My running form improved greatly, and quickly, when I ran barefoot (or wear 5 finger shoes). Doesn't have to be far, could be a few hundred meters as a part of a warmup. If you're overstriding, slamming your forefeet or…
Finasteride, from what I've read, can have side effects that are worse than the hairloss. I'll take a receding hairline over ED. OP: Cut it short, shave it all if it's thin, get a thicker neck (serious. It's the biggest…
I clicked it at work. We're in a temporary space with a few dozen 3 and 4 person offices, all have floor-to-ceiling walls and doors. The acoustics are pretty good. Even the loud talkers are tolerable, for the most part.…
Yow, bit by the English as a second language bug. Yeah, that one word really changes the meaning of that phrase. Yes, absolutely a more reasonable statement knowing that it's the way 'complexion' is similar to…
uh... "most physically fit males - especially ones of Brown complexion - are armed to cause serious physical harm" It's a good idea to rephrase that. edit - yes, a lot of black athletes have lower body fat than whites,…
Even as recently as mass immigration to America. People who got on the boats across the Atlantic weren't coming back, and communication was slow. Some people just want to go.
There are three types of "good architectural choices" The first: The ones that can be made after the original, bad ones. The second draft, which is an improvement in the first draft, in every field. The second: His (or…
Actually, there's something I'd pay $20 for. I mail you a list of measurements. You mail me a list of brands and styles that fit.
Death threats, death wishes... it's over an init daemon on a software project. I can't imagine "Someone wants to paint the front door RED?! They should die." happening under any circumstances. It's concerning to me, on…
I've been thinking about pasting this news into my Facebook. Three times, erased each time. "Guy gets multiple death threats because of the program he wants to start his computer is different from another program other…
Right, in the case of the roomba and the vending machine, the human decision is 'turn on the roomba' and 'push the vending machine button' The assumption of the roomba creator is that 'anything on the floor can be…
It's a question of morality in a philosophical sense, not as an application of science or engineering. The roomba is capable of killing. Whether the operator is aware of this or not, when they use the roomba to clean…
Gas stations are consumers of the products of oil refineries and oil wells. HP is a consumer of Intel's chips. Free markets reward business to business sales very well.
you guys know that the plastic surgeons who were telling their clients they could make them look like Zuckerberg are hoping this doesn't get out, right?
I just spent the better part of a month cleaning up some CI issues. By the time I go to bed tonight, I hope to have a CI process completed for two platform implementations of an application that's been under development…
We're kind of talking about two different, but very similar, topics. One is that Indian work culture is long hours, 6 day weeks, get it done and do it inexpensively. This is true, it's cultural. Some of their practices…
It's true. It's been my experience that Indians, the few hundred I've worked with, are willing to put in long hours. Many of which were spent playing ping pong, talking, getting coffees. They also were working, but, the…
the existing model has been to subsidize newspaper sales with advertising for a very long time. This same model carried forward through radio and television. The alternative is a pay-per-view service, or subscribing to…
static wick failure, minor fuel leak, big bang. That said, I really have no clue about how these things work. That's just one scenario I could see leading to a midair explosion.
I'll add another: It doesn't matter where you go, until you change, everything will remain the same. edit: For relevant context: if you're thinking about quitting, your alternatives are 1) give two weeks and leave, for…
I was going to snark and say "monster.com" Then I went to Mattermark and read about it a bit... could be useful. Maybe a bit excessive to get more than the free trial for a job search, but, for investing, it could be…
why do i have this far off feeling that there's another winnuke style attack lurking in this...
I agree with most of what you're saying. It's just another point of view, and it might only even seem "bleak" because Gibson is so nonchalant about the worlds he writes. They're futures that the characters just accept…
I'm going to guess you're either around 20 and just don't know many people who took up new pursuits in their later years, or that you're late 50s and haven't seen peers put the same amount of effort they put in when…
