Without the "How" in the title, the meaning changes a bit and made it sound to me like scientists were shocked that a single called organism could be intelligent without a nervous system, when of course a nervous system is not an

The types of design decisions I run into everyday at Fivetran that Mysql made makes me cringe. Friends don't let friends use Mysql :P

Humans are creatures of habit and emotion, so there are some patterns one can sort of predict and rely on, but I would argue what most people call investing is actually gambling. In fact, without insider knowledge, I would argue it's n

Looks like you have a paid plan now, good for you! But $29.99/yr seems waaay to low. I would suggest making that the "personal use" tier and adding a third more expensive tier for businesses.

I remember listening to one of his SFRU podcast episodes and he said he might go back and update it but he didn't sound too enthusiastic about working on a book project or that it would feel impactful enough for him to spend the time o

Hindsight is 20/20. Try not to judge your past actions with current knowledge, that's simply unfair. The question is did you make the most of the information you had available at the time? If yes, then there is nothing else you co

That's a nice quote but I wonder if something was lost in translation. "Preparation" seems too "point-in-time", like you do X, Y, Z and you are ready.. which doesn't seem right. Opportunities in life are moving

What type of work will you do with the new laptop? Do you need x86 for anything? Do you need to use VirtualBox for example? M1 does not (and likely will never) support it

I would be willing to create an account (at least for some contexts, like work) and let DDG track me as long as it would improve my search results and I had 100% visibility and control over what they retain.

Watch this TED talk by Aaron O'Conell's experiment if you haven't seen it. Even objects large enough to be seen can exhibit quantum effects. It's not the size of the object that matters but the condition of its environme

Exaggeration sells newspapers and blog posts :D That's what they said about Microsoft but it was able to reinvent itself and get back in the game with new leadership. Intel certainly had its share of problems in the recent years but ha

Would it be permissible to place a giant billboard on the sidewalk right in front of your competitor's store? It's unethical and anti-competitive to try to drown out your competition because you have enough money to be able to do

I have an external monitor with my 16" MBP and it works great. I haven't experienced any of the issues you mention. I have one of the Apple monitors though. It might be an issue with non-Apple monitors.

It's all about the battery life. It had become miserable lately. I wasn't going to upgrade for any gimmicks but 2X battery life (or thereabouts) is a game changer

I have Parallels and my experience on my intel MBP is gaming is not very good on it. It's mostly graphics support that is lacking I believe. I'm not sure how M1/arm support would make it work better but I sure hope so.

It all comes down to the definition of "hard", doesn't it. Seth Godin has a riff on how to think about hard work to get the most out of it: https://seths.blog/2019/02/hard-work/

IANAL but I think it would depend on how such income is categorized. If it is considered as contract work, then no you can't. You can only legally work for your employer who is sponsoring your visa. I agree with DarmokJalad1701, it&#x2

It's a shame, I really liked the "clong" sound the handle made when you locked the 5.25 floppy disk in the drive. IIRC 5.25 and 3.5 floppies had same amount of storage (in fact 3.5 a bit more). Combined with the fragility and
