I cook breakfast for my kids every morning. We eat together every night. For lunch, I'm at work and I typically microwave some junk and get on with more important things. For me, it'd be nice to have another solution for the mid-d

One of the many challenges in science is that there is no publication outlet for experiments that just didn't pan out. If you do an experiment and don't find statistical significance, there aren't many journals that want to p

If I get anything, it'd probably be an XBOX One. I have little kids who suck at using a controller to do anything. But they had a blast at a friend's house jumping around doing the little Kinect games (e.g. popping bubbles). The n

This is "signaling." Companies are not allowed to meet and align their strategies. E.g. car rental companies can't get together and agree to raise their rates 10% next year. (A few years back I think Budget got in trouble for

I'd put more stock in nutrition researchers if their advice was remotely consistent from decade to decade.

Part of the appeal of Soylent is that you don't have to juice the carrots, cook the oatmeal, or scramble the eggs.

They tried to get on Kickstarter. Kickstarter didn't want them because Soylent is not a "creative" product.

I don't just want any old rom. I want the one Google is using for its version of the S4. Is this likely to be available? (Apologies if this is basic stuff for the Android experts--I'm still figuring things out.)

I have an S4. Does anybody know if I'll be able to remove Samsung's software and go completely google? I'd be happy to ditch touchwiz and the junk Samsung put on the phone to get the full Google/Android experience.

It seems odd that it's more expensive to stream music than it is movies. At least you get the latest content, I suppose, rather than movie streamings' limited content.

The routine in the NY Times doesn't seem like snake oil. Jumping jacks and push-ups? Hardly revolutionary. It's not like their were promoting strange supplements or buying expensive fitness equipment.

I wonder if he'll talk. If he is treated like a normal citizen, he doesn't have to say a single thing to the officers conducting the investigation.

I think R's biggest strength of R is the package ecosystem. I would not trade the large community of active package developers for slightly friendlier syntax.

I've heard it described as ritualized warfare. Yes, it's violent. Every player knows that going into the game. That being said, I think the NFL needs to take additional steps to make it safer, because players at all levels look to the NFL o

I don't think lack of injury is a great measure of a sport's quality. Otherwise, speed walking would have to be one of the greatest sports out there. Compared to speed walking, those soccer players are savages.

I went used car shopping two weeks ago. I was genuinely looking for a car, but the social scientist inside of me was equally curious to observe the sales tactics. I understood many of their tactics to try to get me to sell myself the car. B

I'm taking a different Coursera course right now. I completed the first homework assignment on my own, but I would have loved to see how other people solved the problem. I definitely felt like I had some ugly hacks in my solution. Posting s

But worth $200 and lock-in for 2 more years? Probably not for me. My ATT contract I got with the iPhone 4 just expired. The iPhone 5 specs don't make me want to fork out the cash and get locked into another 2 year contract. I'll wait to see

Maybe in the past there was more of a distinction between online resources and peers, but today I think the line is quite blurred. Would a thoughtful online discussion of the students enrolled in the class be considered an online resource,

My grandfather had Alzheimer's for over a decade. It was always the goal to give him the best care. When possible, the family took care of him. But it's taxing. Eventually, my grandfather--not a violent person at all--started to become viol

That demo actually made me excited. It was really great work. I wished their on-stage demo could have built off of that energy.

I loved how he said something to the effect of, "Now, your friends can play music in your living room." Then, the dramatic pause as he waited for the audience reaction. Honestly, it seemed like the audience felt bad for him and bailed him o

I did something similar, except I used old cardboard boxes I found around my house. In the end, I gave it up. My neck and shoulders felt good, but I could feel the blood pooling up in my legs and feet. It just wasn't comfortable. I think so

I don't think drug legalization is the final answer the problem of cartels. Like the article says, '“The goal of these folks is not to sell drugs,” Tony Placido, who was the top intelligence official at the D.E.A. until he retired last year

I don't think it's just a matter of authorization. I think you would have to use something like anti-forgery tokens to prevent automated scripting of http requests.

I think I have a stricter definition of evidence. I saw a lot of arguments (many that I agree with generally), but not anything I would call evidence. If he wants to prove what he is saying is true, show the empirical evidence. A lot of peo

The official blog says you can buy 100 GB for $4.99 a month. If I go to my google accounts settings page to try to buy it, itsays 200 GB for $50 a year. Something is not lined up correctly. I'd pay $50 right now and get rid of Carbonite if
