Didn't read the article yet, but this is the premise behind that book and a lot of the writings on his blog. I highly recommend this book as well as Deep Work if you're a knowledge worker. One of the bigger points he makes is putt

My daughter learned to talk a lot earlier than her older sister who is a year older, also learned to walk earlier too. Anecdotal, obviously, but part of me thinks she was trying to "keep up."

You might be looking for Skurt. Although now that I Google them, it appears they've either re-branded as or been acquired by Fair.

These are some awesome talks I've never seen, so thanks for sharing! I can start binging now. Has he ever given a talk or written a blog post that gave pointers/tips on giving awesome talks? A lot of it is practice, I'm sure,

Maybe I should've mentioned "Los Angeles" higher in my comment, but looking at the sibling comment to yours, apparently there are plenty other states where it is legal to pass on the fees as a surcharge as well. Obviously you

Thanks for that link. Made me wonder about the stores/restaurants I frequent here that do charge, apparently they're still ok to do so after 2015(link from the comments in your linked post): https://oag.ca.gov/cons

Merchants absolutely can pass on the fees or give "discounts" for cash, at least in the USA. Gas stations are one of the major businesses that practice this. Anecdotally, I worked at a company store years ago where we would charge

It's even worse when your chip starts to fail, as one of my has started to do very recently. You have to put the card in three times(and wait for it to fail 3 times) before you're allowed to use the swipe function. Took longer tha

I've read The Obstacle is the Way and Ego is the Enemy. I like his writing, but there is a business-y type of vibe to it. I also recently picked up The Daily Stoic book, which does help me get into a Stoic "mindset" (for lack

Not only the new stuff that replenishes the pool, but often times when I find a new resource/subreddit that I don't know much about but find interesting, there's often a huge amount of info already there. So even depleting th

I got confused because I was clicking the boxes and nothing was happening. They should definitely put a demo button towards the top. But yes this was cool!

I think you're thinking about Antabuse, which does make you sick after drinking. There's also Naltrexone which supposedly blocks the receptors that alcohol reacts to so you don't get the "good" feeling of alcohol. I

Don't let this scare you. When I first started learning this stuff, I started a blog. I made maybe 3 posts before giving up on it, thinking about how much I didn't know, how that everything I could write about at the time was prob

My daughter is 3 and learned to use a phone/tablet before she was 2. Whenever I'd pull up YouTube on my tv she'd walk to the tv and try to swipe it as well. Often getting upset thinking the tv was broken, haha. She was used t

This is what I'm afraid of. By far the most reacted/responded to messages are the Happy Birthday/Anniversary shoutouts, the @channel letting everyone know the coffee machine is working again or donuts in the kitchen, memes, e

Thank you so much for these links. Recently I've thought about building something data viz and stats related using baseball stats. I know MLBAM has a bunch of data they keep to themselves, but I should definitely be able to find someth

This is amazing. I've started to learn Elixir recently, and as a result my interest in Erlang and BEAM has been piqued. I'm sure a lot of this will be over my head for now, but looking forward to digging in.

Just started a new project at my company using RethinkDB, very early stages, but I was amazed at how well this was documented and implemented. Coming from different ORMs to use with MongoDB, ReQL was a joy to work with and I didn't eve

I've played both, and it's much easier to withdraw from DraftKings than it was from PokerStars/Full Tilt/Party Poker. In the dark days of online poker after they shut down a lot of the payment vendors, I'd get shady

Soccer has it's dull games too. Watching teams park the bus or just kick the ball around to kill time. Thrilling stuff! Also, as a fan of all sports, I have to say there is probably nothing more entertaining(at least to me) than the NF

I'm black and live in a predominately minority neighborhood, Inglewood, CA in Los Angeles. It's not terrible, but does have some sketchy areas. I've requested rides to and from my home plenty of times with Uber, mostly withou

I've been wondering about this lately. My stepdad has heart failure and they put a heart pump in his chest. It regulates blood flow and settings can be changed, etc. Leave it to a dev to think "How much testing has gone into this

Really enjoyed this! Although, I did get killed right away after spawning. Maybe make the spawn zone a temporary safe zone while new players figure out the controls or so current players can't camp out?

As long as it stays "Hacker" News, I think the audience will stay small enough and comments will remain to be mostly high quality. If it branches out into "Cat Video News" and God knows what else then we may be in troubl

While I never did own a Treo, I did have a Sony Ericsson P900, which came out about 2-3 years before the iPhone I believe. My friends thought I was crazy for buying such an expensive phone, but I was happy with it for so long that I kept it

This is great news. forecast.io is often the 2nd thing I check when I wake up, after checking email/texts. Hopefully with more devs and support, an Android version of the app will be in the works!

They are legal because the courts and legislation(such as the UIGEA) have deemed them to be legal. I don't understand what seems to be a distinction between daily games and season-long leagues. Season-long outcomes are affected by inju

2) Also, I don't use GMail; say what you will, it's another defense against this. As the article states, you can use this to replicate any website. It's not just isolated to GMail.
