Glad to see the concept of work spaces realized quite thoroughly - I wrote about the need for such an approach before: https://rybakov.com/blog/open_tabs_are_cognitive_spaces/ I am intrigued, though, how well the

Not to compare the two, but Adolf Hitler also got into power pretty much legitimately. He was elected, and the Enabling Act of 1933 that gave him the power to enact laws passed Reichstag and Reichsrat and was signed by the president. You ca

A friend of mine had a generalized anxiety disorder, and for a while she was living in an apartment which had a large living room / kitchen which connected all other rooms. Basically, you entered directly into a large room, some part o

Especially with the "top sites" or "highlights" feature of contemporary browsers, that in essence show different doors, invite into other worlds as soon as you open a new tab. So instead of going where you wanted to go y

I guess with a bit of masking and applying different styles to different image regions - as well as carefully selecting style images - some accurate yet visually rich diagrams could be created.

I found that Ernst Haeckel illustrations lend themselves perfectly to being used in artistic style transfer. Mainly because of high amount of details at all scales. Here are some contemporary scientific infographics with Ernst Haeckel style

Not what you are searching, but I found Notational Velocity ( http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/ ) indispensable for quick note-taking. It is very lightweight, and I have a shortcut bound to it, so I'm al

There was a blog post on the significance of crocodiles in Russian culture. Mainly, that they are used as 'sensitive, educated outsider' characters. Not sure if it was on HN, though.

Not about IQ but I read somewhere about how the properties of octopus bodies (squishiness, bonelessness) form a very different understanding of the world compared to those of primates. Can't find where it was.

Thanks, I'll look into it! I recently found the theory of Lynn Margulis interesting, that we are all holobionts, not just relying on symbiotic bacteria but critically dependent on them, for breaking down food just as well as for stayin

Somebody was writing about a concept of negotiations that focuses on values of the other party, and asking the question "what if your value is met" instead of arguing for your positions. The example was about gun control: "wh

There was a comment about the theory, that emotions are not represented in the body but actually happen there. And we learn to interpret the bodily state as having an emotion. Can't find it.

There are also mathematical models about how ideas emerge [0], with edge-reinforced random walks. As I understand it, you tend to stay close to familiar concepts, while sometimes being open to new ones. As you revisit a concept, it gets rei

I find the notion of places as a state of mind - cognition that is externalized to your surroundings - quite interesting. So part of a formula could be creating a space that is filled with other ideas, that allows non-judgemental experiment

Difficulty firing someone makes people feel secure at work. Security is one of the essential things you need to be innovative. Desperation and anxiety doesn't drive innovation.

That is an interesting problem - creating, naming and remembering spaces. Can a space have a name, a real name before it exists and can be experienced? How does naming a space influence its content? I've run into a bug of duplicate wor

If you didn't restart Firefox again there should be a backup of opened tabs saved in your profile folder!

Do you mean the Firefox multi-account containers? Wouldn't that just add some coloured bar on the tabs (and separate logins etc) without hiding the currently unused tabs?

Also, saving the workspace requires naming them, which may be a flow-breaking meta-question. "How should I call what I'm doing right now" is not always an easy question to answer. Maybe some favicon-based graphical collage wo
