I covered a Texas Tech study that showed how perchlorate can be passed to babies via breast milk. That was in... 2005. The EPA's recent decision is extremely disappointing. https:/…

Or maybe what he's saying is, "I would rather my kids learn that they should explore and enjoy the world, rather than never take any big risks." There are a lot of parents in the w…

It doesn't claim to be "journalism." This was published on Medium, which is pretty clearly for essays and opinions. I'll grant you that some of the speculation is pretty far out th…

For me the most eye-opening lesson about the business world was the realization that you are not an entrepreneur just because you can build something. You become an entrepreneur wh…

Could it be done better? Sure. But to be fair, the fields aren't all required. If you want to unsubscribe from emails, you only enter your email. It's pretty clear this is a low-te…

I have yet to come across a healthcare provider -- physician, dentist, optemetrist -- who does NOT have a binding arbitration clause in their agreement. How do you avoid signing on…

I'm an independent developer. The majority of my clients are on Drupal. Here's what I've learned: While it's true that someone looking at Drupal's architecture for the first time i…
