There really need to be more studies on the effects of nicotine in isolation from all the other chemicals in cigarettes. There have been studies that have shown that the MAOIs in tobacco interact with nicotine pretty strongly in creating

Are you predicting it will bottom at 300 before launching into another growth phase, or that it will remain closer to 300 thereafter? I think the latter is naive. I think bitcoin is the first currency whose perpetual deflation is ensured by

I was going to mention Lost Boys. That book provided my first exposure to an account of the life of a computer programmer, even if the character was fictional.

You may find it interesting that there's a guy in California who died in prison under the three strikes law for attempting to steal a candy bar, because a petty theft can be prosecuted as a felony for people with previous thefts. Anoth

Your speculation definitely resonates with me. I always had a hard time sitting still and paying attention in class if I was hungry. For whatever reason, if I've gone a little bit too long without eating enough, I end up experiencing s

Given the abundance of links about Soylent that get posted to HN, I can't believe this point hasn't been brought up yet: Calcium. Studies have shown it blocks the absorption of Iron and Zinc. At least one even indicates that the c
