   I always thought he confounded the Super Size Me experiment by guzzling all that soda. That much High Fructose Corn Syrup alone will give you fatty liver disease. Anyway, RIP Mr. Spurlock. You lived a flawed life but gave us some really int

   I don't see why design needs to have so much impact on whether there are Unit Tests. Most unit tests should be much lower level than anything which would be balanced or user tested out of relevance. You want stuff like "can the pl

   I read that as... "Move Over... Tractor the Farmer wants a Crop Spraying Drone" Which is a sweet name for a farmer, and of course he'd want that.

   Been there as a solo. My advice is be on the constant lookout for the one person that will do all the stuff you are bad at. Find your complement. There’s a reason marriage is ingrained in most cultures. It is too risky and hard and sad to d

   This whole push for mouthguards is being driven by something devious, I'm convinced. There's tons of money to be made. To get a mouthguard is very expensive and requires a lot of custom work from several different providers. The m

    How is this not about fish being in their native ecosystem? There are an infinity of variables we are unaware of. There are no doubt microorganisms in the natural ecosystem that the farmed salmon don't have now which help them retain n

    Weird it is almost as if a single organism doesn't exist in isolation from its ecosystem! Quick, someone write a paper.

    Any time Unity Executives say anything you can be sure it is a ploy to steer users towards their product. In this case, Unity is stronger than Unreal with browser deployment. That’s all it means though. You can wish a wish, but then you hav

    Making this the topic of the next Call of Duty would be a great move for the rainforest and bring a ton of awareness.

    Yeah sorry for the confusion. I just meant that ketones are a result of the diet. >> Regardless, do you feel the microbiome manages to shift that drastically within 24-48 hours? No, but the population doesn't have to change in or

    Ah maybe this is a case of my misusing the word "side effect". What I might have said instead is that the generation of ketones is coincidental with the effects of the diet. I'm hypothesizing that the microbiome mediates the

    IMO ketones are a side effect, not a cause, of any of these improvements. I hypothesize that the actual driver of the improvements is modulation of the microbiome. Keto diets are by definition low in carbs and this starves out certain speci

    I just flew 3 out of 4 legs of a trip on Southwest on Maxes. Happy to report everything went well. Maybe that should be the headline on CNN.

    This feels more like a play for attention than an actual doomsday announcement. The guy is savvy and knows that being in the spotlight right now with AI next to your name is a win.

    There was a moment slightly after mobile F2P took off where the games and tech industries started making out with each other. investors started confusing the two. Money was spent. Truth is that games will always be guesswork and investing i
