Took some major effort to get down to one, i suffered the horrid headaches as you mentioned. It took a while to figure out what was causing it, it was me not having any coffee.

You can meditate, you can chug red bull or coffee, you can use pomodoro's or live your life in a GTD system, but nothing will compare to the productivity increase of getting a good nights sleep.
I wonder why it is, that some people can take a nap and feel refreshed. If I do it, I wake up WAY more tired than before going to sleep and will be groggy for a while.

I am guessing it must have something to do with how fast you can fall asleep and enter deep sleep.

This specific phishing website mimics an ingame website for Counter-Strike Global Offensive, a shooter game with the vast majority of players using Windows. Linux isn't supported at all and while the game technically runs on a Mac most people don't (or play it with Bootcamp).

I would not be surprised if 99% of the audience for this website is using Windows, the vast majority with default themes (and the ones without either won't notice this or think Windows is buggy when a popup shows the default theme).
Anecdotally, the people I know who socialize (IRL) the most also spend the most, often into debt. Friends pull you into expensive activities, provoke a need of one-upmanship, etc. Whereas the people who give up "the race" are often loners.

(This is not an argument against having friends, mind you!)

Of course, it could be argued that social networks are a way to re-engineer "friendships" so that they provoke the spending part (looking good on the feed, winning in stupid games, etc) without giving the satisfaction that one might get from just spending time with them.

"Facts don't change people's mind" forget about the presentation of the facts, usually in a condescending and over authoritarian way.

> If you had to depend on a teacher to expose you to the books you should read, what about the rest of your career?

It's a kick start. You depend on the school to teach you other basic skills too: letters, numbers. You learn a lot of words from classes, but it doesn't mean you'll stop learning words once you're done with elementary school. You can go on your own after that.

My personal experience with school and university is exposure to a lot of different things. I wasn't forced to learn everything -- I spent more time on things I liked and less time on things I just wanted to get a good grade on.

The system is far from perfect and is flawed in many ways, especially where I live. But I don't think that the idea of formal education itself should suffer because of some flaws; I's rather improve it over ditching it.

Well, now there's a classic example of survivorship bias. Care in the US is good when you can get it, but on average? On average care is quite bad. When you bring in the millions of people with no health insurance into the averages then the picture looks quite a lot less rosy. Things are so bad that there is a multi-decade differential in life expectancy between the top 20% and the bottom 20%. That is absolutely unconscionable.

The dark truth behind Advertising on the internet
A good solution is to force popup windows to open as a tab in the current window, so that the address bar is absolutely always in the same place. This distorts the popup window because it can't change size but that's a small price to pay. I find it annoying that any website should open a new window anyway. I'm not sure if this is possible in Chrome, or if so how to do it, but in Firefox the setting is browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction.

It would also help if Windows had proper contrast between the title bars of active and inactive windows, since then it would be obvious there's a problem from the two simultaneously active top-level windows. The contrast was excellent from at least Windows 3.1 through to Windows XP (colour vs greyscale) but in Windows 7 it dropped dramatically, and it's almost indistinguishable in Windows 10. Microsoft seems to have an endemic problem of redesigning visual styles for the sake of it, even if it makes things worse, presumably to justify the wages of full-time designer staff.

I did not study 100% of our competitors, but the most known like Toggl, Harvest or Hubstaff did not get investments. Perhaps only some small amount on seed round.

I continue to believe that VC money needed for explosive growth. We believe that it is a little too early for us. We are still continuing to pay a lot of attention to the product, communication with our customers, finding our product/market fit and not marketing. Our current revenue is enough for this.

And no, we are not nervous about our competitors :)

I'm in the same boat. 3 years on and it's still extremely rare for my son not to wake up multiple times through the night and have to spend at least 20 mins (up to an hour or sometimes even up to 2 hours) getting him back to sleep. We've just had our second child and our daughter at 2.5 months old is also not a great sleeper during the night, but she will sleep through anything during the day. Combine that with both the kids staggering their sleep/wake schedules (as if they're colluding!) and I'm lucky to get a 3 hour stretch of sleep. Since I've been back at work after paternity leave I've regularly caught myself falling asleep at my desk at work and need to go and take a nap in my car at lunch time just so I can function.

I can wake up refreshed or more tired depending on how long I napped for. If I decide to take a 45min nap, I usually can't get myself to wake up before 90mins, and if I have to, I'm super tired like you said. A refreshing short nap that works, is 20 min max, I usually set the timer at 18mins.

A couple things to know:

The brain cycles through the various stages of sleep, on average 90 minutes long (it varies from person to person, could be closer to 75 or 105 minutes).

If you wake up in the middle of the cycle, when you're in DEEP sleep, you'll feel very tired and be tired for a long time after.

I find with a long nap past 30 minutes, it's just more common for people to end up waking up in the middle of their sleep cycle. NASA did a sleep study that found out that 24-25 minutes of actual sleep was the sweet spot for taking a nap.

So basically you could set an alarm for your estimated time to fall asleep + 25 minutes.

Or you could do a "coffee nap", you drink a cup of coffee and then immediately go to sleep. It takes about 30 minutes for the caffeine to hit your bloodstream. That way you'll wake up naturally.

The discovery made by the two Medicine Laureates takes advantage of the immune system’s ability to attack cancer cells by releasing the brakes on immune cells.

James P. Allison studied a protein that functions as a brake on the immune system. He realised the potential of releasing the brake and unleashing our immune cells to attack tumours. He developed this concept into a new approach for treating patients.

Tasuku Honjo discovered a protein on immune cells and revealed that it also operates as a brake, but with a different mechanism of action. Therapies based on his discovery proved to be strikingly effective in the fight against cancer.

>Making the games you want to play is actually not great advice.

I don't think it's bad advice, though. If you treat genre and its elements as only means to an end, you wind up with exactly the trends that oversaturate the indie market now, because everyone is trying to "find a niche and hit it hard." Games are entertainment.

I think you should at least learn to want to play the game you're making. At the very least, you should know why the customer would want to play it. Ticking off boxes hoping to find combinatorial success isn't enough... that "battle royale farming simulator" still needs to be entertaining, or at least capture interest.
Her mySpace tunes were self published, however, getting XL Recordings on board has parallels with startup culture. It is like the importance of having a co-founder, proof that you have convinced someone to back you, then with that, you can scale things up.

XL Recordings came from the rave scene, the Prodigy were their first big earning group, however, for every Prodigy there were scores of 'Dome Patrol' grade releases that nobody except for DJs ever heard of. XL moved on when the rave scene died to other acts in different genres. They 'pivoted' to use the parlance.

I know Adele worked with a label however it was a genuine thing her getting spotted on mySpace and not some fake back story, as per the Lily Allen example. I don't believe music executives really would listen if I posted my singing efforts to the internets, or if anyone here did likewise. Yet that did happen with Adele.
