Nonetheless, if you do nothing else to promote your own graceful aging, take a multi-vitamin every day.
No diet is perfect, and you'll miss some essential vitamin or mineral no matter how careful you are. And let's face it, most of us eat often for flavor or convienience rather than nutrition.
The argument made is timely, panders to the public's mistrust of all things big/corporate, and appears plausible on its surface....yet addresses the actual rule inaccurately. Classic hayperson.
I wonder if Craigslist gets too much bad publicity here because of their Worldwide presence.
There are other venues available for those wishing to meet & kill a stranger, even down to every local paper's classified section, though those numbers would be slightly more difficult to compile.
Though you shouldn't bet on it, as there are some thinking-challenged folks out there stealing for fun and profit, most criminals would avoid the police station for any transaction possible. Generally they have bad memories of that place. Folks looking to bag a stranger will just look elsewhere to set up the meet-and-greet.
Regarding self: without some wicked discipline, the needs of your present self overwhelmingly seem to outweigh consideration of what's beneficial to future you. Perhaps this is biological. The need to survive the day would trump some perceived future benefit.
Regarding insight: placing yourself into the vantage point of another is an important part of the key, but you still need objective and accurate self-appraisal. For me, that's the more difficult part.
It's great we live in a relatively wealthy and enlightened time where the special needs of the few can be borne by the many. The things I'm taking daily for granted that others still only dream to do! And I still can't explain why I continue to allow myself to have an occasional bad day, despite this awareness.
Steve believed you had to control every brush stroke from beginning to end. Not because he was a control freak, but because he had a passion for perfection.
Errr, the two conditions may not be mutually exclusive, but perfection is in the eye of the beholder.
The company alpha can control every brush stroke to his complete satisfaction and still be mistaken in his vision.
Eased out of the company he started in a garage, I believe Jobs was just the right mix of had something to prove and accurate vision. Being a hands-on-every-stage individual often implies an inability to delegate to or trust coworkers, so it isn't always a successful way to manage.
Embedding AI in the infrastructure of virtually everything in the first World has largely gone unnoticed, and indeed, once something wonderful is regarded as commonplace folks largely forget it is fueled by artificial intelligence.
AI has advanced, simply not in the way popular culture predicted it once would.
There will be little need for human-like replicants running about while humans themselves are inexpensively abundant.
Outside the realm of computer savvy individuals like those who frequent/., the method you describe is simply beyond the capabilities of many who steal for a living.
Our other rights aren't as firm as America either, here it is Constitutional to limit speech in cases such as child porn or national secrets unlike America where any law limiting speech is unconstitutional and you have the madness of obvious unconstitutional laws being enforced by the courts.
I think I'd rather put up with the madness of the court's evaluation of each individual case of liberty, and whether or not they compromise the rights of others, than to have certain ones crossed off the list to begin with.
They keep the shrinking number of interested voting citizens involved in the political process, but set them at each other's throats in a no-win, us versus them bickering match.
Since both sides are evil, and the contestants takes turns winning every few years, the ruling class stays in power as you pretend your side is somehow different and better.
For those {like me} not well versed on the Notwithstanding Clause, apparently, there is such a thing in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (think Bill of Rights).
It appears to be a way around your aforementioned personal guaranteed freedoms, in say, a government-dictated need.
It sounds a little sketchy at first, unless you consider that at least the Canadian gov't was letting their citizens know right up front that it might be necessary to eminent domain your guaranteed rights... they were much less explicit with how things might work one nation south of there.
One wonders how Comcast/TimeWarner will behave after the merger.
After being held accountable for, what to them, is tens of dollars in past due franchise fees, and then bribing gov't officials fully & legally right under our noses,
I would say their incentive to improve is infinitesimal.

In other news, accessing your banking information using Starbucks wifi isn't as safe as you'd like.

but I can see other other firms and venues piggybacking on this if it becomes widespread.

Why are the headlines so big? Why is there 3 inches of blank space between paragraphs?
Catering to our demographic.?.?
The corporatocracy will not have it's growth stunted regardless of political affiliation.

(beyond the halls of this honorable posting forum), you can bet your bottom someone will be doing it by the end of the week.

Well written.
This is what happens when all eight little spider legs run in concert across the shag carpet, sock-footed, in December.

Amazon: .1% operating margin.
Apple: 29.3% operating margin.
Zed and Zee, and in Canadia, they leave the you in labour, honour, and valour where it belongs. c here
it is also relevant that drunk people believe they perform better on driving tests than they actually do.
While sexy during the courtship ritual, blind confidence is something of a fickle mistress in many other applications.
And the truly exceptional separate themselves from there: they always have a little more "try" in them than the others.
Entitlement and freedom from obstacles is magnus infitialis.
