People knowing the weather prediction doesn't change the weather though. In terms of non-linearity, economy is way harder to predict because of that.

You can learn to cope with ADHD, that's why it presents differently in adults than in children - all of the small problems are hidden under many layers of coping strategies but still may cause shame and anxiety. There is a scientific d

I just want to add to that, that hyperfocus isn't directed, it just happens. That's why it can mess up the lives of people with the issue - directing attention to a problem that is currently important, from a rational perspective,

I can recommend the "Additude ADHD Experts Podcast" where clinical psychiatrists, neurologists and therapists detail their approaches. Apparently something that works really well is pairing up someone with ADHD with someone who is

That's pure bias, that important change is always found where there is resistance. Most important change is found where people are just too comfortable to change themselves, which is the harder version of change to implement. Six month

I was actually disgusted by the fork - it was a 'the emperor wears no clothes' moment: Instead of standing by the proposed system, the stakeholders instead chose to change the rules. This can happen again any time for whatever rea

Apparently not, as the hard fork into Ethereum and Eth. Classic proves. Once every big stakeholder decides the game isn't in their favor anymore, they change the rules.

Gunfire Reborn - a little roguelike shooter, every playthrough is different because of random power-ups (scrolls) that can be traded among the party, to optimize your build as you go.

I've failed to find a nickel gold alloy with such a small amount of gold ("0.4g" according to the website) that still looks gold/yellow - 'white gold' which is a gold-nickel-palladium alloy has a magnitude more

NFTs are always brought up for game items but I don't understand the non-fungible part of it. A game item or cosmetic is the example par-excellence for a thing that anyone can have a copy of - I don't get why there has to be artif

Bitcoin does not support monetary policy though. If you read the Wikipedia article on the Gold standard, historians and economists seem to agree that the inflexibility to increase currency supply to stimulate the economy made the great depr

I would add that depression is not a one-diagnosis-fits-all illness. You cannot treat every depression with CBT & exercise, some people are depressed as a comorbidity to a different issue. That issue can e.g. be neurological and hard to

I think this argument suffers from tunnel vision - that FSD will be a boon to humanity. Also, many historical sacrifices of people to the progress of civilization (e.g. medicine) have been made coincidentally, or have been forced by mass mu

I think my keyboard makes me happier at work and that indirectly boosts my productivity - I like the look and feel of it. It's a Vortex Race3 with brown MX switches, I didn't want to get on the nerves of my colleagues too much. So

Oceanic photosynthesis is what you want to also look at to protect, more than half (est. 50-80%) of our oxygen comes from oceanic life like plankton, algae, bacteria. If the oceans go, we're screwed.

Interesting and thanks for sharing, I also ran into another design that is maple-seed like in terms of aerodynamics. Sadly this is one of the cases where human ingenuity is misdirected and is still causing harm today: The BLU-43 Dragontooth

The article you cited ends with the victory of the Khmer Rouge in 1975. It deals with the events before the Khmer Rouge rule of terror, which lasted until 1979. In terms of support, it seems you can even quote Kissinger on it: "You sho

That's not how a quick read of the wikipedia page on the history of bank notes reads. It reads like bank notes were the result of the shortcomings of coins, i.e. that you had to have actual precious metal to mint them. And the first ba

If that t-shirt isn't created procedurally, then any interoperability between differently themed worlds will just make everything look like 2nd Life, since an artist would have to create another, similar shirt in a style that fits.

They probably want data of site visitors - who looks at what, visits which link, edits what etc. That's not contained in the pure content. If someone shops around for some product, then visits a Wikipedia article related to it and then
