An animal does not choose to live a wild or farm life. I assume that fewer farmed animals does not increase the number of wild animals.

I’ve done this recently for similar reasons. It’s easy to set up and seems to work well so far. DKIM signing of emails doesn’t work yet when sending emails from the Apple Mail apps…

Hawthorn Effect is right although it is disputed [1]. Interestingly, the interpretation that I remember is that productivity increased because the subjects were part of an experime…

Spaced repetition in form of testing yourself. Anki and other software help with this.

This used to be me. Now I don’t care, I follow the text set by the lecturer. Look up a uni you respect and see if they have a course on the topic you are interested in, then find t…

I found by going back to uni I have been forced to learn a lot of things which I wouldn’t have taken the time to look at before. And they are actually really interesting and useful…

Excellent points. For more established fields this is where textbooks are really useful. Plus, university course syllabi/recommended reading can be a nice way to find useful conten…

I find practicing is key to truly understanding the content. When I find the practicing difficult, it means I don’t fully appreciate what I read. The process of practice and readin…

Practice. That means both doing problem sets and teaching others (or thinking through the content as if you are teaching, so ask lots of questions and think about how the concepts …

In addition this is potentially a good sign for optimisation of both CAC (better quality marketing) and LTV (better quality product).

I do think "everyone" was hyperbole, yes. However, I'm unsure why clickbait has to be dishonest. In the example the headline was clearly written to attract people with (or suscepti…

Context is essential in headline writing. You must consider your audience and the goal. Here, the title of paper plays a very different role to the title of a blog post. The blog p…

Polar sounds interesting. I've got experience in helping the tech-focused sell their visions, so I might be able to help. Despite that I'm probably not co-founder material. I'm hea…

The thing which worries me about OnePlus and similar cheaper options is the security patches. They seem to be very slow/non-existent and the devices aren't supported for very long.…

>> bundled My iPhone bought direct from Apple didn't have anything like that. Nor did my friends who buy on contract with carriers (UK). What carrier did you buy from and did you r…

The redoing my partner saw was often because an experiment didn't result in what the researcher expected. Rather than try to figure out what went wrong (or why their expectations w…

You could look at it that way. Hours of time would be spent like this toward the end of the day so why not just go home? In addition, mindlessly repeating experiments isn't a break…

I don't think that these 12 hour days are full of productivity. My partner spent some time in the summer as a researcher at a key lab in Shanghai. She observed that researchers put…

I consulted with a great company in this field and they also use a mix of OCR and humans. Difference is they have trained in-house staff, rather than farming it out to just anyone …
