100% agree with it. As a child, I always felt most creative when the number of lego pieces was limited. Like, what can I make that's cool with just these two handfuls of lego? Wher…

This has been my son's experience as well (Grade 4). We are on week 6 of home-school, and by far the thing that energizes him, lifts his mood, and gets him through his work is any …

It sometimes fascinates me (and scares the shit out of me) to wonder at all of the little errors/assumptions like this that are baked into the millions of spreadsheets that form th…

Fool me once, shame on me... fool me twice, er... don't fool me agian.

If I remember the study correctly, the scientists actually stated that it is clear that there is not one single "gay gene", but that (like many other traits) instead there are like…

Do you know of any good "office" applications in the VR space?

Jarring to see pics of such an advanced-looking drone being pulled around the tarmac by what looks like a berry picker truck.

For me, this is fantasy hockey. I don't even like to watch hockey anymore, but I enjoy the daily interaction with my friends who are no longer in the same city and busy with their …

By the end of the first paragraph, I felt as though I was reading through Anathem again. I have never read any other writing that gave me flashbacks like that to Neal Stephenson's …

Your comment reminds me of the exercise where a class was split into two cohorts, one was tasked with producing just one clay pot (I can't remember the thing now), while the other …

Never forgetting or forgiving seems like an ineffective response. My entire being yearns for more.

This is the type of thing that I imagine the "data suckers" (Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon) are able to do regularly with the complex data that they have and the advanced tools t…

Are there any structures that kids can get involved with (or the family) that will provide some of "complex society" feel?

I'm still taken aback by how quickly government (federal, state) allowed testing of driverless cars on public roads. Feels like a cold calculation made on behalf of citizens to say…

I love how a font can inspire this kind of deep, primal anger. Like smelling salts for the feels.

Bojack has been like a remote group therapy session for me in this regard. Especially leading up to the season 2 finale with that running scene. Bojack isn't hilarious. It funny so…

Can someone help me understand how to read/interpret this graph? I tried to make sense of it, but I think I was only fooling myself. I need to get planed.

I would love to watch/hear someone go about solving these problems, just to see their approach and thought patterns.

Brings back many memories. Back in around 2000/01, the website had complete contact information for Gene Ray including phone number. So I called him up and he rambled at me for abo…

Count of Monte Cristo and East of Eden. I'm happy to have had the chance to read these books twice (first in my early 20s, again in my late 30s), but I only wish I could compare my…

Clicking on the link provided in the email pre-populated the "email" section on the sign-in page with my phone number. Clicking on the "email" section to correct cleared all data i…
