   Amazing how many people apparently are happy with this different take on starting a business. HN really is a start-up bubble. Most IT businesses are started without external funding. It makes you grow slower, but that's not as big of a

   I think you refer to this article: The Opioid Epidemic Hits The European Union [1]. Note that the title of that article contradicts the contents though. There is a big difference between the current opioid epidemic in the US, and an 'i

   In the real world you cannot invent new elements, so it's hard to find an alternative for gold. Unfortunately everybody can create Bitcoin alternatives. That's the big difference between gold and Bitcoin.

   There are scientists who claim psychopathy can be detected on brain scans. And since 1-4% of the population are estimated to be psychopaths (most of which end up in prison, and the rest works their way up in society), this could well be a

    I ran a hosting company in the nineties. My experience: in those days everybody needed speed. Hardware was underpowered and number of hits unexpected. Connection pooling was either unknown, or very new, in any case, not enabled by default.

    You are using strong language and being downvoted, but there is plenty of research available on ketosis. Personally I think you are partly right too. Like the tobacco industry, which knew all to well about the damaging effects, but tried to

    Supposedly what happens is when your body isn't repairing some defects that occasionally happen, and scar tissue grows and other stuff sticks to it. But typing on my phone, and too busy to provide more references. You can start in the

    And taking some extra salt and water per day. 2 cups of broth does it for me. No more keto flu. Note that keto flu only occurs when your body is switching from carbs to fat, but disappears when your body is keto-adapted.

    Carbs clogging arteries? That's not what I said. Low carb diet lowered my weight by 25 lbs, made my GERD disappear, no more taking omeprazol 'for the rest of my life', my gallbladder stopped acting up, and I have more energy

    You have to be doing it really wrong to get there though. OTOH it's always a good idea to research it before starting something.

    GP describes the keto diet, which worked for me too. About the cholesterol, better read up on it. The hype about cholesterol has gone out of control. There are multiple types of it, and earlier research wasn't as conclusive as everybod

    There are many documented cases of obese people not eating at all for weeks or months. As long as particular basic needs are taken care of (water, vitamins, minerals), you can live off your own body fat. That's what it's there fo

    Coming from The Netherlands to live in the US for a while, I found the same. It seems like just everything contains more high-fructose corm syrup, and tastes sweeter. Even all breads.

    I'm from the Netherlands, in my fifties, but haven't heard of anything like this here. A quick Google of the Dutch internet also turned up nothing.

    I remember my father cleaning the windshield and head lights at the gas station to remove dead insects every time he filled up the tank. That was in the sixties. I almost never do that.

    But your ISP owns you. They will charge YouTube and Amazon as well. You'll end up paying $120/Mo for your connection again.
