Very interesting, thank you! For a while I was running in the 30-60 minute range and my gut was getting more and more irritable over time. Your experience lines up with the research I found - that intense, prolonged or overly frequent exerc

Can I ask for more details on how you are exercising - frequency, duration, any special tips? I have mild IBS-D but find that running sometimes seems to exacerbate my symptoms. I've found research pointing both ways on this.

No worries at all! I'm in the same boat. FYI some patience is needed as it apparently takes 3-6 months for changes in vitamin D input to make its way into the bloodstream and show effects [1]. I've just started supplementing 5000

Related to this topic, if you have IBS/IBD, some interesting research been coming out in the last couple of years indicating that low vitamin D may play a role in this issue as well. This [1] 2015 study found 82% of people with IBS had

The game is available here for anyone interested - http://events.google.com/alphago2017/ It's a half-point win which doesn't seem like a lot, but AlphaGo is intentionally taking lower-risk paths to lock down

I think this goes to the heart of the problem. I've noticed that the root cause of my procrastination is usually fear/anxiety about failure. What do you find works for managing your daily anxiety levels?

Nice work! I might pay for a version of this to get our graphic designer off using Xcode (my app uses an art/config format which can be pulled from a web server). Especially if it could help them quickly test results on multiple device

This was a good call. eBay has just officially denied that the user data is theirs [1], and there are claims online that the data was from a separate previous breach [2]. This is almost definitely a scam. [1] http://www.digitalne

I really like this analysis as well - can I ask where the "standard advice" comes from? And if it's from an MBA, what school? I haven't seen this kind of quantified strategizing taught before; I've been winging it and would love to pick up

I'm really hoping this doesn't come out as an attack too, but instead as an extra datapoint for your business. I agree with OP's perception. When I hear the phrase "tinfoil security" the word associations that come to mind don't really sell

There's a large grey area between "illegal" and "immoral" though. And the legal system has a long history of playing catchup to changes in public mores, and being dictated by people who don't have the public interest at heart (slavery/segre

Isn't this the same problem as nuclear knowledge regulation though? We definitely need some controls here, but the government doesn't need to control everything big brother style. Just a few specific items within a few domains of knowledg

I noticed this too. My theory is it's brand image-building to differentiate their enterprise offerings from say, Accenture or Deloitte. Most of their revenue currently comes from enterprise software and hardware. To a 50-year-old C[EI]O who

I bought one of these in Shanghai last year! Sadly I only realised it was acting strange when I got back from vacation (It had a perfect plastic casing, labels, little paper manual; we even tested it in store!). From my googling at the time

The mechanism proposed by the authors actually explained an interesting pattern for me - why people destroy value to signal superiority. Having lots of value (possessions, money, social capital) is already a hard-to-falsify social signal. B

Hmmm. Could this possibly be something to do with US supercomputer export controls? Don't know much about this but a quick google showed that the US has been tightening controls lately. I wonder what people are using supercomputers for in t

Strangely enough I've used pretty much every single product you mention. I might rebut: 1. GH/RB vs Bemani: Guitar Freaks only had 3 buttons versus 5 in Guitar Hero. Also the home versions of BM/GF/DM/DDR were always poor copies of the arca

This is true. I did high school in Western Australia, where your university admission is determined by a percentile scaled factoring in your peers' scores, school and other information. It's complex but the end result is a very fair system.

Agreed, this is a great book. I'm working through this right now and finding it very rewarding. It's very information-dense, has very little fluff, and is still surprisingly easy to work through.

I agree. It's inspiring to believe and act like anyone can do anything. But this boils down to the nature-nurture debate - how much of what you do is "built in"? Experimentally this always seems to come out in the 30-70% range. Given evolu

You say that like it's a bad thing, but couldn't you then determine the profitable niche segments and run with those? It's getting cheaper and cheaper to make a show. And distribution isn't limited to TV channels - online, DVD... That fits
