80% of the crimes being linked to drug use means that most people will only care about the remaining 20%.

But, anyway, AFAIK, drug usage is not a crime in Brazil. Dealing is. And for dealing related crimes to go away, one has to legalize the entire production and distribution.

Buy from a farmers' market, and ask. Most of the sellers will know off the top of their heads exactly how their crops have been grown and what was/wasn't used, and if they don't, that's a seller to avoid.

As an added bonus, farmers' markets tend to be cheaper than supermarkets even as the food is better. It mystifies me that they aren't more commonly used and have a reputation as being for rich hipsters (i.e., like Whole Foods).
Yes, this must be it. Thank you (and other commenters!) for the added references.
> Their argument is that people should be constantly aware of how much they are paying in taxes, and making it too easy would hinder this.

Which is so stupid because so many people have no idea at all what they pay in taxes because of employer withholding. I knew more than one coworker who thought they didnt pay taxes because they get a check back at the end of the year. They had no idea how withholding worked until I explained it to them. Note that these were otherwise smart adults (software engineers).

Sodium in isolation might cause high blood pressure in certain people depending on the proportion of water and other electrolytes in their diet. Your body excretes water, sodium, and other electrolytes in proportion to maintain osmotic pressure within the cell and in the intracellular spaces. This is handled by the kidneys.

If you over-consume any one electrolyte or water compared to a baseline osmotic pressure may increase or decrease until the body compensates. This is from the article.

I'm not a doctor but I've taken some first aid classes where electrolyte and dehydration were covered in the context of hiking and backpacking. It's also possible to drain your body of electrolytes by sweating, because again the electrolytes must be present in proportion to the water and sweat contains electrolyte because the glands need the proper osmotic pressure to induct water. You may also drain electrolyte into your intestine because the body also needs the water to have the proper osmotic pressure to absorb it in the first place. This is why Oral Rehydration Salts have table and other salts in them.

The body is extremely complicated, and I'm always very suspicious when someone tells me that "X causes X" without explaining the mechanism of action or the caveats. Every body is different and the same body in different situations will require different treatments. Complex dynamical systems frequently exhibit chaotic behavior. Chaotic systems have the feature that taking the same intervention and applying it at slightly different points in the system's evolution can produce wildly different sequences of further evolution.

I hope that one day nutritional science will have advanced to the point where this is understood and expected during study design. But until that happens it's hard for me to believe many nutritional studies.
Things I value in a bank as a consumer. Loans that are serviced by a single entity for the life of the loan. Not ordering transactions in an attempt to drive the balance below zero in a day. Ease of ATM access. Customer service. I have all of these at the CU I use.

I don't keep large liquid in my CU, instead that is in higher yeild accounts, but that was true with Chase or BoA as well.

The reliable IT system has to be there, but you might be horrified about the beast of systems (human and computer) that make our banks/ach/transactions/etc function.

I don't worry much about loosing money in the bank due to FDIC/
NCUSIF. I can't audit their internal process so I instead depend on insurance. It kinda removes worry about their IT infra from my mind.

If you are above FDIC value, you should be banking with multiple banks and putting your money to better uses.

>* Clearly, the predicates grue and bleen are not the kinds of predicates we use in everyday life or in science,*

I would argue that this situation actually does show up in every-day life and science. Any situation where your coordinate system changes from one arbitrary thing to another will result in a situation where the name, place or other quality you assign to something "changes" without any real change being involved. I think that a lot of philosophical problems can be reduced to the verbal equivalent of switching between arbitrary coordinate systems.
Interesting how a lot of these problems don't seem to exist in Europe. (I lived in Scotland, then moved to Finland. Of course I appreciate "Europe" is full of diverse companies, regulations, and facilities. Still I think it would be wierd to find people in Europe paying rent by mailing physical checks, etc.)

Specifically "ATM Fees" are something I've never had to deal with, fast transfers were the norm, simple analytics were common-place. (Things like pie-charts showing where your money had been spent from your "checking account".)

The only thing that has always been missing from companies I've used has been easy-to-automate-exports of data. You could login and export manually to CSV, etc, but you couldn't easily script that. That seems to be changing at the moment, and EU-wide there are provisions being made for exporting and API-usage (though I suspect it'll all be terrible.)

The Nordea bank I use in Finland has a very nice little mobile app for showing my my accounts, mortgages, and investments. It also lets me schedule appointments, or call customer-support.

Customer service is hard though; much like delivery companies there are only so many banks to choose from. Name any name and ten people will say "Worst. Bank. Ever". I've used maybe five banks in my life-time, and none were terrible, even if some were better than average.

roundup is likely more harmful then glyphosate alone, which has been itself confirmed as harmful in a handful of investigations:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300483X0...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1257596/ "Surprisingly, Roundup is always more toxic than its active ingredient... We conclude that endocrine and toxic effects of Roundup, not just glyphosate, can be observed in mammals."

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00244-006-0154-8

"The cytotoxic, and potentially endocrine-disrupting effects of Roundup are thus amplified with time. Taken together, these data suggest that Roundup exposure may affect human reproduction and fetal development in case of contamination. Chemical mixtures in formulations appear to be underestimated regarding their toxic or hormonal impact."

I think what you're seeing is that most people know that up to 10mph over the limit is pretty safe in regards to getting a speeding ticket.

That's separate from how fast they think is safe on the freeway in general from a physical standpoint. If there were no limits posted, they'd go even faster.

So basically I'm saying that both you and the parent poster are both correct. It's just that more than just physical safety is being taken into account.

I've been using a trackpoint for a long while now and I was 99% certain they were superior to everything else but i had been hearing a lot of good things about the surface book trackpads and that they were at the same level as apples so I decided to switch for a while.

its been about 4 months of using nothing but a trackpad and even though its really good im fairly certain I'll be sticking with trackpoints from here on out.

one thing that's really starting to bug me lately is the accidental clicks from your palm hitting the edge of the trackpad. I don't know how people manage with those new macbooks with the oversized trackpads
This happened to me as well, they processed every transaction as pure profit. I don't see how this disproves that they had the data though. They literally had every transaction I made that year as reported by the brokerage, they just didn't use the data right largely because I'm still required to spoon it to them correctly.
Farmer's markets aren't cheaper in sf. The quality is definitely better than whole foods - but some of the other retailers have great produce and lower costs than the farmers markets. I am not trying detract from farmer's markets as they are an important part of the ecosystem - but they are pretty bougie in town.
It would be nice if I could buy cryptocurrency with my account funds, and for it to be protected/insured while it was in the bank's wallet. The ability to transfer in and out, etc. The ability to make debits against a cryptocurrency balance, etc.

I use robinhood at the moment. If robinhood was able to act more like a bank, and supported transferring cryptocurrency in and out, then it would basically be what I was looking for.

In the past I've just used coinbase/poloniex, and I just transfer to my wallets. I currently use bitcoin to buy domains on namecheap, and I use purse.io to buy stuff from amazon - but I can see myself using it for a lot more in the future.

There may not be a lot of demand for it, but like I said, if local banks started offering these services it would get my attention.

Raising income tax rates is unpopular, so the UK government adds hidden income taxes that aren't reported anywhere.

You need to add 12% to your marginal tax rate before £46500 per year for national insurance payments (and 2% after that), and 20% between £100k and £121k per year for the loss of the standard deduction. The real marginal tax rate for someone making £100k is 62%.

Also include 12% employer's NI (which by law isn't included in your salary, but must be paid by your employer), and a nice 20% sales tax levied on everyone except people with a significant amount of savings.

This is assuming that the system would be inherently trustworthy and trustable with no human oversight. I have a nagging suspicion that over time this system would still settle in a state where we have just as many humans involved in ensuring everything is kosher as we have now, but compounded with a system that is less transparent for someone who is blockchain illiterate.

Assuming that voting would become effectively free, the second point does sound quite intriguing. It's the sort of direct democracy that is practiced by some countries (e.g. Switzerland). It does require a certain level of voter education though - so people look at the longer term. Otherwise you'll never push through an initiative that raises taxes for example.

Attempts at building in smoothness to logic never seem very useful to me, because true/false based logic already supports real numbers and probabilities as well as you could hope it to. If anything the real discovery of symbolic logic was that you don't need smooth primitives to build arguments about smooth things - it was obvious from the beginning that you could assign something that was one of two things to one of two symbols, but the realization that you could also do math and physics that way came much later.
I am determining the merit of a statement based on the arguments, which are absent in your comment. The choice of words merely made it ironic.

Interesting they set the PWM (pulse width modulation) based on battery voltage as not to stress out the motors. Cheaper than some caps & resistors for a voltage divider from a high V source, or a boost/buck controller. Still necessary for the CPU though. If I remember correctly, this thing ran off 4 1.5V cells (+6V). Yay, software!

Clever use of tilt sensor to seed the pseudo-random num generator. (page A22)

Too bad the diagnostic file isn't included (diag7.asm) per page A21.

(A33) That cycle-counting timer loop brings back memories, too -- throwing in a few NOP (no-operation) calls just to eat a cycle and get the timing right on a horizontal/vertical retrace -- while here they're doing it so the service intervals on sound & motor control come out right.

Interesting! Yeah the reason your comment stuck out to me is because I enjoy traveling around Asia in particular, and over here in many places PCs are bigger than ever. You have entire multistory shopping centers dedicated to PCs and PC parts which you can pick up for dirt cheap. And even in rural[ish] areas there are internet cafes absolutely everywhere that are always loaded. People use them mostly for gaming, but every once in a blue moon some work gets done on them as well. In either case not really something smartphones are so great for.

For what it's worth the smartphones are also very popular and start around $20, computers around $50. But they're certainly complimenting each other rather than cannibalizing. Why do you think the same might not be true in Africa?
Thanks, LeoSolaris.

Yeah, even 'close' to work still has a bad commute, and the prices skyrocket.

I do intend to bring the situation up with my superiors at work. Due to my position, I don't know if merely handing in a 2-weeks notice would be fair to them. I'm also considering negotiating a severance of a few months' salary in return for a few months' notice of leave.

You're right that even though I don't think they'd go for a telework deal, there's no harm in asking, and better to leave no stone unturned.

One part that I haven't figured out yet though, is how to replace my professional career growth. I really feel that my immediate boss doesn't have much to offer me in this capacity... and he's the source of all my work-related stress. He can be pretty hard to deal with. For more backstory- roughly 30% of the department under him has quit since he's been assigned in charge.

I recently ran into a similar thing when driving a Chevrolet Volt, which can operate using either electricity or gasoline.

If you drive 50% in electric mode at 110 MPGe and 50% in gas mode at 40 MPGe, what's your average MPGe?

It's only: 1 / (0.5/110 + 0.5/40) = 58.7 MPGe

It's definitely a 6502 looking at the source.

The whole idea is the IRS would prefill all the forms with all the information they know and you'd login and add anything that's missing. 80% of taxpayers would just confirm and hit submit, the ones who need to add stuff know who they are. You can always hire someone to do it for you too.

Most people already claim the standard deduction and with the new tax reform 95%+ of tax returns are going to claim the standard deduction this year. As part of the hypothetical bill could also require more organizations (charities, local governments) to report to the IRS.

I have business income the IRS doesn't know a thing about before I fill out my schedule c, but prefilled forms for all the stuff they DO know about would still be awesome and super helpful.

sadamznintern, are you Asian by any chance? Because I'm Chinese, and I feel that this "comparison" sort of mindset has been ingrained into me since I was born and I've struggled to ignore it my whole life. It most likely came from hearing the sort of reverence my dad would have for people that made it (hold an Ivy League degree, become a doctor/lawyer/banker/someone of prestigious esteem, have FU money, etc.), and the sort of resentment he held for himself not having made it, and projected onto me. I flunked out of the best university in my city/province, and imagine how angry he was that I ended up in a community college (to him, lack of prestige signal = trash). Its the same mindset/attitude that holds a sort of disdain for arts majors, any occupation that doesn't spell out long-term stability and financial capability. I also found myself not really respecting someone off the bat unless I saw that they went to a proper brand-name school on LinkedIn, and while I know its irrational, the feelings are still triggered. Its pretty unhealthy black-or-white thinking, which tends to make one judge and tyrannize oneself.
