Seconded. I'm a relatively experienced lifter - heavy squats 3x per week is brutal for the first week or so and then your body adapts to it. I've found that I'll actually stick with a ~hourlong workout, 3-5x a week that…
Both of these posts have been educational and I now understand the debate in far more detail than before. Thank you!
WRT Executives interests not necessarily aligning with their parent - absolutely true. And yeah, I probably should have been less abrasive. Can you double-check your link? I tried following it but it just links to this…
TIL Comcast isn't in it for the public interest. I'm not missing that at all. The fact that we expect corporations to further their own interests over those of the public (and that people who are cunning enough to get…
That's decently accurate. We're all doing what's in our best interest, in the role that we play in that time. In general - I want to give people who don't know me personally (and especially people trying to sell me…
Yeah, but Watterson clearly doesn't like working with technology. He's very much a pen-paper-human kind of guy, and I don't see him all of a sudden deciding to step into the internet. I'll be darned if he couldn't find…
Am I the only one who thinks that this could hugely backfire from a PR perspective? The message is "The Verizon Network is Crowded Right Now." not "Verizon is Deliberately Slowing This Right Now." (or some less loaded…
This is awesome! As a non-neuroscientist, the WashU course on Coursera about Computational Neuroscience was also really good. Not sure if there's an upcoming offering, but I'd highly recommend taking it. Keep in mind…
Yeah - I second that. Quora is one of the few sites that sends me weeklyish emails that I haven't unsubscribed from because the content is fantastic. I always seem to learn something from clicking through it. It's kind…
SEEKING WORK - San Francisco - Remote or Travel Data - Python - Machine Learning - Human Learning Software developer with experience in machine learning, statistics, web apps, data mining specific to hardware. Work…
I have a different approach to the same problem, although I'm actively building out a solution involving creating geographically local communities around MOOCs and finding study partners (Coursera/meetup have attempted…
You're right - I should have phrased it "perceived self-interest mixed with doses of human volatility/irrationality"
I would argue more that the instilled mindset of "do as the authority figures say, you have no influence in the matter" that's pervasive in schools also does a huge amount to train adults to not feel like they have this…
I've basically stopped believing any science headline from a major mainstream news source. CNN? MSNBC? Fox? Huffpo? Don't even bother, they're misinterpreting the science deliberately. Dat clickbait.
Awesome article! Out of curiosity, how do you handle conflicts? Like, say you have an important customer who wants to meet in the morning, or things have fallen behind and DEAR GOD I NEED THOSE HOURS TO MAKE IT WORK?…
I'd also love to hear your thoughts on why you're hanging up the jacket - I'm considering starting consulting in the same area for side income. (and whether you'd considered charging per week, Patrick Mackenzie-ing a…
From a "get people to play with numbers" perspective, this was actually a pretty cool challenge on Warren Buffet's part. Most people are going to spray-and-pray (my facebook feed is full of facetious "shit, there goes…
Thank you for saying this! IMO there's way too much fearmongering (largely from people who have no experience trading, or from traders who don't want to see other people do better than them) about this. I've traded…
Instead of tossing around hyperbole, can you perhaps point out some specifics?
Appreciate you bringing up the flipside. Out of curiosity, what sites would you say have been constructive? My intuition is that StackExchange would probably be good if you're knowledgeable in esoteric/lucrative fields,…
Set up times to work with people. The best stretches of pounding out productive side project work usually start with discussing it with a friend, both lamenting how much we're wasting time and messing around on it, and…
Is there some LGBT organization in the UK who could pull off publicly granting a pardon to the government for its' treatment of Alan Turing?
Out of curiosity, do you have anything more on what destroys the lenses? Heat/melting? Some form of radioactive dust?
We already can make simple ones, it's a matter of radiation shielding. They don't have to be huge expensive humanoid ones. Robots were used in the Chernobyl cleanup 25 years ago although they ended up getting fried from…
From your perspective, what should McConlogue do or have done differently? He's obviously going to benefit from the exposure but I don't see any evidence that he's throwing Leo under the bus in the process. It seems…
