   Cholesterol is not bad for you. You need it to live, that’s why your body makes it. Eating cholesterol has very little impact on the cholesterol levels in your body. Salt is also not bad for you.

   In rare situations forcing the answer, even forcing a no, can be helpful.

   I don’t know enough to make a declaration. But I do know that she was renting the downstairs (it was a 2 unit apartment) for the past decade to the same people. Once this is a ghost house, no one will live there, thus one rental off the mar

   My grandmother in law just sold her place in SF after living there since the 60s. 7 of 9 offers were from Chinese nationals looking to park their money. Full cash, no inspection, no contingency and of course never visited by the potential b

   How many others were sleeping on the train? If lots, how was that allowed to happen? If few, why not more?

   Similar but far less impact; I did the Community Emergency Response Training (CERT). It was a great experience. I met tons of locals, learned important skills, and learned a lot about myself and leadership. It was a handful of all day Satur

    When you are hustling to raise a seed round, you end up at some strange conferences. I was invited to speak at a VR conference last minute a few years back. It was a good opportunity so I flew out to SF (from LA) for the day. My company ha

    I really hate their store pick up because you have to find the same random employee to go fetch the item for you. What should be a 69 second in-and-our is at least ten minutes at the store near me.

    Los Angeles recently got the Citizen App. I was excited at first to be better informed. Then I realized... perhaps it's better I don't get a notification every time something happens within a 10 block radius. The world around me s

    Is anyone part of a Facebook group that they like? I've never seen a modern place online with better discourse than HN.

    Yes. Facebook says the future is private, and I agree. I just don't think they're the ones that will do it right.

    Facebook has been talking about this in the quarterly earnings for a while now. They've been very clear about it. Last winter I made a messenger bot[1] that was driving revenue ($5k/month for a CPG startup). Give that a try. [1] h

    I’ve been writing on my personal site [0] since 2006. Most of it is bad. The early goal was to rank first for my name on google. That worked until an actor with my same name emerged. A few of my articles have made it to the front page here

    No but that looks awesome. The VR game is based on a screenplay I wrote that is Blade Runner meets China Town. Water Knife looks like something I'd like. Adding to vacation reads list! Thanks!

    Influencer is such a stupid word, but we are all influenced by others. "Famous" people, commenters on Hacker News (I think I'm going to buy a cow after this [0]), and friends can all sway a purchase choice. [0] https:/&#

    This may be true to your feed, but it's not true to the industry. Every DTC brand, from ice cream to back massagers, is using influencers as part of their marketing mix. And while getting a sale on first view is great, that is rarely t

    I’ve got tons of pages written for a similar concept, only you pay for it. Just as filters were the utility that drove the users which created the network for early Instagram, I think data ownership can be the utility that drives users for

    Listen at 2x. Bam, 3 hours instead of 6. That’s a few commutes, work outs, or some other daily task that can be filled with audio. And it’s very easy listening.
