  1. Re:How is that supposed to work? on The Site That Teaches You To Code Well Enough To Get a Job · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If all that's keeping your salary high is that people haven't gotten minimal training off a website, maybe your salary is too high.

  2. Re:what?!?! on Phablet Reviews: Before and After the iPhone 6 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think the reviews are pretty fair. Apple deserves credit for inventing the large phone.

  3. Sorry, no on Astrophysicists Identify the Habitable Regions of the Entire Universe · · Score: 0

    This isn't science's domain, as long as it has anything to do with origins. For that. we need ancient superstitions.

  4. Botched understanding of science? on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 2

    The only person with a botched understanding of science is the author. Science is the means by which we know what is true, and most definitely cover origins of things.

    ...from the owner of the data, i.e the individual. Serve the individual the warrant. If he fails to hand over the info, charge him with contempt of court.

    And yet the phenotypic analysis found strong correlations. The genes may be different in many ways, but the difference in IQ between races is still there.

    I'm skeptical. One chapter about race hardly makes it a "pile of racist crap". Go read it for real.

    I just don't automatically trust anything said.

    Are you as sceptical about what creationist christians say, or you selectively rational?

    So some simple maths means that if every domestic house installed a 3kw system, and govt funded a scheme to distribute that energy where it's needed, then we can all live on free energy

    I see you're using a strange definition of the word "free". I would have said prohibitively expensive.

  10. Re:Water Retention? on Link Between Salt and High Blood Pressure 'Overstated' · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I thought this was well documented. Societies with very low salt intake have low blood pressure, like tribes in the Amazon. Societies with high salt intake have high blood pressure (an area of Japan comes to mind). Lowering an individual's salt intake lowers blood pressure. Now, the salt you put on your food constitutes something like 10% of total salt intake. You need to avoid foods with high salt levels, and these days that's almost everything.

    Right, because if these guys didn't find it, it must not exist. I wonder if you've even read that "insidious" book.

    And you can somehow tell how much better off they'd be with the embargo lifted by walking around and looking at things? How did you come by this superpower?

    it'd become so utterly dependent on the US that it'd simply have no choice but to bow down to US wishes and culture.

    So we should open trade with Cuba so they become a free and open vassal state to the US?

    He was also young and a world class athlete. Telling people to be like Phelps isn't very helpful. From my experience, solving weight issues is easier through diet than exercise. Food, mostly high fat and high sugar food, is everywhere. We live in a world of super overabundance, and it's hard for many people to turn down cupcakes and brownies at every turn. If you looked up the calories for all those things you've been eating, you'd know you can't just work off an extra 2 or 3 thousand calories each and every day. Learn to say no to things you know are bad for you. You still need to be active, but you don't need to be an Olympian athlete.
