More it more I'm learning that inflammation is a huge problem in modern health. I'd be very interested in a list of anti-inflammatory foods, supplements and behaviors.

I wonder if marijuana will also be able to avoid being crushed and consolidated by monopolies. I don't think the cigarette industry was able to avoid it but I am not well versed on tobacco industry regulations. My gut tells me that sin

Something about this article reminds of Venkatesh Rao article: We Are All Architects Now "A crisis is too good a thing to waste. Not only should you have as many as you have time for, you should succumb to each as quickly and completel

Amazon also provides high wage workers who are taxed on their income, and who generate economic activity which can also be taxed and used by municipalities to try to solve homelessness. On net I wonder what the benefit / determent of A

I don't understand people who are conflating the search for HQ2 with Olympic bids and sports stadium bids. The Olympics are most likely a one time thing for a month, although in the future I could forsee it revolving around qualified s

I mentioned Obamacare as more of a government solution to the problems mentioned in the parent post but I agree. However remember that Obamacare provides and individual insurance market at the state level (which is doing terribly..) along w

I agree, however our government is not up to the task. Ever since Congress passed Obamacare it has been in a fight to survive, instead of trying to improve the system (which has clear benefits) Republicans have spent the past few years tryi

I wonder which, if any, government organizaations knew about this. Did the DoD know? Russia? China? I remember reading about a "cyperweapon" the US government was using to cause North Korean missile tests to fail before launch. Co

Hmm, pretty shocking photos. I live right across the street from a whole foods, it's basically my pantry, and I've never noticed any items being low on stock like shown in the photos.

I've voted twice in my life. The first time was in 2012, where I waited for over 2.5 HRS in pretty cold weather and saw dozens of folks leave the line because they had to go to work, school, or just couldn't wait that long because

I was not expecting such "backlash" against this post. I am not a psychologist but it feels like there are a lot of people who would like to ship more side projects and/or work on things they are interested in (seems like the

Google and workplaces in general are in a very tough spot here. "Diversity & Inclusion" are grenades in the current political environment and more often than not any discussion in a non monolithic setting where ideas from both

I feel like this has got to be one of the most infamous / inspiration posts in HN history. Just to be able to look at the MVP of a billion dollar company and watch it get scrutinized, doubted and critiqued at that early stage.. it&#x27

A trend that I would like to see more startups buck is the use of the independent contractor model. While I believe startups like Uber and Lyft could not achieve the scale that they have w.o this model, there are smaller startups & mark

Avocado is King. I have it with everything I eat these days. They are a bit expensive (but 4 for $5 at whole foods isn't too bad) and they ripen quickly but they are an amazing source of fat and are very versatile.

Similarly, Stripe will not do any business with marijuana related internet companies. There is at least one marijuana delivery company in Oregon who claims that they can take credit/debit, I have not used the app but I assume if this c

Last year I was in the market for a new laptop for the first time since 2011. I really wanted an XPS 13 because it was Linux first and cheaper than a MBP. Generally what put me off was various issues relating to coil whine and general &quot

Have you tried Eaze? Could you describe the experience? There's a couple of online sites in Oregon (where I am based) but they don't reach my area and the local dispensary is 10 minutes away.

Read The Upstarts by Brad Stone. It's a fascinating book about the rise of Airbnb and Uber. Also check out the podcasts with Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky on How I Built This and Masters of Scale respectively.
