So can you tell us what you did for the land/property part? Your Twitter profile says Asheville. How far is this from the city? Were there zoning issues?

A main point of the article argued against there being a meaningful distinction between whole and "non-whole" foods, but you've assumed there is. A main component of Soylent is rice protein -- do you think using just the ri

The notebook format looks similar to Mathematica. Using Mathematica, I found it did indeed solve the problems mentioned in the article (e.g., having to choose names for graphs), but led to its own problems (e.g., I would organize graphs by

There's mention of the "myth of calories in vs calories out", implying the relevant changes were not calorie-related, but there's no mention of typical exercise nor calorie intake before or during the month long experime

From the article: "And to this day, we’ve never posted any content." They haven't built a brand (or denied her anonymity), just the empty space should she decide herself to build it.

With regard to Facebook (what the article focused on), the right generalization seems to be that virtual social networks do, in fact, largely reflect actual social networks https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-data-t

It seems authors too need to opt in (again from keltex's comment).

Nice! It always seemed odd that buying the paper version shouldn't also entitle me to the electronic version, or at least a significant discount.

Well, the tacit assumption that "more gun control" means "fewer guns" is a more substantive problem. I think other "Harvard studies" (Hemenway) show, in fact, that fewer guns correlate with LESS homicide. htt

Note the title of the article in the link has changed (after a comment there) to "more gun regulation correlates to more violence", which is quite a bit different from less guns correlate to more violence (the current title here).

To be clear, I think gold is inferior as a currency compared to modern (fiat) money. I was comparing it to other goods-of-value (livestock, clothes, food, etc.) I know very little about the Inca, and make no claim about them. I'm mer

Uh, isn't the primary purpose of Twitter to make your posts PUBLIC? Edit: I guess the focus is on the private messaging aspect, which I never use. Perhaps this is more popular than I realize.

It may be that the Inca never used gold as currency, but it would be hard to substantiate that claim, I would think. The reason the Spanish valued it as currency is not because of some quirk of the Spanish, however -- it's univerally

It's possible, in principle, that this "transaction" was the first of its kind in Inca civilization and only happened to involve gold because that's what the Spanish wanted. But since gold is the quintessential commodity

The story of Atahualpa’s Ransom ( http://latinamericanhistory.about.com/od/theconquestofperu/p... ) -- the king offered a ransom of gold -- seems to cast doubt on the claim the Incans didn't have money.

Conceiving the universe as the "output of a computer program" seems like an empty idea, as computation depends on a physical substrate (its laws of physics). It leads to an infinite regress: What laws of physics govern that physic
