I have heard that this is called the Benjamin Franklin effect, and it appears to be an inversion of the principle of reciprocity coined by Robert Cialdini.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if I'm the only one who really tried to learn to juggle, only to fail even after a whole month of brute-forcing it, while my partner at the time, who started at my suggestion, managed it after 30 minutes! That was 15 years ago...

>It doesn't mean they are going to call up the draft.

Are you aware of the concept of "boiling the frog"?

2027: "It's just calling up the draft. It doesn't mean they are going to be sent to the frontline."

I was always curious about how Tay worked technically, since it was build before the Transformers era.

Was it based on a specific scientific paper or research?

The controversy surrounding it seemed to have polluted any search for a technical breakdown or a discussion, or the insights gained from it.

Could you perhaps link a picture of that vehicle?

As searching for "luny cycle" doesn't bring up anything relevant.

However, there this, which looks like an interesting take on the unicycle concept:

Paywalled article. Seeing that OP almost exclusively submits links to their own paywalled blog, I'm not sure if this doesn't fall under HN's "blogspam" rule.

> there will be large posters reminding the doctors "Could it be sepsis?"

I'm not sure how effective this is. Information presented this way quickly fades into background noise..

>Like Kim Peek or Scott Flansburg?

Interesting cases, thanks for sharing. I didn't know what real-life inspiration the movie "Rain Man" came from. However, the two people seem to be worlds apart socially. While Peek seems to be extremely "stunted" in his social development, Flansburg appears to be coping well with his position as a speaker, which I always thought to be rather unusual for people with autism spectrum disorder.
