I agree, and it has microtransactions or ads or other free-to-play annoying mechanisms. You pay once up front and that's all.

While there is definitely a focus on multiplayer games ($$$ drives all things), these last few years have also yielded some of the most incredible single-player games. Major studios are investing in AAA primarily single-player titles (from

> it sounds like a person who devoted most of their time to training was not considered a fair sport. Amateurism in sports is a complex subject, but in many ways has its roots planted in classism. Its similar to how unpaid internships no

I think another way of stating it is that often times, IQ is necessary but not sufficient.

'Ritual' can be used in religious or magical contexts, but is not inherently magical and is routinely used in other contexts. I don't actually know of any magical connotations for 'vexing', except that it sounds som

I agree, and I think there is definitely space and a need for "women in science" articles, because there are topics that are of particular interest for women in science. The issue that the author is pointing out is that it seems l

Strictly speaking, you're right, students aren't admitted by an advisor. However, often they are admitted to work with a specific advisor. That is, there are schools where an advisor cannot unilaterally get you in (its up to the

I think different schools have different philosophies as far as that goes. There are schools that admit to the department and have students do very little research for their first two years, and there are schools that admit by advisor and y

I feel the same way about my degree. The money was clearly a fraction of what I could be making in industry, but it was enough to live fairly comfortably. And the freedom I had to pursue my interests was unmatched in any other position I co

I like podcasts a lot for this purpose. My mind tends to race a lot when I get in bed and it would take me at least an hour to fall asleep usually. Podcasts my brain just that little bit of focus and engagement that I need to drift off. I u

The best website that I've found that begins to fit this is Zencare. Entered what I was looking for, got a group of practitioners that have videos available so I get a bit of a feel for them, and I scheduled a phone consultation imme

Master's and PhDs in CS are typically not focused primarily on coding skills though. These individuals have a degree and publications that speak primarily to their conceptual expertise, which is important and significant but if the job

I think this is fine as long as it's a bottle problem -- something for the interview that is not of benefit to the business. If a company is asking you to do unpaid work on their existing database without paying you, it's unethica

As far as the screen goes, I presume that warrantee would only cover the original parts. The warrantee for the original parts would be in tact in that case, and in your example, the original parts are functioning as intended. The case where

As someone with (at the time undiagnosed) ADHD, I found lectures nearly useless during my undergrad and grad courses. I'd do my best to try to force myself to pay attention, but after 20 minutes, I'd realize I had been in a differ

Purely from principles, one might consider it important to credit people for the ideas that they contributed. From a practical sense, it gives readers a way to find it for themselves -- contact the author that cited it.

For me as a chronic overthinker, having the cost of shipping paid up front definitely decreases decision fatigue and saves me time. If I want something, I don't end up thinking about whether I really want the item quickly, or if I shou

Overall, I'm in favor of this, but there may be unintended consequences. For one, having it on Sunday seems like it disproportionately disadvantages those that work in retail and food service, which tend to be lower wage earners, as th

There are also a number of small cities that have decent enough public transportation and are fairly cheap, but fall short on job availability.

I agree on limiting time the amount of time you work per per day to maintain momentum, but for me (and perhaps some others), its also really helpful to limit the number of things you work on per day to cut down on context switching costs --

Especially when there are competitors. Its what seemed to happen with Lyft in my area. A lot of people I know preferred using Lyft, because of the morally shady nature of Uber, but Lyft would take 15-20 minutes for a ride, and Uber would h

That's true, though for myself I find that in order to concentrate on something mentally engaging I need to be physically occupied. So walking, simple chores, some types of exercise, knitting, mindlessly guitar practice. It's when

For me, if I schedule something it immediately becomes a chore -- another to-do on the list -- and it depletes willpower from other things that I have to do. If I'm reading for work, that's fine. But if I'm reading for enjoym

Yes, I'm sure there are other factors but the graph tells a pretty simple story. Numbers declined from 2005-2009, which means students that entered college around 2001-2005 -- students that were in high school during the dotcom bubble
