<p>Rubicon is excellent. I was disappointed at the time it only got one season, but in retrospect it worked out okay because it's one season done very very well.</p>

<p>That and also the N9 were great, wish they were not abandoned. The design language on the N9 was way ahead of its time too. I still haven't seen a time picker as good as the MeeGo time picker, and now a decade later my Samsung has similar App icons as the N9 had in 2011.</p>

<p>"line up and wait" is no less declarative than "position and hold", and has the advantage of not being confused with "hold short". Who is confusing "line up and wait" with "cleared for takeoff", and are they really any less likely to have been confused with "position and hold"?</p>

<p>>The researchers behind the study found that people who have had success losing weight have a few things in common: They weigh themselves at least once a week. They restrict their calorie intake, stay away from high-fat foods, and watch their portion sizes. They also exercise regularly.<p>From your reference.<p>>If a subject is already severely overweight, adding exercise could compound the risks.<p>I can see how this would make sense, but for people who are living a sedentary lifestyle and are only moderately overweight, I find it hard to believe that exercise is a bad idea, even if it were to somewhat slow their weight loss progress (and this is without getting into "weight" loss vs. fat loss, which is what really matters)</p>

<p>Exercise is important for general health and fitness too, though. Holding off on starting exercise seems foolish when it has so many benefits. Count calories, but don't wait to exercise.</p>

<p>My interviewee style is to ask questions during the interview. I feel like it makes it more conversational and pleasant.<p>I ask so many questions/clarifications during an interview that even if I have a big list going into it, by the time the interviewer asks if I have any questions, I pause, and then most of the time I'll respond something like: "I think we've covered everything I was curious about" and then do a quick recap of my understanding to clarify and uncover any bad assumptions.<p>My interview to next stage/offer rate is quite high, so I think my interviewee style is reasonably good.</p>

<p>Musk's speaking is always a little awkward (in an endearing way), but did he seem significantly more nervous/emotionally affected than usual in the first part of this speech? It seemed that way to me, curious if anyone else interpreted it like that.<p>He calms down when he starts talking about risk and it being the anniversary of a launch.<p>edit: Good and fun presentation regardless!<p>edit2: Thoughts:<p>- Maybe he feels in over his head. The timing when he relaxed seemed to coincide with talking about a previous experience that might have felt overwhelming at the time but paid off.<p>- Maybe he typically takes beta blockers or something for speeches and take them until late this time (the talk did start late)<p>- Maybe it's just random.<p>Any spacex watchers have thoughts on cause?<p>edit3: Definitely not a diss. Love Elon/SpaceX/the vision.</p>

<p>>They would probably pick something more secure than the government did<p>The government did NOT pick SSN's for ID. SSN cards used to have 'not to be used for identification purposes'. It was the private sector that appropriated SSN's as ID's. What the government failed in is adequately prohibiting and enforcing a prohibition of this type of use.</p>

<p>This happened to me with Instagram (which I stopped using after they killed the chronological feed). I'm almost certain I never gave my number to Instagram. I used it to confirm something with Facebook at some point apparently, but I don't recall giving it to them and I can't imagine myself consenting to phone notifications. At one point they sent me a message at 2am local time on a Sunday.</p>

<p>I still have a Galaxy Note 3 from either 2013 or 2014. It does OK, though has had a cracked screen that's only getting worse (I drop it pretty often). Battery life is the biggest issue, but it's still just within the OK range. Normal use and it will get down to 20% by the end of the day.</p>
