I appreciated the heads-ups about this in this thread. I have been a Fastmail customer for years, and didn't realize they were subject to Australian law. It's very relevant to me, …

I don't know about foreclosure data, but I also wouldn't look at just that, because regulations are different in other countries. I live in the Netherlands and a lot of people now …

Is it safe to change my password now? All I read in the article is how much they are investigating this. How do I know the hackers don't still have access and are now actively moni…

Mel Siff died in 2003. "Established wisdom" at that time did not recommend a low-fat diet at all. He apparently wrote in one of his books that "nutritional scientists" recommend a …

I have learned in this thread that it isn't, but the parent has a good point: in the European country that I live in the name is not recognized at all. Potential employers will not…

I read Scientific American Mind and I actually wish it were a PDF. Instead, it's an app, with content that I can hide and show and some additional features like the odd video. It's…

In general, I would advice to not get your health advice from the NY Times. This is a response from Harvard's Nutritionsource: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2013/05/1…

Those studies are usually not very good. They often fail to recognize that people who are on a low-sodium diet are very sick, for example (just like those studies that say that a l…

Link? Studies about salt are notoriously difficult, because hardly anyone actually adheres to a truly low-salt diet, so you get the equivalent of a study that tries to discern whet…

It's not very rare at all. It's rare if you compare it to grains, and while quinoa is not a grain, it is usually used instead of a grain. Many beans (e.g. white and black) and vege…

I agree that you don't always know when you purchase something what you're going to use it for. I got the 16GB iPad and never ever expected to run out of storage space. I didn't kn…

From the article: A spokesperson of the Royal Dutch Airforce says they are surprised about the words of Lubbers[1]. 'We never disclose any information on this. As former prime mini…

That's great that you're adding user profiles, thank you! 15 leaderboards definitely isn't over the top, especially not for an app where improving your score is so essential. You c…

This looks great! Congrats on the release, I hope this does well. Some comments: - In the Dutch Appstore description you mention that this is good for children in "groep 3, 4, 5, 6…

Unfortunately the opposite is a much, much bigger problem right now: people running around telling people with chronic pain that they must have physical issues that must be correct…

Research suggests that it does. The book "Spark" by John Ratey goes into this in depth. http://www.amazon.com/Spark-Revolutionary-Science-Exercise-B...

Me too, but I noticed the other day that you can only save your progress at Khan Academy if you sign it with either Google or Facebook. That stung. I don't want to sign up for a so…

This would be awesome for vim. Not just for the escape key, but also for other often used keys. I love the virtual keyboard in Codea for example.

Your point is valid, but it is still worth noting that a huge audience also did buy their game. They just sold their millionth game on the App Store alone. http://2dboy.com/2012/01…

Sarno's book is part great and part fluff, but the idea that stress/ideas play a big part in chronic pain is not controversial among pain scientists. Explain Pain by Butler and Mos…

It is great indeed, and nobody would recommend people eat lots of sugar, but I found this a good article with some nuances about the specifics mentioned in that long video: http://…

Yeah, that's awful. A tip: install iCab (I'm sure there are other browsers that do the same, but I have experience with this one). You can then set your browser-id per site. So, I …
