Fat acceptance helped me lose weight - 265 to 175 lbs by going keto. It's been a year and a half and I still eat lots of fat. Plenty of protein too and a small amount of unprocesed carbs with veggies. Just avoid the middle aisles of the grocery store and most people will resume a healthy weight.
Microsoft is starting to become impressively dynamic. Before it was always the implicit exercise of power - now they're in your face about it and are being honest that you probably don't know what you're doing anyway.
Once Windows 10 is entirely pervasive then companies can just outsource their whole IT infrastructure administration to Redmond. Search your feelings - you know this to be true.
It's pretty bad, but Google is patching essential services when it updates 'Google Play Services' in a way that most carriers would have balked at just a year or two.
The carriers suck, the forcing of signed bootloaders sucks, the update process sucks, the arrangement with MVNO's sucks, and all of it reduces overall security and functionality. Carrier profit is the primary factor that went into all of this. Yet this is exactly what is expected from such a heavily-regulated and regulatory-captured market, so let's not try to act all surprised and outraged.
A little competition in the space would do wonders, but don't hold your breath because the manufacturers' hands are tie by the carriers, and despite their FCC-granted monopolies, they can arbitrarily refuse to allow real competitors' devices on the network. It won't be until somebody sends out a worm that bricks every device that's Stagefright-vulnerable that anything will really change. Then maybe we can get mostly IP devices with a common-carrier arrangement.
At this point, there should be several class-action suits brewing against the carriers for locking people into insecure devices. We should want the carriers to have legitimate common-carrier protections, not cartel-enhancing protections no matter what they do.
There's already a federal court ruling that it's a fifth amendment violation to compel a password unless there is already evidence that the password is hiding convicting data. The All Writs Act is inferior to the Constitution so the judge's action is illegal and he should be held personally liable for violating this person's civil rights. At least PA is not afraid to send a corrupt judge to prison once in a while.
Assuming that the Universe is a simulation because it is quantized is just making shit up. How could you possibly falsify such a theory?
We build models about how it could work, see what predictions the model makes, and look for things that look like that for evidence. For instance, the noise between 10^-27 and h from the Polish gravity wave experiment and the Fermilab model. If the noise weren't there, that model would have been falsified.
All we ever have are theories. We test them, and if their predictions are false, then we discard them and move on, leaving standing the ones that haven't yet been falsified.
Burning fossil fuels may even become illegal, if not because of global warming and pollution then because it's far more valuable to use hydrocarbons as a raw material for industry. Burning money is silly.
If it's actually more valuable, you don't need to worry about people 'burning money'. The literal example is actually quite apropos: nobody heats their homes with $100 bills.
Now, we might need better tech and financial instruments to address the capital costs, but if the value is there and such instruments are not made illegal (like most of the instruments that are proven to help poor people, like savings lotteries) then the price system can easily work this out.
who wants to worry about being out of work due to some social media post?
Who wants to work for a place that would care? It's quite a favor to the market, really - businesses that treat their employees this way *should* be driven into the ground by losing all their top talent.
And, to be clear, almost all the top-talent people 'misbehave' in their free time.

I gave it a shot when I was learning how the.onion protocol works, and as soon as I logged in, it flagged the activity as suspicious and invalidated the cookie on all my other devices. It's not some uber-protective measure - it literally warned me that the login was suspicious.
That's not what FB would do if it were trying to encourage opportunistic privacy. That the hidden service exists seems to just be to pay lip service to privacy advocates.
To be fair, he's just repeating The Simulation Argument. There is some suggestive data from the Polish gravity wave experiment. There is noise below 10^-27, when there shouldn't be down to the Plank length. The trick is, to simulate our laws of physics, nothing between 10^-27 and h is significant. Anybody who's ever implemented a hidden-line-removal algorithm understands the simple efficiency hack of not calculating the unseeable.
I've got Prime but don't use anything except the shipping. This looks like more stupidity like discontinuing Chromecast and AppleTV.
I don't use Amazon Video because the value proposition sucks, not because I have Chromecasts. I guess non-frugal people might buy more, because otherwise it would be stupid *and* unprofitable.

Just go to the website and select your preferred data rate in your profile. I've had mine constrained for quite a while now.

Are you saying Linux isn't a real OS?
I infer that the claim is that most people need and can securely maintain Windows, rather than ChromeOS. A rather dubious claim, in my experience.
which can now be barely thicker than the headphone cable.

if not NASA? (n/t)
That police state hasn't happened.
Aside from Waze streaming all of its users' position updates to the NSA via its Israel office, right?
Nobody reads the Terms of Service anymore.

Disaster recovery. Collaboration. Probably remote access.

we can find of some one willing to 60 for 40K.
cool, let them. Meanwhile they'll see you living a happy life and perhaps re-evaluate theirs.
oh, and positive, too.
This is both healthy and positive. A good subset of the idiots will leave Reddit and go there.
The downside is that they'll all eventually say something that offends somebody and so the end-game is that all the users are banned.
Show me any person who isn't perceived as an asshole at least 1% of the time, even inadvertently.

If you're not paid counterintel, you don't need to post that as AC.

Definitely serial numbers on each bag, and no bags without a government ID. We'll get you, my pretty!
There's decent science on this:

Amirite is a conflict mineral anyway.
If only Apple had hired somebody on-staff who understood their job as thoroughly and completely as you do.
Ah, so that's a good reason for the Alphabet breakup - so not-Google can compete with Google's partners (often hegemonists, so fair game in my book).
