There was also some research suggesting that normal cells were insulated from some of the effects of chemo by a period of fasting. Tumor cells don't turtle up the way healthy cells do and so they absorbed higher relative doses.

I'm fuzzy on the details but I believe they were trying to explain why outcomes were statistically better for early morning treatments (people coming in with an empty stomach to deal with nausea)

> I wonder if we as a society will ever come around to treating insufficient sleep similarly to drunkenness or distraction for drivers. My intuition says it's similarly dangerous.

There are some regulations about minimum amounts of sleep for airline pilots.

I guess it would have a high cost and intrusiveness to try to document individual motorists' sleep, but I can imagine that if self-driving cars catch on as broadly and as quickly as many people have predicted, fatigued driving could become much more stigmatized and punished than it is today.
Definitely. This is a part of my professional life, so I get exposed to these issues all the time. TV, in particular, tends to be measured in very strange ways by DR advertisers because they appear to believe that advertising was invented along with the click, by Google (really Overture, but hey).

To be fair to offline, you can get a pretty good read on store sales as a function of advertising if you do geographical splits. Its modelled, and statistical, but there's definitely nothing wrong with that.

I think the online problem is harder because its so easy to measure clicks that people focus entirely on them without considering other approaches, whereas with offline its hard to get any measure, so people are willing to try different things.
OP asks for moments, gets things people started doing with no description of the moment.

For me it is taking extensive notes. Over the past year I started pay attention to the mannerisms, behavior, and personalities of the people whose position I wanted to take in the near future. One commonality among almost all of them: they take notes during almost every conversation and write notes throughout the day as they think of things.
Can You Really Be a Successful Entrepreneur and Full-Time Employee?
Yes! And it's just as sad. I think we will look back on this style of social organization as profoundly wasteful. I would much rather people spent their work time doing something that has intrinsic value beyond the salary.
What? That's absurd. It's not a non-sequitur. It's a statement that massive government research projects are exceptionally overpriced and inefficient.

Maybe a sarcastic comment isn't the most effective means of communication. But given the quality of the root comment I felt it appropriate.

Here. Let me paste a blurb by Richard Posner from An Economic Analysis of Copyright Law. Copyright law is not the same as patent law, of course. But the balance being sought is much the same.

"A distinguishing characteristic of intellectual property is its "public good" aspect. While the cost of creating a work subject to copyright protection—for example, a book, movie, song, ballet, lithograph, map, business directory, or computer software program—is often high, the cost of reproducing the work, whether by the creator or by those to whom he has made it available, is often low. And once copies are available to others, it is often inexpensive for these users to make additional copies. If the copies made by the creator of the work are priced at or close to marginal cost, others may be discouraged from making copies, but the creator’s total revenues may not be sufficient to cover the cost of creating the work. Copyright protection—the right of the copyright’s owner to prevent others from making copies—trades off the costs of limiting access to a work against the benefits of providing incentives to create the work in the first place. Striking the correct balance between access and incentives is the central problem in copyright law. For copyright law to promote economic efficiency, its principal legal doctrines must, at least approximately, maximize the benefits from creating additional works minus both the losses from limiting access and the costs of administering copyright protection."
> 1) The neighborhoods you are using to illustrate your point are tiny

Back Bay is also a tiny neighborhood. I don't know how much area each of these neighborhoods really covers, but Back Bay looks similar in size to Pacific Heights.

> 2) I'll entertain this though. Looking at all properties currently for sale on redfin in Presidio Heights and comparing the per square foot price to Back Bay, they are about the same.

As I mentioned in response to your other comment, comparing the most expensive areas is not actually very illuminating. Back Bay is not representative of Boston, just as Presidio is not actually representative of SF. Outliers are by definition not representative.

Back Bay is also an absurdly small sample. There are only 7 properties listed. Multiple units in the same brand new buildings are effectively the same sample. As I noted, Presidio actually has no new construction properties for sale. This isn't an accurate picture of SF, though. It's not really even an accurate picture of Prisidio, because the sampling is not reliable (zero samples for new construction, and only 6 samples for all construction).

> I hope that you can understand that my argument isn't that Boston is more expensive than SF on purchase price terms but that your money actually goes further in SF on a per square foot and amenities basis. I know it's not intuitive when Zillow is telling you that SF is more expensive than Boston in pure dollar terms but they don't answer the question of what does that extra money buy you and the answer is extremely tangible benefits.

I understand you're trying to make that point, but you're wrong. You don't have to live in Back Bay to have city living and a nice place in Boston. You can buy a nice place and have have 50 restaurants nearby in many neighborhoods in Boston.

Yes, Boston is expensive. No one is disputing that. It's not more expensive than SF. You are cherry-picking the most expensive neighborhood in all of Boston and comparing with an average neighborhood in SF. This is not like for like.

Average for 2005+ construction in SoMA is $783,000. The average for 2005+ in SF as a whole is $1,199,000. So you're actually not even comparing with an average for SF. You're comparing with a cheaper neighborhood. (Mostly it's cheaper because the sample size is too small. If you drop the 2005+ filter, the pricing for SoMA is basically the same as SF as a whole. Again, evidence that tiny samples of small neighborhoods is not a fair way to compare.)

TL;DR:

Stop working out. Blasphemy, I know.

Summary:

A decade long love-obsession with "health and fitness" has taught me that 99% of what our health industry says is nearly-useless or unhealthy.

Half the battle of "health" is to stop self-destruction: drug-abuse (obvious), working out "hard" (less obvious).

Replace gym and repetitive activity with natural exploratory movement. If you are "supposed to stretch" after, the workout wasn't healthy.

The other half is basic. In gentle regular moderation: sleep, eat decently and drink water, go for a walk outside, have some friends and some activities you enjoy.

Everything else is minutia and can be left to bodybuilders, professional athletes and fighters, and military personnel.
Only works if you don't use your own DNS.
I consider myself fortunate that I realized most of what was talked about in this article was true while I was about halfway through grad school. The fundamental realization that given the size of my classes, where my peers were competition for any academic job, combined with the fact that I would literally have to wait for someone to die before I could get one of those jobs, was enough to knock me right off of the academic track.

I might've even put up with postdoc hell, and the "6 year job interview " that is the tenure process if I thought it would have come to something. But, when you have 50 people competing for the same three openings in a year, and only one chance per year to apply, the odds don't look very good.
The most serious fallout damage from a US test was Castle Bravo[1], which had a yield roughly triple the predicted yield, so the damage from fallout was much worse than they had originally predicted. Most of the other tests did not cause significant increases to cancer risk for all but those very close to the tests

By "before" I meant the baldness-related research gets a lot more funding NOW, not that some sort of treatment was available historically, back when people were all a lot poorer:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bill-gates-...

“Our priorities are tilted by marketplace imperatives,” he said at the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Global Grand Challenges Summit.

“The malaria vaccine in humanist terms is the biggest need, but it gets virtually no funding. If you are working on male baldness or other things you get an order of magnitude more research funding because of the voice in the marketplace than something like malaria.”

And if you think that is stupid, here is what others say:

Mr Gates’ complaint is echoed by the Global Forum for Health Research, which estimates that only 10 per cent of worldwide expenditure on health research is devoted to the problems that afflict 90 per cent of the world’s population – the so-called 10/90 gap. Malaria is estimated to have killed 660,000 people in 2010, most of them African children. About half of the world’s population is at risk. The transmission of the disease can be controlled by distributing cheap mosquito nets treated with insecticides. Research into a vaccine for the disease has so far failed to yield any results.

In Belgium that is also mostly the case. But at my current company we have a 40 hour weeks (and a lot of unpaid overtime) because for some bizarre reason management is convinced "that is how successful Silicon valley does it". I personally think that American dominance in technology has to do with other things than low pay/max hours, but who am I.

This is the first time in more then a decade that I am working in such a regime and I'm not really convinced that I am now more productive then ever. Au contraire, I have the feeling that I'm working more on autopilot and I'm a lot less creative in solving problems.

In the past when I was dealing with a problem, solutions often came when I was doing something mundane like driving or gardening. I got my best solutions/idea's when I was away from my computer. The moment you could switch off and put your unconscious mind to work, now I frankly don't have the time.

There was an pretty stellar coverage of the topic in the epic The Great War documentary from PBS sometime back. I can't find the video but I hit the 3rd episode title Mutiny that looks like its the one. Watching this as a young teen really haunted me back then, they created a whole ambiance to the film that still gives me chills.

If you think about it, complete replication of any experiment is useless, and impossible.

But that doesn't matter, because it is not the experiment you are trying to replicate, is the effect or the observation.

Carefully changing the design of the experiment can allow to verify that your explanation of the effect or observation is accurate.

Of course, if the change the experiment too much, a failure to replicated will have less useful information.
You know, earlier today I was thinking, "wouldn't it be great if we all just used one programming language for everything?" And I tried to imagine which one it could be. And all had different strengths and weaknesses. C is great for raw speed, but ends up with very rigid programs, and is easy to shoot your foot in. Rust solves the second problem but not the first. Ruby solves both, but is much slower. LuaJIT solves all these, but doesn't have a great ecosystem. Etc etc etc. Every programming language exists because someone needed the trade-offs that it made, and no other language before it made them. And the package management situation of a given language is usually tied to the nature of how that language works, meaning you can't just use Homebrew to install Python and Lua and Ruby and Node and Rust packages.
Keyboardhitter is right, the vast majority of meditators recommend trying to observe and let go of thoughts that pass as opposed to trying to stop thoughts. The problem with trying to stop thoughts is similar in trying to not think of pink elephants.

Mindfulness one of the key skills(if not THE key skill) exercised by meditation is the ability to be aware of one's own thoughts and feelings, and this is practiced primarily by
listening to what thought's were having, and letting them go.

Why is it unethical to charge for public domain images?
I'm not saying this is what happened here, but there are many reasons to charge for public domain images, and for someone to pay. One big reason is for proof they are public domain. If my business was using images, I would want to make sure I have the right to republish those images. Even if that means I have to pay for public domain images.
Getty is providing a service and they are charging for it. Sure, perhaps you can go elsewhere to get those same images for free... Then you should do so if you don't want to pay the fee. But there is nothing unethical about charging for public domain images... Now sueing people because they didn't not pay you for those images is wrong. The federal good government needs to get involved in this as well.
Governments have lots of money.

Even if a government research department was 20% less effective than an equivalent private sector research department (which I strongly doubt; they're probably equivalent), it would still be more cost effective. Pharma marketing budgets are titanic and that's an epic waste of money.

1. Get a job that pays upwards of 100k/year

2. Live below your means so you can save ~50%

3. Continue for six years

4. Boom, you're up 300k from where you started.

There some minor things you can do to boost your savings like make sure to put all savings in low cost mutual funds and don't save a penny until all loans are paid off (and pay them off in order of interest rate, not in order of magnitude of the loan!) but that's the essence of it.

It is an investment from a managerial accounting perspective (how the business really works), no matter what it's called by financial/tax accounting (how the business formally reports its status). Expenses, such as taxes or the electric bill, pay for things you use up. You can't keep them, keep using them, or resell them. But R&D is an attempt by management to produce IP assets, some of which will be used for years and can even be embodied in patents and sold, like land or machinery.

Financial accountants can't deal with the unpredictable outcome and the fact that even success is hard to quantify. They can't put the million-dollar payment in one column and the specific million-dollar asset that was purchased in the matching column, which is required to make the books balance, so they call it an expense.

It's not a case of something that is really an expense but is mistaken for an investment by "laymen". On the contrary, it is really an investment in IP asset creation by management that financial accountants have to treat as an expense, like paying taxes, due to limitations in the accounting "technology" they are required to use.
Any literature / movies you would recommend for a deeper dive into that?

Wow I thought eating out 2-3 times a week was in the normal/high range. Maybe it's one of those US vs Europe things.

Also frozen pizza is kind of an expensive meal once you have access to a kitchen.

From the German newspaper FOCUS:

"Half an hour after the shooting started the British intelligence service GCHQ intercepted phone calls, e-mails and SMS from within the Turkish government apparatus saying that the purges would start next day and that Gülen should be presented as the mastermind of the coup"

Still too early to confirm since it's the only publication that claims this.
Don't forget that 120days for normal people is
actually 120 business days, or 40 weeks...

I believe your math is a bit off there.

120 business days / 5 days per week == 24 weeks

So a bit under six months as some months have 5 weeks in them. This would project out to over $80k per annum, but as indicated in the article, attempting to keep this pace up for an entire year would be grueling.

I linked the CPU specs because it shows the difference between what you're buying. The author stated "i7" like all i7s are the same. They're not.

The GPU is important outside of games because the display on new Macbook Pros are retina displays. What the advances in the integrated GPUs and lower power consumption leads to is the latest generation MBPrs can power a screen much higher resolution than the 2012 MBP, but still have the same performance profile (battery life, responsiveness).

To use your argument: The current generation MBPrs come with good enough specs for storage and RAM for 99% of users. No one needs to upgrade pass 16GB of RAM since it's good enough for most people or a 512GB SSD, especially when storage is being pushed to the cloud. You get a better display, better battery life, in a smaller form factor that weights less. For most people the trade off between that and the ability to open up your laptop to stick in new hardware is worthwhile.
HN has a fantastic no-procrastination mode(enabled in settings), it locks you out after 20 minutes of browsing, for the next 3 hours, it really helps. Since I don't feel like fb/twitter are adding anything to my life, I just blocked them in my router. I still end up there occassionally, but it's not an addiction. I still do spend too much time on reddit, but I'm trying avoid it as well. I'm getting better at it, but slowly. It's mostly a matter of my brain gradually comprehending that it's a pretty joyless activity that adds very little to my life.

I don't have a designated time for reading, I'm just trying to avoid the "bad" kinds of information, and since my brain keeps craving it, audiobooks end up being the best way to satisfy it.
Geography still matters a lot. Japan [1] trades mostly with Asia, and the UK [2] with nearby countries (it trades more with Sweden than Canada; more with the Netherlands than China).
