Intense, short loads, with long recovery breaks in between build muscles and strengthen tendons. That's lifting weights at the gym. Writing and typing is continuous, repetitive strain with no recovery. That's the killer.

One thing will happen. If you do a web search for Buu Nguyen, this cesspit will come up. I think Buu Nguyen just made himself unhireable for life, at least by any organization which values IP. That's probably a much worse outcome for B

There actually isn't more flu than Covid. This year, so far, flu is quite exceptionally rare. The social distancing measures for Covid work for flu too. Australia is down from 61,000 confirmed cases of flu last year, to just around a h

More fundamentally, NPVIC doesn't actually require an agreement or compact. States just need to pass a law which says: "If greater than [threshold] of states pass NPVIC-compliant laws, we will select electors based on popular vote

The Massachusetts proposal is less dumb than Maine's. It's for all elections except presidential. RCV is incompatible with the NPVIC, as well as with how the electoral college works in the interim. If Maine voted for a third-p

Curiously, Stanford excels at poor research methodology these days, with MIT a close second. It turns out that faculty positions are competitive enough at the elites that few make it in without cheating. There has been a steady decline in r

What we call search was dominated by Altavista before Google. It really didn't take much to break that dominance. Stable dominance is characterized by things like network effects or similar. Google, despite being willing to use anticom

I think search will be quick. There isn't much stickiness there. It will be a disruptive S-curve, as soon as an upstart starts gaining traction. Given how much of a cash cow that is for Google, I think when that happens, things will sp
