Aren't those drinks full of sugar too? How much better than soda are they?

Are you fresh out of school? Are you more junior than this other engineer? I feel like you might be suffering what I have seen in a lot of engineers who are fresh out of school, where they want to question everything, argue about things, and constantly look for ways to prove a proven engineer wrong. it's like they are trying to make a name for themselves. I've seen this in several jr. levels to varying extents. Just make sure you aren't being like that.

If you are more Jr., make sure you are taking the other engineer's advice. Even if he/she is being abrasive, he/she may have valid points. It may also be the case that they are annoyed that you aren't paying them the respect they feel they deserve as the more Sr level engineer.

As davidholmesnyc said, you can't do anything about it, other than adjust your own approach. You will not get the other person to change. If it's a big enough problem, find another job. Complaining to a higher up will not help, sadly.

Don't forget, the nutrition bloggers (paleo, vegan, etc) will get more fuel for cherry picked blog posts so they can sell more ads, products, newsletter sponsorships, etc.

Can someone give a really brief description of what service discovery is, and when/why one would need it?

What's wrong with simply having a config file that tells your code the URL for each service it depends on (assuming my understanding of what discovery is is valid)?

BeyondPod, and player.fm to listen to podcasts. Yes, people still listen to podcasts.

There was a thread about what software related podcasts people listen to here a week or two ago, you should look for that.

Not a fan of this writing style. Get to the point. But first, have a point to make (there was none).

Are there any other interesting snp's to check for (not necessarily related to cognition)? I didn't realize that 23andme had this feature. I am also TT for the Klotho one.

Check IPEDS. You can also license or buy this type of data from private companies. The publishers / entities that release school rankings are who you would license it from.

"Mother in Law's Tongue" does well indoors, and is also supposedly good at improving indoor air quality.

I've been wondering the same thing. If they offer free, decent coffee, the price can be similar to working from a cafe (which I do sometimes).

It's either going to become one or the other isn't it? (not sarcastic)

I use android and don't have an iOS device, so I can't see your app. But even if you made it an android app, I wouldn't use it because I don't see any reason why I would install an app for this.

I think a website would reach the broadest audience, and I would actually try it out.

That's not what mobile first means.
