At the time I rode my motorcycle through a midwestern winter, it was because I was living off $5-6k a year and living on my own. I was profoundly impoverished. But your assumptions about my status in being a yuppie like you are noted. >

Most of the developing world, when it has a motor vehicle at all, it's a scooter or motorcycle. So no, it's not a first-world problem to ride a two-wheeled vehicle in bad weather because you can't afford a car. Try visiting Southeast Asia o

I've motorcycled in a mid-western winter. It is dangerous in ways you cannot possibly comprehend. Sweating in a suit is a first world problem. Try riding on a two-wheeled motor vehicle on ice in the presence of traffic. I'll stick to Califo

Tbqh, this kills the bay area for me, socially speaking. NYC was way...way better in this respect.

Lots of prozac? I'd love to know how you have the patience for this. CSS seems like something invented by a secret cabal trying to invent a whole new job description out of thin-air.

You really don't seem like you have had to implement a lot of CSS in the context of a spec or design.

I'm pretty sure Java in general is a good graveyard to check for "what not to do" save for choice libs like NIO, Netty, etc.

You're right, but it's frustrating to have people dismiss an entire field of research out-of-hand just because they read a book. Or two.

I already have a frontend engineer considering switching to native iOS and Android apps just so he can get away from CSS. I am not exaggerating, that is 99% the reason for his desire to abandon ship. He complains about CSS daily despite b

I really, really appreciate your response. The micro-religion fanatics were causing me to question why I even bother.

Lets roll in the science-mobile and discuss real, concrete things. 1. Not eating carbs has nothing to do with our hunter-gatherer origins, there are no over-arching truisms that can be made about the macronutrient distribution of how hunter

Portion control is actually one of the primary issues, less so than the actual food being eaten. Many people will eat relatively healthy, but due to poor satiety or portion control, still gain weight.

Sorry, there was a bit of sampling bias there. Most of the juicers I know will lean heavily on juicing fruits, not vegetables/leafy things, for the sake of flavor. It's fine to juice things, especially if it helps you to get vegetables in y

>The things paleo and the various low-carb diets do is give a structure around how to reduce those carbs, especially in a culture that worships the ultra-refined, processed-thrice, almost-straight-sugar carbohydrate. So we replace one r

I go with what the PhDs doing the on-the-ground weight-loss studies say, not the anecdote of some person on the internet who's read a book or two. Programmers hate it when people question them, you'd think they'd extend the same professiona

Bit of a strawman, nobody takes the pritikin diet seriously either. The place and purpose of healthy fats is well understood.

I'd say portion control is a bigger problem than any of the things you just listed. The amount of effort it takes your digestive system to process raw chicken vs. cooked chicken is obviously different, but the fact that they chose to focus

Taubes isn't taken seriously by most dieticians and nutrition researchers we talk to (I work at a nutrition startup). I'd say that if there is any value to Taubes, it is this: Different foods, given the same calories, will fill you up or no

My impression was that they were only using half of that campus and that was when I visited somewhat recently. I'm not sure what the objective is here.

That's a nice straw man, but that's not the median for the US. Not even for bay area white collars is that reasonably the median, given how expensive houses are here. Most rent unless they're past 30-40 or won the startup lottery.

Due to the Nintendo 3DS, not their core Wii product. Sony and Microsoft have bled billions year after year while Nintendo raked it in, a single year's loss is nothing in comparison.

Nintendo is massively more profitable at the moment than Sony or Microsoft, how are you measuring erosion here?
