If denying something could make it untrue just think of the possiblities. Poverty poof gone. Hunger poof gone and so on... Reality gets in the way, of course, just as it does with GW.

Ten to twenty minutes of quiet meditation is a nice stress reliever but an hour or longer is just wasted time.

If the demand for corn drops because of a ban on HFCs, most of the corn farmers would just find some other crop to plant or planet more varieties that are used for other things.

"green is just sensible irrespective of the actual facts." I totally agree with this position. There are numerous benefits to developing better clean air/water standards. The climate "work" has been on going for decades. The science support

To each their own. I have looked it from both sides. The real-climate science camp seems genuinely concerned about causes and consequence of global warming. The other camp, call them deniers, skeptics, or whatever are more concerned about m

by lacrossegm 17y ago
Exactly right. The fervent nature of global warming denial-ism drives people to go to great lengths to undermine the real science and delay action.

Water is more important than food. A person can go a long time without food, but will die without water in just a few days time. I would observe what the local animals seem to be eating. Another trick is to take a sample and rub a bit of it

I'm not so sure about the science. This quote is taken from the wiki article on Gary Taubes "Although Taubes has no formal training in nutrition or medicine, his book was praised as "raising interesting and valuable points" by Dr. Andrew We

I was referring to concepts presented in "The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite" by David Kessler. Of course, I wouldn't expect a lot of people on HN to agree, thus the down-votes. A lot of the food indus

American obsesity can correlated to eating too much salt, sugar and fat. Fast food makes it cheap and easy to get into a pattern where a significant portion of your daily intake is essentially a combination of sugar (soda, coffee, tea, etc)

I've read a book that started with the author thanking God for granting him the insights presented in the book. Some of the more militant atheist might be offended by that. I just skipped past it and dug into the actual content, which wasn'

I'm not sure how relevant this is to HN. I know a lot of good engineers that are creationists. It doesn't seem to keep them from producing good work. Its more important for scientist and teachers I should think. edit: Don't get me wrong. I

This is true but we're a lot closer to isolating the nutrients that support memory and delay aging. You can also play "brain games" to stimulate neural activity and develop better memory recall, even with people over 50.

by lacrossegm 17y ago
There is a reality to aging, that's just something we can't escape. We can take measures to stay healthy and young in mind. Of course, experience and wisdom are good attributes to have too.

by lacrossegm 17y ago
Should we start looking into techniques for keeping the mind and body young? One measure would probably be how quickly you can learn new technologies and methods for getting work done. As I get older, I'm always trying to learn something ne

You cannot fix something that you don't know is broken. Programming languages can have flaws just like anything else. Unless someone points them out they'll never be fixed. The idea that there is a single perfect language for doing everythi

The whole line has been marred by the them continuing the ship buggy processors with the bios work-around. Would you buy another Phenom if you had the misfortune of getting one of these?

The top listed performance/price AMD processor is known to be buggy, which is why it's so cheap. People that are buying the high-end systems are usually people who play PC games competitively. Intel is also making compilers that are optimiz

There's a reason why the AMD Phenom X4 9750 has the best cost to performance ratio. http://techreport.com/articles.x/14424
