Given that it is a clinical trial with random assignment, and assuming that compliance was not a major issue, I think we can assume this is not about pre-existing tendencies toward self-help leadership styles. However, I suppose there could be something to what you are saying, as in 'look the part, be the part.'
If I were to speculate I'd suppose that exposure to the hot and cold elements expands the sensory experience, and expanded sensory experiences often stimulate the brain and its capacity to adapt.
It depends on the law. There's a big difference between a specific niche business not complying with some ambiguous, contradictory tax laws and Uber which bases their entire business model around cost savings from skirting a handful of labor laws that basically every business must be conscious of and skirting local regulations on taxi services but entrenching itself too deeply before enforcement can kick them out.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick goes over cold therapy (along with hot therapy) numerous times in her nutrition/health/biology/epidemiological research.

cryo usually is -180 degrees F for 2 minutes. But a similar effect can be achieved with ~40 F (IIRC) exposure for ~4-6 hours. I think she has mentioned similar effects for immersion in cold water for several minutes as well.

The benefits of cold shock are basically:

* increase norepinephrine up to 5 fold which provides a ton of focus/attention.
* induces biogenesis of mitochondria, thus increases endurance.
* that biogensis turns white fat brown as fat cells grow mitochondria to generate heat to stay warm

Looks like she has a report on it here: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/?sendme=cold-stress

You can also listen to it in bits and pieces in various videos she has posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-J8w2ay94

Ask HN: Experience with profit sharing?
We have considering profit sharing VS ESOP for employees as:

- Profit sharing is tangible
- We monetise from the start and can roll down KPIs
- Many of our employees would struggle to understand an ESOP scheme
- Those that understand equity undervalue it
- Those that understand options discount them completely :P

Wondering have anyone here has implemented or taken part in one:

- Did it have any impact with regards to fund raising?
- Did it have any impact on exiting?
- Did it make it harder to attract new employees at any stage?
- Any best practices we should take into account?

We are weighting it on join-date / risk taken not seniority. We still maintain a small ESOP scheme for advisors.
Tactical vs strategical.

At implementation level, software throughput is higher when you are younger. Validating/killing ideas, making money at large scale do not require experience, not that much.

At strategical level things change.

I'm not directly experienced with this (most of my work is internal) so I don't know exactly how it works, or if they use Skype explicitly, but my company makes quite a few calls with other organizations.

> In a realistic 1980s nuclear war, a lot of nukes would be targeted at military bases and the like

i think it's mentioned in Command and Control (book) but if I recall correctly the plan from the US perspective was not only to nuke military targets, but also all major population centers, with several thermonuclear bombs for each target, for good measure. And that was not only the USSR, but basically every ally of the USSR as well.

You can imagine that the other side was also going to do about the same thing.

Sure, some countries may have been relatively spared, but all in all the whole of Europe, US, Russia, China, would have been annihilated.
A few things things:

* any non Javascript / ruby / go languages don't have standard packages, package names, etc.

* any non Javascript / ruby / go languages may be using one of many build systems. It's just too hard to troll through random build systems to see what dependencies are used

* therefore, a simple text file is what will work, and is what will be trivial for everyone to use

* if you find it too hard to update one line in a text file when you add (for example) a new dependency on libldap... you shouldn't be programming
Okay, I really don’t want the data. I don’t want the data because:

(1) if I see something, I have to act on it, despite not actually having the knowledge of whether it means anything in this information-rich context. I just love things that -look- like information but that don’t actually tell me anything.

(2) we have a LOT of data suggesting that we do more harm than good when we try to intervene or investigate everything. For Pete’s sake, hospice patients outlive those who are actually pursuing life extension! Turns out every treatment has harms, and when you’re applying those harms to no benefit (because the patient is asymptomatic, or the anomalous event was never destined to progress to clinical disease), you just accrue harm that -looks- like care.

3) It is not likely to result in useful diagnosis, because catching shit pre-clinically offers little indication of what will or won’t become clinical. We see this in helical CT: a lot of people became “cancer patients” when helical CT came out, before we realized a LOT of growths recede forever without intervention - we just hadn’t seen them before, on the less sensitive tech.

If I see the data I have to act on it to cover my (American) ass, and I know I will do net harm to my patients. Thanks but no thanks. Do your due diligence: collect the data, analyze it, stick it in a properly randomized prospective study to see if you just trawled your way into an overfitted model, and prove that the intervention for it does more good than harm. THEN I’ll be delighted to use that specific data to pursue that specific intervention. Don’t just measure everything, throw it at my wall like hot spaghetti, and expect me to turn it into dinner.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bike share bike actually being ridden. I have seen rows of bike share bikes sitting parked taking up useful space that could have been allocated more usefully as public parking for people riding bikes they own.

I assume there must be some aspect to this business I’m not understanding if they are able to talk cities into giving them valuable street space and investors into backing them to the tune of $50M+. I’m not seeing what value they add by centralizing ownership of what is already a very inexpensive and democratic mode of transportation. What is the play here?
Currently we use Slack for company meetings and one-on-ones. It works very well, but it's a bit flaky at times.

Our other solution, which we still use with customers and other external parties, is GoToMeeting (Citrix). It's about $180/year, I think. The app, despite being native, looks like something from 1995, and there's very little mobile app functionality to speak of, and also screen sharing is broadcast only, and it has some minor idiosyncrasies (for example, new people who join are muted initially, and the app's UI makes it ridiculously difficult to figure out how to unmute (hint: it's not the microphone icon next to your name)), but it does have several advantages:

* Audio and video is just rock solid. Unlike Google Hangouts, Slack and other web-based solutions, GoToMeeting just works. I can count the number of times we've had people struggle with audio/video on one hand. I don't know what the others are doing wrong (WebRTC?).

* You can dial in with a normal phone. This is useful when you have people who don't have/want the app, or if your Internet connection is slow or flaky.

* You can join a call very quickly even if you don't have the app. The invitation contains a link to an app download that, when opened, immediately joins the right call.

* You can record calls (including screen sharing).

A social network for kids has such high risk and such a low reward. For one, children need to be interacting in person and having real friendships in the real world.

By the time it makes sense for kids to be using social networks at all they may as well be using the real thing. Once it makes sense for them to use social networks they definitely aren't going to use the one Mom or Dad can peer into (and everyone else's mom or dad in the group).

If you are worried about the implications of social networks for your child then don't let them use them at all, because it is next to impossible to create a safe space online. Being safe online is more of a learned skill, than an environment you can create, and by the time you should be let to wander the web at all you should probably be old enough to be taught those skills anyway.

The applicability of that rule is a symptom of healthcare's overreliance on human judgement. To a rational decision-maker, more data is better. When the problem calls for an expert system, it's a problem well within the domain where algorithms outperform humans.

Then they should change their core mission statement and stop pretending they actually care about privacy. That would be only fair. Google should be listed as conflict of interest for Mozilla.
I think I have a slightly different perspective, from various business dealings I have.

Firstly, I am elbow deep in the recruitment sector, and GDPR is a Major Fucking Deal for everyone. Software companies in the recruitment space are spending a huge amount of time and treasure making sure they are on top of the game for GDPR. Recruitment consultancies are too. The industry is taking it super seriously. Recruitment is (amazingly, and contrary to what people tend to believe) generally pretty good about this sort of stuff (with almost all shady shit coming from individual recruiters with too little oversight), so maybe the industry is over-reacting, but I don't think so.

Secondly, I am pretty aware of a lot of shady internet marketing and retargetting type shit. I don't know how that industry is reacting because I'm not close enough, but I'm pretty sure they should be in a panic if they're not.

The law as I understand it will make it difficult for companies to use catch-all privacy policies without being specific, and companies will have to make an explicit case for -- for example -- reselling your data to advertising companies if that's not explicitly what you signed up for.

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bike share bike actually being ridden."

One person's noticing or not noticing bikes being ridden is a poor way to judge the effectiveness of a city-wide program.

I know I've seen plenty of bike-share racks mostly empty of bikes. I could assume from that that these bikes are currently being used. But that's a poor way of judging too, because I don't know if they were ever full, or how many bikes were stolen or lost, etc.

The real way to judge is from data collected by the agency in charge of the bike share program itself (assuming they keep such data and that the data can be trusted), or to have some independent third party keep track of all the bikes and their use.
Not kidding. If my database is Postgres, I develop for it in Visual Studio Code and deploy it to Azure, why shouldn't I be able to explore it with another Microsoft product.

I grew up with the Microsoft you describe, but they've been gone for several years now. Not to say they can do no wrong, or that we shouldn't be wary, but to think it ridiculous that they could support multiple databases is not compatible with their actions lately.

They invented a whole language to paper over the fact that their entire field is weaponized psychology employed against their customers. Do a noun for noun substitution to unpack a marketing meeting, and you'll want to puke.

Frankly, it's shameful for any company that says they care about their customers to employ marketing psychology tactics. Marketing and advertising are (in their modern, virulent form) simply an attempt to hack viewers to shift the locus of control from the customer to the business. (Other objectionable things about tech have this kind of behavior, too.)

Frankly, it's just disgusting and I can't blame customers for really viewing companies negatively based on their advertising practices.

(If all that wasn't bad enough, online advertising often comes with literal malware ontop.)
On the topic of "Social Network for Children":

I worked for a while on something like this, although it was more of "Linkedin for Children". It's stempremier.com. Our big idea was that there are tons of kids being recruited (sometimes for somewhat early ages) for college and professional sports. However, there aren't a huge number of kids being recruited who aren't talented athletes. An example is a kid who doesn't necessarily have stellar grades, but loves the outdoor and possibly has an interest in electronics. These students are very sought after by telecom companies as linemen, but it is exceptionally difficult to make the connection.

One of the big obstacles we ran into was how to monetize. While I was there, our approach was to have schools pay for per user licenses for students. It was a hard sell.

I think there is potential if an app like this aims to help kids pursue a quality education and find what they are passionate about. I however, am skeptical about a kind of facebook just for kids that would likely seek to exploit the kids to sell their data to advertisers and would be at best a detractor from a child's education.

At the Redwood city location there were many artists and small businesses that depended on the facilities. It will be a big blow to them.

I think they got reckless with their expansion. The San Jose location moved to a new location after their lease expired. They chose to relocate to a prime location in downtown San Jose and ended up with a million dollar shortfall to renovate and open the new location. They somehow managed to scrounge the money through an appeal to the community and opened but it must have ruined their financials.

At the same time they were opening in other cities. If their financials in the Bay area were shaky (as they admit in their closing statement on their website) then it is not clear why they were taking on more risk by expanding.

SML 2.0 is the best candidate IMO.

Rust isn't a competitor as it's too close to metal and too verbose (great for those kinds of things, but not for everything).

Elm has nice libraries (though not even all the the standardized web APIs are supported yet). It also gets rid of Haskell's lazy evaluation, so reasoning is easier. It doesn't have type classes though (and misses many advanced features). The side effect question isn't great either IMO (I believe side effects are necessary for real-world code).

SML would benefit from a little more syntax (borrow a couple good ideas from Ocaml), but is very simple to learn and despite the simplicity, has an amazingly powerful type system. While it could gain some benefit from type classes, at least it isn't lazy, allows side effects, and is immutable by default (but allows mutation if you need).

It doesn't have classes like Ocaml or F#, but I don't consider that to be a loss. It has sane operator rules (and overloading which is important for native-feeling APIs). SML is very fast (thank you mlton) and unlike Ocaml, doesn't have to lose all its performance when you need 32 or 64-bit integers for something. Unlike Ocaml, there are actually working multi-threading implementations like poly-ml (mlton has an experimental one like Ocaml). It's worth noting that because there is a standard, you don't have one implementation/company that defines the spec.

The big flaws of SML are adoption, libraries, and the need for some extra syntax (there is work on this that is ongoing). In the grand scheme of things, it's in a very good position for a language that isn't that popular.

Then you would use it on-premise, which seems like a better idea than borrowing it to use at home (for those projects that are portable anyway).
