Assuming legalization continues its progress: I'm looking forward to Christiania being able to return to its artistic vision without the drug tourism. A legal, age-verified, purchasing process would help a lot of places get out from un

By definition any kind of merger or aquisition is gonna get you closer to an anti-trust investigation. That said: anti-trust is all about monopoly and abuse of monopoly power. Expanding into connected markets is desirable, abusing monopo

I know that Netflix is making some pretty nice bank, and has a very high valuation, but I find it shocking that they're still independent and that Amazon (or whoever owns HBO these days), hasn't made it their lifes mission to take

There may be two effects going in parallel, but: for chronic migraine sufferers reducing blood pressure can be effective in reducing attack frequency, and ketogenic (and other very low carb diets), can reduce blood pressure frequently. Blo

Along the same lines: chronic migraine sufferers can sometimes have good results at reducing frequency by lowering the blood pressure. A low carb diet, or ketogenic diet, can cause lowered blood pressure. The only downside with diet instea

The difference, IMO, is that you're generally leveraging the cloud providers platform in addition to using their hosting. There are ways to make the hosting relatively agnostic, but choosing a pub/sub solution (for example), tha

A potent argument for legalization of opiates, IMO. Something as simple as concentration percentages on packaging, as we have with booze, and smart usage pamphlets could save a lot of lives.

AFAIK, the primary issue with too much protein on keto (gluconeogenisis) isn't the change in blood glucose, but rather that GNG blocks ketosis . That's the opposite of the diets goals, is an easy issue for people to incur while t

Unrestrainable appetite has a natural answer: dietary fat. Food cravings, hunger pangs, insatiable demands to scarf things: that's often the dark side of an insulin cycle where carbohydrates play a determinative role. But barring issu

I do the opposite: dinner time to a bit before bed-time. Easy routine, no gross co-worker lunch smells, and I'm always eating planned meals I prepare. Better a hot steak than something reheated at work, IME.
