Yep - most nurses miss this
md2be··on A fitness watch that measures blood pressure
Blood pressure measurements are a challenge - readings are a function of body postion / arm position.
md2be··on America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
Vegan Mac Cheese sauce is perhaps the simplistic thing to make - soak cashews overnight in fridge, drain water, add fresh water, blends, add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, garlic, and a lemon. Heat and serve.
md2be··on America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
Yep - Walmart the largest buyer of milk now owns their own farms and uses milk as a loss leader. Dean Foods former CEO was an alleged crook. Their packaging and advertising looks like it came out of the 1970s. Here we are in the Keto / Intermittent fasting era - and they failed to provide a cream. These folks gave up long ago. Expect a nice bounce back.
md2be··on Show HN: Time Door – A time series analysis API
Took a quick read. It’s not clear how the time series model (e.g., ARIMA) is selected.
md2be··on The link between middle-wage jobs, wage inequality, and worker welfare
The oldest millennial is now 38. This group - now the largest as a percentage - will see wage growth year over year for the next 15 years for three reasons 1) their skills improve year after year 2) employers will have a harder time replacing them - and will pay them not to leave 3) productivity is about to accelerate after a decade of flat productivity.

md2be··on Solar and Wind Power So Cheap They’re Outgrowing Subsidies
Yep. With California’s for all its environmentally table pounding, I still can’t get from LA to Palm Springs by train.
md2be··on Solar and Wind Power So Cheap They’re Outgrowing Subsidies
That like saying that the porn industry is being subsidized for the costs of divorce
md2be··on Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft workers have all pledged to strike on 9/20
Number of people who strike will be larger than the number of customers who care
md2be··on Yield Curves Invert in U.S., U.K
Sorry; but you are spewing misinformation on the equity market. But thanks, because bull markets need a wall or worry to climb.
md2be··on Yield Curves Invert in U.S., U.K
There is a bubble, it’s in the bond market. It’s has all the phases of a bible, including irrational exuberance.
md2be··on Yield Curves Invert in U.S., U.K
There is no Evidence that the 10/3 month is more reliable.
md2be··on Should lawyers learn to code? Arguments for and against
Tax law is a lot like coding, the answers are there if you know where to look. Generally, look to regulations for definitions, publications for working examples, and case law for ambiguities and ombudsman/case for unanswered questions.

In your case, the exercise date is the date of issue

md2be··on Unlicensed “health coach” claims health advice is free speech–court disagrees
Exactly
md2be··on Unlicensed “health coach” claims health advice is free speech–court disagrees
You are conflating the right to carry out a business with the right to free speech. There are many reasons for licensing a business - sufficient liability insurance - self dealing etc.
md2be··on Ask HN: Who is seeking a cofounder?
You are spot on with this concept. I’ve spoke to a few people in the midsize markets and yes this will work. Think marketplace - content sellers and content buyers (newsrooms). Seed the market by making it categorical, based on the size and shape of the regions.
md2be··on I rode all the e-scooters, and most of them are awful except two
The insane part is riding at 25 km/h without a sufficient breaking system, horn and or a license. Take a bus, walk or buy a motorcycle.
md2be··on I rode all the e-scooters, and most of them are awful except two
I like it - is there a way to block the antenna ?
md2be··on I rode all the e-scooters, and most of them are awful except two
In Los Angeles, Motorized vehicles are not permitted on sidewalks and paths. As a rider, you are liable for all personal injuries that result from your riding. Without insurance, you are putting your financial life in jeopardy. Think about it!
md2be··on With greater longevity, the quest to avoid infirmities of aging is more urgent
Depends on the body type and age and history. these movements are super hard on the spine. Try planks and step ups
md2be··on Trying to succeed as an entrepreneur for 10 years. Should I quit? Anyone else?
You’ve given up a lot of future income - a lot. Do a FV calculation on 150-200k a year in your 20s (working 10 years and compounding 30) over 40 years. Work the next 10 years and then go back to being an entrepreneur.
md2be··on Were You Laid Off by Tesla? So Was I
There are many many options to assure yourself of Job security. If that is important to you, working for a highly leveraged company with a ceo who has a history of acting impulsively should be avoided.
md2be··on Were You Laid Off by Tesla? So Was I
Something strange about your comments? You worked there for a year, not 30 years. How much of a a conversation with 225 people in a year’s time could you have possibly had? How much could you have possibly accomplished? If you did as well as you claimed, I seriously doubt you would have been let go.
md2be··on What Minimum-Wage Foes Got Wrong About Seattle
What are you using? Between the demise of CNBC and Bloomberg, I’m getting to the point of tuning out of most business coverage.

I’m glad that there are Morons like you in the worls to help skew down average intelligence.
md2be··on Time Series Prediction Using LSTM Deep Neural Networks
Time series analysis requires the data to be stationary.
md2be··on Time Series Prediction Using LSTM Deep Neural Networks
No doubt that club of statistical significance held back many statisticians.
md2be··on Time Series Prediction Using LSTM Deep Neural Networks
I agree with your sentiments, but there is a contribution that the CS departments made that the statistics, math, Econ (as in econometrics departments) seemed to have overlooked. I remember going to each of these departments in 2002 and asking them why don’t we split the data sets to train and update the coefficients and automate the process. The answer was always the same “that’s trivial and adds nothing to the field”.
