Interesting idea. Does anyone do this for Azure?

How often does the CEO change though? What would the alternative strategy be? If you feel that the CEO is likely to get replaced or that the CEO is likely to change strategy isn't …

You can modify the algorithm to do n-degree contacts as well though and then you can propagate a positive test through the network accounting for time delays. Contact tracing shoul…

It's roughly 9 hours of coding and 3 hours of brainstorming with my co-founder. I do notice that my focus wavers quite a bit. Meditation has helped with this to a certain extent. H…

I never understand these studies. I'm bootstrapping a startup and my work output scales linearly with hours until about 60 hours per week. 60 hours per week is comfortable with 4x1…

Kombucha is a great vegan source of B12, one of the key nutrients mentioned in the article. The B12 in kombucha actually comes from the culture itself.

I've found that meditation has also helped me. I read several books on the subject of meditation but found "The Mind Illuminated" to be the best.

This study uses an inscrutable statistical model to arrive at this conclusion. On the other hand I have yet to see an epidemiological study that shows abstaining results in a lower…

I'm 2.5 months sober and this has been my experience as well. I'm now much more wary of getting myself into situations where I might be bored. I'm naturally extraverted so I still …

I have never understood this and this very issue has caused trouble in my romantic relationships. Here's my thought process: why would someone talk about something if they don't wa…

I didn't see this, thanks for posting it! My thought process was really similar to the author's actually and I've been happy with the results so far. I've distributed the lights ar…

I absolutely agree. As an aside I also have a CO2 monitor (Awair device) and make sure to keep my bedroom/home office below 700ppm. This is easily achieved by keeping the window op…

Thanks! My only other recommendations of similar books but have already been mentioned would be the Steve Jobs book by Isaacson and Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Tangentially related: I've been experimenting with very bright lights from when I wake up to sunset. In my bedroom/home office I have a couple 6000k LED lights at 8100 lumens makin…

Some great books have already been mentioned but those which were the most personally influential which haven't yet been mentioned: - Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story …

It's certainly possible that the relationship is not causal and can be explained by correlations with depression, unemployment, sleep apnea, etc. However I'm not aware of any study…

There seems to be quite a lot of information about why =8 hours is associated with increased mortality. See for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29790200 (an interesting…

Normally I would be inclined to agree with you but the article specifically says: "The research has some important limitations including ... the subjective measure of sleep being b…

I saw this with a partner. She was extremely agreeable and would compromise her own sleep to make time for others. I suppose that doing this over time adds up and extracts a toll.

Thanks! I pull conventional, I'm no good at sumo. I would agree that multi-day fasts would not be good for strength sports. There doesn't seem to be a authoritative source but Lean…

Personally I haven't noticed any reduction in strength doing 8 hour time restricted eating. I've hit my most recent PRs doing this. For reference I'm decently strong with squat/ben…

What country and tech? I haven't heard of this before and I wonder if it's a recent phenomenon due to the strength of the US dollar.

I've been experimenting with mouth taping recently. When I'm able to use it effectively it does result in a much more restful sleep and my blood pressure seems to be lower the next…

I'm reading Aubrey de Grey's book Ending Aging right now. I'm finding it to be a good read and a great introduction to his approach, SENS ( http://www.sens.org ).
