You might have success curbing excessive daydreaming with a nootropic like modafinil or even something like ritalin. Some vitamins help too like choline. Also, audio books.
Happy to answer any questions on this one.
Since I don't have an iOS device, I'm just going by the screenshots I'm seeing, but I'm wondering what exactly does the app do?

Recommend recipes based on a diet? What makes the AI useful in this case?
how about not sending anyone overseas? Why isn't this choice being presented? Let's draw up the stakeholders of 'sending entities abroad to kill' and find out why this choice is not considered in the first place instead of fighting over the philosophy of who or what kills to push forward a sick foreign policy.

I see this every day in American politics. Couple of days ago people were fighting over what constitutes an 'assault riffle'. Mission accomplished: the actual original debate (banning guns) was already abandoned.

We walked back from chem/bio to a great degree, but only really because we had something bigger/better (nuclear).

A bunch of relatively useless things (blinding lasers, stuff like that) have been eliminated/banned, but again mainly because they're not militarily particularly useful.
>It's a footgun. Methods of government vary in how many wise people you need for good decisions. For example an autocracy can work well with just one wise person, so long as they're the autocrat

The best way to avid killing people in warfare is to avoid going to war, I think. Though, to some degree conflict is always going to be inevitable so we've got to prepare for it.

I don't really see a situation in which autonomous weapons would be much worse that humans. Humans can (and do) conduct genocides. If the concern is some rogue actor like North Korea getting new more powerful weapons, I don't see the benefit for the West to avoid their research and development as other countries could easily pursue autonomous weapons independently by applying civilian AI techniques to warfare.
It's kind of a typical abusive relationship where one party sees not only the relationship fundamentally with a different light, but one party is quite duplicitous and nefarious and abusive and manipulative in their interactions with intent of deception and keeping a comfortable and useful situation going for them while they prey on their usually naive and gullible and rather delusional victim. It's the typical naive girl or boy dating a cheating, lying, player ... only a global, systemic, humanity impacting level never before witnessed or experienced by humanity.

On a side note; Apple has the opportunity to not only massively grow themselves, but also totally crush Facebook and Twitter if they were to build a product that centers control and power over information and data and content as much as possible with the users that generate it. Facebook, Twitter, and Google are revealing themselves as not just being a cute little mole, but full blown metastasized melanoma that must be treated immediately or it will invariably kill freedom and liberty on a scale and level that has also never been witnessed by humanity; a totalitarianism that will be virtually total in its surveillance and control and domination with zero ability for anyone to even object. The era of Techtalitarians is upon us.

Don't they burn completely different amounts of calories a day as a baseline?
Compare iPhone 6 to Xiaomi mi A1 or HTC U11 life.

Both new are priced in the range of used 6.

Both run latest Android and will have updates for 3-4 years, since they both have non vendor modified Android.
Sounds interesting, and I'll probably try it when it comes out for Android. Though at the minute I am just inputting my calorie intake into Samsung Health and making sure I don't eat more than 1500 calories a day (weekdays anyway, it all goes to hell a bit at weekends). Nevertheless I lose about a lb a week so the naieve approach seems to work. I presume if I don't tailor my food intake appropriately I could be in danger of malnutrition.

I guess my question is, what does the app offer above and beyond calorie counting?
Fair points, and I'm not a fan of the recovery Q&A either. But here's the process that I use:

1. User must enter their email address, and I send them an email with a recovery code.

2. After they enter the code, validating control of the email address, I show them the Question they chose and let them enter the answer.

3. After they enter the correct answer, I force them to update their password, and I send a confirmation email about the password update.

The emails all provide contact information and ask the user to get in touch if they didn't initiate any of these actions.

You're right about the answer being essentially a second password, and I treat it as such: only an encrypted hash is stored, type=password fields are used to enter it.

One of my clients did request getting rid of the Q&A, which I was able to do pretty easily because email verification step and reset code were already implemented.

On a personal note, I never use real answers for security questions. I use randomly generated strings, just like my passwords. If I can choose my own question I use a random string for that too.
If you're operating at Zero Revenue in the US, you won't be needing an accountant nor a lawyer. However, you will need a registered agent for your company, which is very likely a Delaware Incorporated. The yearly fee for the agent is likely to start around $100 and up. I paid $349 /year for the Delaware Tax.

Sure. I had a Palm Treo. The iPhone was definitely a better product, a highly evolved one from a consumer perspective. But it's not like Apple invented the smartphone or the MP3 player. They did improve them drastically from the user perspective, and they are amazing marketers. I give them full credit for that, but rxhernandez has a point.

Despite the green user, I've actually worked with these guys and seen this project up close and in person, and the amount of data they're harvesting here is pretty overwhelming.

There are a few other places doing transcription nowadays, but they're just doing that, and this is a bit richer an API for getting more tailoring done against your source data.

Either way, if you're looking for a way to add audio transcription to your podcast or vlog, this is a cool service. If you're looking to make that audio searchable with the fewest number of steps, this is probably the coolest service around.

>"Was Edward Snowden the catalyst for change away from tolerating government dragnets?"

Wait when were government dragnets ever tolerated? We are talking about things that undertaken in absolute secrecy. Was there legislative change taken in response? No or certainly nominally.

Was there a change in the publics attitudes? Yes, absolutely. See:

Change isn't always instant and immediate.

So Apple products are the high road here? Products that lock me in and force me to shell out money every few years to upgrade, force my friends/family to use the same platform (iphoto), creates gardens with massive walls (doesn't let Siri talk to apps, has a totalitarian regime of an app store), and more, or use the completely free Facebook where "I am the product"? Most people don't care and even I am not convinced being the product is necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks for the additional insight into his possible perspective.

As for your question - I joined the company while still in my undergraduate studies and it has been my only "real world" work experience thus far. I'm guessing the point you're trying to make is that business is business and not personal?

In that case, I shouldn't have any hesitation to exercise since it's legally viable to do so. Regardless of what that may do to the relationship and potential opportunities in the future. I understand your point, but at the same time, I still feel (maybe my naivete) that there may be some negative recourse for doing something that he feels so strongly opposed.
Oh, I interpreted that as a patriotic way of saying "at British stores". Thanks for explaining!
Totally unrelated, but something I've been wondering for a while. Isn't the whole point of magnet links that they use a distributed hash table (DHT)? Why do they need trackers appended to the URL? Is it strictly necessary, or does it just help in bootstrapping the DHT?

I always remove those when downloading torrents because I'm paranoid they're obvious markings of torrent traffic, more-so than DHT connections.

Those are good points, but the post does come across as a little apologetic. Serving the paying customers should not absolve you from responsibility for the data collecting.

Reductio ad absurdum: a hitman's job is not to be concerned with the well-being of their targets, but to serve the paying client. This doesn't make killing people for money not evil, because the business model is inherently unethical.

Facebook is not non-evil for collecting user data to target their customers' ads. I think the entire foundation for their business is unethical.

I agree with the points of the article, save for #7, but I think it's unfortunate Facebook doesn't have to take more responsibility for the data collecting they have pioneered and continue to do.
Yep, Prop 13 is flagrantly unfair, but the general mechanisms by which land value rises is intrinsic to our system of land tenure.

However, these windfall gains can be recycled into public coffers via the tax system and lighten tax burdens on productive activity.

As a nice bonus, it would make it much harder to be an idle landlord in a prime area... the physical equivalent of a patent troll.
What app are you talking about that is geared towards women?

Have you not heard of My Fitness Pal?

Did it not occur to you that you’re losing out on a huge market that also needs a no-fuss way to lose weight?

Women aren’t stupid. You don’t need to make things pink to sell to women. You don’t need to exclude women entirely to appeal to men.

You know what's also convenient, letting google decide every aspect of our lives for us and telling us what to think. It's bizarre to anyone born before maybe 1985 , to see what a heinous evil emerging, a kind of authoritarian marxist tech communism that is well on its way to becoming a totalitarian regime once it has convinced everyone to give up control over their lives out of "convenience" and for "safety" and "security". Who knew that the kiddos would read 1984 and think it was a manual?

For anyone who wants to look into the background of this real military psychological war that has been waged upon the western world for decades now, but especially in the last 10, do yourself a favor and listen to what the defected KGB officer Yuri Bezmenov warned the west and in particular the USA and Americans about back in... fittingly... 1984. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3qkf3bajd4 There are all sorts of things the media and higher "education" keep from the peasantry.

>the actual original debate (banning guns) was already abandoned.

I don't think an outright ban was ever really up for debate. A minority wants guns banned outright. Most people just want stricter laws.

Also, "assault rifles," constitute a minority of homicides with firearms. It's mostly hand guns. Either way, gun violence is way down from it's historical peak during the early 90s. No one really knows why.
It will be good enough, for things like Gif replacement. For Video though I think we still have long way to go.

I believe that, unfortunately, only weapons with little military use are banned. Take, for instance, chemical weapons. These are pretty much useless in modern (highly mobile) warfare.

Take another example, mines. There is a treaty on banning them but it has not been ratified by the worst actors [1].

> Direct democracy pretends that you just have this whole bunch of unrelated decisions, and so it lets you vote "Yes, everybody should get $10" and "No, nobody should pay for that extra $10" and then be _outraged_ that the result is economically incoherent even though that's _your_ incoherent policy at work.

Representative democracy does that too, as is evident from watching. Congress.

And non-democratic systems tend to end up with the ruling class deciding “We should get $x, And everybody else should be taxed to pay for it”, which while more fiscally coherent, isn't actually better from the perspective of anyone outside the ruling class.

> For example an autocracy can work well with just one wise person, so long as they're the autocrat.

And as long as they are not only wise, but unusually deficient in drive to serve their own self-interest. Unfortunately, it turns out that it's fairly hard to find people with the latter quality a d assure they become the autocrat; democracies, rather than relying on electors avoiding serving their self interest, rely on them actively striving to, which turns out is much more common.
So you can call someone mentally ill based on phone usage, but not immature based on a problem apparently highly concentrated within a low age group? Your virtue has been successfully signaled.

Agree. I'm living in Europe and there are people who value their privacy and talk about it loudly. I don't expect that global companies hinder their growth without regulation forcing it. That's the reason we fight for our right for privacy and use the only language they understand: financial penalties.

Murder is illegal here. Now we do the same with privacy. We're in power, not them. It's not the job of the hitman to be ethical (although it would be nice). It's the job of our society to fight for our values.
