There's another force acting in WP besides deletion: consolidation. In the early days it was harder to know about pre-existing articles on a subject. Multiple pages on the same topic and closely related topics were common. For example, I di

If you get a crappy education in HS, despite your abilities, you're far behind your peers who got a very good one. Whether you then apply yourself in college, you remain behind those people because they keep on keepin on. That's not so true

The ongoing financial meltdown (not to mention Warming) argues against that assertion. Our rationalization skills are evolving though. We now know many more people to point our fingers at.

Generally,the more worthwhile something is, the less we gain from skimming it. Not that I thought that thermodynamics text was worthwhile. On the other hand, skimming will sometimes get you to the good stuff. In the case of Anathem, about 1

If you live in a place where sunlight is scarce for months at a time in the winter, and you have no other guaranteed source, Vit. D deficiency is worth considering. I tried 400IU's a day in winter for a couple of years along with coffee. I

Luckily for the computer cassette tapes, the FSK'ed bits lie way down in the sound spectrum, IIRC circa 1000 Hz. I recently digitized some old favorite audio cassette dubs (TDK SA, most made on really good gear) and apart from atrocious wow

I wish I could tell all you guys working 70-80 hours the stories I've heard from 45-year-old guys who did that when they were your age. Short version: cut that out.

"lots of really interesting, amazing, beautiful women in San Francisco" That was true when I was there. And they tended to like independent rockers with somewhat long hair, day-old beard, who were smart and literate but never let that get i

"There has never been a culture of 'saving'." This guy never had anything but shit jobs until 2007. So until then, he had no chance to develop a 'culture of saving'. Should he have put away $20,000 that first year? Yeah - I would have. But

"Choosing to stay on unemployment instead of working earns little sympathy here." Cuz when their unemployment ran out, they'd not be able to make it on her $1000/month...no way, no how. So it didn't make sense to change their plans.

"much too high discount factor to future cash flow" Easy to say. Except they know too many people who had $400K in their 'future' and now have $150K; or who've worked all their lives and are now destitute for medical bills. The 'system' has

I'd only own a phone for the computer/WiFi part. And I won't have some freaking manufacturer telling me what software I can and can't run on MY computer. That HTC Hero that's in the pipeline looks awesome. (Price??) I saw an advert & re

The gentleman is right on; in the US too it's far from a new story. The decline started in secondary and then spread up through higher education. But does the fault really start with the students, as he claims, or is that blaming the victim

"especially if you're a little bit older, you will be trading quality of life for a few bucks" Stuff and nonsense. The old-timers I grew up around - most lived into their 80s - spent their whole lives eating what I call 'close to the Earth'

It's a temporary warp in userspace. Text is like going backward from broadband to a 1400 baud modem. Voice communicates so much more. So that will change as the user base ages. Seen many skateboards lately?
