    How is that an enormous dose? The recommendation is 2x200mg every 4-6h. When doing competitive athletics, I probably took 1-3g of “vitamin I” a day. 600mg a day is barely above a s…

    I think I'd be willing to pay more to offset higher content costs for more theater/blockbuster type movies. If Netflix was say 14.99 instead, I wonder what that would do to help? P…

    Sure it can - think of smallpox: the first smallpox "vaccine" was actually inoculation with cowpox - a similar, but less virulent virus. The provoked immune response rendered a sma…

    Realistically, these are all the same thing in different manners - dissolving a business, and starting another immediately competing in the same space, which seems shockingly sensi…

    Yeah, I remembered that wasn't the right pairing after I wrote that (and thankfully ours weren't paired like that, we had the right names); but that also goes to show you the downs…

    I used to run a dual stack app, windows was Roman mythology, linux was Greek, that allowed us to keep roles straight across environments - apollo/hermes, athena/minerva, etc.

    This is technically true for MOST taxes in the USA. Generally municipalities have reciprocal agreements with each other, but when tax is fixed at a state or municipality level, you…

    Addressing number 1, I saw the other day a study that indicates that this can back fire for individuals with low self-esteem. [1] [1]: http://pss.sagepub.com/content/20/7/860

    I think it's a fine line- I'm not in finance, but from what I understand you want some incentive to purchase a new issue as you have a set target of shares you're trying to move. I…

    There's no requirement to go "public" in the sense of listing on an exchange, and available for public purchase. What changes at that point is SEC regulatory compliance kicks in: e…

    The issue with credit card vs cash is actually far more nuanced. For example, in Boston, cab drivers don't get to choose a payment processor, the processor/cab company takes about …

    I think the issue is more that the ISPs are demanding payment at both ends of the tunnel. They charge you and I for transit (best-effort though it may be) and then when a bulk of t…

    This is why you sign an exclusion clause when you start anywhere. I don't know why this is so crazy. Salaried employees are paid regardless of hours worked, which means that you ar…

    How does this work for internal applications? I looked through your site, and couldn't find any documentation without creating an account.
