Perhaps you should have taken this opportunity to repeat some of those things he has been saying for the last 20 years so as to contribute to the conversation...

Also a quote by Dwayne Johnson in the show Ballers... though I think he added "drives" as well.

Curious if the name DarkForest is based on the Three Body Problem sequel, The Dark Forest, and/or does the dark forest theory outlined in the book somehow relate to any aspect of their learning/decision algorithm? I would outline

As a Waze user, this has actually been a source of increasing frustration for me. I do not want to save 1-3 minutes on a commute by cutting through unfamiliar residential areas where deaf kids play and homeowners give me dirty looks as I go

I don't know how true this is, but it's something I've found true for myself... I've read (or heard) that your sleep cycle is 90 minutes down to deep sleep and back, so it's best to get up after some multiple of 90

Wow, I'm curious how often your assumptions about others motivations puts you at odds with people? Your assumption that I made my comment to make people feel guilty is false. If you felt guilt and took offense, it's because you t

I think taking a step back to consider the bigger picture and your place in it is a valuable thing that more people should do when carrying on online discussions. While you may not have gotten any value from my comment, it doesn't mea

I think you may be mistaking the individual for the brand. I'd be willing to bet that the applied psychology and ability to retain attention across the world is more the work of her PR team than any individual intellectual skills she

I think some of it is relative. If someone is risking 500k on an idea, then I'm impressed... but that's because my net worth is negative. Some of these investors, and especially investor groups, have hundreds of millions, if not

Yeah, I've definitely felt like cattle at times... especially when I realize that my development team (and what we've built) is a big part of what adds value to a potential acquisition, yet no one on the current development team w

Yeah, though I'm curious what the proper solution would have been. It seems to me that once published to NPM there should be some process for deprecating a module that is then "unpublished"... rather than just breaking every

What about Maslow's hierarchy of needs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs Freeing people from work also "frees" them from the income stream that allows them to feel secure. If y

I know very little about materials, but would I be right to assume this is a genuinely amazing and revolutionary discovery that should impact everyday people in the relatively near future (10 years)?

Too true... which is why I'm supporting Lawrence Lessig's Democratic bid which is based on fixing this single issue: https://lessig2016.us/ Might be futile effort though since the DNC isn't even inviting him

I think perhaps this would be better as a consulting/training exchange... seems to be a lot of criticism related to the disparity of required time/skill in coding a website and making a logo. I'd be more willing to offer web

I feel like Nassim Taleb (Fooled By Randomness, Black Swan, Antifragile) has been making a similar point for years now. Unfortunately I don't know enough about economics to comment any more than that.

That said, I think Humans is the better new show right now. I did really enjoy this last week's episode, but something seems a little obvious about the plotline at parts. I'm hoping the twist I'm expecting actually surprises

Umm... spoiler alerts in for those people who haven't actually seen the show yet. Might be nice to mention that in the title or at the beginning of the article. The paragraph before the image mentions he's getting into this last e

People have always wanted to be distracted or sought solitary hobbies, but what I'm talking about is more how we interface with one another. The way we used to interface with one another was face to face and when you looked someone in

Thought provoking on a lot of levels. I believe that the technology we're creating is cutting both ways. It has allowed us to become more connected, but it seems that connection is at the shallowest level and has resulted in a disconn
