Every day. Stove, rice cooker, microwave, wok and a BBQ. Better tasting food, cheaper, and a more complete (and trackable) micro+macronutrient profile.

"In the tech bubble it was Broadcast.com, AOL, Netscape, etc. Today its, Uber, Twitter, Facebook, etc."

Did he just compare himself to Uber and Facebook? Wow...

>Nutritional science (not really a science, more research) hasn't been able to produce conclusive results about some of the most simple (chemically) compounds that we've been consuming for thousands of years.

What research are you looking at?

Protein can also be fairly insulinogenic.

Unless your protein intake is severely lower than 50g/day the partitioning is minimal at best.

Also you will never be fully satiated on any meaningful caloric deficit, 40-60g/fiber per day usually increases satiation. What exactly do you mean by 'standard low fat diet'?

Unless you have just successfully dismantled the second law of thermodynamics, this is impossible.

Carbohydrates are most certainly not 'unhealthy'. Care to cite any sources?

"The annual income Americans earn is unevenly distributed"

Income isn't distributed, but earned.

General quality of life is far better now than it has ever been.

Re:Ask HN: Best mac for iOS development/web design? on Sunday January 04, 2015 @06:12AM (#8834088)
Thanks, any ideas for reliable used iMacs? There were none on the refurbished page on the Apple Store, hesitant to trust ebay.
Calacanis has said TWiST is bringing in about ~500k per year. He does approx. 2 shows per week, so you do the math.

"Not to make assumptions, but Kalanick probably wasn't the first kid in his class to lose his virginity. But the way he talks now—which is large—he's surely making up for lost time. When I tease him about his skyrocketing desirability, he deflects with a wisecrack about women on demand: “Yeah, we call that Boob-er.”"

Yeah seems more like an insult than a transcript to a conversation.

Good.

Do you have a link to the original 'boober' transcript? Haven't been able to find one, context is everything so I'd rather have the full backstory before making any assumptions.

Sarah is a great interviewer, only realized that when I watched more interviews from others.

Hey man no question in mind, just wanted to let you know that examine is a lifesaver. I recommend it to all of my clients, friends and family. Some are ignorant to the truth but many listen, thankyou.
