Do you have a source for the claim "Low IQ is associated with worse life outcomes"? I've never seen one. In fact it is EQ - emotional intelligence - and not IQ that predicts positive life outcomes most strongly.

I got a great tidbit a long time ago, whenever you move to a new city and want to get to know it, start training for a marathon. You'll know every nook cranny and hole-in-the-wall in no time.

As I understand it, USA is one of the highest funded education systems in the world. Funding for education even outpaces USA's um.. robust defense spending. The trick is to look into total funding - beyond federal funding and into stat

I know several very high productivity - as in ultra-productive, super human level with the compensation to match - people that use timers. Everything they want to follow up on they toss into a phone timer. When it goes off they deal with it

I've tried multiple times to use discord, and the fundamental blocker for me seems to be in it's name. Every one feels just like a private slack channel for a company I don't work for. Discordant. To say that product is going

I agree with this interpretation - after all ponzis, scams, vapor ware, and rug pulls existed long before trust-less distributed ledger software.

I was just a kid just outside of the DC metro area in the country. I remember my dad and I had to stop the car on the side of the highway because the air was so dense with cicadas and the wipers weren't up to the task. The noise when g

If your fuel pump software doesn't handle leap year, no you should not be considered a professional. That's amateur work. > professional characterized by or conforming to the technical or ethical standards of a profession >

I find this inspiring - truly an example of heroism and bravery. Bravo.

Woz said it best, the thing the apple watch did was put tap-to-pay on your wrist. It is awesome, but I still don't wear one.

I would love for this to take off, solar panel installation alongside GHCP. Since this is probably for a single family residence, toss in a battery and an electric vehicle charging interface - bob's your uncle.

You could run a central line in the street, then connect to it like sewer and pull heat off of it that way. It would be interesting to check the average public water temp as well, as long as the delta is closer than outdoor ambient air it w

Fascinating - is there any chance you have some links about this?

Truthfully, if electricity is getting that expensive in your area, your very first move should be to put some solar panels on your roof not buying a new car. Not always an option for all people but that's what I'd be doing in that

Shoutout to the time I was looking at job listings on my cellphone, which then immediately popped up on my work computer in front of my coworkers. I didn't even know there _was_ a sync feature, it got turned on automatically after an u

It isn't poverty that reduces ambition, it's that poverty has crushingly enormous cognitive overhead.

Good story. I for one do not believe in Unit Tests and try to get LLM tooling to write them for me as much as possible. Integration Tests however, (which I would argue is what this story is actually praising) are _critical components of pro

No - LLMs can't talk to the dead, they're just fancy autocompletes

Am I missing something - what negative effects are there? > "I need to program the offspring to be able to adapt to that kind of environment" What does this mean?

I like this website. However, 209kb of javascript? I'm no JS snob, but goodness gracious what in the world? It's a collection of hyperlinks and a spash of CSS. And it's actually fairly sluggish.

Cool. Typically land next to the shore is expensive and riddled with people who want to keep it clear of industry. People are loathe to allow even wind turbines on their precious horizon.... How close to the shoreline do these things need t
