Just use a Google Sheets or other online doc and a normal scale. It's so much faster in my experience to use a normal scale, read the number, then pop open the sheet (it can be a d…

Can someone at Area 120 make bringing back Google Reader a thing? I'm serious.

From what I saw it's part of the company culture. Managers were there late so of course their subordinates didn't want to leave and be seen as not working as hard. Also there's no …

Your interpretation is wrong, I've been to Uber's office in SF and its dinners are big trays of catered food brought in late in the evening. They're dumped in the kitchens and empl…

The Arduino Cinque board was just announced and has a RISC-V chip along with an ESP32 and STM32: http://hackaday.com/2017/05/20/arduino-cinque-the-risc-v-esp...

Nitpick but your request is most likely not going to space. You're going to a cell tower that's at most a mile away from you, and that tower is probably linked with fiber and coppe…

That's why you typically add caching (like cookies) that store the UUID with some user context so it can be provided directly in queries.

That's why you list references from your last job and people call them to see what kind of person you were while there.

Not in San Francisco or the Silicon Valley area. Median home prices are well over $1m. That's not even enough for 20% down on a mortgage.

For 16:8 fasting it's just water (I like using a sodastream to make seltzer water) and black coffee. Maybe a tea if I want to mix something up. Never any sugar, cream or other thin…

Yeah some studies show exercise in a fasted state increases adrenaline and human growth hormone production, so it's kind of like getting natural steroids. :) It also helps train yo…

Avocado, fatty cuts of meat (bacon, beef, etc.).

Yeah it's wild, here's a before and after: http://imgur.com/hHtyMPF Training to climb Mt. Rainier later this summer--something I could never have imagined being possible 2 years ag…

> I have to say that this is not working very well for me, and I'm gaining weight. Try ditching the grains and sugar, they're doing nothing but adding weight. Eat foods that have l…

I do daily 16:8 fasting (only eat from noon-8pm) and keep things paleo/low carb when eating. Recently I've tried some extended 72-hour fasts and really like them too. The big thing…

Rainier is awesome and a worthy endeavor for anyone but it's 14k feet vs. 28k feet and a whole other ballgame. To put it in perspective base camp for Everest is at 17k feet--well a…

Into Thin Air by John Krakauer, although maybe you don't want to read it until after the attempt. :)

People have been drinking carbonated water for over a hundred years now (maybe even two hundred years actually). If there was a strong link between carbonation and damage to your b…

Actually OBD on moderns cars is pretty much useless, it only reports the basic federally mandated emissions info for e-checks and that's it. All the fun stuff is on CAN and other o…

By 2020 President Zuckerberg will mandate all citizens have Facebook accounts.

Eat low carb when you're feasting. I.e. stop eating sugar and grains that make your body crave and depend on them for energy all the time. Get off the insulin rush rollercoaster.

Train while fasted, you'll feel amazing trust me. I do a 16:8 daily fast too and do regular HIIT and strength training while fasted (in the morning). In the fasted state your body …

Looking at my cell phone bill I use far more data than I do actual voice a month. It's kind of an anachronism to call it a phone anymore. It's a pocket computer.

It's Gentoo, but that doesn't really matter--it's built to only expose a browser, not to be a general purpose computer.

That's like asking does Chrome browser allow you to run Safari or Edge.
