I don't know how that has any bearing on what the post you were responding to said, or on the article in general. There's no need to get into vague generalities about "falling behind" other nations that "get to" use dictatorial methods on their people, there's a specific question here about whether the US government 1.) is allowed to do this based on the powers and restrictions enumerated in the constitution and 2.) should be allowed to do it.

Great point, suburban supermarkets do seem to be very bulk oriented.

Look into freezing. Way more things than you'd think handle freezing well. Cheese, bread (toast or even just warm it briefly before consuming for maximum tastiness), and milk for example. Not eggs unfortunately (yeah, I tried).

And some things are in between, eg bananas without skins can be frozen and eaten frozen, if you like the taste and texture, but you can't defrost them and get back a banana like you had before you froze it, it'll just be nasty goop.

So, if in doubt, just try freezing it and see what happens.

Also, turning the temperature on your fridge down may extend the life of some things (but will also waste more energy, so experiment to see if it's a good tradeoff)

All good points. Also, the City of London has it's own police force, quite separate from the Metropolitan Police (the Met) who cover the other 31 boroughs of London.
It literally kills me how performant and impactful your code is to the many unique users that comprise the community. :-)

Seriously, though, the original attempt at writing actually does mean something -- if the companies do comprise communities somehow (perhaps of users or shareholders), then it makes sense to reference the subset of companies that comprise a particular community. But that's not what the author intended to say -- they just wanted a pompous way to say "all the companies" or (better) "the companies".

(And don't get me started about misusing "community" to mean "group" or "collection" or "lame way to make the preceding word plural", as in "the developer community".)

Generally referring to the "Geneva conventions" is not a useful citation. There are hundreds of articles in the conventions. Can you point out where the conventions purport to apply to all combatants?

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/applic/ihl/ihl.nsf/ART/375-59...

In addition to the provisions which shall be implemented in peace time, the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized by one of them.

The Convention shall also apply to all cases of partial or total occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, even if the said occupation meets with no armed resistance.
Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof.

By my reading, this applies to conflicts between signatories or conflicts involving a signatory and a non-signatory who accepts the terms of the convention. So not strictly nation states, but also not every party to every conflict.
Freezing means you then have to thaw them, which is a process in and of itself - which sucks if the goal is to reduce food planning/prep time.

Besides, most people's freezers aren't big enough to store an entire grocery shopping's worth of goods.
I personally respect, and am thankful for the fact that people exist that have opinions that differ, even a lot, from mine. Especially on moral issues. I find it pretty immoral to have too much faith in ones moral framework. I will do business with anyone especially those with different political or other opinions than mine, they are usually more interesting conversations.
Probably true. Organic is 'a way of farming that is more traditional' is a good way of phrasing it.

If you're looking for higher /quality control/ Kosher might be a good term to look for.

I know that when I buy ketchup I just go for the 'simple' variants, the ones that use the more traditional recipe and thus avoid HFCS (which I get too much of from other sources).
Ah. I think you've misread the comment in that case. The argument wasn't that the same job was typically better in private than government sector. It was that the types of jobs typically available in government (like the ones you mentioned) are viewed as less desirable in general, despite having good benefits, shorter hours, etc.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that in practice, whenever someone signs some content, they actually sign a hash instead of the entire content so that the signature is a sane size.

If you can create a hash collision between two pieces of content and then get someone to sign one of the pieces of content, then effectively you've gotten them to sign the other piece of content too without them knowing it.

I'll feel great telling my kids I encouraged people in my industry to stand up to a billionaire mouthpiece and financier of a prominent white nationalist trying to bring fascism to the United States.

I wouldn't want to hire someone who didn't enjoy coding enough that they didn't have something on publicly visible repo.

Shudder. Sounds like one chooses to work for you, or have a healthy life that involves non-coding/computer hobbies and relationships.

Maybe it's a good filter for us in the opposite direction.
I don't have a lot of insight into the science behind it, but one thing that always makes my partner (PhD in Epidemiolgy) slightly angry is that while Soylent does tick all of the "amount and type" boxes for what people consider to be part of a healthy nutrition, the real long term effects are basically untested.

Even in "naturally grown regular foods", the field is still pretty young and we can barely make good recommendations for those. They just happen to be what we eat and as long as they're not crazy processed, we have a few thousand years of experience with them not necessarily killing us immediately.

Areas of research like Metabolomics or Proteomics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omics) are still in their infancy, so while Soylent does mix a bunch of ingredients that all fall into the right areas, the long term effects are basically unknown. And that doesn't even take personalized medicine into consideration where your gene markup might actually have a lot to do with what might or might not be good for your personally.

Again, I don't have any insight besides some armchair quarterback knowledge about nutrition, but it seems like most people that do don't think it's a particularly great idea to eat it more than 'every now and then'.

That being said, when compared to twinkies and sugary sodas it might still be better for you. Having it as part of a daily diet though might not be a good idea.
These cheese bags will make your cheese last drastically longer. Plastic wrap condensation makes mold happen much faster. I buy Costco blocks of sharp cheddar and finish them myself, though I'll admit a certain fondness of cheese.

But also, most cheese mold is a surface only phenomenon. Remove what you can see and continue eating (doesn't apply to soft cheeses)

There are various other storage techniques for making food last longer which you might try.

Most of these stories are about the fact that WikiLeaks retweeted True Pundit. Importantly, none of them are talking to the source. Were I the source, I would take these articles for what they are - invitations to give my message a broader and more legitimate reach.

Unless, of course, I am also the author of True Pundit and I know they will see through me before I even get an interview.
The various receptive components of your taste and olfactory system that have gradually figured out, over millions of years, how to not just detect spoiled or weak food sources, but to optimize for high-value sources also: by pinging your brain stem in just the right way, probably initiating signals within around 100 milliseconds or so of detecting threshold quantities of whatever awesome stuff your body has decided it needs (so it, in turn can deliver a more or less immediate, perfectly proportioned neurohormone cascade throughout both your brain and your upper torso, well before you've managed to actually digest and metabolize any portion of what you're consumed; "paying it forward", as it were) -- and not only that, but to literally train your brain stem into getting more and more of that awesome stuff, on as regular a basis as possible -- are really, really, super fiendishly clever at what they do.

In other words -- taste and smell (and texture, and the overall pleasure-centric aspects of the eating experience) matter a lot. And the primates over at companies like Soylent would have to be very cocky to think they throw all of that to the side, and replace it with a chemical formula or two.

>Negative representations of the dominated group are essential in such a
reproduction process. However, such attitudes and ideologies are inconsistent
with dominant democratic and humanitarian norms and ideals. This
means that the dominant group must protect itself, cognitively and discursively,
against the damaging charge of intolerance and racism. Cognitive
balance may be restored only by actually being or becoming anti-racist, by
accepting minorities and immigrants as equals, or else by denying racism.
It is this choice white groups in Europe and North America are facing. So
far they have largely chosen the latter option.
> Properties mean a lot of things to different people

Thing is, this is true whether your language offers syntactic sugar for them, or not. Properties already exist in Java, they just exist as a matter of convention and custom - but the expectations on how they behave are just as strong, and a misbehaving getter, say, is just as surprising and damaging.

I disagree that Trump would be such a shoe-in for 2020. The Democrats just need a better candidate.

I think with the currently developing scandals (especially sexual assault allegations), and likely many more scandals between 2016 and 2020, they'd need someone even less liked than Hillary for him to have a shot.

The bigger threat is indeed whatever media empire he might try to launch after the election. (Scarily, I could picture him doing so whether he wins or loses.)

I think they said they killed it because they said they could no longer be accurate with the rate predictions because airlines started limiting data access and it requiring more staff than it was worth. I used it all the time and was sad when they killed it off. I'm sure Google will abandon this project too in 2-3 years like they do everything else that turns out to not be profitable.
I've been freezing for the past several months and in practice thawing just means "Set the mac and cheese/chicken fingers/chili in the fridge so it's ready tomorrow". I have about half a months worth of meals for 2 in the freezer, plus some months worth in a deep freeze in the garage. Prep and planning isn't reduced that much except for overhead like driving to/from the store, most of it is just shifted to one big cooking night.

Definition of mindset: "the established set of attitudes held by someone."

So you're saying that this:

"So why don't you? I get that if everyone did that, it wouldn't work, but you aren't everyone. You're just you."

doesn't tell me anything about your mindset? You're telling me that it's okay to stay at home and be lazy because, why not, it's just you right? It could work if OP is willing to be a mooch on society, yes, but that's not the kind of thinking anyone should be condoning.

To take it to an extreme, you could say "if you're the kind of person who doesn't want to go to prison, then there's your motivation for not murdering people, but OP does want to murder people, so why not do it?" The logic is the same.

You're right though. If you want to be a non-contributing member of society and act like a child, that's completely your prerogative but it's an absolutely childish, selfish, and narrow mindset to have.

This article is total FUD in my book. I drink soylent every day for at-work meals. I really appreciate the time savings, and having a zero effort/compromise way to go vegan (which I believe in both for ethical and environment reasons, but I haven't been able to commit to sustainably, personally).

Now here's why I disagree with this article so much: Besides programming, I'm an award winning BBQ chef that's cooking for a local food truck and soon a brick-and-mortar location. I am _very_ familiar with spending a lot of time on food. A longer cook might take 13 or 14 hours. I do this every week. And I _love_ that.

Understanding and enjoying the value of Soylent isn't an either/or thing. I love cooking at home, I spend lots of time in front of an oven or a smoker. I also appreciate Soylent as a healthy and inexpensive way to keep myself nourished when I don't want to think about food.

I wonder why the author would write this article without even making an attempt to understand how real people, not his hypothetical straw-man of a Soylent consumer, use the product.
Shameless plug here, we're just working on getting a PCB & assembly service like Seeedstudio to Europe.

Perhaps you're of the minority who has discipline and self-control to resist all the modern world has to offer. Chasing dopamine hits, from net and phone distractions, is habit forming. As it has become a habit most people aren't realising how often they're doing it.

It's easier for me. I know I don't have self-control or sense of time. I set myself up to manage accordingly. I see it as setting up for success. Do you think the many who use headphones and music in office are self-restricting and should use some self-control too?

When I was working on fitness I had a personal trainer. I could have done it alone, but the extra accountability meant I tried harder and didn't skip sessions. I think everyone gets the same benefit.

Pomodoro just constrains the time. You only have to do 25 minutes of thing before you get a break. Taking breaks improves focus. Every 2 I stretch, walk away from the desk maybe grab a drink.

You also have to consider that Thiel himself very likely is not a racist (and obviously not a homophobe etc.). He likely does not see Trump as racist or sexist. He may be misguided and may hold some crazy and infeasible ideas, but Thiel doesn't seem evil to me. He's probably attracted to Trump's other features and rationalizes the rest of his behavior.

Somehow the same meal of neutral-tasing Soylent is more appealing than the same meal of some prepared food.

Maybe it's because drinking some Soylent isn't an 'activity' like eating a prepared meal is, but rather just something I do while doing something else, so I don't notice it as much (which I think is part of why it's designed to be neutral tasting).
Ok, so this is going to sound crazy, but it's deeper than that.

When you put yourself on another port or make yourself invisible on a battlefield you didn't actually reduce your attack surface. You are equally vulnerable to a bullet or an 0day. If it comes towards you, it will hit you.

What was reduced was their ability to TARGET you. That's not reducing attack surface.

I'm thinking about doing a write-up on risk reduction methods that break all these down, where:

- Obscurity is hiding a secret that reduces your resilience if you are discovered
- Avoidance is limiting the likelihood that you'll be targeted
- Hardening makes you more survivable if you are hit

How does that grab you? You think that's the distinction we need?

Ultimately it's all security because it's reducing risk, i.e. probability and/or impact. But the ways in which that is done are important to understand.
>the specter of brown democrats rigging elections has been a subtext of republican electioneering forever.

These kinds of accusations are very hypocritical. I have yet to see Democrats accept a loss without claiming stolen or rigged elections. They refuse to accept the 2000 election, said that Republicans stole the state of OH in 2004, and even now claim that the current Republican majorities in both the House and Senate are the result of "gerrymandering."
