Bring back the 40-hour work week http://www.salon.com/2012/03/14/bring_back_the_40_hour_work_...

You're at your wits end, you need a break. Try not to make a serious life decision when you're overworked and stressed to the max. Clarity first - go for a long drive, swim, run or workout. Do something to clear your mind and push out some stress. Physical activity highly advised.

I've worked in a similar environment and even though there has been a lot of research of the dires and productivity loss of exceeding the 40hr work week, we still push ourselves. If you feel this way so does some members of your team probably. The team loses if you all don't take a breather or lighten your load. I don't know the best route - hiring more employees, take less customers, under promise and over deliver on timetables, charge more, etc but a conversation with you partner may help.

Google some of the research done on exceeding 40hr wrk weeks and maybe you can find some better direction.

You can get through this. Best of luck.

A harbinger of a tech bubble?

You don't have to shop at Whole Foods to eat well. Neighborhood gardens, local collectives and independently gardening are growing in popularity for that reason probably. Also, it's nice to know where your food comes from.

Organic produce is priced just like any other good. What is the highest price I can charge that most (or enough) people will pay?

Only way to stop that is for the consumer to not allow it to happen.

Can you direct me to a more thorough resource or are methods too cutting edge to be discussed outside the corners of the internet?

Brunswick, GA | Relocate | Full Time

Business Development, Account Management and Sales/Marketing

Resume: https://angel.co/doug-thorpe

Contact: dougthorpe101 [at] gmail [dot] com

I have over two years of Business Development experience where I helped create and launch a company. I’ve served over three years in an Inside Sales / Account Mgmt role and one year experience as a Sales Manager. In my free time I consult for a few startups.

In total, I have over six years of Marketing experience. I've worked in corporate America, in a startup environment and as a consultant.

Millions die from preventable disease each year. It is this status quo mentality that leads to preventable deaths, the two leaders being Heart Disease and Cancer. I'm not sure who you're trying to convince of your argument by insulting me personally but it is clear you would rather ignore the evidence I've provided than supply a valid counter-argument. Especially when the CDC claims ingredients in vaccines are cancer causing. This is indicative of whose viewpoint is actually based on science (see sources) and whose is faith based.

Insinuating that Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and Thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative) are safe, or actually beneficial, for consumption especially after reviewing the evidence I've given you is folly.

You can keep lying to yourself but to lie to others to promote falsehoods based on such ignorance is even worse. Stop trolling please.

Like I said, you can have your dogma. Irrationality is to believe something based on faith alone and to ignore contradictory evidence.

At any rate, did you know they make soda cans out of aluminum, too? And formaldehyde is used in such a wide variety of products that focusing on vaccines in particular make me pretty sure you have an ulterior motive.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, formaldehyde which "is used in such a wide variety of products," is known to be a human carcinogen. That means it causes cancer.

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry "Oral exposure to aluminum is usually not harmful. Some studies show that people exposed to high levels of aluminum may develop Alzheimer’s disease, but other studies have not found this to be true. We do not know for certain that aluminum causes Alzheimer’s disease." While they don't present a clear opinion one way or the other on aluminum's relationship to neurological disorders, I'll use common sense and not consume foods on a regular basis in which heavy metals may reside.

Very cool and nice job. I agree with 'freehunter,' AngelList Jobs and Cyber Coders is pretty scant too.

Will this board include InfoSec positions in operations, marketing, sales, etc fields?

A non-engineer seeking an in into this industry here, experiencing same headaches.

I'm skeptical of all pharmaceuticals and I think history details why we all should. Millions have died from recalled drugs and currently pharmaceuticals are the 4th leading cause of death in America.

According to the CDC, common substances in vaccines include: Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and Thimerosal (a mercury-containing preservative). Source: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm

I mean really? I won't put these substances in my body and anyone looking at this objectively can see the obvious problems with this. I don't think the "debate is over," and anyone claiming that it is has an ulterior motive.

Aluminum, Formaldehyde and MSG? I can't believe this.

You can have your dogma. I'll be a concern troll who doesn't make major life decisions based on trendy opinions. I will do the research. Thank you for the intelligent debate.

Ideology is the enemy of free thinking.

Is one link to a study so much to ask for?

If it's "basic facts" that surround this issue then why the controversy at all? I don't know the facts, as a reader I'm here to learn. It's a weak piece due to its weak argument. I say weak argument because it has no foundation to build off of, at least not provided by the author. All that is provided is a tone that to think otherwise is nonsensical and silly. Bad science throws out "nonsensical" ideas without testing them. If the vaccine is safe you have to give me more than, "if you think otherwise you're dumb."

I share the fear over bad drugs. Alleviate fear with knowledge and facts, not name calling.

Yes, "in your opinion." I agree as well, all I have is an opinion. I'd like to hear a scientific opinion.

I thought it was awfully presumptuous to leave out science in such an important issue. I guess we'll have to settle for another opinion piece masked as scientific fact.

This is very interesting. Linking those that are suspicious of the MMR vaccine with people who used to think the world is flat, people who just stubbornly "don't want to be right," people who are dumb? Hmm, ok I'll bite.

The writer is acting like the debate has happened and is over, that the reader already knows this truth. This tone should drive suspicion of the actual goal of the writer. Or am I jumping to uneducated conclusions too?

As a reader I want to be educated but in this piece the writer doesn't tell me why the MMR vaccine is safe. I don't know if the MMR vaccine does cause autism but I'd like to at least hear evidence why it doesn't.

After reading this headline my first reaction was a verbal "aww man!" I don't really know why. Is it that I don't trust google? Maybe, but I think it's more that I like supporting the little guy and not the BnL's of the world. When I hear of an acquisition like this, thinking of Valve, I fear the brands I love will never be the same.

Yes I agree totally. Not to mention the crazy growth of eSports.

Is anyone here opposed to net neutrality? Haven't heard a good argument for this action yet.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

A confusing piece about explaining the confusion. Ten minutes of reading, I'm more confused.

"Webdriver Torso" even sounds like a character from a Gibson novel.

Also note that the word "torso" appears multiple times throughout his work. Search for yourself, http://project.cyberpunk.ru/lib/.

Ok I've gone too deep into this

Unsatisfied by the conclusion

Very interesting, I wonder the environment hazards, if any, of such technology.

I'm just pointing out that none of these topics can be or were addressed head on by the author. He instead chose to infer by generalization that food is food, with no supporting documentation just a tactically written "scientific" opinion piece.

For evidence look into the work of Jeffrey Smith. Here's just a 2min clip of some of what you seek, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvopGRiPHdE. Also check out Joel Salatin. Best of luck on your journey.

A sensationalist title with no links to any studies cited.

Why the misinformation? Are we, the readers, expected to be so ignorant to think that foods grown in our gardens are equal (in health) to those found at our local fast food restaurant?

No mention of the relationship between genetically modified foods, artificial sweeteners, organic food, oxygen, etc to disease.

Another failure of the fourth-estate to inform the public.

#FAIL

complete bunk

No mention of the demonization of fat and promotion of artificial sweeteners and additives promoted and used to "fix" the fat problem.

What's with a news source promoting misinformation?

21 high score. this is silly
