mary_fortran··on Facebook Collaborating with Israeli Government on What Should Be Censored
Y Combinator loves to bash Israel (and Jews!) for some reason. I agree with your assessment. There's plenty of Israel critical material on Facebook. Only a very few items--items that would be not legal under US law, have been cited as examples. There's no secret kabal conspiracy here.

That's irrelevant, really. Just that standardizing on a particular business for all repositories will never please everyone.

See if there's a better solution.

I won't use github for my own projects because I don't agree with their politics. (If you're ok with them, good for you. I won't stop you.)

Mandating github for everybody is a Bad Idea.

mary_fortran··on How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
If you had 20 pounds to lose, you weren't healthy. You were fooling yourself. Healthy people aren't carrying around 20 extra pounds of fat.
mary_fortran··on How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
The biggest problem with our health, however, is still Obesity. Just as the fat were mislead by being made to believe that "low fat == healthy" these people will be similarly think "low carb == healthy" and proceed to get obese on low-carb foods.

Face it, if you're a healthy weight, by body-fat percentage, you don't have to worry about fructose vs glucose or fat vs carbs.

Americans need to put their forks down. We need to start holding the overweight and the fat accountable for their expensive lifestyle choices.
