Were you involved with the project? I worked at msft back then and distinctly remember the office ipad team. I think ballmer actually let them release just the OneNote standalone app in 2013 iirc.
There's a ton of evidence that these substances might be bad for you. Among human study cohorts they have been shown to have a serious impact on reproductive health and infertility, metabolic and oxidative stress, cancer risk, cardiovascular health, the immune system (including children’s asthma), and neurodevelopment. Exposure risks extend from more controllable areas such as consumption of packaged food to less controllable areas such as environmental and household dust. Moreover, the impacts seems to be more pronounced in children. While most research on these effects in human subjects are more recent, people have noticed the link between plasticizers and hormones/fertility in male rats since the late 1980s. Thirty-five years of results make it less likely that human results shown are a result of p-hacking or similar statistical legerdemain. With half of the world’s plastics produced in the last 15 years - we'll probably see the research become more conclusive as the effects of those plastics are seen in further human studies
“The longest day” is a great book on the subject were they interviewed thousands of people who were personally involved in D-Day and wove their stories together as well
Not from D-Day or the European theater, but “With the Old Breed” is a really well done personal account of combat in the Pacific. It was part of the source material for Ken Burns’ “The War” and for the “The Pacific” miniseries on HBO.
Thanks, just bought it. "The Longest Day: June 6, 1944" by Cornelius Ryan (for others looking for it, there are multiple titles called "The Longest Day")
Ha! Same here! I though that it must be something like that link between relief of depression and sleep deprivation. Turns out, fitful is not related to being fit or to a full night of sleep, but more to throwing a fit.
I can see how it'd be interpreted that way at first glance. My read was always that it meant "full of fits", in the way that a child throws a fit or tantrum. So if your sleep is doing that, it's not good.
I guess I missed that. I read it originally as being more about enjoying the results of the airing rather than listening to the actual show.
There's still no mention of listening to a podcast before paying them money or why this would be important in creating an effective ad. I really expected this to be one of the main points.
Second that. Outside of HN an average person, or probably north of 95% Uber riders, neither heard nor care/cared about internal problems at Uber. None of those problems really reflected on qualty of services they provide to the final consumer.
Sequoia (US) and Sequoia China are separate funds. They share the same brand and work together on some areas, but the funds are separate and the LPs are not the same (some LPs may invest in both funds but not necessarily.)
