One ticket as the width of a human hair (60-80 µm).

The winning numbers are a hole the width of a human hair.

The odds of winning 1:14m is hitting another hair head on in a line 14,000,000×0.00007 m=980 meters wide. (~840 meters to ~1,120 meters)

The odds of winning 1:33.3m is hitting another hair head on in a line 33,294,800×0.00007 m=2,330.636 meters wide. (1,998 meters to ~2,664 meters)

If I buy a ticket, it's so I can daydream for myself.

Your cardiologist spoke directly with you; they're a trained, accredited, licensed, and in good standing professional. Go with your interpretation of what they told you.

Additionally, lets learn how to over-come HN's own form of bro-science because I'm pissed off right now.

Step 1: go to pubmed and throw the most basic of terms in: "marathon training cardiology damage"

Step 2: Quickly review the studies listed; we want to see studies after the advent of advanced hormone and mRNA quantification--that's around 2005 to 2010 or so--or anything within the last 5-10 years.

Step 3: Read through one study especially if it appears to be well setup or specific to what we are trying to understand--we can look at the abstract if we have some knowledge in the area, or are just getting a feel for the topic.

Step 3b: take note of terms; this study is an easy one and has everything we want to see in the abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36767963/ "Effects of Long-Term Endurance Exercise on Cardiac Morphology, Function, and Injury Indicators among Amateur Marathon Runners" in the Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2023 Jan 31;20(3):2600. doi: 10.3390/ijerph20032600.

Step 3c terms:

- cardiac morphology, function, injury indicators;

- left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular end-systolic volume indicator;

- myocardial injury indicators, serum levels of cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)

- Long-term high-intensity endurance exercise (not indicated; but "High intensity Steady State" (HISS) and similar will creep into our vocabulary)

Step 4: refine search to something like "cardiac morphology myocardial injury marathon amateur"; throw on "biological indicators", "creatine kinase"

Step 5: rinse, repeat, and read deeper into some of the studies.

Anyways, "Long-term high-intensity endurance exercise caused some damage to the hearts of amateur runners." and your cardiologist said the same. Or you can believe some rando giving medical advice on this forum. And honestly, I'm beyond irritated at the consistently bad takes on medicine, biomedicine, and exercise on YC HN.

Arial contains most of these, Verdana does not. That's the limit of my knowledge of webified things.

The story features Jerry Uelsmann and having his class of photographers either work by quantity or quality of shots.

The specific example I remember was "you can only take 1 shot" vs "take as many as you can"; and the lesson being /the group that did many reps had ultimately better photos/.

I discovered GPSJam a few months ago, and have enjoyed some of your content on Twitter, and really enjoyed your work on the longer form article from a few years ago (the FBI one; "Secrets of the Sky") [0].

I thought this was my slowly acquired technical debt: "what option have I missed? Is this like Aero and I have to turn it off?"

The "where the eff is the scrollbar thumb? ffs" situation has occurred more times then I care for.

No emergency change requests from the outage team that has to be impacted by other areas and fit into the infrastructure's teams maintenance windows and their capacity to address that.

No rebalancing of workloads because Jane had to implement (or schedule the task and monitor it) that change, Joe had to check and verify that the external availability tests passed, and Annick had to sign off on the change complete, and now everyone isn't available for another OT window for the week.

Or something.

However, I think the last purchase I made through Amazon was super specific (particular model of washing machine agitator motor) and unlikely to be glump-binned. So perhaps that's the approach.

Bombardier went into high-risk, high-reward territory, and failed:

1) project they'd never done before

2) technology they'd never used to build and model

3) highly integrated supply-chain with large number of partners delivering large sub-components that had to integrate with other large sub-components

4) pre-planned delivery dates to customers, and still had at least two delivery slips

5) "bet the farm"

Additionally, the C-suite was comprised of nepotistic family connections--who may have been fully qualified, or may have only achieved their role due to the family ownership.

Political conjecture aside, this is a engineering and business failure.

This has been compounding the normal, expected resource churn.

It's a qualitative stance, but a Big Brain with 10 years in an established area is worth more than three "fast brains" with 1 year of local, institutional knowledge.

I might take the "fast brains" (especially if they have limited commitments) if we were in a different situation such as starting up.

Unless I missed it in a one page article.

This is just click-bait without the annoying pop-ups.

There is a strong white-washing attempt by certain unsavory elements to recast it as a benign protest movement.

"I'm not sure I agree with that, and I have a few significant concerns. I'm not comfortable agreeing at this time. We'll have to take this offline and come up with a well-formed (answer, options analysis, options assessment)."

You can also try to push back and ask for an option analysis or position assessment: "I'm not sure that the details are clear on this. Can you provide a (proper) option analysis on this position?"

In this case bureaucracy is your friend.

FWIW, I had a friend indicate that because (tenured?) teaching positions are such high demand, that the available candidates can be significantly high caliber. So that might have played into why the math professor was adversarial initially.

The area I've found the depress-to-impress used was usually in peer contexts and didn't have any teachable outcomes, unfortunately. They're regurgitating material that they have better familiarity with, but probably unable to ad-lib off their "beat path".

This is particularly brutal if they're ego-centric and doing it to depress upon you "how smart they are".

I've seen this with quite a few "smart" people.

There are two aspects to this:

1) talking "smart" - use of phrases, language, and ideas that aren't obvious, or using terms that are part of "smart"

2) small areas of their own knowledge that you are unlikely to know.

Examples:

friend would pull me into quantum string theory (M-brains, whatever) where they'd memorized certain details of it--they weren't particularly smart on quantum string theory, but I had zero knowledge. They'd keep turning the topic into these areas despite group's conversations not going that way naturally.

another casual friend pulled me into the "A Tribe Called Red is so good" when I started gushing about my appreciation of multi-syllabically rapping styles of lyrical rappers that I liked. They were essentially regurgitating a critic's article on the topic.

Some internal Microsofters a few decades ago would describe that there was internal smart-speak for "smart" identifying people. The same is true in most contexts.
