This is why I got an accountant who set up the aspects of my side-hustle business I'm too stupid^H^H^H^H^H^H lazy^H^H^H^H busy to sort out. Yes I could have done this all myself but could I have done it myself the correct way from th

yeah. not easy. 33 strokes per minute. set to 10 resistance on concept2. proper form. go for 30 minutes. I'm unconvinced this is an easy thing for an unfit individual. I'm fairly sure an unfit individual would only be capable of 2

CEOs should be experts in delegation otherwise they'll get bogged down in some thing they really shouldn't even be thinking about, let alone doing. Letting go should be a common response, "How do I systematize this?" sho

Side note: all this off-topic pedantry about octopi vs octopuses is an old discussion already resolved. It is clouding discussion about what the full implications of what it actually means to treat octopus (ha!) as sentient.

A twenty something wasting 5 hours is wasting future benefits of using that. The opportunity cost is horrendous. Multiples of any later hourly rate because of how early its wasted. Addiction is often poor social connections and relationship

I like this. I'd like similar for pizza as well. The real joke is the fact that most Italians look at US coffee with a sense of either vague or specific disappointment. Does not matter what fancy name you come up with. On the other han

I can see the benefits of this collection of tools within an all-in-one monolith. Ease of deployment is a big benefit. I can also see the costs. As a stack its probably better in some ways than how a lot of other businesses operate as well

Hmmm. I'm not keen on giving my DNA profile to China. This seems like an unwise thing to do. from Newsweek: "China is also getting the DNA of Americans by buying American companies. China's BGI Group may now have the largest

The monitor I had wasn't capable of 1024x768. I got that custom resolution using a manually defined modeline determined through experimentation. It wasn't a simple VESA style display setting like the later 15" monitor I got.

CDE? That's an acronym I haven't heard in a long time. Still being developed? Very nice. Brings back happy memories of running oddball screen resolutions on X Window. 1000x800 I think. Definitely not 1024. Monitor couldn't do

Alternate cause of SkyNet: a distributed horde of unicode renderers become self-aware. Emojis become command and control codes.

Give it a few years and unicode will probably be turing-complete. For reasons... likely not good ones though.

Not unprofessional at all to leave this kind of madness the moment you find something better or, if things are really bad and you can afford it, tomorrow. If there was cost cutting and layoffs, how loyal would they be to you? Plus, right no

Sometimes I feel like Microsoft should just put Windows into an image all by itself. One big file (VHD or similar). Then each application gets its own separate image file. After all that, have some kind of funky image mounting thing that me

People seem to have this weird idea they are a head on some kind of separate body vehicle. Your head is an integral part of your body and is reliant on its systems and structures. Walking increases blood flow to the brain and the brain reli

I feel like there was a loaded gun next to the head of each of these projects. Plus, I don't think the projects were duds. They were instead simply buds - still too immature. Exactly how you execute an idea is often far more important

Looks like a great excuse to watch every Bond movie. For science. Well played.

Yeah, the downvote I got for this comment kind of proves my point. Which is why I rarely post or comment. This is not stopping me from using HN as such but there are plenty of posts I'd otherwise comment on. But what is the point if th

My point still stands: knowing that something doesn't work is useful. The post I was replying to was attempting to justify mocking. As if that is something worth doing. I've spoken to multiple scientists that are actively avoiding

The "downvote due to disagree" thing really annoys me. That and making the text become washed out. I hate it. Especially when I've seen excellent unpopular comments disappear because they were simply unpopular due to politics

Ah... you're very wrong. Ivermectin is worth exploring. Even if only to properly establish its limits. To assert otherwise is anti-science. I think you've inadvertently shown some kind of bias but I'm not exactly sure why or

I'm idly curious: does arxiv show who reviewed it? credentials etc? Is there a trust scoring mechanism or some such? is there some way to show a graph of reviewing? Is there a restriction on who can post a paper? (I'm not saying a

I'm having trouble with 30 or so repos. I shudder to think what 500 or more is like. Search every time? kind of not good. Maybe there is a place for an "index" repo that holds a set of github pages that acts as an index into

Not to put too fine a point on it: an idiot. As per the definition: a foolish or stupid person. Imagine if you will, a society that didn't want to go extinct. A society that had discovered that birth rates were falling and that paterni
