Are you saying there are CEOs who won't lie to make their stock price go up?

Because I have not seen them.

I wonder what % of content is generated by old.reddit.com users, and what % from third party apps too. Figures not mentioned by Reddit mgmt so I'm assuming they don't favor their desires to end them.

> It's also really childish to use pejoratives like "Chairman Pao".

So you don't like name-calling but you're cool with calling him "childish" and referring to his "pot-smoking" friends?

Re:Ask HN: Do you feel Excel is dangerously overused? on Monday May 11, 2015 @07:49AM (#9523978)
I've participated in several assessments of a companies and departments. An inevitable question in the interview process for department heads is: "tell me about your Excel addiction". This is a sign that their BI tools have failed them and frequently that they have neglected to invest in reporting. The next level down is that they are performing operations necessities with Excel. The last level is that they have no operations software and it's all done in Excel.
Re:Ask HN: What OS do you run? on Sunday April 19, 2015 @11:13AM (#9403430)
OS: Windows7 on a Zenbook

OS: Ubuntu/ChromeOS on a Acer C720 Chromebook

Tools: Angular, BS3, PHP, slimPHP

Agonizingly close to being able to use ChromeOS but primary client uses a VPN that ChromeOS refuses to support.

And the desire to continue studying until "we're sure" is what leads to the current obesity epidemic and kids still being taught the ridiculous food pyramid in 2015.
So since we all develop cancer cells at some point doesn't this same logic hold to not "feed" them? And we might not be able to starve constantly but we can avoid producing insulin. I hope more studies can prove the links between dietary choices and cancer.

Uh, wrong. The Nexus 7 2012 launched with 4.1 and has seen upgrades to 4.2, 4.4 and now 5.0. The Nexus 4 also has had 3 major upgrades.
2nd that. Needs FAQ.
Re:Modafinil and Startups on Monday February 27, 2012 @04:13PM (#3640679)
Two points I didn't see about modafinil that I've found: 1) There's a long lag from the I take it until the time it kicks in. I read somewhere that it has to be processed by the liver once and the results of that are what actually has an effect. The upshot is, if I take it after about 11am, I will find myself awake after 1am. So for me it's early or not at all.

2) As a hangover/sleepless night cure. Modafinil is a great "fixer" for a slow d-r-a-g of a day. By noon I usually have forgotten I started the day hungover.

I generally take 50mg for the mildest effect, or sometimes 100mg if the need is greater.
