For an added layer of anonymity I would move what you buy on coinbase to binance and trade it for another currency. So for example buy litecoin on coinbase, move to binance. Trade that for Bitcoin and pay using that.
Added sugar is not necessary for yeast. The yeast is breaking down and using the carbs naturally present in wheat. The simplest breads, like french baguettes, are only made with flour, water, salt and yeast. Sugar is added to many commercial breads because it can make production easier and more consistent and sell more to consumers, but it's not added because it's necessary.
Why do you consider smoking is bad for you? You get lithium from smoking tobacco and lithium increases the production of white blood cells like neutrophils which destroy bacteria and debris in the body. Lithium also helps to stabilise the mood probably because some studies suggest bacteria can affect mood in humans, an area the medical profession largely ignore. Neutrophils also consume sugar before consuming bacteria, perhaps another way to keep bacterial infections managable. Either way, is smoking really that bad considering the smoke raises liver enzymes as do the charred parts of meat cooked using sources of infrared radiation.
One other point about smoking which has been recognised by the meat industry is that gas treated meat using carbon monoxide as a preservative helps to stall the growth of bacteria, and smokers will also be inhaling carbon monoxide which can stay in the red blood cells for upto around 6-8hrs. No studies exist to show if this inhaled carbon monoxide has an antibacterial effect in the body but its possible carbon monoxide besides killing a person in high enough quantity could also have an antibacterial effect considering there are about 6lb of bacteria in the average body carrying out all sorts of functions some good some not.
So is smoking really that bad or is it a fast way to self medicate considering anything inhaled will get straight into the bloodstream where it can have an immediate effect before the liver breaks these chemicals down into metabolites, some of which can also have an effect on the body as noted in various pharmaceutical drug studies and illegal drug studies such as cocaine?

Interesting. I've not seen this happen in practice though (and I have tested it). I'll have to try pushing it right to the limit, which I don't normally do in 30 zones. Mine's a 2015 model; I don't know if there's any variation with earlier models' behaviour.
I guess I don't understand your statement as an actual real-world vector would look quite different than that. I may not understand what you're suggesting.

Visiting a webpage and copy-pasting a string off of it is not a very good practice for security because you're adding on a lot of parties to trust with that secret!

Effectively you want to minimize ANY place that your secret exist in plaintext, and trusting a webpage with this is just not a good idea.

The yeast metabolises that sugar.

I think people are talking about adding sugar for taste, beyond what the yeast can metabolise, which is common in US food culture but not generally elsewhere.
You know perfectly well what I meant. It is never genderless. The quote from the article makes that obvious: "At the funeral, everyone was dressed to the nines, each wearing his swankest tie or nicest dress." When it's used generically, it is still casting all the antecedents to males.
Foods with added sugar should be an easy starting point.
I really appreciate your taking a look and writing all of that up. We're only a month or so into public beta, so a lot of things (mainly on that technical documentation side that you mentioned) are still missing. We've been heavily focused on enabling non-technical people, or very early beginners, to use the platform as creators, so we've been a little hesitant to overwhelm them with technical things that might scare them off or make it seem like this isn't a tool for them. That being said, you're absolutely right that it's a huge piece of this (and arguably the most important piece for a certain audience) and part of a balance we need to find moving forward. If you're curious about the answers to those questions, there's a low-level technical writeup on this page [0] that I'm working on incorporating somewhere into the actual product/landing page.

That doesn't work as well for https connections where you can only block on domain name, for which any DNS/VPN-based blocking works just as well.
It significantly shifts the onus on people who want it banned to prove it would work though. "In country X they do policy Y and it works/doesn't work" is a much stronger argument than "Yeah but in our country it's different."
It could also be the case that advertising changes which particular product people choose (say, which brand of beer), but doesn't affect the demand for beer overall.
Okay, but in none of these scenarios is the 'oil industry' the bad guy. They are simply one industry providing one good that people currently desire with great fervor. All your solutions, ultimately still require personal change. That is fine, since that's the way this will get solved, but none of your points even make much sense.

For example, in my area, our electricity is already generated cheaply by renewables, but we end up being required to pay the state mandated electricity company for 'distribution'. This unnecessary intrusion into the free market on behalf of the state is ridiculous, but again, the oil industry isn't to blame. Firstly, because the utility company is not an oil company, and secondly, because the ultimate bad guy is the state, not any private company.

One concern is the possibility of being sued by Monsanto. Monsanto has promised on its website not to sue farmers if there is inadvertent contamination in their crops. OTOH Monsanto has aggressively sued farmers in other cases. So I guess if you are a farmer and there is contamination happening on your fields, it would be wise to be at least a little scared.

Out of curiosity, how did you become so knowledgeable about nutrition? This comment, and your other (now deleted) comment make it seem like you are really confident that you know more than everyone else.

My biggest complaint about learning about nutrition is that everyone says opposing things, and it is really difficult for me to know what is right and what is snake oil.

Any tips on learning the “right” way to be healthy?
I don't get it yet... what does it mean?
I think you are underestimating the costs of alcohol on society by reducing it to "just" a death count. I won't deny that sugar consumption is a public health crisis.

But on the other hand, consuming sugar mainly only harms yourself. People that consume sugar (usually) don't go kill innocent people or tear apart their family or cause all sorts of permanent physical and mental issues in children.
There's definitely a value to having those skills within tech. The flip side is that while I spend many hours pursuing acting outside of work, many of my peers instead work long hours or do loads of side projects. Early career theirs is a far more effective strategy for (tech) career growth. Longer term it might work out better me.
Well there are children, not exactly “2nd hand sugar” but it’s a good faith arguement...alcohol and tobacco are age regulated whereas sugar isn’t.

The incidences of both fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes in children is pretty alarming, and just saying that and focusing on the number of incidents is alarming rather than the fact a single child has either of those diseases, whereas the first medical cases of either only occurred in the 80’s. I don’t think the first case of childhood type 2 was even diagnosed in the UK until the 90’s. Now we have 1.25 million kids in the US with the disease whereas 100% of all cases could have been prevented through diet.
I dont have a strong opinion on the topic of alcohol advertising, but, on your core point advertising can also attempt to take market share rather than grow the market.

If you advertise a craft beer to take share from budwiser, its possible that no additional beer was drank, but the ads were still effective
Considering they are one of the most extremist and hypocritical organizations I can think of I would certainly vote a strong no on that
Sorry, I meant that the chemical makeup of beef is distinct from that of plants. I wasn't referring to additives. I meant the proteins/enzymes, etc.
All good points. Furthermore it's easy to consider the possibility that in different cultural contexts the consumer demand for alcohol is driven by different factors. It may be the case that in one region alcohol consumption is driven by advertisements that promote it as a party drug, while in another region alcohol consumption is driven by oppressive poverty and bleak outlooks on life.

In other words, the reason a 40 year old coal miner with black lung drinks every day might be different from the reason a 19 year old frat bro drinks on friday and saturday evenings.

Important to point out that the negative health impact of any 'vice' (and you can consider sugar a vice given this discussion) go way beyond just 'death'. There are so many negative impacts that are significant vs. just 'how many people die'. For example health care costs and related health problems (which result in economic impact as well as costs for everyone).
In my amateur opinion, yes. The principal difference is pleasure: sugar and other sweet things are more pleasurable to eat than bland foods like white bread.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4224

This is important because eating when you're not hungry is a huge risk factor for obesity. It's not rewarding or fun to eat bland foods when you're not hungry, but it is still fun to eat candy when you're not hungry. This can be particularly problematic when sugary foods become a form of hedonic substitution or a coping strategy in bored or depressed individuals. Additionally, there are some studies which suggest that the tongue may become desensitized to sweetness when habitually eating sugary foods, potentially motivating individuals to choose sweeter foods at meal times:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ejn.13149

White bread isn't good for you, but it lacks these effects.
Is there any reliable source to back up the claim that sugar is more addictive than alcohol?

I am suspicious about this claim because there are plenty of people and families ruined directly as a result of alcoholism. I don’t think sugar addiction is causing nearly as much trouble as alcoholism, despite being a more widely consumed and easily available substance.

While the article is a little over the top with Rust vs C, the how to portion of this artivle is nice, as well as the explanation of some of the pitfalls.
It's actually a subsidy in reverse:

1) The so-called "Farm Bill" provides hundreds of billions of dollars in what is essentially farmer socialism, incredible sums of money to protect farmers livelihoods from the free market. Prices too low? Government will pay you to not grow anything to inflate prices. (This doesn't include Trumps tens of billions in more farmer socialism to help protect them from his trade wars)

2) Welfare in general, generally speaking blue/liberal states and cities pay astronomically more into welfare programs (food stamps, unemployment, social security) than they draw, while red states/conservative states draw astronomically more in benefits from the federal gov than they pay.

So in two hundred-billion-plus ways, the liberal cities subsidize the rural farmers and their farms.

And then we buy our produce from central and south america anyway...
> But on the other hand, consuming sugar mainly only harms yourself.

See my comment re: health care costs (which everyone pays for).
If you're referring to the CDC figure, then I doubt you're making an apples-to-apples comparison. That figure's based on the deaths that are easily attributable to serious alcohol over-consumption, like cirrhosis or car wrecks. It doesn't include things like increased cancer or heart disease risk.

Whereas the oft-quoted figures for smoking and sugar are pretty much all about things like increased cancer or heart disease risk.

I'm not sure what the numbers would be like if you _did_ include those diseases in the alcohol death figures, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up somewhere between smoking and sugar.
You could argue that America is unregulating itself to death.
A small amount of wine has been shown in small scale studies to have a moderate health benefit (though it's possible that's due to economic factors), most wine users consume far more wine than was studied.

Isn't a third option for advertising simply to increase brand awareness? It's been a while since I last watched TV, but I remember ads for laundry detergent for example.

Is it reasonable to say that people wash their clothes more often because there's ads for laundry detergent on tv? I think these ads were designed to make you grab their product when you're in the super market because you've seen their brand before. I remember I recently bought a bottle of shampoo and realized the only reason i grabbed this particular one was that i immediately recognized it because i saw their ads on TV over a decade ago.

If we assume that most people drink socially, then I think it's not unreasonable to think that consumption doesn't really increase with advertising. You probably don't go out with friends for a beer more often because you saw an ad for a particular brand of beer.
How do you feel about "I'll try, but I'll probably screw it up because I'm really not used to this -- sorry in advance."

I kinda feel like I have to say something like that as a hedge. It helps prevent some of the anxiety about messing up.

Arguing that power should be distributed and the people’s vote respected isn’t a route to personal power or success.

Instead we get the pitch: “the people were misled and it’s all X’s fault, vote for me to curb X’s power”. Presently, X is facebook or twitter. It used to be Republicans.
If the gateway used to receive these requests cannot decrypt them and they pass through other connections before decryption, why wouldn’t this be possible? At the point of decryption you’d have the connecting IP of the last hop but if the origin IP isn’t forwarded, and there’s no request correlation ID or other identifying information, the machine processing the request wouldn’t know where the original request came from.

Of course any of the intermediate machines could be tracking this data for correlation purposes but it should be possible to strip it along the way.

If the request data containing the 424242 is encrypted and only the machine without origin info has access to that identifier, how would you know the request is for 424242?
It’s banned in Iceland. The big breweries simply offer a low alcohol with the same branding and advertise those. Poor tourists end up being the only ones buying them, not knowing they are low alcohol, as they are allowed to sell the low alcohol beers in the grocery stores while regular beer can only be sold at the state run liqueur stores.

Are you sure about that? It has negatively affected millions of people in the US.

"A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry this month finds that the rate of alcohol use disorder, or what's colloquially known as “alcoholism,” rose by a shocking 49 percent in the first decade of the 2000s."

One in eight American adults.

Optimistically, critical thinking.

More likely, something else useless to take its place.
I think a smaller but still effective first step would be to label sugary products as such. Many people may be unaware of the number of things they consume which are more than 50% refined sugar by dry weight. A great deal of "fruit" products fall in to this category.
The SCMP seems to have been fairly vocal. There doesn’t seem to be anything that would stop the removal of all the critical journalists though, so I am somewhat confused.
Advertising isn't the only way of hearing about products. Newspapers (for goods with a wide audience) and specialized magazines can serve this need. While advertisers try to give customers (mis-)information that makes them buy $PRODUCT, magazines (that are paid for by the customers) are incentivized to give them useful information that helps them make good decisions. That's a clear win.

Classified-like ads may be better than nothing. But the average ad is worse than useless. What information do we gain from, say, an ad for Coca-Cola? None at best since we already know it exists. More likely, we learn to associate it with happy, healthy, fit young people. Our rational mind may know this association is bullshit. But there are some very stupid people in the world and our emotional minds don't really take orders from our intellect anyway. Never hearing about a product frequently is better than advertising.

Maybe they meant Sweden/Norway only? I'm not sure. I think the alcohol tax in Sweden is like a full 7x higher than Denmark. I could be wrong there. This is second hand from an old co worker, and years out of date.
The US is behind Western and Northern Europe in almost every facet of development that I can think of, except for GDP per capita. Education, healthcare, social mobility, political culture, news media seriousness, public infrastructure, etc.

The US is also shockingly institutionally paralyzed and unable to make meaningful reforms in any area, even if they are very popular with the majority of voters. The last one I can think of was ObamaCare, which was not a particularly radical change, but felt like it because of how difficult it was to pass.

It's not particularly interesting to ask "why can't we reform digital privacy laws" -- the more interesting general question is "why can't we reform anything".

The comedy TV show Party Down, about a group of struggling actors working a side-gig as caterers, provides a good insight into the mindset required to have a chance at "making it" in Hollywood.

Its message seemed to be that, yes, you have virtually no chance of success, but accepting that fact means you have no chance of success. To have a chance, you have to willingly accept a degree of self-delusion, and have a support system of fellow wannabes who'll back up this self-delusion, as you back up theirs.
Free newspapers as well, they are available in pretty much every station or next to some bus stops.

At one level I understand what you area saying but at another level I think your statement undermines what it means to relinquish one set of ideas in favor of another.

It is perhaps a hindrance that we don't have an ethnic-neutral term for the set of ideas associated with "western values" but "western" is descriptive of the origin not the applicability of the ideas.

In order to genuinally adopt and espouse "western values" you have to at some level abandon "non-western values". This of course has as a pre-requisite that you've discarded the notion of multiculturalism -- at least the version of multiculturalism that insists that avoiding value judgements between cultures as a virtue unto itself.
I really like the bendy train in the artistic rendering. What materials would allow for railroad car chassis and bodies which could bend and torque with the curve of the track like rubber? I think you would need lots of wheels or a relatively pointless flex-inducing system on each car to even get it to bend in this fashion.

Perhaps it just made for a pretty picture, and a completely impractical reality :)

Intentionally leaking the data this way, probably not in most cases.

Intentionally choosing to accept the (increased) risk of such incidents instead of spending money to secure it properly, on the other hand, seems likely.

The cost of breaches for the company that allowed other people's data to get leaked is still way too low, so there is little incentive to secure the data appropriately. Additionally, costs/benefits in security are hard to measure. In business decision making, visible costs/benefits tend to win over invisible costs/benefits, so the very visible cost of paying someone to get it right has an additional disadvantage over the invisible risk of maybe, potentially, having to actually pay the (small) cost of a breach in the future.
