It's quite possible that Uber will create the market by and then be eclipsed by other players who are less unethical.
It's odd that there isn't a single spreadsheet with all the data on it, but it probably wouldn't take more than a few days and a few interns to generate that.
"Step into candlelight, [...] the iPhone trails the DSLRs by about 10 years, and the Nokia about 8. "
TL;DR:
- "37 healthy volunteers"
- "cocoa flavanol-containing test drink prepared specifically for research purposes was produced by the food company Mars"
- "Most methods of processing cocoa remove many of the flavanols found in the raw plant"
- "The high-flavanol group also performed significantly better on the memory test. “If a participant had the memory of a typical 60-year-old at the beginning of the study, after three months that person on average had the memory of a typical 30- or 40-year-old,” "
- "The researchers point out that the product used in the study is not the same as chocolate, and they caution against an increase in chocolate consumption in an attempt to gain this effect."
It looks like Google's taking on Evernote with Keep.
The almost 50% more context switches for normal Postgres is very telling. If those had any disk implication which is quite possible with the 512Mb of RAM, it could easily explain the discrepancy.
Also, being alone is clearly so distressing to many people that they would rather shock themselves than be alone - http://news.sciencemag.org/brain-behavior/2014/07/people-wou...
While I believe that you were genuinely trying to be helpful to the community by offering an easy way to be healthier, we are generally a suspicious bunch and when there are a number of claims made based on unsupported hypotheses, there's going to be complaints.
It's one thing to say: "I do this and it seemed to do good things for me". It's another to say "I do this and so should you".
Is there any evidence that the average geek is less healthy than the average person?

The other option for people wanting a car journey is the "mini-cab" which can be booked to collect from any specific location but must offer a fare in advance of the journey. In order to transport people for money, mini-cab drivers are licensed and have a background check done.
Uber drivers in London must have the mini-cab license so this is a question around the black cab monopoly. As with any government-provided monopoly, the incumbents are keen to maintain the status quo while the newcomers are fighting for change. Any advances that Uber makes will benefit all mini-cab companies and most importantly, passengers.
