I appreciated the heads-ups about this in this thread. I have been a Fastmail customer for years, and didn't realize they were subject to Australian law. It's very relevant to me, and even though the laws haven't passed yet,

I don't know about foreclosure data, but I also wouldn't look at just that, because regulations are different in other countries. I live in the Netherlands and a lot of people now (about 30%) have a mortgage that is worth more th

Is it safe to change my password now? All I read in the article is how much they are investigating this. How do I know the hackers don't still have access and are now actively monitoring password changes potentially getting more info?

Mel Siff died in 2003. "Established wisdom" at that time did not recommend a low-fat diet at all. He apparently wrote in one of his books that "nutritional scientists" recommend a diet of 10% fat, but that was never the

I have learned in this thread that it isn't, but the parent has a good point: in the European country that I live in the name is not recognized at all. Potential employers will not know the value of the education and might assume it is

I read Scientific American Mind and I actually wish it were a PDF. Instead, it's an app, with content that I can hide and show and some additional features like the odd video. It's pretty, but it's a shame that it is complete

In general, I would advice to not get your health advice from the NY Times. This is a response from Harvard's Nutritionsource: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2013/05/17/the-n... who cal

Those studies are usually not very good. They often fail to recognize that people who are on a low-sodium diet are very sick, for example (just like those studies that say that a low BMI is very dangerous but fail to control for the fact th

Link? Studies about salt are notoriously difficult, because hardly anyone actually adheres to a truly low-salt diet, so you get the equivalent of a study that tries to discern whether smoking 1.5 pack of cigarettes (which takes lots of rest

It's not very rare at all. It's rare if you compare it to grains, and while quinoa is not a grain, it is usually used instead of a grain. Many beans (e.g. white and black) and vegetables have a complete amino acid profile.

I agree that you don't always know when you purchase something what you're going to use it for. I got the 16GB iPad and never ever expected to run out of storage space. I didn't know about all the great games you could play o

From the article: A spokesperson of the Royal Dutch Airforce says they are surprised about the words of Lubbers[1]. 'We never disclose any information on this. As former prime minister, he knows that'. According to the spokespers

That's great that you're adding user profiles, thank you! 15 leaderboards definitely isn't over the top, especially not for an app where improving your score is so essential. You could even add a 16th, 17th and 18th leaderboard for total t

This looks great! Congrats on the release, I hope this does well. Some comments: - In the Dutch Appstore description you mention that this is good for children in "groep 3, 4, 5, 6". In the US appstore you say "grades 3, 4, 5, 6". They are

Unfortunately the opposite is a much, much bigger problem right now: people running around telling people with chronic pain that they must have physical issues that must be corrected, and that pain that is not caused by physical issues is s

Me too, but I noticed the other day that you can only save your progress at Khan Academy if you sign it with either Google or Facebook. That stung. I don't want to sign up for a social network, just to save my progress on a math course.

This would be awesome for vim. Not just for the escape key, but also for other often used keys. I love the virtual keyboard in Codea for example.

Your point is valid, but it is still worth noting that a huge audience also did buy their game. They just sold their millionth game on the App Store alone. http://2dboy.com/2012/01/09/one-million-downloads/

Sarno's book is part great and part fluff, but the idea that stress/ideas play a big part in chronic pain is not controversial among pain scientists. Explain Pain by Butler and Moseley is a great book about this, but unfortunately it is rat

It is great indeed, and nobody would recommend people eat lots of sugar, but I found this a good article with some nuances about the specifics mentioned in that long video: http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/01/29/the-bitter-truth-ab...

Yeah, that's awful. A tip: install iCab (I'm sure there are other browsers that do the same, but I have experience with this one). You can then set your browser-id per site. So, I set in my settings that wordpress.com sends the "Safari 5/

Use a different browser. I use iCab and it has DuckDuckGo as a search option built in. There are also lots of other good things, like modules to post to delicious/pinboard/read it later.

Totally agreed. When I was shopping for a netbook I often saw people in stores who wanted a netbook, asked the store employee what they should buy, and then bought one. The same goes for camera's. Why should this be different for tablets?

In one of the comments someone asks the author if he himself never infringes on copyright. I thought his response to that was disappointing: while the majority of the imagery on my site is co-owned by me I can't vouch for all of it nor can

And also, afaik, the only browser that doesn't allow copying in HTML. So if you want to copy information from Opera and paste it in, say, Evernote or Onenote, you lose all formatting. I know some people prefer it that way, but since Opera i

Diet coke is almost or just as acidic as regular coke. It will erode your teeth. Unfortunately, definitely not something you can drink all day without any real side-effects.
