It seems that taxonomy is what you would like to learn only after the subject piqued your interest, in my experience, looking back at early school years. Prior to gaining interest, it felt like such a drudgery. After that, however, it’s like an map to navigate the subject matter. It becomes fun in itself, as you point out. I guess it’s a level of abstraction preferred by folks with expertise, but less so by beginners.

Have a listen to this episode: https://hubermanlab.com/the-science-of-vision-eye-health-and...

I shared it with one of our developers who was having eyesight issues and he found it helpful.

Things which help: - Exercise - Morning walks facing direction of light - Keeping screen eye level and posture - Other “protocols” mentioned in this episode

“Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.”

I love this about Slack. It puts me into a different mindset. I'm less defensive and therefore more creative, productive, and happy. Most other services put me on a constant lookout. How are they going to "get me"?

Here's one list: http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/credit-card-free...

Same here - I have 2 of these connected to Mac Book Pro. The experience is great on a Mac because you get a retina quality display. I'm considering getting the same for the office.

However, I've had resolution issues using them on a Windows 10 PC. It looks fine overall, until you run into a Java application where UI is a bit askew and text is 4 times smaller (I've seen issues with Weka and Solidworks). No such issues on a Mac though.

I think you might find this a good read on the subject of exercise. Just tweeted today by PG: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/04/how-neuroscientists-exp...

But maybe answers do exist! I'm using the word 'student' loosely here. While a college student is one example, there are plenty of other people who study outside of school or would study something if they knew why.

I know! Ironically, I can see myself procrastinating, getting lost in the site just exploring different topics and answers. A site which was supposed to motivate me to study in the first place!

Yes, a wiki would be ideal, if there was enough of the most interesting and relevant content already available. Actually, StackOverflow questions sometimes turn into a community wiki's when the question gains enough support.

My reasons for a Q&A are: (1) remove barriers from being able to contribute using any format at your disposal (maybe even a tweet?). (2) The site should allow the community to rank the most relevant and interesting answers - this can easily get lost in a long wiki page, (3) Not all answers are relevant nor interesting to everyone, given your education level, background, etc. The experience could be tailored to the visitor ..somehow. (4) Getting a bite-sized motivation while reading through a few short answers can be good enough for some people.

Although nowhere near to your situation, I lost important meeting notes after a conference call. After making some formatting modifications (cut/copy/paste) to organize the notes, I found myself not being able to restore any text by undo-ing some of the inadvertent changes I made. Having been burned by a feature so basic to document editing as Undo, my next steps were basically to export all of my business notes and stop using the service for any work related activities. If not for this incident, I would probably keep using it.

There's an interesting NPR Planet Money article on a related topic http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/06/05/319084976/why-a-pa...

It might be difficult to track the products which change labels as ingredients change.

Another interesting idea would be to see how product lines evolve. Watch as the product line is split into two or more lines to target different types of consumers (or merged for that matter), while at the same time keeping record of ingredients and other interesting info. Sounds fun!

We already use huboard. It would be nice if this transition from huboard to ZenHub was more seamless. For now, I'm told that I need to create another board and I'm not entirely sure how this will affect our huboard setup..
