I’ve always thought of free will as something that happens in the past. Your “in the moment” response to anything will be based on your choices in the past. Those you have an opportunity to decide through overt habit and routine. Do you com

Nope. At most, I'll have 2-3 drinks on Saturday night.

I sometimes take CBD but it’s hard to tell if it helps. I’ve taken a THC tablet before and it does work but I wake up with a bit of a weed hangover. It’s also not something that I’d want to do daily. I’ll have to research TAC, never heard o

Have you ever tried Magtein? I stopped taking fish oil a while ago but worth adding back in. Why do you think Aleve is helping?

I do 35 minutes of heavy weight training and 40 minutes of cardio.

Never tried slow release. That’s not a bad idea.

Interesting how there’s a lot of sleep trouble on HN. Here’s mine, curious if anyone has thoughts. For over a year now I’ve been averaging around 5.9 hours of sleep. Usually I’m up at 5am and can’t fall back asleep. Compounding this, bad n

In what universe is an employee getting preferred? Or do you mean, be an investor instead of an employee?

That’s really cool. Appreciate you sharing.

I co-founded, and bootstrapped, a VR company [1] back in 2016. We launched three games, got some funding by HTC, but weren't able to raise venture. I keep meaning to do one of those "10 things I learned" sort of posts. [1] ht

The rise of NAFLD is pretty crazy. Took doctors by surprise about a decade ago. “What do you mean you don’t drink? Look at your liver!”

I didn’t realize this was a thing! I’m generally able to do this too, especially when meditating. It started after trying psychedelics in college, which probably ‘activated’ something in my brain that said “you can make the carpet swirl”. I

I built a forum around 2001 for people in the state of Maine who loved cars. I seeded it with friends, I put fliers on interesting cars I found around the state, hosted meet ups, etc. It took a ton of effort to get that fly wheel to spin, b

Can you talk more about that? What do the quant funds do with this data?

by theNJR 7y ago
That's the nature of large groups of people though. If the outlier opinions have merit, shouldn't there be a forum for their expression?

No, I was being serious. You have some fair points but I still think the ecosystem here is one of the most healthy.

The reason most the web has been neutered is why Hacker News is so great. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20032259

I love learning a phrase for the obscure preferences that my wife always makes fun of. Of course she also makes fun of my obscure phrases.

This seems to indicate a winner-takes-all hierarchy emerging within the sexual market place. As the data in this article shows, fewer men are having sex than women. That would indicate a group of men have multiple female partners while a la

I agree with that very much. It's hard not to think this is a byproduct of global corporate capitalism and all these other problems stem from that.

I actually think there is a big spin by certain housing developers to promote this as a housing issue.

Mental health / substance can cause homelessness. Homelessness can cause mental health / substance. It’s a shit cycle either way, but the one certainty is we are not addressing either in a meaningful way.

This is not as much a housing issue as it is a mental health and substance abuse issue. See https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-10-07/homeless...
