Genuine question: do you have any links you could share regarding the "emulsifiers as detergent" claim? I assume this mainly refers to chemical emulsifiers and not those that are n…

The theory goes something like this: In a recession investors tend to have a "flight to quality", which usually means buying more government bonds, which pushes their interest rate…

I tend to agree with you, but Seattle is in a state with 0% income tax, so just because the city’s taxes are rising doesn’t mean they’re net higher than other large cities.

Genuinely curious - how do Facebook and Bloomberg compete?

Nitpick - calls are for upside. Puts provide downside protection.

There's also realtor.com, which is the official site of the National Association of Realtors.

Very interesting, thanks! Out of curiosity, how soon is "soon" for the expanded data? If you're able to say whether it will be this/next quarter, or this/next year that would be in…

What really ended up helping me was getting a pair of Gunnar glasses. Plus, you may be able to get them through a health savings account if you're in the states. A bunch of colleag…

When I lived in London in the late 2000s, dev salaries were shockingly low relative to what we saw in the states both before and after living in the UK.

Cool, good luck! Also, not sure if this is by design or not, but the header bar (with the about and pricing links) doesn't show up until I've scrolled down past the main splash ima…

Congrats on shipping! Quick question, maybe I missed it on your homepage: How do you track what ingredients a user has on hand? Does the user enter each one by hand, by barcode, et…

Out of curiosity, how do you get and maintain what food the user has on hand? Obviously in the long-term you'd do everything so it'd all be in the app already, but short-term do I …

I didn't downvote the parent, but I also don't consider it to be civil (which is requested in the HN Guidelines). There are a number of ways to point out that this is not yet in pr…

Heads up - when I was working for a lead gen company, they would charge per lead, not on a monthly basis. Also, I assume you'd want to be the exclusive recipient (or nearly the exc…

Cool, I was a derivatives trader for about 6 years, let me know if you want to discuss more of what you'd like to learn. My email is in my profile.

What would you want to learn from this course? Are you looking for a strategy or an explanation on how options/spreads/etc. work or something else entirely?

Yes, that's right, thanks

Where did you research sites to buy? Places like flippa seem sketchy, though I remember patio11 recommended feiinternational.com when he sold his business.

On the back of the discussion around the "Less Stress, More Productivity" article (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12320188), I'm curious which companies actively work to keep…

It does specifically say raw carrots - typically when mashing food it's cooked then mashed, so I'd assume cooked carrots in any form are OK.

No worries - I appreciate you're probably slammed with many other things to do. I just wanted you to be aware of it.

it's wonky in IE11 as well. For example: http://imgur.com/8HP761w

Nothing shows on IE11 on Win7. Also the header image has a horizontal scroll bar. http://postimg.org/image/qxyl332ef/

Do you mean "farming" in terms of a large-scale farm where you make your living selling produce or in terms of subsistence farming for your own consumption (what some might call "g…
