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 that a good signal that you should be looking to work at other companies?

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 should allow you to be more effective with fewer tests since you can ensure that people who wouldn't normally self-isolate do so.

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.

Health is my first priority so I make sure I'm getting enough sleep and regular exercise. When I'm feeling particularly stressed I'll go to Banya. This helps prevent burnout.

I've also reduced the time it takes to do most everything. No commute, gym in home, no time for grocery shopping (Amazon Prime Now), no drinking, and I'm single.

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 4x12 hour days and then 12 hours over two shorter days. To accomplish errands and the like I just do things before 2pm which is plenty of time.

For me personally more time working = more output. What am I missing?

I should note that I have no family, no commute, and my gym is in my home so I'm able to save some hours on those things. I could see how in those cases one would have less time for work.

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.

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 enjoy the social aspect of parties but I've cut back on the amount of dates that I go on since the risk of being bored is too high.

I've started meditating to try and raise my "boredom tolerance". It's too early to say if it has made any difference but I've met people who swear by it. I'm also trying to get more curious about other people and essentially rely on my extraversion to deal with boring situations.

In terms of substances to fill the niche I don't think there's anything that exists. Coffee is nice during the day but drinking it past a certain time leads to insomnia. I've mostly just taken to drinking a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages LaCroix and non-alcoholic beer.

Pharmacologically speaking the closest drugs would be GABA receptor agonists (e.g. phenibut, benzos, GHB) but those can be quite nasty and even more addictive than alcohol. I have not personally tried them and don't plan on it.

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 want input? It seems like a waste of time.

Where's the gap in my thinking? Is there some way I can mentally reframe my thought process so that I 1) Don't immediately try to solve the problem and 2) Don't get annoyed at my significant other for wasting my time.

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 around my room with shades to mitigate the unpleasantness factor as opposed to going with the "megabulb".

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 open. Self experimentation has shown that I tend to yawn quite a bit more at levels greater than 1000ppm.

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!
