Being high in cholesterol doesn't necessarily mean they need to be omitted. Look up Japanese egg consumption & see the country's relative good health.

Everything seems to be 'dipping' including bootstrap and others. Seems like an npm glitch?

Nuclear power may be kicking the can down the road, but burning coal is just leaving the can for our immediate offspring already in their 20s and 30s. The article says least-cost, we're fresh out of perfect solutions.

In the post-trump era, right wing complaints against an organisation aren't necessarily a sign that that organisation is doing a good thing. Complaints from the factions in power in the UK at the moment are usually just a sign that the

What a strange comment. Do you think she's an actor and/or wrong for trying to make a stand and make people think about reducing carbon emissions? Also, I think going straight to the 'oh, well clearly she thinks everyone need

Yes, there's a big difference between riding the zeitgeist and actually influencing it. There is something oddly nice about an older person saying "Oh, just like Sheldon!" (or sometimes Moss from the IT Crowd) if I mention du

Apparently modesty isn't that heritable. If you think the world's problems are going to be solved by your one wunderkind, rather than investing time and money in the already considerable number of intelligent people on the planet

This seems really dumb to me. There are still plenty of people who use cash (old and young) and ATMs installed by super markets and banks cost almost nothing to run and only generate value for the installer by increasing the chance people w

The key word you used here is "probably". No-one will ever know because he was vaporized before anyone got a chance to assess the situation. This is why we have trials.

The trouble with blowing a hole in the tube somewhere to re-pressurise is that whatever is inside the hole is hit by a wall of air travelling somewhere around the speed of sound. There are a LOT of problems with hyperloop not limited to so

Nutritionally I see what you mean and definitely agree, people are taller than they used to be and until recently have lived longer. But all of the benefits a nutritionally diverse and rich diet brings are easily undone (and more) by also

You say eating healthier, but obesity and diabetes are at all time highs in most of the western world, I don't think it's that cut and dry.

Yes, I think you're right, it's probably better to be known for your 1 or 2 high quality hits and take a few losses overall, than to be known for low quality shows. That on top of the fact they can use data to minimise the risk mu

I thought this number seemed absolutely nuts to begin with, but actually, given their ~100 million subscribers, it's pretty much inline with what the BBC might spend in the same sort of set up. As an observer, what still seems odd to m

Is there any way to actually measure this? Not the bounce rate of women leaving, but the reasons they do. You say it's the 'toxic culture' but is there any metric to measure it? We need some sort of exit poll data for peopl

I think the author has read that Tesla use "deep learning" to make their auto pilot more accurate and presumed that that means a deep learning algorithm is running in the car. What I would guess what they do is run deep learning a

I do appreciate that there is a lot of public good being done with the information, my comment came off more doom-and-gloomy than I had hoped. It just seems a bit risky to me, its the sort of thing that can't really be anonymous and t

This sort of data is exactly what I would not want to entrust to any organisation in the midst of all of the leaks and hacks we are seeing in the news. Let alone having them sell it legally to god knows who... I remember reading about a ha

It was actually very common for statues from ancient Mediterranean civilisations to have their genitalia knocked off by later, more conservative peoples. There are many in museums today which have been defaced by order of Pope Pius IX and

This is clearly unsubstantiated - the benefits of coffee are very clearly outlined. Maybe some people who drinks too much are experiencing the withdrawal, but if you do not over-do it, there is a 90% chance of feeling more alert when you d

There's an enormous difference between banning things with direct links to the murder of more than 6 million people, in the hope that no-one gets hurt in the years immediately after the event, and the banning of a word which hurt tens

I still only use cash everywhere it is possible to do so. Handing over a physical wad of cash or breaking into a £20 note is a mentally painful barrier that stops me spending any more than I have to. For me at least, handing over a piece

Yes, they did, it took humanity 100, 000 years. I would like Africa to develop faster than that. Money expedites the process.

Suggesting that people living in a mud hut in Uganda can realistically reach a better standard of life simply through working, displays an astonishingly blinkered view of the world. The majority of people there don't have access to re
