True, but, if I took every simple precaution I know of to prevent all of the unlikely but known conditions, I doubt I'd get anything done in a day. Or have much fun.

* Avoid cars.

* Wash hands after exposure to public transit and before touching one's face.

* Always wear sunscreen when exposed to the sun.

* Don't wear contact lenses.

* Wash hands after exposure to dust of any kind.

* Wear mask during moderately poor air condition (almost every day in SF Bay!)

* Don't swim in the south (killer amoebas)

* Don't breathe in the north-west (killer fungi)

* Don't walk in the north-east (insanity causing ticks).

* Drink out of only glass or stainless steel.

* Eat only fresh unprocessed foods.

* Never eat bacon or BBQ.

* Never drink alcohol.

* And definitely, never, ever, go to a hospital.

Park is fun for me. It's relatively cheap too. You just need a ski pass and your gear. I would also qualify as a tech d-bag but I don't spend a ton of money on the sport and generally look like a dirtbag when I'm out and about
No cooking? Even, say, boiling potatoes? I always use filtered water if I'm planning to consume it, but I thought I could get away with the sink if I was throwing it out.

That's news to me, I'll have to boil cold water from now on.
This is correct but most people don't carry a lot of cash in their brokerage account for very long. They either use it to acquire securities, or they move it out to a real bank account. So SIPC is not equipped, financially or logistically, to act like the FDIC.

Incidentally, here is a really good article about what happens when the FDIC takes over a bank:

> Maybe living with the cruddy linux support for the nvidia GPU is the way to go?

What is cruddy linux support in your opinion?

I only know of a couple of things in regards to NVidia Drivers for Linux that I would classify as "cruddy":

1. Proprietary (this is probably the biggest one for most)

2. Not always up-to-date for latest released cards

There may be a third one of performance being a bit lacking compared to the Windows version of the drivers, but I am not really sure if that's really the case, or only the case in instances of games, or what.

There may be other issues I am unaware of, but I've never had any real problem with NVidia drivers under Linux. They work, and they seem to work well for me. Installation is pretty painless (provided you don't much around with your system much - I had to recently re-image my system because my long-in-the-tooth-and-overly-hacked Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system was so modded outside the repo; the worst was a very hacked upgrade to C++ 11 that I did without any documenting in order to be able to complete the exercises for Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree...

In that edge case, no upgrade was possible, because things just wouldn't compile properly. I ended up trying to upgrade the NVidia driver, and things got really b0rked - so bad that re-imaging was the only option. But that was completely my fault (and thankfully, I had built my system to put /home on a different partition on a separate drive - so migration was fairly painless).

The upside to NVidia drivers, though, is CUDA - so if you're into ML/AI stuff (especially like Tensorflow and similar) - it's almost required...
CURRENT fusion reactors are required to be very large scale...

I've got a design that might scale down to the size of a D cell battery, or smaller.

Here is the transcript of a recent, interesting audio podcast with Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23andMe. https://www.recode.net/2018/10/20/18002614/anne-wojcicki-23a... I think what she argues in the podcast is quite reasonable.

Asked about the biggest mistake her startup made in the founding phase, she answered that " I think that we were overly optimistic about the state of scientific literacy in this country. "

And that is true in general. I live in Germany, I am a 23andMe customer, and from my results I learned quite a bit about myself. Locally, whenever I tried to talk about this genetic testing service, I have never had a deeper conversation about this subject matter, even with highly educated folks. It's similar to non-conversations about email encryption and IT security many of you readers might have had.

1 second on Google to confirm you're wrong about the reporting being political. Also, you must be unfamiliar with American media. They've been posting negative articles about the economy for months, with different publications focusing on different parts of the US economy.

Some (most? all?) US states require not only a degree but "ongoing education" every other year that can amount to a not insignificant chunk of wages. It's pretty awful from those I know in the field.

I've been skiing my entire life (age 3 to currently 28) and a spent a great deal of time with an instructor.

My girlfriend has also been skiing her entire life, pretty much never with an instructor. Her first time she joined me and my family with the instructor, she was blown away by how much the instructor was able to improve her skiing in ~20 minutes of teaching.

Seriously, good ones know their shit.
I was asked recently if "I believed in fusion"

my response - "I don't think it will cost effective"

and what you have posted is basically that reason
Sure but that is not the actual trade off. You don't prevent an economic crisis by allowing foreign investment to slow down.

To use another medical analogy the idea that you can prevent an economic crisis by slowing growth is like the idea that you can cure diseases by using leeches to suck out them out.

The way to prevent economic crisis is to stamp out fraud and high risk investment practices (curing the actual disease). Encouraging American business to move factories outside of China does neither of those things.
Given your premise that American media is reporting Chinese Economic Slowdowns more widely than other country's media, there are two options:

1. Conspiracy - They are working together, and perhaps with the government and other private entities, to sow a particular narrative
2. Profit - Their audiences are particularly interested in these stories, given the e.g. aforementioned trade war

I'll leave it to the reader to decide which of these it might _actually_ be.

> Defending oneself from an accusation inherently entails discrediting the accuser

This reduces the question to a black and white decision, which is unreasonable. I see two major flaws here:

1. You're eliding the difference between discrediting the accuser's claim and discrediting the accuser themselves. There is a significant difference between saying "that's not accurate" and saying "the person who said that is a drunken loser who has been out to get me for years."

2. You're likewise removing any distinction between true and untrue responses! Surely it's acceptable to criticize a defendant for lying?

Now, we have not established whether or not Kavanaugh was lying, and I'm not saying he was -- but your response completely skips over that entire facet of the question. You are assuming a conclusion which has not been reached.

I really encourage this. So much of skiing is counter-intuitive probably because the whole sport is counter-intuitive. Skiing is all about falling down a hill in a controlled manner, the opposite of what humans are used to. One example is leaning forward down the slope. It feels scary and less stable, your "reptile brain" doesn't want to do it, but it actually gives you more control.
This is a great exercise to improve your team.
> Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Medium, Disqus... all the same.

Of the ones I've used I like Reddit the most. It allows long posts, uses Markdown, and is threaded.

> We've explored so little of the design space.

I've recently started writing a federated blogging platform which will use the ActivityPub protocol. One nice advantage of federated platforms, is they can share each others' messages meaning it's easier for them to get lots of users (you can piggyback on the rest of the federation), so there can be more experiments on doing things different ways.

> You have to wait at least 30 seconds before you can hit the reply or reshare button.

Or the message isn't sent until a cooling down period.

> Short or low-information comments are discouraged; if your comment is short or an exact duplicate of something previously written (e.g. a common insult), it's blocked or you have to wait longer before posting it.

Sometimes a post can be short because a short post is all that is needed. E.g someone might ask me a question that the answer might simply be "yes". I would find it annoying to have to artificially pad the length.

But longer posts should always be possible and the user interface shouldn't discourage them.

> You must listen to your comment read back to you aloud before you can post it.

That's an interesting one. The way I'm going is posts will be edited in Markdown and will then appear as marked-up text.

> Even when reshared, your comment is always presented together with, and close to, the content of the original source article so it's hard to ignore the source.

What I call the "context" of a post is the post its a reply to and that post's context. This could all be stored in a data-structure (such as JSON) when the post is transferred across the network, so the context would always be there. Also the id of a post could be a hash of its contents, making it tamper-evident.
Absolutely. Fine everyone into the ground. Doesn't look like there is any other way to make people take security seriously.

It relieves the symptoms of sinusitis. Painful pressure can build in your sinuses, and rinsing can help open passages and equalize the pressure as well as soothe the pain a bit.

Is there a website you can type a company name in and address and find all relevant regulators ?
> Calculating only the cost is useful information.

I mean, kind of, but it's not remotely the only relevant piece of information. I could make you a car for $2,000. Would you want to drive it at highway speeds in it? What do you think your chances of survival would be in an accident?

The article makes a point to call out the music therapy case to conjure the specter of seemingly unnecessary regulation leading to regulatory capture, but the vast majority of licensed occupations are licensed because bad shit happened when they weren't. Doctors were quacks. Bridges fell down. Buildings caught fire. Planes fell from the sky. Millions of dollars in damages and countless lives were lost over and over because some greedy sumbitch decided to cut corners or defraud his customers or just didn't think about the consequences of his design or service decisions. These regulations exist because people ruined it.

And I mean, is music therapy dangerous if it's misused? I don't know. I don't even know what music therapy is used to treat! What harm can unethical application music therapy cause? Physiotherapy can easily be unethical. So can psychotherapy and counseling. Why is music therapy harmless, especially if it's been shown to have measurable heath effects? And how can I tell the difference between an actual music therapist whose treatment is based on established practices, and some guy with a blindfold, some headphones, a nice couch, and an mp3 player? Rely on my for-profit insurance company to do that for me, when they have a conflict of interest as well?

Yes, it's difficult to gauge the effectiveness of regulation, especially because you can't tell if what you got for $5,000 in regulation might have been just as effective as if it had cost $500. But arguing that the choice of whether or not to regulate comes down entirely to cost is kind of absurd.
My issue seems to be with amplification and lingering of odors more than distortion. I guess another issue is scents interfering with my taste during and after eating.
Debt jubilees have been replaced with other institutions, most notably, in the modern world, bankruptcy (which is need-based rather than regularly scheduled.)
I honestly do not understand this perspective and would like to be enlightened.

The only way a young person could be given a house without owing any debt would be if someone else bought it for them or if the government paid workers to build houses for everyone. However, if the government paid people to build houses without any payments in return the government would be collected the debt which it would then hold. This doesnt reduce any debt globally it just transfers it.

Maybe you could argue it is better for the debt to be on government than individuals but that doesnt address how no debt is good. No debt would just mean zero houses.
would argue for licensing in fields where improper training can affect lives, safety, and welfare, e.g. Doctors, Mechanics, Engineers, Pilots, etc

And software developers working on anything that handles personal data.
> Social media platforms thrive on size

Yes. This means federated social networks might long-term have the edge, since someone can launch a new one, and by being part of the federation it automatically starts with lots of users.

But there is one key difference: in a rural area in a blue state, you at least have the protection of state law. If you get discriminated against for being gay, you can sue. You don't have to jump through hoops for birth control or abortion. You don't need an ID to vote.

Yeah, sure, your neighbors might be hostile to you, but having the state government behind your back helps immensely.
I’m not an expert, but to hazard a guess, the debt allows financial institutions to extract money directly from government tax take. If I were them, I certainly wouldn’t want that debt to ever be paid off, and indeed to get higher, so that I could keep collecting rent from everyone else in society.
Maybe there should be a general regulatory framework which all data-storing entities should be subjected to, with stiff penalties for the largest violators, as they can shoulder the burden of the biggest burdens.

Is this not how it works for every other industry? Up until the 2008 bank bailouts, that is.
Do we even had a model for Fussion that is energy poasitive? The only Fusion reactors we know to work, work by converting gravitational potential energy into light/heat through fusion this is how stars operate.

All fusion reactions so far require an external input of energy not only to start them but often to sustain them and even those which are self sustaining for a short period of time grind to a halt once you try to extract energy from the system.

So in all honesty while I’m not by any stretch of the imagination an expert in fusion physics I can at least understand conservation laws, does any of the current experiments even relies on a model that is at least proven in principle to be energy positive?

Your 'observation' doesn't seem to match reality.

From what I have read, China has had a huge increase in household debt over the last few years. Perhaps five years ago there where not many Chinese people living with debt, but that is no longer the case. Some have even been calling it a credit bubble

Random article about this I googled:

In other regards, I have read about the Chinese Economy slow down in non American sources, such as the Economist. However, I will agree that I see it the most in US media (the WSJ seems to have a pretty negative outlook on the Chinese Economy right now)
What happened in the early 90s recession when Japan pulled back on foreign investment? Did they cause the recession or were they wiped out by it?

Yea, spectrum is scamming people with that. Got an online quote for 400Mbps internet (no modem) for price X. Signed up for service. Billing price was $X + $15. Called service. Oh, we don't offer that pricing, you could not possibly have a quote for that. I was like I do, and I will hold you to it. So they sent me to the local store. Even the store was like "We don't offer that price" and I replied "So you are illegally baiting and switching on customers and committing mail fraud?". After that they adjusted our rate to the quoted price.

Now that's new. All the objections I've heard so far, from Pullum and from you, were about the fact that the rules stated by Strunk & White are not rules of grammar and are often violated by good writers including the authors, etc. As I've said, that is a nonsensical objection that rests on a misunderstanding of what a style guide is.

But what you seem to be saying now is that if someone follows the recommendations of S&W (and in the way intended by a style guide, i.e. not blindly), their writing will amount to "bad style". Now we're actually discussing style (matters of taste), not grammar -- that's great!

Of course tastes differ so this is fully to be expected, but I'm curious: do you have examples of why you think that what they recommend is bad style? If it helps, and so that we can discuss something concrete, the original 1918 The Elements of Style is available online: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37134 -- it takes less than an hour to read, and even less to skim. (At least its "I. INTRODUCTORY" is well worth reading, to set the book in context.)

My opinion: It is hard to define any writer's style, but overall, the style advocated by Strunk is one of clear ("plain"), concise, and "direct" language. Of course literary writing need not conform to this style, but in most cases it serves well. For most of the examples in the book, although it is easy to imagine situations where a sentence similar to the "before" case would be better than the suggested fix, overall it seems to me that in most cases the changes would be an improvement. (And in some cases the book itself points out contradictory rules explicitly, e.g. Rule 4 and Rule 14.) One only needs to look at the very last section of the book (Exercises 9 to 25) to see how such awkward writing is still very common today, especially in writing by students, and how Strunk's recommended style would improve things.
You can tell it's bad because of the "hyper"
