Yikes. Questionable source trying to sound scientific. The author is anti-vax, disputes the connection between saturated fats and heart disease, suggests vegitabnoe oil is more dangerous than animal fat; and that vaccines in general cause m

This corresponds with what I've read previously about brain activity following clinical death. What appears to be the case is that the brain continues to work for a period after the heart stops and a last breath is taken. So what that

I always ask myself, in matters philosophical: What would Wittgenstein say? Is this a useless exercise in cognitive copulation, or not?

Of course they do, and this is why medicare for all is a great idea. It strikes me as rather perverse that health care is largely a for-profit business and that even non-profits (like systems associated with religions) are all about cutting

Odd? I don't think so. Just like the Fibonacci sequence appears all over nature, so do other architectures. Evolution has, apparently, standardized on architectural infrastructure - and replicates it across a broad variety of environme

In actual fact, though the new network is experiencing record downloads of new titles like Mulan, it's daily user numbers are abysmal, only 3% of the available market. So their older content is evidently just not appealing, which is a

My wife and I are looking into living in Mexico, if we sold our home in the US, we could afford a small place in Mazatlan for the winter, and in one of the mountain villages for the summer.

This reads a lot like quackery to this former RN & nursing educator. Good nutrition is, of course, a great way to stay healthy, but this article isn't really helpful in that regard.

Disclaimer: Not a hardware engineer, nor a CP/M aficionado (though I definitely remember Gary Kildall), but a former AST Research (later AST Computer) employee. AST was an "expansion board" manufacturer turned systems OEM. Du

Great, (very) deep dive into a well-known cartel. Also a lesson in the power of marketing, advertising & PR. But from 1982... I'd be interested in hearing about contemporary outcomes of the events described.

And still, the rich get richer, the powerful even more so... cutting barbed wire hasn't changed anything. Casts some serious shade on the power of crypto-anarchy to change anything. Anarchy, like libertarianism, are lovely notions with

Great idea. Good luck. I did notice a few grammatical and spelling errors on the homepage. Easily corrected. And, the content reads like a non-English speaker wrote it. Also easily remedied. The initial page needs to reflect the creativit

Nadella has surpassed expectations to date, he has a plan, and is implementing it in a rigorous and competent manner. I expect the next year will be a good one for the "ruffians from Redmond." And I just can't stress enough h

Don't forget that Testosterone "feeds" prostate cancer, and that most men will have one variety of prostate cancer or another by age 75. It's often slow growing, but if one feeds it, a different story. So potential &quot

What greenyoda said is accurate. Don't panic, fight. You should immediately file an assertive response. That's what I did in a similar situation on YouTube not long ago. It only took a day or so for the infringement claim to be di

From my experience, there is a period of about a year from launch (depending, of course, on marketing budget) where sales are pretty consistent - taking into account expected seasonal variations. After that, sales start dipping pretty drama

Homes constructed from standardized shipping containers make a lot of sense on a lot of levels. First, size and spec are standardized. Second, construction is rugged. Third, the size of most containers lends itself to multiple-container con

With all due respect, asking coders to weigh-in on marketing may not be your best move. It may be more productive for you to join some Linked-in software/digital marketing groups, then pose the question there. The simple answers to you
