Funny. Animations on hover links. A big ad "Play Dirty" near the top. A big "Sign up for newsletter" box that will get me spammed. Then even more huge ads below to get me to click. Stop. The web is not broken. It's

I use a 2012 MacBook Pro 15". I bought a second hand as it was the last mac laptop with a nvidia card. Not the fastest but makes a difference for most machine learning calculations. It's got 16GB but it's not quite fast enoug

I started blogging a few months ago https://dailyhealthpoints.wordpress.com/ Each article requires me to read on average one science paper, and I spend also quite some time on editing. Now I have 300 subscribers but sadly i

I find coworking spaces can be worse, especially if you are the kind of outgoing person who's been to various tech meetups. Everyone wants to say hi and ask what are you working on, invite you for coffee, or ask random questions about

Maybe the conferences you are going are the tech startups conferences. The majority of developers are working in big banks and big consulting companies. They use PCs, java or .NET, Visual Studio.

When did $425m exit turn out to be a failure? I suppose the author built several multi billion dollar businesses? By any metric, Trello is a huge success.

I haven't followed up everything, but how is Google leading the AI race vs Facebook? I haven't seen a consumer service by Google run by AI. There's the hugely popular Tenserflow but it's for developers and Facebook also

Unless you smoke, heart attack or MI is highly unlikely before 40. I would review lifestyle choices though and make sure to have a complete medical checkup before 40

Keith smoked. Smoking increases your risk of heart attack or myocardial infarction, amongst others. There's been a lot of public awareness campaigns on the dangers of smoking and in 2017, I can't believe he wasn't aware of th

The solution is reliable public transport. The way i see it, Uber is half price because it is sustained by VC money and ever-decreasing pay for drivers. Taxis or Ubers are in theory your own private vehicle or limo. It should be special occ

Good article but in essence, it only works for freelancers, especially the 20 something kind who programs or designs and interacts with his customer through skype. Modern society has conventions that makes it work well. Like the expectation

Doesn't North Korea has ICBM missiles capable of reaching Italy or Washington DC? A missile full of VX agent is scary to me. The most North KOrea can fit on a missile is a warhead as powerful as Hiroshima's but a missile full of V

The women were expendable and I don't think they knew it was VX, or what VX was. It's most likely they trained with another substance, and were not even told who, where and when the final act would be done.

Who here is surprised? The CEO is a proud arrogant son of a b*tch, sexist, supports Trump. His whole team treats drivers like dirt or disposable "resources". The whole attitude then gets adopted by management. What I find surprisi

I'd say many expat europeans or americans in Asia (Shangai, south korea) don't make any effort in making close native friends. Many of them prefer to hang out with people from their own country, or other western people. Only a few

An alternative that works equally well is intermittent fasting. Every 3 months, you fast for 5 days. Make sure to drink plenty. If you can't fast for 3 days straight, you can also do a 2-days fast every month. See summary of studies:

It's interesting to see how the power and reach of every word on Twitter by politicians or journalists, yet Twitter is unable to profit from it. On the other hand, nobody cares about the power of a Facebook posting or an instagram, yet

I'm not sure it will work. Did the BBC even test the app? A few pregnant women might know about the app, but the rest of passenger in a bus or on a subway won't likely have it. Or they have it because they are pregnant.

I disagree. This is a bit like browsing open source repos on github and laughing because of bad algorithms, issues or quick fixes. There is indeed bad medical research. Typically, animal research that focuses on just one marker and then ext
