Re:Show HN: Bitfuture – Lock in the Bitcoin exchange rate on Wednesday July 16, 2014 @08:26PM (#8045372)
Interesting idea, and I like the clean interface, but I could use a bit more info. Where are those really long tutorials? Do I have the option to match someone else's order, or can I only list my own orders and hope someone out in the ether matches it?
I used a time tracker (Yast, but there are many) to keep myself honest and find a schedule that worked for me. If you prefer a 9-5, set alarms and schedule morning activities. But if you work better at a 16 hour stretch with the next day as a break, that is okay! Be patient with yourself and thankful you have such flexibility. Communicate regularly with coworkers and clients; this may help you find a more regular schedule. Remind yourself every day who is depending on you. The most important person depending on you is yourself, so make your own health and happiness a priority.

Me, too!
Re:The Power of a Pronoun on Saturday November 30, 2013 @08:57PM (#6825680)
Grammar purity is a reasonable alternate explanation. My past English teachers and some of my current friends would be appalled at the use of "they/them" as a singular pronoun. I have utmost confidence my friends are not covert sexists; rather they appreciate the power of clarity in writing.

Sorry I missed that. I'm still getting used to the arrangement. (Wish I could collapse sections of the comments to keep track.)

Would someone please explain how to interpret this or link me to explanation? The y axes are not labeled, and I am not familiar enough with exchanges to infer. Thanks!

While I agree that stopping bad medication from being on the market saves lives, medication is not at stake in the case of 23andMe. Information is what's at stake.
