Seriously, no need to be so sensationalist. All comment had to say is some top body builders are vegan. Even some notable NFL players are/have been vegan. Even then, they go out of their way to get enough protein - I think the person

This is an especially cynical and petty comment, and that's coming from someone who isn't exactly a glass is half full type of person. As someone who's launched several ventures, this solves a big pain point and it is very ap

Yeah - I recently had a conversation with a biologist - a profession that I don't normally have the opportunity to interact with. She used to work for Caltrans and once I learned what she did it really shed a little light on why these

Great article. The only part that I hesitated with was the part about getting through to real people. After reading a post like this, not sure how hiring managers (or their team) are going to feel about getting inundated with emails from ca

I'm not a huge yelp fan. I think there are elements of their product that are done sloppily, and I even dislike some yelpers that I've personally interacted with. That said, it would be nice if someone presented some evidence to b

Agree to disagree I guess. I always buy hubs/docking stations anyway - you can run 2 5k displays off that tiny macbook (don't think you can with the MBA, could be wrong) and thunderbolt has good speed for all your peripherals. For

As a side note, it's amazing to see that despite everyone ragging on apple and claiming superiority to them, they all copy their advertising style. The copy on the google pixel site and this site are both very obviously apple-ish. edit
