One show , I don't recall the name,asked people answer some question like what is distance between NY to LA. They could choose any range as the answer and the right answer had to fall in that range.So to win people just had to select huge range like 0 to 1 million miles and be sure they got the answer right .However people would mostly select a narrow range that they felt was the right answer and got it wrong frequently. I think it is some desire not to sound stupid even though there is a incentive to select a ridiculous range.I think this desire not to sound stupid could be at play here as well so people choose things that to them seems reasonable even when asked about their ideal life.

How did countries like England deal with the shutting down of coal mines in the 80s ? Was there any reskilling program.

Does anyone know how NK is able to successfully fully develop Nuclear and missile tech inspite of sanctions. I believe many countries like Iran Iraq have been trying without success for many years

Thank you for pointing to excellent resource like circuit labs.I was able to get a better understanding after running the simulation. Looking forward to your book

Thank you for the excellent summary. Based on your input and u/flavio81 response I have purchased a book on basic of electricity and that will hopefully enable me to understand and interpret circuit diagrams

Thank you for the detailed steps. Based on your list I purchased "Teach yourself electricity and electronics" which has content similar to the order you have listed. Hopefully ramping up on the basics will enable understanding of circuit diagrams

Does anyone have recommendation on a simple self contained primer to understand electronic circuits as shown in this article. Article is very interesting but am hampered by lack on ability to understand the circuit diagram.
Ask HN: Difference in management styles of Ulrich Drepper and Linus Torvalds
Linus Torvalds stewardship is often cited as critical factor in thriving linux kernel development Ulrich Drepper is often cited for preventing widespread community contribution to glibc and causing forks such as eglibc. For casual observer like me it appears both are technically brilliant individuals who have strong opinions and dont suffer fools lightly. What caused linux to thrive ? Was it...

Ask HN: Why what worked for GE didnt work for Microsoft
The HR principle of proactively identifying and removing the bottom 10 percent of workforce is cited as one of the great innovations under Jack Welch and as one of the factors in the great progress of GE under his leadership. However a similar method is cited as the reason for Microsoft's lost decade where really smart ppl left the company due to politics introduced by this HR policy and it...
Ask HN: Why are VCs needed?
My father worked in a bank and one of the main tasks of commercial banking was to give loans to start businesses. The entrepreneur has full ownership of the company and loan was repaid at normal interest rate. Why dont tech companies use this method and why do they need VC funding instead. If the entrepreneur is confident of his revenue model why not get a bank loan and start his company
