One of the problems with Yelp is that burger king has 5 stars, because 'everyone' loves burger king. Ness runs a recommendation algorithm on my quick star ratings and knows what kind of food I like. Ness typically recommends high quality, g

His chief criticism is that its not his general purpose computer with a full sized keyboard and he doesn't like the popular, social uses for mobile technology. I don't think anyone can help him with that.

This is very strange advice. I've never gotten a job from an acquaintance and am never likely to. There's a much bigger pool of jobs from people you don't know and a much better chance of a good match being made somewhere in that pool. The

So, for the uninformed peanut gallery, beagle3 is just plain wrong. Probably not intentionally, he's likely also fooling himself. But you locked him in a room and measured his food for him and really only fed him 1200kcals per day, even a

I'd bet a fair amount that your Mass General study used self reported calorie intake. 800kcals a day is typically enough for a 100 lb person to lose nearly a half a pound of fat a week. That's low calorie by most people's measure. Certainly

The sad thing is that while Taubes is a quack and his book title is quackery, he probably is 40 years more up to date than many nutrition or medical professionals. USDA sucks pretty bad.

Pretty common to see grandstanding "I left" posts for Facebook. Not as much Twitter. Or really any other service that someone just stops using without devoting an entire blog post to the minutiae of how and why. Coming up next: WHY I LEFT C

The real problem with Facebook is the symmetric friend model. I have 70 FB friends and a couple of those would be removed if it were politically convenient. Twitter does it so much better. I wonder if the FB gods ever run statistics of ho

Webservers can handle a big OS. The hardware is typically over specced as it is. You might find some utility in shrinking/streamlining the OS for embedded or mobile.
