not much. But I think you could help much more on a societal level. Help monitor what these devices are sending back when they contact their servers and report on it. Is there a database for that sort of th

The nuclear family is not always going to be viable in every scenario though and we really can't control all of the economic factors that go into that effectively. But we can effectively control a lot of what happens in schools. Thin

I would question the quality of those longer videos though. The long form videos I usually see are easily made rants over stock video. They aren't typically stories like you would see in a professional shoot. Well-done youtube videos c

Funny you ask this, my girlfriend was reading a biography about Lincoln and noted that it seemed like everyone kept a diary in those days. I said that I should start keeping one in case I ever become famous. But seriously, I've thought

This is what people have been noticing during and since the election, you can't pin down Trump on anything because he is a controversy machine. He says something ridiculous and the media gives it attention and even begins to get some m

I feel a little silly needing to defend it, but the plot is pretty simple IMO. Max himself is more of an observer of the plot than an central character, which is a little confusing, but everything else is a pretty straight-forward hero stor
