Viewing profile — ahhhhhhhhhh

Late states of some progressive diseases eventually affect eye movement too (ALS, for example) - so there are some use cases where EEG recordings could be important.

The difference is the approach — they look for the cause and sometimes the cause is the blame. When you only look for the blame, you tend to be satisfied once you reach that goal a…

yeah I meant to put more emphasis on the locked-down tube aspect, but you're right

They're currently working on a Mac Pro backtrack; moving from this super-powerful tube to something modular like previous Pros

I'd take a significant pay cut just to never fucking deal with a health insurance company ever again. I've literally made decisions on jobs based on their health insurance plan and…

>“You could throw out a $1,000 bonus, and they would be more motivated by the tequila,” no, definitely not - employees are too afraid to tell their boss otherwise

I have the opposite experience, without clear tasks and goals nothing gets done because people spend too much time bickering about what should be done. When something goes wrong, t…

Apple is spending something like $5bn on an office with open floorplans... I don't think it's going anywhere.

In e-commerce .5% change can mean millions of dollars if you have decent volume. There are very few things that aren't significant.

Turn off all notifications except for mentions. If you're getting frequent mentions that are "on-call" style "why isn't X working" or "when will X be done" or "let's meet immediate…

I grew up in Springfield, MA — and I was seeing similar red flags reading his post about Cleveland. Springfield also has a very clean heart of downtown, but it's a total ghost town…
