Exactly. When I see a coworker start irrationally focusing on a new technology at work the first thing I think is "This person probably has no side projects to play with"

"Both exclusivity and duration are important, because dose response is well established for breast milk benefits.3–5" [1] So the author cites findings that how-long you breastfeed for or amo…

It's easy to pick out 1 or 2 studies that show no result on this topic, but that'd be cherry-picking. Google scholar gives 1,750 results on "breast milk iq" in just 2017. See my ot…

You're oversimplifying this. Current status: Breastmilk-IQ relationship inconclusive and hotly contested (Breastmilk-health status understood and strongly favorable) You provided a link to a meta…

It's not clear to me why you are picking at the mechanics here. Are you arguing a different study that shows the same thing should be substituted? Because it's my understanding that the evid…

It's my understanding (not a professional) that breastmilk is conclusively highly preferred for all sorts of reasons in multiple studies [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breas…

Except I believe people were still showing a successful HTTPS connection, were they not?

Is it really that simple? Didn't a cache of hacking tools recently end up in hackers' hands?

Seems normal for me, can click around, seems entirely functional. Adding a query parameter to the URL changes nothing. This suggests it's not a cache. Perhaps there is a server rotation (by clien…

I don't see anything. Screen shot?

I think on the plus side, if net neutrality is killed, and ISPs start gouging the major providers (e.g. netflix, amazon, google/youtube) then it'll give huge financial incentive for those co…

For those who think the author is in the wrong 1 - Do you think this story indicates a success or a failure of the IRB? 2 - Would you rather a better expedited review process AND more studies (remembe…

I hope this is a tongue-in-cheek criticism.

Isn't that beside the point? Whether or not one particular woman is a great investor or not isn't so substantial. What is substantial if we have a broken system that perpetuates the ingroup …

I agree. And I hope this Ellen Pao issue cracks this system wide-open. Because there is systematic bias in finance (would they put somebody with a tattoo on a board? somebody with a nose piercing? so…

I think is borderline ad-hominem.

I really don't understand the negativity here. I sense a very dismissive tone, but most of the complaints are implementation details, or that this has been tried before (so what?). I think anybod…

Are these numbers atypical for the industry? I know google is facing a lawsuit, and am curious because I thought it was fairly common in engineering, law, finance, etc for a pretty drastic imbalance.

I stand corrected

I wish they'd have mentioned that jet fuel uses leaded gasoline still. Lead poisoning could explain some of these symptoms.

I have to say, I think Facebook is in the right on this one. I think the ecosystem would benefit greatly if this were adopted massively. I also think very few companies are going to have a time where …

I reject the premise. The internet seems to have proven that medium shapes dialogue. Wikipedia = encyclopedia quality product using only input from internet people Reddit = Consistently entertaining j…

So I think the distinction here is that "what is porn?" (again, a deep question that the supreme court has addressed, considering how much nudity there is in art) does have a non-moral answe…

I think youtube needs to consider backing off regulating political content. The fact is politics and morality are inherently intermingled. One can use words like extremist, but sometimes the extremist…

I agree with the sentiment that there are systemic problems. But I disagree with tone of resignation.

I was given a 30 day supply of oxy-something when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I needed 0 of the pills.

I mean I'd just recommend turning it into two-pages of the most interesting material that was said in that conversation. The title is interesting, I'd rather read a 2-paragraph article on ju…

Worst interview ever, jesus. This ramblier than Rick-and-Morty. This needs to be excerpted into 2 pages tops. I couldn't even find the section where he says how the interview process has changed …

Well if the root is the corporation, I think civil suits have proven ineffective at preventing such abuses. I wonder if the answer may be criminal suits and a greater emphasis on whistleblowing. Most …

Well, I'm not going to read that whole thing. If you want to pull out an excerpt I'd read it. The reason I think it's dangerous for the masses to decide things are facts based on "…
