The question remains - how does one determine if one is as healthy as one might be? If one believe Steven Wm Fowkes in this google tech talk - vitamin deficiency can be self determined using vitamins and a daily regimen of brain-alertness measurement using tetris.
So, I'd only need to not take multivitamins if after taking multivitamins, I find that there's no improvement in my alertness.
It's clearly as simple as this:
(a) We want to control everything important
(b) Bitcoin is becoming important
(c) We will do whatever necessary to control Bitcoin

Could it be at all possible that the employer wants to attract someone that can *gasp* actually do the job? i.e. has the skills they'll need day-to-day?
I see the same highly detailed specs in the UK but in that case they do actually want someone qualified.
Perhaps everyone should wear google glass and record everything that's seen. Cameras pointing at the eyes to determine the point of interest within the external scene would provide missing data.
Yes, I do require financial compensation when this starts to happen:D
I've noticed that douchbaginess is self-correcting if you're paying attention; e.g. traffic is flowing along nicely then bam, a blockage occurs (likely due to some douchbag exhibiting an accelerate-hard/break-hard pattern up ahead) and traffic slows; the alert douchbags all jump smoothly into the fast lane, which leaves the other lanes with a lower douchbag-ratio, enabling them to overtake the 'fast' lane. Awesome. Yay, I drive a lot and notice these things:S
Unfortunately not; I bought the car new, it was twice the value of my current car; I had my own insurance and often drove at 70 in 30 zones and has fully-comprehensive insurance. I'm in the UK fyi.
It occurs to me that previously, there was a feedback loop in operation; that crashes are an unambiguous indicator of unsafe driving; whereas, now, will it be enough for the insurance company to say "nu-uh, your driving is unsafe" and thus break the loop, setting them free to be more imaginative when setting premiums?
Having said that, my insurance premiums are already a work of creative and greedy minds fiction - I've been driving for twenty-five years and am way safer now than I was when I owned my first sporty car. I now drive a far more sedate car yet my premiums are over THREE times what they were back then, this ignoring the effects of inflation. What's more, there is no significant variation in premiums between insurers and third-party-fire-and-theft premiums are essentially the same as fully-comprehensive; I feel as though I'm a fish, compelled to be in a barrel (we're required to have one of the two types of insurance), around which stand the heads of the various insurance companies with infinite-ammo shotguns:S Isn't there supposed to be *competition* in the marketplace?
i.e. is safe driving, ponderously slow driving that may indeed reduce ones own collisions but enrages everyone else around, causing their accident rate to increase. Hopefully not.

Yep so the UN declares that we all have the right to dry water. Yay.

You can get a bunch of stuff from McDonald's for under $4. Claiming it is food is flat out wrong.

There's no place on slashdot for people that read the summary - let alone the article! Get ur pitchforks ppl...
Ahh yes, the elusively-defined well-balanced diet.
Mmm-hmm; "How would you like to come around to my place for some multivitamins?" doesn't sound quite so appealing.
you have fifteen picoseconds to comply!!!
Awesome - I can't wait until the script kiddies get hold of this and use it hack people and create armies of zombies.
It's nice that congress-critters are aiming for self-improvement but why should the Chimps have to suffer through that?
Rube Goldberg much?
Standard mug, pour, whack some milk in, drink in ten-fifteen. Problem solved.

A common misunderstanding - this happens at the level of the gene, not the individual containing the gene.
Warning: you'll need to be ADHD-free as the video is thirty minutes long :D
It's not just you Yanks, either. Check out this interview hosted by Andrew Marr from the BBC with Noam Chomsky:

If you were truly prescient, you'd have avoided the apparently-blind driver situation entirely :D

...is who decides what is safe driving?
What is this 'non-US' concept of which you speak?
Uhh, hello? Each occupied prison place is income for said government.
