You could look at this in at least two different ways. 1) journalism, and how it’s a better story if the kid is a self-contained genius; or 2) having youth be thankful for mentoring, and to understand little in life is achieved without oth

Two options, not two choices. (Unless you have a proportional representation voting system like ireland, in which case you can vote for as many candidates as you like in descending order of preference) Anyway, there’s a third option: spoil

I've been driving in Ireland for 30 years and I've never heard anyone number lanes. For me it's left/slow; middle; or right/fast lane.

Lovely site. As a wind energy ignoramus, it would be great to add descriptions to your FAQ for the red lines, and curtailment.

They view the framing of the MIT paper not just as bad science, but as a dangerous social tool that uses brain data to "consign people" to being less worthy or "stupid" for using cognitive aids. It flags the paper's

The pics show renewable energy integrated with other activity (e.g. sheep grazing among solar panels); integrated into urban environments (on every rooftop and streets) and contrasted against ancient Chinese culture (e.g. temples). I think

The problem with that approach is when what people like impacts other people negatively. If your habits don’t make things worse for others, have at it!

This is provably wrong. Preventative public health measures against for instance cigarettes and nicotine reduce uptake, reduce consumption and increase quitting. [1] In the case of smoking, this also cut second-hand harm/death from smo

I’m sorry but this article‘s headline/thesis is atrocious. The headline strongly implies there were e-scooters back then; there weren’t. Second, London’s pavements weren’t cluttered with autopeds; or if they were, there’s no evidence o

If “your own cards” are with non-neobanks, they tend to offer poor exchange rates, and add commission on top.

While it seems the Wim Hof Method (WHM) is great for an energy boost, mindfulness meditation actually outperformed it in a couple of areas: significantly higher accuracy on executive function tasks; and significantly higher objective sleep

I’m amazed by how much Gemini 3 flash hallucinates; it performs poorly in that metric (along with lots of other models). In the Hallucination Rate vs. AA-Omniscience Index chart, it’s not in the most desirable quadrant; GPT-5.1 (high), opus

This comprehensive response/rebuttal [1] buried in the article’s comments, by one of the authors of the World Happiness Report, is worth reading. One of the most interesting points is how subjective well-being indicators predict people

We didn’t tax tractors, but we did tax the expanded economy tractors enabled, and built institutions to manage the transition. Ex-farmhands had time to move into new jobs created by the Industrial Revolution, and it took decades. People als

That's not a phone and a desktop. I feel like I'm stating the obvious here; it's too big to be a phone, for any reasonable definition of 'phone'.

No. The aim is to “increase the density of freight transportation in a particular area.” That would be maximum tonnage carried through an area over a period, eg a year. It’s possible more tonnes of independently moving wagons could move thr

Uncharitable interpretation of TFA. “independently moving wagons” are different from a series of linked wagons that all have to leave the terminus at the same time, travel together, and arrive together. This idea would allow independently m

Your last paragraph is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. TLDR: the US figures should be WAY higher if you expand the definition of homelessness like those other countries do. More research shows the U.S. rate looks lower largely because it uses

We're talking political advertising, not all ads. And 'broad'cast advertising is a different beast from hyper-targeted advertising that nobody but the intended recipient sees. In the latter case, political advertising archive

In what way? Maybe you have a different definition of human, but as one myself, and someone who produces lots of PDFs for others, it's absolutely readable. Double-click, open, read. Ultimately though the readability depends on the prod
