A little of both. Intermittent fasting didn't seem to have an impact. Longer fasts (longest I've done is 3 days) definitely do, I seem to have better control for the days following it.

I've been Type 1 for 20+ years and have measurable remissions based on blood tests. Low level functioning of pancreas again.

The thing that moved the needle for me was fasting + ultra running (which from my understanding implements a fasting-like response by the body in some ways).

Interesting that not eating for a while correlated with what seems like increased pancreatic activity...

Haha this is spot on.

"believe" is a funny word to use for a mathematical equation

Like with the Pepsi jet commercial?

A business by definition is not a valuable and transferrable business if every single person (including the C-suite) cannot be replaced without the business collapsing.

No one is immune to this or an exception. Top to bottom.

I agree, sounds like their systems are optimizing based on the roll-over limit.

Basically I'm just going back to cash pay and negotiation for everything either before the visit, or at the facility. Then using alternatives to health insurance for the original purpose of insurance (lol), to cover unexpected events.

Yep, and ever since a certain insurance provider has switched to an AI system, I've had nearly all my Type 1 Diabetic prescriptions rejected (that I've had no problem getting for over a decade).

Then it takes hours on the phone for every prescription to finally get one approved. Rinse and repeat every 3 months.

There are some ways around the heavy user issues that aren't ideal but will work for BI-oriented heavy users.

Agreed. Most modern forms of Western warfare are non-violent with occasional violent repercussions. It's not lining up troops and sending them places in uniforms, although that does happen.

It's economic, cyber, covert, cultural and other less noticeable sieges that cause collapse from the inside.

Absolutely - when me and my team spend $50k to experiment (which is chump change for a funded company) and it fails, that hurts. It's coming out of my pockets. And because of that, I remember it and my team remembers it.

But it's also allowed us to focus solely on the problems our customers actually have and will spend money for. It forces service/product-market fit before attempts to scale.

We are a services business so it is different than SaaS, but same principles apply.

There are benefits to bootstrap and benefits to funded. I feel as if bootstrapping first is a great way to learn the lessons needed to be successful when you do something funded later on.

MergeYourData.com | Data Engineer | Contract | Remote

We're looking to bring on a contractor for several projects that need assistance with data engineering and data architecture. You'll be working on GCP and AWS, and the architecture components will be determined by you and the team depending on the needs of the client.

Feel free to send an application to dan @ company name. Would be happy to share more about the specific projects, how we work, etc.

Wondering how this is going to change the remote working experience. If the price point starts coming down, I can see this as really useful for digital "in-person" meetings that keep people more engaged than a Zoom call.

Intrigued to test this device out to see if it's really much different from the typical VR experiences.
