Why would that even be a problem?

It's almost like we can't force them to do things our way.

I suspect it can be solved in many different ways, but when you sell food by the pound, it's much more advantageous to distribute your limited quantity of nutrients in as much prod…

You think the OP has never heard this before? This is the attitude that creates the guilt that weighs people down in the first place. You, like most people, are talking about the f…

Could be. I hope the intent is still encouraging!

The other commenter takes this somewhere interesting, but to me the main point is to not get trapped by guilt. That's why I say "you now" and not just "you". I'm not implying that …

This was always the problem with capitalism based on short-term gain, it will inevitably sacrifice loyalty for a quick buck. The same will happen or is already happening to online …

It's literally a therapist's job to help you figure this out, I don't want to undermine this. Please speak to a professional, you are not alone. In the meantime, here are some of m…

I'm pretty sure they've been trying, but our bodies have evolved to distinguish actual sugar from anything else for a very long time.

I can't read the article, but the fact that they include suicide in the list indicates a strong possiblity that they did not control for socioeconomic factors. Maybe richer people …

I use Linux exclusively. You don't need a zero-day when everyone forgets to patch or takes a month to do so. To say nothing of the documented vulnerabilities with no available patc…

And Digg.

If the universities wanted the problem fixed it would be fixed. I truly don't believe research universities are focused on producing value (other than to themselves).

> Also, I think most people vastly overestimate the level of competence of VCs and especially the degree of due diligence that they do. They are just as easily wooed by great prese…

I don't mean to attack the author rather than the article, but it's hard to take them seriously when they use terms like "liberals hate" and "lol" in an article that aims to be emp…

Maybe it looked better, but I think it felt better because it was much faster. This is a marketing push disguised as an aesthetic change. Mozilla, please stop trying to make Pocket…

You are right, I don't have rich friends who create wealth. But if I to choose one as a friend or mentor to make the world a better place, I'll side with the person not trying to g…

I was commenting about this earlier, here's a link to a study that says otherwise: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/7/eaau1156.full Or rather, it says people who are advan…
