Yep unfortunately it's been clear to me that the FT is unable to keep up with the breakneck speed at which things are unfolding while social media is less accurate but much faster

Since progression in academia slowed due to limited number of professorships and the salary gap of academics to people in industry sky rocketed.

I walked past a giant trash bin in Singapore one night and there were literally 10+ rats shuffling around inside it and I could hear it shaking and banging. Singapore has no litter problem (but the heat and humidity probably makes the trash

In TFA, author uses a swimming analogy and it's alright but for me I find martial arts is the most relatable analogy and so many of Bruce Lee's thoughts are applicable... A lot of what you will learn in a degree is like doing your

I was a Chemist and the only thing I can say sadly is that it also took Chemists to come up with brominated vegetable oil sadly...

I'm actually relatively chilled about ads. I like to see who is advertising what from a macro POV but one thing online was super bad at was spamming ads at you. The most egregious was Crunchyroll back in the day where you might see the

Yeah, I got caught in one the other day because my gym uses YouTube for their music system. Have also woken up to an ad that was hours long. Not quite sure what the incentive is but maybe it works for some cases, sometimes I wonder if they&

tbf I'd guess that bikram also benefits from the heat stress element, like sauna. Which is basically "free" cardio. I'd also bet that it synergises well with yoga, as yoga is a decent mechanism for encouraging blood flow

yeah I always found it a little counter intuitive how eating bacteria would be good for my gut insofar as most the GI tract is meant to be major gauntlet for bacteria. But I get dodgy IBS-like issues eating spicy food but consuming fermente

it's impossible to know where and how an assumption will be built upon common intuition in existing science. What if the estimate for an LD50 for a new drug going into a trial were an order of magnitude out due to one of the underlyin

new to the team, I suppose. Everyone on the team has shipped a rails heroku PG app? Then you have a low number of shinies. Shipping a Vaticle + Haskell on nixOS in your own server farm? Maybe that's more new tools for the team...

How much "passive activity" were we doing back in the day? So as a teenager, I was carrying 5-10kg of books and walking back and forth between classes every 40 mins. As an undergrad I was travelling across campus multiple times a

Yeah to try to maybe draw an analogy, NaAscorbate vs Ascorbic Acid is a bit like CSV vs JSON encoding - you might be sending the exact same data but if the serialisation format isn't what the API expects, then you could get errors but

I currently live in Singapore and when I went back to the UK after almost a year, one of the things that was most jarring was all the graffiti everywhere. You become blind to it when you live there but when you suddenly realise places _dont

Depends really. Most businesses will assume some amount of shrinkage. If you fly beneath the radar eg only hit the station once a month or every other month. You might get away with it.

Ha it's fun to dunk on management consultants but I think the magic is they are like pop music producers. Somehow they're able to make the C suite hoover up LLM shovelware the same way top producers can take super obvious music an

Fair enough I don't really disagree with your overall point. Although there's taking the tube and then there's the Northern line where I've heard people going in the opposite direction to get upstream of the queues to ge

I fully appreciate where you're coming from and everything you've said is true. But I feel like your opinion may differ if you lived on the south end of the Northern line and had to commute during summer. Doubly so if you were sli

The Elizabeth line (Lizzie line??) is a bit of a quandary for me... Was so excited about it opening and I still get excited about riding it. Although the tunnels are already notably less pristine, so I'm glad to have seen them when the
