I think its more like, "I have no chance of understanding your code, BECAUSE IT'S IN R." The vast majority of R users and I bet 95% of ecologists, can't read and understand R modules. Its the PHP of Data Science. The poi

I could imagine military applications for this... especially if a soldier is armored, carrying a pack, etc.

If you're technical enough... unit tests.

Actually, the entire list of non-essential but beneficial nutrients in Kale are good for you, and not in Soylent. This is the case for many plant foods. Just check wikipedia. However, we haven't identified most phytonutrients in plants

You don't get non-essential phytonutrients from Soylent. The ingredient list isn't that long.

I admit, I was attempting to create controversy to create a thread which would attract viewers. Single, informative comments tend to be less successful here than long threads.

I think most things stand up pretty well to the stomach. Often though, it is the metabolites of any given substance which do the good, so its after they're processed somewhat.

Excluding plants from your diet for any kind of substitute is a bad strategy for a long life. Eat more plants, live longer.

This sounds completely reasonable to me.

I get this. To be honest, I had gastric surgery last year, so my stomach isn't big enough to process enough plants to get basic nutrition. I have to take lots of vitamins, or I will get malnutrition. Why anyone would CHOOSE to have to

Of course. Even if you burst all the cells, the ingredients are stable.

1) Soylent doesn't include the vast library of known life extending phytonutrients. 2) we haven't discovered most of these compounds, we just know plants have them

The one thing we know for sure is that we haven't discovered most of what about fruits and vegetables causes ppl who eat the to live longer. Cutting the two food groups that actually extend life from your diet is the dumbest thin you c

Things in plants other than basic nutrients are what keep you alive, well and free of cancer. Soylent is an obviously horrible idea for your health.

I'm surprised at how effectively the defense painted the incidents of sexism as simple misunderstandings. The book, the dinner, their defense seems effective. Not saying I believe them, just saying they're sort of convincing. Of c

Sometimes I wonder what a booze/pot/acid/ecstasy free me would be like. Binged on all of them as a teenager. Would I be 10% smarter? 20%? More? Better moods?

Considering how cheap office space is compared to labor, the trend of compacting workers into ever tinier cubes (with or without walls) is insane. I wrote about good data science/engineer environments in Agile Data Science (O'Reil

You're right. You might say "most cancers are caused by bad luck," and across the set of types of cancers... that might be the case. But if you were to say, "Most cases of cancer are caused by behavioral or environmental

Wikipedia isn't clear, because many gay rights organizations prefer condoms to Truvada, but there are no examples of transmission while taking Truvada daily. Serious commentators no longer debate Truvada's efficacy.

Once Lenovo was bought by a chinese company... didn't everyone kind of assume the state of China would use this opportunity to do what the NSA does for American hardware? The extent of the NSA's actions weren't known at the t

HIV transmission has been already been stopped with Truvada among high risk populations. Its weird we have coverage of studies like this that don't really note that.

PySpark is really compelling for Pig/Python shops. If it weren't for Pig on Spark, I'd fear for Pig's future.
