I agree, I personally read this as very threatening. In general I find that Microsoft's messaging has lost touch w/ reality. Remember when MS used to say "please?" -- ever notice how nowadays instead of asking you they command you? "Don't turn off your PC", "We're getting things ready", "This may take a while."

I've noticed this trend since Windows 8, but it's gotten really bad in Windows 10. Their messaging has become very anti-user.

My personal favorite from more recent builds of 10: "Windows is a service, and regular updates are an important part of keeping it running." Oh really? A service? My mistake, I thought I had licensed an operating system.

>A list of concerned people who area also engineers, scientists, and understand the field.

This is false. Just look at the list. It's full of homeopaths, electrosensitive people, 'independent researchers', people totally outside their fields, retirees, or people with degree but no research records in the field.

As a Finn I looked at people from Finland in the list. All cranks.
It was hard! Here’s where the “eat clean” obsession breaks down for me. Gummy bears and chips balanced with plenty of protein works great for me.

1. Gummy bears. 500 calories a pack. (Usually before or after a workout)

2. Fritos, 1500 calories a bag.

3. Chicken breast and eggs - high protein and good fats from the eggs I can afford on a grad student stipend.

4. Natural peanut butter. This and other nut butters are key.

5. Whole milk.

Past a certain amount of carbs, I feel like they make me bloated, so it’s easier for me to use fats and some junk food to get the rest of calories in.

Wealth and poverty for both society and the individual a generational. This generation lifts themselves to a height that makes life better for the next generation. One life time isn't enough to measure whether working hard will make you successful.

Being born into a well off standard is being born into generations of sacrifices and hard work. If the current generation doesn't work hard to maintain they will certainly make life harder for a few generations down the line.

I feel like this is the case for a lot of the differences between the US and other countries. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as "just make the Federal government do it for everyone".

The constitution limits the authority of what the Federal government can do in the US and delegates everything else to state and local governments.

They’ve been talking about green cards for foreigners for as long as I was there (2007), every year it will be different this time, every year it isn’t.

More to the point: green cards are so rare most Chinese institutions don’t know what to do with them. They don’t actually help that much beyond just getting into the country.

Buying an apartment is usually just subject to residency restrictions whether you are Chinese or a foreigner. Beijing requires that you’ve paid Beijing social security taxes for 5 years if you don’t have hukou, which equally applies to non-Beijing Chinese.
It's like this in Poland for sure. You can't share, but can download. Doesn't apply to software of course due to its different licensing schema.
I highly suspect these young vapers would have picked up smoking instead if products like this didn't exist.

I don't know what more the industry can realistically do. The sales of their products is already limited to adults, and I don't know why advertising flavorings is supposed to be about targeting children (why would adults not like strawberry flavoring?) so unless there is an epidemic of B&M or online stores that keep selling to minors, they're already doing what they can.

Maybe I'm missing something, but as an outsider, the FDA seems dead set on killing your vaping industry by all means necessary.

Conversely - the person who feels like he's good at programming under pressure might consider it no big deal and not bother to mitigate any potential "programming under pressure later" possibilities.
Pathetic. But not surprising; the moral panic around kids vaping has been building for a while now.
The thing I don't understand is what does operating system have to do with paying for software? If I had need for professional level software that costs money, I would pay for it whether I'm using linux or windows.

But, lot of software I need to use doesn't need to be that high level and for what I need plenty of high quality open source options exist. I have no problem paying for software, whatever os I use, if it's the software I need. But if an open source alternative with comparable or sometimes better features exists why wouldn't I use it?

And games honestly, There are plenty I would spend money on if they supported linux and i've purchased ones that have interested me.

Its a complicated situation, really. The last thing that Linux needs is an incentive for every little app to have its own profit motive. I mean, Android and ChromeOS have stores, but would they be successful without a solid foundation of built-in functionality?

Having said that, I haven't really observed a difference in Linux users willingness to pay for large functional applications. I don't think there are objections to paying for IntelliJ or Photoshop grade applications in general.

No they are not. You can just take your prescription elsewhere (e.g. to another Walgreens or whatever). For example, say you lose a pack of pills. If you want a refill you then have to pay for it out of pocket since the insurance won't pay. If the pharmacy charges an inflated cash price to an insurance customer vs a regular customer (without a coupon or something) then that would be a major lawsuit waiting to happen. You can use a drug manufacturers coupon too (e.g. they give a PBM code).

I have long been confused how Juul manages to avoid getting taxed into oblivion.

A cart has ~2x packs of cigarettes worth of nicotine, yet is regularly sold for ~$15 in my state, which is a 50% or greater savings over traditional cigarettes. I don't entirely understand how this is legal.

The FDA is in an interesting regulatory bind here, too -- I think nicotine is unique in their regulatory scope in that the FDA is concerned with efficacy and safety and tobacco products are known to be unsafe and ineffective therapeutic agents.
It's still amusing to me that Juul markets itself, raises money, and structures its ranks like a technology startup, but they're really a tobacco company. Every trope about "growth hacking" from a traditional startup apply here, except that "growth hacking" is most impactful with getting kids to smoke, which I at least assumed was a non-starter for forward-thinking people in the 21st century. Yet, here we are, with a tech startup that likely needs kids to smoke in order to turn their company's financials right-side-up for a successful exit.

Great article. I always wondered if the decline i see with elderly people is due to age or just because they become inactive.

The usual suspect when i comes to Pi SD Card corruption is a bad power supply. The Pi will (attempt to) draw more power than it can, resulting in a corrupted SD card.

I've also run a large part of my internal network on RPis, but have since moved to Intel NUC machines, where i replaced a bunch of Pis with 2 NUCs.
Storage like you has always been handled on a NAS. Synology in my case.

I don't have need for much computing power, so the NUCs handle that just fine.

Damn. That's horrible. I empathize. Leading up to divorces, I've been suicidal and escaped using drugs. And when it came down to it, I've also made an effort to be fair.

But in my case, my ex-wives also made efforts to be fair. So it worked out OK for us. And both of them remain good friends. One of my ex-girlfriends is one of my wife's best friends. Almost a sister ;) I acknowledge Landmark Education for that :)

Here's a funny story. My second wife and I did a no-fault divorce, and hired an attorney to handle the paperwork. But he fucked up, so we sued him in small claims court to recover the fees that we'd paid him :)
Yeah, 3.3g/kg is really high, and I don't see how you could get there without living on shakes. From that examine.com article:

Eating more than 2.6 g/kg (1.18 g/lb) is probably not going to lead to greater muscle gains, but it can minimize fat gains when “bulking” — i.e., when eating above maintenance in order to gain (muscle) weight.

True that. For normal retailers there is still the competition part which kind of tends to pull prices down.

And Amazon has the legendary fly wheel which has lower prices in it. So it kind of seems that Amazon is moving away from the original strategy and becoming an "normal" retailer. Not that investors don't like that, obviously.

Hope you uninstalled all the extra bundled stuff from Amazon and friends.
>I highly suspect these young vapers would have picked up smoking instead if products like this didn't exist.

personal observation, not data, but I don't think this is so. I work on a university campus, and the proportion of people on campus that smoke has cratered this decade. The only reliable smoking populations are foreign students, and they seem to taper off over their undergrad years, which I can ascribe only to peer pressure against smelling horrible -- and maybe easy access to "study aids" like adderall.

edit: i should add that juul use has jumped just this year alone, and with less focused of a user group.
Seems like it could work. Nonsense local policies to encourage "affordable" housing like inclusionary zoning have been huge failures. In big cities, we just need way more housing. Yet NIMBYs fight it at every step, esp in SF.

Essentially the problem with micropayments is microscams: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15592192

Stealth browser-mining lets everyone skip all the genuine attempts at transferring value and go straight to microscams.

Edit: hoisted body of comment: "Unsolved, difficult problems of micropayments"

- pay before viewing: how do you know that the thing you're paying for is the thing that you're expecting? What if it's a rickroll or goatse?

- so do you give refunds a la steam?

- pay and adverts: double-dipping is very annoying

- pay and adverts: how do you know who you're paying? A page appears with a micropayment request, but how do you know you've not just paid the advertiser to view their ad?

- pay and frame: can you have multiple payees per displayed page? (this has good and bad ideas)

- pay and popups: it's going to be like those notification or app install modals, yet another annoyance for people to bounce off

- pay limits: contactless has a £30 limit here. Would you have the same payment system suitable for $.01 payments and $1000 payments? How easy is it to trick people into paying over the odds (see refunds)?

- pay and censors: who's excluded from the payment system? Why?

Essentially the problem with micropayments is microscams.

Part 2: business model problems!

- getting money into the system is plagued by usual fraud problems of card TX for pure digital goods

- nobody wants to build a federated system; everyone wants to build a Play/Apple/Steam store where they take 30%

- winner-take-all effects are strong

- Play store et al already exist, why not use that?

- Free substitute goods are just a click away

- Consumers will pirate anything no matter how cheap the original is

- No real consumer demand for micropayments

=> lemma from previous 3 items: market for online goods is efficient enough to drive all marginal prices to zero

- existing problem of the play store letting your kid spend all the money

- friction: it would be great if you didn't have to repeatedly approve things, such as a micropayment for every page of a webcomic archive. But blanket approval lets bad actors drain the jar or inattentive users waste it and then feel conned

- first most obvious model for making this work is porn, which is inevitably blacklisted by the payment processors, has a worse environment for fraud/chargebacks, and is toxic to VCs (see Patreon and even Craigslist)

- Internet has actually killed previously working micropayment systems such as Minitel, paid ringtones (anyone remember the dark era of Crazy Frog?); surviving ones like premium SMS and phone have a scammy, seedy feel.

- accounting requirements: do you have to pay VAT on that micropayment? do you have to declare it? Is it a federal offence to sell something to an Iranian or North Korean for one cent?
As a former smoker who was only able to quit using Juul, this is disappointing to me. As a father of a one year old, I understand the reasoning behind this.

I think perhaps the answer is to make the Juul and similar products less appealing to youth. How? Of course this is a complex topic but less flashy hardware and marketing could be a small start.
definitely start a sit/stand desk as early as possible. I didn't think I was that unhealthy sitting all day until I had an injury from a car accident which took waaay too long to heal - primarily bc my hamstrings and IT band were shortened from all that sitting!

Straight from the CDC:

> Nearly 8 of every 100 high school students (7.6%) reported in 2017 that they smoked cigarettes in the past 30 days—a decrease from 15.8% in 2011.

>Nearly 12 of every 100 high school students (11.7%) reported in 2016 that they used electronic cigarettes in the past 30 days—an increase from 1.5% in 2011.

While of course e-cigs aren't harmless, there's a pretty clear replacement effect between them and cigarettes. Kids are going to do stupid things anyways, taking away the more enjoyable of the two isn't going to stop that.

Completely agree, hence I said -ish. I'm not Paleo, but it's probably the closest to what I normally eat. Lots of veggies and protein with high quality carbs and limited 'junk' (I also almost completely stopped eating sweets). I view diet as something you can do your entire life, and I've settled on something that I can easily follow and enjoy.

As an Australian I'm a huge fan of our PBS. The government negotiats with manufactures on behalf of all Australians, sets the total amount they will pay (manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer) price, and then sets the amount that the patient contributes.

It's not perfect, and there are a few drugs we get a raw deal on, but overall we all get decent access to whatever medication we need without blowing the budget.

Healthcare is basically a right here though, so it's hard to compare to the USA.
