Import journalism. "In a 1958 letter to the Manchester Guardian, Fleming offered a revealing confession: “I proceeded to invent a cocktail for Bond, which I sampled several months later and found unpalatable.”"
Looks like a pretty seamless way to extract the text of news documents. Looks very simple and pretty easy.
I wrote up a long email about that I sent to Andrés Monroy. I should maybe publish that as a blog post.
Nice collection of mostly dispersed campgrounds w/ pictures and details on cellphone coverage!
It's a superficial and limited analysis but it seems legit.
Turns out, you can't "stretch" your IT band because it is attached to your femur basically all the way along. You can certainly tension it, but it's effectively stapled to the bone and cannot be substantially elongated.
A very very nice write-up about how to make ricotta. Keep at between 175-185°F. Add 1T+1t white vinegar per liter.
Nice selection of rides hosted on "Ride with GPS" so these include GPX tracks and maps and turn sheets.
Whoa! My first company was in the exact room that the first shot in this video was shot in.
Useful if you don't have the proprietary zoom thing installed. Unfortunately, doesne't make the WebRTC client suck less.
Awesome article by Chemical and Engineering News. "Yan Xu of Jiangnan University and Keliang Ji, former president of Kweichow Moutai Distillery, describe Moutai’s chemical composition in a chapter in the book “Alcoholic Beverages: Sensory Evaluation and Consumer Research” as containing 873 chemical components, including 380 esters, 85 acids, 155 alcohols, 96 ketones, 73 aldehydes, 36 nitrogenous compounds, and 48 other chemicals, although this complexity is not unique to Moutai."
Interesting. This is a sort of blockchain, DAO-based approached to organizing. This looks like a big world that is vaguely in our space that is worth looking into more.
A software suite that has become an Apache project. Used by Apache to create a series of metrics.
"This paper studies differences in the effect of temperature on cognitive performance by gender in a large controlled lab experiment (N = 543). We study performance in math, verbal and cognitive reflection tasks and find that the effects of temperature vary significantly across men and women. At higher temperatures, women perform better on a math and verbal task while the reverse effect is observed for men. The increase in female performance in response to higher temperature is significantly larger and more precisely estimated than the corresponding decrease in male performance. In contrast to math and verbal tasks, temperature has no impact on a measure of cognitive reflection for either gender. Our findings suggest that gender mixed workplaces may be able to increase productivity by setting the thermostat higher than current standards."
