You mean your foster father Gorian? For shame!

Notice it says “at a level they can handle”. And if it all goes terribly wrong there’s still powerful drugs for that too. So what is there to lose I say.

“Make someone do something they’re afraid of at a level they can handle and they get better at it and less afraid”. Not surprising. This is how I conquered my deep fear of flying. I took some flying l…

> Either shake your head from side to side or wave your open hand in front of the lights to test if there's a strobe effect. My method is filming any suspected bulb (not just Xmas lights) in s…

I simply can’t stand LED Christmas lights. Not only do they have a very different color temperature, but the refresh rate is so low that they appear to move when you look at them and it’s quite hard t…

I'd never heard of audio programming as such so what I expected this to be was a kind of talk-to-text keyboard-less programming.

Just another example of the major problem with pharma funding med schools, paying for continuing medical education, paying professors and other massive undisclosed conflicts of interest. The top med s…

That’s great, but then you’ll start backsliding on the “diversity and inclusion” scale. I think it’s a constant trade off. As individuals with preferences, humans can’t help but form in groups and out…

It seems like the UK government’s Treasure Act really incentivizes the right kind behavior in these situations. He found it, contacted the right people and once it gets evaluated he and the landowner …

The Big Lebowski :)

As others may have said, it really depends on the company. I got hired based on my github and what my favorite movie was. No whiteboard or algorithmic questions at all. Reams of blog posts have been …

I love follow-ups like this from experts like Joe. However, he seems quick to dismiss a couple things as improbable due to cost. I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be so sure considering we’re talking a nat…

Last I knew (a few months ago) we were somewhere less than 20 qubits and getting a straight answer on “does it work” depended on who was being interviewed. How do they have a 2048 qubit chip? And why …

True. Case in point, (the newly discovered 1300 year old book): http://www.openculture.com/2018/09/europes-oldest-intact-boo... …

Good point. I feel this fact is rarely touched on in discussions of inheritance but we’re seeing more and more the role that such changes play.

Thanks for the simple answer. Wouldn’t temperature still be intrinsic? Assuming there’s only one particle in the universe it would still have a temperature right? Yes it’s not in relation to anything …

This is awesome. One change I would make is click once on something to launch its description, click anywhere to close. Then the screen is free to select the next description on another item. Otherwis…

I would believe that. I paid for a kit, never got a confirmation. Waited a few months and finally contacted customer service. They said it would be shipped soon. It never was. I cancelled the order, a…

> We seem to think that once a proof is published in a reputable journal then it is definitely true, but really we should only think "a small number of qualified people have read it and think …

Seriously? I'm guessing you don't have children. Working to improve the life of your kids and grandkids is a real driver, and is the subject of the classic immigrant story for millions of pe…

I've got to mention https://www.logrocket.com , for error tracking, APM and user testing combined. Great price point, great support and absolutely changed the way we understand and cap…

"This building contains chemicals known to the state of New York to cause cancer"...

This. Nothing is 100% good or bad. The conversation on both sides has gotten laughably hyperbolic. Like any medical intervention the pros and cons of each vaccine need to be discussed rationally and w…

Yet another example of what constant consumption of hyperbolic media coverage about horrific cases does to our collective psychology and ability to assess risk. In Iceland they leave sleeping kids par…

English: Diverse, comprised of many elements from many languages, lots of little quirks, ability to express the same thing multiple ways, far from perfect but totally dominant. Javascript: ditto

I saw a joke headline last time I was in Rome that went something like "C Line construction halted to excavate ancient remains of C Line construction"

You can also try these tactile dots. They are the absolute best. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NEUIQFO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_... …

Brings to mind a recent quote that goes something like "Many of our brightest scientists are trying to figure out how to get you to buy one more thing or stay on a website a few seconds longer, i…
