...many definitions of the word "hack" is a clever solution for a computer gram. When writing code, that is, the fewer steps the better; simplicity is key. One can't help but think of that every time Steve Jobs unveils a new Apple product...

I was a little skeptical about that, in part because we're not quite sure we can measure calorie [intake] precisely enough. [It's hard for people to track their portion sizes to the gram, or even be sure of exactly what they're eating, especially if they ever eat out.] But in recent five-year feeding study in monkeys - they're animals so you can control their diets - the monkeys on the high-trans-fat diet gained more weight.

And how could an erudite, well-traveled Frenchman who alludes throughout his book to canonical authors and works - from Homer to Boccaccio to fellow French writers like Dumas and Molière - not have been familiar with Baudelaire's 19th century writings about drugs, hashish in particular? One can only speculate that...
