Just curious - have any investors pulled out of an investment because one or more of the most senior / talented employees of a firm has left to found their own or to join a competi…

Just living a modern urbanised life seems to be enough to drive humanity towards apocalypse within a few decades. Is that the case? If so, then I expect humanity to behave as it al…

What are the tool available to interspecies negotiators - stick / carrot diplomacy? Unfortunately the risks for anyone in control of budget to find solutions to these types of prob…

Shawshank Redemption has a great line: 'Get busy living, or get busy dying.' Act - even taking a walk can make a difference.

Inspirational to hear about people who defy the odds to live larger than life dreams. I wonder if they were less rare before the 1900s - maybe I just don't meet the types of people…

It would be great if it was possible to make it easier to assess unscrupulous behaviour by medical professionals and to weed out bad actors whilst simultaneously screening out dama…

Interesting video here of one of the San people running down a Kudu which collapses from exhaustion after an 8 hour chase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=826HMLoiE_o . Hard to com…

It makes sense that machine learning would be applied to personality types to correlate them against things like financial performance, level or field of education, personal health…

Thanks for your response - I was curious if AI and tech might be able to bridge from a suitably detailed statistical picture to (at least some) cases of underlying deterministic be…

Thanks for your response. I did chemistry and physics and uni (almost 30 years ago now) and I remember how complex some of the computer modelling that was done at the time was (eve…

Seems pretty straightforward to me: 1) programming objects have properties and methods; 2) within cells it is probably possible to have analagous entities (perhaps various types su…

What don't you understand?

I wonder if we could get AI to code biological outcomes using biomolecular objects (as in object oriented programming), and what level of computing technology / how comprehensive a…

Interesting - could really help some people who do not have a fixed address. Great to see that an employment services firm, Reed in Partnership, is one of the partners who will be …

If the actual bid is not going to go your way no matter what, and if possible, just advertise subsidiary products which might be bolt-ons to other projects that the customer may wa…

Climate change and associated socio-economic / political upheaval, ICE vs EVs, pandemics, and space colonisation are some of the headline points I picked up on in the article. But …

JRR Tolkien by Humphrey Carpenter. Author of Lord of The Rings and Oxford professor. Fascinating to get a broader idea of the person behind the fantasy world and to learn more of h…

It is tricky being in a community which is predominantly more moneyed than your family and burns a brand into poorer people that never goes away. Greasers and socs stay greasers an…

It would allow career diversification, though. Maybe there's a bit part going in Sly Stallone's 'Expendables 3194'?

Sometimes I sit and think; sometimes I just sit.

Really have to object to manuals of this kind - the B_INFINITE_TIMEOUT() function - see the miscellaneous functions link at the top of the page - seems to have been adopted by too …

Relentless, critical implementation of individual performance testing (e.g. football teams) might help shift organisational sclerosis. How can this be done for white collar roles? …

This is not a planning problem - this is a power problem. If competent and incompetent people alike are told to regard each other as peers in a meritocracy, a range of possible out…
