Lamp lights are not dependent on whether you can see them or not, unless they are programmed to. The state of an individual person’s consciousness has no bearing on whether the sun is shining or not. Refrigerator lights turn off when the do

There are different types of intelligence. I’m good at cooking but bad at math. Some people excel at physical endeavors but might have difficulties with language. “Poor intellect” means nothing at best. “Poor language skills” more effective

It’s unclear to me whether you’re defending the massacre or what your argument is. It was set off by an arson. Ok. Are you implying that the reaction was justified?

On the topic of parents, I’m second generation immigrant. All of my family grew up in other countries, in poverty. None of them have ever developed cavities and such. I’ve never seen my parents ever express any craving for sweets. I once qu

You summed up my unease about the Austrian School. In my mind it’s on par with the feeling that someone claiming to be an Objectivist gives me.

Maybe, but probably not as fast as Google was aiming for. There don’t seem to be any direct numbers from Google, but some sources have reported that they missed active user targets by “hundreds of thousands”. https://www.extremet

The alternatives are either fully open repositories (although a slightly motivated programmer can easily view the source of any extension) or a walled garden a la Apple app stores. Am I missing something here?

It would take me some time to dive into the prevalence of abusive “therapies” or what every day life is for autistic people in China. I did find this report about a rehabilitation center that forces autistic children to walk 19km (12 miles)

As I began reading that comment I assumed it was a satirical response but it seems the user actually believes humans can “purge” emotions.

In middle school, my orchestra teacher taught “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice, makes perfect.” It’s a lot easier to perfect atomic-level techniques than an entire composition. She also taught us not to “stop and start over”

If this article resonates, you might enjoy the film American Pastoral. The protagonist deals with his precocious daughter and her struggle to live her existential and political intuitions.

There’s a few movies that I’ve watched so many times I can basically replay them back scene-for-scene on command. If I get struck by something that reminds of some dialog, my brain suddenly starts playing the entire scene, like laying out t

I was curious about this too. Hopefully someone with firsthand experience will correct me/add on to my comment. I hear about insulin a lot but I’ve never gotten an idea of how dosage works. What I found: 1 unit of insulin will cover 10

I recently learned a trick to fall asleep faster. The theory is that sometimes we have trouble falling asleep because we’re stuck in that “logical mind” mode, ie verbalizing thoughts in our head, thinking about concepts, etc. The trick is t

The presentation of this article is really nice. I’ve only seen it on mobile. It feels like a reading experience. There was one weird thing with a paragraph’s font that was suddenly bolded. It had a link in white without text decorations, b

I expected a discussion about a productivity technique. My first thought was, “Everyone says multi-tasking is bad, though. Maybe this will vindicate my bad habits!” The article is about machine learning.

It’s not clear what the requirements are for being accepted. I’m assuming each candidate is vetted before they get help. For example, is this targeted at software engineers, or any type of professional? What’s the price of the service? If a

OP mentioned not “showing up”, not “putting in effort”, not doing homework and disruptiveness as indications that a child is a loser and not worth the resources it would take to make them productive adults. All those things are either signs
