I don't accept that someone is unemployable unless they have extreme physical or mental handicaps. I think what the article reveals is that this person's ego is heavily invested in the idea that they are competent in areas they a

I'm really nostalgic about the MiniDisc format. You've inspired me to check my loft to see if mine still works. Thing is, besides retro coolness, I can't think of any particular use cases that my mobile isn't better su

Regardless of how how sound the case for Tesla is, this is a classic money manager tactic called "talking up your book", just a more modern form of it since they put it on Github. A core part of a money managers' job is mark

The hope for humanity is that we're irrational. Yes, it comes with downsides... but it is our irrational nature that compels us to help a stranger even when it comes at our own expense. This is why I can't give up hope.

No, but I will. Thanks for the recommendation! Currently I'm reading Mark Jeavons - The Equity Edge: A complete guide to building wealth through the stock market. It so far has helped me improve my stock selection.

It really depends on how you use them. My favourite strategy is to identify a stock I want to own, enter the market by writing a put at a price I want to own the stock at, and then if executed (and the stock price hasn't crashed), wri

One thing that could be driving this is the rise of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing in the UK, and across the EU, due to regulatory changes. I wouldn't be surprised if Shell's management are aware of ESG pres

Make a decision to be 'all in' on doing it and being genuinely interested in people. That might mean finding venues where you're statistically likely to meet people who you will find interesting. However, don't judge a

I understand too having been divorced and had to downsize to be close to my son for shared custody. What helped is doing away with a bed and opting for a Japanese futon setup where I fold up my bed and have loads more space to work.

As in my conversations with my neuroscience friend? If that's what you're referring to than no, it's all private conversation and private WhatsApp messages (I know, I know, I've done my best to get her over to Signal)

Could you please help me understand the basis for your point of view? Precisely what evidence are you referring to? For example, the subreddit on it seems quite small... and many of the people I know could benefit from it have never heard

I agree about "note taking apps" (I use Notion nearly every day) but that's not actually what a Zettelkasten is. It's really a workflow that facilitates thinking and creativity. Notion is a place I keep tidbits of infor

I answered this briefly above, but I could flip the question by asking, if the other approaches are so great, why haven't they found product market fit and mass adoption? And that lack of mass market adoption really annoys me because I

I appreciate the implied question... why do this? Essentially I believe the current approaches fail to be 'mainstream friendly'. I've started to discuss this with a neuroscientist friend of mine and we are currently explori

It's time for me to push everyone I know onto Signal and uninstall WhatsApp. I don't trust Facebook at all and this was the final straw for me.
