Egoscue was a paradigm shift for me. I had never considered posture as a critical factor in health, and since reading his books, I've gone down the rabbit hole of posture and myofascial therapy, and I'm appaled at how ignored this

It's referring to the ability of ISPs (as of last year) in the USA being able to use your DNS requests for advertising purposes. The argument for this is to expand competition around ad based products by enabling ISPs to join the game

ReasonML is a much more reasonable (pun intended) approach to FP from the front-end side that doesn't appear to be as dogmatic as Elm. By making some concessions over interoperability (namely supporting raw JS and npm libraries), Reas

Don't get sucked into all the drama - it's very fashionable to hate on SF right now. For all its flaws, SF is still a top tier city with amazing things to do within an hours reach.

This hit upon a larger issue within the programming community - the idea that the brain's abilities can be reduced into discrete parts (see the comment about how a programmer's CPU is the bottleneck, not I/O). While computer

Another point to consider is that the more the internet is regulated, the more difficult it is for new entrants to compete , as they have to comply first with existing laws. This is an easy way for incumbents to protect themselves from pote

I think you misunderstood me -- I agree with you. Hence, my first comment that kinship (and the culture I choose to belong to) is determined more by values and quality of character. I too am a "third culture" child in some ways. B

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I agree wholeheartedly with the thought the healing begins with self-understanding. There's a fantastic book about trauma called "The Body Keeps The Score" which explains how past traumas c

Hi Snigdha, Congrats on the launch. As a member of the South Asian diaspora, I too enjoy seeing folks from my specific ethnic background succeeding in business, politics, and life. This is because I generally love seeing ambitious and consc

No need for dichotomy here. Both types of pollution (heat trapping molecules and plastics) are waste from a consumption culture that doesn't think long term about material life cycles. When we make progress as a species, we will realiz

You're right, and there's always exceptions to the rule. Eg some of those with life threatening injuries probably need processed food in the interim. But the general point stands which is that human longevity had been correlated w

This is an extremely ignorant comment. In what other system would you ever say, "the inputs are irrelevant provided you supply enough volume"? Diet absolutely matters tremendously. We just don't have a good understanding of h

May not be worse, but by tweaking a constituent group here or there, you can get similar molecules to BPA. Eg. BPF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_F

Tangential, but this psychologist argues that depression evolved as a behavioral shutdown mechanism to prevent humans from over-investing in tactics or behaviors that did not yield any benefit (from a dopaminergic standpoint) -- https:&#x2

This article actually makes a lot of good points about the issues we're seeing today around "fake news", and the general uncivilized discourse that dominates the internet. He wasn't entirely wrong, but maybe underestimat

The primary suspected cause of this is a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids. These are not sprayed, but rather coated on seeds (which is arguably even more alarming). See: https://www.nature.com/nature/journal&

Thank you for sharing. Crypto is an interdisciplenary field, and we (folks on HN) view it through the lens of CS, at the exclusion of the other ways to approach the field. Any other courses / topics you recommend?

As far as I can tell, Facebook seems to have given up on originality. They seem to just be following Snapchat's playbook, a year late. It's a shame since they have so much money and potential to do world changing things. Instead i

The spirit of the article was to praise the fruits of SV culture, in which Elon Musk is a revered leader. But yeah, if you want to be pedantic, yes space x is in Southern california.

It's a good question -- the way I look at it is that science is the realm of the things we understand using our mathematical representation of natural phenomena (eg. physics, etc). However, it would be foolish to believe that this set

It's a shame that this moderately spoken, and well documented counter to the OP's ad hominem attack on the author of the linked article is downvoted so heavily. I appreciate HN's love for science and disciplined understanding

You're both right, and that's the beauty of culture. The double sided sword yields both benefits and disadvantages. The irony is that America's historical appreciation of immigration (one of the best ways to mitigate cultural
