Why is this a surprise? It's a technique whose central tenet is to turn a person's attention inward, promoting it as therapy. I am sure it helps a subpopulation, but I'm definitely not in it.

Why do you think this works? I think it has to do with a mental and/or physiological response to loneliness increasing our stress.

I don't understand why people think it is so important a thesis to convince people that a person sells something to get as much profit for his product. Much as it is important to educate people of loss leaders, subscription models, bra

Use an IDE that lets you follow stack traces into library source code easily. You learn a lot from going down the rabbit hole... ... when you have time to do it.

Daily 20 hour water (& salt) fasting reduced my desire to jump between tasks You mean you only consumed water and salt for 20 hours of the day, or avoided these? Just trying to get clarity. Also, did you find that type of carb food ha

This. I blame the medical profession for not better promoting the concept of normal human variability in these traits, too, and educational leadership for not differentiating career oriented education around people's strengths and weak

I can't say I outright dislike anything you're saying, and I do understand your position. My key issue however is that I need to risk assess and budget my life just as you need to do your business. I simply can't do that on t

Yes, obviously, but what is promised to me is still contractual in time and amount precisely.

At the companies where the bonuses could reasonably be that high, I'd probably rather have stock options - because those are contractually mine.

The smartest piece of advice I ever got on bonuses: they are part of your salary that your employer reserves the right to discretionarily not pay you. I consider bonuses of absolutely no account in a comp package. If they are given, I happi

I disagree that it's terrible. If someone 23 years old came into a job interview wearing mid 20th century business attire and hair/glasses while everyone else was adopting modern dress, I think all else equal that should count aga

Okay, but maybe later research validates the pyramid model more strongly than Maslow intended? We like the idea for the idea. Not because Maslow said it. He's not a prophet.

Lots of reasons. A basic one: the government (US) is gonna tax the assets you give to other people on some part of the transfer if it doesn't happen through inheritance, at which the beneficiary would otherwise get a stepped up cost ba

Aim to die broke. Give to your beneficiaries before you die; it’s more fun and useful. Spend it all. Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce No.

I'm gonna share my unsolicited opinion: if you're hiring, you want someone who is ready to do "it". He may or may not have done "it" before, and may not do "it" exactly as you had planned, but he ha

I have to ask: what mechanisms are in place to thwart cheating? Specifically, paying for someone to take all those tests in your stead. Though it's possible to cheat at traditional universities in individual courses, it becomes increas

Even if you could, would it be worth the aggravation of the on/off wait to do this every time you finished with these devices to earn an extra £2.5 a month?

Efforts like this are well meaning, but only treat symptoms. The major impetus for watered down curricula is the very rational fear that large swaths of the student population will fail if expected to perform at the prior standards of rigor

I didn't specifically say farmed salmon was more toxic, just that the toxins we are concerned about in fish accumulate in the fat tissues. The FDA is very clear on this, even if they think the amounts are mostly of concern to pregnant

Semi seriously, I think Musk would use a move like that to conveniently encourage the kind of people he doesn't want at Twitter to self selectively remove themselves rather than go through a painful HR process of finding and identifyin

It tastes better likely because it is more fatty. The various toxins in farmed salmon probably accumulate in the fat tissues though, so not sure why you'd think wild is more toxic.

Well, non-repudiation is not the same thing as non-reversibility. The former is part of a Smart Contract. Unfortunately, most (all?) cryptocurrencies make you take the latter too.

People transacting large amounts of an economy in a currency not controllable by central banks or sovereign bond inssuance is a really serious issue. Parliaments and regulators absolutely need to get a handle on this.

What's weird is, this is the sort of thing that many (not all) average people know because it materially happens to them. It doesn't even rise to the level of elementary professional knowledge that you'd expect of all but onl

We see ourselves as a nation of immigrants. Where you came from, perhaps you had a social contract passed down through generations of the history of your people/ tribe/ ethnic group. But you gave that up when you came here. Americ

Fair distinction. Still skeptical that money isn't a stronger predictor (even ruling out explicit prostitution) but sure, testosterone effects matter to sex appeal.

Muscularity is the strongest predictor of mating success for men. More than money or its earning power? I'm skeptical.

Vanguard does. They make recommendations about whom you should vote for, but vote you do.
