I think the point is that the treatment leaves you with a ton less energy and hunger and power, etc. Otherwise there really is no point in skipping the treatment.

For me #1 is easy. Screw writing and reading, instead travel around the word, jump from planes, swim with sharks and die in months. 100% better then daily visits to a hospital for a handful of years. What I, and a lot of people like me, are

Interesting concept. It is true that most government research funding is conservative. And private big co. R&D funding is rarely focused on basic research. This aim to specifically fund high risk science is a very interesting idea. What

Webcam, skype, daily stand-up. And also agree with Daniel, there is a powerful simplicity in post-it notes. Automated tools on the other hand never improve your process. At best, at best they automate it and everything that is currently

And it still chooses the dumbest things as my defaults. Youtube? I've never, ever clicked on Youtube from there. Ever. But I bet most people who visit do exactly that. A long time ago Google was all about people like us, but this has not

Could be. But as an evolutionary psychology fan myself this is one area where I would expect social conditioning to play a very large role.

Similarly, one article published without adequate editing/fact-checking can do wonders to destroy the credibility of a blog... Try reading an article on anything you are an expert in, from any newspaper.

It is a broad rule and I gave on the article because I could not see any of the image. I was about to white list the site when I realized that using Ad Block Plus and NoScript for years has resulted in me experiencing a significantly differ

Google jealously guards their PageRank algorithm because it "represents core business value". Given how popular Google bombing has been over the years, and SEO now, can PageRank's functioning still be considered "secret"?

The demand to pitch or meet a VC is far greater then VCs.

I don't think it's that interesting. Buffett knows what he's doing. And we all know that the wast majority of managed funds perform worse then index funds. And Buffett did not bet on any one hedge fund, which might actually outperform. He

Another interesting feature: there are plenty of 'funding advisors' that can help connecting you to a right VC[1] for a fee Same in the US. I think Massachusetts might have a law against it? But as another Eastern European currently in th

There's rewrites and there's rewrites. I think what Joel is against is the starting from scratch rewrite, I agree with him on this. But I don't think Joel is against a slow, one line at a time, working on the old code base rewrite. It is no

Strictly speaking, you can get a list of files in the directory. i.e., opendir() and readdir() will not return "Permission denied". However, you can't access any of the files within the directory. Yes, and this is commonly used for the pa

Nobody thinks of Switzerland as fighting evil. In general people don't look admirably on neutrality. Even less so when it's neutrality most of the time, but not so neutral when it aids my goals. Obviously there's nothing wrong with Google b

It might be just my home and work connections and their latency, but for me the auto-complete has hugely slowed down my searches. I type rather fast (as you can tell by all the typos in my posts) and today I type something in and then wait

Nah, the real problem is just that other degrees, MBA, Law, etc, are just plain easier AND result in higher social status plus frequently more money. Maybe in-demand engineers make more than the average lawyer, not sure about that. Maybe an

Currently Google offers me the ability to change the background image on the Google home page. How about the ability to use something like Google "classic" with the old way of using the + sign? Hide it as an off-home page selection, that wa

Seriously, there is nothing more powerful than a switchboard full of angry constituents. And the sad reality is that there are not nearly enough of us angry about this to fill the switchboard. --EDIT-- I depressed myself and wanted to add

My apologies, but I can't resist playing with national stereotypes: German vs. Brazilian (Portuguese) I think the best English approximation of the German version is: Steady water drills the stone. First we see that the German at once descr

Fortunately, I have my account registered with a spamtrap email address, a username/password that I have never used elsewhere, and a very low limit credit card. Same here. But I am a bit sad that my paranoia has been confirmed yet again.

So I am actually far less concerned about a computer doing my job very well, which is actually looking at a piece of tissue on a slide and making a tumor versus not-tumor distinction. This is very hard to do and I think will continue to be

This should not be surprising for anyone who understand software. And software identifying breast and skin and other cancers is going to continue getting better. Now the bad news is that human medicine moves super slowly due to very strict

I don't think very many plants can pull water from the air. And in areas where there aren't any plants that should be even less of a problem. And I think that much like wind turbines, you'd need a serious lot of these to make a noticeable

Humans do get nearly all of their mineral requirements from food. But if you sweat a lot and are drinking a lot of water, and don't take in enough electrolytes, you can quickly get into serious trouble. This is why factories in the south
