I feel like that is taking that line of logic too far. These aren't being created so that people can look over the suffering and alleviate the seriousness of the crime, they're to reduce the suffering that couldn't be preven

I don't know for certain whether or not they accounted for it, but I'm inclined to believe that your suggestion isn't the contributing factor to the reduced calories. I've read about this effect before, except with rehe

Can we also at least agree that enough is known about nutrition to determine that soylent is nutritionally better than the $6 options you provided? So as long as we're comparing alternatives to soylent in price, let's also compar

The price comes down with bulk and subscription (save 20% on sub). you cited "$6/meal per now" and I believe that was a mistake. If a week (7 days) supply is $85, you have $12.14 per day and about $4.05 per meal, which hits

With the previous version it was simply mixing about 1.5L of water with a bag of powder, shaking vigorously, then adding oil and about .5L of water, and finally shaking and cooling. Now the step with the oil is out, and it's a just ad

This article is full of misinformation and unbased speculation. Any of the arguments provided in this article can be refuted with a little bit of research, but if guidance was needed, their "about" section and FAQ are quite in de

Or they don't mean the specific definition of "free" you've concocted. Free can definitely mean "without payment" which one could easily infer from context and it's what GP meant.

That last point about the models actually captures a rather interesting point. Generally I agree that if the model isn't giving results that match observation than it should be concluded that the model is incorrect rather than the obs

I believe that was only speculation as to the method.. Though the alternative that was speculated was transfers at a loss to Square (with an increased user base as the motive).

I disagree with that because I think they are only situationally congruent and you don't necessarily need contempt for the rules to foster an entrepreneurial spirit. If the rules are burdensome without very good justification for exis

I find it interesting that typically we commend ourselves for being a nation of immigrants (all in the past of course) and consistently resist current immigration. I feel like we might be more tolerant as a species if we did away with all o

That's a false dichotomy at its finest. I've read a wide range of agreeing and dissenting opinions with a range of reasons to back them up. Though I will say that there is a decent amount of nationalism present in this comment s

I get where you're coming from, though I can't help but disagree with it. Why does it necessarily need to be hard for people to immigrate to ensure that they are people that you want in your country? Couldn't quality be enfo

The idea of being able to eat a balanced meal without having to meticulously plan and prepare it. It's hardcore efficiency at it's finest and for a relatively good price. If I'm left to eating regular food, I tend to go out

I've been eating soylent for "utility" meals for about 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier with the product. I usually eat one meal a day for the satisfaction of eating food, but it's nice not having to deal with

If it's truly an unreliable or incorrect source then you should be able to find your argument against what he's saying from his words and not from his person. It's a logical fallacy[0] for a reason. [0]: http://en

I'm assuming if you didn't have to accept immediately that you could push it off until you have time to do so. In addition just knowing that there is an update is a boon on it's own. If I know that the code has changed on m

All manner of controls and monitors could be secreted this way in the OSes of all the devices we all use day to day. It isn't very far fetched to suggest that the hack, in software, can create an updatable backdoor. This way every pie

Calling his statement "Faith in science" doesn't change the validity of the claim in any way. It is useful to assume there aren't limits, meaning that it can produce physically observable and usable predictions. I&#x27

Square uses the CVC number on the back of the card as a pin for this currently. It's not the most secure way to handle it imo, but it does stop the general user from picking up a phone and stealing all their money from snapchat (if th

Fair, but even without the information of who/what Square is beforehand, you can look them up. I'd be more likely to trust them than Snapchat simply because they've been around and have multiple payment solutions out already

Even if the users of snapchat were particularly concerned with the security of this feature, they alleviated that concern in the post by stating that all of the financial security will be handled by Square which is building it's reputa

I don't think people who desire this separation are the target audience of this update. It seems to be a pretty solid business move for both parties. Snapchat has a feature that is (at least in my experience) commonly used between fri

In response to the comment on Reddit, Joel mentioned this in one of his points. His response related to the part where I mentioned maintaining a high level of quality in the content. It's not that everything is bad on Reddit, but it

I really like this idea that you fleshed out in this post, it seems to relate more to the more common concepts of "consciousness" that are usually referenced. I do think that your description and Koch's don't necessaril

I have a friend who does a very similar thing on Facebook who is definitely a large influence on the news I read. I'd estimate that person accounts for 90% of the news I read on FB, and threads on a source he posted are almost always

This is a valid complaint about Monsanto and it is one that I have myself, but it is also not the complaint that was being referenced. GMOs (not necessarily Monsanto) have great potential, yet just the words "non-GMO" printed on

That doesn't necessarily tell the whole story of the house for under $10,000. Technically, yes, it might be more expensive per square foot, but you also have to account for the self-sufficiency of the house in not incurring other cost
