I have lost quite a lot of weight recently, and went out of obese to normal weight range for now. I do think that there is a clear difference between 'I should cut back on the cakes'-type overweight, and 'I have inadequate co

I have to agree with you, but I wonder will it ever be feasible to really understand that in a way that helps individuals? There's an amazing amount of hidden complexity. For me this experiment is a testament to the variety of human individ

I have found http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ My fitness pal to be the best choice for calorie counting. This is mostly because it keeps the records accessible on the web as well as through the app, and because it has the largest and most div

For me, the blame lies principally with the CPS and the Police, who should have exercised their judgment and not prosecuted.

There are other HIIT techniques, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_train... and I gather a common problem with the model is that you have to squeeze the real intensity out of each session, which can be hard. It's also

I like the article but I wonder a little about the figures. He seems to assume that the extra research measures push the likelihood of a successful mars mission from 90% to 95%. I think this underestimates the complexity of the problem. Two

Best of luck with it! My experience is that the hardest errors are the ones that happen when the system appears to run perfectly :) It may not be a browser error, but a communication one.

I suspect $1 is too low, especially if the 6 month theory is correct. I imagine users more likely to pay 5 or 10 dollars because the perceived value of the product is higher, making it more attractive. I feel at $1 the user might think that

Hi, thanks for an interesting article. I'm curious about the user experience they had -- did users use the tool successfully? Do you have a measure of their average stay or actions? I'd be interested to know if some arrived thinking it did

Why does it say "July, 1869" at the bottom? Were they using the same set of questions for 30 years, or was it put in the library 30 years after it was used?

This article is very interesting. The iTunes example in particular shows that these measures have to be transparent or they won't work very well. I think this was very much Microsoft's vision for Livemesh; they were thinking about desktop

This is a creative idea, but I have a few suggestions. 1) Penmanship is a key thing with this, I suppose if it looks too professional that could be a problem, but the note in the sample seems like the lines are bunched and skewed. 2) One qu
