I think the table on the Wikipedia page is misleading. The first paragraph states: "Food consumption refers to the amount of food available for human consumption as estimated by the FAO Food Balance Sheets. However the actual food con

Something is off in these numbers. There are 9000 calories in a kilogram of fat. If Americans were really eating 1700 calories more than required each day they would be gaining around 1.3kg/week (about 3 pounds). Of course, given th

No more late Friday fixes Am I alone in not liking this line? I don't see the correlation with code review. I initially thought this site was yet another "prevent drunken code commits" tool, which I'm not at all inte

Ah yes, I forgot about grappling sports. BJJ does look like great fun as long as you are not required to get the cauliflower ears. I once had a friend "demo" it to me by challenging me to punch or kick him. By the end of the de

For the most part, I think people want a workout to follow, they want to be part of a gym, and they want fellow sufferers and coaches to motivate them. I don't think the motivation for people doing CrossFit is worded correctly. Peop

Entirely my fault, very sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

Although this is not really possible entirely from the user-side I'd be happy to help getting your projects setup on Authorea. Generally speaking, importing an existing project creates a new git repo on Authorea which can then be mirr

That's the difference between the mean and the median. The median profit for a game is probably much closer to your number, but the mean is the average of all the games like yours (there are many) plus the rare game that makes $10 mil

There is a quick back of the envelope calculation that we can do to understand this better. The force due to drag on an object is described by the following equation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation ): F = (1

I've always found the relative impact velocity of the foam piece with respect to the shuttle quite surprising. There is some clarification of this in the CAIB report, chapter 3, page 60 ( http://www.nasa.gov/columbia&#x

That's the thing, in all my stints in regular gyms I never made friends. It isn't normal to strike up a conversation with the guy (or even worse the girl) lifting next to you. I can see the motivation if you have a group of frie

Like other people have said, this is better than nothing, but I think the real direction workouts should go is towards being fun. I never workout per say, but I spend a good share of my free time doing fun stuff (in my case mostly boulderi

As a long-time mediocre sax-player, this is pretty interesting. Also, incredibly beautiful work and I would love to play around on it. However, I'm not sure that making the saxophone more logical in terms of fingering results in a be

I just don't like being forced to do things. Facebook wanted me to add some more info, which I hate, but at least they let me click 'next' a bunch of times and then it was over with. Quora has done a good job figuring out wh

It actually got me to stop using Quora. I signed up a few years back and enjoyed the weekly digest, which was often quite good at finding questions I might want to read. One day I'm asked to select 5 topics when all I want to do is r

The problem with getting scientists to publish their data is that the incentives are not aligned properly. Clearly it is better for science in general, but the benefit to the scientist publishing the data is less clear. For what it's

I'm not sure pizza is the greatest choice of measurement. In most European countries, there is no such thing as a large or small pizza, there is simply pizza, and it is intended for one person. The crust is very thin compared to Amer
