I hadn't seen that essay before. It seems very dated since the emergence of Google. Many of the problems that he implies are fundamentally insurmountable have been largely addressed by modern search engines.

Seriously, what percentage of your meals are "tasty new food in the company of others" vs mundane fare eaten to get a meal in? Are you missing that much if you don't have your scrambled eggs most mornings or skip that mediocr

I had some acid reflux from Soylent about 2/3 of the time. This decreased as I continued to use it and then has gone away completely now that I put a bunch of protein powder and coconut oil in it to get a protein/fat/carb ba

Make sure you check out http://www.reddit.com/r/soylent/ and the resources there. Lots of people are experimenting with variations of the Soylent formula/concept.

I've gotten some great information from that reddit subgroup, especially on some of the variants of Soylent that people have created. I have some Keto Chow on order to see how that goes.

Soylent 1.4 has a grainy/nutty taste, similar to almond milk with oats. If you like those flavors, then you'll probably like Soylent. I spike mine with a healthy amount of chocolate protein powder (Isopure) and coconut oil since

While your are correct in a fundamental physics way, you might be ignoring the details of human chemistry and its resulting psychology impact. There's are reasons for the relatively recent obesity epidemic. Those reasons are rooted i

It doesn't matter what coping techniques they used. What matters is that they accomplished the task in a way that showed increased discipline. Additionally, the marshmallow study isn't the only research that shows this effect.

I think that the research shows that self-discipline (or delayed gratification) is the single best indicator of future success in life. http://jamesclear.com/delayed-gratification

"Do what you love" is incomplete. It's "Do what you love that allows you to make some kind of a living". If I had just done what I loved out of high school, I would have watched TV between efforts to get together w

Everyone has an opportunity to vote for more than just a party. There are primary elections where specific candidates with specific policy positions can be selected. Unfortunately, most voters don't bother getting involved with the p

Meh, programs suicide all the time when they access memory locations not in their space. The contentious nature of consciousness is in the "makes the decision" part of your statement, suicide is pretty mundane as far as decisions

It's like exercise. The benefits are pretty obvious and enjoyable when you're doing it, but putting forth the effort isn't always easy. I actually try to combine the two practices. I have an exercise bike and I meditate whi

Disclaimer: I'm only speaking of my own perspective and goals. Meditation has been about a lot more than just feeling relaxed. It's been about gaining insight into how my mind works and gaining some measure of control over my tho

I really enjoyed that book and Harris' approach to meditation. Since Harris is a neuroscientist and an atheist, there's no mysticism in the book. No talk about "feeling the energy". In addition to the meditation inform

I don't think the WSJ is claiming that all of Europe shares the same food and language. The notion of a culture can be contextually scoped and only include commonalities across that scope. You could talk about a US culture. You coul

The US has a different notion of who owns personal data than Germany or Europe in general. In the US, the collector of your personal data owns it, more or less. Notice that in this case, the FTC is attempting to use the court's approv

You just triggered my earliest Radio Shack memories of being annoyed at a company for asking for my personal information when making small purchases. Radio Shack was definitely in the vanguard of data collection.

Many online forums resolve the problem you mention by showing your vote. Disqus, for example, simply shows the up arrow button in a blue highlight if you've already upvoted the comment.

Same here. We've had a leaf for about 8 months now and love it. We're in a suburban setting where most of our mileage is shuttling teenage kids to/from school and other activities. If your range needs are a match, it'

I was curious about this. I guess the protesters were blocking traffic? Maybe the people following in the back didn't realize what the people in the front had done in terms of blocking off the street. The followers then were among t

It's really hard to point the finger at just one source, such as the execution of the drug war itself. Maybe the citizens of the USA just aren't serious enough about eliminating drug use, which leads to the election of leaders who

If he were sending a standard printed resume through the mail then you might have a point. This online version is something different and I doubt that anyone looking for talent would disqualify him for having his picture on there.

What does it say about the balance of power in a society where the media is completely unable to fend off relentless attacks on its sovereignty? This is a very slippery slope that we're on.

Is there a need to twist what I said? I didn't generalize the cops or the protesters. The poster to whom I was replying stated that the cops "helped start the riots" by throwing objects. I pointed out the problem with that
