Convenience or privacy, it's a tough choice to make. I'm thankful for Global Entry / Clear having to travel most weeks for work

Just put it on my reading list based on the article. Now for getting around to actually reading it ;)

That's an important distinction to make. "Homeless" carries a large negative connotation and lumping in relatively affluent people like this dilutes the large issue of homelessness [not by choice] faced by so many

There are lots of issues with traditional hiring approaches - would recommend looking into Performance-Based Hiring if you are a hiring manager looking to improve your process and outcomes

Book sounds interesting. Democratization of programming knowledge can only benefit us in the long run

The article speaks to how this phrase is a shortcut that doesn't get to the fact that mental health issues like depression can have a range of factors behind them including genetics and environmental factors

Yes, but there is more helpful detail in the article. Specifically taking five minutes each morning to block out my calendar for specific tasks is something that has greatly improved my working days

I find that perfectly quantized tracks sound artificial over time. Not sure how close “aisatsana” sticks to perfectly on-(half)-beat, but adding slightly random quantization offsets to each generated note could be interesting to lend the results a more "natural" sound

Yes. My favorite Aphex Twin track.

Relatedly, would strongly recommend the Booka Shade DJ-Kicks album - Alberto Balsam is one of the tracks they selected https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onLPjryBtns

Along that line, if the US had a similar system, our current president would have been marked a "deadbeat" long before he got the chance to run for office (not saying the system is right, just saying)

Great post, great example - I'm going to try and apply this analytical/process optimization mindset to more of these "softer" management tasks. Thank you

*First class is in decline, rather. Don't think it will ever disappear, mostly for the first reason the article says - the upgrade chance as a carrot to keep business traveler loyalty

Would it be nice? Flying is already a tremendous environmental burden with the focus on fuel economy. I'm happy to sit in my seat a few minutes longer if it means taking away some of that emissions impact

Slightly off-topic, but mindfulness approaches have been shown to improve depression and are an important part of CBT/DBT used by therapists everywhere

Completely disagree. It says he can call himself an engineer in a non-professional context.

Having a ChBE BS, I am an engineer (although no longer working as one). I am not a Professional Engineer (not a licensed PE). There’s a difference - doesn’t mean I should not be able to call myself an engineer, and I’m sure others w engineering degrees would agree

Well said. I think the reason it's easy to feel that people at the C-Suite don't produce value is the "leadership" qualities that matter are very hard to define, and success or failure often doesn't make itself clear until months or years down the road.

As a lower-level employee, sometimes you think that the company would be successful without a leader, or even is successful in spite of poor leadership - while that may sometimes be true, much of what happens at that level is hard to understand unless you've been there

FWIW I don't think companies are allowed to purchase consulting services from their auditor, specifically because of this conflict of interest. In my experience, companies will have one of the big four as their primary auditor, than use some combination of the other three for consulting (in addition to MBB or any other firms).

In no way defending the value of these services though - their primary function is to shift culpability off of the executives IMO

A lot of that may be due to the way Facebook has changed their algorithms in the last few years. I know that both Pages and Groups that don't pay for engagement have had huge issues with their content no longer showing up in follower's feeds. Could be that rather than users "ignoring" the group

Wario Land 3 was a great game. Hmm, makes me want to find that old GBC I have lying around somewhere

Also wondering this. The article mentions the difficult problem of scaling up red algae farming - could the active ingredient not be synthesized commercially and added to feed that way?

edit, from Wikipedia: "The substance may be hazardous to the environment, and special attention should be given to aquatic organisms. Its volatility and environmental persistence makes bromoform's release, either as liquid or vapor, strongly inadvisable. ... Bromoform is a confirmed animal carcinogen" Although I presume the bromoform binds to the enzymes and/or otherwise reacts in the stomach, as usual there are pros and cons associated with this sort of thing

The comments here so far seem to be focusing on the click-baity title... the article is actually a good review of mindfulness research and next steps in the field

HPV vaccinations are now recommended for both genders for people under the age of 26 for the most part

And that, folks, is enterprise software services/consulting in a nutshell!!

various stir fries are great for that

Well, for one, I like what I do. And thus far I've been able to manage it by making some changes, over time. Basically all of these I learned about from other HN threads:

* first, switching between using L and R hands for mouse

* eventually, purchased a new mouse: Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Right - neutralizes your wrist on mouse hand

* software that forces you to take breaks instead of just sitting and typing for hours straight. Workrave is what I use (http://www.workrave.org/) - freeware and lightweight. I take 12 second micro-breaks every 4.5 minutes and a 4 minute break ever 25. Get up, stretch around, wiggle your arms. Staring at a far away corner of the room helps w/ eye strain too

* for plane rides - small, wireless trackball has worked wonders. I can't use a laptop touchpad worth a damn

Dealing w/ RSI has been an eye opener for me. What makes it worse: working on a laptop, working on the plane, having to do long hours in poor ergonomic conditions. What do I have to do to be good at my job? Basically, that. What happens if it gets worse and I can no longer use a computer for at least eight hours a day? That is my livelihood

RL == "Real Life"

Did you write your TL;DR before reading the article?

All three of the quotes you added aren't talking about poaching, they are talking about killing of orangutans. This could be done because they are a nuisance or locals see them rummaging through trash or what-not.

Ctrl+F in the article for "poach" - zero hits

A not great ad - the squished notification format looks terrible

Most of these forks add nothing of value. I don't see forks replacing ICOs at all, as the article suggests - they serve different purposes (besides the fact that both may serve as a pure money grab by unscrupulous parties)
