There's a good journal article that compares different perspectives and measurements for zones, that might help (if you're interested in the science!): https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijs

I'm reading a biography of the philosopher Seneca. His life is an interesting example of your final point. He was truly one of the ultra-rich in Roman society -- as one of Nero's top advisors, he amassed a fortune, which was argua

Hmm, I don't understand what would make that fraudulent, could you explain? Many users, and presumably many shareholders, click on ads that aren't relevant to them, or search for things that aren't relevant to their interests

Hmm, where do you need two clicks to change the volume by scrolling? I can just click on the volume icon (or any of the three icons there, since they're all a big button), mouse over the volume slider, and scroll to change it. I think

Agreed with most of your points, just curious about: > Same way you won't get good mileage on any car if you do that What do you mean by that? Aren't ICE cars often more efficient at highway speeds? My car usually averages 45is

Subaru already has a Crosstrek plug-in hybrid, but it's not available very widely. I would have been interested if I'd known they existed before buying my current car, but they're only available in certain states with seeming

I actually moved near my new job anyway. It's remote for now, but will return to (mostly) in-person eventually. Looking back, I should have stayed in my college town for lower cost of living -- but at the time, we didn't think the

I feel this burnout. Finishing up college remotely and starting full-time work without meeting anyone in person has been an odd experience--not to mention political news, social injustice, and climate change looming over all our heads or af

On your note [1] - could you explain more about using a 3rd party? I currently use auto-withdrawals, but it sounds like I should switch before I get in a bad situation like you mentioned.

Thanks for the recommendation! That podcast episode sounds interesting - I'm always looking for new German shows to add to my podcast queue :)

At the same time, there are other people who like the newer UI style much more. I think it looks and functions better. These are matters of personal opinion, including the end judgments of whatever team created it.

While I was lucky enough to not need Examity during my undergrad at one of the universities in this article, I heard many complaints from my peers about it, and everyone echoes the view that it increases test anxiety FAR more than an in-per

Thanks so much! I'm entering a PM role soon and this'll be a great reading list to get me up to speed.

I also highly recommend Dr. Greger's work! He also has a podcast and very informative website with tons of sources and further information.

Tele-medicine could be a part of this - I have seen a rise in online services where patients can receive a diagnosis and some prescriptions by text/video chat with a doctor or nurse. I think this will likely continue expanding, perhaps

Good point - I would guess that Boeing's process is a much longer and more extensive waterfall (i.e. one major iteration on a large scale), whereas smaller companies like SpaceX go through the waterfall for multiple shorter iterations.

Agreed - I used VISSIM for some work in a university transportation research lab, and it was very interesting after learning how to use it - but both expensive and very intricate to learn. It even supports other types of transportation, lik

Does the "pretty weak legal protection of user data" matter in this case though? There are no accounts or cookies (by default at least), and DDG's privacy policy states they don't log or store any user data. For me, that

From my view, I think it must depend on your use case and common searches. I've been using DDG for years now without any major qualms on search results. For my purposes it finds what I need, and for the few cases where it doesn't
