This year I read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman and absolutely loved it. I was surprised this list did not contain it.

Looks like I've got quite a few books to read.


so, thinking fast and slow has received a fair amount of criticism, both here on HN and elsewhere. Some previous threads & links that may be of interest (and perhaps value!) to you. Start with this:

Just to be clear, I think its a great book; but there are, apparently, as for all things human, limitations & errors here and there. :)

Sorry!


No igloos yet, I'm disappointed.


When I was growing up a guy on my street had a dog sled and people would drive their snowmobiles to high school.

Sad to see that my culture is not represented here.


Then you know the answer


I honestly don't know what you might be thinking of Chrome doing that 'enables' AMP. If you said Google Search enabled AMP, by only allowing AMP documents in the carousel for example, I would agree. But I can't think of any Chrome-specific features that AMP depends on, and I believe Google (and Bing) currently serve AMP to Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.


I got used to capslock in less than a day when I got MBP. I recommend BetterTouchTool to remove the faux escape key and replace it with something as annoying as "Previous track".

After listening to the same track for a few hours it really stuck.


"lolcows"? These people are calling others eccentric?


"lolcow" is a way to denigrate someone who is excessively dramatic or responsive on the internet and should be 'milked' for reactions for the amusement of others ('lols').


This is a very common rationalization for provoking people, which admittedly has some legs, IMO (i.e. I think there are excessively reactionary people who perhaps deserve to be challenged - this is something late night comedy shows frequently do, or did). However, frequently, in practice, the definition of "excessively" is pushed until it means "has any reaction". I.e. "the fact that you reacted negatively when I insulted you means that I'm retroactively justified and will continue to escalate insulting you."
