iorek_devon Adding salt to food at table can cut years off your life, study finds

I think there is more than the amount. Salt is a taste enhancer when you cook with it, added to the table it just add a salty taste to your plate.

>The original commenters point still stands though right?

Yes!

> Also isn't addition of salt often a sign the chef/cook messed up and under-salted a dish?

Being a question of taste, literally, it is a subjective question. IMO you should respect the choice of the chef/cook, and if we are only talking of the "messed up" dishes, then I hope the cook dont mess up that often that is justify to add a salt shaker on the table.

On the other side you have people that add salt to every dish, and this before tasting it, those one are on the dark side!

From the article:

> This does not include seasoning during the cooking process.

It just means to not add a salt shaker on the table, not "abstaining from salt in your diet".

iorek_devon Show HN: Copy React code from any site

I think there is great value if you sell this to all the small web agencies.

But it is a bit misleading to say it will copy a component. Components are more than HTML/CSS.

Maybe rephrase it in "templating" ?

No lash back,

but real question on the value, IMO this tool is very useful for beginners, but myself being more experienced now, I would not use it. The html structure and the inline style are not good enough right now.
