So the article that you linked focuses on cancer, and even the claim about testosterone links to another article on the site that also focuses on cancer and not on testosterone.

Turning to the article's sources, you find [1] source for the testosterone claim. And the summary at the beginning of that study states the following:

"Vegans had higher testosterone levels than vegetarians and meat-eaters, but this was offset by higher sex hormone binding globulin, and there were no differences between diet groups in free testosterone, androstanediol glucuronide or luteinizing hormone."

So higher overall testosterone, the same amount of free testosterone. I think this is a perfect example of selectively reporting on scientific studies. The author of that article may not technically be wrong, but it encourages spreading bad advice when you repeat that claim over and over again without the caveats mentioned in the actual studies.

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2374537/pdf/83-...

It's worth noting that it's even in the title of the study: "Hormones and diet: low insulin-like growth factor-I but normal bioavailable androgens in vegan men". There's no excuse for misrepresenting that.

The debate is where that threshold is. 5 engineers, no. 1000 engineers, yes. But most engineering orgs are in between. I suspect microservices start to make a lot of sense at around 50 individual contributors. At that point you've got 10 pizza sized teams and making decisions that affect all of those teams is taking more time than building out the infrastructure needed for them to work independently.

Hi there i just want to add that it is the present value of future payments that are put on the books as 'debt' (i.e. liability). Also, In situations where you truly do have a 'cheap' asset relative to the market, you are able to value that separately and many companies do. Search "below market leases 10K" for further information.

Lease accounting guidance is very complex and there are many nuances that cover concerns in this thread. The point of the guidance is to determine the fair value.
I treat programming as a language. You understand it by going in hard and not trying to understand. If you learn it by trying to dictionary lookup every word, it's really slow.

Instead, you try to understand the context of a sentence, and then the words back from there.

So what I do is I read the table of contents and intro. Intro usually covers what makes the book different and has instructions on how to use it.

You'll find a few pillars. Like if you're reading an algorithm book you'll see Big O notation mentioned a few times. Focus on those pillars. Spend more time on them.

Maybe from Big O, it will give binary search as an example. Then skim the chapter on binary search and return to Big O until you master it.

You'll transverse the more important parts of the book better this way. Many books are not strictly meant to be linear.

I also recommend transversing content in this way as fast as possible once, in one go. Set aside about an hour to skim the entire book.

You'll get the "skeleton" of the book, what holds it together.

Then you focus on the pillars of the book. And once you're done with that, you can do the rest of the content you skipped.

Once you read something, explain it to yourself differently to prove you've mastered the concept. This might involve doing an exercise on it. If you're familiar with it, just drawing a figure might be good enough.

Also I agree with what the others have said: compare with other books on the topic and make sure it's a good one before you read anything.
This is similar to how medical insurance or student loans drive up prices.

Divorcing consumers from the cost of these services causes them to be less price sensitive. Even if they ultimately end up paying higher premiums there is no direct feedback occuring at the time the exchange takes place. So consumers are less thrifty, and there is less pressure to drive down prices through competition.

The Chinese people seem pretty patriotic (some others would say indoctrinated), to the extent that breakdown of the great wall would hardly cause any disruption.

This probably has more to do with economic success then the effectiveness of the great firewall. The firewall itself probably persists because of bureaucratic inertia more than anything else.

Firstly, the public apology was required, she's clearly a maker and was wrongly accused of being a front person.

>my response reflected my unconscious biases; and the negative impact of my tweets was amplified by the fact that I, a white, Western, male CEO of a key company in the Maker community, publicly questioned a young, female, self-employed Chinese maker.

Fair point about unconscious bias. It's difficult as we are creatures of habit and purposely always look for patterns, mostly to our advantage but sometimes to our disadvantage. It's tough. I have seen countless times though that gender based unconscious bias is present in reality, more times than not against males - although rarely reported (schools, Universities and work places).

The next point about how being a CEO for a company in a large engineering community and then publicly discrediting another person is massively impacting on the person being attacked. In general it seems to be that the more powerful your voice, the more you should think about what you say. Even then, powerless individuals can quickly be amplified for the purpose of being attacked or held up as a leader of some opinion.

The next part grates. What has the combination of "white", "Western" and "male" got to do with the apology? Would the CEO's voice be any less effective if it was from an equally positioned black, African female? I would hope not. I think this could equally have been any other person of this power apologizing for doing little to no research. How did we get into the position where people are apologizing for features they are unable to control, somehow meaning they can or can't take part in some opinion/discussion? I bet the answer to that can't be made without discriminating.

And looking at the actions being taken in response, it doesn't make much sense:

>* With permission from Naomi, we will feature Naomi and her work on the cover of the next issue of Make: along with a full-length story about her work.

>* We will invite her and help her obtain a VISA to a USA Maker Faire in 2018, covering her travel and expenses.

>* We will be publishing a diversity audit of Make: as a company and our properties, and will be setting goals to drive progress on these issues.

>* We will be assembling advisory boards to work with our Maker Faire organizers to ensure our events are representative of our entire community. We will invite Naomi to be part of any advisory board for events in China.

Why is there now going to be a diversity audit of Make? What happened to question the diversity of Make and how does that prevent this public discrediting from occurring again? Surely a way more effective preventative measure would be to just turn off the CEO's Twitter account and stop any one person representative of Make from having unfiltered access to large audiences.

On the other hand, featuring her work is a good gesture to counteract the incorrect public statement made. The advisory board position is over the top and again, seems to suggest that there is something wrong with the Make community when it was the actions of the CEO.

None of the native Hawaiians whose claims to the land he attempted to nullify could afford to hire giant teams of lawyers to contest his abuse of the court system.

No, the link never claims that "[learning to read] was pre-mature". In the developmental literature, "play" is a collection of pedagogical approaches and is not synonymous with what we'd call play time at a typical child care.

You fundamentally misunderstand the article. The article isn't advocating not teaching reading. It's advocating a play-based pedagogy for teaching reading.

> Play is available at any daycare, at home, with grandparents etc.

While this is true, that's not the "play" that the article is referring to. Not all "play" has equal educational value; playing pong all day is different from constructing silly stories based on books with Grandma during reading time.

So while this is in principle true, the reality is that educational play is a lot less accessible than your characterization implies.

"An extended period of high quality, play-based pre-school education was of particular advantage to children from disadvantaged households" doesn't describe the typical daycare.

Again, the approach is not "no education". The approach is "play-based pre-school education"

> then kindergarten had no educational value.

Similarly, the article never claims that pre-school/Kindergarten has negative educational value. It claims that formal educational settings focused on instruction sometimes have negative educational value. (Which, BTW, can be found in the involved parent's home as easily as in the typical public classroom.)

The idea that this study implies we should just have kids play "kick the can" all day until first grade is a serious and dangerous mis-reading.

Kids should be learning to read during the Kindergarten age, and prior. This study does not refute that assertion. Rather, it makes a point about which pedagogical approaches are most effective at achieving that goal. Those approaches -- both good and bad -- could be implemented in a day care, but a grandparent, or in a Kindergarten classroom.

I’ve historically used a round medical lab style stool and sat on its edge to force my back straight per recommendation of a spinal specialist after I had a herniated disc in my teens and have had repeated problems. The problem for myself at least is that extended sitting weakens the muscles that help stabilize my back most, so anything to activate it even if it feels uncomfortable is probably better for my health. Combined with a variation on pomodoro technique to get up more frequently and stretch I haven’t had any recurring back problems or sciatica for years as I’ve gotten another 20 years older.

> I had tipped her. $20. She showed me her phone with the app on our order. DoorDash told her we had tipped her $6

This is why I almost always tip in Cash. I hand it to the person, in person.

San Francisco's Indian Restaurants (Indian here, and I go to the Indian restaurants here all the time, that's how I know) are notorious for not passing on any of the tips left on the card to the waitstaff, and some even don't give them the cash that's left in a counter tip jar.

I'd previously mentioned this situation on HN and someone told me that I could complain to some Labor organization that will investigate the Restaurant. Anyone have any experience doing this?

Funny how we were hearing these stories about Uber as well a few years ago, where people online were pretending some drivers became millionaire working for Uber. We now know none of this was true.

We did exactly this last time (prescription sunglasses and regular from Zenni). We went to Costco for the exam/prescription which was pretty hassle free. I'll set out the positives and negatives:

Positive: They nailed the prescription (perfect). The lenses were as thin as normal with the 1.67 "high-index polymer" upgrade (which is important as the prescription is bad in one eye, could result in super thick lenses). In all other respects they do what they say they do.

Negatives: We ran into an unexpected and ultimately fatal issue; even with perfect lenses and fine looking frames, my wife could not get them to sit straight or comfortably on her face. They'd slide down her nose and fall, both pairs. We bent them with pliers and a heat gun, followed the guide on Zenni's site, even had the gall to take them into an opticians (Standard Optical) and they tried adjusting them for us, no dice. This is on both pairs (sunglasses and regular). Even after our best attempts and taking them into a Standard Optical, we could not make it work.

We now have two pairs of Zenni sitting in a draw and had to spend another $180+ on just regular glasses from Costco (no sunglasses due to cost). These ones at least stay on her face. It is such an obnoxious and unusual issue to have, but two frames from two different lines of frames both didn't work for us and could not be fixed. It definitely shows the biggest problem with online glasses shopping in general, good prices, but if they don't fit your face then you're now out $170 (Plus whatever we spent at Costco after failing at Zenni).

This isn't meant to be a slam against Zenni in particular, they did what they said they'd do at a good price. This is a cautionary tale about online glasses shopping in general...
You see, HN's and Reddit's UI is what makes me wonder about everything. I can argue that both these site would score low on many of our criteria yet they strive, even in 2017.
