If this is _why then there's no need for that and we should, in fact, be supportive of someone who gave to much to the community and buy the book.


The odds that's actually _why are pretty low.


Stainless can leach too. Magnetic stainless steel is fine, though.


> Stainless can leach too.

Leach what, though? If it leaches iron, it might be more of a benefit than a problem, or at least neutral. (You can overdose on iron, but it's uncommon.)


Manganese.


I spent the last 30 minutes consulting the literature, I can't find any studies that indicating stainless steel leaches manganese. I realize it was mentioned in that atlantic article but they didn't cite any sources. Do you have a source indicating SS leaches Mn?


> Do you have a source indicating SS leaches Mn?

I don't. Although maybe acidic food?

And like I said in another comment, I'm not worried about it. But some people are.


You won't believe what happened next.

One weird trick...


I love you, too, BrainScraps! I made this for you: http://i.imgur.com/xNOzWJz.jpg


Auuugh! Jason is creepin' on me! Best Day Evarrrr!


I'm reasonably sure this HN submission came from a discussion on the latest Geek Friday (http://5by5.tv/geekfriday/59). I say this because someone posted the article to the Google+ group (https://plus.google.com/107635569257603441624/posts/HmNguCkZ...) and then it wound up here. It's a pretty interesting article, though I still think heels and wedge shoes are, at this point, an elaborate prank.


Nope, no relation that I know of.


That is correct.


This is an interesting start up and concept but it seems like there's a pretty high barrier to entry. In order to use this site you have to place a lot of trust in it to:

* Be secure with your credentials to sites * Reliably figure out that you are dead * Trust that your next of kin will figure out the key you've set up

It's certainly a useful concept and much better than hoping your loved one placed the credentials somewhere you could access them.


An easy solution:

Encrypt your package using a fresh private key. Send the package to the will handler (such as PassMyWill), but not the key. Send the key to all the will recipients.

Upon the execution of your will, your recipients get the package that they can already open with their key.

The trick becomes to keep the package opaque to the will handler, and to keep the recipients from gaining access to the package prematurely.


I think the best solution in this space would be to implement this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamirs_Secret_Sharing

Then you could nominate some family members, friends, significant other, such that some minimum number of them were required to collaborate to decrypt the files.


Double-encrypt the package with a key that you give to PassMyWill and that you give to the recipients. Give the package to everyone.


So many of these articles do not distinguish between simple and complex carbs and lump them all together. There is a difference between 20g of carbs from a piece of fruit vs 20g carbs from, say, pasta.


I'm not sure the difference is that big. Amylase in your saliva starts breaking down starches to glucose even before you swallow. Non-digestible carbs (fiber), protein and fat can slow down the process, however.


Perhaps they will improve the new Skype client.


Does anyone know whether this will impact business accounts? I haven't been able to find any information on that.
