   If you're new to HPMOR, don't read this. Instead, go to http://hpmor.com/chapter/1 and scroll down to "Every inch of wall space is covered by a bookcase."

   It seems like http://www.buzzfeed.com/ideas does a pretty good job of it too (I'm new to the site but was inspired by the "easy tip" above to search out some good content)

   I had the same problem, and Soylent told me this: I think you might be having a reaction to the high soluble fiber content of Soylent. The best thing you can do is restrict yourself to 12 oz (which you drink slowly, sipping every few minute

    Sure. And that person would benefit from working at the top tier startup before starting his own.

    I think it has something to do with the idea that 3% of YC applicants have a 100% chance of getting an interview. If you follow PG's ethos perfectly maybe you choose to work at a great startup that is going to succeed and then you star

    Good problem to have. "In 1894, the Times of London estimated that by 1950 every street in the city would be buried nine feet deep in horse manure. One New York prognosticator of the 1890s concluded that by 1930 the horse droppings wou

    Alcor is a non-profit, and they're not implying anything other than the truth, which is that you're unlikely to get unfrozen, but it'd be cool if somehow you could be and maybe one day someone will figure it out. And this is

    Not sure what you mean. It's not pseudoscience or shady. Still, that's the problem! It's probably physically possible, but we're not making much scientific progress towards making it happen. When I mention cryonics peopl

    I'm an Alcor member, and I don't really get how it's not a bigger operation yet. This place has people like Hal Finney and Ray Kurzweil as members and is the preeminent option in the field, but it feels like a tiny mom and po

    The weird thing it seems they just started doing is displaying places it thinks you've been recently, along with all your past check-ins. It's not particularly accurate either.

    I love your message here, though it's amusing that you recommend buying something as the cure to buying too much. Another interesting data point to support taking some time off is the increased security of students who have taken &quot

    Yesterday Evernote deleted a note I'd made. Just totally gone, randomly. Eventually found it with Macroplant iExplorer. Anyone else been having problems like this? Or know why it happens?

    She never makes a clear, logical case for writing. But forget about writing in particular. She never makes a clear case for the humanities at all. She just says they're really really important.
