I’m not sure if savant is quite the right word, but my son is a language genius. Taught himself to read at 3, started studying greek at 6, etc. We just finished a discussion about Navaho vs Georgian language structures,…

If I’m not mistaken, all three have erupted within a week’s time. Really just coincidence or is something happening? I have no expertise in this area.

It’s depressing to see more and more articles about people doing two or more remote jobs and cheating both companies. If this happens enough, I have to believe remote work companies will be less competitive. Excellent…

I have a son that is bit of a savant. He learned to read on his own at 3, started learning Greek on his own at 5, took French and German simultaneously in school, etc. He loves creating his own languages - I guess it's…

I've been sort of on the fence about climate change, but this article cites so much evidence it can't be ignored. If I read this correctly, it looks like a 3.5C change is coming in 20 years, at which point the food…
