My only nitpick is on No Alpha, you can't beat the market on securities that everyone is tracking (mid to large caps). Companies with low institutional ownership (usually small or micro cap) are not well-researched so there is still m

Dave Asprey is a bullshitter. He's trying to sell you expensive, high-calorie coffee. No matter what you eat, if you eat too many calories, that is also bad for you. Ketosis can also raise your resting blood sugar levels to prediabetic

I've been doing this for years thanks to VLC's ability to speed things up. YouTube has had this feature for a while as well, as has Coursera. If a typical show on TV is 1 hour long, 15-20 of it is commercials. I can download that

Deliberate practice has received an almost obsessive following by the HN community - I feel like I see articles about this at least once a week. What I fail to see are any recommendations of how to apply this to software development. In my
