    A pure cash investing strategy (money market, CD, T-Bill/Bond) now has a track record as good as the US stock market over 30 year periods. Except the much lower volatility of cash …

    > lack of female talent in this industry is a real shame Why? I really don't think it matters. Is the shortage of whites in the NBA also a real shame to you?

    People need fast high level OO abstractions all the time: Abstract Factory, that sort of thing. C++ is still the only game in town if you need to model something complex, as in a g…

    He's ignoring the reality of irreducible complexity. There is not always some cute dynamic language trick to cut down the code length. Some software is inherently very large and co…

    Your studies are all observational garbage, as were the two links I posted, more to make a point than anything. And they both did in fact raise questions about damage caused by dis…

    The link is worthless. Some researchers say runners live long ... because their model says runners live long. Tautology. Why didn't they just look at dead olympic athletes? That wo…

    I wouldn't say "no coffee" is a paleo thing. Also, I would say experiment with dairy. Dairy makes me feel great. Full fat yogurt is a fantastically cheap and healthy central compon…
