I agree.

While in Paris and Nice France I noticed many diners would order sparkling water. In the US I'm one of the few that will order it at a meal when I go out.

I drink an enormous amount of plain soda water (aka sparkling water aka seltzer aka club soda). Like 64oz to 96oz a day.

My intake has gone up even more now that I fast most of the day, have a soda stream, and vacuumed seal stainless steel tumbler (yeti, rtic, etc). I highly recommend one of those cups.

I swear but don't have proof that soda water curbs appetite more than flat water.

My only annoyance is that soda stream while I suppose helpful to the environment is actually not that cost effective.

Oh and I used Gentoo years ago (like 2003) and stopped using it because of the whole recompile the world. I don't think recompiling everything is the best option when so much of hacking is about speed and timing.

> This guy was preventing cops from doing their jobs effectively.

Is that true? The story doesn't say that. He was standing out of the way and holding a sign, legally. How that does amount to impeding the officers? How often does seeing a random protestor on the street make you suddenly belligerent with officers, and what evidence did you read that makes you think that happened here? It seems like you're making big assumptions.

If he's impeding police, what is YouTube doing with its thousands of checkpoint videos?

> I'm not saying what they did was OK.

Good? Because it was illegal what they did. Against the law. It was not only not OK, it was bad and wrong. Doubly so because the protestor was being peaceful and legal, and also because the police are charged with representing the law and upholding it's values, and they have a responsibility to not seize property, to not escalate a situation to violence, and to tell the truth about what happened.

It's a shame if this is easy to understand and commonplace, we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard than this.

3-5 minute rest periods are not unusual at heavy weights, although I personally try to keep it to two minutes to save time. With warm-up sets and some waiting for equipment I often find myself spending 1.5 hours at the gym. Super setting would help a lot but it's impractical at most gyms :(
I really want to get my DNA tested, because I'm almost certain that I have the AA variant. rs4680 is also known as the worrier/warrior gene; those with the AA variant tend to handle stress poorly, have high anxiety, and are neurotic. Seeing as how I fall apart with the slightest bit of stress in my life and score 100% on every neuroticism test I take, I would be very surprised if I didn't have this variant of the gene.

Also, my psychiatrist prescribed me Modafinil at 100 mg. I felt nothing and fell asleep shortly after taking it. He bumped it up to 200 mg -- still felt nothing. At 400 mg I just decided to quit taking it, because it literally had no effect whatsoever. Bit of a bummer, because I had high hopes for its effect on my ability to stay awake and focus. (Adderall, on the other hand, does produce a noticeable difference.)

Thanks for the neoliberalism in a nutshell post. Go ahead, bury your head deeper up your own ass instead of dealing with the reality of the economic situation in which we all find ourselves. I got a job as a "temp" once. I was working full time second-shift in a fucking factory, doing RMA services for a major laptop and tablet manufacturer. I was doing advanced troubleshooting and repair, with no benefits or security. Capitalists are, en masse, exploiting this stupid idea that somehow, people should be paid less for the same work because of what they intend to spend their pay on?

Somewhat unrelated, but I think it's funny how quickly these devices have turned us into their slaves.

Among people who can afford a smartphone, which is a wide swath from the working poor on up, it seems like _everyone_ is swiping at their phones all day. I like to imagine them in as many variations as possible: judges, programmers, hells angels, movie stars, school children, cops, window washers hanging from a rope...[1]

It then becomes fun to try to think of people you don't see using phones as much: construction workers (too busy with hands), surfers (in water and heavy surf), astronauts maybe ?...

Experience the Lightning Bolt
Jobs have been automated before since the beginnings of humanity, there is nothing really different this time. When the crisis of '30s hit, the U.S. government stepped in and employed the jobless en masse for infrastructure projects on national level. Problems to absorb large amounts of manpower exist, they are only waiting to be subsidized. I'm not saying that something handicapping as penalty for the automation gained efficiency could not occur, it's just unlikely for a rational mind to recourse to that.
I love this, especially the inclusion of the book that helps new parents with the basics. Becoming a parent is such an overwhelming avalanche of advice (good and bad) and piles of crap. There is a massive industry dedicated to preying on the paranoia and naïveté of new parents. With that first baby, you're awash in a sea of ridiculous products like microwave baby bottle sterilizers and electric bottle heaters. By the second or third month, you come to realize just how worthless all of this junk is and you toss most of it and go back to the basics--the basics that are included in the Finnish baby box. How much easier it would have been if someone had handed us a box and a book and said, "Everything you will need for the first three months is in here."
Except that the main storyline is likely to be rushed to completion due to the final season being massively cut in length.
It does not work as material thing that is teleported. When you make measurement quantum function collapses and something that we don't know is happening and it's not teleporting anything because state is changed faster than speed of light, and no information or material can travel faster than that. This is a known paradox.
Anton Zeilinger (father of quantum entanglement) is describing this in his books in more detail.

I suppose 2 things would help

* Raise taxes on the very rich, and use it to hire people to keep the commons in order.

* Get lazy people to go back to school and study to do non-basket-weaving subjects to more efficiently make things that each other need, without sucking ever more raw materials. (I've had this talk with an adult child, but "I don't like school" - enjoy your minimum wage unproductive life, then)

Yeah, we're screwed. Those suggestions are offensive to both parties now, I think: both the rich and the poor have to give something up.

> The cliché about dysfunctional people in IT is too much for me. I'm a normal person and I don't have difficulties in dealing with other human beings.

TV shows centered around normal people are really boring.
In my experience, granted a bit limited but probably more than the average person has, these types of bullshit charges are generally thrown out. That, or they're held over someone's head, used to intimidate them into not doing other things. So it is more likely that these officers leveled a bunch of bullshit charges against folks that the DA didn't pursue, or that are being held in limbo to discourage them from, say, protesting and risking getting hit with new charges _and_ the old ones.

That said, I think we're in agreement that this is wrong. I'd just take it further and state that, if police officers file a charge, then I think they're obligated to do all the extra work to see that charge through, maybe within a reasonable window like 30 days. Subjecting someone to arrest, physical injury, and a night in jail only to throw out a charge as unfounded should come at some cost to the officers who caused it. If coders, lawyers and doctors did only a quarter of their jobs, or made a bunch of work for others that ultimately amounted to nothing, they'd be fired.

Corporate taxes have a similar (although not identical) impact; the corporate taxes end up costing three different groups: shareholders due to reduced dividends, employees due to reduced wages and bonuses, and consumers due to increased prices for company's products.

Thus corporate taxes tend to have an impact across the entire population, somewhat like VATs, see [1]. I feel like this is why they are popular, it sounds like you are taxing someone else to most people.

POI is an amazing show. You can really tell how they started off with a bonkers scifi idea, then between S1 and S2 Snowden happened and the writers were like "Oh fuck this shit's real??". The show much improved from there and pushed the scifi to the max. Like ok we know this is real, but what if it was waaay more powerful?

The only downside is that they let some techno babble seep in by S3 and the hacking has become a bit odd in its explanations.

Overall a solid 5/7. You should watch it.

And unlike Mr. Robot, it's watchable to nontechies so if your SO couldn't do Mr Robot, they'd probably watch POI with you.

Ahhh... I think you didn't understand what I'm saying, or didn't add enough corruption and/or personal influence. Let me give you a concrete example.

Let's say you have a connection in the government, maybe your uncle is high up in politics. So the 10:1 bolivar to dollar rate is given by the government for essential supplies (who has hard currency reserves), but you need to know somebody to get it.

So your uncle hooks you up, and gives you 100 dollars for 1000 bolivars, cause you want to import 100 pounds of flour, because flour is an essential supply.

You turn around, buy 10 pounds of flour for 10 dollars, and then on the black market exchange 90 dollars for 90,000 bolivars. You have just made an incredible profit for doing nothing except exploiting your contacts. And since you still have the flour contract you can do this indefinitely, until your uncle gets tired of your leeching ass and kicks you out.

Does that make more sense?

It's wrong because of existence disproof. Right now, there are lots of people writing software outside of the USA and billing more than $300k to do so.

It's sad that I find myself repeating this here so often. Nobody seems to want to believe that their industry pays as much as it does.

>Imagine at home you put one glove in your coat without looking (and noticing it's only one of the two). After exiting the train you notice it's cold and you pull out that single glove. At this very instant you know it's either the left or the right glove, and you therefore know which one is left at home. However, no information was transmitted by your "measurement". Of course in quantum mechanics this is more complicated because of the not entirely measurable wave function, but this is the basic idea.
