Comment She's a little crazy (Score 1, Troll) 485

She says she doesn't trust Microsoft with her information, but Google? She approves of them faithfully:

My views of Microsoft and Google are pretty much diametrically opposed -- I have enormous faith in Google and Googlers doing the right thing with respect to protecting the data I share with them

She also complains that the default settings are too permissive, so there's that.

And lastly - I challenge you to not eat grain and sugar for 1 month and then introduce it back. Just do it and come back to me...

Do you understand that this would not tell you whether grain or sugar is the problem? It could be either.

My own doctor is part of the project. Having healthy balance in the gut is the exception, not the norm!!! That is how far we have gone down this road. Seriously, it's juts science and data, data , data....

You sound kind of emotionally religious on the topic. I don't have gut flora problems, or tiredness, or too much gas, or joint pain, or a compromised immune system. Maybe this is a problem of the Netherlands, it's not really an issue in America.

No, that is false. The evidence from numerous studies over the past 10-20 (and even older) years are demonstrating quite clearly that grains are *not* a part of a healthy diet. There are a few people that are *more* sensitive to it, but *everyone* is sensitive to poison.

I want to see numerous studies that say grain is poison. Show them to me.

Comment Chasing features (Score 1, Redundant) 133

I wasn't exactly sure what he meant by "Chasing Features". Because building features into your product is often a good thing, it makes your product better. After reading the article, what he meant was, "We built features the users didn't want." Which of course is a problem.

His point has nothing to do with that, really. His point was, "instead of being a mindless drone, try to figure out how to make the company better." Good advice, poorly written article.

Millennia is a very short amount of time with respect to the evolution of our genes as a species native to this planet and coordinated with the environment.

Humans can evolve surprisingly quickly. Look how quickly Europeans evolved the gene that allows them to drink milk, for example.

Your argument also supposes that rising above hunter/gatherer is a benefit and desirable.

Yeah, it is.

Comment Re:I wish I could buy GMO seeds (Score 1) 295

but that all the types of proteins in the new crop are not known, and their effects when consumed by humans are not known either, neither in the short nor the long span.

Anyone who has these concerns has not actually looked at all the testing that is done on GMO crops before it's released to the public.
