I should add that to really know how much you should be taking, you should have your blood levels tested, as different people absorb it differently. Here's a post on William Davis' Heart Scan Blog (oriented toward heart health, which includ

Of course, in A Clockwork Orange, the an/protagonist actually liked classical music. England will now be ravaged by classical loving hellions.

Just curious. What is so bad about Oracle, exactly?

I recently started taking vitamin D and I feel great. I'm more energetic, sleep better, and, yes, feel happier. So that's one data point in favor of your thesis.

It was a joke (I think); like saying "Mozart was the greatest Italian Opera composer." (Also true, imho).

I've yet to notice anything and I'm pretty old, but I also look much younger than I am, so I'm probably not a good data point. I think attitude plays a huge role here. I don't act like I know it all or have nothing to learn because I'm rela

That's sorta cool idea though; much better than questions like "do you know this obscure feature X of some programming language Y, or what does some class EJBServletContainerFoobar do?"

Here's my reverse causality analysis: perhaps it's that those predispositionally disposed towards happiness -- optimistic, for example -- tend to go to college more often (and finish) than unhappy people.

RE: Express 1MX shirts. I buy a fair bit of clothes at Express but I've never been fond of these shirts. They seem to wrinkle excessively and some feel a bit cheap (they're made of varying materials, though. I have one that's fine. YMMV.) I

True in Austin also. Jeans + t-shirts + sneakers are pretty much standard. Causualness is further necessitated by the heat in the summers.

I believe the inertial dampeners also prevent the crew from being squashed against the bulkheads.

Here's Marshall Brain's response: The conventional wisdom says that the economy will create 50 million new jobs to absorb all the unemployed people, but that raises two important questions: What will those new jobs be? They won't be in man

No, I mean, if it is indeed the case that the total number of jobs displaced by automation exceeds those generated by it, I have no particular take on how to handle it.

It's been a worry for a long time, and it's always been false. And therefore it will always be false?

We do, for now, but for every one job created for a software/hardware engineer, several (probably low skill jobs) may be destroyed. Compare the total number of, say, cashiers to software developers.

by msluyter 17y ago
I assume you've been downvoted because there's a somewhat reflexive faith here that new classes of jobs will always be created to fill those that have been taken over by increased automation/productivity. That may be true, but for anyone

I found this somewhat reminiscent of Socrates' paradoxical "All I know is that I know nothing." Or, knowledge of your own incompetence is a sign of competence.

This ad caused more than one girl at our superbowl party to exclaim "OMG I'm going to cry!" By that measure, I think it was quite effective.

There's tons out there. A good start would be "Good Calories, Bad Calories," by Gary Taubes. Here's a good article: http://www.westonaprice.org/The-Double-Danger-of-High-Fructo...

I'll be sure to try this technique... tomorrow. ;)

That wss my thought exactly. Of course, that would be very un-Apple like, but perhaps 3rd parties will release various ergonomic enhancements such as this.

Or maybe the culprit is a corollary of Moore’s Law, the idea of exponential advances in technology over time. That might suggest that innovation and automation displace more and more workers by the time each recession rolls around. This i

How is walking/standing on concrete in these? I find my feet will start hurting if I even simply stand barefoot on a hard surface for any length of time.

There was a very interesting article along similar lines recently, entitled "You Walk Wrong: It took 4 million years of evolution to perfect the human foot. But we’re wrecking it with every step we take.": http://nymag.com/health/features/

Eh, it seems fairly unobjectionable if a bit overly simplistic to me. I did testing for about 7 years prior to dev, and my take is that it a) depends on the size of the team and b) a fully fleshed out QA team needs a variety of skills and f

Well, I suppose a lot of it has to do with online social communities can form around social issues, the power they can exert, and how they can be destroyed. I found it quite interesting, but perhaps it's little borderline.

Yes, I've recently become a vitamin D convert and have learned quite a bit about it through William Davis' Heart Scan Blog: http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/ It turns out that as you age, your ability to absorb vitamin D through sunlight

I was also quite surprised by this, and also that the article didn't mention the other advantage of the myspace pose: it greatly masks weight.

I think you'll see a wide variety of responses here and the only way to know for yourself is to try it. I used Dvorak for 10 years and it worked fairly well for me, though ctrl-c/v is clumsier because you can't do it with the left hand whil
