If this were true, people without autism would not be able to apply theory of mind to actors on TV and in movies. Because people with autism lack theory of mind towards others in real life and in media, and those without it have it in both,

Agreed with this. For me, to avoid adaption and based on how I feel, I get on the bike three times a week. I will pick a number of KM to target (1-5) and do it as fast as possible, with the goal of beating my prior benchmark, even by a seco

Our customers are annoyed by the concept of spending $1-2k/person on licenses but have no problem with $150-200/hour billing rates, half the time of which is spent showing them how to do things for the nth time. People are funny l

I am going through this right now. What I did was price it monthly, ask for annual payment up front, and charge more. I am charging $100/month for a drop-in enterprise tool for SME businesses. Don't forget to charge for services t

I think the economy is very positive-sum. In a sense that there is so much more wealth now than ever before, and it is being reinvested and new wealth is being created. The most common instance of zero-sum competition these days is not the

It seems like a lot of people are becomming interested in ketosis diets and being in ketosis. I have experimented with daily carb intake as low as <10g/day, and done a great deal of research on the subject. Other than Celiac I am ot

I think the flipside of this is that the capital class has the responsibility to deploy the capital in a way that it drives the cost of living down. We need more companies that do more with less (technology in classical sense) instead of le

This is the best journalism I have read in a long time, and not just because of how interesting the content is. Well done.

We hire devs in Toronto and area. I barely finished high school but have a lot of marketable experience, but that is by far the exception. Lots of local talent, from U of T and Waterloo in particular. We are the most educated city in the mo

It would appear we are in between the ignoring phase and the laughing phase, with respect to the attitude of the incumbent.

Why not aim it at a shortcut that has --kiosk in the path already? C:\Users\User\Desktop\shortcut.lnk instead.

My rule for myself is that I can achieve anything I want in my life AND NOT everything I want in my life. Not that I am particularly special or multi-talented, just thought it was a good way to force me to cut optionality off and focus.

I agree most with this way of thinking. Money is downside protection but the upside benefit happiness wise is minimal. I think relationships, meaningful work, healthy diet and exercise, sleeping well, sense of community, etc. matter more fo

I think it depends on the circles you travel in - those are the professions the most practical/dependable people from my area went into, so from my perspective they do get status to a certain degree, at least from my friends. There wil

by nibs 11y ago
Disagree. Status is attributed based on "How useful are you or can you be to me?". A doctor and lawyer could be very useful to me personally, selfishly. A software engineer tends to be very useful to capital (institutions, etc.) b

FYI you may want to take a genetic test. I found that my migranes came from HLA-DQ2.5 gene (Celiac) and that my stomach pain from Ibuprofin came from a gene that I have that causes inflammation when taking ibuprofin. And both gave me B12 de

I think this is half true. Really, we are not measuring evil, we are measuring character. And evil as a metric of character is different from evil as a metric of war crimes. Doing things because you can instead of because it is the right th

Yeah, I meant it more along the axis of I'm a hot girl and I can get away with anything I want evil, than war crimes evil.

Facebook is the 90s/00s Oracle of social media software. Horrifically evil, impossible to get rid of and only hipsters use the alternatives. Open source eventually got enough strength to rival the functionality and everyone who could j

Fructose is actually bad but that isn't the whole story. Fructose is only bad when consumed at a poor ratio relative to glucose. If you are eating 1:1 fructose/glucose, you can properly digest and use the energy from both. If you

More victimization of the people who take these loans on. If you can drive one ton of sheet metal 60 miles an hour among peers, you can understand that spending other people's money on something requires you pay it back. The problem is

There has always been, and always will be, class in a society of people. Even among "progressive" societies like coastal North American cities, classism exists. It may be seperating people based on what level of educational attain

I use a notebook and write a * followed by a one-line description of the task. If I create a task, I have to do it. When I finish it, I cross out the whole link. When I finish all the tasks on a page (I put notes in there too) I put a check

SRED is impossible to get, and has been for several years. We make novel manufacturing plant floor technology that is sold inside and outside of Canada and seen as unique IP. Getting SRED is harder than building the technology, so we just g
