This actually was super useful, and yes, HCI is my biggest interest, but I'm having a tough time integrating it other than trying my best to be a UX expert where I work - though to be honest HCI seems to encompass a bit more than UX an

Yeah this seems more like something that Angular should be doing, rather than the end user. If you're in a production environment Angular should enable this for you.

There's two ways to make exercise more strenuous: increase the load/intensity, or increase the duration/volume. So practically speaking for HIIT, if the premise here was you went "all out", you can't possible g

I never said one minute per day works. I said that interval training also works for fit people.

It works for everyone. Bodybuilders use HIIT as a way to cut fat by getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time (this is also great conditioning work for athletes too). The difference is a fit person who is adapted to exercise will

It's a clickbaity title, because it's not really one total minute of exercise. What this is unraveling is the benefits of HIIT (high intensity interval training). They did a very basic and very minimal form of intervals, because t

Why can't they be the silicon valley of energy? Instead of trying to put water where it shouldn't, focus on what it's great at - harvesting lots of solar energy with little cloud cover.

But you can beat the market by doing a few things: 1. Invest, don't trade. That means buying companies in large quantities when they're at a bargain, and holding for a long time (think years or even decades). This will keep your c
