The people who work at Microsoft are just regular humans, too, you know. Why does it make you so gleeful to hear this?

You go on actual dates with women you meet from Tinder? Edit: It's an electronic meat market... c'mon. Don't make it too hard. Just say you have Netflix = done.

This script also has an unintended consequence: it can roughly measure how attractive you are to the population. Assuming that everyone you auto-swipe will also respond (and truthfully, not using this script) this could give you some very s

Wait... are you actually, genuinely afraid of being downvoted? It's okay to be wrong sometimes, dude! Sometimes being very wrong is the only way to learn and help you further down the road. You win some, you lose some. If you're a

Very interesting. I indeed have Crohn's, not IBS. I thought they would be more closely related, but this article [1] from the CCFA has made me change my mind a little bit... [1] http://www.ccfa.org/resources/ibs-an

Wow, that's a pretty amazing amount of fiber and a great success story. I would caution applying this advice to everyone, though. As anyone who has a lot of intestinal inflammation can tell you very quickly: fiber is like steel wool dr

@Graeme (can't reply double-nested): I just found it to be very bland, boring and depressing. Chicken and rice, rice and chicken, tuna, rice crackers, blah. Go to the printer room in your office and start chewing on the printer paper&#

Breaking: people invest money in things that interest or could benefit them. I can see what you're saying but your own personal (subjective) opinions about corporations may be clouding your reasoning.

I have Crohn's and I did the FODMAP diet when I had very severe symptoms. What I found: it does actually work and remediated a lot of my severe abdominal pain centered around eating (in conjunction with medication) BUT... I also found

So? Danone makes yogurts with probiotics. I think they might be interested in knowing if there is any value to a diet <=> mood connection. If you would take your head out of the sand you'd know that lots of research is funded by

C is constipation. D is diarrhea. I have Crohn's and didn't know these either, but Google was my friend. I personally don't distinguish. Diarrhea largely affects individuals who have Crohn's in the colon (not me) due to

I have Crohn's disease (similar) and you have a good point. In reality it's a vicious feedback loop where 1) you get stressed out 2) your symptoms flare as a result of stress 3) you get more stressed out because of the symptoms. W

Discreet = careful and circumspect in one's speech or actions, especially in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage. Discrete = individually separate and distinct. This one always gets me, especially in a mathy/tec

Yeah, that too. I think women have already figured out cheaper/easier solutions than this.

I analyzed this pretty critically with my girlfriend who is sitting right next to me and had heard of them before. She agreed that there was definitely a demand for this product, but that 1) the cost was too high 2) she would rather just bu

You just write, "Available on OS X and Linux" (or using the logos if that's your style). Simple, professional, conveys the message without drawing flak for being some angsty kid.

I agree. They are quite cool but they are solving a problem I never had. If I had a bunch of money laying around and was bored I would buy these but not otherwise.

That website doesn't have the same thread ordering as the homepage on the real thing, or it seems to be delayed... if you pull up both in parallel you'll see it quite obviously...

Subway service would do wonders but knowing Seattle it will never happen.

Yeah, but you don't have to deal with it every single day. Metro offers pretty horrendous bus service especially considering their cost per passenger one of the highest in the country. Recently voters thwacked a measure seeking more fu

Funny how Seattle was left out of the comparison to other PNW cities. I'm not surprised... Seattle's transportation situation is abysmal.

I'm not interested in the political side of this whatsoever, but you have to realize that Mother Jones is about as non-partisan as the National Review is[1] and is not going to convince those who would like a more neutral view. I'

Awesome comment and I think totally right. Another great example is Google Glass and "glassholes" or Scoble in the shower and how that intensely negative social image tanked the mainstream appeal of the device in many ways. Sure t
