Ten day water fast sounds like a great way to die of a starvation-induced heart attack. What is the significance behind ten days of starvation? Why not 1 or 2 or 3? 10 sounds 100% arbitrary.

I wouldn't make that conclusion. The alkaline diet is based on some really suspect science. Testing the pH of your urine in order to determine the overall pH of your body is flawed. Believing that your body even has an overall pH is fl

This has always been my assumption. If Watson did anything close to how it's advertised, IBM would have a big competitive advantage by actually using it.

Does IBM itself even "use" Watson?

It's exhausting to see all these big corporations and individuals getting away with absolute insanity. Get caught, fight hard in court to get the prosecutors to agree to a settlement... then have the old PR team release some garbage fo

Are you that dense? That gullible to believe the PR from big company XYZ who had just gotten caught illegally smuggling artifacts from a warn-torn region of the world? Did you not read the part of the article "The acquisition of the Ar

No to all questions. An app that uses redux poorly becomes slow. Naive devs then claim redux makes their app slow. Propeelu using reselect solves a lot of the problems.

I have the same childhood memories. Mid 90's - Mid 2000s: We did a 10 hour road trip twice every summer to visit family, and always joked about how the car had a mustache because the front bumper was peppered with bugs. 2007/2011

It's an outlier. That's not deniable. It doesn't disprove the fact that agriculture lead to cities in so many other places... technically agriculture may not have been a prerequisite to cities, because of this one exception..

If true, it might not be agriculture that lead to all cities, but the abundance of food that did (which is more common in agriculture-backed societies). Maybe this was just a particularly good spot for hunting and gathering over a long peri

One area in the world where society may have evolved differently doesnt seem to be enough evidence to debunk the idea that the agricultural revolution gave rise to cities. Isn't this just an outlier... if it even does predate agricultu

"it's the worst decision you can make for your user" - Is it? Because there are a lot of Slack users who don't care at all about your tradeoffs. Most of them don't even notice. We're just the unfortunate ones w

The best perf improvement for slack is to disable animated images in the Accessibility Settings... this also removes some of the fun from Slack. I have suggested to them that they should have a setting to only play gifs when they're ho

My Nokia Lumia 920 had an fm radio.... I loved that feature of it. I used to listen to local radio/sports radio stations on the way home from work without using my data (public transit, no wifi).
