Learn the Landscape Before Putting on Blinders: How to Direct Diligence Toward Remarkable Results
Study Hacks5 Feb 2012 | 1:01 pmThe Five Year Eureka Moment Daniel Kahneman met Amos Tversky in 1969 when Tversky came to Hebrew University to give a talk. As Kahneman recalls in his 2011 intellectual biography, Thinking, Fast and Slow, the two researchers hit it off and decided to pursue a joint project: figuring out if some people had more of an intuitive grasp of statistics than others.

Do aliens go invisible by 'going green'?
9 Feb 2012 | 11:24 amAs we discover more and more planets around other stars, the Fermi Paradox is becoming, well, more paradoxical. The Fermi Paradox simply asks the question "where are they?" Our Milky Way galaxy is so big and so old -- and we are estimated to be accompanied by at least 100 billion planets -- that aliens should have visited us by now. Instead, when we peruse the heavens, we are faced with the Great Silence, which is one of the biggest challenges to modern astronomy. Full story at Discovery News.

Mysterious sounds reported around the world
9 Feb 2012 | 11:23 amPeople around the world have reported hearing strange sounds from the skies over the past month. Sometimes they describe it as a hum or low rumble; other times it’s a whine, thump, or even a melody. Often the sounds have been recorded and posted online, fueling rumors and conspiracy theories. One blogger wrote, "either the world is ending, aliens are landing or everyone is getting hoaxed. Or, possibly, there’s an actual scientific explanation for the mass amount of YouTube videos capturing bizarre sounds that are being heard around the globe. Are we witnessing the beginning of a… -

Inside Syria's capitol: nervously normal
9 Feb 2012 | 11:18 amAs the violence in Syria continues to escalate, Syrian citizens are arming themselves to resist their oppressive regime. For days, Homs, the third-largest city in Syria, has endured shelling, tanks and attacks by heavy weaponry.

Closing Your Interests Opens More Interesting Opportunities: The Power of Diligence in Creating a Remarkable Life
29 Jan 2012 | 1:50 pmThe Banjo Player Steve Martin made the comments around twenty minutes into his 2007 interview with Charlie Rose. They were talking about how Martin learned the banjo. “In high school, I couldn’t play an instrument,” Martin admits. “I remember getting my first banjo, and reading the book saying ‘this is how you play the C chord,’ and I put my fingers down to play the C chord and I couldn’t tell the difference.” “But I told myself,” he continued, “just stick with this, just keep playing, and one day you’ll have been playing… -
Distraction is a Symptom of a Deeper Problem: The Convenience Principle and the Destruction of American Productivity
21 Jan 2012 | 9:19 amThe following line is from an e-mail I recently received from Georgetown’s HR department. It references “GMS,” the slick new database system they installed to unify all employee services: Please remember to log in to GMS a few times each day to check your Workfeed for any items requiring your attention and/or approval. Among the tenure-track faculty, the message was a source of amusement: the idea that professors at a research university should be checking with the HR department several times a day, just in case there is some administrative task waiting for them to complete,… -

Intelligence is Irrelevant: An MIT Alum’s Advice to a Struggling Student
9 Jan 2012 | 1:00 amA Reddit Gem A reader recently sent me a link to this fascinating Reddit thread. It’s titled:”I’m not as smart as I thought I was,” and it features a high school senior worried that his intellectual abilities are lacking. Over 700 people wrote comments in response. One of the top comments was from an MIT graduate who had struggled with and then overcame similar feelings of inadequacy when he first arrived in Cambridge. Below, I’ve reproduced key passages from his note (edited slightly), as I think he has something important to say — for both students and…

The Far Side of Moon: A Rare Glimpse
9 Feb 2012 | 8:00 amHere’s something you don’t see every night: the far side of the Moon, photographed by one of NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft. The Moon is “tidally locked” in its orbit around the Earth, meaning its rotational and orbital periods are exactly synchronized. As a result, we always see the same view of the Moon no matter when or where (on Earth) we look at it. In this interesting video, released last week by NASA, we get a rare glimpse of the Moon’s other side, starting with the north pole and moving toward the heavily cratered… -
The Internet Imagined in 1969
9 Feb 2012 | 5:00 amThe gender stereotypes might be backward-looking (we’ll make up for it later in the day), but the technological vision is on the mark, right down to email, e-commerce and online banking. Of course, these weren’t the only people imagining an electronic, connected world during the 1960s. In 1964, the futurist Arthur C. Clarke peered into the future and saw our connectedness coming. By 2000, he predicted, “We could be in instant contact with each other, wherever we may be,” and “it will be possible in that age … for a man to conduct his business from Tahiti… -

Neil Young on the Travesty of MP3s
8 Feb 2012 | 8:02 amNeil Young made headlines last week when he appeared at the Wall Street Journal’s “D: Dive Into Media” conference and voiced his disapproval of the way music is being heard these days. “We live in a digital age,” Young said, “and unfortunately it’s degrading our music, not improving it.” Young is deeply dissatisfied with the sound quality of compressed MP3 digital files, which he said carry only five percent of the data from the original vinyl or master recordings. “It’s not that digital is bad or inferior,” he told the…

How to Buy from Costco Without a Membership
5 Feb 2012 | 12:37 amLike most college students, two adjectives that describe me very well are cheap and lazy. And that’s exactly why I love buying in bulk at warehouse stores like Costco – not only do you save money buy buying wholesale, but you can also be super lazy by just buying food and supplies to last the entire month! Unfortunately, Costco requires a membership just to get in, let alone to buy anything. Fortunately, I’ve figured out a clever way to shop at Costco without a membership! If you know that you’re not going to shop at Costco that often (maybe once a month or less), save yourself… -

Where to get iPad Textbooks
22 Jan 2012 | 2:21 amAn eTextbook isn't just an eBook version of a textbook; it's an interactive educational tool. That’s what Apple is trying to achieve in their push for iPad textbooks, something they hope will disrupt the $8 billion textbook market. Built-in video, interactive 3D objects, and the ability to highlight content (that can be automatically turned into flash cards when preparing for exams) are just a few of the features of textbooks on the iPad.

A Look at Expensive Schools and their Net Price
5 Dec 2011 | 11:00 pmCurious to see how much the ranking would change, we took our list of the 100 most expensive schools and found the average need-based grant given at each school as listed at the College Board. This data was then applied to the total cost of each school in an effort to find the net price: the cost after scholarships and grants are deducted. Just because a college is listed among the most expensive colleges, doesn’t mean a student will be paying that amount. As mentioned in the ranking, they are sticker prices. As you will see below, many colleges provide substantial grants that greatly…

And even though I systematically decline, I admit it’s not a horrible idea in theory. After all, when my daughters are engrossed in a show, it’s true that I could run naked through the room with my hair on fire and they probably wouldn’t notice (unless I stopped to smolder directly in front of the TV,… -
