A transferrable principle from acting. Memorizing LC solutions is attempting to "stockpile." Instead, we should be learning the main principles, and then reacting to technical interview problems from there, rather than trying to r

Mediocre actors stockpile material. Good actors react from first principles.

Only after shifting from a goal-oriented mindset to a process-oriented mindset; I now just love improving my intuitive structural thinking ability, and LC is for nothing more than that.

I've recently been thinking about this a lot. The single highest-leverage action I've found for myself has been to shift my goal from: A. (destination) I need to get a top-tier job at a FAANG company. to B. (process) I want to dev

Great. What's the real-world equivalent of doing 90% of your browser searches in an incognito window?

Global warming is the same issue. We don't seem to realize that the economy kinda sorta depends entirely on the environment, just like the economy kinda sorta depends entirely on public health.

When you're made aware of the tracking, why would anyone willingly choose it? It's a sad state of the internet when you're doing 90% of your Google searches in an incognito window.

Very curious about your all-meat diet in general, if you'd care to share. It's basically an elimination/mono diet. What staples do you rely on, what supplements do you need, how has it been for you, etc.?

"high" intake probably depends on your individual ability to metabolize caffeine, which is different per person. Some people can drink it right before bed, others can't sleep if they had more than 2 cups that day, etc.

Interesting. Guessing this has to do with humming (or generally, vibration) increasing endogenous nitric oxide production ~15x [0]. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, which could mitigate sleep apnea caused by a deviated septum. 0: https:&#x2F

Incidentally, I think this is the real harm of social media. I really believe our collective attention span is being decreased by infinite-scrolling feeds of content that demands nothing of the user other than clicking a little heart icon.

Which would also apply to any news outlet with a moderated comment section, including Fox News, no?

They didn't even "call him out". They added a link to more information on voting to two tweets. That's how fragile and insecure this guy is.

Commercial real estate is going to be really interesting to watch. For a lot of mid-size companies, the building lease is 15% of your total operating expenses.

I've always felt that anyone who says "I don't care, I have nothing to hide," was committing to the position that privacy is not intrinsically valuable in itself, and thus should have no problem agreeing to install a web

Certain viruses (herpetic) proliferate in an environment high in arginine, and low in lysine. High lysine/low arginine = suppression of replication.

The issue is the "generally considered harmful." High-fat low-carb diets tend to improve triglyceride profiles. Dietary cholesterol is not the same thing as blood cholesterol levels. Anecdotally, my father and I discovered separat

Had a doctor tell me ketosis was very dangerous (she was confusing it with ketoacidosis). I couldn't help but completely stop listening to her after that.

Ketosis is a normal supplemental metabolic state that the body enters in between meals to various degrees. There's no hard black/white macro requirement.

Capitalism is supposed to result in the highest good for the greatest number. In practice it's often more like "the cheapest, lowest quality we can get away with providing before you take your business elsewhere."

Isn't it the case that each gene does not have a single function? This seems like we're tampering with a many-variable equation for each gene we modify. It's like modifying a function when you're not aware that that func

When I see my doctor, there's an understanding between us. We both know that professionals like software engineers and doctors look up the answers constantly. I don't expect him to know everything, nor is that even possible. I do
