I do but my headaches then was due to the cabin pressure + air conditioning I believe. I was drinking coffee on the plane too so..

Interesting, didnt know why I felt like shit on a 380 after a 12h flight. Had a terrible headache and a sore throat. Is sitting at the first floor even worse? It was also very cold but not sure if related. Boeing felt a bit different (better) over the same distance but I thought it was just me

In Bucharest one can rent a 50sqm flat for about 400E per month (all expenses paid) in a decent neighbourhood. Prices have been steady since 2009. I shared a couple of bigger/smaller flats with 1 or 2 friends throughout college but now I live alone since I work from home (quite boring though). Usually people rent in groups in their early 20s mostly due to financial issues but afterwards they prefer to get a 30y mortage to buy their property since the cost is arguably the same and most see rent as wasted money (not necessarily true though, mortage definitely has its downsides)

Been working from home for the past 3 years and I've managed to pull this off with sports. It's unbelievable how tired I feel every evening when I "stop", go play football for 2 hours (somehow the feeling is just in my head, physically I'm pretty energized) and when I get back I'm actually in the mood for working again, feeling even better than in the mornings.

Sports in general are really effective against stress, it's hard to think of something else at all when engaged in the exercise. Make that a hobby and it's a long term recipe for a great career.

Well, WebRTC is indeed a way, but it's very far from a standard - Chrome and FF supporting it only - and has some issues. It's difficult to do multi-casting with it and eats up a ton of CPU resources. If it were scaleable and usable one of these multi-million dollar businesses would adopt it by now don't you think? I haven't seen anyone pick it up.

+1 for this. Another example would be live streaming. yy.com comes to my mind right now, it's fully flash and used by millions of users. gaming.youtube.com does Flash too on Firefox, not to mention all of the adult streaming sites. Funny how everyone is asking for Flash to just disapear, if it had never been around we'd all be screaming for a plugin that makes all the above possible.

Exactly. Much of the live streaming on the web defaults to flash, the alternatives (hls, rtsp, webrtc) are all underperforming.

True, it's the 20% that makes him better than players like let's say Cesc Fabregas (same football academy) who is a top-level player but kind of lacks the magic. Also note that there is a thin layer between a very good player and a great one, sometimes measured in miliseconds and centimeters but the output is fantastic! :)

I think around 80% it is due to a lifetime of hard work in a perfect environment (FC Barcelona's Academy) surrounded by the best people in the game. The other 20% may come from his psychological abilities, being able to reach very high levels of concentration at peak moments. Notice that he is not a very active and working player throughout the whole match, instead he shines through certain moments.

Some people also related this to the Asperger's Syndrome. http://www.reddit.com/r/aspergers/comments/1m17yp/alltime_gr...
