Although "selectively promoting" seems like a pretty mild conspiracy theory, I agree with you on the whole conspiracy theory angle. That kind of supporting evidence almost always lowers believability of the rest of an overall argument. Th

To summarize: fish oil is a polyunsaturated fat which has been experimentally shown to cause shrinking of the brain and gonads in animals as well as early aging. While there are short term benefits to using fish oil we still don't truly kn

I linked this in a previous HN thread but thought having a thread with its own comments would be interesting.

I got a really nice citrus press - http://www.amazon.com/Breville-800CPXL-Die-Cast-Stainless-St... . I make orange juice with breakfast every morning and this will cut juicing time from 5-15 minutes to 2 depending on how many I'm juicing

It doesn't say in the TC article and I can't really tell from this thread. How long was Amazon actually down?

I've used linode for a couple of years now and I've been very very happy with them. I use dnsmadeeasy for critical projects even though Linode has their own custom dns you can use, just to keep it separate.

I'm not sure if he mentions it in the article I linked but there's a podcast ( http://eluv.podbean.com/2008/10/10/eluv-live-interview-with-... ) where he talks extensively about oil (coconut in particular) and he touches on fish oil and wha

While this isn't directly about the article, anyone who regularly takes fish oil should read "The Great Fish Oil Experiment" by Ray Peat at http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/fishoil.shtml . That linked article goes in to way too much de

For some good reading on the subject, check out Ray Peat's article "Glycemia, starch, and sugar in context" at http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/glycemia.shtml . While not specifically about sugars, the Weston Price book is a good read

I think it would have been interesting to have had the participants rate how they felt with energy levels and other factors during these experiments.

I'm not disputing the design of the package but I'm wondering how this is happening to so many people? When I got the droid the Verizon employee took it out of the box, activated it, configured it, and a few other things. They also handed m

I can't recommend Domo highly enough: http://www.okdomo.com/ . Great to work with, incredible design, fairly priced, and they can work with Rails/Django templates easy enough.

I'd switch from olive oil to coconut oil if possible -- much healthier. Olive oil still has about 10% pufa in it. Check out http://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail?pid=27477 for more info.

I can't recommend this book highly enough: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583870067 . Get an exercise ball (duraball is the best) and you can do a ton of work outs from your house. The dieting recommendations in the book are a bit out-d

As I understand it, you can hook up specific credit cards and addresses to different phrases. I use it to say "business visa" or "bankcard" for quick check-outs.

The UCF/Disney incubator was pretty good when I went through it. They require you to take a (8 or 12 week, I don't remember) course that goes through every aspect of starting a business. One thing to note about this is that it's not speci

I'll bite. Use the right tool for the job. I think that's what things have always boiled down to. It just so happened that sql was the right tool for the job a lot of the time in the web app space. It still is. But now we're at a place

"I like to spend free time wrenching on a car or a bike, but I don't set out on Saturday morning and say "I'm going to learn how to use a torque wrench today, because those things are the future of tools"." That one made me laugh.

This is why I record screencasts for anything that could possibly go wrong in a live presentation. This also frees you from having to remember exactly everything you wanted to do in which order. You only need to remember what you're narrat

I'm not sure I totally agree with you on the 37Signals comment. I think it's actually refreshing to see that they are posting a counter point to the cash-out posts we've been seeing lately on other blogs. I doubt that some of the crew over

I wouldn't say I actively contribute. However, I do contribute when I need something done. For example, I need Spree (open source Rails e-commerce) to handle s3 downloads so I created and open sourced the s3 download extension. I needed
