No one in the parent posts has said anything about "literally zero people". The OP made a claim ("invented in 2017"), and this very claim is being criticized. I found perplexing that you interpret the very same words in

Isn't the group that stayed awake the control group? Number of participants is mentioned repeatedly, also per group. I suspect you just read the press article and not the study (linked in the press article). https://www.sci

Another, related difference, is the scale. Even though the bartender can spread rumors, when the knowledge is in hands os corporations, can be easily queried by governments, etc. The potential magnitude is way bigger than a rumor in your lo

I'm surprised by the amount of detractors. We know from history that any book with advice should not be taken too literal. Reading the comments here, it feels almost like I read a different book (about 10 years ago).

To me it seems as misdirected solution: i) If people is being harassed because of the name of their workplace, then the problem is the harasser. Changing the name of the workplace is a bit like victim shaming, in the sense that the real pro

Even disregarding the errors, when "overthinking" is easy t go deeper in some branches than in others, without a very good probability estimation (which something the computer can do more easily: weight the branches). The "i

I'm with you. I mean, already the title perspires arrogance. I'm not going to click on it, even though there might be good advice there. I probably have already heard it and probably will heard it again from someone without that a

Hi there. I'm also using Anki for Finish vocab, and it had helped me a lot. To the point it does feel like a super power. If you are going to use Anki, it's important to switch the knobs to adapt to what you are learning. I will s

A key technique to avoid those situations was the "poisoned pill": buried in your profile there is some keyword they must include in their request. With that (which I copied once I was reading a full descriptive profile) you get a
