I don't, I have a BS in Biology and these kind of disruptive ideas are exciting to me. After spending years studying biochemistry and nutrition, I realize that a lot of evidence is out there is crap. Nutrition isn't some old-guard field w

In my personal experience, optimal nutrition creates what I would, in jest, refer to as "superpowers". When I compare my mental and physical state under optimal conditions to under poor conditions, there is a dramatic difference in me. This

That doesn't mean that there isn't something you can put in to get the best results for yourself. My point is that there are likely very many things you can put in to achieve a similar optimal result.

You sound like an industry-insider explaining why a new startup will fail. "They're too young!" "They don't have the experience" "We've devoted our LIVES to figuring this out, one kid in his basement didn't do it in a few weeks!" Etc etc No

If you could not work but still get all of the benefits that work gives you (salary, stability, etc), would you continue to work? Would you decide, maybe I'll work just once a week? No one is saying that eating is a waste of time. The OP sa

Honestly, my bookmarks are a dramatically better resource than Google for many things. Remember: Google is full of SEO optimized bullshit and the highest links are generally the ones that want to be highest and not necessarily the best. Or,

I feel like you're making an unfair comparison between fiction and non-fiction. But isn't fiction the same as nonfiction? I don't only read a small set of nonfiction books that come from a pointed search on a single subject. I read what is

Cultivate connections with people you know and trust, rely on their connections instead of trying to force connections with people you don't know. The power of linked in isn't building a giant list of everyone who is related to you, it's bu

Yes, sites whose main audience may view it from those limited connections should devote resources to ensuring that they can access it from limited connections. I clearly stated exactly that in my first original post in this thread . I said

You're telling me that you actually believe that developers at Microsoft pick and choose what features they include in a browser? You can blame software designers at Microsoft for that decision (or lack of decision), but I'm fairly sure tha

Eh the Nexus 4 is a good chunk smaller than the Note, doesn't have a Wacom based pen digitizer built in and doesn't support LTE. I guess I'm paying for the features I wanted with a currency made of "waiting for updates".
