I wonder if the USA will ever build and modernize its infrastructure? We're still coasting on what was built 50, 60, 70+ years ago. Then you travel to the rest of the developed world, and wow, what a difference in infrastructure.

Why does that matter? Did the immense size of China prevent them from building high speed rail? Ignoring that for a moment, high speed rail between major cities and population centers is where it would be most beneficial anyway.

Always fun to remember that the Great Red Spot is basically the size of our entire planet Earth. That must be one hell of a storm.

Putting aside all of the technical fun, from a pure reader perspective of any website sometimes I miss just simple boring HTML with a bit of CSS to make it more pleasant and readable. I don't know about anyone else, but particularly

I wonder how ubiquitous this behavior is? And how often it applies to reversed gender and same-sex scenarios as well? Do general demographics play a role? In any given male or female dominated industry, is the less dominant gender more like

It doesn't matter what you think. What are the other sides of the statements you make? We need to hear hear them out and debate them as well. You assume that so-called "freshmen physics" is a legitimate source of material and

This 'consensus' approach is biased from the start, because it automatically gives a benefit to the so-called "scientists" as if they are somehow more wise or knowledgable about anything any more than a soothsayer or eve

I find Google Assistant to be very good at answering most questions. Also, I can accurately get the weather from Siri most of the time.

Maybe they could launch a program to 'critique' cancer? Is cancer actually bad? Does anything actually cause it? Is it even real? Let's hear both sides of this debate.

Sounds like a nice gravy train for the company.

I take this same "both sides" approach to gravitation in particular. Gravity is subtle and easy to misinterpret but to the average person, myself included, the arguments made by both "sides" are equally convincing.

Can they launch a program to critique thermodynamics, gravity, planetary motion, and evolution too?

Great read. The indiehackers site is full of interesting interviews and stories, well worth all of them as there is always something to learn.

Why should it be a requirement? Should plumbing be a requirement? What about electrical engineering, economics, cooking, or basketweaving? Maybe a better approach is to have it as a required elective offering, and let interested students fi

"Thought Leader" and "Influencer" are terms that make me cringe. Anytime I see those labels on someones bio, resume, twitter profile, etc, I can't help but roll my eyes.

> when the most likable people come into your life when you least expect it. There is often truth to that, but you have to put yourself into scenarios where that is more likely to happen. Be social, meet as many people as possible, etc.

I think anyone who has been single long enough to experience the soul-draining tedious world of modern dating could understand and appreciate a way to optimize any part of matchmaking. Also, I think "speed dating" is just a less g

> Going on 150 dates and not finding a single match tells me that you are shooting outside of your league. Total nonsense attitude. You should never feel "outside of your league" for many reasons, particularly since you never k

You seem confident that you know more than the authors of the papers referenced. Since you're obviously passionate about this topic, what are your qualifications and where do you do research? Have you studied this subject specifically

I don't see much of a problem. You are paid to do a task. Is the task getting done, and at the expected quality level? That is what matters, is it not? Aside from that, if you can automate your job, you could likely create a service or
