Harder than last time

Not really ground breaking news here. Exercise helps but weight loss all starts in the kitchen and comes down to calories in vs calories out. Debate all you want about fad diets but to lose weight eat less calories. This website promotes intermittent fasting. Nothing wrong with it but shockingly the reason it works is when you skip a meal you eat less calories.

For me it’s slack. I don’t get why it’s so popular and why people love it. It’s just another chat app to me.

Prioritize protein. It will fill you up and keep you full on less amount of food. I’ve never done this but some say to eat boring food and they will keep you from binging. A perfect food to meet both of this criteria are chicken breast.

The last time I’ve seen a cyclist stop at a red light was never

As they should. Not being an accredited investor is another way of saying your too stupid to know how to invest your money. But hey, I can yolo on penny stock.

And two weeks later .......

Although not directly related to critical thinking, product questions or brain teasers but what works for me is reading and reading whatever floats my boat. I consider it weight lifting for the brain.

And to think, 4 years ago the headline was “Economist forecasts Clinton likely to beat Trump in US 2016 presidential election”. But as they say all models are wrong but some are useful.

I’m an adjunct prof at a middle tier college. We have a couple classes planned to be in person for fall. I highly doubt it. Plus a majority of the student body is foreign and can’t even travel to the USA. Essentially I’m sayin RIP to middle of the road universities. Guess I need to start looking for another side hustle.

It’s so true. At the end of the day, users haven’t abandoned FB and that’s what advertisers care about.

You bring up a good point. My initial thought was that we would switch over to clean energy but to power the whole us is probably not feasible in the near term

Sad.... I know a lot of jobs are at stack but why can’t we just let these industries die?

None of this matters unless the end users stop using FB. If not, advertisers will keep spending money on ads.

I skip to comments

I’m sure this will go swimmingly

Take the job. Line you said it will advance your career and get you paid. As far as moral hazards, I think Zuck is doing the right thing. The so called “anti fascist” seem to be the ones that want to silence the free speech, which is racist right?

What could possibly go wrong?!

I love this paragraph from the pizza arbitrage article, link below.

If capitalism is driven by a search for profit, the food delivery business confuses the hell out of me. Every platform loses money. Restaurants feel like they're getting screwed. Delivery drivers are poster children for gig economy problems. Customers get annoyed about delivery fees.

I really don’t think FB’s brass really cares. I’m sure there are a lot of people wanting to work at FB that these people are easily replaceable

> calling Karol Sikora a "professor of medicine" hides the fact that he's an oncologist; if he ever had any expertise it was in cancer, not epidemics, and he has no business speaking outside his field.

Then why is Bill Gates the de facto lead on curing covid?

Stock price is forward looking, not past.

Welcome to SF!

I live down by west portal and have been seeing coyotes long before the shelter in place happened. Probably started a year or so ago.

I have the feeling that outside of the HN community and other tech communities, most people just don't care about this, which is sad.

$10,000 later, my office back up

I didn’t read the article because it’s behind a paywall but going off the title, I 100% agree. I work at a FANG company and have been told to stay home. I get so damn stir crazy sitting at home all day. Not to mention I have zero dedicated space to actually work. I can’t wait for my office to open back up.

But that’s the great thing about the market, there still have to be buyers and the public is getting wise about these “semi-fraudulent” IPOs (see WeWork). This is exactly how the market is suppose to work.

Is it just me or are other people sick of all the finger pointing at Facebook for the worlds ills. Sure FB isn’t perfect but it’s hard for me to believe they are solely responsible for Trump, Brexit, the end of democracy, and hell freezing over.
