Thermodynamics can only be invoked when we know enough about the systems involved to make effective decisions. Our present knowledge of how food is turned into both used and stored energy is extremely rudimentary... there's a ton of ch

Pretty much all research has shown that the best way to improve poverty is to give people money, and not some sort of good that you've decided is better (goats, chickens, cows, whatever). Unfortunately, giving away money just doesn&#x2

"It wasn't exactly optional" was that there was an implied request that everyone would attend. It went on everyone's calendars and was during work hours, not after. I'm not arguing alcohol should be removed from of

IMO, The tech industry has a huge alcohol problem in general. It's not uncommon for even largeish companies to have beer kegs and frequent happy hours. Just recently we had a team event that revolved around alcohol, a mixology class.

One word: price. E-book prices have soared! Almost everything on Amazon is over $10 these days. They're often going for more than the paperback price, and certainly more than the prices you'd find at a discount bookseller.

Ah, food studies. The breeding ground of bad science. I am not saying this is bad science, but a quick glance shows this to be survey data. The problem with the data is that people who eat "healthy" probably care more about their

So by default your name and DNA are not visible to anyone. You'd have to make your profile public in order for other people to see any information about you. All it shows in the relative finder is that there is a match. The person

I've worked in Vancouver at a startup, and to me it seems that the goals of a Canadian startup are just more conservative. No one ever expected to become a Facebook, or a Google or even Nortel or RIM for that matter. The philosophy

A lot has changed in the last few years-- with modern tools (Skype, Google Hangouts, IRC, GotoMeeting), it is possible to not only almost entirely replicate being co-located, but to even enhance productivity by spinning out ad-hoc co-locate

The big problem here is that no one actually really knows just how much vitamin D is necessary. So their claims of X units per day recommended are just as bogus as those claiming 2X or 3X. Until we can actually figure out just where all th
