   I recently read, and recommend a book titled "Here Comes the Sun" by Bill McKibben. There's a passage where a calculation is made of the amount of minerals that have to be mined in order to build renewable energy to cover a

   My father doesn't eat sweets. He has a very healthy diet - whole grains, vegetables, etc. Never had a cavity nor gum disease. Because of that he never went to the dentist to have a check up. He ended up loosing all his teeth from hard

   The kids version is as effective and less sweet. But more expensive. Another benefit is that it doesn't contain titanium dioxide.

   I had severe GERD for years. On an off PPI's for almost 5 years, several endoscopies, pain 24h per day. It was so the bad I almost went for surgery. Then I tried the low fodmap diet and it went away. Now I only have to avoid alcohol,

    Tui is one. I recently flew with them and had the "surprise" of discovering I was seated on 737 Max. I kept thinking: "Surely they debugged this now!"

    I have been working on a game as a side project for 10 years now. Why such a long time? It started when I was freelancing and carried on through full-time jobs, a marriage and now a small child. I am lucky if I can get one hour a day to wor

    Any desktop would be able to do so. I wrote a multi stream mjpeg decoder some years ago and it could run three MJPEG streams at 1920x1080@30 on a 2008 Macbook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.5ghz ).

    This is very cool! In 1999 my degree final year project was to implement an mpeg decoder in software. My only source of information was the MPEG technical reference manuals. It took me 3 months to be able to decode my first frame. It ran a

    I'm in a similar situation and I am thinking about the same thing. Once Brexit happens I think there is a high chance that a lot of software development jobs will be lost, specially in the City of London. This will depress wages and mi

    I don't think I have anemia so maybe it is just GERD, but I will mention what you said on my next visit. I really hope you are better.

    I have exactly the same symptoms and a history of pancreatic cancer in my family. Not sure how to try to escalate this further or if that seems ridiculous. What did you do to get further exams?

    I hope the lack of growth in hardware sales makes the company improve their services and lower their hardware prices instead of trying to increase hardware replacement rates via shorter life cycles.

    Market value takes into account all the dimensions of the job, including location and whether you need to be in the office or not. The article doesn't mention price pressure from outsourcing, that is another issue. What I am trying to

    The other problem with taking jobs for less than market value is that you are affecting the salary of everybody else, not just yours. You might not care because you don't need the income, but other people do and they are not being gree
