   I am sick of the recency bias. It turns smart programmers into blackbirds with the "oooh shiny" phenomenon. People are spending more time keeping up with things that just don't matter. I know I certainly spend much less time scouring resear

   Can someone with a physics background explain his theory, and whether his theory has been tested experimentally yet?

   Agreed. I come from a medical background and we have to back everything with evidence. Even though it's computer science, most opinions of software guys tend to be backed up by blog posts or group think unfortunately. I am not sure how many

   I don't know. I'm not saying it would be a good buy! :)

   I think it does, IF your goal is acquisition. Adobe must be their prime target in my opinion, google wouldn't (too much js focus).

   Playing guitar, just like business success are subjective. I consider 37signals, youtube and balsamiq successful and they contain few common elements (except making things people want). When listening to business advice I listen to those th

   Automated ad-hominem ftw. Of course only people who have [define success here] can say smart things about startups and business :)

   Agreed, but read your post again: ...But prevention is not a treatment. You can't raw food your way to a cure to cancer. It just doesn't work. People die because they become so deluded.... "It just doesn't work" is a statement of fact. I sh

    Saying that something is better than something else would surely merit a single clinical trial, showing large effect low p outcomes in favor of chemo vs lifestlye? Can you point to a single study since it is already proven? :) Here are a fe

    Shouldn't you have to back up a bold claim like that with proof though? Conventional treatment is often marginally better than placebo.

    You made a claim that changing your lifestyle cannot possibly cure cancer. Surely the burden of proof is on the claimant? How do you reconcile the growing body of evidence to the contrar?

    Can you cite the studies that show that changing lifestyle (organics + supplementation) doesn't influence cancer outcome? Frankly, I find your know-it-all arrogance shocking, and all that is wrong with the medicine. 90% of doctors I have wo

    I wonder how many people actually use the "free" side of the freemium model in practice. I know I signed up for a ton of apps but never actually used them.

    Got any research links for this? I haven't seen any that would point to BCAA's as a solution for tiredness - I am interested.

    If I couldn't work on things that I love every day I would hate it. I don't know how there are so many todo lists, chat apps, crm and accounting packages out there, I couldn't stand it!

    "Could not find "where did it go?" after downloading (not joking)" I know you are not joking. The company that can solve this problem will have my heart, and probably my wallet if I ever develop desktop software again.

    The key is to not let your kids know they are smart. Challenge them, and encourage failure. Get them outside their comfort zone. Everyone's a "moron" at something. It's those people that have high IQs and think that's enough that I know tha

    I just went to slimtimer. They are obviously trying to get businesses as customers. Their opening line: All your timesheets are belong to us. (it does rotate) I agree, it's funny, but see you later!

    Goal: beat twitter. Outcome: fail. You can change the goal post-outcome, but it doesn't change what really happened.

    It's not abnormal. In rails I have deployed to a customer in 12 hours, starting from scratch. I was using my own framework though. In gwt, I have done this in ~24 hours. These weren't simple apps either, not just scaffolding, but had comple
