    We have UTC. Who gives a fuck what anyone wants. When it matters we always use a standard base time. If your dumb ass wants to complicate everything to shift a single meaningless perception feel free to handle your own arbitrary translation. Good luck.

    "Despite advances in [AI], this is something that even the most advanced machine-learning algorithms still struggle with today."

    Because the problem is not a problem and it is not solvable. It is a manufactured issue born from our biases and even the smartest human wouldn't be able to determine if the offensive name was correct without establishing context and fact through trust. We haven't even solved for trust, how can we expect a machine with limited context and scope to determine the answer? The required amount of data and computing power is so severe in relation to the "problem" that it would be easier just to change your fucking name to something other than God damned weiner.

    Yeah that's the thing...it is so easy to use and already comes with an API. The only reason your typical developer would put anything behind a proxy is to graft an API onto it.

    I guess. It is usually just heads down developers driving to get shit done. No time for configuring servers or firewalls. Much to blame are the server developers who ship misconfigured servers that work. These servers should force you through a wizard that requires prod level configuration. But alas, a competing product would focus on ease of use and people would gravitate to it. Pretty much the case with Mongo and the like.

    Right. With the release of this information China and several others are scrambling to create a press release besting this news. Wait about a week or two.

    No but they are poking at the Japanese every day in the hopes that they will fuck up and fire on them. The Chinese government are true unabashed fucking assholes of the highest order. If you believe differently you should probably study up on current events. Start by looking at thier truly dystopian face tracking, social scoring nationwide surveillance system.

    Try getting healthy food prepared for you. Eating out is almost off the table if you are eating healthy. I eat plant based whole foods which are nearly impossible to find even at vegetarian friendly restaurants.

    I recently ate a medeterranian restaurant that sourced all of thier vegetables, cheese and grass fed meat locally but thier pita wraps and pasta were made of refined flour. I asked before hand if the wraps or pasta were whole grain and it was deer in the headlights. We have a long way to go.

    If you publish stupid studies like this you get more money to publish more stupid studies. Coronary fucking heart disease comes from meat protien heavy diets, refined flour, and sugar that you consume hand over fist. Anything to distract from this fact is rewarded.

    Taxes have to be low AND interest rates have to be high to outstrip the gains of the stock market, even in a utopia without graft and crony capitalism. Socking money away is not and never will be "saving" unless taxes are nearly non-existant as they were in the past.

    Bullshit. You don't need to measure anything. You just need to eat right. Sloughing cow milk is not part of that.

    Yeah...and this is just one of many problems you would have being calorie deficient. You get rickets because you are fucking starving. Eating shoe leather or Ritz crackers as your primary diet will get you there pretty quick.

    I have noticed that most vegetarians eat like shit. Can you give some examples of your typical meals with details as to the ingredients?

  18. Kale is an easy way to get a wide spectrum of nutrients naturally. Cruciferous plants are all know detoxifiers and healers. Eat the fuck out of heaps of kale, cabbage, broccoli, and bok Choi and see how good you feel. Cover it in rich unrefined oils and vinegar. Warrior food.

    I know why they are confused. Everyone is still beating around the bush. Our food supply which is thought to be one of the shining crown jewels of our civilization is literally killing us. The China study revealed sever issues with elevated protien intake. Most of the food readily available is made of refined grain, sugar, and oils. Refined, as in all the nutrients removed. Gobs of whole foods and very light amounts of animal protein will provide all the nutrients you need and allow your body to purge cancer and all other chronic diseases.

    Genetic cancer is extremely rare...just 2%. We have significant portions of the population getting cancer...far above 2%.

    Look at a graph of chronic disease and you will clearly see the rise, and it is not getting any better.

    People focus on diabetes, type 2, but it is really just the symptoms of you killing yourself with shit food...and a harbinger of other diseases soon to follow. Caused by refined flour and sugar. Just stop eating the shit.

    Heart disease is caused by excessive protien intake. You can eat whole grains and vegetables and get plenty of protien. There are prize fighters and other accomplished athletes who are vegans for fucks sake.

    All of this has been known since the eighties.

  20. Clean up the cities by removing as many roads as possible. Build common areas for pedestrians and bicycles where those streets used to be. This is happening in some European cities. At that point public transport will explode because there will be a market for it.
