~Acetaldehyde causes irreparable DNA damage~

This is not 100% we all repair this damage all the time (usually) however not needing to repair excess damage is preferable.

Note: ethanol is not the only source of aldehydes in our diet even if it is a potent one, paraphrasing a medical researcher friend "anything that tastes good will metabolize through an aldehyde phase"

Our genetics, the dose and blind luck will determine if the damage is repairable.

For an example of genetics and ethanol mediated DNA damage/repair see Asian Flushing syndrome
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_flush_reaction

Yeast produced ethanol as a toxin to inhibit other things from eating what they were eating, it was only ~10M years ago something was hungry enough to eat the poison and lucky enough to have mutated to derive nutrition from the toxin.

but hey, oxygen use to be a toxin too.

That's like argueing that dictatorship might be better than democracy because at least there is someone to hold accountable.

Well, there is someone who is responsible, but the problem is that you cannot hold them accountable. Which is why democracy avoids the same concentration of power in the first place.

Which is also the whole point of decentralization. You avoid the concentration of power that would allow any single party or small minority to turn against you without any way out for you.

If you email provider starts selling your emails to the highest bidder, you don't need to regulate your email provider. You simply switch to a different one. Or run your own server. Decentralization is about keeping the power your hands.

I have high hopes for ReactOS, because pro audio software is currently the only thing that really keeps me tied to Windows. (I use GNU/Linux for work already for more than a decade.)

Unfortunately, last time I looked audio software and drivers weren't well supported on ReactOS. If I could get Reaper, my audio interface and commercial VSTs running on it, I'd ditch Windows forever.

I actually think a 'magic number' is pretty useful, as a ballpark figure. Like BMI... nobody is arguing that BMI is a gauge of health for every individual, but it's a reasonable starting point, and if you want to studies of a bunch of people, well, something like BMI is pretty much required.

I mean, weight in kg divided by your height in meters squared is obviously wrong and stupid in a lot of ways, but it's a lot better than nothing, and most importantly, it's super easy to understand.

Having a simple answer is really useful... sometimes a simple answer, assuming that simple answer is still useful, is better than a complex answer, even when the complex answer is more correct. Sort of how bandwidth is charged for on the 95th percentiles (or on total transfer, which is in essence charging for average use)

Thẻ xanh Mỹ có bao nhiêu loại
Xét về việc cấp thẻ thường trú nhân để làm được sống tại Mỹ, đối tác hiểu được các điều bắt buộc về vấn đề này. Tồn tại hai loại thẻ xanh phổ biến, đầu tiên là thẻ thường trú nhân 2 năm tên gọi khác là thẻ thường trú có điều kiện, kế đó là thẻ thường trú trong 10 năm có thể gọi là thẻ xanh mãi mãi. Đối với thẻ thường trú nhân 2 năm, hệt như tên gọi của nó, thẻ này chỉ có thể trị giá trong hai năm. Hai năm sau, người sở hữu thẻ được quyền xin làm thẻ có điều kiện để tiếp tục được ở lại Mỹ. Tuy thế, chuyện đổi mới từ thẻ xanh hai năm sang thẻ xanh 10 năm cũng có những điều kiện và điều lệ riêng. Vì vậy nên nếu như chủ thẻ phạm phải các điều lệ được đặt ra của nhà nước Mỹ thì đánh mất được phép có được thẻ xanh vĩnh viễn. Điều này được hiểu là người có thẻ mất cơ hội tiếp tục được sinh sống tại Mỹ đúng cách vai trò là người lưu trú nữa.

'Plastic is literally everywhere': the epidemic attacking Australia's oceans
It's cultural and technical. We value our time and large KE control. It's also nice being wrapped in steel with airbags. You could ride for an hour, and I could drive for 15min and we have gone the same distance. If we both then change our minds, I need to backtrack 15 min.

Not to mention, try carrying the things I put in my 5700lb car (without any planning) on your bike.

I made the math easy, but it's the same arg if it's 45. The only legit arg I can come up for your point is sometimes I want to run or ride a bike, but in that case, I'm going to avoid roads even if it's 100% 3 cylinders Geo's, or just follow my routine and exercise at the gym since it's more fun than running alone to xyz when I really just need to get something done.
Lancaster, California has a musical road - like the Dutch road, there were complaints about the noise from residents; it was torn up and a new one built out in the desert.

In both cases, it was mistuned [1] because of a miscommunication about whether the dimensions for the spacing of rumble strip grooves included the width of the groove itself.

"remain as identifiable shapes" is basically fossilisation, which does happen. And it likely applies to I-beams as much as it does to coke cans, plastic bottles and cigarette buts. Except that the latter are going to be much more numerous.
I think it is important to realize that you are actually paying for the service, and that that is actually the right way to pay for it: You pay for the infrastructure of the internet by paying your ISP, and for the processing and storage of your own hardware by buying it. That is the service that someone actually has to operate for us, and it is a product everyone does already buy.

NCRISC-2018: Second International Conference
I'm not blaming the outcome on nefarious ad targeting, rather I would say that engagement-maximizing algorithms massively amplified Donald Trump's voice during the campaign. My concern isn't so much that my team lost, but rather what sort of candidates will succeed in this new media landscape. No other 2016 candidate from either side was really comparable to Donald Trump in how he used social media, both organically or with ads.

Political campaigns are waged within the media landscape of the day. When Nixon sweated during the first televised debate, he lost the debate and the election. That signaled a transition from radio to TV as the dominant medium for political campaigns, and the types of candidates who won national office in the TV era were different from those from earlier eras. In that way the dominant medium of the day has a filtering & selection effect on who succeeds in a political race. Trump's election signaled another transition, this time to the era of social media. It's not partisan to worry about the type of candidates that transition will push to the fore.

For me it's only worked when colleagues have explaining concepts to me when they were needed, after a several occurrences of this everything finally started to make sense and I could then make use of material like this.
They're using "thinning" in the sense of "thinning hair". Generally lower density would imply fewer neurons and fewer connections. Since this is happening late in life, rather than during the pruning stage of development in youth, this would tend not to be a good thing.
Maybe, saying "twenty" isn't enough of an improvement over "two-thousand" to make it worth the complexity. Compare that to "one-thousand-nine-hundred" vs "nineteen".

Also, years less than 10 years ago which are still referenced a lot then require a switch to a different reading convention. This, I guess, wasn't a big deal from 1999 to 2000 because, "twenty-oh-oh" was too awkward and, hey, it's two-damn-thousand!
I'd be curious if ReactOS runs the Oculus Rift drivers, runs docker and is more performant then Windows 10.
I do hope that Peertube could figure that out one way or another. Paid content could boost the project a lot.

It wouldn't even have to be perfect like a lot of publishers usually demand, most youtube videos would be fine if the payment would simply authorize the user to stream and download the video as they wish.

There could be some connection, since physical and mental pain activate similar brain regions. I can see how pain killers may help to some degree with emotional pain. (Not a doctor)
The amount of alcohol that makes it into breast milk is very low, and the risks to the baby are trivial. Like giving the baby a few drops of alcohol (alcohol content will be something like 1 part per 1000 or less, compare to lager which has 1 part per 20). Worrying about this should be far down people's list of priorities.

Drinking significant amounts while pregnant probably isn't the best idea though, to be sure, since then the alcohol is going straight to baby's bloodstream instead of to the digestive system.

That's something that always frustrates me with these discussions about drinking and health. They always ignore the positives from drinking.

Yes, drinking too much (or any at all) can negatively affect your health. Yes, it can have a measurable impact on your lifespan. So can skydiving, or surfing, or horse riding, or eating a delicious burger, or taking a lover.

You are making too many assumptions. It's easy to design city centers so it's not worth the trouble for most people to drive through them. Downtown my city is like that. We drive around it. I have seen the opposite, your worst case, but that's their fault. And ya, distance matters. I live only ~6 miles from where I work, and I rode a bike for a year, but I can drive it in a fraction of the time and then not worry about changing plans or going somewhere much further away without first pedaling myself home.

I would say my comparison is more akin to dictatorship vs anarchy. Obviously neither choice is ideal, so the specifics of how these systems are implemented is vital.

I'm a big fan of decentralization in general, but I think it's worth pointing out where things could go wrong at scale.
Ketamine can do that under the extreme dosages used by recreational users. It's also important to remember that a lot of the bad long term effects of drugs can be attributed to impurities, which there should be next to nothing off when you get it from a doctor.

Ironic that the DIY option is more expensive. I'm reminded of the British "kit car" scene, which started as a tax dodge for the Lotus 7: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Seven

"Under the Purchase Tax system of the time cars supplied as a kit (known as "completely knocked down" or CKD) did not attract the tax surcharge that would apply if sold in assembled form. Tax rules specified assembly instructions could not be included, but as the rules said nothing about the inclusion of disassembly instructions, they were included instead and all the enthusiast had to do was to follow them in reverse.[citation needed] However, once the UK joined the EEC on 1 January 1973, the VAT system was adopted instead so the tax advantage of the kit-built Lotus Seven came to an end."

The car is still sold as the Caterham 7, still available in kit form.

I was also angry about the religious content. I almost left the course on day 3 because of it. Then I realized that I wasn't really angry at the course. I was re-living my anger at my parents who indoctrinated me with their religion when I was a child. Then I decided to work hard on the technique, since it is a way to deal with anger. I'm glad I did.

I'm sorry that you left on day 6. Day 7 is when I started to make real progress. In one of the recordings, the dude (Goenka) says that your first 10-day course is like lancing open an infected wound, letting all the pus out; painful but ultimately beneficial. That is an accurate description of my experience. Starting on day 7, I was finally able to reduce the negative emotions associated with certain ideas and memories. So I let myself touch those ideas and memories and worked hard to apply the technique. This was extremely unpleasant, but I could feel myself healing emotionally. It was the most difficult experience I have ever voluntarily gone through. But it was worth it. I'm much less angry now. In the year since I took the course, my life has gotten a lot better because of the skills I learned in the course.

I found Metta to be very difficult. And several weeks later I realized why: I couldn't bring up kind thoughts toward anybody, even toward myself. I have been judgemental my entire life, toward everyone and especially toward myself. It's the result of strict authoritarian parenting. After becoming aware of my judgemental tendencies, I've noticed that they cause a lot of problems for me. I'm still really bad at Metta, but I think it helps me be less judgemental. If you can't do Metta, then you will benefit from finding out why you can't do it.
I'm guessing this is supposed to be a sarcastic rebuttal to my point but I'm not entirely sure.

I know Booz Allen Hamilton launched a company-wide initiative with General Assembly for a data science course [1].

> Any other open source OS would have exactly the same problems

Not to the same degree, Linux still has some blobs to run on modern computers but nowhere near as much as Android. Android needs blobs for absolutely anything. And you don't need an equivalent of the Gapps on Linux, it would be like something as common as systemd would be proprietary.

> Yours is an argument why all struggling OSS mobile OSes are struggling, not particularly why AOSP has problems. Surely if even AOSP is struggling to solve these issues, what chance do the others have?

Google does not care any more about open-source on Android, the current open-source bits are just there because of legacy history, they close all the open-source parts step by step. The Gapps used to be open-source at the beginning. AOSP isn't struggling, it's just there's no open-source movement.
