How do you measure this? You can't take a group of 100 people and randomly assign half to 10,000 hours of deliberate practices. I always felt like this conversation had different connotations at different levels. Not everyone can be

Have you watched spaceship earth, the biosphere 2 documentary? I remember learning about it in science class in middle school so it had an aire of legitimacy to it, but that story is nuts, including the fact that it was basically started b

How do you determine quality of advice separate from the source without research? "seeming reasonable to me" is not science; In a vacuum, all you have is one case study that links this set of advice to a toxic culture.

So I’ve seen this negativity towards reducing global population but I don’t entirely understand it. Based on the fact that richer countries tend to have lower rates of reproduction than poorer countries. So why not reduce global inequalit

I'm curious to check it out. I find the balance of figuring out how long to make texts -- how much supplemental information that texts have to be an interesting problem to solve. Most educational materials have to much for me, in an

This is a mess. Something I just thought about, there’s been a lot of talk about the US regulating the social networks, but will there be first amendment issues if the US tries to create rules or laws for how social networks can regulate c

It’s not like the idea that countries shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists is universal. Some countries do choose to negotiate with terrorists. I think there’s two frameworks to evaluate how we should act, one based on Justice and one base

Yeah Padrino is similar, it’s sinatra under the hood.

You should ask for term length and then calculate the minimum monthly payment, because I don't have to look up the minimum monthly payment. I notice that "mortgage" account type is missing. I always think that credit cards

Kind of an interesting aggregation but Wikipedia is a lot of information to try and consume for a "brief history" I do like the tree view, but I don't like having to open up the different sections, I think I should be able t

I've thought about writing something like this. Right now I use a spreadsheet. The "killer feature" I've been looking for is the ability to compare things. Like, if I paid an extra $100 a month, how much faster would

Keep working on it. I don't need it right now, but I could definitely see something like this be interesting, the only solution I can think of right now is just searching for different things in a traditional registrar and that's

I'm not interested enough to pursue it, but I've wondered about a live twitter-like newsfeed that centralizes all your news sources. I like the "emotional feel" of having everything centralized and feeling connected liv

I like the idea, but I think the trust problem + shipping costs + challenge of finding overlapping swaps could be challenging. But this may be interesting for rare or expensive books With the "overlapping was" problem you may ha

I used padrino for a while, because it advertised itself as half-way between sinatra and rails. I liked it, but I don't think the framework ever had enough support to be able to rely on it, and since it's not well known I wouldn&

I mean, Facebook just suspended Trump, so it seems like we are doing something, we’re just arguing about where the lines should be. I don’t think it’s wrong to note that revolutionary ideas both good and bad come from the fringes and that

I’m genuinely asking here out of lack of experience — Is it separate but equal, or is it customizing the user experience? I’m not blind but it always seemed weird to me to try and retrofit visual abstractions to someone who may not be as c

I think they don’t just solve the problem faster, but over time they’re more likely to solve the right problems in the right ways. It’s not “here’s a programming problem, I’m going to start a stopwatch go!” It’s over the past year you’ve

While I don’t care about Facebook, the sad thing about all of this it’s almost always the smaller companies that will get fucked first. Or, in the words of the dude, you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.
