Growing in the 80s up on the rural olympic peninsula the power routinely went off for a couple of weeks after windstorms. Even still it will be off for a few days every year. There are just a lot of power lines and a lot of trees and they h

Grant funded non profit research is at least pretty predictable. You know you are on a 2-5 year grant and you can help apply for the next one.

I've been in more than a few hiring discussions. Grit when discussing a candidate usually just means they did a cool side project completely on their own and maybe even made some money out of it. Or they really took ownership of their

There are a fair number of papers (start with Dart/dropout, Bart (bayesian sampling of the whole gbm) but they start to look like global optimization problems and part of the reasons trees work so well is that the local greedy optimiza

Outdoor sports forums/guides is an interesting area from a startup perspective. Lots of segmented players with pretty clunky UI, issues with data ownership and founder exits that end up killing the sites. There was rac.climbing on usen

That only kind of helps ... and can lead to micromanagement. I've found a better approach is to focus on key metrics or KPIs and empower people to go after them without a heavy planing cycle. Like if your app is slow and buggy the OKR

I believe this is a problem with OKRs more then with remote work. It is too easy to game the OKR process by choosing easy but showy OKRs, doing the bare minimum and declaring victory. I've been remote for 10 years and before that worke

Great points especially about needing to actually cut trees. I've never been on a fire crew though friends and family members have been hot shots and tanker pilots. I missed the 40 acres part, thats ludicrous. I live about a mile from

I'm very intrigued by the potential for new wildfire tech but as someone who lives in wildfire land in Montana i have my doubts about this video... detecting putting out a campfire is a pretty idealized case. Most fires in our area see

Perl was the tool for the job at the time no doubt. But the streaming pattern still applies no matter what language you use and really should be emphasized. (I worked in bio as we were moving away from Perl)

I love this article but i've always thought it should be about how unix pipes and streaming text files saves the human genome project.

As a diabetic and former diabetes researcher, I’ve seen diabetes cured in mice a few times. It’s cool but too early to tell how significant. Stem cell treatment seems the most promising at the moment for a human cure.

I think this is pretty common at early stage YC companies. At least the one I started at did this until they needed to give us fancy titles to impress investors.

Total anecdotal evidence but it seems that in tech a lot of people are quitting/changing jobs or looking at it. It seems like big co's have tweaked their comp packages a bit to front load equity packages and avoid those crazy comp

Delivery I believe, it takes a while to get absorbed from where you inject it and spread around. You can speed this up by exercising the area it was injected into or even a hot shower to increase blood flow. There is also a new faster acti
