I'm not finding the article I want to reference, but this[0] is along the similar lines. In short, research is starting to find similar adaptations to short, high intensity training as long endurance training, including increased VO2 m

I agree. I recently started Wendler's 5-3-1 Triumvirate program[0]. It pairs one strength lift with two volume lifts. I really like making progress in both simultaneously. It takes a little more time (45 mins-1 hour, 4 days/week)

I've found strength to be extremely useful in golf. Before I made a concerted effort to get stronger, I could hit a drive in the 275 yard range if I swung hard and got lucky with it not slicing too badly. Now I can take a more measured

The title is a little misleading. Claims about fish oil and its potential decrease of cardiovascular events in high-risk populations is not supported by research. The article does not address other potentially beneficial effects, such as de

I think you're missing the point of the article. What he's getting at is that timezone rules change, so the function to go from local to UTC when you save the meeting is not the same as the function to go from UTC back to local at

This isn't just simple price-setting. It's advertising a very different price than the actual valuation, mostly because of the downside protection.

It's too bad. Balanced was the only service of it's kind to provide ACH payments. Hopefully Stripe or Braintree will pick up this feature.

I think it is brewed in Golden (they do most of their beers for the US there). As I mentioned elsewhere, the tour is well worth it. Ask about AC Golden and try Colorado Native and Batch 19.

Definitely do the tour. I walked away from it with a respect for Coors. They have some great environmental practices, they run AC Golden pretty much independently, which produces some awesome microbrews, and they've kept at least some

You might be right on point 1, but it doesn't offer an alternative. If you state that you take mediocre developers, better developers won't want to work there either. Point 2 is also sort of moot; if people can make it on their ow

It doesn't draw the connection directly, but part of the training program deals with technical interviews and getting the fellows more practice, and hopefully more comfort, with them. My guess is that once people have been through some

Propensity and pre-determination are very different things. The whole point of the article is that someone who makes fitness a priority and exercises regularly has better health and fitness indicators than someone who doesn't, all else

Maybe not GitHub, but likely you still use Git in a centralized model. Yes, it is technically distributed, and I know that people use it in a truly distributed manner, but if you're cutting builds or working with a sufficiently large t

I didn't rely on it. I tried it out to see how well it would work. When I first signed up, they wait-listed me. Then, a few hours later they let me (and apparently everyone else) in. They didn't need to do that, but they did.

Like I've said elsewhere, it's not the MVP-nature or the beta that's really the problem. It's that they want to start a service that charges 25% more in exchange for selecting which service to use, with a significantly w

Griffin is a family name. I've looked into it and that particular representation of a griffin predates Reed's use of it.

First, they had an invite wall when I signed up. I was ~4000th in line, but they let me in anyway. This was their first mistake. The bigger problem is that their service is just a simple middle man. They don't provide delivery services

by tghw 12y ago
I love that bit. But in this case, waiting an hour and a half for a middle man to do what it would have taken me 2 minutes to do wasn't worth the extra $9 they were asking for.

The story is about a very disappointing first user experience and how it led me to never want to use the service again. The burrito is just a side plot.

I think this sentiment comes from the notion that employers should be the basis of the social safety net, which I find odd. Employers will never fully serve this role. It's relying on organizations (corporations usually) to make the tr

Maybe not, but a slightly different architecture (e.g. Dropbox) would allow someone to have the cloud service but also back up the files via a second service, thereby diversifying between different services to reduce the changes of a comple

The difference is $7/person. If the tool saves them 10 minutes over the course of a month, it's paid for itself. It's more like paying a construction worker $100 an hour and then giving him a hammer that costs $5 instead of $

by tghw 12y ago
What do you pay 10 people in a month? Probably somewhere between $60,000 and $100,000? Is the $90 vs $20 really that big of a difference? Especially if it's a good tool that helps your team be slightly more productive. I'm not say

I don't believe that study is well controlled. In fact, some of the claims are either contradictory or just don't make sense. A 2009 study sponsored by the US Department of Labor, which analysed about 50 studies on the gender pay

I've given up on the social nicety of not discussing pay, especially at my previous employer, but generally as well. I usually lead in with something like "I tend to ask the rude question, and don't answer if you don't w
