Bad habit to use the word 'we' where you mean I and even worse habit to assume you know what your 'loved ones' want. Everyone who speaks this way sooner or later makes the discovery, almost always painfully, that their n

Not clear what you need. Different products have very different needs. Are you saying the company has asked you to build something based on what competition is doing and you want to build something else?

Journos seem to be doing two things for their readers - meeting psychological needs or meeting informational needs. This is the age of Info and whats missing is rankings based on specific needs of the reader. On Stackoverflow its easy to fi

Rationality has an upper bound that gets hit when dealing with certain types of problems, while irrationality causes progress with those same types of problems. That won Herbert Simon his Nobel Prize - https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

It's a force but its only one force in a wide buffet table of forces that larger and larger groups of people are getting conscious about. Many of these forces and their underlying particles, waves, energies and fields haven't even

While jobless it's important to have problems that keep your mind occupied and exercised. So good your mind has taken that path. But the type of problem you pick is very important. Picking problems with "too many dimensions"

They don't have any plan. Its like asking ants what their plan is. They have stumbled upon scale, so like the unimaginative mindless dolts they are, everything is done at scale. What the plan is, is just some post facto day to day reac

I really worry about my cat. Not that I need him to be a successful cat or anything. There are so many issues these days and I just don't want him to suffer or struggle too much.

Can it be more than an escape valve? What kind of patterns can channel or harness all that escaping energy? Also feels like there are too many escape valves on the internet and too few patterns to harness all the potential energy.
