I'm of the same opinion, I like cars that are easy to muck around with, like jeeps etc. when something fails. And what's one of the most common modes of failure in modern cars? You guessed it, broken computer.
And no, I don't want to pay for redundant systems, I'd prefer a compromise where you might have steering separated to simplistic joystick control for when your "big" mcu inevitably fries.
I'm appalled by the polarity and extremism on this topic, even from a/. standpoint. Different vaccines are not created equal. Many have been so successful in eradicating disease, that there's no question about their effectiveness. But lately, the medical industry has grown accustomed to hiding large parts of unfavourable test results, as we are now starting to find out. There's ample evidence (or lack thereof) to be worried about and avoiding some vaccines. As with anything, extreme measures require extreme amounts of evidence.
When hdds are at 4T and tapes are at 6.4T it sounds ridiculous to go back to optical technologies which seem to have reached a hard limit in scalability over a decade ago.

Do you understand what RTFM means? If anyone, _ever_, tells you this, they're probably right, you didn't read the manual, and are now being a self-righteous prick expecting to be spoonfed by others for free. It's not even hostility. It's a helpful indication that you need to go back and read that manual, and it's for your own good.
I understand how it can be confusing, when coming from an environment like Windows, where you have "Help on how to use help", and support personnel will gladly spend hours helping you fix all kinds of trivial problems, including problems caused by you. But these people are being PAID to babysit you.
In the end, as we've seen, people are always going to gravitate toward the systems utilizing the biggest marketing bag-o-tricks, there's no other magic here.
I agree with what you say, but I don't think this really boils down to a GUI vs CLI argument. There are a lot of badly made CLI jumbo-apps too. Things where programmers have been too lazy to divide a program into constituent parts necessary for reuse, or create a proper UI.
I think the problem is that GUIs only evolved for a short time in the 80s and beginning of the 90s, at which time people also dreamed of graphical interfaces that would some day allow advanced computer interaction. As seen in many of the cyberpunk movies from that time.
But that never happened. Instead, for 20 years, all GUIs have continued to be rehashes of the same kind of simplistic UI mostly designed for small children to interact with games and leisure. The over-extension of these GUI systems well past their best-before date can be considered similar to the pictograph system. Which has become tedious and unusable for more complex tasks.
Only people who run binary distros think it's an "inconvenience" to have separate ABIs. 64bit pointers are a ridiculous waste of memory if you have less than 4G RAM, which is most embedded systems. It increases part cost since you needlessly have more flash to store your binaries.

You can't say it has anything to do with the very UNIQUE obesity problem of Americans. The rest of the world does not have the same problems of obesity. Some parts, like south asia have a carbohydrate intake as high as 90%. There are huge amounts of other, more likely factors, like all the unhealthy amounts of fats in everything, the injection of waste product (mostly artificial) transfats, primitive GMO that has been used for decades and monocultures of crop.
You could blame any one of these factors, but no, you choose to blame the most common things we've eaten for 100k years. To conclude that it has only been a "minor" part of our diet is simply wrong, there is no evidence to prove either way. However, I'm not going to listen to the cult of people who have jumped to conclusions and lied innumerable times. At least people who've proposed the classic diets are honest about their evidence.
I live in the LCHF mecca of Sweden, and I can tell you that this whole thing has started off as a religious cult. And it's backed by huge amounts of money (from the meat industry maybe?) So, be careful about who you put your trust in.
I will read your document and get back to you, it seems to have original research and new information.
Yes, we all know that the agricultural revolution began 10k years ago. But we now know that humans have been eating grains for 100k years. Clearly, we've been godawfully wrong about paleolithic diets. This is no surprise, due to the sheer difficulty of finding evidence from such a long time back. There really hasn't been a reason to, before the church of LCHF started its crusade to eradicate other diets.
Why don't you wait for evidence before jumping to conclusions about what our diet consisted of, in a time long before the written word.
There is ample evidence for major differences in a world of ketosis diet and life in general. Ketosis is/was only predominant in worlds like mongolia and eskimo societies, where food is rare to come by. People become fat during short periods of surplus, which their body will cannibalize during long periods of famine. No conclusion can be drawn from this about health aspects, except that this kind of diet has been rare globally and historically.
Fact is, most of us are used to a 65-85% carb diet, and it works. Who are you to tell us differently?
Your facts are wrong, we've been eating grains for 100k years, and grasses for 4M years. We don't know if insulin spikes are bad. They are a natural function of our body, and most of us handle them just fine. Ketosis is very likely to be meant as a survival function where the body cannibalizes resources that are costly to replenish, in order to survive.
If you want to be on the safe side, the "eatwell plate" model is still the strongest contender for a safe diet, and is officially used in most parts of the world where the population can afford it.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but just like most LCHF proponents (or carbophobes;) you are oversimplifying things and jumping to conclusions.
Fact is, we still aren't exactly sure about what we need to eat and in what proportions. Thankfully most of us have an appetite that regulates our intake almost perfectly, so we do not need to worry much about what we eat, as long as we eat everything. However, in almost all cases where we try to cut out certain substances from our diets we find that bad things start happening, like sailors at sea.
You claim that BMI, a statistical tool, is bullshit. But what about the very weak (and in many cases irrelevant) statistical evidence for entirely turning what we've known about nutrition for thousands of years upside down?
We've been eating grains for 100k years, and grasses for 4M years. I'm not about to listen to a collection of kooks with an agenda to sell training and books for new age hippie diets. Come back when you've tried this kind of diet for a few more decades, chances are you won't be there to tell about it.
I'm not saying you are wrong, what I'm saying is that you guys are being too vocal about something you still know nothing about.
Looking at both PS4 and Xbox 1(080) I think the best all-round device, especially when it comes to price, is going to be a $2000 gamer-PC. Or a cracked PS3...
Seriously, it has USB ports. People who need the optical drive can just buy it separate. Most of us would benefit from the inclusion of a 4Tb drive instead, and even the PS3 already had a gigabit nic for fast downloads.
The transfats we are talking about here are waste products which are injected into foods where it isn't noticable. A form of watering down, with a high risk for adverse effects.
You don't get to call others "nuts" when you promote LCHF diets which are unproven to be safe and totally unnatural. Carbs are the energy we use, don't blame others if you eat more than you use up.

Actually, at least 99% of everything after 2000 is noise or sounds of the brain farting.
Most of the good information on the web was created prior to that time.

I think the best all-round device, especially when it comes to price, is going to be a $2000 gamer-PC.

It's the one game I own on PS3 that never went back into the drive.
