I was about 27 when I realised what = means. I'd always just kinda taken it to indicate something more like "and then". So 2 + 3 and then you have 5. It blew my mind to understand that = means that what's on each side of

Have you checked with your dentist to see whether your jaw joints (where your jaw meets your skull under your ear lobe) are equally strong? My dentist found that one side wasn't working as well as the other and made me a custom splint

Some context on this essay - I've been making my way through Bret Victor's collection of links [0] and started reading diSesssa's Knowledge in Pieces, which opens with this quote: "Nobody thinks clearly, no matter what t

I've had a pretty similar experience. Get exercise, sleep, food and hydration under control, then (in my case) medication helps me make the most of that structure. I actually just wrote a giant post [1] about what I've learned abo

I'm also a big fan of this book, for the same reasons (ADHD management). Understanding the value of setting aside big chunks of time to work deeply and prioritising that time has had an enormous positive impact on how I get things done

In 2015, I went to the International Union for Quaternary Research conference in Nagoya. The Emperor and Empress of Japan attended the opening ceremony. There was security screening, armed guards in suits sat throughout the audience and we

I would like something similar as well. Perhaps some way for friends to only view my history back to the date where I added them as a friend, that way my oldest and closest friends have access to all of our history together and my newest, l

"The word SOPA means "trash" in Swedish. The word PIPA means "a pipe" in Swedish. This is of course not a coincidence." An interesting statement overall, but sentences like the one above have to make you wonder how seriously TPB is thinking

Wait until the self-hate level is high enough to make me feel unbearably bad about not doing what I want to be doing. Not a very healthy approach. I've also been trialling the habit of starting tasks so far ahead of time that the deadline f

It's nice to see that HN is thinking of us :) My housemates and I had to evacuate our apartment building this morning. Our place is on the fourth story so our things should be ok, but we won't be able to get back until Saturday, if not late

Well, I'm not an expert or anything so don't take my comments toooo seriously; but the first thing I noticed was that it doesn't look like there's anyway to use your app without signing in via Facebook or Twitter. I'm not likely to do that,

Oh, thanks! Steak, fried 'chicken style'. Hah.

Fascinating, first the concept of deep fried steak and then chicken steak? ... American food never ceases to surprise me (a pescetarian from New Zealand). So different :)

The lack of textural variety is the main thing that puts me off frozen foods as well. Choosing a frozen meal over a restaurant meal is like choosing to eat at an old folks home instead of accepting a friend's home-cooked dinner invite. Also

Gmail is normally so reliable for me that, up until a couple of weeks ago, I only checked my spam folder every month or so. For some reason, Gmail decided an email (forwarded from another address of mine that I linked to my account) from so

Did anyone else find it disagreeable that Q.24 asks whether you'd rather go to the theater than the museum? I really like both - if I had to choose in a real life situation, I'd have to know what's showing at the theater and compare it to w

Could you tell me the name of the site? I've been out of New Zealand for awhile, but it would be interesting to see what's available.

I wonder why Markus made a blog post out of this? If he just wanted to make the point that POF deletes inactive profiles, why use Assange's as an example considering that it is an example clouded with political controversy?

I'll actually be an Australian resident (although not a citizen) returning from a visit to my home country, so maybe that changes the situation somewhat. Following your advice though, I'm guessing the main thing is to look as much as predic

Wow. I have to re-enter Australia in a month. How do you suggest avoiding this? Turning it off and putting it in my checked luggage (with a password) should work shouldn't it?

What about " myusername has not listed any skills."?

" myusername has not listed his skills." should be: " myusername has not listed her skills." or, more neutrally: " myusername has not listed their skills." Edit: I wrote this comment because I'm a woman and it can be a bit jarring to

What is the context? Do you mean disaster recovery for businesses, individuals, or countries? If you're referring to disaster recovery in the sense of mitigating, preparing for, managing, and recovering from things like natural disasters (e
