Wasn't that the premise of the movie? Anna Kendrick's character was hired by the company to capture the process of firing people so they could do it remotely.

I wonder if there's a connection to Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) supplementation.

NR is a precursor to NAD+, which has been shown to improve mitochondrial function especially under stress.

NAD+ is one of those molecules used in a ton of metabolic processes and over a lifespan NAD+ avalability declines. This decline is linked to numerous age-related diseases. There's a bit of research showing NAD+ supplementation contributes to anti-aging effects.

NR is easy to take, well-tolerated, and a cheap precursor for NAD+. There are IV clinics that have NAD+ infusions, but they cost like $500. On the other hand, you can get a month's supply of NR for around $50 (Thorne's ResveraCel).

Note that Magnesium Citrate is often used as a laxative. It's usually an order of magnitude higher amount of magnesium than when you're taking it as a supplement though.

But if you are sensitive to magnesium's laxative effects you may want to look for another formulation.

Magnesium L-threonate may have better cognitive than other formulations, but I wonder if a magnesium glycinate formulation would be better for anxiety/stress reduction.

Anectdotally also, I take Magnesium Bisglycinate from Thorne occasionally and it helps me relax and feel less anxious. My muscles stay pretty rigid normally and after taking the magnesium supplement I can feel everything loosen up. Helps with sleep too.

They are backed by cex.io which is an exchange that trades GH/s for BTC.

They are able to run a pool for 0% fee, along with mining a couple of other altcoins makes them a more profitable pool than others.

Thanks! I forgot about that site. I was looking at it before, but was waiting for a Rails 4 update. It looks like a Rails 4 version of it was just recently put out, so I'll definitely go through it.

Not in reference to railstutorial.org, but I think the hard part about finding resources online is that it's hard to determine if it's still a good resource or outdated. This one looks good though!

This is a really good idea. I think it would help a lot. Do you know of any good screencasts?

As an avid collector of links, I know of these paid sites:

[1] https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts - Seems more advanced than an intro course.

[2] http://www.letscodejavascript.com/ - Looks good, but for javascript. It does look like it's better geared toward beginners.

[3] https://peepcode.com/ - Has play-by-play's, but it's quite expensive.
