Serious question: why hasn't the idea been aggressively discredited then? That would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

Hmm. Interesting. So there is absolutely no basis to a reptilian brain component thingie?

Well a reptilian brain is what he means :) Aren't reptiles common ancestors?

People do present it or use it as a scientific fact.

How is it a widely-held theory? It hasn't stood up to scrutiny, at least any well documented tests. It is sorta misleading, in fact, because a lot of good authors and speakers assume it as a well known fact and add their leaps of imagi

Seconded. In fact, most if not all apps let you login upon sign-up instantly deferring the e-mail verification to anytime in the next 15 days .

Within the bounds of that article, the author's points are fairly valid. I mean he hasn't emphasized piggybacking as the one ring to rule them all . For a new startup these are good lessons to learn from. Of course, there is alwa

Off topic, but did they get an engineer to write the content? "Thanks to its world-renowned, tri-core, wafer thin CPU with full chocolate coverage." If this is intentional sarcasm it is tasteless (pun intended)

The only reason people don't exercise is because they don't. I don't know of a genuine reason to not be able to spare 20 minutes a day. If you can do nothing else, run for 10 minutes and do 50 push ups, that's all it tak

Besides the fact that the author is clearly an 'API-go-to-guy' (ex-Twilio, ex-IFTTT so I'm sure he knows his stuff!) I wonder if this is also because of the ecosystem which is OK with betting on the confidence of the founder.

This is just bad product experience. They're gonna have a nightmare marketing it the next time around.

The author should have added a TL;DR "ignorance is bliss" at the top.

The title of the article is too generic - he is talking of static stretching before a workout which is largely useless for weight lifting or power lifting styled workouts. In those regards the author makes a fair point. Static stretching be

I have one (insignificant?) beef with the article, in that it positions critics of a scientific discipline as those who decide the validity of the 'status quo' - this is right, that is wrong - which is a rather bleak picture of what their r
