grillermo | 4 years ago | on: Standard Notes is a safe place for your notes, thoughts, and life's work

It is not safe(long term wise) for me as long as it relies on a closed source app that develops a probably dead in a few years company.

grillermo | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: How do you balance reading books vs. articles

I keep my reading time at two hours daily, with that i am supposed to read about two or three books a month and everything that falls into my kindle. At this point i’ve gotten very good at skim reading light articles and aggressively deleting uninteresting or bad ones.

grillermo | 5 years ago | on: Intermittent fasting doesn’t help you lose weight, UCSF study suggests

I lost 10 kg after two months of doing 18 hour periods of fasting.

I’ve tried other diets and this one has been the only maintainable one. My body does not feel hunger at night anymore.

The success of going for long streaks of days has greatly motivated me of eating healthier, with less carbs, no snacking and more water.

So probably the fasting itself was not the direct but indirect cause of the lost.

I sometimes do eat at night, socially, but i always find it easy to go back to the fasting.

grillermo | 15 years ago | on: Africa needs more tech incubators

I think this idea makes the mistake of thinking that people in third world countries have the entrepreneurship drive that exists in the US, in other words its making the mistake of thinking "everybody thinks like us Americans because we rock so much, so lets help them be more like us!" We'll see how this experiment turns out.
