A quick rinse with hot water before dumping in the rice cooker is all that's needed to rinse off the saponins. Doing that before packaging would be messy and expensive I imagine.
Networking is hard, though. People tend to clique with people they already know and it can be tough to break in.
In the past I went to a few Sun User Group and Usenix SAGE conferences. Riveting presentations on things like the switches to cat. The booth babe phenomenon wasn't much in evidence yet.
More recently went to a few OpenStack Summits. Booth babe dress was regulated but they were still there at a fair number of booths. Blew me away that booths would / could actually serve booze.
Did pick up some useful tidbits, but with presentation videos going up on the web eventually one could argue that attendance isn't strictly needed.
What was valuable was getting away from home for a few days, keeping my FFM's from expiring, and meeting a few vendor/community folks in person who I'd only talked to voice / electronically before.
Another dynamic is that within one's company, it can be seen as a negative if one doesn't want to attend conferences, almost like it's required to be seen as keeping fresh, regardless of the cost and inefficiency.
Conferences also have a certain rep for job hunting, and that's another reason I went. Many booths would have "We're hiring!" signs, but when I'd inquire I was brushed off, or told to go to the corporate job site.
I wonder how the hell these things are exposed. Residential and small business CPE does NAT and non-routeable space. Larger businesses with routable space manage theirs or pay someone too.
I can only guess colleges, who have routable space and snooty faculty who prevent security.
They also equate fossil fuels with emmisions, conveniently ignoring the massive contribution of animal agriculture.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas.
Loyalty used to mean something, these days perversely it's a decided handicap.
"Why after N years at SomeCo do you want to leave now?"
What do I say, the truth that my "libertarian" boss stabbed me in the back?
"The hiring manager is concerned that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the change".
Grr.
I worked for >15 years though two acquisitions. I got the above over and over and over again until I broke that up on my resume into 2-3 separate entries.
Here's another dynamic:
One's employer pays fairly well, with better bonus / benefits than many companies today still offer.
Said employer shuts down one's entire division a few months after saying it would be growing.
Local jobs don't pay well at all, and companies with HQ's in other places cling to the idea that one can drop everything and relocate so you can sit in a room with other people and still do all work / collaboration online.
Say I make $100k/year now. What's better for me, to take a job @ 95k and get buy, or not get a job at all?
This is why I don't like to lead with what I'm making now.
He's only a few miles away, he could maybe afford to do it, but it'd be years before he could use such a tunnel, in the unlikely event that he could even get permits.
My first thought was that a helicopter solves the issue rather more expediently.
... on the off chance you can get one of the antiques to actually stop for you, and can get the driver to not pretend he doesn't know where your destination is or how to get there.
I've had just plain miserable experience with NYC cabs, worse even than anywhere else. Would be happy to see the ossified, anachronistic monopoly die.
When I was younger, computing wasn't ubiquitous like it is today, there was a certain mystique to it. Today it's become rather banal, I'm still dismayed by URL's on friggin billboards. Back then Silicon Valley was a place; today it's a crucible.
And back then we had competing Unix implementations that innovated. Today we're stuck with the pathetic immaturity of Linux:-/
Their computer articles for years have shown both a clear Microsoft bias, yet also the lack of a basic understanding of the technology. This is really nothing different from the past.
In other arenas I've seen them downrate cars for having linear vs. rotary climate controls, publish reviews where 90% of their recommended models of something were either discontinued or only available in New Yuck, or ludicrous ideas like "get the car dealer to quote your trade-in up-front". I stopped subscribing years ago out of frustration.
At home I don't have to stack up random boxes to block unfiltered sunlight streaming through the wall to wall windows, nor do I have to contend with jackasses in the office who don't understand that their phone transmits sound and thus they don't have to talk loud enough to be heard directly in the next state. I also don't lose an hour in the morning, when my colleagues to the east have already been working for three hours, making myself more or less presentable and doing the drive/park dance.
When I've worked in an office, any gains from this mythic in-person impromptu collaboration were dwarfed by that lost by the auditory interruptions, or the dozen trips back and forth to someone's desk trying to actually find them there. One place actually had a policy against facing the cubicle entrance, with the lame-brained idea that would be more distracting. What was distracting was constantly turning around because I *felt* like someone was standing there, or seeing the reflections of passers-by in my CRT. I slide out my filing cabinet and used it as a monitor stand anyway, to mitigate those issues.
WebEx FTW.
This is a country where science is repeatedly faked, and where Qigong practitioners are imprisoned and harvested for organs.
I've talked to people in the US who have worked for Chinese companies:
- Amazon-scale expectation of uncompensated overtime
- Yelling and threatening is routine and accepted
- Travel expenses are not reimbursed
- Ridicule of religious, spiritual, and ethical practices is tolerated and encouraged.
In short, it's almost as though Trump runs them.
I'm sure there are exceptions, but the above has been the consistent narrative I've heard. I've also personally experienced 3 out of 4 above from a manager from the PRC at a US company. When I didn't even report to him.
Slashdot Mirror
It's a /. article with "could" in the title, after all.
Or using a lower water:rice ratio, or using unpolished rice. I mostly use brown basmati or brown jasmine. The Bhutanese red is a nice changeup.

Some would say that a Chromebook meets most or all of this.
Desperately wish I could mod this up

Forests are clearcut and monoculture tree farms planted. Sustainable only in weakly relative terms.

Thank you. This makes me cringe every time.
My family will be better off with me employed than not.

Even if those figures are true, those aren't livable incomes in those locations. And they aren't salary.
4.1.4 was way unstable for me.
Those quality jobs however will likely still not be available to citizens or anyone over 40.

I'm puzzled by the abstract's list of "new" features that have been there for at least a few years. But then, this is slashdot after all.
How many people really rely on battery life anyway? I almost exclusively see laptops used in situations where they're plugged in.
