Making a choice that led to the entire management team leaving is tough, no doubt. Making any massively unpopular decision that leads to some of the smartest people working with you to actively flee your enterprise would be hard for anyone.

That being said, there is something to be said about how this comment was made. Because the hard part wasn't turning down the offer. It wasn't even dealing with the outcome of an unpopular choice per se -- hard to imagine these people thought "acquired by Yahoo" was the road to product success, even back then. It was dealing with the outcome of telling people they'd have to wait, possibly forever, to see their efforts rewarded (it took them 6 more years to IPO, with Zuckerberg famously devaluing the stock of early contributors along the way).

Noticing the lack of trust (possibly in both directions) _is_ a dark time, but it's hard to come to that conclusion when these things are referenced so obliquely ('people left' isn't a dark time, it's business).

Standing desks are not luxury anymore. You can get a decent new adjustable legs for around $250, and get a table top from ikea for $40. I don't really think that it is luxury for a developer. Even if you charge $20/hour, it's only two days of your work, which I think is a very little price to pay for an improved health.
i went and dug up my review from when i read it (the blanked out name is a friend of mine whose review i was replying to, and who hated the book). amusingly, my feeling that he was a good writer seems to be me remembering his style as better than it actually was; i tend to remember the good bits of stuff longer than the bad:

Reading part 1, I thought "Oh God, ____ is right, the man is an
idiot." I realised, though, that he simply wasn't all that good a
writer, which is not the same thing. I also got the impression that
he was indulging in stylistic experiments, which detracted from the
book. Anyway, one or two good ideas in there, and a nice discussion of
Hempel's Raven Paradox (even better than Gardner's, so score one for
him). But mostly part 1 was a matter of slogging through a lot of text
for little reward.

Part 2 got a bit more interesting, though here ____'s second claim of
"the good parts aren't original and the original parts aren't good"
was sadly borne out. Some decent material, but mostly stuff I'd read
in lots of other places, pulled together into (to be fair) a pretty
coherent narrative.

Part 3, surprisingly enough, got a lot more interesting. I'm not sure
what the difference was, but it did seem that he was genuinely
offering insights of his own, rather than regurgitating other
people's. He did also seem to have some genuinely valuable stuff to
say. At any rate, I found myself reading the rest of the book with a
lot more engagement and a lot less feeling of having to slog through
it.

On the whole, I think he does have a few genuine, and genuinely
insightful points to make, shadowed by his rather clunky writing style
and by the fact that he's rather full of himself. I think I will
reread the book a chapter at a time, to make sure I get his point.

Acknowledgement of being wrong or in doubt is a prerequisite of asking a question. Our current approach to education discourages being wrong - although it is difficult to imagine any other system with the amount of children that need to be educated today.

I can see it now, two co-workers complaining that the boss is being abusive, demanding unpaid overtime and ignoring boundaries for what should be a healthy work environment. The boss completely raped them.

Wouldn't it be nice if the company created an public attack site and force the boss and any family they might have into permanent hiding, even go as far as attack their home? Maybe do a campaign to have the boss and family cut off from any social environment, and make sure to teach any past friends that they can either chose to join the mob or be cut out too. Reminds me of certain type of religious groups that have concept of "shunning"...

The risk reward ratio just doesn't make sense. At best, you're getting public market returns, without the liquidity. At worst (most probably) your money is gone. Would you put money in that? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Refutes the headline? Only if you failed to RTFA. There are two critical points.

Point the first, and IMHO the most important, is the rest of the paragraph that makes the "60 to 75 minutes" statement: the people weren’t necessarily healthy, just alive.

In other words, the exercise was sufficient to reduce risks of mortality, but insufficient to actually improve health.

That's a damning condemnation of the effects of excessive sitting if ever I've read one: Sit too long and your health is pooched, even if you exercise enough to survive.

Point the second, the writer points out that exercise recommendations are a balance between what will bring the most benefit and what (most) people will actually do. Very few people will exercise 60 to 75 minutes a day...

...and I suspect that if they knew that that amount of exercise would have positive survival benefit but negligible health benefit they'd say to hell with it, and just keep sitting.

Hence explicit and implicit recommendations from the article: Exercise 150 minutes a week (more if you can), sit less (a lot less).

How would one regularize to account for such variability (in a way that doesn't discount and favor the performance of small and large countries respectively)?

Genuine question as I'm admittedly not very familiar with the mathematical/statistical aspects of this. I am however mildly satisfied with my home country's per-capita performance in this and prior summer olympics, and curious to learn if/why I maybe shouldn't be :)

Obesity is not the issue causing this. India has an almost billion person population with a 15% obesity rate with 0 medals while the US has a 33% obesity rate with 80 medals and a third of the population.

Funding and culture are the biggest issues. The only sport Indians care about and that you can financially support yourself professionally is in cricket. Unsurprisingly India is quite good at cricket and would def. have some medals if it was an Olympic sport.

The truth is that indian has millions of potential athletes who never pursue their passion because they are pressured by parents to focus on academics and other areas. There is no culture glorifying athletes. The few who do end up being athletes play cricket.

For each and every bit of startup advice, there is an equal and opposite bit of startup advice.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft hasn't forgotten that. It's subtle in the video, but the applications are more than in just one "virtual screen" spot and seem to remember where they were left (Outlook and Edge are in very different positions in her space, for instance). Same with the virtual knick knacks and doodads scattered in the space.

The promises from earlier Windows Holographic pitches is that it is very space-aware including making it easy for multiple machines and people to share a consistent space between them.

Certainly there's probably a lot more that the 2D applications could make use of 3D space, but the point of the demo (and Windows Holographic) is that existing 2D applications play nice in your 3D spaces.
I never said anything about obesity causing the issue with athletics. I was agreeing that the general Indian population doesn't seem to value fitness or health. Which from my limited experience, is absolutely true.
I currently use two different registrars, DNSimple and iwantmyname. I route everything through DNSimple regardless, I just love their DNS tooling and API (also DNSound! - https://dnsimple.com/dnsound). They're also right in San Fran and have crazy good support. Another big reason is I mostly do static sites and SPAs, so being able to utilize DNSimple's ALIAS and URL records is a big win for me. So, for basic TLDs I'll just register there.

For more exotic TLDs, iwantmyname covers largely every TLD you can think of. They're in New Zealand, and also have crazy good support. Their DNS stuff I couldn't speak to - I just route them through DNSimple anyway.

To be fair, neither of these are the cheapest options, but I never understood saving a couple bucks for an inferior (subjective) interface and tooling somewhere else.

Just my two cents.

"That's on them, and every time you feel oppressed by "political correctness" a dozen or more people are feeling like they can participate safely for the first time."

So you oppress hundreds and thousands for their personal beliefs in exchange for a dozen or more people to feel better? This isn't my idea of freedom.

It would never happen because it doesn't extend and enhance the left-leaning narratives that are destroying society with emotion, mob-rule, bullying, and lies and completely disregarding statistics and facts.

I also remember reading Facebook during this time: The amount of bigoted comments and bullying toward anyone religious was astounding..and nobody lost their job over it.

It's because it's not really about freedom, it's about taking power and control and oppressing another group of people.

So it makes me wonder if any commonly used repositories (or PPA's) have fake duplicate keys with the same key-id.

He's not saying if there are too many, he's saying if it happens too fast. If all of our cars became self-driving tomorrow, and the American Trucker Association's estimates are correct [1], then 3 million truck drivers will suddenly be out of of jobs.

We live in the real world so change doesn't happen overnight, but if truck driving becomes out-moded significantly faster than a truck driver could learn a new skill, then the displaced population will riot because they worked hard and did nothing wrong their whole lives and machines replaced them anyway.

And this is true for nearly all blue-collar and some white-collar workers, whose jobs would be threatened by advancements and automation made in their sector

At some level there's also the definition of "working out".

I am on a lifting program where strength is the goal, not bulking out. We add 5 lbs every workout session (15 lbs per week) to every exercise. In a couple of cases this has come down to 2.5 lbs per day as it has gotten harder to maintain the prior pace.

The point is that this is very different from someone who gets on the treadmill every day to run for one hour. That's more of a steady state routine where balancing nutrition is far easier.

In my case I need to eat more. A lot more. No other way to maintain the pace of strength gains.

What I am after is an approach to nutritional optimization that allows me to feed my system as much as it needs to be able to do the work during workout days yet not over feed it during the 46 hour rest period.

In other words, feed for the 2 hour workout as well as whatever is necessary for recovery + muscle growth but don't over-feed because you could go backwards during those 46 hours.
mmm, I think we should get rid of the variance and filter out populations under a million.

I agree with you. And yes, in my travels I have met, for instance, racist cops who are quite nice to me. (I am white.)

Still. I see that the people who are the most afraid, the most angry, the most surprised that I would trust strangers not to kill me, are the people that watch the most news. They simply do not trust strangers, at all.

The answer, I think, is somewhere in the middle.
I can relate to Mark having to disconnect from emotion or feeling in business. It's a very personal thing for me that I don't really want to get into, but it has to do with being consciously aware of free choices.
