Exactly. A scanner knows enough vocabulary to fool non-experts and thus is susceptible to developing DK. This definitely enforces DK as one of many factors. I have met several such people. I have expertise in multiple narrow areas, and th

You haven’t said what you do for money. Is that all sorted out? Or, are you wealthy enough that you don't have to work? It is very important to truly know yourself and design your life based on that. I was born into enough wealth that

I do these things, and I believe that they make me a better idea-conjurer: 1. Write ideas down. No matter how "obvious", trivial, or small it might be. Just write it down. Get into a habit of documenting your ideas that are not ev

Here's how I solved my focus problem- 1. Have a clear work/rest-of-life boundary. Have a clear set of hours or days of week where you work or learn things related to work. End your work on that boundary. Follow with a small end-of

Prime Video has an option where I can hide specific movies and seasons of series. I use this feature a lot, and it works.

You should definitely look at Practical Electronics for Inventors, 4e by Scherz, Monk (ISBN- 1259587541). This is a fantastic book. If you care about learning circuit design properly, you should do projects. Projects are absolutely necess

Milman and Halkias over Boylestad, any day. M&H teaches in style. They have a nice pedagogical philosophy and upon reading, you will get stuff. I never liked B&N.

They just want to see some races and ethnicities more at colleges. This is a sad case of Goodheart's Law [0] in action. Some people have chosen one metric as a measure of progress of historically oppressed races- enrolment in college

Yes, extra-curriculars are expensive, too. The ones that I did- needed spending of little to no money, but needed a lot of time. I could afford it. Someone I know, who is now a pharmacist at a big-pharma had to help his dad in his men'

I cannot talk about HN folks, but only myself. I take culture very very seriously. I do it as an independent adult, but I also grew up in a very culturally immersive household. High culture always had a place in my family. I gave up many th

Yes, this is normal. I have even seen non-Saas competitors sign up under false pretense, names, new emails- and get private demos, special trials, and so on. Here, their honesty is a positive point. If I were you, I would even reach out to

Whoa, my bad. You clearly know more than me about Buddhism. For me, I limit myself to Theraveda Buddhism and especially to Buddha's teachings only. Long before I grew an interest on Buddhism, I realized that very few people actually un
