Woman in tech here. I almost skipped reading the post because I instinctively thought "bro pages", like man pages but for bros. There are lots of bad ideas out there, shame this is a great idea with a name that inadvertantly sabotages it.
This is like saying, I'm an employer and I want you to expose your fb profile to me so I can see the answers to all the questions it is illegal for me to ask you in your interview.
I sometimes feel like I have the opposite problem. I can come up with the algorithm which requires an understanding of why it works on the problem, but then I lose my train of thought while coding it (albeit this is happening in stressful interview write-on-the-whiteboard-while-I-judge-you situations).
Even if you don't save it explicitly, I find my browser cache is full of facebook photos when I go to clear it, so can retrieve it through there after the fact as well.
Along the same lines, lots of companies make sunscreen in 10x ml quantities for the associated benefits. When the agent wanted to take away my 106 ml bottle, I asked if I could squeeze 6 ml out and take it on. No dice.
I think we need a stufftheTSAconfiscated.tumblr.com.
I went through for a job interview and I had a cast on and a blow dryer and flat iron in my luggage. They swabbed my cast, and took the items and made me wait while they checked them out. I bet someone walked away that day with perfectly styled hair.
Even if that's true, the food industry does all kinds of lobbying and has ties with agricultural companies and has instilled upon us this conventional wisdom that whole grains are great for you and calories in = calories out with no distinction between types of calories.
Yeah, so two wrongs don't make a right, but I think he's justified that he feels like making extreme conclusions will make people question the conventional wisdom that has been steering us in the opposite (and in my opinion, wrong) direction.
A lot of that research starts both sets of mice on high carb diets, then draws the wrong conclusions about how the little fat they received affected the groups.
It's ridiculous to claim that you can eat as much X as you desire and not gain weight, for most X except maybe celery.
The point is that protein and fat satisfy hunger in a way that our bodies have evolved to process. And the fact is, after eating a bit of protein and fat, you won't DESIRE to eat any more.
