It's only been a few years. Not everyone can churn out smash hits like clockwork, even if they are really talented. If he ever does create another big game, I'd expect it would be many years down the road, after he's…
I'm using Firefox and it kept crashing on me on about half the songs I tried.
I agree with your last sentence. The post has a vibe that I've noticed from some more socially awkward/not-totally-self-aware people, where they'll go to an event that pushes their comfort zone (usually a party or a…
Gotta disagree with your statement that extroverts all care about what people think of them. Just because someone is outgoing and energized by interpersonal interactions, it doesn't automatically mean they're a mindless…
I could make a really strong case that I'm introverted deep down and I get nervous about public speaking. I think what this really speaks to is that we should talk about specific traits one at a time, instead of trying…
I agree. I've been following Hacker News for a while, and I've noticed whenever one of these, "Introverts are actually misunderstood geniuses, Extroverts are really shallow and stupid"-type articles appears in a…
I live in Waterloo and also think it's a stretch to call it rural. Sure, it's not a metropolis, but there are about 500,000 people in the immediate region. Toronto, the country's largest city, is also only an…
A site I read on social skills has a post explaining why it doesn't use the words Introvert and Extrovert. The main points it gives are: * There are no agreed upon definitions of the terms * Just bringing up the terms…
Yeah that's me. An insignificant monthly cost to watch movies from the comfort of my couch, all with a handy recommendation system to turn me on to things I never would have found otherwise vs. the comparative hassle of…
"For their part, the British have what House calls the "etiquette of simulation". The British feign an interest in someone..." Or sometimes you're making small talk with someone because you actually are interested in…
Another critique you can level against CBT comes from the thinking behind Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I've read books on ACT that argue that trying to rationally challenge and control and manage your…
In my experience I haven't seen much link between gifted students being with their peers and their social awkwardness. I knew people in the program at my school, as well as several kids who qualified for it but their…
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you give an example of an expectation that someone would need to broadcast to others?

I think what the article is saying is not that never correcting a mistake is bad, but that pointlessly correcting people about minor things in the wrong context can be annoying.
For me it's the comfort factor. I stream Netflix through my Wii, so when I watch movies that way I get to sit on my couch and watch my big screen TV. When I watch stuff on my computer I have to sit in my uncomfortable…

As far as I know, a three point IQ difference doesn't have any practical effect. It may be statistically significant, but it's hardly a huge advantage to score three points higher than someone else.
