...if caffeine were a new drug, I wonder what Schedule it would be in and if people might be even more leery of it than modafinil. ... So I eventually got around to ordering another thing of nicotine gum... A second d

The premise of the experiment is akin to considering whether or not people are prone to being swindled by a three card monte con-game. The premise of the example only demonstrates a susceptibility to a situation where the individual is not

Oh, so much better. Thank you jesus! In other communities, to circumvent asinine ploys at lock-in, someone would just brute force the pdf file with a burner facebook login, and repost it. But then, you'd still be stuck with a pdf.

Dark patterns ask you to sit in a chair, without telling you that you can get paid to stand. (masking benefit without restricting access to the benefit; misdirection but without total erosion of trust) This is about exploiting the exposure

In side-by-side taste tests, and even when seltzer is free, I almost always choose water, and usually leave containers of seltzer unfinished, and sometimes wait until they go flat before finishing them off if I'm feeling extraordinaril

We've had free will debates here on HN before, and the submitted story is usually quickly debunked as pompous and arrogant pseudo-intellectuallism. A flavour of jaded post college nihilism. Fatalistic points of view can jump off a clif

I have quit and resumed coffee many times over the past decade, and abstained from caffeine during breaks for a month or more. Migraines are a thing. Lasting up to a full day, but rarely longer. Beyond that, quitting caffeine is unremarkab

Sometimes certain realities are often white-washed by the cordial etiquette that "The Crown's High Court" might demand of those dwelling in the workplace. I'm not directing this sort of statement at any actual person, bu

No way. Fuck that. I have quit jobs over their idiotic daily meeting rituals. Continuous evaluation does nothing for team performance. Firing people hurts morale. Hiring people who suck hurts morale. Making people who suck, suck in public o

Oh nothing is wrong with it, but that's a way different story. A desire to contribute to or fully take on child care should not be mocked. But I really don't think the commonly observed imbalance of sympathy and empathy one sees,
