Sleeping more than usual on the weekends is usually a sign of sleep deprivation, though it often doesn't feel like it. I used to feel like I was doing alright on ~6 hours but I often slept 8-10 on weekends. Since then I've started to wake u

What would happen if driving drunk became legal? Nothing? That seem extremely counterintuitive.

That's just one of many essays in the book. I would hardly call the book as a whole populistic - if anything it's contrarian. Also, the linked blog post didn't strike me as very convincing. The points that were potentially valid ("Start wit

You seem to be missing the 10% or so chance that Facebook is obsolete in 5 years time.

Saying correlation is not causation without adding anything else amounts to nothing, it's just a phrase. From HN user apl, because he said it better than I could: This certainly is a true and tested adage, but I've got a feeling that the c

While I agree in principle this example is bad - chances for someone to be on HN or any other techno-startup site are _much_ bigger.

Slick. Two suggestions: 1) On Android, remove the delete confirmation. Undo bar would be better than pressing that ugly OK button. 2) Keep it at Today/Tomorrow only. It's a great anti-feature.

Anyone who've used web.py and Bottle (for a real project) and care to comment on the pros/cons of both? I'm quite familiar with web.py but not so much with Bottle.

Except that it doesn't: His point with the example lies in the difference between going straight at it and risking ones life verus figuring out a safer alternative. If it was just about energy, both methods would be deemed just as valid, an

This is a poorly written article/rant. Basically its only real point is that Google should've gone for "hot chicks with pics" rather than "techy geeks" since that's how one builds social networks (or rather, that's what Facebook did and erg

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? You seem to be awfully hostile for little reason, hence downvotes. Repeating "I won't be using your service" is hardly constructive for anyone. Also I don't see why you wouldn't use

I agree about Google, but I don't think Facebook is even remotely in the same class. For all I know it could be gone in a couple of years. Apple and Amazon seem like two much more likely candidates, along with Google.

Extrinsic motivation is a tricky one; rationalization is easy: "I will make up for the 100$ if I'm well rested, so I better snooze some more!". What about a guillotine above your head? That should be enough.

I fully agree. Ask the leading scientist a couple of hundred years ago what they thought of going to moon. They too could've demonstrated how preposterous the proposition is by imagining all kinds of sci-fi energy sources and it would stil
