I suggest you go to random.org and play with the coin flipper or dice roller for a couple of hours. [edit] I just rolled 60 dice and got a string of 7 2’s in a row. Can someone calculate the odds of that happening for me?

Humans creating problems they then need to then solve transcends and predates any ideology. Capitalism just lets you scale it out to new heights! :)

These resonated with me as the world's AI-automating all the things. Particularly: "Digital devices tune out small errors while creating opportunities for large errors."

Use the pen that comes with it, magnet side facing the screen and sweep across the areas that are misaligned or the whole screen. This fixes things for me.

If you are desperate for a job you probably shouldn't be negotiating too hard. If your downside is protected and you've got options, you're a fool if you're not negotiating.

It's nice to interact with people who are strangers. Grocery store employees, baristas, mechanics, service people etc. As you get older, a lot of the people you interact with regularly you have a responsibility for/to. Co-workers,

It would be a sad day for ballistics if you needed 3.7 GBs of data per day to guide a missile.

It's so common that I've had it happen on a flight. We were midway over the Atlantic, so we made it to the destination. It sounded like getting the replacement part is a pain though. They're not just sitting around at every a

Wind-based energy tends to be par or worse than fossil fuels in terms of energy return on investment. Photovoltaics are more grim depending on whose numbers you pull. Right now nuclear is the only energy source we have that could sustain gr

Growth is fueled by energy. If we're not exponentially growing it's because energy is a limiting factor for some reason. I find the table in the middle of this page illuminating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Mathematica is probably one of the biggest and most complex commercially available applications that still has an artisanal/craftsman made quality about it. It’s something special. Maybe a bit of a relic in its distribution (not open s

Most companies approach this in two ways: 1. Say nothing until day of. 2. Say someone somewhere at some point or by some date. For the employees, neither solves the problem of uncertainty that causes the most psychological turmoil. The bes

You are not an ally, you are a de facto vassal. Compared to other vassals in history you don't have to send much in the way of tribute. Frankly, you have a pretty good deal. We provide your protection, you can do your Dutch things, and

To play devil’s advocate to this mindset: life isn’t an optimization game. When you’re being nibbled away at by maggots or a pile of ashes, you will receive no trophy for how you optimized your life in a particular order. You don’t need to
