This, and as someone who recently found out that they have a severe vitamin D deficiency, I was surprised to know that it's not something normally checked for in yearly blood tests.

I can't wait until John Oliver hears about this. He will literally have the last laugh.

I wonder how much more efficient the generation could be? 60Watts is still somewhat impressive in the rig mentioned, but I wonder if maybe better control of the rpms of the generator (through gearing) could give more efficient generation.

I totally agree with you. I had one free day in Paris a bit ago, and I spent it at d'Orsay, and it was amazing. Also, the restaurant is really neat with the big clock, and a must experience. I got a piece of lasagna for under 15 eur

Cox has been doing this for years. I can't say I'm surprised. What recourse do consumers actually have? Appealing to the FCC?

Kind of a different problem, but I've had really good experience with using Hashicorp's vault, which is excellent, paired with the vault-secrets-operator for kubernetes to do my secrets management. It will sync secrets from a vau

I feel like FOMO is one other way to waste your career. The article talks about how they missed out on Uber's hyper-growth phase, but really, that's 20/20 vision after the fact. What if Uber went down instead? You never kn

I'm reminded of the Simpson's lunch lady: "There's very little meat in these gym mats" as she's grinding them into meatloaf. I'm more concerned now since who knows with the virus what the right way of poss

I feel the worst about mattresses getting returned. I'm tempted to buy a new bed (it's just that time), but not being able to try them out, I'd feel bad returning one if I didn't like it. Those things are huge and hard

Please no, nothing is more frustrating and distracting to try to get my virtual assistant to fix something they've misunderstood. That's about as fun as arguing with your passenger about directions while driving.

> Still, wily narcissists can sometimes evade detection until they’ve been in place for a while. Using 360-degree evaluations from a wide range of employees can help surface self-absorbed leaders, Chatman notes. I honestly doubt this. T

As someone who came from industry and now works with mostly academics at a scientific non-profit, I feel this. Especially the parts about publishing - there are so many people who are so obsessed by publishing, and most honestly don't

I have done one letter typo fixes to doc repos as a 3rd party and felt great about them. One of them was actually a typo in a command line that I found by going through their instructions step by step copying and pasting each line. I was

First off, I hate ads, and I think hardware shouldn't have ads in it. But on the other hand, the argument "I paid all this money and I still get ads" is honestly something I've been hearing about cable companies for deca

It's true, it doesn't compound forever, I think because eventually it is finished, and you don't want to add things to it. I think knowing when something is finished as opposed to adding yet another tool on a swiss-army knif

I don't think I'm a 100x developer or anything, but I think people underestimate the compounding interest of being a 5x-10x developer. If you architect things just right today, that can save you a lot of time tomorrow. Spending

I like to use the 5 why's method to think about this: Why is "every sprint we either fail to deliver the work we commit to, or deliver work that ultimately fails the QA process"? Is it you fail to deliver the work because of

Fantastic, thanks so much for the assist! Incredibly interesting, I love Saguaro (live in Tucson so they are everywhere). It's interesting these ones have mescaline in them too! The flowering looks a bit different though.

That's interesting, in the first picture there are some Saguaro cacti in the picture, and I didn't think those were outside of the Sonora desert! Or are those a different species that only looks alike?

I've always been fascinated with Egyptology. What really amazes me about this is the picture with the gorgeously painted sarcophagus! It's still stunning, in a picture, and from so long ago.

And 77% of conservative and strong conservatives don't want to share their views because they feel that they will offend someone. (from the article) Is that because those views are hard to say, argue, or back up with fact? If you thin

With all due reference to Shai-Hulud, I'd say broke has a lot of different possible meanings. It could mean you declared bankruptcy, have negative net worth, or maybe just like 99% gone (while you don't think it means that by def
