I wonder if these poorly-conducted studies are properly reporting any sources of funding an conflict of interest, as well as how they get past peer-review if they have relatively basic methodological …

I'm not GP, but I've played a few adventure games and was very excited to try Monkey Island because of its sense of humor and style. But it felt basically unplayable to me (basically it felt…

Frankly I'm not very convinced by that -- it seems that most social networks are already killed by winner-takes-all SV companies buying-out any possible threat. The situation in America is an abs…

Is that true though? Are there any 5-person startups with < 10k users getting sued/shutdown by this regulation?

I feel like if you really think there's a piece of evidence that you think needs to be shared you should link to some of the published journal articles tho book links to rather than trying to sel…

A blog post won't be indexed on google scholar for other academics to reference though. Maybe a preprint would be? In my opinion the goal is to get a record of the information and the dataset out…

shrug I meet that checklist, but of course I'd only be interested in a non-technical cofounder who passed a similarly comprehensive checklist (e.g. proven career in sales, major connections wit…

For me it's interesting -- I'm somebody who has in the past made the niceties when somebody reached about but ultimately not reciprocated much. And it wasn't because I didn't care,…

I'm glad to have read it here, it's newsworthy to me, but I don't think the discussion would be worthy. Maybe it'd be nice to have those two be disconnected.

Philosophy mumbo-jumbo. Consciousness is not a scientifically meaningful term if it is not defined in a falsifiable way.

>> You can't take days testing gradual roll outs for this type of content, because that's how long customers are left unprotected by that content. If you can't take days to do it …

You say that, but if you're in a 10-day survival situation you'd happily have olive oil by day 3. Maybe if you're planning for 3+ months off the grid it becomes a bad idea, but I don&#x…

I dunno this seems stupid to me. So 10 days worth of emergency food at $8 per meal? Like olive oil is safe to eat for years, costs $5 / meal if it's all you eat and you get the fancy kind, a…

It's really scary how a tiny amount of a mineral can permanently damage the human mind. I have to admit there's a part of me that almost wants to be skeptical, that mg of a rock could overco…

> Why do people think this writing style is attractive? Do you actually want to understand the answer to this question?

This actually, according to hard economics, is potentially an optimal solution. Fossil fuels provide a great benefit to one party but produce negative externalities to other parties (people in hurrica…

Yeah it's an interesting question. Of course these days since it's public domain you could have chat GPT give you every sentence with a modern translation alongside. It's sometimes hard…

I agree with the first paragraph, but I think your math is wrong. If you invested in Nvidia in 2006 it'd be up 46% a year every year on that investment.

My personal wish is a compromise -- there should be a universal button that we designate as the "SHOW ME WHAT I CAN DO" button. It would show scrollbars, enumerate every shortcut, hilight ev…

I'm really surprised that 300ms at startup would result in 25% fewer pods.... What % reduction in the total startup time is that? Is it possible the prior measurement happened during a high traff…

You're welcome to flag, but it looks like maybe you're the minority opinion on this. Looks like more people prefer a TL;DR than are upset by it.

> unlike Triplebyte, we interview you only if, conditional on you doing well, we have a job you'd be interested in That sounds really prudent. > What you're saying, in essence, is &quo…

To be fair, the article is only promising diagnosis, which doesn't care about the direction of causality.

I mean good for them. I guess before I'd make a profile (either for my employer or myself) I'd want some basic stats: - How many fully remote jobs paying over $200k base do you have in your …

I'm not sure I believed in sugar as an addiction at first. Then I tried this keto diet because I had seen my friend try it and he lost a lot of weight. And then I had this phenomenon that was so…

> So are we ready to ban bread? You're arguing in bad faith. Nobody said banning, the article said that there should be warning labels. So yes, people should be aware that when they get a wond…
