Sorry to hear. Partaking in heavy drugs to any degree invites those dark unknowns. The number of hands these drugs pass through to reach the end-user is more than a couple. I recall on average it's 8 different turnovers. Each time, likely being cut down. They operate a margin business without concern for where it ends up. It's likely safe to say that a vast majority of drugs are cut these days.

A friend I grew up with just shot himself to death. He was on a TV show, model and had it all going for him..until the night he tried black tar heroin through a needle, off a spoon. An older friend convinced him and four others to try it one night at a wrap party for the TV show. Grew up affluent but drugs immediately nosedived his life. Ended up in and out of jail, losing it mentally, mental institutions, broke every window at his parents house, just living a really rough existence. The part that got me: the older friend who introduced him to it showed up to his funeral.

The other one of the four is on his third strike for heroin, just got his second DUI trying to "live it up" – drugs i.e. heavy drugs, are a game that you do not win.

I remember them taking on Netflix with the idea that it sucked to wait for another movie in the mail, so just come into the store and pick up a new one!

Not surprisingly, it turned out people hate going to stores more than they hate waiting.
> Multiple times throughout the hearing, Brazil’s Infraestrutura de Chaves Públicas system of citizen IDs through digital certificates came up as a potential model for the U.S. as it moves forward. In this model, a certificate lasts for three years at maximum and can be used to issue a digital signature much like written signatures are used now. Unlike its counterpart in the U.S., these identity accounts can be revoked and reissued easily through an established national protocol.

I believe most Americans are opposed to a national ID, so SSNs have been used as a (utterly terrible) workaround. Some reasoning for this, to quote an ACLU article on the subject[0], 'Former Senator Alan Cranston has described the national I.D. card as "a primary tool of totalitarian governments to restrict the freedom of their citizens." '

The Brazil solution mentioned seems pretty reasonable though. I like the built in expiration and ease of reissue. Anyone have experience with or thoughts about this sort of system?

All Bitcoin news results in new people saying "I should buy some Bitcoin", so it doesn't matter so much what the news is as long as it reaches new people who will think they're missing out.

Excuse me if I'm making an incorrect assumption here, but China is not your country, right?

Naomi explains that the fashion she wears is while perhaps not "mainstream", at least fairly unremarkable in her culture - and she's got video of herself walking around in public that supports that claim.

If _you_ are not capable of seeing and accepting other cultures, that's surely not Naomi's problem. It's no different from insisting your local library removes National Geographic magazines because they have images of cultures where breasts are not taboo.

"Social standards" are fine, and while you and I probably disagree on what those standards should and shouldn't allow in our respective cultures, imposing _your_ opinions of social standards on a culture you've never even visited (again, apologies if I'm making a poor assumption there) is the height of self important superiority.

And while I don't know where you're from, Doughtery's business runs out of Sebastopol - literally 50 miles away from where Folsom Street Fair is held every year. Tell me again how different his society's "social standards on how to interact socially and sexually" are from Naomi's?

It may be worth examining that tendency. I elected to take the Kolmogorov option: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3376

The question of whether or not your arguments have merit won’t even get entered upon, nor will the authority ever be able to repeat back your arguments in a form you’d recognize—for even repeating the arguments correctly could invite accusations of secretly agreeing with them. Instead, the sole subject of interest will be you: who you think you are, what your motivations were to utter something so divisive and hateful.

Suffice to say, it wasn't too smart to even broach the topic. It derailed the conversation, for one. For two, it didn't lead anywhere productive.
I seem to recall one of Jon Skeet's abusing C# videos with something similar. He has 4 or so up on YouTube, each is an hour and totally worth it.

Excerpt from a different article:

Why and how did you create this “Sexy Cyborg” character? Is it all persona or is it also the real you? Basically, when you are not being a maker, do you still dress just as sexy?

It’s the other way around, I actually wear more conservative clothing when taking maker pictures and video for English-speaking social media than I do normally just walking around and running errands. Westerners just seem to get enraged over silly clothes. Well, Americans and British mostly. Europeans and South Americans just think it’s funny and exciting, like Chinese do usually.

I have what I call the Auntie Test: Do Chinese women over about 50 or so have any problem with my clothes? The Auntie who cleans the halls in my apartment building has twice sent me back home for a sweater, but that is just because it was winter and catching a cold calls for Chinese Traditional Medicine. I was raised properly and am respectful. If the day comes and the neighborhood Aunties tell me not to dress so sexy, I won’t. But so long as they smile and wave at me, I don’t really think it’s anyone’s business what I wear in my own country.

I have never understood what stops POS algorithms from being havens for opportunistic cheating. There is no punishment for spending energy on attacking the network unsuccessfully because you are still also playing good with the majority.

These waivers are a part of graduate school support for most if not all Phd programs. I.e. I do research, take classes,and perhaps TA. The university pays me a small stipend, and pays my 'tuition' for whatever courses I take, i.e. paying itself. That implicit part of my compensation WOULD be taxable.

"This means most students unaffiliated with the school would be protected from any tax on graduate school tuition aid."

This clearly not true from the article you cite and the verge article (see the comments by the spokeswoman). Where is this claim coming from?

There would be a lot more jobs if we readjusted the way we look at work. Lower full time to 30 hours a week, eliminate "free overtime" salaries, require vacation time, maternal/paternal leave, worker owned co-ops keeping their jobs from getting shipped away, start building publicly funded mental health/ drug rehab clinics everywhere. There are a lot of ways to create more jobs. The fact that the jobs don't exist now doesn't mean we can't make them, we just need to shift our priorities.
I think you should wonder how you can be taken seriously while assigning numbers like that. You are a person, they are people, this girl we're talking about is a person. Not a 6 or 7 or 8 or whatever.

In the end, the talk here goes everywhere but fails to mention that bunnie vouched for sexyhacker. The point being that the maker guy knowingly posted something he knew was a lie. The issue could have been skin colour, nationality, anything.
Ah yeah, of course. Thanks.

In light of the commentary on Naomi Wu's choice of clothing in her content, I wanted to share an excerpt from an interview in another article to give a sense of cultural perspective here: http://www.makery.info/en/2017/01/30/sexy-cyborg-la-communau...

I just had it happen to me. She all of a sudden started talking about a Halloween song that I had asked her to play weeks ago (she acted like she just finished playing the song).

I checked the app, and the last query was when I asked her the weather from earlier this morning.

Must be a bug in the latest update they pushed out.
Sorry, can’t respond to the whole comment right this moment, but just want to apoligize if i was unclear. I was simply responding to the argument about how people today still work 40 hours, and that for the most part richer people work more than poorer people, which suggests arguments around hours worked aren’t necessarily valid.
1) I'll try any drug once, all my friends in highschool experimented with a lot of drugs and I enjoyed the shared experiences.

2) It was either senior year of highschool or right after, so around 18

3) Varied, but usually it was $30 for an 8mg dilaudid

4) Everyone I knew had at least one dealer for some drug or other, it was possible to get anything just by asking around

5) Got bored of it
Real User Monitoring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_user_monitoring
It's likely Intel's already got cross-licensing agreements for everything they need, seeing as they already build GPUs. (Or is somehow everyone forgetting that fact?)

The case is probably that the Intel graphics team just decided they'd rather play against the big boys at nVidia and actually put enough cores on a chip to be a competitor, but in order to do that, they'd need to go off-chip for power and heat dissipation reasons. Hiring the guy from AMD helps you sell the new solution, since presumably that's what this guy's good at.

The market's rife for being disrupted as it has been incredibly stagnant with nVidia and AMD's tit-for-tat for the past, well, decade.

Oola sources “some” of there blend. They are at least upfront that they do it if not how much.

[edit] just looked at a newer bottle & they’ve removed the sourcing statement from the older bottles I remember. Either they don’t source or they no longer admit it. Bottle also doesn’t use any of the protected phrases I know of so could be anything.

That is not a violent reaction.

"We need to kick you out of the country" is a violent reaction.

"What are you talking about this is dumb" is not a violent reaction.

You shared your ideas, they obviously weren't taken as good ideas by the group here, and people told you so.

No one called for violence against you, no one called you names (as far as I can tell), just no one agreed with you, and maybe a liiiiittle discourteously.

That's not violence, that's discussion.
Wowza. If I moved to a direct competitor like that, my employee contract "non-compete" clause would be brought out immediately. And I'm no C-level executive, just an individual contributor. I wish Washington had California's non-compete law.
People seem to like them. But OOLA is mostly a clear spirit distiller. Keep in mind that it is way easier to distill vodka, gin, and rum than it is to start up and reliably produce whiskey. When you read OOLA's material, note that they are super specific about the grain and process they use for their vodka, but not as much for Waitsburg Bourbon.

The way they market, my guess is that they distill their own whiskey? Note that there are distillers that distill some whiskey, but then round out the supply with MGPI whiskey, which would allow them to talk about locally sourcing corn and barley while still relying on someone else's product.

That said, I don't know them well, and maybe they're like Few Spirits, a local distillery in Chicago that got started selling vodka and gin and gradually expanded into doing a whiskey. Few is not bad. I like Few. But I don't think a lot of people drink Few and tell themselves, "I'm drinking this because it is categorically better than Buffalo Trace".

What if we frame it as a financial problem, not a well-being problem. Argument: it is in everyone's best interest if fewer people smoke. Smoking overwhelmingly affects poorer citizens who are already more reliant on social services. And since effects are tied to age, older smokers will more heavily put a burden on both the healthcare system as well as the entire insurance market (including Medicare/ Medicaid). Ergo it is in everyones best interest to disincentivize as many people from smoking as possible. Raising a tax on cigarettes is a cheap, quick, and effective means to do so, while raising funds for the very same health services they are likely to be using in the future.
Sorry, I missed the distinction.

There's a quite important reason why Paris and Milan fashion shows don't use middle aged white men like Dougherty to stroll down the runways showcasing this season's ideas.
I think you could apply the same thing to an indoor area. Make it feel like a truly public place, with comfortable seating areas, buskers, pretty things to look at, more local products and less bland chains, and less pressure to buy stuff.

Don't be too cynical. They stock beer based on who pays them the most for shelf space, and based on what sells. You can get them to carry your dreck that nobody wants if you pay them enough, but you can't get them to not carry what people are buying.
