Why I choose localhost pages: They work even when the Internet is down. They are very secure as long as I'm working offline. They are very responsive. 0ms latency and my SATA bus is 16Gb/s It is completely free. I have complete co

It would "discover" every curiosity that we have yet to find, but it would be useless. Consider the universe. It is essentially a giant mechanical construct which works within the confines of every mathematical, physical, and even

Habit formation isn't wishful thinking, but I'd say that habit design is. Habit formation itself comes from routine. Not the desired routine. This is why we have bad habits. Good habits are hard, because they are not what we natur

The article conflates thinking positively with hubris or denial. Positive thinking, in my view, is more about saying "What do I need to do make this happen." instead of saying "I will never be able to make this happen."

I disagree. The book taught me that the things that we "see" in our minds are really very incomplete. You think you can imagine an elephant vividly in your imagination, but what is the ratio of their ears to their head, or their

You can manage your own backups, and then you don't have to feel how safe your data is, you can know it. If you aren't worrying about petabytes of data, you can run your own scheduled backup, take a copy off site, and test it regu

I work as a retailer in Canada. When the banks issued people chip and pin cards, we upgraded our terminals. We had to because people needed to use the chip and pin cards. We didn't have an option to resist it because all that does is

It means I get to fly in space. Whether a 30 million, 30 billion, or 30 trillion dollars were to be invested into real life space research, there's about a 0% chance that it will let me fly in space. That said, the more interest there

I think that the point is less to change it than to report on the fact that it's (still) happening. If she just told him off and he avoided her for the rest of the night, but otherwise she still felt as isolated and ogled, how would th

Firing people for making mistakes is a surefire way to ensure that when someone makes a mistake they will do everything they can to cover it up rather than take appropriate action to correct it.

Because there are many games, and there is a bigger market of people buying those games. Since there is more people buying those games, a popular game can be profitable at a lower price now than a popular game could have been profitable at

Yeah, similar is when you get names from Canada and look at the cities. The first one I get is from Weagamow, ON, which is a North Caribou Lake Indian reservation, with like 900 people in it. The second I get is from Cornwall, ON, a small c

It helps to think that a person is not their ideas. An idea might be very successful and innovative. It might catch on and do very well. It means little to the person who realized the idea, except that they were the one to have it and ma

The article lied to me. It said it would tell me why so many tech founders who are jerks become insanely rich and successful. Instead it tells me that there are rich and successful jerks, and that some people would prefer not to work with

That's kind of the point though. You can go through a lot of work to undo the changes so that it's just the same as 7. Or you can avoid the upgrade at all. There's other things that 8 does that's annoying, there's

Assuming your numbers are correct, a more accurate title would be "An economically rational poor person would choose not to work a minimum wage job." If it is true, it is a problem that would need to be corrected. However, even i

The average geek doesn't know a lot about hard sciences. The average geek is self taught and knows how to impress other people with scientific language. Rarely do I run into "geeks" that make me think, "Wow, this guy c

I think that an important step is to pre-empt the counter-offer. When you even start to consider another opportunity, think about why you actually want to move to the new opportunity. Is it that you need more money? Is it that you want to

It's not that we should retire the notion of standard deviation. It's more that we should understand the tools that we are using and use the appropriate tool for the job.

When you do photon tracing, you begin with beams of known intensity, wavelength, direction because you are aware of the light source. That combines with everything else that hits the sensor to give the image. When you do ray tracing, you d

I think that's the real thing. People sort into two bins: Those who make choices, and those who make excuses. I think it's often the people who think that they should have already won the prize that end up in the latter category.

A tablet is a PC. Especially as x86 processors start taking over arm processors. Just because it doesn't sit in a big box doesn't mean it's a different class of system. The difference is really the openness of the platform, c
