I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding of what insulation is supposed to achieve. If your home is meaningfully affected by the outdoor temperature it is very much not "well insulated".

Being a CEO is already the ultimate answer to the question "Do you care about money or morals". There is a reason that psychopaths are massively overrepresented as CEOs. My answer would be to check their technical background to se

This article misses that there is a business case for bad decisions. Sometimes there is no other choice than making a design shortcut, doing things that don't scale, overcomplicating or overabstracting. There is no sense criticising

Careful because mediation can easily become performative (even to oneself). I've noticed this in some of my highly conscientious colleagues. Maybe it's "grindset" ideaology, but capturing the "point" of meditat

It is expensive because it pays for itself through fares, as I understand it this is quite rare at a global level, recovering the most of all of Europe, and much more than anywhere in NA.( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Haha, I certainly would describe him as thick.

I was fiercly loyal to a manager I had in the past - I now view him as a viscous (EDIT: viscious!!) psychopath. The upside is that the enormous pressure I was under was character building for me, and has helped me further my career once I w

London has some of the highest dev salaries in Europe. But, you'd be lucky to get close to a US SWE salary here. Not that those jobs don't exist (I have one), but definitely the US SWE salary experience is not representative of th

I think the assumption is that you need a high salary to do FIRE generally.

Dyson Sphere Program is a genuine work of art. The scale and beauty can be genuinely astonishing. I wish it was more approachable only so more people could experience it.

It is a very useful technique in robust statistics. I've personally used winsorzied mean in robust optimization.

This is not really about the social impact of Nitrous oxide use at all. The origin of the upset is based in the litering of the capsules used. The government doesn't care about the underlying issue (the reason for public annoyance or

People don't intuitively understand the difference between phase velocity and group velocity. Often you will see people speeding between stoplights, never to actually break away from the same "wave packet" that you are within

I guess it's not really an apt analogy. It's more like if a the challenge was to get from city A to city B in the fastest time by any means necessary. People would run it until the horse was domesticated, and then people would rid

I can't help but feel part of the meaning drops out of it when there are carve outs for tools. If an AI can do it instantly, it starts to feel like pointless busy work, isn't that why we become programmers in the first place? If y

Unfortunately there is no halfway with maths. Math is the language of logic, the purpose of mathematical formalism is to allow easy communication, not just naval gazing.

Convincing men at basically peak testosterone production to permanently impair their natural ability to produce it. It's awful. Not to mention the side effects of taking exogenous hormones e.g. damage to your liver...

So your priors are the we've got an omnipotent medical system? I really wish we did!

Yes definitely. Many things initially recommended to me were actively detrimental. There is no one size fits all treatment.

What do you suggest is done then? Given some people experience legitimate IBS, what quantity of false negatives (i.e. legitimate sufferers who are ignored by the medical system) are you willing to tolerate? Also - given medical developments

IBS is a syndrome (a grouping of symptoms), not a disease. It, by definition, has no clear cause or treatment. Also - it is pretty easy to prove you are experiencing these symptoms. The body is a pretty complex thing, it can be difficult to

I have IBS - diagnosed long before COVID. I've had COVID a few times now and I experience very mild cold symptoms, but I have an IBS flare up each time. I would say my flare ups have increased over the past three years, I assume now th

I'm convinced that procrastination is not the problem with social media - it is FOMO. In this regard social media are not all equal, there is a hierarchy. In this way hackernews as social media is nearly a misnomer, I am not being proj
