Factorio works because the gameplay is completely original. It scratches a building + automating + researching loop that no other game has. Many people compare it to programming or electrical engineering design - the satisfaction of automat

Really? I'd bet it will cover rent for some of the people in this study. It seems larger than other studies I've seen, but I haven't been following all of them.

I don't think we're hallucinating the overtones here - with an EQ (like in the link I believe) you can clearly separate the high and low freqs, and they sound like different words. So it's overtones baked into the audio file.

I can do "brain needle" or "green storm". Just like Yanny / Laurel, I believe the lower voice (brainstorm) is what is intended to be heard. The distortion artifacts in the higher frequencies just happen to match up

I doubt it's the same cultural effect, but in India head-shaking while talking (usually to indicate agreement or understanding) is super common, and often throws visitors off when they see someone saying "Of course" while vig

Yes, these are capital gains taxes. If you buy a bunch of crypto in a year, and sell none, you owe no capital gains taxes for that year. You only pay capital gains taxes on them in the years where you sell. Keep in mind that in the IRS&#x27

Both points are true: Don't hire a role you think you need until you're sure you need it. Sometimes startups think "we need an HR person" or "we need a marketing person" before those jobs are actually at the po

I would agree that it looks very complex today. But it's not too challenging to learn. I would advise learning React (they have both create-react-app and Expo now to make the experience simpler) from the docs. When learning React, some

Maybe I'm wrong here, but doesn't investing in normal startups require being an accredited investor? I see ICO's as marketing investment opportunities to unaccredited investors. I thought unacreddited investors in the U.S. ar

What do they mean "no one's talking about it"? That's just clickbait, it's been talked about widely that seed funding has been declining, but Series A and later rounds are staying about the same. Just a google searc

I think it's worrisome because it means people are keeping their money in stocks - they aren't acting as if the market as overvalued, even when everyone's talking about it (which could contribute to a bubble pop).

Yup. In my guess, UBI is more overhead to run since there are literally more line items on people's tax documents (there's the UBI as well as the progressive tax that is used to pay for it). But UBI's have the perceived simpl
