Could you name it?
nashequilibrium··on Homeschooled with MIT courses at 5, accepted to MIT at 15
I will never bring my kids up this way, they will enjoy life. Imagine if Steve Jobs was raised this way, we would have no Apple, this kind of one dimensional excellence is for the parents satisfaction.
nashequilibrium··on Racial Profiling via Nextdoor.com
In my spare time, I should make an app called "Racist NextDoor" where you post pictures of all racist residents within a neighbourhood, especially those making dangerous 911 calls.
nashequilibrium··on JustFab: The Billion Dollar Startup with a Dark Past
The last part of this complaint is really scary:

"I signed up to get these shoes and didn't realize that they charge if you don't 'skip the month'. The first time I called and they refunded my money and said emails are sent monthly to remind customers to skip the month. Well the emails came for a few months and then they stopped so of course I forgot and was charged. I tried getting a refund and they said no so I had to use the credit. I tried cancelling the membership and my call never went through and when I started an online chat and told the associate the reason for my chatting with her was to cancel she disconnected us so I couldnt. After that my bank froze my card for some fradulent activity and issued me a new card with a new number and everything and so I thought the nightmare with this company was over. Well they charged me again and I called asking how they got my card number and they said they have a contract with a third party member that is able to get the details of my new card and that I agreed to allow that to happen when I signed up. Needless to say I figured out how to bypass the long phone prompts and was able to finally stop my membership with this company. They are ridiculous and should be out of business with the way they run things. "

nashequilibrium··on Why Runners Get Slower with Age
Source: "endurance sports also peaks around 27 years of age" I have seen most triathletes hitting their best time in their early 30s. Chrissie Wellington actually only started professional ironman in her 30s. She was ironman champion in 2007(30),2008(31),2009(32),2011(34).

Also cardiac output is more correctly a function of stroke volume, how much blood is pumped for each stroke. Therefore very well trained athletes actually have a lower max hr.

Also cardiovascular drift can increase your max HR, this happens when it's very hot or you have lost a lot of water due to sweating, this causes stroke volume to decrease and heart rate to increase while you still at the same physical output. You hear ppl saying my heart rate was so high and i didn't feel like i was working that hard, it's usually due to cardiovascular drift.

nashequilibrium··on Is ketamine the best hope for curing major depression?
Looks like somebody took a huge dose of Ketamine! Those graphics are crazy and so distracting.
nashequilibrium··on Ask HN: Why isn't anyone talking Apple music's slow loading
The loading of songs is so slow and this is confirmed by people i ask personally, yet I see nothing by the big blogs about this. I usually just switch over to Pandora/youtube and streaming is fine.
nashequilibrium··on Show HN: Image Processing for Everybody
This would be nice as a web service for app developers, POST their images with selected alogo to be applied and then send it to their S3 bucket.

I think there is a big opportunity to innovate on overdraft protection and those crazy fees.
nashequilibrium··on No Bad Things: Growing up with obsessive-compulsive disorder
I used to picture my balls getting squashed in a vice grip, worked for a while.
nashequilibrium··on No Bad Things: Growing up with obsessive-compulsive disorder
As a teenager i would get late for school sometimes because i would struggle to get out my bedroom doorway. That damn key in the keyhole would trip me up every time. I would be standing there tapping that key until it fell at just the right angle. The amazing thing is i could not bring myself to just throw the damn key away as i never used it, the brain is amazing in the ways it can fuck with you, with you even knowing that its fucking with you.
nashequilibrium··on Ask HN: How do you motivate yourself to exercise or eat healthy?
Its not about being motivated, its about designing your lifestyle, if you want to eat outside but the table is inside, move the table outside. Design your life so that you have to workout, rather than fighting temptation just don't have crap in your cupboard. Sell your car and buy a bike.

This is a very good paper that will help you out (Intervals, Thresholds, and Long Slow Distance: the Role of Intensity and Duration in Endurance Training), http://www.sportsci.org/2009/ss.htm#_Toc245522384

Here is a good video he gave on polarized training, http://www.canal-insep.fr/fr/training-periodization-deep-roo...

nashequilibrium··on Kleiner Perkins says Pao is asking for $2.7M not to appeal
Shady, do you know him? Do you know his story, how he was denied pay because a person of his kind did not deserve that pay that was owed to him? Now, you wonder why people have called you out for being a racist before, you just like Fox news always on the other side of the fence coincidentally!
nashequilibrium··on Kleiner Perkins says Pao is asking for $2.7M not to appeal
Once again, people try to use her husband to get to her. It would be really silly for her to do that knowing how much she and her husband get scrutinized, so i don't buy it.

Why is a psychiatrist on hackernews, just curious?
nashequilibrium··on 6 Words: 'My Name Is Jamaal I'm White'
No I did not!

"In fact, PRRI's data show that a full 75 percent of whites have "entirely white social networks without any minority presence." The same holds true for slightly less than two-thirds of black Americans." Now isolate the 14% black population from all minorities, take into account how minorities cluster and the 75% number is for black friendship is probably even higher than 90%

Look at it another way 66% of black people say they do not have a white person in their social network. So roughly 34% of 14% of the population have a person in their social network from the white population. So how the hell can all these white people claim to have all these black friends?

Bullshit, I've heard white ppl talk shit about Jersey Shore and use racial slurs against Italians. Secondly look at the Silicon Valley numbers for diversity, how many Asian vs Black? So your point no black interaction == no asian interaction is incorrect.
nashequilibrium··on 6 Words: 'My Name Is Jamaal I'm White'
Your stats are wrong, read below and thats covering all minority groups. now isolate the 14% black group from those minorities. White ppl just don't have black friends, deal with it.

""In fact, PRRI's data show that a full 75 percent of whites have "entirely white social networks without any minority presence." The same holds true for slightly less than two-thirds of black Americans.""

"The reported statistic I've seen is that 40% of Americans say they don't have a close friend of a different race."

Firstly that says of another race, could be arab,persian, Italian, asian, etc... Secondly, no way in hell 60% of america can have a friend from a pool of 14% of America. This is impossible looking at how race groups tend to cluster.
