PG holds Sam in very high regard: "Honestly, Sam is, along with Steve Jobs, the founder I refer to most when I'm advising startups. On questions of design, I ask "What would Steve do?" but on questions of strategy or amb

With regards to fat shaming and "gluttonous sloths", Stephan did say: "I do not consider it a "moral failure" to eat unhealthy food that is under your nose, socially accepted and in some cases even considered health

I never thought of food reward as typical fat shaming, but I suppose some of the "food reward friday" posts come across that way. I'm reading through some posts and comments by "itsthewoo", and I'm trying to ma

Anyone who reads Taubes should also consider Stephan Guyenet's critique of his arguments: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/08/carbohydrate-h... http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/

Hi there, I'm an engineer at DeepDyve. I'm wondering how long your rental was for - was it a 30 day rental? And was 30 days too short to cite the article later? I'll talk to some people here, but we may be able to extend that

Cool, I'll take a look at Peter's posts - I like him in general. Btw, Stephan did respond to Taubes' 6-part series: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/11/brief-response...

Low-carb diets work for plenty of people (including me), but this is a must-read refutation of Taubes' carbohydrate hypothesis: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/08/carbohydrate-h...

I don't think he implied that. And I agree with his sentiment - for those of us who haven't made up our minds on Groupon, it's nice to see a view from the other side.

It's a big difference to risk starting a company vs climbing Mt Everest. That's actually a big mental block people have - they are afraid of risk, but starting a company or asking a cute girl out and failing is more of an ego hit than a thr

There is an argument to be made that modern fruits have been bred to be sweeter, which is worth examining. Also, it is well known in the "paleo" community that fruit should be avoided when trying to get lean (~10-11% body fat for men) - and

Paul, do you see any role software could play in trying to resolve the dietary advice problem? There are lots of communities out there of diabetics and obese people improving their health through diet - in particular a low carb, medium prot

Look for dextrose or corn sugar. Here's one link: http://www.nowfoods.com/Products/ProductsbyCategory/M004079.... . Personally, I just do my best to avoid anything that tastes sweet.

One of the important benefits of YC is that meeting every week with a group of like-minded founders forces you do some kind of work on your startup. Even if you are demoralized, you would feel pretty stupid if you didn't have anything new t

Keep in mind that YC didn't exist when Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple were started. It's quite possible that the next wave of those companies will be part of YC or are already part of YC.

It's so hard to think like this. I've read and watched this speech many times over the years, and I always thought it was awesome - but it never changed my behavior. I'm working on that more recently because I realize the power of understan

I forgot to mention one thing - some of the pictures were a little small, and so a potentially pretty girl was ignored by me because I wasn't sure. Not sure if there's a way to fix that, you might have to get creative with fetching alternat

I didn't see your first post, but I like this one. Your title was interesting, so I clicked through to the website. Once there I saw at least one pretty girl, so it was easy to get started and go through all the pages. You suckered me in!
