When the law fails its people, the people have no choice but to take the law into their own hands. What good are courts, if a perpetrator is never brought to justice? It leaves no choice, but to resort to a very primal form of justice: kill

No it is not. Here’s why: Hackernews is more accurately called a forum, and forums have been around way longer than social media. The key defining aspect of a social media platform, is that the members are minting social currency and buil

There is only one way to beat the paradox of choice: fall in love. Then, it won’t matter that there are richer, more attractive, more intelligent options out there: you love what you love and that’s what you should pursue, and when you get

I wouldn’t doubt that maybe there’s also some condition where people can’t see physical images at all. Like they know where stuff is because signals go to their brain but if you ask them to describe what they are seeing they can’t, they see

The number one thing people fail to truly take advantage of is the triple tax advantage of HSA accounts. So powerful. Even better is that you can save medical receipts throughout your life and withdraw all that money for any purpose in the

In general, you should avoid putting people in positions where they have to admit their inadequacy to fulfill your preferences. A better question is to first ask what they have, and see if there is reasonable expectation they can fulfill so

40s have very little experience with tech? Those were the people who practically invented tech as we know it today. Most AI researchers are in their 40s and 50s, and have been experimenting with machine learning and AI for the past decades.
