That might be good advice for arrogant actors, but it's not a good definition. Charisma is not just about relationship, or how they interact with people. Charisma means having hidden information that lets you operate in the world more

After a decade off the burner, the Dan Brown-alike reads as self-possessed, hard-boiled, and a little playful. I think his sin against literature was (like most celebrities) rooted in overexposure, not anything fundamentally wrong with his

If you are average, your thinking and emotional processing are basically done for you - you have tons of examples of people dealing with every challenge you face (in media, in your immediate surroundings). The people who need those internal

What makes this piece so powerful is how it paints the rabbit as both victim and oppressor - a response to social pressure that is itself a source of social pressure. What comparison are you trying to make? What's the equivalent "

I think the truth on display is that living inside an artificial system that: - is designed for you - never talks back - can be mastered selects for (and breeds!) a deep sense of arrogance and entitlement

The most challenging part of factorio is routing inputs and outputs in 2D. If you build naively, intersections between ingredient belts choke the life out of your factory (3 utilities problem). Bus guarantees building space with easy access

I kinda get your point - statistics suck the air out of the room. If regular people are talking about swing state poll margins of error instead of the actual issues, something's gone wrong. 538 democrasized the numbers that were the do

If you take off your cynicism-tinted glasses, it's the story of how community is more than the sum of its parts, and how it sometimes needs a "beautiful lie" as a catalyst (like justice, or freedom!)

Yeah, people are holding on to the rigid, simplistic, outdated notion that DNA is the "genetic code" that defines everything. I think neural nets show that, realistically, evolution requires backpropagation (epigenetics).

If this is because of reduced moderation, does that mean the algorithm defaults to shock content? That gets the most attention, and they're artificially suppressing it most of the time? If the attention economy is a race to the bottom,

I don't know how you can say that with a straight face. Balatro is building on 50 years of addiction-seeking game design. Everything from the sound effects, to the random round rewards, to the pacing of unlocks is optimized to be as at

I think their ethos is more about being user- and developer- friendly. RAM upgrades at reasonable prices, being able to buy the main board sans case, and supporting multiple OSes all point in that direction, without strictly being modular

"Banging it out over a weekend" is much easier when it's preceded by months of requirements-gathering and architecture design by osmosis.

Don't they release custom tuning patches for every single AAA game that comes out? Geforce Experience is basically just a spoonful of sugar to make sure people install new drivers.

Police can serve the community - but people who use the reference "thin blue line" are casting police as combatants rather than public servants.

Why is it weird? It's a lot like the 10c can and bottle levy. Ostensibly for recycling, but also gives homeless people a job. Sneaks under the radar of regular-sized market forces, and gives them some agency in their lives.

He sets up a conspiracy theory, where the system knows he's the only one out of sync and forces him through anyway. If you are reasonable instead of rational, the slippage that occurs within that week is fine. It's expected, as he
