On my country at least there is a trend that only registered costumers have promotions and discounts, but what really happens is that the price of the things go up and the registered costumers pay the 'normal' price.

Yeah. I've been T1D since I was 13 (now 30) and I can't even imagine what it's like to live without it. It's literally a constant thread in my mind, every waking moment, and a few times a week while I sleep. I carry glucose tablets and a few granola bars on me, and you're right about carrying insulin. Am I likely to eat on this trip, or can I leave it at home so it doesn't spoil?

I once failed to bring my insulin on an international trip. That was a doozy!

Making injections easier would be nice, sure. Not having to worry about finding a bathroom or bleeding into my pants or whatever. But that's a real minor set of issues compared to the constant attentiveness that managing it well requires.
> I pay with my time to watch or listen to your stupid ad.

Not if you're using an ad-blocker.

Perhaps the reason you're using an ad-blocker is because you don't want to be tracked, and the only way to do that is to block ads completely. I get it. But you're also using up Spotify's bandwidth and licensing fees (which in turn allow music to be created in the first place), without providing anything in return.

This is only possible because paying and ad-watching customers are subsidizing your behavior. It is the definition of freeloading.
Netflix offers too much value for a small amount plus the size of movies makes downloading/previewing the throwaway type of netflix shows make it hard to justify the effort to pirate.

Spotify always seems less useful compared to winamp if you knew what music you liked or like to download everything from one band who's best days are behind them. A hassle for new stuff but if you want the all of the 'yes' albums the rare shows, interviews spotify just doesn't cut it.

Intercom is a shadow CRM that tries to do everything but ultimately fails to do anything well.

Damn good advice. #1 is really key for me -- I find that if I decompose a learning effort into the smallest possible grains, I have a much better chance of sticking with it. For example, when I felt intimidated about learning SQL long ago, I said "well let me just learn how to write a trivial query" and then "well maybe I can try some joins," etc etc until I had it near nuff comprehended.

Fear of learning something new...?

I have real problems understanding the question. Honestly.

The only way it could even remotely make sense to me is something like:

"Fear of failing to learn something that is required knowledge to save your (your) job/livelihood/life.

Case in point: am I "scared" of learning German? No, but I can think it will be too hard for the level of energy I will be able to put into studying it compared to the benefits.

So - at least in my case - the only "scaring" element would be "scared of wasting my time/money pursuing this".

There is and google does ban sites. The problem that creates is that it is now easier to do "negative" SEO where you spam your competitors with 2010 era backlink spam to get them de-indexed.

If your goal is to rank number 1 you can either raise your site up or just remove the sites ranking above you, same effect and the second option is far easier now

I don't think you can separate what he says about his policies from the actual policies. They are part of a whole. "fluidity in meaning" is another way of saying they don't mean what they say. That doesn't mean they don't intend what they say to be taken literally. I don't buy the idea that people vote for candidates thinking "I know he/she was just making empty promises." The public may accept that politicians aren't always able to deliver on their promises, but not that the promises themselves were just some vague metaphorical allusion with no real intent behind them.
Both T1D and T2D are increasing year-over-year. Also, 90-95% of diabetics in the US have T2D, so the 15% of T2D patients on insulin is still 13.5-14.25% of all diabetics. We already know that 76.5-80.75% of all diabetics aren't using insulin, because they're non-insulin using T2D patients.

In other words, more T2D patients take insulin than exist in all of the T1D population.

Hi Charlie! It's getting increasing difficult for fiction to stay ahead of reality.

I would welcome your conjectures on how the spooks controlled Obama. His enduring legacy may be heavy use of the Espionage Act to prosecute whistleblowers, and a radical expansion of "death from the sky", which seem incompatible with his personality, creating a mystery: What leverage did/do the spooks have on him?
hmm no disrespect intended but .. this line of the article jumps out .. "C++ is a good choice for a standard implementation of the protocol, it is a common denominator of most of the languages out there, it has a massive developer community and is widely adopted in the industry for performance middleware applications."

AFAIK the linking characteristics of C++ are pretty bad, since the symbols are mangled in a compiler-specific way, no?

If a small library implements a protocol for any new kernel to re-use, wouldn't it be better to use a language that results in stable external symbols, for linking ?
> The real downside to beetus is having to think about it constantly, IMO

Pretty much this. Obviously needles and finger pricks are a bigger deal for some people, but most diabetics get used to it fairly quickly. The hard part is the constant mental drain of having to be your own pancreas. It's like you're constantly flying a plane where you have to manually maintain a certain altitude, because you'll crash and die if you fly too low or too high. It's exhausting.
It can certainly be much cheaper. I pay 17€/month for "unlimited" LTE (includes 9GB EU roaming) and this at ~75 Mbit/s up/down speeds in most cases. Now it's hard to say what "unlimited" actually means in numbers, as it's just defined as reasonable usage in the terms of service. However as another data point, the next cheapest plan is 100GB LTE for 15€/month, so I assume unlimited is at the very least above 100GB.
"Lack and Transcendence" by David Loy.

We've all asked the questions: "What's life all about? Who am I?" This book won't give you the answers but it will show you why all the "solutions" given since the beginning of time are probably wrong. The author blends Eastern Zen with Western Psychology in a mix that will have your mind spinning right from the first page. Fair warning: You may lose your-self after reading this book.
Because what mc32 is doing is a rather cheap rhetorical tactic: asserting that, when Mr. Trump says something I (for the appropriate I) like, he is to be believed, but when he says something unappealing or rediculous, he's joking. It's a relative of the "no true Scotsman".

It's also a bit of a problem for a representative government, since it means you cannot take any of Trump's statements as a forecast of his policies.

Generally, that would result in a lossy-to-lossy conversion (at least on youtube, which primarily serves aac and opus audio).

But even ignoring that, most youtube videos go through a lossy-to-lossy conversion/re-encode when it's uploaded in the first place. Authors typically encode their videos into a lossy format before uploading them, and at least the video stream is always re-encoded by youtube itself once the video has been uploaded.

In addition, the source material (like screen captures etc.) is often encoded in a lossy format as well, which would result in the following chain:

lossless video capture -> saved to disk (lossy encoding) -> video editor, then save result (lossy encoding) -> upload to youtube -> youtube encodes to formats to be delivered to viewers (lossy encoding)

If you specify a non-lossless format to youtube-dl, then append -> youtube-dl re-encode to chosen format (lossy encoding).

If this is at all attractive to people, it's going to make insulin so damned expensive.

The price of insulin is already rising: there aren't all that many generic manufacturers of it, leaving them in a competition-free market. If this takes off it's going to suck up a good chunk of the marketplace, and probably leave us with maybe one or two generic manufacturers - enough to have an effective monopoly. Insulin prices will spike the same way epi pens did.

Good tech. But sad re. what it's going to do to patients for a while.

Outrage? I doubt it, frankly. Max Mosley was literally filmed in 2008 having a BDSM orgy with hookers dressed up in Nazi regalia and even then the reaction was more muted than not. To the extent there was a public outcry it stemmed entirely from the Nazi themes more than the sexual acts themselves. Personally I give that a pass as well, but understand why it would ruffle feathers.

If you take out the complaint about pricing, then what remains is a general take on live-chat solutions. It's a valid complaint--and, from my experience, correct for most cases--but shouldn't be aimed solely at Intercom. I've tested live chats from Intercom, Drift, HubSpot, Smooch, and others, and they're all equally underwhelming.

There were 3 issues involved in the decision to drop the bomb:
1. The battle of Okinawa was fought vigorously by the Japanese leading the allies to increase their estimates of the cost of war on the Japanese homeland.
2. The fear that if the war lasted too long then the Soviet Union would enter the pacific war and carve up Japan in the same way we carved up Germany
3. Japan's desire for a conditional surrender

It is the 3rd factor that was the crux. I believe if we understood the terms of the conditional surrender then we could have ended the war without dropping the bomb. In fact, we likely did comply with what the Japanese wanted since we protected the emperor after the war.
I wonder if they'll penalise paying users who also happen to be running an ad blocker.

Maybe, but delivering exceptional value in one area (books), is probably correlated to providing value in other areas (AWS, retail, etc).

You could imagine a similar situation with Google. You buy google stock because they created a really good search engine. But being able to deliver a great search engine also, it seems, is correlated to providing great advertising services, cloud computing, and email.

Being good at one thing is probably correlated to being good at other things (especially if they are related). While being bad at one thing is probably correlated with being bad at other things.

Also, according to a quick google search only ~5% of diabetics are type 1, so there are still about 3 times as many type 2 diabetics taking insulin.

Regardless, I suspect he meant that more different types of insulin allow diabetics to take insulin in more different ways aka lifestyles. e.g. closed loop CGM vs a daily long acting insulin plus a short acting for meals.
