Yes, 'taste' is incredibly complicated and there are many elements to it, from texture, to smell, to temperature, to emotional state, to blood pressure, etc. We are still discovering what tastes humans actually possess and where they possess them in their bodies. What you are classifying as 'taste' is many things other than the definition of taste; you include smell and texture in the lists above. Especially on the bitter part, human sensation of bitter is highly variable from person to person. What you may consider bitter may not be able to be sensed by your customers and what you cannot sense may be tasted by your customers, hence why many confectioners tend towards a similar mean taste profile (pepsi/coke). You mention that things may 'taste like wood', this is a cultural association that you may want to be aware of. Try getting other people from other cultures/environments to drink your stuff and see if they also report these sensations. As far as 'drying out your mouth', this is again highly variable depending on hydration, humidity, personal preference, etc. For example, a friend of mine loves seltzer water for 'the burn', while I hate it for the exact same reason. I also drink my coffee black these days, but I will change my taste from time to time. Mostly I am just addicted to caffeine and coffee is the cheapest way to get the fix.

For more information on the sensation of taste and all it's myriad complexities, you may want to check out these resources:

http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/dep... Sue is a world expert on taste, along with Tom Finger, and her work is excellent in every way.

https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Neural-Science-Fifth-Kande... The bible of neural sciences, though thick and dense, the sections on gustation and olfaction may prove useful to your endeavors.

Edit: Here are some other resources on how to modify your taste sensation to better understand how your taste buds work:

There is also a supplement that you can take that will elliminate your sensation of sweet for a few hours, but I forget the name

Lastly, to understand umami, try getting a few bags of chips of similar salt content and hold your nose the entire time. One of just regular Lays potato chips, one of something like Doritos, and one of those baked Parmesan cheese ships from whole foods. While eating them with your nose held close, try to recognize the changes in the umami taste.

Obviously you can distribute by duplicating E3, but then it's pretty clear what the absent operator buys you.

"Killing abortion providers or bombing a clinic explicitly in the name of some version of Christianity are examples of Christian terrorism"

I can think of this happening once or twice in the last 5 years. The volume of Muslim attacks is much higher. Both are wrong.

"You can't be a clinic that provides reproductive health services (even without abortions!) without getting threats, and you definitely can't provide abortions without getting death threats or even getting killed."

Abortion is legal in the United states and murders of clinic workers aren't really common. Try being a vocal Trump supporter in the US. You will get death threats too. However, people aren't actually carrying it out.

"bitter at life, esp. the military or women"

As I said, statistically, the United states has a large percentage of Christians (and people that are white), which means a large percentage of any murders are going to be white and Christian. However, they were not screaming "Jesus is great" during the murders nor trying to create a Christian state where anyone practicing another religion us murdered.

"I do not feel threatened by Sharia."

You don't feel threatened because you don't have to live under the rule of it. If we were under Sharia law, I don't think we would even be having this conversation. The people against it are trying to save everyone else from a terrible life.

"it wasn't Muslims forcing me to make that choice."

I think you need to learn more about Islam. Abortion is completely illegal in all Muslim countries and if you actually talk to someone that is not even that much of a fundamentalist, they are against abortion.

Regardless of the religion, I don't want to be ruled by a mythical person that lived 2000 years ago with little regard to science.

"Obviously earning 400x a worker's wage is bullshit, there's no amount of work that justifies that."

I don't think that's obvious, but let's stipulate that it's true.

While there may be no amount of work that justifies it, there is an amount of ownership that justifies it.

Not everyone is a up-the-ladder CEO that gets placed into a firm and then rent-seeks for a few years while waiting for a golden parachute. Some people founded their firms and reap the financial gains directly from what they've built - and if that is 400 or 500 or 600x what the janitor makes, so be it.
Well, yes, but that doesn't answer why.

I would suggest that some portion of intelligence has a hereditary factor, and (outside entertainment and professional sports) intelligence has a correlation with income levels.
What researcher launches a new project every 5 years? NASA does, but each mission is unique to some new academic or research group. The team from U of C isn't launching in 4 years or probably ever. Its heartbreaking for them. They fought for this mission, somehow pulled it off, and lost it. NASA has other missions to launch. There's no going back.

This is also why critical missions like spy satellites are often built in pairs. One to launch, and if blown up, the mission gets a second chance with another rocket at a later date. Science missions don't often have this luxury. You get one shot and if it fails, too bad.

edit: note I wrote 'often' not always. You don't know if your mission will get a second chance and that's the stressful part. If this was a mission to study Earth's climate change would it have gotten a second chance under the current administration? Probably not.
Slightly less so nowadays. I left that area and moved to a megacity so I could get into software dev without having to work at an insurance company (or ESPN). But there's a little bit more going on with CT nowadays, and I think the insurance companies are starting to spread out. They had a ton of leverage in the area and got away with a lot (not paying taxes, etc) but the well started to run dry and people started to push back. Before I left, the mere suggestion that we demand more from these huge companies always turned into highly publicized threats to take XX,000 jobs elsewhere.

The whole situation is dumb, overall I'd avoid living in CT for a ton of reasons. CT had a lot of industry going for it (Stanley Tools in New Britain, for example, and Hartford was the center of the gun industry 100 years ago) but those of course moved overseas. The insurance industry provided a safety net so it didn't go the way of the rust belt but, late capitalism y'know, so that was just a band-aid that's being slowly ripped off. This is happening everywhere but the systematic denial isn't as ingrained as in CT, it's weird.
I tried it too... Wasn't satisfied with performances. I used to install Atom every 2,3 months, when VSCode got released I then tried installing it every few months in place of Atom. I still do, but I always uninstall after few hours of using it. It has many good ideas implemented well, but still not worth switching and sacrificing all of the performance for nice git and debugging interface.
Besides the X-server point, it's not just the state transfer that's causing web UI to lag.
That was kind of my point. Brain learns well using one example at a time. ANNs don't. Hence my conclusion.
> Do you really believe the CIA gives a shit about what you have to say?

As we learned from the Snowden leaks, surveillance is being conducted on a massive scale under the purview of a secret court that rubber stamps whatever comes across its desk, and not in a targeted manner as in your bug argument.

I still have a right and desire for privacy, which is not a function of whether or not the CIA, or anyone, cares what I say or do.

This level of clairvoyance is too much power for any one person or group to have, and is of what Orwell and others have rightly warned us.
You mean p-states in your first sentence, right? Anything but c0 represents different levels of 'retiring no instructions' (totally idle). The rest of your comment seems accurate though.
It's also important to note that "successful large scale startup" in this context means "a new web application with a lot of users".

> If you wanted culture, you'd have to get in your car and drive at least an hour.

Everywhere has culture. You just didn't like the one you were in.

In tiny towns, the culture looks more like running around in the woods, country music, 4-H club, and church potlucks. That's a culture, even if you don't like it. And, besides, in the internet age there are plenty of farmers' daughters that get really into oil painting or Korean TV or opera. Producing great culture is harder without a local community, but it's not like there's no access to culture in small towns. They're binge watching Iron Fist just like all the other geeks.

>compare Sanskrit barbara- "stammering,"

Interesting. Though I knew Sanskrit (well in school), didn't know or remember that word - but still know Hindi well, and in Hindi, bad-bad (pronounced like bud-bud) means blabbing, as in:

Kya bad-bad kar rahe ho - What are you blabbing.

And to close the loop, in Hindi, the sounds r and d are closely related and sometimes substituted for one another - at least while talking.
> It's a question of how much self-censorship you want to impose on yourself in the hope of fostering a good discussion. And how much you are focusing on expressing what you feel vs. starting a conversation with people you disagree with.

Sure, and that's my point: Are you just venting? Fine. You're making a choice to vent your frustrations and not hoping to actually have a discussion. You're making yourself feel better. There's nothing wrong with that, either. We all vent in different ways.

It's just unfortunate that many people choose to make internet comments the location of their venting. Worse, this becomes the sort of discourse that we come to expect from any sort of public internet forum. We don't expect reasonable discussion: We expect angry people yelling about the other team and how their team is the best team. It's become a stadium full of drunk fans.

> It would be more diplomatic, sure.

Eh, not really: I never mentioned left/right in that chunk of text on purpose (because I think both "teams" do it). So your rewrite is actually significantly less diplomatic because it singles out one group of people who previously were part of a larger group.

Might seem annoying of me to call you out on this (and I fully understand why you assumed that given the context of our discussion), but I think it's an important correction nonetheless.
If you "lack the skill to install" it yourself, then you don't get to complain about "very greedy middlemen." If labor really WERE super expensive and they were greedy, then you could afford to learn the skills and install yourself. Nah, don't expect labor costs to be free or expect labor to be paid below a livable wage. Or heck, don't expect labor which is more skilled than you are to be paid less than you are.

But this is an important point: residential solar will always be fairly expensive due to labor costs. As module and other hardware costs reduce, it'll make sense to use the very highest efficiency cells, tracking systems (provided they're simple to install), etc.

But I think utility and commercial scale solar will dominate. Someone will eventually get really good at installing solar farms a gigawatt at a time with a highly automated system. Think of the harvesting and planting machines we use in agriculture. Or the machines used to lay railroads automatically. When this happens, utility solar at the interconnection point will drop well below 1 cent per kWh in sunny locations, and transport costs will dominate. Which has some interesting implications.
Chicago is the center for futures and options trading, especially commodities. Proprietary trading is generally based in Chicago, while banks and hedge funds are usually in NYC.

There are a massive number of other companies headquartered here, like Boening, CNA, Kraft Foods, Walgreens, State Farm.

While NYC might be known for its comedy, it recruits directly
from Second City in Chicago, and the numerous small comedy clubs and schools here feed into Second City. It has its own caliber of theatre it puts out as well, regardless of whether it matches NYC on notoriety.

Lastly, while having the benefits of a large city, Chicago also does not have the stupidly high rents of NYC or SF. It is a very livable city, even for those on modest incomes. Public transportation is excellent (though not as good as NYC).

And if you are doing well enough to have a six-figure salary, you can live very well here as opposed to how you would live even on an cost-of-living adjusted salary in SF and NYC.

The primary downside to this city is the weather. In my opinion, the secondary downside is how far it is from outdoor activities, but, then again, you can easily fly elsewhere via O'Hare/Midway.
Is it just me that chill? when I read things like:

I don't care either, FWIW.I haven't used OneDrive yet and I probably never will. But the reason I will not use it is exactly this - I know I will always be unwanted customer in their eyes. And I don't trust them not to throw me under the bus if they feel like it. I should probably say "...is inexcusable to me in this...". Thought it was obvious.

Google Docs takes a good 2-3 seconds to spin up a UI on my i7.

I doubt much of that time is spent building the DOM tree for the UI. Google Docs does a lot more than a simple text editing widget - there's a networked file system, a multi-user collaboration engine, a realtime notification system, etc that all get initialised. Instantiating all that over a network in 2-3 seconds is really fast.
I prefer solutions to some, but not all problems. Being able to independently and confidently verify your own solutions is an important skill to develop.

Someone who gets it.

In Go, this is one of the most difficult concepts of the language to wrap one's head around. Moreso, it's a concept that makes you bang your head against the wall at first; at least it did for me. After being so used to "getting away with" not thinking about this in other languages, being forced to think this way in Go can be maddening.

Then a light goes on.

...and then you look at your old code and go "eeesh"; in my case, I was coming from a PHP background at the time I was learning Go.

Don't get me wrong - I still like PHP and other languages, and I don't use Go much as it is, but once I wrapped my head around many of it's "strangeness" (compared to other languages), I really appreciated it (because I recognised that the whole point of the language was to help prevent common errors and in many cases force better programming practices to that end), and began to enjoy it.
At least while I was using atom on a not so high end machine, it generally took a few seconds too start and being usable.

I am Emacs user. Have you tried it lately? It is lightning fast compared to Atom/VSCode. It's not as fast as Vim, struggles with long lines, and all that, but boy how surprised I when I uninstalled VSCode and fired up Emacs after a week of usage of VSc.

>I don't know why you're saying they are slow. vscode starts up pretty fast

I takes "ages" to start up, meaning it interrupts my workflow. I like vscode, but startup time for the app and for new windows is terrible (~2 seconds) and it's one reason why I still prefer sublime for anything that doesn't have significantly better language plugins in vscode.
Also compare Google Docs with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice cold start up time. You will see 2-3 seconds is fast and the two mentioned are not even loaded from a remote resource...
Lots of emacs functionality runs via its lisp VM. I'd hardly call that 'native'.

Regulation causes high costs when it artificially constrains a market to a small number of cronies. That's the problem with regulation.

Regulation is great when it's unbiased and not just a way to enrich cronies, and does what it's designed to do. It just seems that it's extremely rare to see such effective regulation in the US. In European countries, it seems to be far more common.
Sounds like an incompetent regulator is what we should be complaining about and I'd put having an incompetent regulator at being strictly worse than no regulator because our taxes are wasted paying for that regulator. Our time is wasted dealing with it. And we deprive the free market of coming up with a solution.

I'm curious if the practical approximation still roughly holds in the thermosphere at very high temps and very low densities, do you know?

So according to the above graph, supersonic speed in the ionosphere is ~280-300 m/s, lower than at sea level. Temps are lower on average too. But a plasma jet punching through the ionosphere at 10k C would mean the plasma itself is creating the condition for supersonic speeds on the order of 2000 m/s. (Not sure if the research is saying this, or saying the jets are moving at supersonic relative to the surrounding atmosphere...)

Just found this super-helpful link:
