I definitely remember losing 15 pounds in my freshman year of college because I preferred sitting in my dorm playing video games to going out for a bite. Actually quite a positive experience, as I'd been overweight previously.

We collaborated with them to build a demo for visualizing Google Cloud infrastructure thru their system: it was super impressive and fun, made me think of building a whole AR vNOC. Wild times!
These results are neither hermetic nor repeatable since the ranking will be polluted by searches and clicks coming from your browser in the past, you account on other browsers, other people using your IP, other people in your region, etc. There is no pure function mapping a search term to a result list, and the desire for such a thing is too silly to take seriously.
I accepted an offer today, it's a bit lower than I hoped for, but it will still help me with some financial hardships
I work in Utah and know many smart and skilled people who have worked at Overstock. They all have Patrick Byrne and Stormy Simon stories; some of the most unbelievable things I have ever heard.

The entire place sounds like it was straight out of a Dilbert cartoon (read through some of the glassdoor reviews, especially the older ones).
Tesla has installed solar panels at more than 240 stores, oeps.
As a remote CTO in a smallish company, because of timezones.. it's relatively easy to get alone time.

(I'm in Europe.)

In the morning (their afternoon): ~3 hours of communication/cooperation with coworkers in Taiwan.

Then lunch/break.

Then ~3 hours of focused work, without any interruptions!

Then a break.

Then 1-2h working with the CEO etc in the US. Or more alone work if there's nothing big to work on together.
I'm starting to run into the emails themselves just being too darn large (over 1mb). There's no gzip with email.
I think the point of the parent is that any story you read is editorialized to some degree, even if all it's doing is listing facts.

Every time you read a report on a topic, mountains of facts are omitted for the sake of disseminating the points the authors and editors thought you should know to build your opinion. It is thus vital that you trust their judgment to do so in a way that's beneficial to you.

Knowing things is just really hard and we tend to fool ourselves into believing we know more than we do and that we can know more than is reasonable (yours truly included).
Good. But governments need to move on to addressing the far greater billions in potential taxes that big corporations legally avoid through complicated tax loopholes.

Granted, this is going to require significant changes politically in many countries, but among the general public across the spectrum, the hope that the wealth held by large corporations will trickle down to them through market mechanisms has long since worn quite thin.
Yes, and since this is a product specifically marketed to people who live in the area of the world where 100% of parking spaces is shaded it's obviously a bad idea.

What if they instead sold it to people who usually park in non-shaded parking spaces? Would that work, do you think?
The "experiments" are bogus, consult an actual doctor.
Exactly, just truncate the iteration to the first k elements. Need a hash table to get the modified values, so it breaks the "O(1) extra space" condition, but that condition is bullshit anyway, you're already using O(k) space to store the numbers you find, an extra hash table is also O(k) space. http://ideone.com/5uwqNO
Important alerts should be automated from some software, not from the coworker that thinks every shower-thought is good #random material.
I never understood this point of view. It’s like people who didn’t believe in washing hands until bacteria were discovered.

Yes sure calories in calories out. But metabolism has so many variables. It can be revved up and burn a lot of calories. It can become quiescent when you are in starvation mode. What causes it to start using the fat reserves is definitely more than a univariate analysis. If there is a catalyst that starts breaking down fats faster it won’t matter that you are eating more.

Some people are naturally skinny and others put on weight quickly. This is already well known and shows that there are complex genetic inputs as well as other ones. We have to discover what those are. So saying it’s just calories in/out, stupid... nope!
I also favor issue tracking integrated with the source code and experimented with most of these systems. The first roadblock I noticed to using distributed issue trackers was that the client programs need to be extremely convenient to install on the personal OS and mobile device of everyone involved in the project, something which is very difficult to deliver. A web interface with editing capability could cover some cases, but then you're obliged to host it on a server somewhere.
No, as username90 says, e was not created to perform rotations. The aspect of e that comes into play for the relation to sine and cosine is that the function e^x satisfies the differential equation df/dx = f. This makes the Taylor series convenient by not introducing factors of (ln K)^n in each term.

Thus, 2^ix = cis (x ln 2) = cos (x ln 2) + i sin (x ln 2). And since e is, by definition, the number that satisfies ln e = 1, e^ix can be stated more simply as cis x. And that identity, ln e = 1, is in fact the original motivating definition of e.
The same goes for GitHub and GitLab, so this isn't surprising. A real strange thing, is that one also needs a Google account to view the Android issue tracker, for instance.
Apple's value is it's advertising and brand. It's products are objectively not higher quality. People just say that because they have been told that by other people.

High quality products last a long time. Apple's products are engineered to not last a long time. There's absolutely no reason I should be forced to buy a new macbook pro to run xcode. Either xcode is a low quality product, the macbook is a low quality product -- or both, which is the case. There are vastly superior products to both the macbook pro and xcode.
Journalism costs money and I am willing to, and do pay for it.
Ivestigative journalism costs even more.
Yet it is critical for the existence of a democracy.

"First, if you want reliable information – pay good money for it. If you get your news for free, you might well be the product. Suppose a shady billionaire offered you the following deal: ‘I will pay you $30 a month, and in exchange, you will allow me to brainwash you for an hour every day, installing in your mind whichever political and commercial biases I want.’ Would you take the deal? Few sane people would. So the shady billionaire offers a slightly different deal: ‘You will allow me to brainwash you for one hour every day, and in exchange, I will not charge you anything for this service.’ Now the deal suddenly sounds tempting to hundreds of millions of people. Don’t follow their example."

21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari

In my opinion, the business press WSJ, and Finacial Times (both expensive) are among the best places for news. Both try hard to be accurate. A lot of rich people read them and make decisions because of information. If it is not accurate that is a real problem. (I am here excluding the editorial pages of the WSJ which exists on an entirely different planet).

It also has the added benefit for me of much less nonsense.
Sports, celebrity gossip, and all the fluff that takes up way to much space in many news publications.
I assume this is just a Tweet with the title as content, but all I see on my phone is a Twitter logo. I guess their JavaScript fest doesn’t always work.

Ask HN: What's the best way to learn accounting for founders?
For those who never took an accounting course or worked in accounting, how did you learn, at least to the point you got comfortable with running a business?
>If China did not enable it, probably some other nation would.

I’ll point the finger at any country who lets their national environment(which is really a global resource, we all share the same air and oceans) get trashed in the name of industrialization to serve consumerism.
Western countries have a system that controls those externalities at least to some extent, in the US we have the EPA, OSHA, and our various institutions of permitting make sure of that, at a very real cost to businesses and consumers. By not caring about the environment developing countries absolutely are burdening the species long term. The lack of a level playing field in this regard enables consumerism because you are allowing consumers to not pay for externalities, else we should really be placing tariffs on any country who doesn’t meet at least EPA regulations and probably all of our regulations and laws—building, safety, worker compensation—but that would likely shock the global economic system. This is what “developing” countries disrupt, and why I think that ultimately globalization and environmentalism(which I prioritize personally right now) are incompatible. This is a problematic conclusion because war is probably worse for the environment and globalism is the only thing that’s made this era so relatively peaceful.

I don’t think you can blame both sides, because on one side you have a relatively organized group of people with power who rule a country, and on the other you have a mass of people with 0 organization and no structural power whatsoever. Blaming the /populace/ of any country for a problem is a very slippery slope indeed.
Hi! Thanks for the shout out!
A lot can fit those symptoms, and dogs with some other infection may be affected worse by parvovirus.

The Norwegians probably know more about the details. There are vaccines against Parvo, so it's hard to tell if denial of vaccinations is so bad in Norway, that there is an outbreak with hundreds of dogs...
This included water weight. My body's water weight during that time, if my scale is to be trusted, was between 52.0-53.0% during that week of interviews. It is consistent with levels before my interviews.

I was wearing a HRM tracker for two of the interviews, but I didn't turn it on any activities to track frequent metrics. Heart rate was elevated for the entire interview, like I was briskly walking. In my hardest Google interview, my heart rate was at its peak.
Elsethread another poster was downvoted for saying it[0], but amphetamines make it much easier to get so focused on a task you forget to eat. I experimented with it for a while and even I, a food addict, forgot to eat if I was truly engaged in something.

Indeed; and if you're not rejecting these scientists, she won't change your mind either. So, why should anyone listen to her?
I agree, everyone loves giphy, and talking to bots... or using custom Slack / Discord commands, but those are opt-in and predictable. Anything beyond that would be dangerous.
> and why 3D continually fails

I must be mis-understanding what you mean by 3D continually fails. 3D titles are the majoriy of the 140billion game business. Titles like Fortnite, Minecraft, League of Legends, Call of Duty, to name a few billion dollar titles are all 3D. I don't know if there is a single billion dollar 2D title. Maybe the top 3 mobile games?
Why would you want to contribute to Google open-source, if merely making a Google account gives you an allergic reaction?
Google is within its rights to require it, and I'm not going to slam them for it, personally.

That said, it does exclude me (and, I assume, some others) from contributing as I'm unwilling to create a Google account. I'm sure that Google knows this as well, and has decided that it's not something they care about.
College football is not a quality product. The kids are young, the vast majority aren’t going to even sniff a pro career, there are hundreds of teams to dilute all the talent and most of the games are blowouts. The entire business model is the personal connection with your school. There’s literally no other reason to watch.
Had to wait forever to get a time slot. They do 10-15 minute demos in a temporary room they put up on the expo floor.
Agreed. I still think it is valuable information based on the discussions it can drive.

I appreciate your willingness to participate in these threads, be transparent, and show how hands-on you are with your school/students. However, I’m going to put you on the spotlight for a bit if that is ok.

Right now, Lambda School is young enough that the amount of collected outlier feedback can be easily remembered. Doubly so since you can still interact with this outlier population at the scale you operate at. However...

1. Instead of the bottom 0.1%, what about the bottom 1% or 10%? Will you be able to remember/account for all of these students as you grow in scale over a long period of time? What’s your strategy for this?

2. There will come a point where one person cannot handle all of the outliers. There will also come a point where your priorities are pushed elsewhere. Do you feel that it’s more important for you to be central in handling these issues or will this responsibility be handed off? How will quality be ensured?

I agree that you should not extrapolate from such a small sample size. However, I believe that to take ownership after a spotlight has been shone upon the worst instances would be to not discredit the feedback. Instead, offer up the insights on what actual patterns emerged from larger population findings, own any that correlated, and show how these were/are planned to be addressed.

Individual teachers have to deal with this all the time. Sometimes with additional metrics evaluating their every move. It would be nice to see someone at a higher institutional level be an example of how negative outliers are handled, not only from the bottom up, but from the top down.

Lastly, while Lambda School might be an exception, that doesn’t mean all bootcamps operate the same.
"Even if drugs were legalized, this would still happen" - that's what I was after. Thanks.
Is it really a "conservative opinion"? I've heard positive stories about the trades from people across the political spectrum.

And of course, the trades aren't a panacea. Demand ebbs and flows and sometimes work can be hard to come by. But I see nothing wrong with suggesting it as an option to a college degree (and the debt that goes along with it). Even if the salary isn't that high, it still beats being unemployed with $20K in student debt.
Nice work! I've actually been working on writing something like this for a while now.

One form of discomfort that sharpens me is the sensation of sleep deprivation kept at bay by caffeine. It has a dissociative effect that I find helps me concentrate. Reaching that state probably takes a toll on my body though.

Perhaps the effects of discomfort on concentration are malleable, not inherit traits of the individual. Maybe, with the right kind of expectations and mindset, I could make the sensation of hunger work for me instead of against me.
In my very humble view, this 1990 paper by Paul Romer (who later won the Nobel prize in Economics) is perhaps his most brilliant one.

It has collected more than 1,600 citations [0] on Econpapers alone.

Regarding 1) Can the title IX issue be resolved by separating the sport budgets from academic budgets? If the football programs receive no money from the general budget, is their mere existence discriminatory, assuming equal numbers of scholarships are given to female athletes?
Yeah, tax income doesn't have to come from the general public if the state has a competitive advantage it can exploit in some way. That's how Florida gets away with ranking #2 on fiscal security with no income tax too; tourism pays for everything.
After letting myself go a bit last year, I've been (with the exception of a vacation or two) strictly keto and time-restricted (at least 18:6) feeding daily. Currently 20 pounds down from my peak, and I got as far as 25 down before I spent two weeks in Europe mostly visiting biergartens. All that with not much exercise, though I'm starting to incorporate resistance training.
Ohh that seems to alleviate the problem. Place every single block individually would take forever
Advertising creates a race to the bottom, that is, the lowest common denominator. It requires watering down of content to be entertaining to the masses, rather than to provide deep insights required by a very small population of eyeballs.

At the time he was writing about (pre-WWII), many people of Jewish descent who by looks and/or surname could "pass" as non-Jewish, did so to avoid anti-semitism. Many of them even practiced a degree of anti-semitism themselves. MacLean is suggesting that Michelson (who didn't identify as Jewish despite his heritage) was such a person.
Interesting. For a lot of gamers and programmers it's the opposite. Intense focus and engagement often results in forgetting to eat and/or sleep. This is well known in the gaming community.
Thanks for the perspective. I spent about half the Harper years abroad, and while I remember the Progressives Conservatives and the Reform / Canadian Alliance parties merging back in what, 2003? I wasn't really paying enough attention to politics back then to understand the implications. I think to your point the Conservatives in the merger basically marketed themselves as a more moderate Reform party.

You should checkout BLESS (or better, Lyft's changes to BLESS), which drastically reduce the work traditionally needed to do this. Basically, you piggy-back on your cloud provider's security tooling.
> The same goes for GitHub and GitLab

In fact, that is worse. If you don't like Github and don't want a Github account, the problem is that the project you want to contribute to isn't part of Github. It's just there due to some unfortunate decision that someone made to move to Github.

If you don't like Google and don't want a Google account, you also shouldn't want to contribute to Google code; problem solved.
I was at Daqri from employee ~12 to ~300. It was a wild ride and I've got some really amazing memories with only a bit of scarring to show for it :)

Daqri was really good at recruiting amazing people, and really bad at turning them into a functioning company. Communication between teams (and particularly offices) was really lacking; I remember back when the helmet was built on Android (in LA) and all the vision scientists were working on iOS (in Sunnyvale), they had this amazing world-tracking demo that we just couldn't use.

The Two Trees photonics tech is absolutely amazing, check it out if you get a chance - field programmable holograms. Point the thing at any glass surface and you get a hologram "in" it. Blew my mind the first time I saw it! Dunno if it ever made it into headware.

I think a high wage also requires the same things it does in other professions - flexibility and willingness to chase opportunities.

If you're a welder in a small mid-west town with no obvious industry, your prospects are going to suck. If you're willing to go to the oil patch for a few years, you could do really well.

There are also many good quality podcasts that don't use advertising.
Is there a way for me to reliably employ a hawk, owl, or snake around my property?
Check your history books about the time before WW I and between WW I and WW II. Both periods are completely comparable with this now.

It was the “common knowledge” that the big war “can’t happen”.

“Everywhere” in your answer means for you. Ask the families of dead soldiers about “everywhere” or the millions of people outside the of the US whose relatives died in wars or even only due to the US sanctions which are how the US prepares for its next war (like in Iraq).
If I go to the stock exchange and buy one share of a company at double the going rate, then until another exchange occurs my price is the going price, and the 'value' of the company as doubled.

I'm not saying its the answer, I personally find it unsatisfying, but it is an answer, and on some levels the only answer that matters.
Is this company funded by govt contracts for ship manufacturing by any chance?
I’m really trying to get out of the breakfast habit. If I cut out breakfast just on the 4 days a week I don’t work out (as opposed to the three days that I workout around 2.5 hours a day) I could easily lose over a pound a month and get past my “I think I look decent in a short sleeve shirt” plateau to, a toned very low body fat weight.
> License plates already feature non-overlap

No, they don't.

> a standard California plate is 2AAA222, while a New Mexico plate is AAA222.

And the New Mexico AAA222 pattern is currently shared with Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, one of the optional Michigan designs, Mississippi, one of the Montana designs, some Nebraska plates, North Carolina, the Northern Mariana Islands, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Vermont, and the US Virgin Islands.

To be fair, only NC, OK, and PR share NMs use of a dash between the alpha and numeric portion.
I think Tim Ferris needs credit here. He shared years ago that drinking tea was good for your brain mostly due to the ritual of brewing it by cup. You stop multitasking in your head, focus on creation of the tea (brewing) which allows you to slow down and organize your thoughts. The caffeine boost afterwards energizes your brain and allows you to put focus where it is needed.

Something like, "Slow down to speed up."

I took it to heart years ago and often brew tea to drink when I feel locked up mentally.

BTW, I still can't make four hours a week work.
