No, the libertarian obsession with the gold standard and other poor economic policies preclude the Economist from being lumped in with them.

> libertarian obsession with the gold standard

I think it's more of an aversion to fiat currency, than an obsession with the gold standard. The jury is still out on that one, we haven't even broken the century mark on that.

Where is this data coming from? I'm assuming you have law school admissions data from somewhere?

For creatine, while it is true that the supplement serves to help you push out an extra rep or two, I've literally never heard of anyone getting "overuse injuries" due to starting creatine. It's just a scare tactic on one of the best-studied supplements out there. Read up on it here: http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/

[If it matters, I'm a not very competitive powerlifter who has been lifting for nearly two years]

Sure. Here's the classic example: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/...

Thanks! It's nice to be proven wrong sometimes.

Seconding WorkFlowy. I started using it a couple months ago and haven't turned back since. I showed it to my (not very technologically savvy) wife, and she loves it too. It's great for sharing the mobile interface is nice, and I like how simple it is.

(sorry if this sounds like an advertisement but it's great to actually have a to-do list manager that I actually like)

>All you need to do is go to sleep around the time that the sun goes down. It's just that "easy".

What about in December when the sun sets around 16:30? Surely people aren't getting in bed then?

They are displayed in two cases:

1) When you turn your Kindle off, there will be a full-screen ad.

2) When browsing books at the main menu, a small horizontal bar across the bottom of the screen will display an ad. You only come to this screen by choice, though -- if you were in the middle of a book when turning off your Kindle, when you turn it back on it will go straight to where you were in the book without showing this menu.

Since they never interfere with reading, they are extremely non-intrusive. I think they are personalized but not positive.

Considering that Amazon knows about most of my online purchases from the past 10 years, the kinds of ads they show indicate that they are not at all targeted. Almost disappointingly so.

>I've built an extremely useful service but only 1 in 100 was willing to pay, which is ridiculous to say.

To play devil's advocate, if only 1 in 100 people are willing to pay for your service, how useful can it really be? I'd think those 100 people are more qualified to judge how useful it is for them than the person who built the service.

Well, we were competing against "free" service offered by big co. Average user doesn't want to pay. They would say us, "ohh we will go to free service by big co". And I learnt big lesson that you can't compete against big co's especially their free products directly.

>One feature I have wanted that would solve a frustration I have with Strava is the ability to quickly "prune" a ride [...] The app could even autodetect part you may want to prune by recognizing when your GPS coordinates remain relatively static for extended periods or time.

Strava does do this. If you look at a ride, note the difference between Elapsed Time and Time. Elapsed Time is the time you spent moving.

>Still, the average restaurant worker, at least around here, is very young, and by definition, unless you're going to an upscale restaurant, likely not getting much money.

Since when is the definition of a restaurant worker someone who does not make much money? Especially those not working fast food?

Note "likely". Remember what I said about minimum wage for tipped employees?

Naturally this only applies to the waiting staff, but then again, the chefs aren't going to be the ones handling your phone.
