Btw, if you care a lot about noise, you can 

1) get ultra long display cables (ruipro), can get 144hz 4k support 100ft+ no problem, and just put your PC elsewhere.  I personally just swap cables, to move my work setup between my sitting multimon workstation, to my standing treadmill desk, to my TV, to my couch PC setup.  

2) If you are crazy like me, multiroom water cooling is an option as well. 

FYI you have to specifically enable multithreading for excel/libreoffice.  

You'd be surprised how resource intensive displaying a webpage can be, esp if that webpage is more like 12 trading charts.  

Agreed with getting high single thread performance vs the threadripper (fwiw I have a 3995wx, so I've tested it as a desktop)

Higher memory incase you want to run VM's.  

I'm doing what I can to ensure they win O:)

This works. Donating blood seems to improve insulin sensitivity.

Ping - did this ever happen? I'm looking for good examples of anki decks for book summaries before I start creating my own.

Do you have better suggestions?

It'll take time to adapt, and is generally much easier if you are eating a low carb diet.

Smartwool.

Specifically, get these if you dont wear glasses or these if you do. I've read the wavelength charts for these, and know they block the specific wavelengths of blue light that we care about for melatonin.

Intermittent fasting solves a number of these issues...

My dad changed his name when he became a citizen...and got sufficiently annoyed at the hassle that he changed his name back. Note - this wasn't a major name change, he changed it from "Amarjit Singh Jolly" to "Jolly Amarjit Singh"

How many people come to this? I'll be in town for the weekend (Infosec Southwest), so might be able to stop by.

I'm likely to come (70%) , and could present if desired :)

Dreeves and other beeminder people used to do pomodoro sessions virtually together starting on the hour, I found value in that. (this is where I got the scheduled pomodoro sessions idea from) that I had suggested to you!

I enjoyed the pomodoro sessions we were doing in the Beeminder chat :)

My comments: Seeing people was great, actual ritual was looong, and strongly triggered my ADHD. Which was mostly mitigated by me amusing myself with shiny led gloves.

This mirrors my own experience - the way I've found to have the most influence, and get the most done is often not being the one completing the tasks, but rather the one creating and documenting the process/procedures, and teaching and training other people to do the work.

It's also far more lucrative from a career standpoint! :D

I'm debating just using starbucks VIA packets, but Dave would probably claim those have higher risks of mold :/

I never preheat my blender (but note, I'm using a stick, immersible style blender) And the way to preheat would be to make extra hot water and dump it in the blender.

Wow! that is a great idea. Here I was using blackout cloth and nails... Edit: A friend of mine informs me that this is commonly used by meth labs...and may attract unwanted attention from authority figures?

Totally serious. I do prefer coffee for mTOR impacts, particularily in combo with exercise/intermittent fasting, but tea has it's own set of benefits. Butter Tea

It probably will improve sleep quality, but I have yet to run A/B tests and measure it with my Zeo/Fitbit.

I'd be happy to give you a pair of Hearos next time I see you! I also have a few pairs of SilentEar reusable earplugs that I use for airplances or other times that I want to be able to easily insert/remove earplugs.

If you use outlook, Outlook 2010 lets you (at least) duplicate these features.

You know, you could just do butter tea... :)

FancyHands Per task virtual assistant service - because outsourcing makes life easier ;)

Brookstone Napform sleep mask Best sleep mask I've found, soft, you can fully open your eyes while wearing this.

Etymotic ER-20 earplugs Use these so you can listen to music, go to clubs, ect, and still preserve your hearing. I've probably bought 15+ by now, and keep one in every bag/jacket I own.

Hearos Ultimate Softness foam earplugs Great protection (32NRR), super comfortable. Use these for sleeping.

Kindle 3G Keyboard E-book reader, but get this one for traveling - this provides backup internet access, practically worldwide. You MUST buy the older "keyboard" version for this. Also fantastic to read books on ;)

I have an entire travel set dedicated to BP coffee. Make sure you blend, and don't forget the MCT oil.

1) Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder

2) MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea Filter

3) Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender

4) Lock and Lock 10.8 oz butter container

5) Blender Bottle

6) GoobTube - to hold MCT oil in

For windows, I use X1 Desktop search.

I also use crashplan - to back up my Windows Home Server.

How frequently do you re-balance?

I'm a hacker/computer security expert. I use DropBox for low sensitivity files (it sync's far faster, and has better integration) and SpiderOak for more sensitive data.

The majority of photos were taken from my Less Wrong/Rationalist photo archive - feel free to use more from there to expand the photo collection :)

I will be there for part of the time - I'm flying in Thursday, flying out Tuesday. (I was already scheduled to be in Portland for the World Domination Summit, so I'll stop by :) Also going to jump off bridges :D

Shannon is a connector and will help introduce you to other interesting people! I'd advocate that people stay at her place even if they already have other crash space in Berkeley - as this way you are likely to meet new people that you otherwise would not have met.

I recently (June 10-18th) stayed at Shannon's place in Berkeley - additional advantages include it being within walking distance of public transportation! :)

I will help find/sell plane tickets to friends (and those in my extended friend network, such as LW) at a discount :)

Ok, Photos from 2012 Rationality Minicamp, the 2011 and 2012 NYC meetups, and a random Cambridge meetup are here - Photos They should be up for at least a few months, at which point I'll probably pull them down to save me space.

Oops. That reminds me, I was supposed to send more pictures... O:-)

Photos from the May Minicamp are up on Facebook :) Thanks to everyone for the amazing time, and new friendships :D

Slight Tangent: One thing I've found that helps me in my relationships, is when I see a friend of mine, I mentally recall all the feelings of happiness and shared bonds and good times with that person, and try and put that into my face and smile, and send that at them.

I've also tried to explicitly compliment people (before, I had a bad habit of thinking positive things, but never actually sharing it with the people who I was thinking about!)

I can help for almost anything computer security related, also public speaking, running workshops, teaching and training.

Glad to hear it's helping!

Similar to Cord, when I notice an action or thought that brings me closer to my goals, I smile. Before, I would usually groan or feel bad for realizing that I had not taken an action, which I now realize was creating the opposite impact than what I wanted!

Just booked plane tickets - I will be there for the May one! :)

I'd love to know this - heck, I'd teach a diet course if anyone is interested (those at the last NYC mega-meetup listened to an hour lecture/qa of my nutritional philosophies :)

What would be the best place to share photos from my presentation?
