yeah this seems like a massively biased data-set.

1. limited to those that choose to tweet, and therefore 2. limited to the projection of personality onto a social media platform (which does not need to be genuine)

This was a great write up.

One thing that struck me as to the difficulty / young-ness of this field is also the fact that it is the only science that is us studying our thinking selves. It's almost like trying to draw a picture of the exact spot you are standing on.

Ah, ok. the text extraction is manageable enough, I will carve out a smaller subset so I can give your platform a go. The use case is professional services contract creation and redlining based on reference documents.

Wow this is really cool, congrats on the launch!

Does the platform also help speed up the labelling of semi-structured data? I have a use case where I need to take data in word, ppt, pdf; label paragraphs / sections which could then be used to fine tune a model

oh hey, big pharma touting a miracle drug to Solve Problems?! This time it's different I'm sure. It's like we are doomed to repeat the same awful cycles again and again instead of dealing with our cultural problem with consumption

All these frameworks and still Common Sense reigns supreme yet rarely applied.

This statement is a russian doll as in it potentially includes the customers using this product ;)

I've had a mixed experience with medical professionals and prevailing medical advice. Through my fathers stroke, my mothers heart attack, both of them being diagnosed with some form of diabetes and/or blood pressure just to be prescribed some meds that make it worse (looking at u metropolol) - time and again we have had to filter their advice through common sense and our own experience. Both my parents are managing their lifestyle and diets, and taking smaller or no doses of the meds the docs are prescribing them with glee it seems.

On nut allergies, we have a tradition in India where pregnant and breast feeding women are given every single type of nut over a period of time in a particular sequence. There is something called panjiri that is an amalgam of nuts and ghee, the idea being to provide sustenance to a pregnant mother and then after birth slowly introducing different nuts (and other foods) into the diet over a period of days/weeks. This stuff has been honed over a period of generations.

Nut allergies are fairly uncommon in India. This isn't some silver bullet thing, but just another piece of evidence not to just listen to medical professionals blindly.

Mostly F1tv app, and frankly ... various random streaming sites for motogp, soccer, cricket. Only really follow racing through the season other sports I'm just tuning in for semis/quarter/finals

Reasonable print for CPI

Nice conclusions but remarkably devoid of any useful advice

Whatever fun/mechanical thing I can muster the energy to do...clean something in the kitchen, clean something in the garage, sharpen a knife, replant a plant, go for a run, sit on the sofa staring out the window with my dog in my lap.

Off days are tough. The important thing is not to feel guilty about it.

Great article but I find the increasing instances of identifying someone as an 'Engineer' stereotype bizarre and alienating.

What is that? a degree? job? title? is there only 1 type of person who becomes an engineer? and if it can't be a degree because there are 5 million different types of 'engineers' and it is definitely not a homogeneous group.

Are they kidding...with sampling like this how can it be called a study? This is like a HS paper

"For Study 1: Adult Perceivers, a power analysis based on previous effects (5) indicated a desired sample size of 120 participants. We had 117 students (62% women, age range: 18 to 30 y, M 24.7, SD 2.1; participants were recruited by the online university panel...All had a similar demographic background...We discarded two data points (out of 1,872)"

This look pretty neat, wish there were some decent ebook readers for Android that can handle both pdf and ebpub....I was looking into moon reader but it requires an obnoxious breadth of permissions that seems very odd. Calibre is still my go-to on windows

With these types of convos you can go usually one of two ways:

1. Re-iterate your points, counter points, data, etc. 2. Acknowledge their point, assume it to be true and ask questions to clarify their point by digging further into the details

In my exp, method 1 generally does not lead to much. Method 2 will either give YOU a new perspective on things OR the other person will back off once they hit rock bottom and think twice before bringing up nonsensical points with you.

It is MUCH MUCH harder going down path 2 as it requires you to put YOUR point/perspective aside for a while and empathize with their view. But being able to cross-question people like this is an incredibly useful skill worth developing.

As an introvert, you are inherently more curious. Use that to your advantage.

Congrats it's an awesome thing to see your stuff out in the wild like that!

If you want to learn about scrum you are better off learning about XP which is a much superior engineering-centric methodology that Scrum takes heavy influence from.

Scrum can be useful as a way to get a team (and its leaders) going, build habits around releasing small batches/iterations of value but it is not particularly scale-able and puts a ceiling on the performance of a team. For leadership its a good way to get them to start loosening the reigns by having the right conversations.

The board part of Kanban is just one basic component. What gets skipped over are the EXPLICIT POLICIES that are refined over time i.e. what constitutes being in a column; the measurement of throughput (which is covered in the article); and a very high focus on continuous improvement (which includes the columns AND rows of the board, associated policies, and WIP limits)

Scrum gets a lot of hate because it's been commercialized and bastardized by people half-assedly doing it. It has a time and place. If you use a saw as a hammer you're not gonna have a good time.

Everyone's struggle with addiction is different. I'm glad this person found a good way for them and I'm sure it might help others as well. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't always work for you, maybe you just need to try a different approach.

These look like lil tiny Meeseeks

been in love with violin plots

you don't need a lot of the overhead in team-focused working models. As suggested already, paper based lists work well. Only you need to know what needs to be done, and you are generally focused on only a handful of things at a time.

Pomodoro has been another thing that works well for me to split up my time/keep getting things done while making sure I'm taking frequent breaks.

Yes looking for some inspiration! These are great examples, exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. thanks!

any idea on their tech stack? Crunchbase just lists "HTML5, jQuery, and Google Analytics" which is not very helpful

love tradingeconomics and use it almost daily. I particularly like the way data is organized by country and by "use case".

This is neat. Bit of a retro look but all info in 1 spot is kinda cool

ssrn/arxiv/etc. I try to look for paper review style papers so I can get up to speed on the "latest amalgamation of research"

I have 1 list of things to do. It is all on paper. When they are done they get struck out. That's it.

Simple, effective.

Sloths are pretty rad.

But given their lack of thermal regulation, I wonder if this leaves them especially vulnerable to climate change.

This is a super cool project (first time I'm hearing about it), great work to everyone involved!

Is the intent to have multiple tribler-like instances serving different (content) domains or more of a one-spot search that content providers can serve their content through? I ask as I'm wondering about how you foresee this "degrading" as it scales as that is where most current content platforms fail apart as they try to grow/maximize audience.
