Like most things, these diets are usually adopted because they make you feel good, on accident. Carnivore is great if you have allergies to food you’re unaware of. Keto generally works by making you eat less food. Paleo helps you cut out ga

Paleo != keto. Everyone in the paleo world loses their mind for sweet potatoes, it seems like it’s a core staple of the diet.

Taking full responsibility used to look like getting fired for poor planning. Now taking full responsibility means "I say in public that this is my fault" versus trying to push the blame off.

You should read Zeihan's book. One of the main premises is that the US allowed for international peace (known as Pax Americana) via enforcing peaceful international trade with a large navy. Zeihan's position is that this was lar

This is, to some extent, the same original line of thinking that spawned out things like Ethereum. A lot of people hate on crypto, but at its core I think it's a very hopeful and interesting idea.

Patreon seems to clean house roughly once a year. They cut some 30% of their staff and then continued to aggressively hire.

You think Meta's VR systems aren't promising? My read on the situation is that they are making incredible progress, and doing so at scale. They're already delivering good revenue growth on a product that no one would say is

Most of these are pretty spot on. The one thing I will note is that the staking rewards are not a constant 5%, they are a function of the network demand. Stakers are rewarded a portion of transactions, so the volume of demand per block will

For everyone saying no, this is exactly what Shopify, and arguably Wordpress are. These things have already disrupted tech development. I think the real question is how much complexity can they take on, and I think they’re largely near the

Awesome, thanks for the answers! I'd also love to hear an update on what trending on HN does for subscriptions, we've had some articles trend on here before and it's a pretty nice bump, but people were clicking primarily for

Since this topic is learning how to cook, let me plug my favorite Youtube chef, Alex (FrenchGuyCooking). He has a whole series on mother sauces ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLURsDaOr8hWX1T2WSXhPw... ), which is ho

4 hour take home tests are an immediate no from me. It’s cheaper for you, but you’re essentially asking to do my job unpaid. If it’s an hour long interview, you’re bought in and we’re both there. A take home test does not tell me in any way

Well this is just wrong. First off, there is no evidence that it will be impossible for medical science to eventually solve most aging related illness, and mitigate most diseases. There is no practical reason to assume that trying to incr

No schooling looks like study, do your homework, and behave? So any selection of topics to study is unacceptable by your criteria. We live in a society, we have to have some form of education. In order to give students an education, we ha

So your issues with this is merit in and of itself? Please explain a better system for outcomes than putting in the work and earning the outcome. What is the alternative? My point wasn't that merit based systems are inherently flawl

It's probably time to stop letting people in our society that are not building up systems terrorize the rest of us with scarcely hidden threats of slandering your name as a racist. There is nothing racist about having a merit based sy

Honestly, it feels inaccurate to call any modern programming language slow. Most are remarkably performant in the vast majority of cases. I’d be quick to yield that if your going for the bare minimum of latency, Python is likely not the rig

You could stake UST stablecoins for 20% APY. You could also get loans with UST collateral, and stablecoins are native to crypto. How do you move a dollar out of coinbase, into a wallet, bridge to another blockchain, and then stake it? Th

Does that stipulation that they write into the contract have teeth though? A lot of companies put a lot of stuff into contracts, it doesn't make it enforcable.

It's not a problem, he's just going to lie about ever having a second job and only report his first job. That's how this works, you have a primary job which is your "real job", and others which feed you more payche

Spot on. They said they're increasing the number of validators, but ultimately the biggest issue with how they implemented this was that they put so many multisig keys in the same spot. They could have 100,000 validators, if 50,001 m
