Very interesting points! Thank you for that counter :) And yes, Taleb has shown to be a very confident writer...

I just so happen to be currently reading about this in The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. He says: "From predator-prey models (the so-called Lotka-Volterra type of population dynamics…

Something that I've been learning lately is that balance is vital to survival. I'm a student, and I had a burnout a couple months ago. Thankfully, I was able to learn important thi…

I think there is absolutely a place and time for writing the way you talk and that the same goes for writing formally. The discussion of when and where for either case is a topic i…

We plebs are fully aware that the odds are stacked against us. I don't expect it to change soon, if ever. And if anything, it just makes us harder than our marshmallow-like upper-c…

I'm in the same boat, It's really been a boon for self-improvement. There is a lot of value in being your own harshest critic.

I bought the pro version a couple months ago and I'm sure it's already paid for itself. In the past I couldn't even have games installed on my computer for fear of getting sucked i…

I'm just another chronic procrastinator and from what I've experienced there is no single "cure". Here's where I stand in trying to solve my own procrastination problems: - Removed…

I'm a vet with a security clearance. When I heard about the breach at OPM I obviously wasn't happy but figured there was not much to do about it. I just tell myself that there's no…

I work on an Ubuntu vm, the only reason I use Windows, really, is for games and likely just out of habit. I don't think it will be much longer until I actually make the switch.

I recently switched from Bitdefender to AVG, and like you just uninstalled AVG. I'm not sure where to go from here.

This. At the end of the day it's up to you to find/make the time to balance your life out. I've been learning a lot lately about balance, it's more important than I used to think. …

That is common in Japan among jobs from office workers to mechanics. I was stationed there for some years and when we were in port the Japanese workers on the base would all line u…

I'm in the same boat man. We just need a little tamper-proof dispenser that only allows us a certain amount for a given period of time. Like you, I'm better off without it. But I d…

I am one of those college students and actually I have been smoking way too much. I just recently stopped and now I sleep much better, getting up in the morning is way easier, I ju…

Good for him, chase your dreams.

Well, good to know. I guess I'm not familiar with how things can be done. Thanks for the heads up.

I feel as though both parties could have handled that better. Contacting a company about a security vulnerability via a tweet, there must be a better way about that. And the compan…

All this just makes me sick and angry. I wonder if congress will ever represent the people.

When I'm wrestling with a problem I'll sometimes go outside and pace back and forth in my yard. Pacing has been a habit of mine since I was a kid, I remember doing it one time my m…

Never give up. I have a poster on the wall behind my monitors of the 5th Solvay Congress in Brussels. It has many of the greats including Planck, Curie, Lorentz, Einstein, Schrodin…

When I was in high school I was always fascinated by the stories I'd hear about hackers, I was just a lowly gamer back then. I always told myself something along the lines of "thes…

Hearing this from someone like yourself brings me great joy... In 2011 after my time in the military was through I made a decision to get into infosec. I didn't know how to code, h…

Thank you for the link, I think this will help a good deal.

I've been interested in trying LSD since my friend offered but am hesitant because I don't know how it will interact with my medication (SSRIs). On a side note, I do like to smoke …
