Again, the plural of anecdote is not data, but I've felt much better since going vegan. I'm willing to grant that may be a placebo effect, but my acne seems to also have improved a bit as well.

The China Study is supposed to have taken a more comprehensive view. I've not read any criticism of it (which is why I asked for some). But he cites more than one study that demonstrated the ability to "turn on and off" cancer growth in rat

I've read McDougall, it's what started me on veganism after 20 years of vegetarianism. And I have a copy of the book you mentioned.

He explicitly takes the time to discuss correlation vs causation. But thanks! I'll take a look.

I know this is slightly off topic and I apologize but I'm rather obsessed with the topic at the moment. First, vegan isn't a necessarily a moral choice. I'm vegan and my primary reason for being so is for one animal: me. Second, the China S

I think I just don't understand a growing population on HN. Since when is programming about building websites? Or desktop apps? Or making money? What happened to ars gratia artis?

The people who would say that are the people who already do.

This is probably the only chapter of that book I really enjoyed. It mostly felt like an "I'm so awesome" series of events. But this was a really valuable chapter. If you feel burned out on something you loved it can be hard to figure out wh

I see the argument that $9.99 is a bad price point for publishers but is there any real evidence that this price is too low to sustain profits for a publisher? I mean... 10 bucks doesn't seem very low to me. It seems... reasonable for a boo

I despise it when people call me a "techie". Pushes my buttons like few other things. Seriously? Yeah, I'm the "techie" and you're the "widdle manager-wanager"

It's really the politeness that is key. It's the difference between "You suck" and "Your X could be improved by Y" Sadly the tubes are clogged with the former and the latter is much less common. I wonder how many of us really remember learn

Actually, that isn't what the parent said, and I'm not arguing with the parent. I'm making a point that cursing only maintains it's visceral power when used sparingly, which I don't think it really is in this video or in some recent article

The problem I have with this is nicely illustrated by a (possibly apocryphal) story about John Steinbeck. He wrote to a college paper that was printing an entire page of the word "FUCK" He asked them to stop, not because it was offensive, b

Oye, no joke. I get more mail for former residents of my home than I do for me. We have filled out the form to stop delivering that mail. Didn't work. We have called the mail annex the carriers leave from. Didn't work. We have left the carr

What do you think of the note taking on the Kindle? I've never been one to write in books so It's hard for me to say how well it works.

It would be nice to know how the RSS works, and maybe have a way to select articles over a certain threshold via RSS. I use Calibre to fetch HN articles but when i see them through out the day, I can't be sure if I'll get that one later or
