Factorio works because the gameplay is completely original. It scratches a building + automating + researching loop that no other game has. Many people compare it to programming or…

First Aid Kit is a Swedish band with some really great lyrics. One song that's intrigued me with it's ambiguity is Emmylou, which contains the line: Stockholm's cold but I've been …

Really? I'd bet it will cover rent for some of the people in this study. It seems larger than other studies I've seen, but I haven't been following all of them.

I do like this, but wouldn't gyroscopic stabilizers to hold the pizza be cheaper? Apparently they've tried them in the past: https://www.adweek.com/creativity/dominos-wants-roll-ou…

I don't think we're hallucinating the overtones here - with an EQ (like in the link I believe) you can clearly separate the high and low freqs, and they sound like different words.…

I can do "brain needle" or "green storm". Just like Yanny / Laurel, I believe the lower voice (brainstorm) is what is intended to be heard. The distortion artifacts in the higher f…

The electronic musician Max Cooper used the Sacks Spiral in his live AV setup for his album Emergence. His lecture isn't the most concise but he touches on a lot of things that mig…

I doubt it's the same cultural effect, but in India head-shaking while talking (usually to indicate agreement or understanding) is super common, and often throws visitors off when …

In India, Ola also seems to have nicer car models than Uber, at least at the cheapest price point without sharing your ride with a stranger. Coupled with the wi-fi and the entertai…

Yes, these are capital gains taxes. If you buy a bunch of crypto in a year, and sell none, you owe no capital gains taxes for that year. You only pay capital gains taxes on them in…

Yeah, the sample rate is really low (I assume to make it more performant) so they all sound bitcrushed.

Both points are true: Don't hire a role you think you need until you're sure you need it. Sometimes startups think "we need an HR person" or "we need a marketing person" before tho…

I would agree that it looks very complex today. But it's not too challenging to learn. I would advise learning React (they have both create-react-app and Expo now to make the exper…

But those things were all there back when this hypothetical farmer wasn't making any money. Tragedy of the commons, perhaps.

Maybe I'm wrong here, but doesn't investing in normal startups require being an accredited investor? I see ICO's as marketing investment opportunities to unaccredited investors. I …

Absolutely, it's not a new thing. I don't mean to be implying it's a new development, or limited to these schools. Just expressing how sad and frustrating it can feel as an archite…

What do they mean "no one's talking about it"? That's just clickbait, it's been talked about widely that seed funding has been declining, but Series A and later rounds are staying …

I think it's worrisome because it means people are keeping their money in stocks - they aren't acting as if the market as overvalued, even when everyone's talking about it (which c…

This article is spot-on. I've seen this firsthand at both USC and Wash U. in St. Louis, and the author's conclusion (that universities think building in the style of their oldest b…

Sorry, maybe I'm just tired, but I'm confused by your post. > 15% of your money in something technically promising but risky isn't really worth the time you'd have to put into the …

There is no doubt that managing expenses is very difficult on a minimum-wage or close to it job in most cities in the U.S. But when you start getting closer to the median income in…
