Even if you wanted to use another mode of transport it's often impossible if you live in the suburbs / exurbs. Sidewalks can be patchy at best and bike lanes are an afterthought; often they include the steepest part of the road gr

Does this still give you the "stats" aspects of Peloton (i.e. is there some power meter on that bike that connects via the Peloton digital thing)? I'm intrigued by Peloton, but after they basically said "we'll start

Has anyone purchased a Peloton and found it useful? I'm not sure what it provides compared to a similar bike plus a tablet to watch the myriad videos on YouTube. Is it some sort of exercise status symbol to show off to their peer group

Rowing is a lot closer to swimming than running, primarily because the load on your joints is dictated by the output of your muscles, whereas in running the load is primarily impacted by each of the small "falls back to Earth" you

You're missing the other JVM-based languages, notably Scala. Scala has a "tunable" level of PL feature usage; you can write very Java-esque Scala at the beginning and slowly incorporate more advanced features. The key thing a

I think people with BTC FOMO forget that it was always some sort of "hype Ponzi scheme". Back in 2011, I worked in an office that had one guy who was really into BTC. Looking back now, everyone thinks "wow he was such a geniu

This is very accurate. I always describe fines as "bimodal" in how they're considered by companies a) big enough that they could significantly damage a company's bottom line b) small enough that they are considered to be

It was more to say "expat Americans are not proportionately representative of non-expat Americans", i.e. I have not met one Trump supporter while abroad (or if I have, they have kept very quiet).

In most cases it did: I even wrote a python script to use matplotlib to generate a few "contribution graphs" like one sees on github. That visual was usually enough to tell the profs to not give my teammates any credit when they d

I would guess that the interests of SMB owners for US residents and expats differ. SMB owners in the US probably think more short-term and think that policies from Trump will help them (which they may, but will ultimately continue the stead

Most people who are immigrants have almost by definition a better-than-average work ethic. You can see this if you know a bunch of people from country X when you live in country Y (where Y is usually a country "better off" than X)

I did not go to an Ivy, but I went to the 1-2 ranked public institution in the US (for CS). The baseline is definitely higher, but there is a big gap between people who got there by their own grit and determination and people who got there
