Paleo isn't the only other option to the "Standard American Diet." Sure it's one answer, but the Paleo fear of agriculture can get a bit extreme. People in the US have been living to healthy ages for a long time despite eating lots of whea

And I'll jump in on this calories vs everything else. If, as I've said many times before in other posts, all you care about is weight, only track calories (you'll most likely end up skinny-fat...but at a certain weight. Horray! You are now

I'll read it, but I'm unfortunately suspicious now. When a response to a piece as thorough and logical as Guyenet's gets called a "smack down," it's almost always full of rhetorical blustering which is highly satisfying to people predispos

The only people I know who think obesity is complex Do you think obesity is not complex? You'll probably be skinny fat Probably? What if you are not? Do you just not count those people?

The main issue I have with the paleo example and banning of processed foods is that it neglects to explain people who can eat processed foods in moderate quantities without getting fat.

The flip side of this is that deep understanding of fundamentals helps dramatically when it comes to asking the right questions and filtering results. In my experience, google is often secondary to first-class reference materials (language

Try making cream of cauliflower soup tonight, one with skim milk and the other with heavy cream. Measure how many spoonfuls of each that you can eat before getting full. The important question is not how many spoonfulls it's, how many

It amazes me that this article still pushes the agenda that "fat makes us fat." If there's one thing that hasn't proven out at all, it's that fat makes us fat! Overeating makes us fat. Caloric surplus makes us fat. It's pretty trivial t

I think the worst offender is the idea that people who don't do X cannot sit in judgment of those who do X. Our entire system of democracy -- of jurisprudence -- rests on informed citizens making judgments about areas where they spend thei

I'd say "abstract virtual machine." You are just confusing people. "Virtual machine" most commonly refers to a discrete program that presents a defined computational interface that everyone calls the virtual machine. This VM program must

It makes me seriously sad when people say that their occupation takes all their time, they have no time off and no time for what we call "life". It's not necessarily mutually exclusive. All the grad students I've known tend to find plent

No that's actually the only point of #4. The whole context of this discussion is the difference between students and graduates. One thing that happens when you graduate is that it becomes a lot harder to recruit your "future self" to pay

For those literally betting their future on their education in a financial transaction for which they take personal responsibility... not so much. Most students have no way to reasonably measure the risk they are taking or or commitment t

I see what you're saying and have various opinions on this topic in general (in some cases I disagree strongly), but the point still remains that college, especially the undergraduate level, still tends to be yet one or two layers more insu

When people say academia is not the real world they generally mean a few things. "Real world" might not be dictionary-correct but this is what is meant: 1. Many of the problems you're forced to solve are contrived. They're practice probl

Blatant shaming and guilt trips aren't going to inspire donations from me. If you're treating your users like adversaries or tools you don't get to assume the moral high ground. Nice try, though. Might work on other people.

do you agree that this woman presents her case in a juvenile way No, I don't agree. Anger at harassment and injustice isn't juvenile. Use of jargon familiar to her audience isn't juvenile either. Although I can see why others would see

The facebook system actually sounds really solid, especially the "boot camp" thing that so many companies fail to have, however it's probably pretty expensive. Choosing between fast, cheap, and good, Facebook is choosing fast and good. Fo

For some applications, the number of corner cases that can not be resolved by reading log files is minimal. (you are writing logs, right?) That is, too, assuming the problem is actually in the code itself and not the infrastructure.

Among other things, the author of the OP does not adequately address the role of environment in survivability, reproductive success, and genetic expression itself. He mentions birth control. Birth control is a valuable adaptation in certa

Beware. If the environment is as bad as it sounds, the issue may get forced on you sooner than later. Something will draw the Eye of Sauron onto your boss and he will need to fire a scapegoat or get blamed himself. As the guy who doesn't

Upper-level bosses probably never had any intention of firing all the workers just because some script automated a portion of their work. If it's a large-scale, decisions like that probably wouldn't be made without considering MPL abstract

A bit off topic, but this blog design is an example of failing at #1 from this recent post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4146888 There's a link to blog.cloudent.com but not cloudent.com, which is where I actually wanted to go.
