People with internal monologue basically think in language. They are often very articulate. Jordan Peterson said he thinks in words, and he talk very fast. I think in abstract and concrete imagery, and only found out recently that other p

I am not sure if it is because I am getting old, but have found Paul's old writing more resonating than ever.

Pingyin doesn't not only help me learn Chinese, but also learn English's pronunciation later in life. It's not one-to-one match but close enough. Bopomofo predates Pingyin and did what Pingyin did but with non-Latin alphabet.

This is amazing. Money doesn't make us live longer, but does $45 billion help bring the future sooner? I bet it does. It will widen our horizons on what's possible. Everyone on earth will benefit from it.

I remember seeing this when I grew up in China (translated into Chinese). Last time I saw this film was 30 years ago. Thank you so much for sharing.

Different generation consumes news differently. I am the "newspapers" generation, but I found BI useful. If it is clickbait, I just skip it. The UI/UX makes easy to skip things you don't like. Try to do that on a piece o

It is tricky. The expected value is mathematics term people invented for easy calculation. It is different from the "value" in human perception. How much is a $1 lottery ticket worth? It is probably 40 cents depending on the pro

This is a great article. Great writing! Software eats the world, or it may not. I don't think most of startups are doing what they do to realize that goal. All they do is to solve a specific problem with technology. Of course if the &q

I don't think there is ET. The probability that atoms fuse together to construct a organism that is capable of turning sun into bio-energy and multiplying itself just by chance is too small to have two civilizations in this universe.

No one procrastinates on things they enjoy doing. You may not have found your niche yet, keep looking. People grow up learning competing with each other all the time as it is theme of life. You would have to unlearn that and enjoy life.

I haven't been in Singapore and have read very little on why Singapore is so successful. Three of Four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea) are more democratic/free and equal in prosperity comparing with Singapore. IMH

The question comes down to how you evaluate things. Are the growth rate and money the only measures here? God doesn't favorite China. Looking at its past 100 years, huge political unrest and communism experiments kept the country so be

Thank you for answering my question. I think I now get a sense of thinking using tactile representation. I can imagine it is incredible hard to work on things that don't have 1-to-1 mapping between visual and tactile. It is a fascinati

Thank you so much for your insightful post and prospective. I have a question on how you imagine/think. People with eye sigh often think with pictures. Even thinking about abstract things like programming. I often visualize how a data

That's great new! Going to grocery store is such a pain. Instacart delivers you to the grocery store and bring you back after you've done shopping.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. I didn't feel cheated though since I got good amount of info from the article and was curious about how Aerospike did it. I wish all ads were like this.

A big topic can be easily broken down to small chucks. It's just easier to consume that way. I don't think they really took time to condense the content to focus on the essentials. I really want to enjoy the jokes/small talk

Does unique throw-away card number really reduce fraud? If so, can't Visa/Mastercard implement them too?

You got a point. We will see one team on full attack which is not always the case when both team are cautious. but thinking about it now, it is not necessary interesting football that way.

It is a great tool to discover interesting courses and it saves me a lot of time searching. I am not sure if you are working on it, but it maybe a good idea to allow people to subscribe subjects/classes so that they got notified when
