You are answering different, irrelevant problem. "Why is an individual obese and how to fix it?" is different from "why is the population obese and how to fix it?".

The number might sound "big" to the uninitiated but due to the mechanics of leg press it's less impressive than being able to get out of bed. There is no way this guy has ever lifted anything.

When you eat, choose a plant based option instead of meat option. How did that affect at all your "work" towards improving your treatment of other humans?

Why is intelligence a relevant quality regarding whether it's ok to torture and kill someone for pleasure? What about humans that are not intelligent, is it ok to torture and kill them for pleasure?

I think I didn't mention meat anywhere. I am actually vegan. There are a lot of plant foods that are relatively high in calories, vitamins, minerals, fat and protein which I mentioned: fruits, nuts, legumes, grains, potatoes, berries a

Plain vegetables are not palatable because they have very little nutritional value, like saw dust. If you were as rewarded for eating vegetables as you are for foods with actual nutritional value you would quickly be malnourished. If you at

Thanks for the helpful tips! Can definitely implement some of these. Especially enjoyed the piece on data - we've got quite a bit of data that could probably make for some cool reports.

Well, looking fast through the resource, I'd say it's perfect for those selling services or products through Bitcoin. There must be a lot of clients asking "How do I pay with Bitcoin?". Now you just give them this link a

I habitually do <= checks for things that should never be below 0 because I'm paranoid like that. I don't think it's good practice, but I keep doing it.

Kudos to these app experts. The dude I'd probably listen to most is Paul Kemp, known for The App Guy Podcast. He had an influencer on his show last year talking about Blockchain technology. I guess we'll have to wait (yet) another

Every digestable carb will turn into glucose eventually, all that matters is how fast this happens because you want to minimize time spent at high blood glucose levels. Sugars generally digest faster than starches but this is not always tru

This is a thing you can just infer. If it takes 100ms CPU time to process 10 promises and 1 request involves creating 10 promises, the server can then only handle 100 requests per second at theoretical max. IO time doesn't matter as mu

This is not the same at all. Any error in any of the callbacks is not catchable with one catch statement (you need separate try catch statement in every one of your callbacks). With async/await and promises, you only need one catch sta

async/await is tiny amount of sugar over generators and promises (virtually the only thing that changes is `yield` -> `await` and `function*` -> `async function`), not callbacks.

Startup speed is terrible with that approach, each browserified module adds like 10x more code as boilerplate than something like isArray implementation would take. Then every module dependency is resolved dynamically at runtime, which will
