1. If I eat a Hot Pocket every day I will shorten my lifespan considerably. 2. Healthy instant food tastes bland or like garbage. 3. Yes. I don't like it, but most of us don't have choices.

Why not? Handfuls of smiley tech nerd kids think they know the web better than professional corporations with decades of experience, and are proven right all of the time.

Horrible? Try genius. Instant recognizability, causes tons of comments. Any press is good press.

I understand - but why are you mad? He never misrepresented the costs, you misinterpreted them.

I agree, but you don't need to emulate Linus's rants to share criticism. There is a difference between constructive criticism and spreading FUD.

...compared to eating out. His comparison was eating out almost every meal. $230 is cheaper than grocery shopping for a month for a lot of people too.

Chasing is clearly spreading FUD. Claiming they are breaking FDA rules, without any backup to that assertion is pretty much the definition of FUD. What FDA rules could they be violating? ----Edit: Also noticed this---- Soylent will be prod

Rob Rhinehart said he would be doing a kickstarter a long time ago. This isn't news, it's a followup to what he promised. Why is this horrible/end-of-the-world? I don't have the time or knowledge to safely track down and mix the materials m

Wow, it's like the "Hacker News Is Depressing" Article didn't happen. I trust the Soylent folks more than I trust myself purchasing frozen meals in a grocery store. It's hard to be worse than that benchmark.

Really? He said he has replaced most meals, but I haven't seen where he recommends that strategy to others.

Looking forward to this. There has been a lot of FUD, and I think some of it is valid, so I'm choosing the 1 week supply option to give it a try. I'd like to replace 1 of my meals each day with this, I hate having to deal with cooking and c

The correlation exists, but is not extremely strong, as the GP stated, which is what my point was. I never said there was no correlation.

by Afforess 13y ago
GP suggested they were highly correlated , I disagreed. You are stating that they are correlated but not highly so. So you agree with me then?

>Income and wealth aren't the same thing, but they are highly correlated. No they are not. According to the US Treasury: "These low realized rates of return call into serious question the use of realized income from capital as part of

Not sure how well the site's font renders on other machines/browsers, but on Windows 7 Pro x64, Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m, your font renders with holes in it. Very odd. Screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49805/Status%20%C2

It's interesting that tolerance is always mentioned when modafinil is brought up, because no research studies have found any evidence of the reported tolerance, and users of said drug have no incentive to hurt the modafinils image. I wonder

As opposed to vitriolic opinions?

There are however, extremely cheap lunches, which the savvy will take advantage of. From my personal experience, this is one such case.

I found the observation about new/delete not being necessarily safe interesting. Been writing Java too long, Java has no delete (garbage collection) and presumably new would have been creating a linked list entry object, which is safe.
