Technically, as of this moment, you cannot buy more online...

I disagree. Once a certain skill level is achieved, money can be taken off the table. When you have a six figure salary, more money is not as significant as it once was. After this threshold is crossed, you gain the luxury of mostly choosing where to work.

I definitely notice a huge difference in desire to get up in the morning depending on the importance of what I'm working on. If it's menial or ultimately unimportant work, I can feel burned out working 30-40 hour weeks. If it's world changing stuff that's never been done before and will save thousands or millions of lives, I feel engaged working 60-80 hours a week.

When an employer is trying to recruit me, they don't need to offer more money than everyone else. They need to sell me on the importance of what I will be working on. For example, autonomous vehicles present continuous research and engineering challenges for which you often must provide the first solution anyone has ever devised. This addresses the problem of menial work. Accelerating the overall global development, production, and adoption of autonomous vehicles by a single day could save over a thousand lives. This addresses the problem of importance of work.

At the end of the day, money is secondary. I need enough that I don't need to worry about struggling financially; but, the primary reason I will accept an offer has nothing to do with money. We spend a large portion of our lives working. So, we better enjoy whatever it is that we do.

They have some very serious talent on their payroll. I noticed Yann LeCun (inventor of convolutional neural networks and head of Facebook's new AI lab) congratulated Gary Bradski on the funding. If you're not familiar with him, here's his LinkedIn profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/garybradski

Max Keyboard were the first to crack N-Key rollover over USB. Can't say enough about their NightHawk X8...

I don't usually get angry just from seeing a product promo. But, this has done it. Note that the glasses are stationary for all but one shot where the movement is slow and linear and it still shows tracking error. If it's not ready, it's not ready. They should have kept their reputation in tact and tried again in a few years rather than trying to sell a bad prototype under a false banner.

My attention is directed toward the Oculus Rift. I own the dev kit and have been following Oculus VR closely. Save your VR/AR gadget money for their consumer release if you want something that lives up to the hype and delivers on its promises.

The NSA stole the prism image for the logo from a professional photographer without permission. In theory, that photographer could have had the products pulled due to the photo copyright.

To anyone seriously considering doing something like this, you will find that the carbs are challenging to get into a shake.

You can get all the right vitamins and minerals. On that note, don't use calcium carbonate like he does unless you want kidney stones; use calcium citrate.

You can get high quality CFM whey protein assuming you're okay with getting all your protein from whey (grilled chicken is still a better idea for other reasons).

However, the carbs take up a lot of volume. You can use steel cut oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice... (brown rice has arsenic) You will find that it doesn't fit well in the shake. It's easier to eat it as food. My experience so far anyway...

I was simply looking at products available on bodybuilding.com. You can probably find it cheaper from other sources. You also want to make sure they don't contain Stevia or artificial sweeteners like Acesulfame Potassium. They both can have negative health effects; especially when consumed regularly in large amounts.

I read his blog posts leading up to this and liked the idea. So, I decided to try it myself. After many revisions, I finally figured out a good way of doing it and it ended up being more expensive than just eating regular grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, etc.

He is using Maltodextrin for carbs. It likely contains Glutamic Acid and has a horrible glycemic index. You might as well eat sugar. I don't know what he is using for protein; but, I guarantee it sucks. The correct approach would be to use cross flow microfiltered whey protein because it retains all of the essential amino acids. It's also as expensive as Greenwise/Whole Foods chicken. Cheaper methods tend to lose certain essential amino acids.

Another issue is the absence of toxins. Believe it or not, consuming the toxins contained in whole foods makes us more robust. There is actual research that has analyzed these effects.
