yeah gettin out on the pond/lake/ocean whatever and dropping a line is AWESOME for outdoors people. I am in central illinois, been rainy & cloudy for about 8 days now waiting for some sun so i can go hit the pond after work and get a couple hours of peace & quiet. hopefully a couple nice largies or crappie too :p

The parents at my kids’ school talk about “trying” to get their kids to eat right. I just dont get it. You want them to eat something? You give it to them! If you don't want them to eat something then don't put it on the table. This could not be simpler. My kids beg for chard and broccoli.
Has anyone tried out Ubiquiti’s mesh offering? A three access point solution is priced similarly to this,l plus a lifetime membership (but presumably keeps working without the cloud)
The SPE was full of actually innocent people - you had to make a mental leap to imagine their guilt. People in jail are there because someone assumes they've done something wrong - it's (unfortunately) a mental leap to assume they are innocent, even though the law says that they are.
I see what you're trying to say, but you're extending the OP's comment to address a point he's not making.

If an individual has adopted a characteristic slogan, and that individual makes racist statements, then the slogan can reasonably said to be linked to racist ideas. Note that this analysis doesn't need to include any third parties.
I think that much of the next generation middle class would gladly accept multi family dwellings if it means less driving, more walkable amenities, etc.

The problem is that there's not enough of that type of development out there, and land ib those types of settings is therefore very expensive.

How about he releases the entire book at a reasonable price point that isn't $250. It's unfortunate that John is playing games with pricing. This entire pricing scheme feels like something EA would cook up and that is NOT good optics.
How is it dystopian? We ban kids from doing plenty of things we deem unsafe in the US. We don't let them drive, go to the store alone, drink alcohol, buy guns, get married, buy cigarettes, watch certain movies, play certain video games, get jobs, etc.

Knowing what we know about the long term impact of high-sugar diets, is it really that much of a stretch to limit intake?
I've started fasting lately. I don't eat until about 4pm sometimes later. Gone from about 80 kgs to 76 in a little less than a month. I've struggled for too long removing that extra ugly fat layer and i've finally found something that works for me.

I do it about 3 times a week.
If I had a Wegman's I'd go to the mall. They're in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, but seem to have something against Connecticut. :(

On the malls note, the Chapel Square Mall in downtown New Haven got turned into apartments before I moved here. It's weird and seriously depressing looking, though I haven't seen the interior courtyard area myself. There has to be a better way to do it than this:

If anyone's curious to see the location on google maps/satellite, this is just behind the Omni New Haven hotel, the row of skylights is easy to pick out.
True. I guess the overall point I was trying to make is that the low capacity factor of solar strengthens the case for this beginning the real transition to renewables, since utilities are used to low capacity-factor assets (and are still choosing solar in spite of that drawback)

Regulate that either investors or employees can not make more than 10X of minimum employee wage? Immaterial on how much they invest or have stocks. That way there is money available for more companies, and employees are paid fairly?
Land value tax: a levy on the unimproved value of land.

It actually depresses the price of land, by socialising the positive value. But it also increases the available supply, paradoxically: given that land is price-inelastic, the supply doesn't change relative to price. Increase the carrying cost and the result is that landlords must sell or rent in order to cover costs. This is particularly associated with Henry George, though his work was based heavily on David Ricardo and Adam Smith.

Thanks for your comment. I've got Metzinger's book on my shelf so thanks for the reminder to read it :).

I must admit I have similar ideas about the self, I am currently inclined to believe that it is indeed an illusion but have not thought about the implications of that illusion (I have peace with it though).

I'm a bit more nuanced towards the emotional side. I think we all have emotions but being able to perceive them as just that, gives us true freedom.
There are people that chase the emotional state/high of being happy above your normal baseline/hormonal levels, as the emotional state they want to have continuously. True freedom however comes with accepting all these states as they are. That means you are not chasing any "happy" states or getting out of other states.

How do you link the illusion of self to intensified curiosity about the world? I've always had an intensified curiosity but I'm unable to link this to "self".

I'm about 2 weeks into an experiment with time-limited eating on a daily basis. I try to only consume anything with calories in a 7-8 hour window starting at lunchtime.

I decided to try this because my weight was creeping up despite my controlled diet and daily exercise.

So far the jury is out regarding weight loss, because I also upped my exercise regimen at the same time.

But I've been pleasantly surprised to find that I'm getting much better sleep, and for the first time in years I'm waking up on my own, usually a little before my alarm is set to go off.

The one downside is that starting a few days ago, I've found myself extra hungry in my non-eating hours. I hope this is temporary. It's not a risk to me keeping the regimen, but it's unpleasant and distracting.

Some of the candy shops in Denmark seems to be used for money laundering.

Most candy is cheap to buy in volume and you just discard it rather than handing it to customers. Everything looks fine in the books. You just don't have as many customers in the shop as the accounting books says you have.
You will have to pay tax on the laundered money but that can be a small price for making the money fully legal and usable for e.g. house loans.

"The term 'glen,' a Gaelic word that means 'narrow valley,' is not specifically included in that protection."

Well, the Scottish Gaelic word is actually gleann, and glen in Manx (a Gaelic language) actually means clean. Glen is an English borrowing of a generally Celtic word (compare Welsh glyn and Cornish glynn; both Brythonic languages, not Gaelic). In fact, the only modern Celtic language where the word is spelled glen is Breton, which is spoken in France.
It doesn't but the news seems disproportional to the usage, maybe this is the first sign I'm not longer with it.
I think we all agree that most people eat way too much refined sugar, and technically don't really need to eat any, but come on, that's just ridiculous hyperbole...

Since most plant foods we eat, hell, even breast milk contains the exact same sugars that are refined into table sugar, syrups, etc. and the chemicals themselves are required by the body for things like brain function, it's probably fair enough to call it a food...

When thinking about having children and about the level of care and attention you’ll be able to give them, I think it’s useful to have the right comparison in mind. If you’re considering having another child, that child’s choices are not between your limited time and attention on the one hand and, on the other, parents who can shower them with time and attention. Instead, the alternative to your limited time and attention is never getting to be alive.

When you frame things that way, the answer for parents who are considering another child is pretty much always to give the child the gift of life. In the developed world, at least.

It could make sense if you were essentially leasing Wi-Fi gear, so that you would always get the latest and greatest as the Wi-Fi standard evolves - receive new gear and send back the old gear every year or so.

But this does not make any sense. You are already buying a router, and they're tacking on a subscription on top, for what appears to be snake oil.

Sobriety... 1 month and 2 days so far
This will sound a little boring to you but the following 5 habits made me stronger after only 2 weeks. I suffer from general fatigue (I did a million check up with specialist and nothing came out). I've tried so many different things to boost my level of energy naturally, that's the result of a long study and experiment:

- Cutting caffeine to only one coffee on the morning and taking that coffee at least one hour after waking up, always at the same time. If I switch that habit of about an hour I get tired and get a slight headache, it would take me at least 2 days to get back on track. It took me a while to figure out how to optimize the intake of caffeine to avoid any side effects.

- Restricting time eating (intermittent fasting?). I leave myself a window of 10 hours, sometimes 9 when I can to get all my meals. Outside of that window it's only water. Our liver works efficiently for about 10-12h per day. Thanks to that I do have more energy in general.

- No more pasta and sugary products (besides fruits) inspired from the keto diet. Though, I do not get most of my calories from fats as suggested by the keto diet.

- I eat a handful of berries every single day all at once. It boosts my digestive system and fibers are essential.

- I try to run once a week for at least 30 minutes and at least 3 miles at once. This improve my general breathing and body strength.

That's it! Again, if I stick to these 5 habits, I win every day.

I don’t think “has anyone ever switched from Go...” is particularly meaningful. Is the switch common? I’ve only heard of a handful (like 3) of cases where people tried optimizing Go and found it to be lacking, and those cases were at the extreme end of the performance spectrum. Also, Go will never be optimally performant because it chooses to balance performance with competing concerns (safety, simplicity, etc), so its unclear in those cases whether the suboptimalism was due to Go’s GC scheme or to other trade offs.
Interesting, I'm actually testing out my own thought here. I guess I would say there is a difference between these two scenarios:

(1) I can't afford to outright purchase a product that would normally cost $10,000 so I choose to finance it and pay $12,000 over 5 years (or whatever.)

(2) I could afford to outright purchase a product that would normally cost $100 but instead I have to pay over time, say $500 over 5 years.

It seems to me that a lot of the more recent SaaS stuff is associated with a very large price increase probably because there's no on-prem price to compare to, no stated rate of interest or any of that information you get from a car loan. So I suppose my problem is that the premium on these products is much higher due to obfuscation and these companies (like Plume) don't offer a comparable option to buy outright.
I hope you'll update this post in a few weeks / months. It sounds very counter-intuitive based on prevailing wisdom.

It might also be a good idea to have your physician check your blood glucose levels, other markers of pre-diabetes, and liver-function enzymes.
I did 3 weeks of steak and eggs and it was amazing. It's easy. You eat only 2 things: steak and eggs. Your grocery list is short. Only 2 things. In the beginning is hard, but you see you loosing weight fast and your hunger will go away, but after sometime you need to go back and it other things. It's the perfect diet for me.

That is really fascinating. Since its been a few months, have you noticed stronger relationships with the 8 people who replied back to you originally?

I hadn't heard of that, but that is really cool use of the space. That actually looks a lot like the facility I work in, but our's was built for the purpose.

That is definitely proof that good space can be built out of it, but are there enough companies who want to build spaces like that compared to the number of dead malls? There are a lot of dead malls. The ones I've seen are much more corporate-like.
This is an absolutely ridiculous article. There is zero substance to it, nor any meaningful discussion of any sort. I kinda expected more from an article on Time :-/
The ridiculously high cost and short shelf life put me off sugru, but looking in to it did lead me to a handy and cheap DIY alternative - clear silicone mixed with corn starch. I don't know how the 'rubbery' property compares to sugru after it sets up, but it worked nicely for my needs.
This is true. But I was thinking more about just getting through life. Governments and pension systems come and go. But as long as you have living siblings, you’ve got pretty damn good insurance against all the stuff that goes wrong in life.

Comcast let me use my own router, then decided it was theirs and charged me rent anyway.

I think we're talking past each other. I brought my company up as an example of "the wrong kind of money" because we're a services company, and no matter how much money we're printing today, we're unlikely to liquidate for 10x forward revenue. Airbnb, on the other hand, has a business model that can do that.

yeah in my hometown-Houston there was already a popular nightclub from the 90's (The Roxy?) that was a reused car dealership or some-such so it wasn't too out of the box to be done...its just nightclubs are one thing... healthy athletic alternatives for kids is another (which was my primary idea)

edit: this is a moot point now, but back in the late 90's and early 00's Houston had a serious lack of skateparks which is no longer an issue. Luckily im now an adult and dont really have the time to make use of them like i would've as a kid
Depends on what's in your garage.

That just encourages companies to subcontract out low-wage work rather than doing it in-house. The low-wage workers themselves are not better off. I believe that regulations on 401(k) plan participation have already encouraged companies to shed low-wage workers.
Back when I was in middle school (mid-90's), I was on the student council, which was responsible for maintaining relationships with the junk food vendors (we used it to raise money for other projects). We switched from Coke to Pepsi during that time, and I remember them coming to us with a deal that involved them providing the vending machines, running some contests, and some other goodies for the school. All we had to do was give them exclusive access.

The problem isn't that some people have a lot of money. The problem (in America) is that too many people fall through the cracks. I think a healthy society would be one where there's a strong social floor, but uncapped upside potential for those who want to pursue it. However, if a company gets government support, de facto or otherwise, then I'm 100% in favor of pay caps.
Here’s another way to look at the staggering amount of money Jeff Bezos has made so far in 2018. Amazon has an estimated total 566,000 employees worldwide. If the company CEO decided to pass along his $40 billion in increased net worth in 2018 to his workers, each of them would get about $70,000—which is more than twice the median Amazon employee’s salary.

These statements are always ridiculous to me. There is no way he could convert $40B to cash and everything else stay the same.
FYI "pizza" has nothing to do with the city of Pisa.

Actually it likely comes from the latin verb "pansere", meaning "to press".
My personal cardio "training" routine was to "run three times", which means, I would run as long as I could (which may not be very long at all!), then walk until I was recovered, and then run again, until I'd run three times. If I'm running outside, I'll run "out" in one direction until my three times are up, and then make my way back at whatever pace I can. When I'm running on a treadmill, I'll usually stop after my third recovery period, but I'll increase my speed throughout the run.

I don't over do it with this routine. If I'm out of breath or something starts to hurt I just stop running and walk for a bit, but it helped me work up to a reasonable amount of cardiovascular stamina the couple of times I've fallen completely out of shape. I usually abandon it once I have enough stamina that I become time-constrained on how long I can run rather than physically.
See, this is exactly the sort of thing I'm complaining about.

code.xyz gives some 'hello world' examples, but it doesn't even link to any docs--it just goes "look how easy it is! Here, sign in to our service!" I went hunting for the stdlib docs, and it took me five minutes to figure out how to call my service by HTTP--apparently I just get a special username.stdlib.io endpoint that I can call, but when I clicked 'Calling Services' the first thing I got was a page that explained how to use bearer tokens. I still don't know how I can POST to this endpoint, but I have learned that apparently stdlib has invented the concept of a 'source code' because apparently having a pre-canned Slack bot integration is super-important to any self-respecting FaaS provider. Also apparently I can find prebuilt 'source codes' in the 'stdlib registry', but the docs don't link to said registry, only the aforementioned Slack integration. At this point I gave up; I don't have the patience to learn a brand-new meaning for 'source codes' when all I want to do is make an API call when I get a webhook payload, which I already know how to do in a dozen lines of Python.

I realize this complaint sounds kind of harsh; you're getting a lot of my frustration dumped on you. Really all I want is basically a managed, autoscaled version of Express.js. Maybe there's some reason it's like this (I've never worked with anything that could be remotely described as 'at scale', it's mostly been line-of-business apps with a few dozen users maximum, or at most a web shop that still runs on a single dedicated server), but it seems like all of the Serverless providers add a bunch of extra concepts and confusion on top of what should really be a simple principle. Or maybe I'm completely misunderstanding the point of Serverless and it's actually intended to solve a completely different problem I've never had--I'm also open to that explanation instead!
