Which CPAP machine do you have? I haven't been officially diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. I'd be willing to try out a decent CPAP machine to see if it helps.

I don't find the IQ correlation that important, to be honest. What makes a good educator? Is it the ability to process IQ-type problems? Or is it more tied to some other attribute not measured by IQ, say, emphasizing with students? (I have

It's basically the only way I maintain online relationship with most of my non-technical friends. Most of them just use email and FB. If your only circle is tech savvy folks, then FB's value is probably not very high.

The scientific categorizations of race may be based on genetics, but the racial categories used in the US is definitely socially constructed. We decided to use geography for some groups (ie, Asians, Pacific Islanders), culture/linguistics f

Asian Americans aren't a unified minority group. They're children of immigrants from Asia, which could include Bengalis from India, Uighurs from China, Hans from Malaysia, etc.

It's a tad more symbolic than that since there are still many gays still being ostracized and systemically punished. I suspect the larger point is that discriminatory action is not right.

Probably the most important idea I got out of GTD was simply writing everything down. Now, whenever someone tells me something, it's immediately going into my calendar - the actual thing itself and all its dependencies. For example, Oct 24t

Aren't BMWs German? And no one in China buys video games. They all play online versions. We could stop selling them Starbucks, McDonald's and Coke I guess.

I don't think a significant prize is what the talk is about. It's talking about being paid a salary, being rewarded with extra vacation vs. not being paid and freedom/mastery/purpose. A significant reward past some threshold (which will dif

I don't know why, but I actually read most of that letter. It consistently misuses words and reads like a scam. I found the post interesting only because I'm surprised he doesn't get many more emails like that on a daily basis.

Perhaps, but the likelihood of a sufficiently advanced civilization who could travel through space/time to interact with us becomes much smaller when you consider our civilization as a whole is only a flash in the pan.

Are they Asian American or straight Asian? There's a huge difference.

I've always loved the Segway, but never bought one because it's difficult to find a lot of places where I can use it. Bikes face a similar problem, which is why people in the US mostly use it for exercise. The Segway would be a great device

I don't think most Americans have a problem with truly bright engineers. I think the problem is when large corporations abuse the system to keep wages down. Plus, yes the complaining will always come from the lower 80%; the top 20% usually

I've been thinking a little about that example. And I really don't think it gets at the core of the issue. The problem with that example is that academic disciplines, whether it's due to an inferiority complex or what, have decided to model

Disclaimer: I didn't read the full article. I can't stomach these types of "career strategy" articles anymore. This approach to life in general is very misguided (maybe less so if you just want a career to fulfill other goals), but for thos
