"sceptical about the taste of seaweed having being in Japan..." Thanks for settling that then! Nori is just the start. Kombu, a seaweed, is the basis of most soup broths in Japanese cooking, since it has a savory flavor. It wou

And this is why there are prescription sugar pills available. Give the patient something, but don't give in to their stupidity.

Maybe if a patient demands pills, fine, the patient has already been brainwashed and lost and you have to give them what they want or you will get a bad score. Yet whenever I visit a doctor for some minor issue, I have never asked for antib

Hmm. I bought a small container of pure stevia powder from Whole Foods, and it has a little tiny spoon I'd say about 1/20th a teaspoon. Put even that small amount in a cup of tea and it is as sweet as a whole packet of sugar.

In all the negativity of the article, you could easily miss the fact that Cuba has higher life expectancy than all the countries you mention except Chile, and lower violent crime rates by far, universal health care, and universal education.

There is no LAND crisis. There is a crisis of failure to build adequate number of multi-family multi-story structures. Replace all the decrepit almost dead 2 story apartments in SF with 10 story apartments and there would be no crisis wha

I was more concerned with the apparent dependence on proving that people use specific nicknames known to be used by some suspect. I must be missing some detail.

Political leaders cannot advocate alternatives like a guaranteed income for everyone, only so long as the people fail to demand such measures. The history of technology is a long progression of jobs that we don't have to do anymore, fr

Walking down the street in SF near the Caltrain station, right on the street in a parking space I saw a huge pile of discarded construction of waste wood, with exposed nails and sharp edges. In any city with functioning cleaning services,

You worked at some companies that had foreign workers, I get that. Since most companies forbid employees from discussing salary with your co-workers, exactly how do you know they were getting paid less than they were worth? Also, I don&#x2

Could you elaborate about the fr/us move causing shorter days? Most u.s. software companies seem obsessed with long hours.

That all sounds very nice, but the Fukushima reactor material is still above ground and totally at risk of explosion and entry into the atmosphere if it is not continually water cooled. The cooling water has contaminated the entire nearby

Your comment clarified exactly what is so willfully foolish about this whole enterprise. "he wants a future where everyone has vast knowledge and a wide set of skills, and everyone has his own CNC multimachines, robots, all that"

Profound. Thank you for sharing this. It pains me to read though that you had years of abnormal symptoms (severe shortness of breath, migraines, etc) and the medical system was unable to detect the issue early. This seems like the sort o

I read recently, maybe even on HN, an article suggesting that children under [i forget, 3? 5?] should not be exposed to 2d screens at all, because their neural model of the physical world is still in development. Food for thought.

I'll leave aside the meta commentary on your (unneccessary) downvote comment. Facetime is what makes it possible for me to stay in touch with my family on the other side of the planet, and that's even if I'm sitting out in a

How is it ethical to distribute this without first disclosing to apple and waiting for a fix at least a few days?

Any japanese company can get a visa for a programmer incredibly easily just by filling out a form and submitting some documentation. Very different situation from elsewhere.

This whole discussion, both in the article and in the comments, comes from a perspective that the only options are doing something that pays, and sitting around doing nothing. And sadly that may be the case, but it doesn't have to be

That is a lazy retort to make against someone who has listed specific grievances with a specific place. If you are thinking of moving someplace different but cannot think of anything specific wrong with the current place, yes that is a clas

I feel like Objective-C is so close in spirit to Smalltalk, and with each syntax revision gets closer and closer, yet the utter simplicity of replacing "[foo: bar];" with "foo bar." I suspect will never happen. Too shoc
