Anecdotal, but: I know someone with relevant migraine problems did a log of everything she was eating or doing, searching for possible triggers. After a few weeks there were a couple of suspects: glutamate, chocolate, and also some legumes. Removing these worked and reduced greatly the amount and extent of the problem. Currently legumes is ok sometimes, but consuming one of the first two is almost a guaranteed episode.
"At the time I was at Amazon, working on the retail site, none of Amazon.com was running on AWS. I know, when AWS was announced, with great fanfare, they said "the services that power Amazon.com can now power your business!" or words to that effect. This was a flat out lie."

Re:Japan's radiation disaster toll: none dead, none sick on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @07:10AM (#5824786)
None dead, because it doesn't matter how many decontamination workers die from leukemia or heart problems, it is never officially related to radiation.

None sick, because the increase in cancer that even the article mentions means nothing.

The thyroid cancer rate of Fukushima children is 79 times higher than usual. But "none sick". Yeah, whatever.

heroku create myproject --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/pearkes/heroku-buildpack-static

Re:Show HN: hateratio.com, how much hated? on Saturday June 02, 2012 @01:28PM (#4058563)
Thanks people for your comments! Didn't know about "Sucks/Rocks", yes, the idea is basically the same. In fact, I considered using something like loveorhate.com but the domain was already taken.

It's curious that now, some days later, the "windows" and "wall street" hate ratio is down a lot. Oh and try querying "justin bieber"...

Show HN: hateratio.com, how much hated?

Hi people,The other day I needed a tool to build quickly a site and wanted to know which one would cause me less trouble.I decided to start googling about things like "drupal nightmares", "wordpress is driving me nuts" and things like that, and use the relative number of search results to decide which one to choose.As the process of doing it manually is not very enjoyable I have built this site...
