It’s interesting to notice that what we have here is one industry being villified, and then possibly passing the buck, only to point at another industry as possibly to blame.

It’s pretty interesting to think about how easy it is to muddy the waters like this. Something starts off as a direct medical concern, but then sprals into a secondary contamination problem. Both are bad. Plastics are bad for a variety of reasons, and sugars definitely contribute to obesity.

But, horomonal factors really cannot be shrugged at. There’s some serious distortion affecting people for the past 20 or more years, and it’s nothing normal. Is it birth control pills being dumped down the drain, and recirculating into the drinking water? Is it ibuprofen messing with people who have over dosed on their analgesic NSAIDs?

One thing’s for sure modern civilization has inteoduced many complications, all simultaneously, and that is likely the biggest mistake of all.

Also, I’m not sure you’ve used the word “parsimonious” correctly? Are you trying to say they’ve been “very careful” or “strict”? I think it’d be more appropriate to replace it with “well aligned” or “concomitant” if a vocabulary word should be preferred.
Companies giving researchers permission to do something is inherently different from it being legal to do something. In one case you are able to operate only at the whims of the companies you're researching. The companies can for any reason, and at any time, withdraw their consent and take legal action against a researcher. Yo can debate the likelihood of that ad nauseuam, however it would seem to still be a potential risk. In the other case, your are free to operate as you see fit because you have every legal right to investigate and go about your business. As far as I can tell, you're arguing that the former circumstances are good enough, whereas the author and apparently the EFF and ALCU are trying to obtain the former.
> I believe you are making a wrong decision if you trust anything on the AUR implicitly.

That's basically my entire point.
There is an easy answer though. You do what successful humans have done for thousands of years:
- educate yourself
- join or form a community that supports each other
- fight for your survival like every ancestor in your genetic tree did before you.

Life isn't easy. But you also aren't naturally weak. Unfortunately, once you start doing drugs, you risk corrupting the source code of the machine you rely on.
In all fairness, you usually have to buy it.
I'm going to take this in a different direction and say: That's not the important question.

The important question is whether you're interested in what the company and specific team are doing. Example: I once interned at Google, on the Chrome team. I mean, it's GOOGLE, free food and wonderful smart people and again it is GOOGLE and I'm an UNDERGRAD! What I learned that summer was that I don't actually care about web browsers at all. And so my internship was kind of a bust just because I didn't care much about what we were doing. I had no drive to stay at the office late to keep grinding away at the problem.

What motivates you? What really interests you? Whether you're doing data science or software engineering, that will be far more important to you having a successful internship.

"batteries included" means that the software itself has everything you need to get going. It's not that it's hard to get an individual component, but now you're relying on a third party component and potential issues with random configurations etc. It takes some research and effort to figure out that react-router is the best module among the options for routing.
It's supposed to be a bad thing that React doesn't add yet another way of making HTTP calls? There is already a standard way of doing that (fetch). Why should a web framework add another one?
>I was paying $50/month ($600/year) for something that cost literally pennies for them to manufacture.

This applies to the vast majority of drugs. Most of the cost either goes to recouping R&D or funding less profitable drugs.

Consume as in "eat/drink". Not consume as in "use".

The word drink/drank/drunk would be better if the conjugations weren't so aweful. Dranken, drinked are not words. The correct word is "drunk", but it hits the ear badly:

"The majority of all water drunk in the country is sparkling"

I have no idea about the factual accuracy.
FWIW, Angular, Vue, Polymer, Ember, etc. all use the same component-ish pattern; it's the architecture du jour. That's great that you were able to pick up React right off the bat, but the concept of components isn't what sets it apart.

> Allow players to purchase "carbon offsets" which instantly reduce their personal carbon score

I'd prefer buying carbon offsets doing exactly nothing as in real life. It is a cheat that's not benefiting anyone.
Yeah I think a good way to keep things realistic is for the offsets to be fulfilled by other players. If someone is too busy generating in-game currency, they can just pay newer players or those looking for money to plant lots of trees.

I’m slightly surprised by all the comments here about syrups. Our SodaStream is used a couple of times a day to make soda water, and I can’t remember the last time a flavouring was added. Mind you, it always surprises me to hear people say they don‘t like the taste of water.
Carbs nor sugar causes T2 diabetes. Simply put, sugar (refined or in food with a high glycemic level) becomes dangerous when you are diabetic because you body can't handle it because the arteries are plagued (from overconsumption of fat) so the sugar becomes trapped in the blood instead of escaping and being processed as it should, and as it's trapped in the blood it will build up to dangerous levels.

The reason you've always heard that (processed) carbs and sugars causes it, is probably because processed carbs and sugar is most often served with huge amounts of fat. Think oils and animal fat in cakes, candy, fries and so on. In any way, it isn't the cause, the cause is the fat, but rising levels of carbs and sugar go hand in hand with rising levels of fat.

Is there a distro out there that will just ignore legal issues and publish any packages they can get their hands on, like a Sci-Hub for distros?
Wow. I can see a few other things to increase the scariness..

1. Boreal forests catch fire on hotter/higher CO2 (like they are in California now)

2. Temperate areas get terraformed to deserts if possible

3. Health heals slower, or not at all on high CO2 due to environmental effects

4. Sources of fire increase their sparking distance in which flammable things catch on fire easier. Encourages easier spread of forest fires and player-crafted fires.

5. Water turns acidic, and deals slow damage. (Like the coral reefs)
This was a failure of a fibre connection to the internet and a cloud service.

Oddly enough, Gatwick's CIO was last week [1] telling journalists that he didn't like to rely on the cloud:

"The airport has used multi-tenanted public cloud in the past, but for that to work perfectly you need your telecom providers to work well, the path across internet to work, the hosting firm's telecoms to work, and their data centre support and monitoring not to drop. We have had examples where even in the public cloud using dedicated slices, you can suffer from noisy neighbours, and we just can't have that. Our operations are too important to us, so we need to keep it close. We use cloud for resilience, and we're very pro-cloud, but not for core services."

So it seems odd that departure boards were being fed from a cloud service. Maybe they hadn't been considered as a core service until now.

On the bright side at least the failure was limited to just the boards. The website, apps and check in desks all had the correct information.

By "running the company" the article means, the company's management. There were many more employees.
Almost none of those were vendors giving permission; I left out dozens of talks where it was clear permission had been given (for instance: no Apple or Microsoft talks on that list).
Fun facts, in county jails (and I'm sure in hospitals) there are 3 classes of drugs that you will get detox medication for: opiods, benzos and alcohol. The detox meds for alcohol is benzos. The detox med for bezos is more benzos (although is a controlled, tapered manner). Both these two are much more dangerous to detox off of than opiods, with alcohol being the most dangerous. Everything else, cocaine, meth, etc is not particularly dangerous to withdraw from and usually these patients will not get specific detox medications.

They do something, but I think it's not correct in Minecraft. In real life it increases costs which means lowering that cost has a benefit to the bottom line (i.e. a well meaning employee can justify this to people measured by profits/costs/etc.).

However, in MC where is the profit and does a carbon credit actually encourage players to try to do something seems interesting thing to see.

I'm similar -- thankfully, when I panic I can frequently get through it without taking a benzo, but I do have clonazepam on hand for the situations where it might be very useful.

There are times where I would've likely made poor decisions during an acute panic attack that was aborted quickly by benzos. The ability to say "stop now" -- hell, even the security of know there's a way to say "stop now" -- is important to coping with anxiety.

The reason a ketogenic diet reverses type 2 diabetes in some people are because either a) those people go from eating extremely unhealthy to following a specific diet or b) they eat less calories than their bodies use thus they loose weight and thus the plague built-up can reverse. A ketogenic diet that allows too much fat will give you type 2 diabetes just like any other diet that allows for too high fat consumption.

Good point. I was careful to say "big" as well as "multi-purpose", because I think most of us are more comfortable with "big" commits than "multi-purpose" commits, and a commit that is both should send off red flags.

Specifically, it's hard to code review multi-purpose commits because you have to think more extensively about the side effects, risks, regressions, etc. for unrelated changes that are lumped together. If it's a small commit, that tends to not be an issue, but if you're touching several unrelated areas in a big commit, it gets really tough. And as a general best practice, you want your code to be easy to review.

I found that the Coke-alike syrup could taste a lot like Coke, but you had to add a little less than half the amount of syrup they recommend.

I eventually dropped it, though, because the CO2 canisters were too expensive and didn't want the hassle of modding it to use a rechargeable CO2 system (and the subsequent years of being tied to it to get back to a neutral return-on-investment versus just buying Coke).
Oddly enough I seriously investigated this path when I was drinking 1600oz (47 liters) per week of Diet Dr. Pepper. It was possible, through careful shopping, to buy it between 2 and 3 cents per ounce. Trying to buy it as bulk syrup was something like 4 cents per ounce (of soda) not counting the cost of the CO2 and filter system for the water.

In terms of the symptoms people more classically associate with the concept of "withdrawal", these can last MONTHS TO YEARS after the cessation of long term benzodizepine use.

If one wishes to cease benzodiazepine usage, they effectively are forced to slowly taper over time period that can potentially take years. If one were to "cold turkey" after a multi-year long period of heavy benzodiazepine use, assuming they survived with no other long term damage, their severe-moderate withdrawal symptoms would still be apparent after several months. These include, but not limited to, constant paranoia/panic attacks, constant visible parkinson-like shaking, SEVERE unceasing insomnia, etc.

I've only elaborated on the withdrawal aspect of benzodiazepines as well. They are capable of causing far more harm than simply their lethal withdrawals. User behavior, synergistic effects on respiratory depression, etc.

But cannabis does cause physical dependence:

"Marijuana (Cannabis sativa) is the most commonly used illicit drug worldwide as well as in the Unites States. Prolonged use of marijuana or repeated administration of its primary psychoactive constituent, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), can lead to physical dependence in humans and laboratory animals. The changes that occur with repeated cannabis use include alterations in behavioral, physiological, and biochemical responses. A variety of withdrawal responses occur in cannabis-dependent individuals: anger, aggression, irritability, anxiety and nervousness, decreased appetite or weight loss, restlessness, and sleep difficulties with strange dreams. But the long half-life and other pharmacokinetic properties of THC result in delayed expression of withdrawal symptoms, and because of the lack of contiguity between drug cessation and withdrawal responses the latter are not readily recognized as a clinically relevant syndrome. Over the past 30 years, a substantial body of clinical and laboratory animal research has emerged supporting the assertion that chronic exposure to cannabinoids produces physical dependence and may contribute to drug maintenance in cannabis-dependent individuals." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3606907/

Also there is no clear distinction between physical and psychological dependence, just like the lines between physical and psychological trauma is equally blurred.
