Must I have a degree in the field of research related to this study in order to have a valid opinion on the torment, suffering, and eventual euthanization of 20 innocent monkeys?

This is pretty sickening. I have spent a lot of time around various monkey species, including the Rhesus Macaque, and the amount of emotional awareness and sensitivity they have is comparable to that in humans. To subject such intelligent a

White's moves #10 and #11 make no sense to me. Move 10: he could have taken the advanced bishop with a pawn and that rook would have still been up for grabs in step 11. Move 11: again he could have taken the bishop, this time with his

Though there is mention of the "startup visa" in the article, which applies to people from non-NAFTA countries as well. Though not sure how it works for hiring talent.

How does one live frugally when rent is sometimes 60-70% of your income? Plus taxes in California are comparable to those in Quebec, but health care isn't covered.

This confuses me too! The first time I ever heard about Solyent, it was this guy who decided to live on it for 30 days. I guess it generates better press than: "I occasionally eat Solyent in moderation, and it's pretty good".

The author is actually coming out mostly in favour of Soylent. The title asks a question and the article tries to answer it.

I'm missing the link between his introduction about corn and soy and his core thesis of supporting crop rotation. Is he saying that supporting these less glamorous crops will somehow reduce the global intake of factory-farmed corn and

Speaking of cameras, doesn't BART have cameras pretty much everywhere on trains and platforms? Surely that would be useful evidence in her defence.

I have to disagree. Designers who can actually write serious code are rare unicorns and can typically demand a higher salary because of it. I wouldn't downplay my design skills (if I had any). I'm not sure what your pay grade is a

Actually if you had read the article fully, you'd have realized that the person mentioned at the end of the article was a co-founder, not the main subject of the article. This guy was living in his car not an RV.

Yeah, the article could have done without that part and still stood upon its core argument. I think the author intended to start out with a little flattery to soften the blow, but it just comes across as patronizing and/or a bit outdat
