This is similar to a popular game we used to play in recess (or sometimes during class) in high school, when IT rooms first started to become a thing. The idea was to start on a random article and try to reach pages of famous historical political figures by clicking as few links as possible, or by being the fastest.

This takes a bit of playing around with. You can explore the entire letterboxd movie catalogue and apply various filters and sorts, ideal for discovering new movies.

Yeah, coaching and mentoring are totally different things. Coaching is more structured—you teach people a skill or process you’ve mastered. Mentoring is way more personal. It’s about actually understanding someone, their goals, their struggles, and helping them figure stuff out.

That’s why good mentoring is so hard to find. It takes real effort and emotional investment. You can’t just scale it up infinitely. But even a little bit of good mentoring can be life-changing.

Then they write geopolitical analysis or whatever with enormous confidence, frequently calling out the experts in the field as idiots.

Slightly OT, and of course only half anonymous but for example G.S. Bhogal really fits that bill. His posts come up here occasionally and I get a kick out of them but the real gold is in his twitter (1) Don't listen to the haters and make sure to follow for quality life advice (like don't listen to politicians and journalists because they're all corrupt liars, or that "below average IQ" people should reproduce as to not spread their genes, and the really smart people don't need friends or go outside, what they need a "circle" of other highly intelligent people like themselves on X

The film was controversial even before its release and it has remained so ever since; it has been called "the most controversial film ever made in the United States" and "the most reprehensibly racist film in Hollywood history." The film has been denounced for its racist depiction of African Americans. The film portrays its black characters (many of whom are played by white actors in blackface) as unintelligent and sexually aggressive toward white women. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a white supremacist far-right hate group, is portrayed as a heroic force that protects white women and maintains white supremacy.

I agree this is an interesting take and fun to think about. But if clocks rounded to the nearest minute instead of truncating, the average error would be still be greater than 0 I think, and not 0, as the author claims. Assuming a sufficiently large number of measurements taken at random times, I think the average error would be 15 seconds.

Voting for this once in a lifetime opportunity was smart; maybe the smartest ever. The smartest people in the UK voted for brexit. You will totally see in a few years when they made Britain great again!
