Egoscue was a paradigm shift for me. I had never considered posture as a critical factor in health, and since reading his books, I've gone down the rabbit hole of posture and myofa…

It's referring to the ability of ISPs (as of last year) in the USA being able to use your DNS requests for advertising purposes. The argument for this is to expand competition arou…

"The real windfall was the friends and memories we made along the way"

ReasonML is a much more reasonable (pun intended) approach to FP from the front-end side that doesn't appear to be as dogmatic as Elm. By making some concessions over interoperabil…

Don't get sucked into all the drama - it's very fashionable to hate on SF right now. For all its flaws, SF is still a top tier city with amazing things to do within an hours reach.…

This hit upon a larger issue within the programming community - the idea that the brain's abilities can be reduced into discrete parts (see the comment about how a programmer's CPU…

Another point to consider is that the more the internet is regulated, the more difficult it is for new entrants to compete , as they have to comply first with existing laws. This i…

I think you misunderstood me -- I agree with you. Hence, my first comment that kinship (and the culture I choose to belong to) is determined more by values and quality of character…

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I agree wholeheartedly with the thought the healing begins with self-understanding. There's a fantastic book about trauma called "The Body Keeps…

No need for dichotomy here. Both types of pollution (heat trapping molecules and plastics) are waste from a consumption culture that doesn't think long term about material life cyc…

Ishmael ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_(novel) ) - it changed how I view the planet from a species-centric perspective to one focused on maximizing the potential for susta…

Seems like a port wine stain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-wine_stain

You're right, and there's always exceptions to the rule. Eg some of those with life threatening injuries probably need processed food in the interim. But the general point stands w…

This is an extremely ignorant comment. In what other system would you ever say, "the inputs are irrelevant provided you supply enough volume"? Diet absolutely matters tremendously.…

May not be worse, but by tweaking a constituent group here or there, you can get similar molecules to BPA. Eg. BPF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_F

Insurance against a downturn maybe? Depends on the terms of the round I suppose.

Tangential, but this psychologist argues that depression evolved as a behavioral shutdown mechanism to prevent humans from over-investing in tactics or behaviors that did not yield…

This article actually makes a lot of good points about the issues we're seeing today around "fake news", and the general uncivilized discourse that dominates the internet. He wasn'…

The primary suspected cause of this is a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids. These are not sprayed, but rather coated on seeds (which is arguably even more alarming). See:…

Thank you for sharing. Crypto is an interdisciplenary field, and we (folks on HN) view it through the lens of CS, at the exclusion of the other ways to approach the field. Any othe…

A good patch for this is ImmutableJS
