Sam Altman concurs with the benefits of morning light: > I use a full spectrum LED light most mornings for about 10-15 minutes while I catch up on email. It’s great—if you try nothing else in here, this is the thing I’d try. https:&#x2F

This looks awesome, can’t wait to try it. Last time I used pyquery though it was considerably more limited than CSS and jQuery syntax, and I reverted to XPath. Has it improved recently?

To further elaborate on 2, it solves the problem of maintaining loose version ranges in your requirements.txt file, but keeping the versions pinned when you deploy. For example if you put `foo>=2` in your requirements.txt, this is danger

Forgive my ignorance but why is submitting a hash a problem? Because Troy knows which passwords have been checked? Why should I care about that? I get that it’s like submitting your password in the clear if it’s in the DB, but in that case

Randomised intervention - i.e. randomly selecting a group of people to change their behaviour and comparing to the group that doesn’t change, who ideally receives a placebo. The random part is important, any other type of selection (e.g. ob

Honestly, I believe the exact opposite is true. Why should you make your users and their batteries work harder to get what they want? Somebody comes to our website with a task in their head, and fundamentally our goal is to help them comple
