It's not about me subsidizing others, I understand how insurance works it's about disproportionate risk. There isn't an emphasis on creating change in society to encourage people to live lifestyles that needlessly expose them to risk, and b

I found this article really interesting but the author didn't talk about promoting wellness which seems to be a very taboo topic in the U.S. I'm vegan (which reduces heart disease and cancer risks), I don't smoke and I exercise moderately.

This is a really interesting article. The author(1) looks at the reasoning behind healthcare rationing and suggests that it isn't as bad as it appears. Essentially he suggests that it's easy to find media-friendly stories of how rationing h

The author does point out in the article that those pills cost less in Britain (for example) because the market is based around the "cost-effectiveness" of treatments. As such many treatments are cheaper in order to come in under the limit

The general essence of his book was start a dubious internet business which fools gullible people into parting with their money such as selling unregulated herbal supplements. Aside from the impact on your karma it can also be considered fr

Slightly off-topic, but, was I the only person slightly disturbed about the rant about the 3D printers being American made machines? Maybe it's because I'm British (living in SF) but I still find that kind of patriotism smacks more of jingo

I'd thought about building this but threw it out when I figured I couldn't get my various devices to talk through it to Twitter. Computer, sure that's easy: fix your host to api.twitter.com, but fixing all the iPhone apps to point to this s

Does anyone know enough to pick highlights out of the release note? I like Wireshark as a tool but I'm hardly an expert.

I think this topic applies to any work-a-holic, startup or not. The question I have is though, is working all the time really the most productive for your startup? Sure people can work all the hours that god sends but they can't do it indef

The site is gorgeous but the hidden navigation sucks it really needs some hints. I thought the underlining for email was decorative until I read the comments here and fiddled about looking for Twitter options. Some kind of tool tip might he

It would be slick if it figured out their approximate Kyu/Dan from watching them play. Not sure how you'd do that.

I think this is very interesting but also somewhat misleading. Her traditional media connections, e.g. her label, helped her accumulate 30k fans on Twitter which she can then leverage in interesting ways. Not that this isn't interesting. Ho

The question is not if it's valid or invalid (which is another debate) but rather is it faster or slower. I'd like to see Google provide facts and figures. When Steve Souders worked at Yahoo! a large part of recommendations were backed up b

For some more practical advice, this is the point of using crumbs, kids. If you pass a unique verifiable value with your request you can avoid this sort of thing. This is also true of any GET request that can change user data (which you sho

I didn't find this particularly interesting, personally. It is a detailed model kit, but there wasn't anything novel that sparked my interest. All commentary is in Japanese so that didn't help me, a non Japanese speaker, either.

I love the print_r function I found this because I was searching specifically for that. On the other hand, I do not need the curmudgeonly array functions. Why anyone would want to recreate the frustrating hell of having to know which array

I cooked up something for YQL so you can try it in the YQL console: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=select%20*%20from%... Use either documentContent or documentURL to specify what you want to use. I quite enjoyed trying War and
