my "belt and suspenders" are "load-bearing"

Tangentially related. I built a little app to help me find art for my home art frame (Meural) -- it searches through the Cleveland Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and Museum of Modern Art APIs.

Very exciting!

Google Reader was killed by Vic because it was the only "social" app at Google at the time. He wanted to grow their FB competitor (G+) and insisted on migrating users over from Reader to G+, which never happened.

Agreed. Logseq changed the game for me. Because SRS is closely coupled with note-taking and is as simple as adding "#card", it eliminates any friction and excuses I had for not using SRS. I look forward to adding new cards as much as I do reviewing old ones.

Godel numbering does this for Logic. Reading GEB rn so top of mind.

Nitin discuss from a fresh perspective what it will take to prevent climate change. He distills and synthesizes books and articles into short essays that push my thinking forward.

Thanks for sharing. This was a compelling argument that nudged my understanding in a new direction.

I recently started paying creators on Patreon and subscribing to news outlets I wanted to support. But within a year, I realized that this was inefficient, I didn't like/read/watch most of the content that my subscriptions were supporting. As much as I wanted to support the content creators and quality journalism, I questioned the value of my subscriptions and cancelled - I felt like I signed up for a gym membership on Jan 1st that I wasn't using anymore.

Ads allow me "to pay" with my attention for only the content that I value. I don't like ads, I generally use an ad-blocker, but I appreciate the post and the perspective.

Using Google Reader felt like hanging out and having a beer with my favorite friends. It was teeming with conversation threads waiting to be pulled.

Seeing a new share was like getting a tiny intellectual present, filled with all the right connotations - "Here's this thing I think you would find interesting," "I care about your opinion, what are your thoughts on this," "It's not important, but it is entertaining," "not trying to share this with the world, just you, my friend."

Google Reader was our company's post-lunch ritual. A way to balance a mornings worth of engineering effort and soporific pad thai with a jolt of fresh news and virtual office banter.

RIP.

Congratulations, this is exciting. Canned solutions are a good way to get young companies from zero to one quickly

Amazing work here. The slow build, the clear code with highlighting, and the suggested improvements at the end - all made this easy to read and follow along!

Also maybe, try to innovate instead of suffocating innovation with a pillow stuffed with cash.

As a data scientist excited about the potential of psychedelic therapies, I like that you are helping bring rigor to the space. I imagine supplementing clinical data with feedback from daily in-app experience sampling could help validate or invalidate new therapies. Keen to follow along and possibly get involved in the future.

Much needed! Analysts struggle with this all the time - trying to explain why an analysis is off and having to manually debug every column in a new database

This is exciting! Thanks for doing this.

Ef yes! Been looking for this, can't wait to try it.

I read the article and thought it was generally vapid.

People sleep in different ways. Here are some pictures of things related to sleep. Sleep is poorly studied we should study it more.

The thermoregulation and serotonin studies were helpful.

Perhaps, if you did a bootcamp and are gainfully employed, you are busy and have less time to read HN.

Agreed, this documentation is exceptional - It makes something rather complicated look trivially easy to implement.

It would great to have a "Analysed with CausalImpact" page like a "built with AngularJs" where we can explore how this was used in the wild.

I'm tempted to start applying this immediately, but I look forward to reading http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co... before starting.

Lynn, FYI - these numbers reported to the DoL are not necessarily accurate and thus should only be used as a ballpark estimate. They are likely to be overestimates of actual numbers.

Having seen H1B document submitted to the DoL, I know that firms misrepresent these numbers. An H1B is granted to immigrants for positions that ostensibly couldn't be filled by US citizens, this is rarely the case. Firms have to show that a job application was life for a certain amount of time and they were unable to fill it.

Finally they need to claim that because the position is so hard to fill, they are willing to pay above prevailing wage. See H1B LCA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa#Labor_Condition_Appli...

They however do not need to prove that the claimed wage is what is actually being paid. These numbers are thus overestimates and I would guess >10% off the mark.

That said, it is obviously illegal to misrepresent these numbers and some firms are more scrupulous than others.

Ingenious. Now if only I could Ctrl-F through unloaded elements I'd be a happy camper.

Great advice. Thanks for sharing. I'm working on my own project and know that the failures you note are universal. It's helpful to hear them again and use it to channel my efforts on building an audience especially when development is slow.

This is awesome! really excited to try it out.

very cool. I love the look and feel. Where are you sourcing your quotes from?

Very cool, great idea.

Yes this would be a great idea.

Most podcasts and blogs are about the success. I would love to read a blog about startup lessons learned.

If this could eventually be categorized and synthesized to provide cautionary/actionable data, that could be invaluable to the community.

Something like: 40 out of 90 failed companies without a technical co-founder fail within 6months. Or 40% of entrepreneurs try 3 companies before attaining profitability.

Are there startups/entrepreneurs in this industry? Seems like a tough industry to be an underdog.

Awesome. I hate indie rock, but I still love Mixest. Kudos.

We are all 2 or 3 years out of college. So while I admit we could be charging our clients a lot more, I don't think that 100K per year in revenue out of consulting ventures is a bad start.
