Even if I know that is bullshit if someone claims to know the next number of a roulette and backs it up going all-in on black, it is not rational for me to bet on red.

Well, the manager asked only for “10% more vulnerable”. That seems pretty far from “being forced into group therapy” in my perception. It was the author and colleagues that decided to overstate, and seemingly did not regret. Groups of human

Maybe going into exile meant happiness to Salinger. I have the impression that Toni Morrison had a happy later life. Denis Johnson published his important works after quitting drugs and alcohol. I also have the impression that his later lif

Interesting, I just finished the manuscript of a sci-fi novel where one of the narratives is set in an idilic small town, with no scarcity, with AI systems making the life easy for everyone and where learning how to read and write is frowne

I think the separation makes sense. Scheduled meetings spread out through the day rather than grouped together and running efficiently is definitely a bad day for me. But small, 2-5 minutes interruptions for a quick question never bothered

“New Yorker” magazine I mean. Very long-winded, going into literary tangents, often giving the impression that showcasing the writer’s literary skills are more important than the subject.

Very well written article. Informative, sensible and articulate without going that New Yorker style that I find boring.

It happened to me when I was reading a new edition of ”The Spoils of Poynton” by Henry James. There was an essay in the beginning of the book that I started reading on inertia alone (yes, I know, I should have known better). In the first

I have a mobile game idea that is “juggling for blind people”. You would use your phone as the hand to catch and throw balls in the air. All user feedback would be sound (ball going up, then going down) and haptic (catching and throwing the

Yes, that’s a lot of assumptions. That’s why I tried to punctuate that is my opinion, and my view, while speculating how you would use it. Or, more accurately, how “one” would use it, since I know nothing about you and just using the impres

I don’t think the machine will find new ways for you to express yourself, it will only find ways you can impress others. As I see it, it is a prosthetic leg for you ego, not your creativity.

The battery gets bad after 4 years. That’s usually the moment I want to buy a new phone already, why invest $99 in a phone that I won’t be using in a year? Better deal with a bad battery for a few months or a year, then already go on and bu

No, it was not. Well, kind of depends of what you mean by “back then”. But the term classical music is not a modern creation talking about old music. The term was created while people were creating this genre of music. Classical originally
