Wow, is REALLY that the point of the conversation? Or even worth mentioning?

WTH cares whether a tiny portion of those supposed to be inspired are under the impression they earned a PhD or something?

Totally a non sequitur.

thanks!

Interesting way of doing use of the knowledge about cognitive dissonance. Ill reserve my spot and check if op is full of fluffy or not.

If it leads to at least one good insight, the money will pay itself many times over.

I feel exactly the same way.

It makes things seem obscure and that's where guys like Deepak Chopra come in.

The most intelligent question ever raised that I saw. It left me thinking too, thank you.

>"there are certain positions of power from which I do not appreciate joking."

Exactly how I feel.

And no way it was a joke, since he used bad words in the original post I haven't translated, which indicates he was really pissed off and writing fluently.

this seems interesting.

Don't worry, I'll come next.

>Now go, and to great things worthy of honor.

Ok, even I felt motivated after reading this. Thanks!

This is totally what you need to read.

Inception OST is insane too. Live long, Hans Zimmer!

>There are tons of other blogs out there (The Art of Ass Kicking, etc.), but I generally find the other options to be too 'commercialized' for my liking, and they're filled with those really short, hyped up kinda articles.

yeah, the same here. I usually prefer authors who write for the sake of writing: the content is more "pure".

I second your recommendation on Sebastian's site. I'd add:

- Skinner Layne http://skinnerlayne.com/blog/ - Games and Strategy http://gamesnstrategy.blogspot.com/ (about strategy, lifehacks, history etc) - The Rationalist Conspiracy http://rationalconspiracy.com/ (For rationality stuff)

it's sad, because first reading that I thought it was a bad joke.

>Then like a tidal wave of self-hatred, I saw my recent life in the third person, and was horrified.

wow, this seems like a good heuristics, never thought of that.

Oh, I see. So it was more of a question that I could not observe how this would be built than its effectiveness per se. Thanks for clarifying.

On a side note, they mention one equipment like that in this novel(a hell of a good scifi): The Martian, by Andy Weir. Available for free online, really funny.

Interesting... thanks! I'm on windows, but bookmarked your project for the future ;-)

Ok, let me rewrite.

The acceleration I feel is in the head-feet direction, so it's relevant for the muscles, since their fibers seems to be aligned in this direction. The centripetal acceleration would be perpendicular to the usual muscular development, so... in this scenario, would that place still work for astronaut's body?

How a rotating space would help the problems with lack of gravity? I mean, our gravity is up-down and the acceleration from a rotating environment would be lateral. Doesn't that make difference to our body?

wow, just... WOW.

I've never seen a simulation of Game of Life in several levels; it's yet more impressive than I thought Game of Life could be per se.

Really? Could you expand on that? I've read it this year and haven't found it special. A little tiring, actually.

Best book of the year by far.

A hell of a fiction, but the most important part is that it awakens on the reader the awe to the universe and the fascination to science, rationality, evolution, etc.

>I immediately noticed this feature due to the high number of discards

the same here.

Thank you, I always wanted to read it on my kindle.

>Isn't it actually necessary?

That... actually makes sense.

Hm... your comment sounded quite strange.

Do you really know we're talking about NDT, right? One of the most hard-working scientists when it comes down to educate people. And you're saying this:

> If you get off your high-horse and actually talk to them, you'll find that they are just as brilliant as you, in their own ways.

That doesn't make any sense to me.

Great work. It works well, it identified everything correctly, including the Windows Version (8).

It's disturbing that you're not making any money out of it, but I'm all for it.

Kudos for you.

Wow, I haven't heard of supercooled water until now. It seems this transformation is almost like crystal formation in one supersaturated solution.

I'll check the youtube videos, thanks.

edit: duh, it's exactly the same process of crystal formation.

Thanks! Really really insightful.

please, could you elaborate on this? I loved the metaphor.
