peanut allergies are really only common in the west. weirdly, there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between parts of the world that eat peanuts regularly and those that don't wrt childhood peanut allergies - peanuts are s

but this wouldn't prove anything about UBI, as a previous person commented this isn' cash therefore isn't an income. I support the idea don't get me wrong. but basic income it is not (unless there is some sort of seconda

It's possible the role is fluid because he's being groomed to take the company over from Jack. I don't think anyone can argue that Jack is doing a good job as CEO but Biz would carry some of the same goodwill that put Jack in

parts aren't the whole, and it's completely justifiable to say "you might be doing this for the right reasons but this particular action is wrong". distrust in a process isn't distrust of the entire agency.

not sure why this is downvoted - Intel was ranked #1 in at least one major VC rankings list for like 3 years in a row (2012-2015ish). not sure how they have done recently but for a while they were def at the top.

Did you actually read the complaints? There are two that seem reasonable (copied data and number to treat) and one that goes off on a tangent citing supreme court cases on patient harm and sexual abuse. As far as harm let me be clear - the

You're not even making rational arguments, you're vilifying a procedure you happen to dislike. The fact is that the entire medical community agrees there are benefits to either approach, so letting parents decide is the more reaso

Categorically false. I have a newborn boy and talked to a number of doctors about it - there is actually a slight benefit to the circumcised child [1], it just isn't enough for the American Association of Pediatrics to recommend it out

Amazon's free cash flow (at least by their own definition, which I'm not attempting to debate) is tied to operating efficiency above all else. for Uber to pull the same trick it appears the only place Uber could start making more

absolutely agreed on vim-adventures. I generally play the game once a year or so out of pure enjoyment as well as a way to remind myself of all the areas where I'm getting lazy or relying too much on a plugin!

would like to point out that the author has not only built a tool that is making a bunch of people happy, but is also responding brilliantly to all comments with a super helpful tone. very cool all around.

I'm glad it gives you faith, because for me it does the opposite. It makes me long for the days where people in this community took an open mind and could entertain the idea that they might not know everything about everything. I think

eh, I sorta share the sentiment. I really like the format of "Learn X in Y minutes" but I'd love if Y could be anywhere from 5 minutes to one month. but yeah, big words.

it'll be an interesting experiment - if you can't have free speech without abuse then I assume the site will take off. for now, I'm completely happy to have people like Milo entertaining themselves somewhere that isn't T

In fact, you can use Chrome plugins for Opera. It's basically Chrome with a slightly different feature set.

Very well put. Personally, I'm a big fan of rent control as a general concept but I think what people are missing is that rent control isn't actually a solution for this specific problem. Home prices aren't being driven up

the solution isn't black and white and Color doesn't act like it should be. they provide licensed genetic counsellors (free of cost) to contextualize your results.

thanks for that, explains why my local market won't take bushels of corn as payment. seriously though, sometimes investors are also given terms that assume said investor will help out in ways other than writing a check.

many friends let him invest in their company, not one (that I know of) found any use for him outside of dumb money and maybe a shout out on his podcast.

I actually think the former would be more within in the spirit of Taleb's book. software is the result of a complex, sometimes problematic process and not every piece of software needs to be antifragile. when bugs or system outages pop

scarcity has never brought the price of anything down. your idea only works if the freaks could still live here, which they can't (mostly due to prices). why not support a bill that allows everyone a space?

the author doesn't seem to know much about how the internet works, quite frankly. they assume that there's some inherent level of privacy in any chat that isn't e-to-e encrypted. for instance, with FB: "With M, you are s

in 1993 Exxon was the world's most valuable company with a market cap of roughly $80B. they didn't reappear as the most valuable company again until 2007 with a valuation of roughly $500B. yeah, big swings are still possible even

not saying that these people don't exist, I've just never seen a controlled study to investigate whether they really can eat more and not gain weight. anecdotally I know these people as well, I just don't trust anecdotal evid

you can define `__using__` any way you want, and phoenix's default isn't technically any different. it's just a convention that you can choose to use or not, personally I try to rip out a lot of what the `web.ex` file does be

it's entirely possible that I learned the framework pretty early on and not keeping up with small API changes has made it seem more complex than it needs to be. I seem to remember earlier documentation using a lot of render calls direc
