I totally agree. The ash injection approach seems like a temporary emergency solution.

I wonder if a bigger version of this could be built to inject a cloud of ash into the atmosphere to help mitigate climate change [1]. [1] https://www.ted.com/talks/david_keith_s_surprising_ideas_on_...

Great video. Very much in line with Allan Savory's plan to reverse climate change: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_worl... . Instead of planting trees and pruning he uses rotating herds of a

Vegan-friendly simply means it is plant-based and doesn't use animal products. I would have preferred plant-based but does it really matter? This company is saving lives! It's diverting money from consumers of the on-demand econom

My dad ran a freight forwarding business for 25 years. They still use paper and fax. Half the office space is dedicated to cabinets of storage for paper files. Their main technology is an ancient IBM mainframe. Flexport is really going to c

What a great idea. Maybe this is what will keep corporate interests out of scientific research, as there's more transparency and diversity in funding sources. I'm willing to bet the reproducibility rate for these studies will be m

Every food pretty much follows a Gaussian curve in terms of benefit. There's an ideal amount, with too little being bad, and too much being bad. All plants have some form of natural toxin as a defense against being eaten. Even broccoli

Yes, this would be awesome. But what if the person accidentally burns their hand while welding? That's why one of AirBnB's highest execs is a lawyer.

Investors aren't the only ones who missed out. I'm sure a lot of potential early employees did too based on the 2008 homepage design. I know I did. Joe asked me if I'd be interested in developing their iPhone app, but I rejec

Janine Benyus talks about this in her TED talk Biomimicry in action: http://www.ted.com/talks/janine_benyus_biomimicry_in_action . We should look to nature before designing things since it may have already solved the pr

You bring up a very good point. I guess it's important to understand that paleo isn't an attempt to copy a hunter-gatherer diet as that would be impossible today. It's an attempt to get as close to it as we can with today&#x2

I'd love to see a study like that as well. And you're right, not all trans fats are bad. There’s a good trans-fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that is mainly found in meat and dairy from pastured ruminants. Grass-fed catt

As someone who's been paleo for over 6 years, this makes me very happy. I believe the paleo community had a lot to do with raising awareness of beneficial fats, promoting pasture-raised meat, and coconut oil and butter over industrial

This article personally resonates with me as a South Asian-American who has a father with heart disease. There are multiple reasons for this. 1) A very high carb diet that isn't suited to sedentary lifestyles. Not just traditional food

Skipping dinner would work too. I don't know which is more optimal. Skipping breakfast just works better for me.

by shanev 11y ago
An easy way to fast frequently is to just skip breakfast everyday. Then you automatically get a 16+ hour fast and keep your eating to a short window during the day. This helps kick in autophagy [1], a process whereby our cells repair themse

My very first iPhone app was a Yelp client called Places. It launched on day one of the App Store. I worked closely with Yelp on the app, sending them screenshots, talking about API limits, etc. They never told me that they were also workin

Goes to show that us humans aren't the best at making everything. Wish I thought of this when studying nanotechnology in grad school.

Beautiful. I love the "low boys" which predated hi-hats. I should add a vintage kit to my app Drum Kit.

Good to see an article about an indie developer doing well in the age of funded startup hype. I too have been living off the success of my app Drum Kit since 2008. No longer making 5 figures a month, but it did for a few years :)

I think nanotech will bring about it's own problems. What we should be doing is addressing the cause of antibiotic resistance in the first place, namely the overprescription of antibiotics, and their improper use in industrial farming.

I think we'll be seeing more research like this in the future, where we develop drugs by mimicking nature instead of starting from scratch in the lab. Nature has had a few millions of years more to build and test things.

The first iOS app I ever made was also named Places. Except it was a Yelp client, before I knew there would be an official Yelp app.
