As someone who casually came across Examine.com a while back, I left quickly simply because the website didn't seem credible. As others have pointed out here, the website's design (while looks nice) does not send all the right sig

You don't need to be a cryptographer or even in the computer science field. One look at that hilarious promo video by any layman with any common sense is enough to see total bs that it is. I couldn't stomach to watch it all the wa

Could someone explain to a layman what is our best theory as to the limits of the universe as it pertains to the start of the big bang? How do we know the big bang is not just a tiny spec in the middle of a giant ocean (similar to a superno

Even if everyone decided that it's in everyone's best interest to eat less meat, some people would just assume since everyone else is doing it, they can cheat. Or worse, they would just ignore it. The point at which we ask people

I'd like to check out these russian-speaking sources if they are online.

I am not sure how you got that out of my comment. What exactly is real information? Personally, I think people who only get their news from "trusted" sources are actually closing themselves off to a variety of different opinions,

It's worse than that. It is all baked into our daily tools. Even HN as a community and a forum aids in distraction. Pretty much any community that lets you form an echo chamber around yourself (all social networks, and communities incl

As a kid I would watch english-spoken news without having any understanding of English. Then all of a sudden one day I started understanding the news anchors. It was a weird experience. Shortly after I started on a lessons book and that got

I think the only solution is to restrict access or regulate tourist flow (if feasible). You can't blame people for wanting to take pictures - it's an impulse that's hard to defy unless you are actively thinking about it and h

Can you blame them? It's that or working a minimum wage job.. which would you take? Have thousands of followers and make money online or work some miserable job for corporate overlords - the choice is not difficult.

The same with Twitter. The amount of garbage that platforms spews daily would go down tremendously if likes and retweets weren't a thing. I can't spend more than a few minutes reading the most cringeworthy crap without questioning

I wonder if it's happening already? Just last month we had record rainfall in 1 day that we'd typically get in a whole month in Kyushu, Japan.

This and many users are hooked on the social networking effect where other users are liking their reviews. Twitter is much the same - you get a constant stream of endorphins every time you see people liking and retweeting your crap. It&#x27

Does this "waste" accumulate indefinitely if you are constantly lacking sleep, or does it get flushed out in full every night you get a good night's sleep? So say I had a crappy sleep schedule for 3 days, but on the 4th day I

As an American working with Europeans I've found that there is often a different tone in communication used. It seems to me Europeans are often more direct in their conversation (which in email may sound rude). It took me a while to fi

Sometimes it takes longer than a few minutes to think about something. I often write out my messages and not send them. Sleep on it, come back and delete to write something better. I've found myself in many situations where sleeping on

Same. Given the vastly disproportional amount of power between the super rich and the rest, it doesn't look like any real change will happen any time soon (at least before it's too late). I think the only way real change could hap
