It seems like it should be a no-brainer that if the light can cast shadows, it's too bright to install in a bedroom. I've started traveling with a roll of electrical tape.

It seems reasonable to assume that's it's instead something like 10 simultaneous 2:1 battles, and you need to win a majority of them. That's very different odds than a single 2:1 battle. He seems stuck on interpreting feedba

What makes sense to me is to think about something that DOESN'T roll. Suppose I start in Greenwich, walk - without rolling - down the prime meridian to the south pole, up the international date line to the north pole, and back down the

This is the most important bit, to me: > By the end of the day, we had complete models on the screen, manipulating them with the controllers. Within a week, we had an environment to move the model through. The Black Triangle was a leadin

Al Jazeera is state propaganda run by the Qataris, who also fund Hamas. The one topic that they absolutely cannot provide unbiased commentary on is Israel-Palestine. Picking an AJ article as the jumping off point is akin to picking a Pravda

Unfortunately, given Bibi's single-minded focus on staying in power, "he won't be replaced in the middle of the war" guarantees that he will try to make this a forever war.

The original is quite long, but quite interesting.[1] Reading it makes me feel like I did reading A Brief History of Time as a middle schooler - concepts that are mainly just out of reach, with a few flashes that I actually understand. One

Absolutely. I've seen life insurance referral fees at over $1000 per successful application. Auto Insurance, when the market is soft (which it isn't right now), can sell at well over $100 per CLICK for premium consumers.

The theory would be that given A believes X and B believes Y, A is more likely to incorporate ~X and B is more likely to incorporate ~Y. And because beliefs tend to be on a bit of a continuum, what starts with A believes Z <= 4 and B bel

A less charged version of this is Daniel Boyarin's take in "Border Lines," that early Christianity and early Rabbinic Judaism were largely defined in opposition to each other. I.e. that being "not that other thing"

Arc is fantastic. Their product team is really well focused - the PIP view for google meet that dropped out of nowhere has been a game changer for getting through my day. Going back to the alternatives from Arc for browsing and Hey for emai

To me that's what it looks like (minus the text distortion). The color of the roads is nearly identical to the color of the text, so it's text with a bunch of random lines going through it so that I can't easily read it. From

Interesting, do you mean contrast between non-roads and roads, or between map and text? I think (bear in mind I have some color blindness) that it's gone from a low-contrast road grid with high contrast text to a high-contrast road gri

That's super interesting, because to me the new one literally looks like a captcha! It would be completely unusable with careful perusal, let alone glancing down while navigating. The words all have lines of nearly the exact same color

Incredibly on-point feedback. The CV is quite unfocused, too clever with invented terminology, and vacillates between professional and unprofessional. Boiled down to just the outcomes it could be solid, but even the "focused" vers

I always enjoy the discussion around this concept. I do agree that the Guess label is a little off. That's a bit like saying a quarterback is only "guessing" that their receiver will break off their option route where they ar

I think pretty much all public works projects are now viewed as "political," while military service is not. So we send the military in to do non-violent work. It's considered totally normal that a lot of domestic, civil proje
