This sounds to me like a relationship long con. A lot of people are isolated and lonely, not just the elderly. The scammer tries to create a spontaneous meet that seems genuine. If you engage then it’s about quickly developing a relationshi

For those who haven’t read much Asimov and enjoy short stories like this one, check out his book “The Complete Stories Volume 1.” There are some really entertaining and prescient sci-fi short stories in it.

I also question if 7 days is safe for most. I don't recall exactly when and a quick search now yields a lot of random gimmicky fasting product sales sites with blog posts written to generate traffic that aren't scientific enough,

Excellent work! Curious also if there is some reading on how effective this technique is or what made you decide to take this approach to memorisation? It's a little different to what I'm used to (Method of Loci)

Just thought I’d share an example of how this memory issue manifests for me. I listen to a lot of music and use it (like many) to index various stages of life - i even have playlists by year to help facilitate this. The problem occurs when

My dev career died at 35 and is now alive again at 37. I spent the last two years at a startup as a PM. Jumping over the fence into the world of product management gave me a new appreciation for both sides of the process and I spent a lot o

Well said, and I think the idea that in the future people will own less and rent more is discussed quite often. In the tech space this has been true for some time, hell, I still remember buying a version of Adobe Master Suite and later lame

The market did react. BTC was down and then turned around on the hourly that this was announced? Or am I missing something?

One of the reasons that this is quite beautiful is that it portrays the ideal of having just enough, living simply, and being grateful. There is something also stoic about the character described. I imagine the farmer you're telling us

This was a fun read, especially as someone who grew up with those 80s and 90s movies. That said, and as the author touches on, the action/super hero of today is a PG-13 one. Studios need to reach the widest audience possible to make th

> Some tasks require parts preheated for X time, which depends on ambient temp, they use a lookup table for the time of day instead of measuring the temp directly. (Assume this is for reliability purposes) That's an interesting one.

Is it possible? Maybe if you say a specific language, yes, but even then, there are new versions or iterations where whole new features are introduced. Mastery in software engineering needs to be defined very specifically. An example, I use

Exactly, there are always comments about how it's not worth it right now, but that is now, who knows what the future will bring. We maybe be mining, refining, and doing all our manufacturing in space. All our industrial waste could jus

I was into the scene a little while ago and built a bunch of keyboards, ordered some of the rarer customs from massdrop and from manufacturers like rama. Honestly, it's hype culture. The scene seems to attract a very similar crowd to a

Definitely. It’s a finishing touch that can be cosmetic and also adds your own unique flavor to how the car sounds, so it’s not just visual. For me, cars have always been just as much about how they sound as well as look and drive. The rumb

It's interesting because guitarists already have this depending on the scale length you play, which can go from 24.5" up to 28" or even 30" scale lengths depending on if you're playing extended range guitars or not

Not OP, but I think what OP is referring to is the whole 'men are trash' narrative that we see in media and social media sometimes. The Gillette ad comes to mind as, to me at least, it legitimises and maybe even exaggerates how ma

Why does it have to be one or the other? It’s both. We are all human and flawed in some way. So, naturally, those flaws will be exposed or even exploited in a platform like Facebook. The difference between humans pre and post social media i
