Years ago when my wife and I we were planning to buy our home, my dad stunned me with a quick mental calculation of loan payments. I asked him how - he said he'd learned the strange formula for compound interest from his father, who was a merchant in 19th century Iran.

Provocative argument: Google Scholar (and its citation indexing predecessors) is the cause of the great stagnation in breakthrough innovation. By rewarding citation count, science has unknowingly shifted its emphasis from novelty to incremental work. https://t.co/ygDrkh1MgQ

The replies in this thread are disappointing. Paper prototyping: 1) is fast & fluid 2) allows u to sketch at speed of thought 3) is not restrained by limits or demands of a digital tool 4) elicits conversation in feedback 5) doesn’t hijack user’s brain like digital does.

Much Python wrangling later, I now have @BOM_au radars showing in HomeKit. Thank you homebridge!

@ReicherStephen No-one goes out shopping to "panic buy". What you see are individuals responding to uncertainty. People don't like uncertainty.
Throwing the term "panic buying" around detracts from the root of the problem.
Don't ask why are they panic buying. Ask why there is uncertainty.

Sad to hear today of the death of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He contributed so much through his research on creativity, which helped me decide to do a PhD, happiness, his concept of flow - which guides me daily - and more.

@BrigetteMetzler Fortunately I didn’t need to contend with the rivers. Only car parks. Though there is a real art to pushing a long line trolleys through a crowded car park!

Amazing advice, received today:

When dining at a restaurant, order whatever the fattest person at the table orders. It is invariably delicious.
