A sleep study is the gold standard, but sleep trackers like Oura reportedly getting pretty good and a lot cheaper and easier.
Beautifully put. To add to that, they need to win against the darkness every time. The darkness only needs to win once. I lost my brother in law to suicide. He left behind three young children and the harm he caused to…
I was curious about this and looked it up on google trends. It looks like acetaminophen is the more commonly searched term. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=paracetamol,%2Fm%...
This was just an example where someone with no experience may have had an advantage. They would have had to learn as well, but wouldn’t be fighting against their muscle memory. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I…
This is definitely true sometimes, but the “wrong” kind of experience can definitely hamper people. I have a highly skilled senior developer with a desktop app development background who joined our web team, he’s…
Agreed, and that had a happier ending where they moved him to a sort of R&D position. I think this article pats itself on the back too much. They didn’t manage “Rick” and let him work 7 days a week 12 hour days, and…
That sounds implausible. It looks to be somewhere around 21%. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CURRCIR
Twitter's bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions which would make a hostile takeover difficult. In their latest 10K they list these provisions which includes "authorizing 'blank check' preferred stock, which could be…
Which this is not. He is making an offer to buy which the board has to approve. The title is wrong in this case.
Each use case is going to be different but my experience with containerization and managed Kubernetes has been fantastic. We have a small team (5 people) and have over time managed physical servers, virtual servers in…
Kosher labelling is not mandatory. Mandating that all foods be either labelled as KOSHER or NON-KOSHER would be a better example, and something I hope nobody would support. Producers should be free to add any of these…
It's not binary. It's a trade-off that potentially decreases their capabilities and readiness. We might weigh the calculus differently (fewer dead whales) but it's not as simple as saying they don't care.
Fair points, but the comment "because the moderators volunteered" made me cringe. I have a great deal of respect and sympathy for mods because I've helped moderate other forums and the task is both rewarding,…
We need to differentiate between fault and responsibility. Victoria may very well have been at fault, but the responsibility for steering the ship was management's and they appear to have been unaware that you needed…
Ignorance more than callousness appears to be the sin here. From snippets of communications posted with the mods it looks like they weren't really aware of what Victoria did for the mods. Since the community is their…
This. There is a massive range in daycare from "your child will be alive when you come back" to "all our staff have degrees in childhood education" (and of course the associated price range). The same is true of…
Zebra mussels have had a noticeable effect on water clarity in Chicago harbors in the last ten years. When the light is right it's possible to see 20-30 feet down easily when the view was always previously occluded.…
I am not astonished iOS lacks parental controls but admit they would be useful. Establishing rules for my toddler is relatively easy when in the context of a physical object (e.g. don't touch the TV, you can only read…
Have you had any sync problems with OneDrive or Google Drive? After switching to OneDrive from Dropbox six months ago I've continuously had problems with OneDrive syncing correctly and resolving conflicts by silently…
1. I cook primarily for control over a lot of factors (taste/health/cost/ingredients). I find the process enjoyable but it's not my primary motivation. 2. I make rough meal plans for about half the week and then have a…
The US Civil War was essentially fought over the right of states to unilaterally withdraw from the union (the answer was no). The constitution could be amended to explicitly allow this but I don't foresee that happening…
His expectations for what a community and community manager should be are certainly set extraordinarily high: > "In summary: a 'community manager' is really an 'audience handler' .... and frankly I've run out of…
I think the site can still be useful without being balanced. Highlighting collateral damage/silly consequences of a law is a useful service as the public (in my experience) tends to have a low tolerance for too much…
A lobbyist giving money, goods, or services directly to a representative for their personal use would still be corruption. The distinction usually is that you offering to spend money on their behalf for a campaign but…
That's a good point. I think the difference is that instagram had an existing userbase and social ecosystem that complemented Facebook nicely as another content stream. I don't think you will need a Facebook login to…
