I'd prefer they launch the new macbook now than iphone. There's nothing exciting about the new iphone except the triple lens back camera.

Shouldn't the headline say "Boeing 737 Max" ? There's a big difference compared to regular 737s

Shouldn't we classify fruits and vegetables separately ? Modern fruit is a huge deviation from the older times, they're almost as sweet as candy. Plus they're always available unlike the seasonal availability in the past.

Mine would be "Why we get fat and what to do about it" by Gary Taubes. Not only it changed my life (overweight to my healthiest ever), it also led me to challenge everything about our dietary dogmas. I further read "Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living", watched a lot of lectures and saw studies which question our current notions. Overall I am more skeptical of studies which have links to those benefiting from it commercially.

Meanwhile, India seems to be going in the opposite direction - https://indianexpress.com/article/india/thirty-seven-academi...

I wonder why most autonomous vehicle projects are piloted in Arizona ? loose regulations ?

With this close proximity, isn't there a good chance we may be hit directly with the gamma ray burst ? Shouldn't we be alarmed about another possible mass extinction event ?

I've never worked with Vue on a full scale project but I loved the simplicity and the great documentation. would love to use it soon.

True. Especially in India where it's wasn't even covered much in the news

This paper mentions many neuroprotective benefits of ketogenic diet - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2367001/

Completely agree. My father is a T2 diabetic. He tried keto with great results but could not sustain it. Recently he tried fasting and started getting similar results. Stopped insulin altogether from his peak of 30 units a day.

Similar is true for a Ketogenic diet. Virta Health(https://www.virtahealth.com/) founded by Sami Inkinen(Trulia) and some well known doctors in the field, is using Ketogenic diet approach for Diabtetes type 2 treatment.

They've also published results from their clinical trials:

I take cold shower just for the wakefulness. Always beats the morning coffee for me.

Elixir is pure pleasure. Coming from a ruby background, I din't have huge difficulty in understanding the syntax, and unlike other functional languages like Clojure, it's not an abrupt change from procedural paradigm. You can still assign variables in functions etc.

Can anyone suggest if this is good and worth the money ? I'm planning interviews at top 5 next year.

Great to see this innovation. Good luck with your venture. I'm very hopeful that we can replace many other industrial toxic processes with clean bio alternatives

Most likely due to traffic from HN. Try searching for stem talk podcast if you’ve itunes or an iphone

I love these podcasts. Many of the talks are about Ketogenic diets and nutrition. Super exciting to see, as I've been following it for past 2 years myself and did a lot of research on it.

Honestly I find the dual tone design ugly. Does anyone else find it ugly too ?

Good to see the rates dropping but it is disappointing to see that alternative treatment paradigms, like diet and fasting aren't given a serious look.

There is a different between consuming plant protein directly and indirectly. Take the example of Giant Pandas, they have to eat constant to meet the demands of their body since they just eat plants. Their cousins on the other hand are not feeding all the time.

Also we cannot digest a lot of plant protein or covert it from complex fibre since we lack the enzymes and gut microbes to process them.

I'm still skeptical if veganism suits everyone. I don't think we lived 100% off plants at any point in history. There isn't much evidence that plant based protein is superior or equivalent to animal based(grass fed).

Also, agriculture itself isn't blood free. So many animals die while procuring the land for agriculture or even while growing crops on an agricultural land.

I wish they had included the rumored continuous glucose monitor. That would've made me line up outside the store

This is just laziness. Waiting for the next wonder to fix their health than taking control of it now and live a healthy life.

I still believe that feeding people would be much more efficient and healthier if we accept natural alternatives to meat like insects.

Looks to me, the winning strategy. Various strategies around trust have been very nicely gamified here: http://ncase.me/trust/

Wait for a crash. Buy bitcoins. Sell at this bubble high. Get rich quick. Repeat...

Very well could be true but still is less harmful than legal tobacco and alcohol

I have made the same observation in SOMA area. Not even once I saw the car being driven autonomously

We've always played with nature without understanding the repercussions. Some turned out good and some bad. So the best strategy is to have a kill switch.

Unfortunately GMO has turned out to be a bad experiment(widespread usage of glyphosates) which has badly affected our environment and health and we are nowhere close to killing it.
