It could be that parenting isn’t as much of a factor as growing up poor.

I've had a couple of co-workers who admitted to me they were always high. And, the CEO was even sometimes high. A lot of drug users just want to work harder and longer.

Something you learn from your parents, maybe? I grew up poor and didn't have access to parents, so I had to figure out things on my own, by trial and error, unfortunately. And, it took me 40 years to figure out that basic lifestyle imp

How do you deal with the social tension of telling your kids the truth about Santa, etc.? My wife convinced me that if we didn't conform, then all other parents in the area would dislike us. Interestingly enough, when a classmate'

I at least expect countries to put processes and preventions in place so it won't happen again.

Is that true? I seem to remember reading an RFP and a proposal from EcoHealth Alliance to do the work and it mentioned 'gain of function'

I used to Google things, but then it started returning false information. 75% of the time I use Google, and it summarizes the answer to a question at the top of the results page, it's erroneous. So, which is better?

There were a lot of neurodivergent and highly functional people who used to mask their behavior with much mental effort. Now, one can be neurodivergent and not face (as much) discrimination. Nowadays, it’s generally more acceptable to be di

It's a tough battle. If you only consider the wealthiest countries, homelessness strongly correlates with nominal GDP. But, reducing GDP would probably create more homelessness.

I can’t see how that perspective holds. I’ve learned a ton already. Right now, I’m learning algebraic topology. And, I’m in my 50s with a 1 in 20 intellect. Sure, sometimes it leads me astray but generally it keeps course.

Google and others had similar products which were never released. No wonder why. There are literally billions of people that can be empowered by these tools. Imagine what will result when the tens of thousands of “one in a million” intellec

the US military have been caught off guard several times with newer tech, showing that they’re actually well behind the curve. I don’t think there’s much evidence that they have any advanced tech.

12? I believe it. In some cultures (like mine), it's almost a rite of passage if you have older siblings or friends, sadly. Also, it's hard to say how much is self-medicating from poor living conditions, health problems, heritable

There are a lot of other reasons why prisons exist (safety, money, jobs, etc.). One big one: applying power, usually to an weaker group. Cause, that's just what Homo Sapiens do.

While we probably can’t completely fix it, shouldn’t we still try?

Knowing how much home renovations cost, why would a megadonor stop at “tens of thousands of dollars”? Can you really buy a vote for that little?

I don't know if TDD is effective. It seems effective on my single-person projects, less so on multi-person projects. However, TDD is pretty effective in working with chatGPT. I always tell it to write the tests first.

depends on the type of game. For 2D games libGDX is actually a pretty nice framework. Slay the Spire was written using it, and what did it gross like 100M?

interviews you have to study for. Before the 2010s, every interview I went to took 2 hours. You had a meeting with the manager and one with the team. They’d decide pretty quickly and give an offer. simpler times. No hazing

I’m mid-40s. 40 is such a mystical number. Almost immediately after I hit 40, interest in me dropped 95%. I’ve interviewed at 4 places since, but I’m 0-4. That’s mostly my fault. I never adapted to the new style interviews. I still expect t

I feel like anyone who demonstrates responsibility for themself should be given the right to vote. So, maybe even as young as 11 or so. But, that would never happen.

You just blew my mind. Dweck's theories are used all over the corporate-sphere. Here's the article (the wikipedia link 404d): https://web.archive.org/web/20210216192213/https://www.spect...

If they could replace the infotainment software and re-design all of the knobs and buttons, I would give my ID.4 a 9/10. That said, I have a X4, too, and I prefer driving the ID.4.
