> Serious question: Do you think this is a conscious choice made by those in the tech field? Why does the fact of it being a conscious choice matter? Institutional discrimination is in fact a thing.

Ironically, I need to stop doing my to-do list (ActiveInbox for me.) I've actually found it's become somewhat addictive. I think it's the unconscious feeling that I'm being productive and it actually keeps me from doing

So they "crushed" other hedge funds? They returned 15.2%(1). You know what, boring old VTSAX returned 12.6%(2). Given the risk involved, VTSAX was a much better play. Ugh, hedge funds are suuuuuuuch a rip off. (1) Don't know

The problem is that we're still very much in the dark regarding nutrition: "This formula contains what we know we need but not what we might need and don't know how to measure or quantify yet," said Ayoob, at Albert Eins

I wholeheartedly agree that a certain healthy naivete or unbridled idealism or whatever can lead to wonderful things. My point is that when you're dealing with something as serious as health, this idealism has to be tempered with some

So, next time you feel ill, I trust that, instead of going to a doctor, who went to med school 40 years ago and (in your world-view apparently) is only prescribing medications pushed on him by his pharmaceutical rep and only suggesting proc

It has to do with the hubris issue, for me. Typically with age comes the realization that, hey, maybe I don't have all the answers. If there are some hybristic 20-somethings "disrupting" and "hacking" the real estat

Serious question: Do they have any actual nutritionists working on the product yet or just a bunch of hybristic 20-somethings who think they can "hack" the nutrition space without any real education, cause, you know, "disrupt

This exact situation happened to me. If you are at such a distance from the founder that he doesn't care about your place in the company — namely you're not considered one of the "important people" — your problem is two-

In truth, I had the same reaction and I expect the downvoters are unacquainted with the associations to Nietzsche's concept of ubermench and its appropriation by the Nazi's as well as the phrase in the German national anthem &quot

This is a terrible way of looking at things, since your time horizon is far too short. If you had put your money in the market at the height and kept it in until now, you would have made money. On Oct 5, 2007, VTSAX was trading at 37.72. It

The tragic thing is that these lessons don't have to be "hard-won". I find it astonishing that a majority of even intelligent people don't do more basic research before making major decisions with something as important

The expense ratio of VTSAX is .05%. It's ludicrous at that price to do it yourself.

Sounds to me very much like the Active Inbox plugin, which I've been using for a couple of years and proselytize mercilessly. It's based on the GTD way of doing things.

Is this an arms length Jetbrains thing? If not, it seems awfully odd that its name is so close to Resharper and the parent company is called IntelliFactory, which is so close to IntelliJ. I guess there's nothing wrong with that. Just o
