I understood that. My point was that people who say "protein timing" are referring to consuming protein supplementation around the time that they work out, to maximize hypertrophy or performance.

I don't believe so. The abstract of the paper indicates that they separated the groups into those who ate 15/20/65% protein ratio through the day, and those who did 33/33/33%. In my experience, "timing your pro

Inexpensive, mass-market furniture is going to be hard to build a business around in this regard. A lot of rightful squawking about prices compared to Overstock/Wayfair. What if you're targeting too downmarket with this? What if i

Somewhat unrelated, I'm curious if there are documented examples of raised coin from an ICO being laundered/tumbled.

There's no mention of Tumblr in that article, and 2100 people constitutes a large number but ultimately a low percentage of the folks who work for Yahoo and for all its subsidiaries.

Good call. IMO Snapchat suffers from the same issues of having little to profile users on and an unintuitive medium to sell advertising into. Even more interestingly, they're in that Twitter-esque post-IPO tumult where corrective force

You might infer such a valuation on an ICO with a coin that is tenuously that valuable, but 1.1b for Tumblr was an outright acquisition, cold cash. You could probably claim a value of 1.1b on any hackneyed scam via ICO, but the issues with

Clickbait purveyors are certainly conducting large-scale A/B testing on their content as it's presented and shared. You even see it on twitter where journos will post ten stings for the same article and wait for one to win out. It

I've long held, without any real concrete evidence, that Apple puts its best and most powerful iOS UI behind modern hardware/device capabilities as a ploy to coerce sales of newer devices. So much stuff is hiding behind Force Touc

It sounds like you may have an opportunity to offload some of that power-user/consultant content to contractors who just integrate your platform in their gigs. Or, operate a linearly-scaling in-house consultancy and have your platform

But to revisit the analogy about stolen police/military arms, are we to blame casualties/victims of these stolen arms for not being able to defend themselves? Yes, those tasked with network and infrastructure security should be he

Correct, and that's one way to decisively filter out people who haven't worked on a nontrivial web app.

Not at all. I'm getting at the fact that many frontend devs don't know JavaScript, they just know cut-and-paste jQuery or how to fiddle with/maintain React/Angular components in a large app.

It's funny because in a different context, that's exactly a sequence of questions that I as an engineer would ask: > Do you have experience with React? > Okay, do you have experience writing pure, vanilla JavaScript? Absent

There's another side to the value of headhunters and agencies, at least the competent ones, and that's the ability to warm a pipeline of candidates and do a lot of the grooming that your regex, no matter how clever, won't be

That is a staggering CPA vis a vis product cost. Is that just based on the congestion of keyword bidding? Or does CPA actually mean conversion/sale and the path to close is very difficult? I feel like Amazon could swoop in with a compe

Also for context, Reddit found a lot of steam when Digg suffered a mass exodus based on seismic product shifts. I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit was consciously and unconsciously averse to that kind of mutation.

With zero inside knowledge, it appears to me that they have a very brittle legacy feature set due to scale concerns, tolerated integrations/extensions, and being held hostage by the community. There is new product feature development h

Developer productivity vs devops hell is a compelling argument for MongoDB for fast iteration when building out. I'm fortunate to deal with relatively low scale with my Mongo deployment, but I'm hoping by the time the seams show i

This seems like a pretty common response for a breaking incident for a scale app. Requests flow through to a failing system and trigger HTTP 500. Those requests may pachinko through the stack, making a variety of calls that can compound the

I believe that Lyft doesn't have to compete globally with Uber to be a successful business in its own right. I also believe that Uber isn't immune from being crippled by competitors that operate in a very small but key subset of U

Tangentially related: is there a seasonal ebb and flow to Uber usage that could soften or sharpen this delta? I know I'm much less likely to want to walk 3 miles in February than October, but that's just one person in one city.

If you have a decent number of iOS users, why pull the app? Why not just let it spin out into deep space, and stop supporting it with updates? That's an honest question, by the way.

I don't contest that those sites feel laggy and clunky, whether by poor load time, poor UX/UI, or some larger dysfunction. However, I would offer that the usage of React is not so much the cause of poor performance but rather a st
