In art, it looks like people on the outside think of "talent" as something you either have or don't, but people who are artists themselves and involved in an art community (online, in a school, etc.) tend to focus on…
It's supposed to stand for Not Only SQL, I think.
I don't think there's anything actually "leaner" going on here. If anything, it's the reverse - much higher investment of effort up-front for supposedly avoiding risk of bad hiring choices and effort replacing them…
This is reminding me of my first intern job, when I'd gotten an email about "donating vacation days" to someone with an extended illness who'd used up theirs. I didn't have any vacation days anyway because I was hourly,…
I imagine that how organized the unused stuff is would be a factor in how high the tax is. If you can't remember that you own it and where it is when you need it, there's no usefulness to having it. If it's getting in…
22, and remember being a kid and finding sentimental value in many, many more things than I do now. Part of it might be that the novelty of having things at all wears off over time.
This sounds very similar to Alicorn's How to Have Things Correctly http://lesswrong.com/lw/eyt/how_to_have_things_correctly/
Probably halo effects have something to do with it? I do think that personality and behavior can influence attraction really, really strongly. And I suspect that how much each factor matters, and what kind of…
For me, reading this kinda felt like a reminder that I was in a space that's mostly men - a reminder that I'm a minority here, but not that bothersome. I can imagine it being more bothersome to other women, and the…
Critique groups and beta readers?
This is a good point. Though there do seem to be a few lower-stress workplaces out there - Vanguard seems to be one of them, in terms of not having much crunch time or overly-long hours. They're pretty sociable people,…
The reason why artificial flavors in general are different, is that a plant's flavor is made of a lot of different chemicals, and artificial flavorings only include the most noticeable (and least expensive) ones - so…
Basic meaning: doing a thing to send a message about yourself to others. Like wearing expensive brands to signal that you're rich. But good signalling involves some additional factors. Signalling is usually used when…
Or in the case of VC firms, would like their investors to believe this.
Maybe a color picker that includes all colors isn't the goal? When people first start learning digital painting (painting in Photoshop, Gimp, etc), a lot of them draw landscapes with chartreuse grass, because they used…
This is my problem too. I've mostly given up trying to nap because falling asleep takes so long that it's not worth it.
I like this idea. I notice that I tend to get more ideas when I'm stuck waiting for something or doing chores, than when sitting at the computer and reading things is an option.
Is that compared to the general population overall, or a subset? It might be more informative to look at the subset that actually starts down the road of making discoveries in mathematics - maybe just people who attempt…
That's basically what it is, and maybe also a mindset of believing you matter as your own person, rather than just a means to and ends. Having at least some selfishness of that sort (at least when living in a culture…
I think the actual issue is their approach to learning, rather than their approach to math. The exercise with probability was meant to help them understand what probabilities are, so the process was more important than…
I have some problems that I don't have any particular diagnosis for. Is there any way I can find out whether it's worth trying this? Is it a problem for someone to get a transplant when they don't actually need it? (The…
I was a bit confused about the spam thing too. Was the intended meaning that URL shorteners indicate the link is spam, or that trading off user experience for analytics makes it spam? (Or in the spirit of spam, or…
I once saw some meta-advice, that for almost all advice, there's people who need to hear it, and people who need to hear the exact opposite. I suspect that applies here; some teams communicate too much, others…
I'd imagine a lot of that increase has to do with fewer people going diagnosed, rather than more people having ADHD in the first place. People become more aware of the symptoms and realize they can get help, they're…
I'm curious - does anyone else have a mental habit of trying to notice bystander effect situations and taking it as your job to handle them if you're able? I've had this habit for about a year. So far, called the police…
