At 12-14 years old, I remember jumping straight to the "Inside Track" section of PC Mag first. One of the best in his prime, and a Patriot.

Unfortunately, the lack the industriousness of the Chinese people is certain to hinder the velocity of innovation we'd see with a purely Ethiopian effort. People don't eschew the "Made in China" label without reason. Wit

Try to manage a single day having given up all the elements of advanced civilization yielded by an Ethiopian mind. We'll see if you make it to lunch. E.g. - ABS (Applied Bottle Sciences) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?

That was merciful. You went easy on that guy, mentioning only items of cultural and religious significance. Next time hit him with the big guns - Ethiopian contributions to theoretical physics, chemistry, architecture, engineering, philosop

This is going to sideline dozens of automobiles. What effect will this have on Ethiopia's industrial production capacity, upon which the rest of the world depends?

Well of course you don't do long-dated. You open a Vanguard account and put your cash in something like VMFXX; average maturity is 11 days. 4.5%

I read the book when it was published and haven't kept up with his doings since; but I'm curious now and will look it up. Watching his talks made me think he's an autist to a mild degree, and social taboos seem to wield less

"pseudo-authoritative" Psychometrics is the crown jewel of the field of psychology. There is no controversy among the psychometrists themselves that the body of academic work is numerate, correct, and repeatable. The author has ch

Becoming one of the best ever is only possible if your IQ is one of the best ever. There is going to be some biological upper limit. Minds like Torvalds, Richie, Thompson are rare; and there is nothing you can do to reach that level if your

I think he has a point there. If he did not pay for, it may be an even trade. You'd just have to compare the cost per acre per month of machine maintenance vs the cost to maintain a well fed flock for a month; including land costs and

statement 1 - "These are some of the most sincere, honest, and heroic people I’ve ever met." statement 2 - "And if they did accept a job, they’d often leave after only a few days."

It wasn't my intention to limit my comments on this to statements for which I have links to supporting academic studies. I wanted to propose my guesses, because it's fun to see who else has arrived at the same spot. I was careful

I think one piece of evidence would be the studies in psychology on the "big five" personality characteristics that show women scoring higher than men on agreeableness. But this is more of my guess on how things work. And it'

I left Atlanta for the Gulf Coast a few months ago. Guns are irrelevant, it's the quality of people that matters. From now on I'll adhere strictly to the creed, "live among people that think like you do" and I will only
