I was at the receiving end of this. Not at Amazon but at another similar Silicon Valley tech company. When I was hired I thought it was a great opportunity and moved my family to SV. First day I go in, I realized that…
Working with graphs, I realized its hard to generate dynamic ones and you inevitably end up with domain specific layouts. I guess thats the nature of graph drawing algorithms, its usually specific to the problem. Thanks…
Thanks for that, will try out graphviz. I was doing some custom implementation for minimizing edge crossings and it seems to work fine for me but thats mostly for 2-layered graphs. If I am to expand to multi-layer…
Can I ask - how did you find working with graphviz. Was this your first time working with it, how long did it take you to figure out how to place things and draw? I am working with drawing graphs at the moment and…
I agree with your overall message but in this case I would like to point out one thing - a lot of fad diets were first adopted by people and then researched to see if they are helpful where as Fodmap has been…
I suffer from IBS as well and out of all the things that flares up my IBS, stress is a prominent one. Reading research papers, its been seen that gut biome changes based on stress - look up gut-brain connection, theres…
Thanks, yes I have been following fodmap for years now and reduced my gluten intake as well and that has helped a bit. Although its only recommended for 3 to 6 months. I have also slowly been introducing foods I have…
As someone with IBS, totally agree with you. I wish the research would trickle down into actual treatments. I have started following a lot of research about gut etc but very little of it leads to something that can mass…
Thanks for that. Gives a lot more perspective. Is it usually high maintenance to maintain the farm i.e. do you have people taking care of it - how hands on do you have to be for that. I would expect GP to be a lot more…
If you don't mind, what do you produce on your farm and how many do you hire. It seems like you would need a high output yield to generate millions or have a pretty large farm. Also how do you sell your produce/product?…
Yes and FDA started restricted the amount anyone can buy because some people started abusing it to the extreme. Now to get a 16mg dose, you would probably need a prescription
Starting at 40mg - thats sounds really high. I wonder whats the effect on the gut. Doesnt the food get backed up a lot which leads really really bad constipation or is that not as pronounced.
Yea atleast from personal experience with n=1, I think it does affect cognition and honestly I am glad it works that way and I discovered it lol. On other days when IBS is in full effect, I dread doing any work and have…
Wow, cant imagine being in your situation. I would say try to ease yourself into lowering your dose slowly. I am not sure if its even possible with your situation but with IBS I try to control everything else including…
> BNF and Department of Health (England) don't describe addiction to loperamide, but do describe its use as an adjunctive treatment for people trying to come off opioids, which suggests it's not that problematic As…
Could you suggest resources (books, articles, videos, moocs or others) to learn good database design. I am picking up skills about sql but want to better understand and learn about databases. As someone who doesnt have…
As someone who only suffers from IBS, I have had good results from elimination and low fodmap diet. However stress and anxiety also have a pretty big and equal effect as diet. Both go together for me and even if one of…
Good point about dual intent. One thing though I think it’s bit easier to renew and you can also keep renewing it without any time limit.
Agree with you completely. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to come up with a Canadian or UK like points based system.
Thanks. With the way it’s phrased as ‘case by case‘ basis - I think even if it’s technically allowed, they may end up rejecting on broad terms. Anyways I am already packing my bags and will be out of the country in a…
It’s less than what you may think it is. It also highly depends on your lawyer, I know a couple of people who you may think may not qualify but their lawyers ended up writing a lot of stuff (not made up obviously, just…
If they have a number or publications as you say, they may be eligible to apply for O-1 visa. I know a couple of people who received it and (in my opinion) got it for less than what you may think of as good technical…
Does this apply to H1B ‘transfers’? I know that it’s not officially called a transfer so was wondering if that be counted as a new application and so will be rejected.
Only slightly related but a couple of years back I got an alexa as a gift. When you open the alexa app, they had the option to add list of todos as a reminder. The first thing I did is to say something like - Alexa, add…
I cant speak for other diets but I follow low fodmap diet as I suffer from IBS. I always assumed that I was prescribed that diet to influence the gut bacteria. I mean the bacteria ferment on high fodmap foods and bloat…
