I had a CGM:

- oatmeal + blueberries: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + chia seeds: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + ground flax seed: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder: moderate glucose spike

- oatmeal + blueberries + protein powder + chia seeds: very minimal spike

In my case, it seems like carbs, proteins, and fats are all necessary to prevent a spike.

"The Machine Fired Me" is one good hook. I found the original post and its good: https://idiallo.com/blog/when-a-machine-fired-me

The meta analysis is inconclusive. I would not use that as evidence to back up the idea that you should avoid any UV exposure. I’d describe this as a complicated situation where reasonable people could disagree.

“”” What did we find?: Our findings are mixed. Exposure to sunlight has been reported both to increase and to decrease your risk of dying. Alongside its harmful effect on skin cancer, sunlight may help prevent other types of cancer. However, there were issues with the amount of data available, as well as the quality of some of the data that was available, so we can’t be certain about the findings. Currently, there is not strong enough evidence to alter sun exposure advice and so people should continue to follow the guidance. “””

I’m not the original poster but one thing I look at is recommendations from bodies in other countries that have more experience with the issue. During COVID I found countries that had experience with SARS had better guidance than the US.

Similarly Australia has more than 2x higher skin cancer risk. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends even people with dark skin wear sunscreen daily, even if they don’t go outside. Australia doesn’t recommend this noting the tradeoffs of having higher risk of vitamin D deficiency.

I live in NYC and for the majority of my trips the subway gets me there faster than a car would.

Sure you can find plenty of random places it would take longer for me to get to by train, but for places I actually want to get to, the subway is faster.

Do you have an issue with paying for electricity or water by use? Or to ride public transit that you pay for a ticket?

It seems like a good property that someone who uses something the most pays the most.

If something has positive externalities such as vaccines or education then I’m fine subsidizing or making it free, but traffic has negative externalities.

I looked it up and running slowly at a 12 minute per mile pace is about 8 METs, and vacuuming might be around 4 METs so that doesn’t seem to be true.

Also running tends to be more repetitive and pounding on the joints which requires more recovery time than simply vacuuming. I’ve never heard someone get injured vacuuming but I know dozens of people injured from running.

Luke, if you want to interactively run commands like “find” like you are used to, you can run: “docker exec -it my_container bash”

Though there are many reasons why you wouldn’t want to go in and delete a file since that won’t persist or be reproducible.

Another option is to do margin borrowing on some investment assets that you have. Because it is a secured loan the interest rates are much cheaper than credit cards. Schwab has a good set up, it can be configured to automatically do a loan if you withdraw more funds from your checking account than you have. They currently charge about 12% but there are other options around 6%.

My friend used this set up for his emergency fund since he felt like it would be better to earn an investment return and take a loan in an emergency instead of sitting around having your money earn minimal amounts in a checking account.

I would have just had the slider move in increments of $0.10 or $0.05.

If I was a user, I might be confused why the increment is not consistent across the whole range.

There are plenty of things I did outside when growing up that kids could still do: invent sports (we had one involving a hockey net and a koosh ball), bike around the neighborhood, have a water fight, go to the pool, play capture the flag, ghost in the graveyard, jump on a trampoline, go to the ride scooters, play basketball, play with sidewalk chalk, etc

That sounds useful. My company tends to work out of Slack, so having it interface that way would be cool.

Yeah I tried to watch the first demo video, but it wasn’t clear to me the problem that this solves and why this is better than some alternatives. It really needs a 60 second elevator pitch.

I don’t know how versions being coordinates in space helps me solve any of my problems.

Yeah, at least in this post the OP talks about the technical details, but if they are not explaining what the purpose of the product is, and why users would use it, I could see that getting rejected.

That's a really interesting metaphor. I worked with Dan years ago.

It seems like the talk was at CraftCon 15 and called "Beyond Features: rethinking agile software delivery with Dan North".

I couldn't find it, but I found a similar talk he gave at a meetup that discussed surgery: https://youtu.be/EoJFWdhv8q0?feature=shared&t=1564 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz5HBtDl-1A

What AI tuned for mentoring did you use?

Some feedback: on mobile the videos are cut off so it’s hard to see what the tool does.

I found the book “Never Eat Alone” to be what you are looking for. It has a whole section on how to be a conference commando.

I met a friend of a friend in a bar last week. He just ran the NYC marathon and some girl he barely knew but thought was cute liked his Instagram photo. He decided to shoot his shot, and asked her to drinks and she accepted.

There is a reason people “sliding into the DMs” is a term. It usually starts with liking posts and later moves into DMs. That same guy also showed me that he also slid into the DMs with some other woman and has another first date scheduled.

Social media is super important for the younger generation and their social life.

One metric of how bonds are susceptible to interest rate changes is duration [1].

My calculations show that for a 4 week to maturity T-bill, the duration is approximately 0.077, meaning that if interest rates go up by 1%, it loses 0.07%. So even if rates go up by 5% in a week, they only lose 0.35%.

The problem with SVB is they weren’t holding very short dated bonds. Pretty much every large company has to deal with interest rate risk but as long as they keep the average duration low it doesn’t tend to be an issue.

Somehow software engineers can be as dense as the MBA in the example.

I had a manager who used to be a dev. He remarked that a certain teammate is really productive and gets so much done. I asked how he knew and he said that when the teammate is on call he is able to close a large number of tickets.

I showed him that the teammate just closed all the tickets as “self resolved” or “can’t reproduce”.

How old are you? What is your highest level of education? What were your grades like? What’s your job?

What impact does the “in-ability to think” have on your life?

I once told my doctor that I thought I had a bad memory. He asked what grades I was getting and when I said A’s, he said don’t worry about it, you are fine. If you are considering reading Ulysses, a notably challenging book, I think you probably have an above average ability to think.

What did the neurologist say exactly? I don’t think inability to think is a medical diagnosis.

Are any students coming up with a process to prove their innocents when they get falsely accused?

If I was still in school I would write my docs in a Google Doc which provides the edit history. I could potentially also record video of me typing the entire document as well or screen recording my screen.

People are listed as authors if they advised or contributed to the papers of their grad students or other people in their lab.

Surprisingly you can test this with a randomized field test:

> The Illinois D.A.R.E. Evaluation was conducted as a randomized field experiment with one pretest and multiple planned post-tests. The researchers identified 18 pairs of elementary schools, representative of urban, suburban, and rural areas throughout northern and central Illinois. Schools were matched in each pair by type, ethnic composition, number of students with limited English proficiency, and the percent of students from low income families. None of these schools had previously received D.A.R.E.. For the 12 pairs of schools located in urban and suburban areas, one school in each pair was randomly assigned to receive D.A.R.E. in the spring of 1990

Yes, surveys do have flaws but they are a better approach than just giving up and saying any research is impossible.

I’d recommend we don’t simply stop trying, instead we test different programs, and only once we have shown their effectiveness do we role them out further.

What law would this be breaking?

Why is accessing your own banking data through a standard against what GDPR stands for? GDPR has a right to data portability.

I wish they would be more clear about how bad drinking is otherwise everyone tends to see it the same.

A friend of mine wouldn’t eat non-organic blueberries because he heard they suck up tons of pesticides so ate more eggs and sausage instead for breakfast.

Is the magnitude of health benefit of going from 2 drinks a day to 1 drink a day equivalent to or 1/20th the benefit of an average American walking an additional 20 minutes per day?

I don’t have the source with me now but I read that in my example above, it would save about 650 lives a year compared to 175k+ due to overall alcohol use.

What type of difference did you notice? I switched from a stock Bontrager tires to Continental Grand Prix which are supposed to be high end and didn’t really notice too much of a difference.

I’m curious about this as I have loved ones with T2D.

What makes this work groundbreaking? It seems like one doctor talked about how at his practice he started telling people to go low carb and noticed they were improving.

But his data doesn’t compare the 27% of his patients who opted in to the low carb diet to those who chose another option.

The low carb diet has been around for a while? Has there not been a RCT looking at how it works for treating diabetes?

He makes an argument on why RCTs aren’t so good that is unconvincing to me.

> However, when it comes to actual clinical implementation, RCTs have a problem. So many variables have been removed that the studies no longer represent real people leading ordinary lives outside of a tightly controlled trial. For example, in our National Health Service (NHS) clinic, very few patients with hypertension do not have a weight problem. Many of them are also on drugs for joint pain, reflux or depression. This is why the results seen in RCTs often do not roll out into real-world, clinical practice. For this to occur we need interventions that have a high degree of ‘external validity’—approaches for that better represent the ‘ordinary’ people who populate our clinics. Away from the carefully controlled conditions of clinical trials, results can be very different in the messy, complex world of everyday general practice.

I noticed that he mentioned a RCT on the low carb diet showing good results and read it, but it seems to be p-hacked. They don’t even mention the mean change in weight between the two groups, but only the percent that achieved a 5 or 10% reduction in weight at some point during the study. The also said that 55% of patients lost weight and 45% gained weight.
