First time hearing The Prayer, wow. Just threw on my headphones and listened to it 5 times.
Not to take away from your comment, but I wanted to highlight another sport that requires similar sacrifice at an early age, which is the male dominated sport of F1 racing. Many top drivers are the result of training…
> So many here hate it because it’s form over function. I think that is the general point GP is trying to get at. As a consumer, you consider many factors to base your purchase on and if a product doesn't meet your…
Your proposed approach could very well be the right way to distribute opportunity, but on some level it’s hard for me to fully buy in to it. To me, it would come down to using data to decide who gets a helping hand and…
Going off on your point about "morality is subtlely guided by the structures of society...", the division that's created where people are put into morality buckets of "good people" and "bad people" have a lot to do with…
These are two really good points, but #2 seems so obvious yet has never occurred to me. I believe a property of the "good at math" persona is that the individual can just "magically" solve a math problem _quickly_ in…
It's true that this trend is ingrained in the Asian immigrant community. To expand on your point that the pressures are due to narrow views when determining success, most people and especially Asians, measure success…
I haven't done much research on this but is it possible to even buy a 70in+ monitor?
I wanted to add my own experience regarding your situation since it is very similar to mine - I liked my company for the most part, I liked what I was working on, and I liked my co-workers. However, my company was going…
Wanted to add some other ones I did not see suggested: Freakonomics Radio - by the authors of the book of the same name Travel with Rick Steves - podcast by famous travel guide Rick Steves Dinner Part Download - nice…
Kind of off topic, but I just purchased a used Mac Mini (2012 model i5 2.5Ghz) that the previous owner upgraded to 16GB for $575. When I first heard they announced the new Mac Mini today I was worried that I should have…
Out of curiosity, was there a specific reason you went from Clojure to Haskell or was it more about exploring a new language? I ask because I am currently learning Clojure, but wonder if there is something unique that…
Nice product and very clean design. You allow for query by romaji, but could there be a way for you to output romaji as well?
I agree that parts of this tactic were beneficial in helping the people of Cuba to gain increase freedoms, but the article also mentions that these communications were being monitored and stored by the US as well. So…
I also like working with music but can become unfocused. What seems to work for me is to listen to music in a foreign language because that way I can focus on my work and not the lyrics.
It's only relevant because in today's startup environment, "single female, non-tech, no-team" is considered an outlier regarding the characteristics of a successful (subjective) founder.
I work for a big company where there is a lot of down time. It may sound appealing - good pay with minimal to no work, along with minimal supervision - but it get boring real fast and can be demoralizing. I would rather…
A variation of intermittent fasting that is geared towards those that workout/weightlift is called leangains which you can learn about at leangains.com and r/leangains. I have been doing it for over 2 years and I lift…
How about a third scenario that may be closer to the situation we have been facing in the US: Imagine you are stranded on a desert island with 3 other persons and the only source of food is coconuts for which you must…
This sounds interesting to me as I have been doing leangains for a little over 2 years now (although not strict). I would love to hear more about your project and maybe I could even provide assistance in some form.
I would just like to add that although machines have their place and are great at helping beginners learn certain movements and build up strength, I would advise against using them longterm. The reason for this is…
