   One of the ways that science has demonstrated the ancient roots of serotonin is by giving octopuses MDMA[0], resulting in the normally wary creatures getting all cuddly. [0] https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06

   I did this a lot, too, until I started using fzf and mapped <Control-r> to fuzzy history search. It is really useful, you might like it!

   True, but my model of CO2 is that its damage is proportional to the area under the curve (quanity CO2 * time in atmosphere). So deferring that C02 release by 10 years is strictly a win, b/c you haven't incurred the climate effect

   That works to create an empty file if none exists, but if the file already exists then 'touch' simply updates its atime/mtime and doesn't alter the contents. This latter effect is actually the purpose of touch; the file

   Just added it to my ABP - thank you! Taboola & Outbrain are a plague on the internet. Plus, I still have belly fat.

    Interesting article - all of the referenced studies are about the real world, and the benefits of those interactions I definitely agree with - and yet the author leads with an anecdote about a tweet leading to a job. I'm less convinced

    TFA doesn't show die-off, though. The graph just shows "after 1300 hours at 85C, still producing at 86% output". The slope doesn't imply a drop right after (but of course who knows).

    Not quite - if you try to game the system by post dating your arrival time, and the disc is checked quickly enough, the enforcer will see the disc time is ahead of the current time = ticket.

    8% return on average is abnormally high. But, on the other hand - the chance of retaining even 1% of a startup that exits for >50M is very small. By the time of an exit, almost no engineers will have anywhere near that equity.

    GP is also tipping in cash, forcing instacart to pay the full boat and returning tip to its rightful place as additional (and untaxed!) income. Seems like a not-bad approach.

    I think that's just for the perspective, though? We'd have to be flying much, much lower to get the perspective shown in the image. The straight-overhead view is less CGI-y (still composed, but of multiple overhead strips): http
