I don't believe that we evolved from apes, sorry. edit, yes i realized later also the evolutinites have a common ancestor theory, so I should say: I don't believe that we evolved from a proto-mythical-man-ape, sorry.

They want to make money. Nutritional science will tell them the next "healthy" food they can sell to the public. Maybe they can sleep better at night knowing it was scientifically vetted.

So Michele Obama's attempt to counter obesity with exercise for children and healthy fresh cooked food needs to be examined rigorously through the lens of a nutritional science initiative? We might discover that exercise makes you more fat

Again spare me, someone has just 'discovered' grains are bad for you? What will they 'discover' next in the laboratory of nutrition? I'll take traditional ayurvedic knowledge over this 'rigorous nutritional science initiative' chaired by

It's complicated because people don't want to cook. If you eat freshly cooked vegetables and WHOLE grains, what problem will you have? Another silly attempt at "hacking" our bodies. Spare me.

Yes this article is written for people not using Rails & Sprockets. Pretty amazing the best practices that Rails asset pipeline enforces. It will also concatenate the JS & CSS files to reduce HTTP requests and does automatic .gz f

Going to take a look now. Looks very interesting and useful. Will leave a donation if I learn from them. BTW, your anki link doesn't point to the anki flashcard viewer site.

So are Chinese upset at Apple, Foxconn, their government, their situation, or their communist totalitarian system?

Sure but whats the killer app? What can the internet improve significantly? What is really useful to an average consumer? Not someone who is just looking for ways to spend time on a computer.

Cinder block and concrete are worse sound and thermal insulation than a layer of gypsum? Really?

Yes we can thank our FDA and Donald Rumsfeld for our government's acceptance of aspartame. Good thing the dangerous plant stevia was banned until 2008 and we had the safe aspartame, thanks Rumsfeld! There are still studies that find fault

They need to release a few random line items as proof, otherwise it's a nice scam.

The articles around this are interesting and consider how it could become prevalent and they rightfully point to high performance computing. I think another obvious area is countries like India which have very high costs for power and do n

I really cannot understand why this is not more prevalent. The cost savings of not having air conditioning for a datacenter should be well worth any mess of oil.

I think we have to start with the American Medical Association. It is in their interests to keep prices high and keep doctors in their McMansions. First follow the money, who benefits from high prices? Insurance companies, medical suppli

The sound insulation inside US houses is also terrible. Maybe people wouldn't need so much space if they had some decent sound insulation between rooms. Otherwise it is the simple case of having a better house than your acquaintances and

Mark Cuban's blog post is a nice eye opener on this I think. Olympics being owned by a bunch of swiss bankers makes me just want to avoid it all.

I am surprised serious pirates bother with torrents, as you say Usenet is the easy way to go, buy a subscription. Your only point of failure is if your usenet provider is a front or cooperating with the MPAA

According to the Water Education Foundation, it takes 2,464 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef in California. In contrast, only 25 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat.

Their target audience is not tofu eaters, it's chicken eaters. They put that stuff in to make it close to meat, that was the whole point of the article.

Visit a slaughterhouse and make up your mind. Cruelty to humans is bad, but cruelty to animals is ok? Shouldn't we respect consciousness and the living force even in less developed creatures?

Agreed, we have a lot of things which are wasteful compared to spartan requirements. Definitely a sliding scale of luxury. So what are the real costs of meat eating? 10-50x more water for a meat diet, is that moral or practical superiori

Sure the taking of another creature's life to satisfy one's palate is acceptable to some, however it is unnecessary and I would argue, unethical. I don't think the government should use my tax dollars to directly and indirectly subsidize me

Nice, love the tough questions!

I have to agree with both of these points. Modern society is so insulated to the ethical costs and environmental costs of meat eating. We have no problem taking our children to go strawberry picking to get their food, but how about taking

Curious why they don't have another mid range offering, 5Mb/s free then 1000Mbs at $70 are the only options? I would love something in the $15-$25 range.
