Correct. Minimalist shoes are the beneficiaries of an extremely active Hype Machine. The type of shoe that works best is the type that works best with your actual foot. The data on injury reduction is bunk and is based on some seriously flawed data that has already been debunked in sports medicine circles. Really…

Not at all offended. =)

Bullshit. I graduated with a psychology degree from a rather prestigious university and I'm already familiar with the literature. My comment was rhetorical. The relationship you describe is relativistic, and the research is completely flaky. Constructed a double blind(ed) study would be simple. The weakness of current…

Anyone want to point me to the double blinded research that backs up the color = emotion claim? No? No takers?

Wait, you're saying that the green ones actually provide you with a degree for doing their free online courses? I beg to differ, if that's what you are saying.

Last time I checked, "Japanese" wasn't a race, but a nationality. Are you saying you can't make generalizations about a nation's quality of code? I beg to differ, having outsourced work to a few countries. I'm sure there are incredibly talented coders everywhere, but countries do have cultural trends, just as they…

"Mirrors create energy." .....

So Patrick George hasn't even seen this documentary yet, has he? He's basically swallowing the artificial PR that is being generated around this movie (TO SELL IT) and calling it news. Good reporting, you cracker jack writer!

Don't talk science with Yoga people. They're all posers anyway.

So glad they double blinded this stu...... oh wait, they can't even single blind it.... so there's NO WAY that there could be any of the classical research bias problems happening, right? right?? Science? SCIENCE??????

If I don't think you're good by the end of the interview, no thank you message is going to change my mind. It's a waste of your time and mine. The only way it makes a difference is if you're neck in neck with someone else and you send a thank you while that person doesn't, and even then, it's more likely I'm…

You're only going to get away with that as long as the Buyer's market persists. If it flips, your philosophy is going to get your rear end fired.

I call BS on that. At my company I need an approved requisition before I can post a job. That requisition has a MAX salary attached. That max salary is not negotiable except for some extreme emergency, like say the co-founder of Google wants to be my Intern. And even then, it would take 2 weeks to change the thing. As…

I'm a hiring manager. At my company, HR's job is to refer me to the corporate help desk whenever I have a question. Another part of their job is to ask me to send them job descriptions which they then just cut and paste into our job posting system, or, if they are busy, they ask me to do that part too. Then their job…

Isn't this "meditation technique" the um.... the basis of all meditation techniques? At least in the Zen / Buddhist tradition? I mean, sit, focus on breathing, clear mind... that's not a specific technique so much as it is the basis of general meditation. That's like saying "stepping on the gas pedal" is a "driving…

Oh, I'm familiar. I still can't believe that here in the USA we use mobile minutes on INCOMING calls. Ridiculous.

You guys pay that much for books? I can't remember the last time I paid more than $15 for any book (£8).

What a horrible interface. Unless you are pre-familiar with any of these items, the initial tile screen doesn't give you any information on what it is you are looking at other than a name. Could be an album, a book, a movie, and who knows about what? It's pretty and useless. Note to designers: The "card" metaphor only…

NO BEANS. Sorry, if your Chili has beans in it, it's a stew, not a chili. To whit, the World Chili Cookoff only recently even ALLOWED the use of beans, which are considered purely "filler." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/01/wor…

T-mobil actually has an amazing plan (through walmart, no less, but you can get it by calling t-mobile direct). It's 100 minutes of talk plus unlimited data (no crap), and if you run out of minutes, it's 10 cents a minute after that. It's all prepaid and contract free. Prices run different in different places, but…
