Anyone aware of "easter egg" links on HN - something not listed in the "lists"?

Yes, of course I can, and do. Why would you assume that I'm somehow dependent upon caffeine? It's a substance known to cause addictions and I personally know a number of people who claim that they "need" it - nothing personal here.

Is there somewhere else where immigration is much easier than the United States? As a data point, I applied for Permanent Residency as part of the Australian Independent Immigration program in 2000. The processing took about 8 months, the

Back when our diet was 54% carbs and 12.6% fats & oils, we were a lot thinner than today (43% carbs, 24% fats & oils). I'd say there's too much fixation on "carbs" and "fats" and too little on the source. Would you agree that eati

Some eat lots of protein, some eat lots of fat, some eat low fat and high carbohydrates and everyone believes their method or means of eating is healthy. Well, there's too much fixation on micronutrients such as carbs, fats etc. 100g carb

Please do explain how taking 400mg of caffeine per day constitutes an addiction. I also take a daily multivitamin that contains ginseng, and a 'super' vitamin B pill. The latter makes the biggest difference in energy levels. I guess I'm 'a

I won't swear this holds true if you exercise intensely, since I haven't tried it, but the paleo lifestyle guys say they have no problem exercising on their "lean" days. I don't have any problems having a rather intensive strenght trainin

Some types of meat have great nutritional value but are for some reason overlooked or considered "second class". Things like chicken/beef/pork hearts, ox tongue (was a rare treat in USSR!), chicken/beef liver are very cheap (like $4 AUD per

And if meat was a significant part of our diets, cholesterol and atherosclerosis wouldn't be problems like they are now. And they were not ... until very recent times. If you look at the data available about the hunter-gatherer tribes, th

Are you going to eat meat? Just try to capture a wild animal with your bare hands and eat it raw, you will look ridiculous. This isn't a practical option without technology. There is evidence that humans started eating meat about 2-2.5 mi

In Australia at least, if you pay for hardware, software or education which you use directly for work purposes or for self-education directly related to your current occupation, it is tax-deductible.

Often, when the discussion is related to the field I'm not knowledgeable in, the points are very useful to me. Simplified example: if I know nothing about security, but I can see that the comment "Emailing passwords in plaintext is wrong" i

This may be the study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC292021/pdf/jcinv... "Experimental Obesity in Man: Cellular Character of the Adipose Tissue" In this case, it is not as exciting as I expected it to be. "Prolonged high calo

Keep food stashed in your car, desk, etc. A Luna/Clif/Power Bar will get you through that low blood sugar phase, or more importantly, get your partner through it when they're cranky and they have no idea how close they are to being left in

Here is my financial "hack" if you can call it so. Helps to save some time and money when you really need it. Plan all your meals and everything else during the weekend. Buy stuff on the weekend. Then, your commitment is not to pay for an

"Discovered a little animation company that needed a vision." That's so amazing - or amusing - I absolutely can not tell if this is humbleness, irony, some bragging disguised as humbleness or something totally else ...

In Soviet Union it was called "International Women's Day". I can't recall, but I don't think it was a public holiday. Anyway, that was the day when you could see a huge amount of men buying flowers for their wifes, mothers, and other women

This is interesting, however. Let's think about it for a minute. - Caloric restriction has been shown to work. Caloric restriction would most likely result in individuals being at least slightly underweight. - Underweight

This is very close to how they taught me English long ago in a Soviet school! I have to say I can't complain.
