It was a long time ago. But some searching today, official response from Adobe (2010):

> Again, we've done the research. The profits aren't there -- very few Linux users are willing to pay for commercial software. And the cost of entry is still high because of the fragmented Linux landscape. The Linux world has to change before commercial software will have reason to invest in Linux ports. And we haven't seen much real change in the Linux market in several years.

Even Adobe, after releasing a popular beta of FrameMaker, withdrew it from circulation after a poll suggested that users were unwilling to pay for applications.

Definitely agree about putting tying the value of a new product or system to metrics, if possible. It makes it easier to argue about the worth of the product and can often tie into important metrics that you'd want to track across projects.

It's still gambling... even more so if you can exchange the cosmetics back for real money. Which means it's still exploiting some people's gambling addition tendencies, which is the justification for gambling regulations in the first place. They don't regulate video poker because the gambling is making that arcade machine less fun.
I'm sure you mean well, but sort of argument of "Sure X is bad, but what about Y?" isn't particularly helpful.

There's always going to be Other things. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't call-out bad things, and try to fix them.
As I understand it, they are really a nicotine company. There is neither tobacco nor smoke.
There’s no evidence of this. Everything I’ve read indicates that vaping is likely (and dramatically) less harmful. The levels of toxins are orders of magnitude lower or nonexistent in vapor.

Also, there’s no combustion when liquid-based nicotine solution is atomized.
Not all tobacco/nicotine products are taxed equally. In my state a pack of cigarettes is $10, but you can buy cigarette sized cigars for $2.50 for a 20pk, a 170pk of nicotine gum for $35 (1 gum = 1 cigarette). In defense, chewing nicotine gum is a lot less harmful than smoking a cigarette.

Thanks for the article, will read at home. The conclusion isn't unanimous however.
I wish I could set that up for Chrome on win7 so my parents don't end up with it every time they update some completely unrelated software.
How about labor representation in the Board of Governors?
What is the significance of that question? If the answer is no should Juul not be banned? This just senseless what-aboutism.
Then Juul should be put next to the nicotine patches and gum in the pharmacy, and be marketed as a medication. The FDA heavily regulates substances that can be abused when not used as medication (things like meth ingredients).

Frankly, letting a company aggressively market a highly addictive compound to an impressionable segment of society because of a single-use excuse ("it can be used as medication!") is a bit disappointing. It also reads as astroturfing because it's such a limp talking point.
This is just stupid. Until the government wants to ban crap like watermelon vodka, this is just a win for traditional tobacco companies. Should we be encouraging anyone to smoke or Vape? No. But that doesn’t mean shitty retailers breaking the law aren’t the bigger problem. Do parents have no responsibility here anymore?
What's so barbaric about insisting that rebels to the social contract learn how to work? Or demanding, even at metaphorical or literal gunpoint, that they work to support themselves, just as the rest of society must?

Now, I would like to say that this comment only applies to serious crimes. Murder, violence, kidnapping, theft. People who have proven that they cannot currently function in normal company. Labor and honest sweat can serve a great role in teaching a man the value and positive power of his hands, even if they were once bloody. In fact, you admit almost as much in the phrase "make their own sustainable living".

That said, the current system strays a little far from that script, for two reasons: overcriminalization and unregulated for-profit prisons. I have no problem with forcing a serious criminal to work, or work profitably, but a hard-working blue collar guy who was caught with drugs doesn't deserve to be forced through the same program that's designed to rehabilitate thieves! At the same time, the work they endure should be no more extraordinary, or less regulated, than what a person on the outside must do. The fruits of their labor should be mainly culled to offset the cost of their incarceration, just as most of our pay is taken by the bank and the landlord, but the wages should be fair, and saving some money should be allowed. The only option that should be denied them is laziness.
You should know that exercising a bunch and jamming more food into your system IS NOT the "healthiest" option, if life span is your goal.

Calorie restriction IS perhaps the healthiest route, if you are mainly interested in living longer. Feeling better is harder to quantify. The "TLDR" is: Exercise moderately, and find the minimal amount of calories you can consume without feeling like shit. That's the optimal balance.

The unfortunate reality is that often the "healthiest" path in life, doesn't FEEL the best. I felt my best lifting 3-4x a week, running, and eating 3600-3900 calories per day. I was constantly full, but felt like I had tons of physical and mental energy. Alas, plenty of research has been done on the effects of large calorie diets EVEN WHEN CONTROLLED FOR WEIGHT. Large calories = bad.

If you're interested, here's a good place to start:

The work laptop I'm typing this on has NVidia graphics, but all the driver stuff was handled automatically in the installation process and I never even thought about it.

How many grams of protein do you consume? Trying to eat the recommended amount (0.5 - 1.0 g / lb-bodyweight) seems like a lot of effort at first, but has amazing effects on recovery, especially for resistance exercise.
I think you need to factor age in as well. Recovery is a lot easier in your 20's.
How to Be Better at Parties
> Combustion is still the main chemical reaction

Please do some research! This is blatantly false. Combustion is not involved in vaping, and boiling is not a chemical reaction!

It's very easy to find peer reviewed medical studies showing vape compounds are considerably healthier than cigarette smoke.

30 sec of googling shows https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph10105146 amongst the relevant docs.
I just tried it and no it doesn't
>Why not ban fruity alcoholic drinks too? Kids prefer those to beer.

Sure, why not. Germany for example put a heavy tax on alcopops because they were too popular with teenagers (despite teenagers not being allowed to buy them), which largely drove alcopops from the market [1]

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcopop#Germany
Starting Strength is another excellent program to follow and if you pick up the book it features an exhaustive description of the bio-mechanics involved in each lift (which you can skip if you just want the charts).
It's too bad that we somehow decided that steroids are immoral and need to be regulated to the point that they're essentially banned.

Anabolic steroids, when provided in correct dosages and under the care of a physician, are quite safe and solve this exact problem.
Somehow the openess of graphic formats does not make Gimp a better proposition than Photoshop, specially when handling color workflows on digital agencies.
The point is the government is not consistent about what is permitted and what is banned.

If you are banning vices that cause societal harm, alcohol is far ahead of anything else. DUI victims, destroyed families, physical abuse, homelessness...alcohol is reliably correlated to all of these but since it brings in lots of tax $$$ and educated voters enjoy their Pinot, we look the other way.
While I appreciate your point, I'm not so sure your generalization is any more valid than mine. Chipotle is a good example of a company that got slammed due to a reputation problem, and is still recovering from it years later. The jury's still out on Intel after spectre.

Also I think the reason Equifax hasn't been hurt is largely because they do not depend directly on consumers for their business model. I think it is more than just my small circle of friends that would like nothing more than to see them die.
Because high-status people drink, while smoking is mostly a habit of low-status people.
It would’ve been so easy to make these prescription only. That way people who wanted to use them in place of cigarettes or to help them quit would be able to, but it would be much harder for them to become “cool“ and take off the way e-cigarettes/vaping have.
It doesn't matter which cherry you pick, they all lead to the same conclusion: eating too many animals and not enough plants causes our most common diseases (obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke). Dr. Greger's agenda is not about the animals, it is about the people.
I think marketing nicotine is probably worse, but the gig economy does get lots of criticism.
It's likely that on balance they have saved many lives.
you know, there's a theory of this and I personally find it much more useful at explaining things than most other political/economic theories... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism
This runs contrary to everything I've read. Vaping is much less harmful than smoking. Vaping does not rely on combustion but rather vaporization. The resulting compounds aren't just as toxic.

Did you just make that up?

to be honest, put grandma in a XFCE distro with Windows 7/XP-like desktop and Chrome and she should be comfortable with anything.

Like Linux Lite distro[0], I'm running it right now and except for the inability of using super/windows key as part of multi-key shortcuts ala Windows 7, it's almost perfect as a drop-in replacement for the latter (for me personally and a couple of my friends)...

Yes, when I got started with FreeCAD, they were in a very rough spot, transitioning between internal engines of some sort. I tried hard with it for about 6 months, finding it extremely buggy to the point of unusable then made a donation and pledged to try it out in the future. I think it's time I gave it another look now.
I totally agree with the "missing core.async" part. Actually I miss them so much in python that I implemented the complete set of semantics in [aiochan](https://github.com/zh217/aiochan).

Its that too, but that aspect of it isnt gambling. It's the part where buying the existing loot box gives you access to a second, yet unknown, gambling outcome.
That's actually described in the post. Check out the part where Gemfile* is copied to /tmp, it results in gems getting cached between deploys as long as Gemfile itself was not modified.
I agree with you 100%, but these agencies are often headed by former executives of companies which they pretend to vilify.
Cigars are a different, less addictive nicotine delivery mechanism.

Juul is problematic because they have an improved nicotine salt that delivers cigarette-like intensity/dosage. The upside is that it's easier to transition from cigarettes. The downside is that it shares the strong addictive quality of cigarettes.

I wish. If that was true I'd be much happier with politics than I am.
Frontpage was terrible for the web in many ways but damn it if I didn't love it to death when I first figured out how to use it and made my first websites with it. It was my first "code" editor in a long line (Frontpage -> Notepad++ -> Coda -> Sublime Text -> Sublime Text 2 -> PHPStorm -> IDEA Ultimate)
They give citations alright, but citations don't equal evidence. The results of the particular study you linked has been heavily criticized for example, see [0]. The fact that this paper wasn't published in a respected peer reviewed journal is also troubling, as it hides the opinion of the reviewers.

> Don't say stuff like "they make bogus claims", please - you don't know that, and it's unprofessional.

It's unprofessional to tell people they're wrong, when the scientific consensus says they're wrong? So you can't tell flat earthers the earth is round because that would be 'unprofessional'?

I used Word for a long time, and learned "advanced features". It just sucks compared to real content production software like LaTeX.
yeah, exactly. This is a newish thing for the FDA, too. I think they were given regulatory power in ~2014.
Where do you think the nicotine comes from?
Many mushrooms have medicinal properties. Lion's Mane promotes BDNF, neural regeneration, remyelination. Others like Maitake, Turkey Tail, Chaga, Cordyceps, Shiitake, and Reishi support the immune system in incredible ways.

Here's my favorite study showing a blend of Turkey Tail and Reishi eliminating high-risk (oncogenic) HPV in 88% of subjects vs. 5% control in a 2-month period:

Mushrooms are no joke.
The american DMCA includes provision to penalize false takedowns, but from what I've seen the provision isn't used too often.
I suppose you can deactivate it.
I sometimes have the same feeling,but I'm not sure it's true.

From an economical point of view it makes no sense to put legislation in place that will strengthen the market position of mostly US, non-EU companies.

Another reasoning could be to "prepare" a censorship infrastructure, but I can't find any hard evidences to this.
Certain things were worse, certain things were better. Unfettered access to opiates prior to the FDA's formation never led to a crisis like we are seeing today.
Does 18.04 do that?
I'd also recommend www.startingstrength.com as well. It's similar to strong lifts, but they have a lot of articles on correct form.
Where did I claim it was a perfect system? My point was that it's a better system than the alternative of everyone fending for themselves.

Also, alcohol sales and marketing are heavily regulated, along with tobacco.
That is one crap graph. What’s the Y axis?
Same exact thing happened with my wife's epipen, turned up an order of magnitude. 300$ for a two-pack via insurance. 40$ for a two pack OTC. Pharmacist said _nothing_ and it was only after she called me to be angry about how expensive it was that I realized it was the mylan ripoff and told her to request a generic.

And this for a medicine that she'll literally die without. I see red even thinking about this. I don't understand how to get the broader populous to realize how dangerously broken this system is if they haven't by now.
I have 500k ids today. Now you want me to make those ids dynamic and correlate how much Splunk data with Vault audit data? And what is my pattern matching regex going to look like when the ids I'm trying to match on are randomly generated? And how do I pick out anomalous behavior from the noise I just intentionally created because Terraform can't stop leaking my secrets? And what about the performance? How does Vault scale to generate that many identities? And how do I audit my authorizations since on Vault I'd just see what groups the IDs were added to but not the groups those groups belonged to? What about replicating my authentication backends? Active Directory replication takes minutes to replicate a password in some environments, it's going to take longer to replicate a new identity and its group memberships. And while I can revoke an identity after some time, that doesn't mean existing authenticated sessions are terminated, it just means subsequent authentication with the same secret will fail.
This paper from a separate comment has an overview of the research on the demonstrated or suspected effects of current and 5G wavelengths:

https://twin.sci-hub.tw/6759/4e3bc086c40841aacf40b068776dc0f...

I'm not savvy enough in the related biological fields to comment on the soundness of the research and the results, but FWIW there were a few claims made about millimeter wavelengths (to be used by 5G) that gave me pause.

I'm astonished that there are folks in this thread who believe vaping to be as harmful as smoking cigarettes. Are there any peer reviewed papers supporting this assertion? I've kept an eye on literature as it's been released and everything indicates orders of magnitude less cell death and disruption from nicotine and flavor carrying PG/VG vape juice than cigarette smoke. Linked a DOI supporting this understanding elsewhere, but wondering if folks have papers supporting the opposite?
The best way to use LinkedIn I’ve found: 1. Turn off all notifications and badges. 2. Don’t allow any permissions, especially your contacts. 3. Log in at most once every 3 months or so, answer or ignore your messages, giving your actual email address to anyone you want to continue to talk with, and log out.

Skip “the feed”, job search, all the social network crap, and all LinkedIn's begging pleading to let them loose on your contact list.
I didn't have one and yes it took a few weeks of building up to being able to stand all day, so I would take sitting breaks for 1-2 hours. From what I understand, it's actually better to have a mix than to stand only. But yes, now that you remind me, I will get a pad! Thank you.
So what? Do the differences actually matter enough to invalidate the policy issue under discussion?
According to the article, there are currently 2.1 million underage "candy nicotine" users. How many of them would have been smokers if the alternative didn't exist? If it's banned, how many will switch to regular cigarettes vs. unflavored e-cigarettes? What are the relative risks of each? Unfortunately nobody actually knows the relative risks, which is the most pressing problem here.
IMO while protein is needed for muscle building, recommendations like 3.3g/kg (I've even seen recommendations of 4.4g/kg) come from a "more is always better" mentality, along with a pop culture obsession with protein.

Personally, a simple flat 100g seems both a reasonable & attainable goal for most regular people building muscle without requiring exceptional diets (here I fall back on naturalism- I cannot believe that exceptional diets are required to get fit). You can easily hit that number with 1/4-1/3lb of meat a day plus whole grains and vegetables.
It's a EU directive: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/financial-pr...
They allow Firefox but it's the android version and not the Linux version so it has a different UI and you often get mobile sites when browsing.
Interesting. I wonder if vaping would have the same effect, or if it's some other ingredient?
I believe this is in reference to US "fair use" in a separate legal sense, not the YouTube Terms of Service.

Many times simply claiming "fair use" is the defense of the layman online in regards to virtually anything involving someone else's intellectual property, which in fact it's fairly well defined and limited.

YouTube does have a reasonable page (https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/copyright/fair-use/) on fair use in this context which I think essentially says that they're interested in following the law.
But then why did they not pay voluntarily when publishing companies asked for this prior to lobbying for this law?
I too am an EU citizen, living in the Netherlands. I am also an American citizen and have lived there.

Although I generally prefer the Dutch set of laws to the American, Dutch laws stifle innovation. The difference in even simple things like setting up a business, hiring an employee, and ensuring compliance with local laws is insane.

Every time I go to America I get requests for random things that either don't exist in the Netherlands or are criminally expensive. Bengay cream here costs €16.20 for 57g, only available at special online shops. In America you can buy it everywhere, €5.84 for 113g. That's one example. You might criticize it for being too arcane, but there are hundreds of thousands. Each one of these things costs double the Amazon price or more for popular products: RAM, angle steel, many batteries, sanding belts, IEMs, pumps, permethrin, LEDs. That's just off the top of my head. Every time I need something it's a game: will I get lucky and pay 40% extra, or will it be only available for 200% the price? Or even worse, not available at all?

You want to sell those things above? Go ahead. A few of them are even triple (!!!) the American retail price, so you'll make bank, right? Start a business. But you won't, and nobody else will, because it's tremendously difficult to start a business here.

I can understand higher taxes make products more expensive - sure. Those taxes provide the benefits I enjoy in a country like the Netherlands. I can even deal with the cost of shipping from America. But I cannot deal with paying double or triple the cost for hundreds of thousands of various products. And laws like this just continue the movement in the wrong direction.
Because the American philosophy is that people who make good decisions should not have to subsidize the poor decision making of others.

America has a significant social safety net, but should responsible citizens pay for the upkeep of someone who has multiple children out of wedlock before the age of 20 without any means to support those children? Absolutely not.

People must take responsibility for their own actions.
True, but when you find a lot of random change correlations that are not really there.
Considering there is no definitive proof that vapes cause cancer, there is overwhelming evidence that cigarettes are responsible for a whole array of cancers and diseases, and I see teenagers and young adults smoking cigarettes all around Boston (even elite college kids), allowing Juul and other vapes to advertise and sell at retail seems like a worthwhile and beneficial option for society.
I grant that vaporization occurs at a lower temperature than combustion, but it is still a chemical reaction that relies on a heating element. Proponents of e-cigs have always argued that this makes e-cigs safer, and it does not produce the same compounds that yobacco burning does. What is not clear is whether the compounds produced are safer.
Exactly. This is why I do it everyday - it becomes a habit. I wake up and work out. No different than brushing my teeth.
