Sorry, but you really don't want to be drinking true deionized water. It isn't a about long term mineral loss, it is about the immediate discomfort of drinking it. It's fine for the first cup or two, but after that it starts to burn. Wash your hands with it and you'll find you skin is dry and cracking. You'll notice that reverse osmosis systems intended for producing drinking water have a much lower standard of purity than those intended for, say, washing glassware. If you want to make sure there is no lead in your drinking water a carbon filter with an ion exchange resin stage is the way to go. But really, get over it, 99% of the US has safe tap water.

if your tokens come from a linearizable source (like zookeeper) you can do a compare-and-set to mutate state safely. you read the state, perform your mutations on it, then in an atomic transaction read the state again and if it is the same as the initial state save your new state. if your fencing token is the highest yet seen the service uses your state as the authorative state. if it's not it rejects the change
The thing is, often times (and I'm assuming it is based on concessions with book publishers) they only show a very small amount of context for the quote -- just enough so you can make a decision if that was really what you were looking for (essentially what falls under common fair use guidelines).

I can't quite tell if you're mocking InclinedPlane's comment or the mentality it points out.

Sad though it is, there is a lot of cargo culting around startup office management in SF these days - and presumably elsewhere too. I doubt people really think deep down that having the cliche startup office - tightly packed open plan desks, plenty of microbrews in the fridge, a few bottles of expensive whisky, a wall of snacks, a hoverboard or two - will make or break the success of their compamy. But no one wants to be the first to try not doing it and find out.
No, just because the car is required to include foot-operable brakes doesn't mean you're required to brake by application of a foot. You can brake however you want as long as someone in the car could activate a brake with their foot.
Oh, FFS. 924(c) was enacted in 1968. I don't think the "anti-gun lobby" (as disingenuous and argument-poisoning a phrasing as "death tax" or "pro life", if you ask me) was much of a thing then, and even to the extent it did exist, it certainly wasn't anything like the thing that the "Mah cold, dead hands!" crowd reflexively vilifies today.

I won't jump in on criticizing naturalnews. but:

To conduct the tests, we created a multi-element "spike" solution containing from 1300 ppb to 2300 ppb concentrations of each of the tested elements.

The EPA limit for lead is 15 ppb. So the test is 80-150x the limit. This is 4-8x what's been seen in Flint (up to 20x the limit).

It should not be surprising that these filters were overwhelmed.

Depending on which element is being tested.. this 1300-2300 represents significantly more than or less than EPA limits.

This was a very sloppy test.. and it would be difficult to draw conclusions from it.

You don't need brand new gear though: A used Nikon D2x or D300 on a good lens will produce results as good as most pros would get with film back in the day.

If you want to get really cheap, pick up a D1 for $35, a refurbished 55-200 VR for $100, and maybe a 2x teleconverter for $20.

I hardly think it's a myth. Human bodies aren't as simple as you're suggesting. It's a complex process but no water found in the natural world is going to be pure H2O so it makes since to be cautious of water that is going to be so different from nature.

From the WHO report[1] on water quality:

"Sufficient evidence is now available to confirm the health consequences from drinking water deficient in calcium or magnesium. Many studies show that higher water magnesium is related to decreased risks for CVD and especially for sudden death from CVD. This relationship has been independently described in epidemiological studies with different study designs, performed in different areas, different populations, and at different times. The consistent epidemiological observations are supported by the data from autopsy, clinical, and animal studies. Biological plausibility for a protective effect of magnesium is substantial, but the specificity is less evident due to the multifactorial aetiology of CVD."

This. Consider how currently-deployed active stability controls, traction control systems, or even ABS operate: by operating the brakes beyond the input the driver is directly providing.

That said, dear Google, please don't take away my foot brake. I'd really rather not have the algorithm decide that the lives of the occupants of my vehicle are worth less than %{UPCOMING_SITUATION} and kill everyone without the occupants having control.

> Where are in you located?

Canada. About an hour away from "Silicon Valley North". Perhaps not the ideal spot for American tech professionals, but the Canadian tech professionals don't seem to have interest in living here either, even with the tech sector reasonably close by.

I'm not sure how things are stateside, but I see a strong social stigma against living in rural areas in Canada. You haven't made it until you live in the city. This might be, in part, due to our current housing bubble in metropolitan areas and people seeing those inflated prices as an indicator of success.

> Is it really cold in the winter and hot in the summer

Yes. -30ºC (-22ºF) to +35ºC (95ºF) isn't uncommon. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Not mocking. Just sardonically lamenting.

Much of that cargo culting is driven by idiotic investors who want to be able to pop into the office and gawk at a veritable army of hoodie-clad brogrammers who look like they came from someone shaking a VHS copy of Hackers a little too hard. As sad as it is, founders and start-up executives often choose these knowingly-dysfunctional offices because it's the most rational choice they can make under the constraints that dummy investors are placing on them. If they go to the investor and say, "boy, for 4x the rent and a buildout cost of $500k, we could really get the product teams humming at a fast pace" they'll just be told to hold onto some ass pennies [0]. But if they say they're going to turn the entire office into one large lazy river waterpark ride, where developers get their own inner tube and a waterproof laptop and everyone wears GoPros all day which will live stream their entire workday to their new spinoff business Constagram ... well now the investor is listening.

But I agree that in a huge number of cases, it's just cargo culting for status. It's probably even damaging their ability to recruit workers, but the cargo cult status matters more.

I'm a water treatment engineer. Carbon filtration will remove dissolved solids and heavy metals, and with high efficiency if done correctly. Most GAC columns designed to remove lead and heavy metals are enriched with sulfide ions to increase the removal efficiency as well. People prefer to use ion exchange resins to remove heavy metals because they can be regenerated more easily and efficiently. Also ion exchange resins allow you to recover any absorbed minerals.

>It's fine for the first cup or two, but after that it starts to burn. Wash your hands with it and you'll find you skin is dry and cracking.

I have handled and, against my better judgement, quaffed many types of deionised water: triple glass distilled, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, etc. They taste more or less the same to store-bought distilled water and I have not yet had any of the ailments in your complaint. There is also a certain coworker who developed a pechant for the MilliQ water machine and regularly filled her drink bottle with ultrapure (>18.2 megaohms) water there. Suffice to say she is still doing it.

>But really, get over it, 99% of the US has safe tap water

This is not necesarily true given the state of water infrastructure in the US. The water leaving a treatment plant is not the same as water coming out of a tap.

>> Google describes its vehicles as having what NHTSA's May 2013 Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles calls Level 4 Full Self-Driving Automation. According to that Statement, a Level 4 vehicle:

>> is designed to perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip. Such a design anticipates that the driver will provide destination or navigation input, but is not expected to be available for control at any time during the trip. This includes both occupied and unoccupied vehicles. By design, safe operation rests solely on the automated vehicle system.

Why is the mineral issue bunk?

According to this WHO report[1], it seems like a real concern:

"Low-mineral water markedly: 1.) increased diuresis (almost by 20%, on average), body water volume, and serum sodium concentrations, 2.) decreased serum potassium concentration, and 3.) increased the elimination of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and magnesium ions from the body. It was thought that low-mineral water acts on osmoreceptors of the gastrointestinal tract, causing an increased flow of sodium ions into the intestinal lumen and slight reduction in osmotic pressure in the portal venous system with subsequent enhanced release of sodium into the blood as an adaptation response. This osmotic change in the blood plasma results in the redistribution of body water; that is, there is an increase in the total extracellular fluid volume and the transfer of water
from erythrocytes and interstitial fluid into the plasma and between intracellular and interstitial fluids."

It might not be enough to outweigh the benefits of highly filtered water, but just because you have enough minerals from food doesn't mean that minerals in water aren't having an effect.

Hi there - Jock Breitwieser here; director corporate communications at TriNet.

TriNet is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). As a PEO, we enter into a so-called co-employment with our clients.

Here's an overview:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_employer_organiza...
http://www.trinet.com/company/news_and_press/resources/peo_f...

Through this co-employment, TriNet becomes the employer of record for the 314,000+ employees of its 12,000+ clients (as of 9/30/15).

Because this co-employment gives a PEO significant scale, the PEO can offer its clients services/rates that a smaller company with less employees can never access.

In addition, through the co-employment model, a PEO also has 'skin in the game' with compliance issues, because everything is reported under their FEIN number.

Hope this helps. Happy to explain more or give you additional (independent) resources. jock.breitwieser AT trinet DOT com
