This is similar to what we did pre-SaaS. When I joined Uber in 2014, each person had an S3 bucket scoped to their username, and any html file you put there had a static url that could be shared with anyone at the company. We started with dumping jupyter notebooks to share analysis, then over time scheduled jobs to update more and more complex dashboards. It was a lot of fun!

Given that 20% of Americans have a net worth above $1M, all of the stats in this article seem way too high.

For example, it says that 85% of Americans have medical debt. I probably owe a copay or two that gets lost in the mail and I eventually pay. Do I count in that 85%?

My favorite thing about 3 is that the soundtrack has tracks based on the number of characters in your party. Gain a character? Suddenly the music is richer. Lose someone? The music sounds more lonely.

Truly underrated game.

I agree that this is bad but the libertarian in me says "the market will resolve this because who in their right mind would be a counterparty to these bets knowing that there is so much insider trading?". But then again, many people are not in their right mind.

What does ‘enterprise Linux’ actually mean? Not asking snarkily; I’m curious what the main differences are between this and other Linux distros. Is it mostly about getting good tech support?

We've used an offline Infant Optics baby camera for three kids and have never wished for any of the smart features that online cameras offer. You really just want to know whether they are asleep and when they are crying. I just don't see a good use case for recording all that video for most kids. (I'm sure there are special needs situations where it is helpful)

I know that 3% interest rates are never coming back and that’s exactly why I’ll probably never move again.

Especially in high cost areas like NY or SF, it’s completely normal for adults, even highly successful ones, to have roommates. I personally know plenty of men who had roommates up until they moved in with the person they would end up marrying.

Have you tried creating a YouTube Kids profile? What you’re describing sounds like what they already have. It is not the default but there is a setting that allows you to create a list of allowed channels. The setting is called “Approved Content Only”.

My God, it's full of stars

Hard disagree with this. Unlike medical experiments, the cost of being wrong startup experiments is very low: you thought there was a small effect and there was none. It’s usually just a matter of pushing one variant vs another and moving on.

There are certainly scenarios where more rigor is appropriate, but usually those come from trying to figure out why you’re seeing a certain effect and how that should affect your overall company strategy.

My advice for startups is to run lots of experiments, do bad statistics, and know that you’re going to have some false positives so that you don’t take every result as gospel.

You can definitely pass out but that's why you don't do it standing up or driving. And of course if you're doing ice baths there are plenty of ways to screw that up.

But overall if you're laying down doing wim hof breathing, I'd say no.

And of course individuals might have circumstances or conditions that do make it dangerous. They always tell you not to do it if you're pregnant, for example.

The most outlandish thing I can remember was about chewing hard gum to fix your teeth, which seems kind of crazy but could be true. I don't remember breathing being posited as a cure to everything, and I also remember plenty of discussion of various studies. It seems quite believable to me that improper breathing causes all sorts of problems. It's possible I'm too credulous, or that you're too incredulous. Who's to say.
