Glancing quickly at the headline, "Even female Uber drivers get paid less", one may get the impression that women drivers are discriminated against. The article could have gone with "Even female Uber drivers earn less than male drivers", but that phrase doesn't carry the same biting edge, does it..
Lovely!! Dr. Doug Lisle sure knows how to present his argument. I regularly listen to his podcasts on Dr. McDougall's Youtube page (you too?)
In short, I appreciate how Dr. Lisle breaks down what appears to be a complex behavior into a rather simple set of smaller responses to internal anxieties ("carb bad", can't have have potatoes or some nonsense like that) or stimuli which cynically hijack our mind's response to tastes (like the so-called "flavor bursts" that food scientists work to re-create in the mouths of people eating their snacks).
I read the article and agree with their argument that Americans are over-prescribed and over-treated relative to their ailments. However, I did not see a solution to this which would make a significant impact. I've also read about the Ornish study, which describes the results from the only diet known to prevent and revert heart disease. It's a shame that the notion of a low-fat, whole-plant-based diet is only now starting to get noticed in the media, but I am grateful to see it happening. Drs. John McDougall, Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, Pamela Popper and others are doing incredible work, and I am glad to see more people adopting their approach.
I reboot my computer after apt-get dist-upgrading, reboot, and get a blank screen responsive only to Magic Sysreq[1] (and probably SSH). It's the video driver issue: no nvidia module is available for loading. I think that any time apt-get installs a new kernel, it needs to re-install the nvidia drivers. The solution I've found (so far) is to manually issue apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-375 after any apt-get dist-upgrade has updated the Linux kernel.
Anyway. It's 2017. Why am I still dealing with this shit?
That's great that you eliminated processed food. Try to get your total cholesterol under 150. This page[1] mentions the Framingham Study[2], which showed that "only patients with cholesterol levels of less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) achieve the lowest coronary artery disease risk. In the first 50 years of the Framingham study, only five subjects with cholesterol levels of less than 150 mg/dl developed coronary artery disease. Rural residents in the developing areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America typically have total-cholesterol levels of about 125-140, and they do not develop coronary artery disease."
If you want to prevent heart disease, stop eating saturted fat and cholesterol and stick with a low-fat whole-plant-based diet. This knowledge is not new; this stuff has been known for almost a hundred years now, yet we're still spending money dancing around the fact that eating animals and their byproducts leads to heart disease.
Oh, you mean the International scientific community's attempt to redefine the Kilogram? It's called the "dildo" but they are having trouble all agreeing on the proper pronunciation. So for now they're continuing to measure up against this dildo-shaped hunk of alloy that apparently gains weight over the years and every so often has to be rubbed off ceremoniously by a skilled handler with a strap of leather dipped in alcohol.
DRM, that's the kicker. Talk about HTML5 all we want--fact is, there still ain't a standard video type. I can see MS continuing to pull all sorts of nasty lock-in strategies even with open standards.
Roku's nice and all, but they did a couple of things that really turned me off: First, they make it a mandatory to sign up an online account with them on-line in order to just use the device. Yet another account, sigh. I do not understand why I need to do this if the only thing I am using my Roku player for is streaming from my Netflix account. Next, they required collecting my credit card info as part of signing up with their online account. The credit card info gets used for purchasing content through the Roku device. But I had no intention of using it for anything besides Netflix. And there's no way to get around it, which is why I called them and forced them to give me access without any credit card info. This is ridiculous. Everyone these days seems to want the maximum information they can collect on you. I'm considering returning this device in favor of another one that's not so intrusive as to demand my credit card info right off the bat and track what I watch through yet another online account.
I agree with you. This is what I had meant to convey.. perhaps these attacks are already too entrenched in their systems for them to continue with any modicum of confidence.
I don't consider negotiating for hostages "[getting]" on just fine". And you didn't address how today Iran is the chief financier of Hezbollah and Hamas.
I bet they're running scared now, because the fact of the matter is that they can never again be certain that a worm is not operating surreptitiously on their systems. So what else do we expect them to say?
"Most storage providers -- if they offer encryption at all -- only use one encryption key per account. Instead, SpiderOak uses a nested system of many small scoped encryption keys. When you create a ShareRoom, the SpiderOak client makes the encryption keys of appropriate scope for the contents of that share room public. This makes it possible for our webservers to present the contents to visitors, but nothing beyond the Share Room is known.
So, the upload transaction to create a new ShareRoom and suddenly be sharing a lot of data within your account is very small, and your ShareRoom is ready for company very soon."
I would think that any reputable service would want to protect/themselves/ with a zero-knowledge policy (a true ZK policy where the customer and only the customer has the password). That way when they get a subpoena for customer data, they can hand it over without worrying about being connected to its supposed contents.
Anecdotal. Perhaps your experience was not to your liking; for me it works great. Besides, you can talk to their support people and developers on IRC (how many other services let you do that, really?)

Livestock pollutes far more. We can take direct action against it by not buying products made from animals and their secretions.

Hey that was me up there with the bulldozer suggestion :) Thanks for letting me know it made others laugh!
...for hoarding whorecookies.
Sounds like "anonymity on the Internet has to go away" for his business model to work. Blech.

Israel ain't the one threatening to destroy Iran, though. Come down from your fifty-thousand-foot view some time and examine the issue critically.
I don't consider negotiating for hostages "[getting]" on just fine". And you didn't address how today Iran is the chief financier of Hezbollah and Hamas.
Israel and Iran got along fine until Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Nowadays Iran is the chief financier of Hezbollah and Hamas.
I bet they're running scared now, because the fact of the matter is that they can never again be certain that a worm is not operating surreptitiously on their systems. So what else do we expect them to say?
That's not the point here. The Iranian people gain nothing from nuclear weapons testing, so this won't affect them. Good riddance.
Eat it, bitches.
