This comment seems to contradict itself. Can you clarify your position?

Would love to see what HN thinks about this. I recently picked up a book called Anti-Diet on this subject, at the suggestion of my physician, and I don't know what I think yet. It seems almost dangerous, yet the arguments are very intu

I've heard people say their HP is "blue". I've also heard "G.O.D.": "Group of Drunks". So I think you can stretch it as much as necessary.

TFA uses "giving" and "taking" in an idiosyncratic way. Specifically, in terms of giving/taking the stage . That's the purpose of the story about improv at the top.

It's not all-or-nothing. We must be able to understand that nuclear disasters are bad while also not being overly freaked out by them.

Don't quote me on this, but I think you personally will absorb more radiation from eating bananas in your lifetime than you would from Zaporizhzhia even if it were blown to smithereens. Risks from nuclear meltdowns are actually overinf

I think he's got the right idea, except that Christianity doesn't hold a patent on transcendence.

The way I think about stability is that it's actually how I can not stagnate. Stagnation comes from going around in circles trying to fix the same problems over and over again. Stability allows me to make incremental progress over a

That's not true though. The remainder of the text buffer is shifted. It really is a deletion and not an addition.

Go to a physician. Don't rely too much on things that contain calcium carbonate because you can give yourself a kidney stone.

> so we can optimize for engaging discussion instead of outrage The way to do this might be to engage people, who are so interested, in email threads. But that doesn't drive dopamine cycles in the same way.

> Give it a rest and it will come back, or not. I don't think this is right. I think instead GP can pick up the brush over and over again and make things happen with or without the creative spark. The point is to get inspired by one

This is inspiring, and let's look at why so many of us have the impulse to figure out what the flaw or missing part of the story is. For me, it's because I hadn't done something so cool at 17. That makes me think, huh, I wond

That's a gripping description, thanks and I hope Gary is still telling stories.

Ergonomic sensors... Yes, this would be a great feature. Not sure if I want my desk to do that, or another device, though.

I like the scheduled sit and stand, and I like the power and cable management. The display concept... As someone in physical therapy for neck strain, I have my doubts about putting a bunch of information in the plane of the desk itself. Als

Are you designing and writing software? I don't think you're going to screw up your career at all.

Selenium is more widespread but I recommend Playwright as the most modern automation library. Comes with plugins for making your automations more... nimble.

I think this is a great idea and look forward to joining. I keep seeing others stumble on the "coding isn't all you need" kink in the carpet, and I'm personally trying to get all the help I can navigating a move to Big T

Darn, this is completely true. I feel like such a techie when I scroll HN and hoard links for later perusal. In fact I feel so much better than I did about the same time spent on FB or Reddit. But I'm still not putting that time into c

Theranos contained the seed of a good idea. That it was a toxic cult run by psychopaths is unfortunate.

I like how far the metaphor is taken, and I think these ideas are applicable to those of us who are not in academia but nevertheless have long term projects and research to attend to.

I'm in the same boat! I feel better because my twitchy fingers always lead to learning or discussing something new and interesting, but they're still twitchy fingers.

I took a risk and used it, and it's pretty spooky what's available.

Yep, proteins are so much more flexible / precise than small molecules. Also we can get the body to produce them. Think mRNA vaccines.
