What you saw might have been ball lightning. A friend and I saw one when we were kids. I only came to find out what it was many years later. From the distance it looked no different than an airplane light until it got really close, around 3

I don't think "black-box" algorithms are the problem per se. In this case the system was doomed from the get-go by using biased and flawed input attributes. What I find very problematic in the use of automated systems for fra

+1 to choosing a routine you can stick to. Routines like 5x5 can be ok for some but I'm not sure it is a good idea to put most beginners in low rep range workouts before they can learn the movements. Probably best to work on the 8-12 r

What you said is probably 80% of the way. I would also be interested in more research about individual responses to food. There's some evidence blood glucose levels vary considerably between individuals consuming the same food: https:

One way of looking at it is your_impact = your_contribution * number_of_users. If you work for a mega corp chances are your contribution is small so you would be better off in a small(er) company. The more I work as a programmer the more I
