This is overall a good move if we want a chance to greatly slow the spread. However it needs to be coordinated with the rest of the country if we want to minimize the total downtim…

One argument I never see in UBI discussions is that some people are just bad with money. If you give more money to someone who doesn't budget, save, live within their means, etc, i…

Maybe Benchmark is hoping for a situation like Zenefit's. Ousted the CEO and accused him of fraud. Then they effectively increased their investor and employee ownership stakes at t…

Contents of the PoC are a ".zip" file that is actually plain-text (the engine ignores extension/mime types) and contains just this line of JS and 90kb of nonsense JS for entropy. (…

Isolation: It's hard not being around others from a social perspective. When you have no coworkers to vent to, celebrate with, or collaborate with, you get higher highs and lower l…

I wonder how this can be viable. The closing and transaction fees (agent/title/escrow/closing/excise) make it tough for many home-flippers to overcome and make a profit if no major…

Never used RethinkDB, but this is the first time I've seen an announcement this written as "we are shutting down, the team is moving to Stripe" rather than "We've been acquired by …

I guess another way to put it is "I don't know what the truth is" is somewhat inconsistent with "there's no harm in cutting back on". For instance, if someone said "drinking water …

8. A calorie is a calorie

That same 50 years of science have led to the biggest obesity epidemic in history.

I always hear the platitude "don't eat too much". I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who "wants to eat too much". It's like telling people "drive safely". Nobody is trying to …

Yea, same thing is true of commercial milk. Apparently they skim off all the fat and just add it back in to make 1%/2% etc. Who knows, they may even do it for whole milk so that th…

I don't get why fried foods are still demonized. If you use, say coconut oil or avocado oil and stay under the smoke points (so the oils dont break down), what's the problem? Maybe…

I can't remember which paper I read it in, but it said the amount of oxidation that happens normally as your body functions significantly dwarfs the amount of antioxidant effects y…

Similar story here, for everything that they test for in the bloodwork, results markedly improved (as well as weight loss). But if you tell them how you achieved it, its "Well you …

The harm is that you may end up replacing those foods with ones that may actually be to linked heart disease. You still have to eat a certain number of calories, so replacing red m…

Going on 4 hours of downtime here, this is a disaster. Linode used to be really honest about the status of things, this time, they claim "most linodes should be booted" which seems…

I use the Netbeans IDE debugger. It can get hung and crash your rails app if you put breakpoints in certain places, but it's pretty good for simple debugging.

1. 18 months 2. No 3. No 4. http://www.browsera.com

Thanks for the kind words, always working on improving the accuracy, but we've had pretty good success so far, even on the production versions of some of the most popular sites.

That's a good question, and one I've been thinking about a lot. Pricing is a tricky thing, so I went ahead and used the competitors models for pricing based on subscription. It's c…

http://www.browsera.com I'd like to get some feedback on my automated web testing service startup, Browsera. The service automatically detects major cross-browser rendering differe…
