I know a few people who've done the "Whole 30" diet which includes cutting out added sugar, among many things (although some of which, like legumes, seem completely arbitrary).

One friend's severe eczema completely cleared up, others pretty much universally reported sleeping better and feeling more alert. Some just lost a lot of weight (as was their intention, although as with most diets probably mainly retained water weight).

We live in a rural area of the UK where farm shops are common so it's relatively easy around here, but I could see it being much more difficult for city dwellers.

I personally wouldn't do it myself and am not a fan of short term "fad" diets but the results are hard to deny.
There's also potential reality distortion in the other direction: how much of the early-apple lore has survived untainted by three decades of mythology, never mind the general haze of time (I know I'm telling a story from 2013 that's certainly not gotten more boring over time -- thing were crazy, but I'd not trust my self to be able to gave a 100% accurate account of exactly how crazy)? How much of it is an accurate recollection of what things were like day-to-day, and how much of it is a particularly crazy couple of week before the shareholder meeting that got amplified?

Food is not only calories. Quality of ingredients matter. Plenty of studies relate refined oils, flours, sugars to cancer, diabetes, heart problems. Cheap, easy to get != healthy.
It's cheap and unhealthy because ingredients are low quality.

Was processed food in supermarkets a hundred years ago? Humans don't need it. Of course food is safer than 100 years ago, but also processed food has pulled apart healthy and unprocessed food from our diets.

Nestle, Coca-Cola, Unilever, they are in universities, associations, etc... we see plenty of cases here in Spain. They do courses for professionals... and they are the brands with the best public perception. And we say advertising doesn't work?

Don’t forget to take transportation cost out of your $3000 per month.

I live across the street from the office and yes the rent is stupid, but my commute is a 5 minute walk.

And rent is still stupid in a 30min radius (for a total of 1h/day). You really have to go 1h+ radius to make a significant dent in rent around here (SF).
For the purposes of this thought experiment we're assuming that there's no price movement after year 1. In the real world this probability of failure in the future should be priced in to the year 2 price and doesn't affect the expected value anyway.

This is spot on. There are "highly scalable environments" which are flexible and generic, and then there are local focused tools, by their nature optimized in a way generic frameworks can never be.

Think ancient tools like grep versus Hadoop or Spark. Or our word2vec in Gensim vs word2vec in Spark or Tensorflow.

The occasional recalibration between "OMG-big-O-toward-infinity!-need-scale" versus "our-data-is-actually-finite-what's-a-good-operational-compromise" is a worthwhile exercise.
I think even in finance you'll be unlikely to touch 400USD (~300 GBP) for a similar level. Sure there are outliers, but of the senior people I know in this area total comp is around 200GBP after many years. It's much easier to just contract (if you don't mind the mercenary role), you'll make similar due to the tax savings.
Because it might dislocate the flap
I've worn glasses since I was 6. 3 times over the years, the glasses have prevented damage to my eyes from flying objects. They aren't true safety glasses (I have a separate pair for that) but I like the extra protection, as well as the protection from UV.

But at my age everyone needs glasses anyway, so there's little upside to lasik and even a small risk is too much for me to accept.

The glasses make for terrible eye-hand coordination, as they warp the trajectory of balls in unpredictable ways. I cannot hit nor catch baseballs worth spit. Fortunately, I couldn't care less about having an athletic career.
I was in Copenhagen earlier this year and I commented to my wife and our friends multiple times on how there were just no obese people anywhere. You Scandinavians are obviously doing something right.
FCC Chairman Still Receiving Threats
As an H1B visa holder, my number 1 concern when responding to startups is the uncertainty it creates in terms of future H1B extensions, green card application etc. Big cos have large lawyer squads to push me through the paperwork.

Besides that, can YC create some sort of insurance fund to pay employees at early stage startups at market rates? This fund would mostly be fueled by equity that the founders and investors were planning to give the employees. If a startup succeeds, the payout should be able to sustain a few more startups at roughly market pay. Of course, what this would mean is that the employees who opt in given up their chance to "make it big", but also reduce their risk while getting to work at something they are more passionate about and more rewarding compared to whatever they are doing at bigger companies.
The trick is to have multiple pairs, to the point where you find them at the same rate you lose them.

If you commute by train it’s not all necessarily wasted time. You can read, play games, listen to podcasts, etc.

I always read many more books when I commuted than when I didn’t commute. I find myself making new year’s resolutions to read more. But it was easy when I had the commute as a forcing function. (Not having internet on the subway probably helped...)

Your fertility rate math is off - it might be 3.25 grandchildren/grandparent, but each grandchild has 4 grandparents (barring edge-cases like incest or remarriage). If you account for property typically being owned by couples, it's only 2 grandcouples, but this is offset by your spouse having 2 grandcouples as well. As long as fertility rate < 2, wealth actually accumulates during inheritance.

Your comment about timing is right-on though: most couples are expected to have the house & kid before the grandparents die.
Yes, it seems ten gig is about where the fertilizer hits the circular cooling device. The new 2.5 and 5 gbe cards are much cheaper and DisplayPort 1.2 ICs with the 5.4 gbit HBR2 lane speed are widespread and of course there's USB 3.1 Gen 1 (formerly known as 3.0) with also 5 gbit/s. There is practically nothing working with the DP 1.3 defined HBR3 8.1 Gbit/s lane speed, though.

The only strange thing here is how five years ago we already had USB 3.0 and DP 1.2 devices in abundance but ten gig is still somewhat problematic.
I know exactly what you mean - my full name is globally unique, so far as I can tell, and everywhere I go it is always available for use as a handle. That does make it unusually easy to look me up, but that's been true for a long time, and I'm okay with it.
> So long, dinosaur coal plants. My lungs are looking forward to solar eating the rest of your lunch.

Absolutely. The coal industry, like any industry, will obviously attempt to hang on as long as it can. However the US is down to a point where there are only ~50,000 coal mining jobs left (vs 175,000 in 1985). Solar, wind and natural gas can easily replace those.

There's no way coal pulls out of this decline (EIA first quarter updated figures):

Thousands of acres with mcmansions in gated HOAs and no walkability sounds terrible.
More than performance, the primary concern these days is where the data lives and how it moves: Do we need to copy it to a different storage for processing? Change our company processes around how and where we store data? How many moving pieces to juggle?

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, since when designing new systems, management asks "How fast can we run this?", to which engineers reply "How much data is there and what speed are we aiming at?".

At this point, a failure to specify the desired volume and latencies leads to a sad cycle where scales are overblown ("just in case") and a complex solution chosen. Distributed solutions necessarily come with a massive overhead, so it is later discovered that even larger systems are needed…

Many such anecdotes circulate the industry, and I can add our own: In 2012 we implemented SVD, a math algorithm at the core of many machine learning techniques like PCA, LSI etc. This was a fast streamed "local" SVD implementation in Gensim (and now even faster in ScaleText). Suddenly, use-cases that needed a cluster of 12 beefy Hadoop (Mahout) machines could be performed on a single laptop, faster, and after a single `pip install`.

Our perf testing of word2vec (yet another streamed ML algo) showed a similar ROI pattern of local-vs-generic: https://rare-technologies.com/machine-learning-hardware-benc... (note the Spark graph at the end).
Exactly - even in summer, I recall reading that utilities have been begging for power consumption.
The thought-experiment that started this thread assumes that rent in SF would reach $750K/year if salaries were $1M/year. Hotel rates are unlikely to stay at $200/night if rent is $750K/year. If they rise proportionally, expect hotel rates of ~$4000/night at that price level.

which of those two books was better though? if I'm getting a voluminous tech book with a generic 'name of technology' title it's a pretty safe bet that a third of it is useless to me.
Maybe engineers are more replaceable than founders? That would explain why founders walk away with a lot more cash and credit. After all, there are a lot of good engineers who probably would do a good job as an early employee. And relatively few people who have the vision, motivation, and skill to create a successful company.

That said, I sometimes feel that being a successful founder has less to do with skill and more with being at the right place at the right time.

Would be interested to see what others think.
> Unfortunately diabetes is not <only> caused by sugar. If you are overweight you regular insulin uptake is lowered so your body needs to produce more. No matter what the cause is (hormonal, fat, sugar).

While true; until I see studies showing otherwise, I'll assume that becoming overweight is overwhelmingly caused by sugar though, with few exceptions. And if that assumption holds, the cause is sugar regardless.
I created a terminator script at work. It shutdowns my system if progress.txt is not updated in the next 3 minutes. If I am dreading any task, I launch this. All I have to do is make any progress and record it in the progress.txt file. It forces me to focus.

Shutting down the system is not a life threatening situation but it is annoying and a minor inconvenience. Especially since it takes a few minutes to restart the system and load all the applications.
For many people, it is normal to regularly eat packaged foods.

When I was growing up, practically everything I ate came out of a packet, and was usually cooked in a microwave.

My parents never made sauce from scratch or used their own herbs and spices. Any sauce came in a jar or a packet. Gravy was that disgusting mix of maltodextrin, MSG, and colouring that you simply add to hot water. Pasta sauce always came in a bottle, with the inevitable hit of sugar. If we had tacos, the seasoning came in a packet, which is mostly sugar with a little bit of cumin and chilli.

The meat would inevitably be cooked in a microwave so as to not require using oil to cook it. My mother practically had a phobia of fat and salt. The only meats I ate were chicken breast and ultra lean mince with the grease drained off.

It wasn't that my parents were unhealthy, I ate a lot of vegetables, and as I mentioned, I had a very low fat diet. I guess it was a lack of time and creativity that drove them to using packages for everything.

New version of crossbeam-channel released
I was one of the first employees at a fairly large dotcom 18 years ago and via a circuitous route through industry and academia I find myself back at a startup now.

One mistake I see early-stage startups make over and over again is low-balling key positions with the consequence that good engineers/designers are not retained but less-able engineers/designers are. As the company ages and the remaining OK-ish employees gain more power, a culture-of-mediocrity-death-spiral sets in which is hard if not impossible to escape from: products don't ship, sales suffer.

There are lots of good reasons NOT to work at a startup: Outside of startupland it is now easier to land a well paid gig at a big tech company than at any time in the last 15 years. In the public/state sector technology workers have experienced steep pay increases due to the intense pressure to digitalise. Consultancy and contracting remain lucrative, with established players constantly on the lookout for new hires, and individuals often able to multiply their pay by switching to contract employment.

I feel like the opportunities to influence and be promoted within a startup are in some ways overstated. In my own experience this has been just as easy in larger and more established organisations. Startups often lean pretty heavily on this argument and I am not sure if it is actually true for anybody outside of the founder's circle.

Startups often tie themselves up in knots trying to find out how to attract early employees, when really it just comes down to pay and conditions. Treat your early employees like functioning adults by offering decent pay, pension, holidays and benefits and great applicants will come flocking.
Wait what is the difference between word vectors and a pre-trained model? Aren't word vectors generated by a neural network trained to predict the next word, or to recognize noise (noise-contrastive training)? What is the difference in a "pre-trained model" as opposed to the training needed to generate word vectors?
Ten years earlier a book was published which was a work of sociology based on participant observation, an approach many here would regard as unscientific. It was very much an explanation of behaviour in the real world.

Erving Goffman's Asylums [0], in its four essays, identifies the creation of social roles and related rituals as the raw material of the social institution. In this case the institution was a real mental hospital.

My take on the kind of psychological experiment under discussion is that by studying an artificial social situation they have already failed. The petri dish of a very small mock prison on a campus just doesn't tell us anything very useful. Yet we can see eye catching results being amplified and then becoming part myth and part morality tale. However, the belief that human agency is contingent and flawed, that we often don't know how we know the things we know[1], or whey we do the things we do remains.

Some do, especially in bigger cities. Rural and suburban Sweden for example is getting obese at an alarming rate. But don't worry, the tax payers can foot that bill too I guess.
I appreciate English isn't your first language, but generally speaking this sort of sloppy writing is frowned on here. You've made a fair few comments now but are still on 1 karma.

I generally agree with your point above, but you could have said it much clearer.

Avoid the slang like 'dunno' + 'coz', commas have a space after them and split your posts into paragraphs for readability. Also work on properly capitalising, it's a mistake you're constantly making in your previous posts.
I guess it could. I was definitely sleeping better as a result of one of the things I was doing, or all of the things.

I was a little lost at the first paragraph (we do have a name for the strategy behind the "no one ever got fired for buying an IBM" pitch[1]).

The next point is just weird for someone who knows anything about academic funding: maybe he's right if you limit "academics" to tenured professors who don't care about funding or the future of their post-docs and grad students, but for the rest of us status is an important part of the grant process. It's not as simple as "we like her, let's fund her grant" but grants are reviewed by your peers, so "status" is how we get payed.

I'd go the opposite way: Stop the company right now. Focus on teaching English. Maybe create English-Teaching-Products. You have succeeded on something. You have to understand that this is not easy and does not always come to your "hands".

If you like programming, do it on the side. You can make a lot teaching stuff.

Are you in Tokyo? I don't know the city but I know that big cities make you lose your identity of "self". If you are in a small neighbourhood move to a big unidentified one where you can lose your "self-identity" awareness. It'll help remove the social pressure. You won't think about "people" or what you should do. It helps to focus on what really matters.

Don't seek a medical professional. There are three reasons for suicide: 1. you are mentally crazy (you are not obviously), 2. You are socially challenged and 3. long term injury pain (I don't think this applies?)

I think it is 2. So if it is, just move to a big city/compound or leave Tokyo. That should be your priority at the moment. From my experience, I'd advise strongly against seeking a "medical professional".
That's a very sensible concern but I think if you've worked in the field in the SFBA for a reasonable amount of time in the last 20 or more odd years, you've almost certainly heard variants of same stories and themes, sometimes from first hand participants.

Even when you allow for the indisputable fact that, say, Herzfeld or Cringley or Isaacson and others are fallible human beings with imperfect recollection and intrinsic biases, the lockstep consistency of the narratives and characterizations is striking.

MAC is different because you need one by device, so having to buy them in "bulk" is a lot more reasonable. USBIDs ought to be purchasable individually (or large enough that you wouldn't have to purchase them).

Can confirm. Giving up sugar has been one of the best decisions in my life. I did it gradually, but in the end I gave almost any added sugar whatsoever (no ketchup, no canned fish, no juices, no syrupy breads, etc.). Maybe it's not necessary to go that far, but I feel I don't need it nor crave it anymore. My depression has gone away, I've lost weight, and I don't have fogginess in my head anymore nor mood swings. It's an empty addiction, and my feeling is it's doing you very much harm! Let it go, folks.
