As far as I understand there is couple of ways cancers are linked to insulin. Not necessarily insulin resistance but think in terms of things that cause insulin resistance also help cancer grow. For me the most compelling connection is that

Measurements are useful but stop this BS that whatever you do doesn't matter if you can't measure it. There is a lot of things we can't measure that are worth doing. Like maybe improving your relationship with your wife and k

I am currently "researching", learning all this stuff. So I guess take it with lots of caution? Since you asked, this is headlines of most of what I figured out: * Your main goals should be achieving metabolic flexibility, elimina

It is truly tiring to see all these "linked" articles. It might be interesting but without some more research it is useless and just messes up with 99.9% of population who will read it and wrongly assume sexual activity prevents c

Of course they are. People cannot be made to operate machinery safely. Just remember that half of people have below average intelligence... The only way we will travel safely is if ALL cars are operated automatically. AIs really only have

It would be nice to find some newspaper articles from around the time cars were first starting to show on roads to keep things in perspective...

Rule #1 is the contract is there to make both sides of the contract happy that their interests are taken care of. If you don't feel your interests are taken care of, don't sign the contract. If you don't feel the other party

There will always be people incapable of doing simple things. Google your problem and follow instructions. Can't be helped. Not a reason to stop progress (most of the time).

So to summarise, you require me to see your brilliance immediately with no work on your part and if I can't it is my shortcoming. This is smack in the middle of what I call a toxic, self absorbed and entitled personality. Good luck in

Successful person is one that is able to achieve their goals that they deem worthy. That's it. If you set out on doing something you would be proud of if you did and then achieve it, you are successful.

by twawaaay 4y ago
That's fine. Some people don't want to put any effort getting a job or are not willing to show if they know how to program. I respect your position. But understand, you are making it tough for me to know if you are good developer

That's not exactly true. I use coding tests to observe whether the candidate understands what they are doing and have organised approach to the problem or they just throw stuff at the wall, recompile the code and see if it works. You c

That's a good point. The fact is, if you are working for a corporation your salary is mostly dependant on your position and not on your output. Peoples outputs can be orders of magnitude different and they will still be earning roughly

To be sure, most people who got successful don't really understand how they got there. Most of the time they think they do but then what really happens is they are rationalising and/or using circular logic. Don't get me wro

The question is whether 18k people fired from a company that employs 1.5M people is newsworthy. Assuming no discrimination here, I believe it is not and the constant talk of it is just a clickbait and trying to find news where there aren&#x

Numbers need to be understood in context, otherwise our primate brains distort the truth behind with a bunch of biases we have wired into them. The company has around 1.5M employees. It fires 18k people. This is 1.2% of the headcount. Many
