Thats not how anything works. Having impact and having control over impact are two totally different things. You can get one atom to produce a nuclear chain reaction and level the planet, but that specific atom doesnt get into a position to

Luck depends on the type of people around you. If they are ambitious, highly energetic, persistent then interesting things are guaranteed to happen. The more such people enter your life "luck" will keep increasing. But for them to

Start disecting how the brain works and its very similar one stack of garbage hacks on top of another constantly accumulating over time.

Well its a large cattle herd. So the amount of flight and drainage required to weaken it would probably require a new continent to appear out of the sea to absorb it all. Its basically unknown how much damage they can take.

Where your path leads depends fully on the people you have around you. Every org has folk who are hubs in the network. Info flows between groups through them. The closer you are to as many hubs as possible, the greater the chance of you bei

True about the type of people drawn to it. But I doubt he and his team worry about it as much as the mods think they worry about it. Like wikipedia they have survived quite a lot of drama in the past.

Remove the mods. Tantrum throwers as opposed to solution oriented folk, should not be entertained for too long or it just gets worse.

pfft...no one knows what is going on including the Chinese. These are ever changing complex systems. Its not even like looking at a hurricane, but more like looking at a few thousand of them interacting. All the 6 inch chimp brain can do wi

You got to deal with them the same way you deal with a herd of Buffalo. As long as the herd is running in circles, its not going to run of a cliff or into the sea. So keep them running in circles and stay out of the center. Stone age man kn

I like the enthusiam godot is generating in kids or people new to complex programming environments. You can see the energy in the chatrooms, forums and subreddit. Really creative stuff from the younger crowd showing the tool is getting out

Ofcourse they should be taken seriousiusly. What do you want the "millions" to do instead? Pretend everyone is rational? Once upon a time we tried classifying every chimp according to the big 5 personality trait model. Now thanks

Porn and icecream also have high engagement. Dont get carried away by metrics that have nothing to do with measuring Learning and Development outcomes. When it comes to education, people must understand the implications of the Explore Explo

Social media is available 24*7 providing pleasure and elevating threat. Unlike any other drug. Every time the brain has to handle pleasure or threat its using energy. Its not designed to do it all the time. So if you are feeling drained its

Both paths are valid and they are often intertwined. But be clear Learning happens under 3 conditions 1. A good environment - low/no distraction 2. Mentors - people who know more AND know how to teach 3. Repetition. The brain has 200 b
