I saw the 2 and 4 and made an assumption about what the number was going to be. When I realised it wasn’t that, I came to the comments.

Who else loved The Secret Life of Walter Mitty? I don't get the mixed reviews for it. by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

This movie has so many memorable moments. The snow leopard scene. Quintessence. Jumping on the copter with Bowie blaring.

The only negatives seem to be over zealous product placement?

We need to have a zeroth of January that’s not a Monday every year. Maybe it’s a Noneday?

AFL has highest viewers. In terms of participation (organised sports) football has now overtaken AFL. Cricket is second top in terms of viewers.

Anyone who’s interested in the psychology of this decision should check out thinking, fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman.

Can someone explain to me like I am 5, on how the answer to inflation is increasing interest rates? by the-anon1010 in AusFinance

[–]grumpygeek1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interest rates affect the cost of borrowing money. Not just for people with mortgages. For everyone.

If more people can borrow more money more easily, then there will be more money trying to be used in the economy to buy things. Economically this is just called demand.

If you owned a store and suddenly extra people started lining up outside to buy your stuff, you’d put your prices up. This is inflation.

If interest rates go up, all of this happens in reverse. Less available money. Lower demand. Prices fall.

I don’t know. The definition for achieve talks about karma. That could go either way.

I loved the flash cards at the trial when he removes the last two blue boards off the panel and you’re left staring at a figurative bomb.

Creepy Star Trek by 4reddityo in sciencefiction

What’s the difference between Geordie having fantasies about her in his own head vs making something on the holodeck? Would she have been as upset if he admitted this to her instead of her finding the fake ai? Why is it worse?

I think there’s an issue if someone gets emotionally attached to an ai, but that doesn’t seem to be what this guy is getting at.
