usually it's the publisher of the book that makes the decision. Amazon can actually (and does) print book on demand. Let that sink in for a second. if it was just the RSS reader, nobody would bring this up. Reader, Inbox, Wave, Plus,

this has already been said, but due to the fact that this is google you have no idea when it's going to get killed and most things from google get killed. so i would suggest AWS. API Gateway + Lambda. It's basically free for side-

i believe we are talking about different things. my point is certain markers are easier to test for and more objective than others.

it is a tool. i don’t believe it’s a matter of care or intelligence. it’s just hard to synthesize something that targets one thing we don’t like (cholesterol in this case). sometimes it goes as far as not really understanding the underlying

the experiences you have make who you are. if a drug changes the way you behave it will change how you experience things. so depending to what you are exposed to, it can definitely change who you are. an extreme example for environmental fa

i believe this is taking a little bit too far. it’s about actually measuring/quantifying the effects. when this is hard/really expensive to do I’m sure the decision not to pursue it is made at several levels. in research (and espe

yes and this would not be contested. the same way we are not surprised when the drugs we take have the intended effect. this goes wrong is when the side effects are unexpected or undesirable. as a society we are conditioned to be entitled a

this whole thread bothers me, but not for the usual reasons. 1) everyone is up on their high horses pretending that they somehow have an absolute moral compass that would prevent them from doing any wrong. To me it looks like people over at

the whole point of these spin-offs is that the majority of them will not survive. there are a lot of ideas around aging and it’s really easy to get carried away to the point we throw everything against a wall and see what sticks.

being social and interacting with people is actually beneficial. increasing your stress level by watching mainstream media and consuming regurgitated content probably is not.

there is some research out there that suggests you may live longer if you can actually pull this off.

this is mostly research. there are a lot of things you can do to slow down aging right now - almost orthogonal to your age: sleep 7+ hours per night, hit the gym (mix of cardio+strength), eat high quality food - the less processed the bette

the way i read is it that we have the American Cargo Cult and these are some principles that help explain what it is. E.g. "Good intentions suffice: You can always apologize." When you see everyone just apologizing you internaliz

the point is that if you’re buying a lot of stuff (maybe hoarding) your financials may suffer. she found a way (not excusing her behavior) to make it less impactful to her budget. morals are nice, but i think you need to be off-balance to d

it’s hard to have a moral compass when your stomach is empty. even if that’s not the case you will always have bad actors. always. the question is: who has the right incentives to stop this kind of behavior?

not a big fan of ML but this sounds like the perfect case for it. Amazon could catch people like this pretty easily.

this is 100% speculation, but guessing this came at a time when Rails was on the rise and Bezos saw the potential of it. The terms of the deal are super-favorable to 37signals, so why not?
