I've been trying to be low carb for the last couple years and I think it's overall gone well, but I really struggle with what to eat still. I hear your points about protein, cheese, and nuts, but then what do you eat? Can you lis

TBH the FDA is the least of the various hurdles to get a great biotech going. The FDA has (surprise) largely been spot on. Theranos is just a fraud. If you are not risk tolerant that's fine, it's a reasonable position. But, th

You can disable that stuff. Once you turn learning off you can use it either as a normal thermostat or as a pre-programmed one. I actually use our Nest as a normal thermostat that just looks great and can connect with my phone. It's

Seems like people and companies are already starting to address the cost issues to make this a more accessible and scalable process. I'm thinking of things like DNAnexus to help with the computational stuff. Also surprising they didn't me

Handwriting a to do list is also way faster since you don't have to worry about app switching, typos getting corrected to the wrong word, and random occasional slowdowns that always seem to happen right when I really need my phone to work.

Both are unfortunate bugs. The iPhone one is the one that burned me and my wife and many people at work. I'm sure the Android one is real too, but I don't know anyone who has been affected yet.
