You need goals to know which habits to develop, and habits so you achieve the goals. It’s not one or the other, you need both.

And same but differently I doubt a king of today eats as well as a peasant of a thousand years ago - aside from famine times. Today we all eat just a few plant and (for most) animal species. This is bad for the gut microbiome, health and o

I think you might love rock climbing, esp bouldering. It’s hard on the body, but your mind is engaged like a game of chess - to be fair more like solving set chess problems, it’s so satisfying when you figure one out.

Maybe something similar to a triple store.

Yep, same reason Private Ryan was saved (in the movie).

Nope, it's the other way around. Because they can't protect the recipe there are no profits to be made and therefore no incentive to run trials. It get's worse. If a traditional recipe works better, doctors can't prescri

Perhaps they should be free to do as they choose, but make what they are doing very explicit. In the early days Google heavily promoted the idea that their rankings were independent and free of commercial biases, and we now implicitly assum

Interesting, I'm the other way around, I've defaulted to classes and then found that Ids would be more appropriate in many cases. My simple rule for id vs class (as a non-expert) is if you say 'this is the x' e.g. '

Or just say 20% of your time you can do what you want. Seems like a solved problem to me.

I think you know there's a bubble when people tell you about the stock picks (amateurs and professionals), and when you quiz them about why the bought, they give you irrational arguments i.e. things unrelated to future cash flow. The r

Funny, I read the comment as meaning "I get plenty of social deference, and any more would be just be annoying".

If you said it's not 'strictly true for India', you'd be correct, but when you say it's 'far from true' then not so much. India has two ancient languages Tamil and Sanskrit and modern languages are derived

Sorry for slow reply. That is very interesting, I never knew that but I guess it makes perfect sense. What I was/am thinking of is a group that is definitely military, but the goal is governance with the option of lethal force any time

by shardinator 9y ago
Yes absolutely. I think bringing people from some military units and then the Peace Corps, USAID etc. together would be a way to get it happening quickly.

by shardinator 9y ago
Agreed there's a trend in that direction, but as you say not quite there yet. What I imagine is a unit with the goal of helping civilians as a first priority, but with the full capability to defend themselves and the people they'r

I totally agree with this. I also think in a large number of conflict situations, the real issue is bootstrapping governance rather than fighting an adversary. Though military protection/action is required due the hostile environment.
