There is a lot of difference in the quality and composition of freebase juice. The differences between vaporizers is also massive.

I eventually settled on a juice with a coffee caramel flavor that smelled like someone just made a cake.

Go and try several combinations in a store that is specialized. The Juul is Big Tobacco still giving you an old fashion hit of nicotine.

From the perspective of systems security -- there are too many security vulnerabilities regardless of whether or not they are being actively exploited to centralize national elections to a couple heavily populated states. These are states that have a bad track record of internal governance, and abolishing the EC will provide ample additional motivation to abuse those vulnerabilities if they aren't already.

California recently had to be forced by lawsuit to remove 5 million invalid voter registrations. Multiple counties have more registered voters than they have age 18+ citizens. It is unclear how often these registrations were actually used to vote, but isn't it possible that ballots could be printed and filled surreptitiously for these registrations in the future?

Pine trees the primary tree we had present, they have rather resinous bark the goats did not eat. The fence was pretty robust - the only 'temporary' part of it was the actual fencing. The posts were bedded in cement with sturdy chain-link fencing. After the goats were done, my father and older brothers removed the chain-link and substituted it for chicken wire to form the basis for the new chicken pen.

As an American and a Texan, I find it sad you think patriotism is weird.
Even Raspberry Pis have many GBs of both disk and RAM and super fast USB, MicroSD, and network transfer speeds.

I don't really see the difference between 5mb and 20mb bins. And I'm a fan of minimalist OS systems like Archlinux with a slim set of running services. Disk space isn't really the main concern besides as a symbolic measure of cruft. No system is ever going to fill up space by having too many OS/terminal programs installed.

But I also don't come from the nostalgic Unixy C programming world. Just a Unix user. So I may be biased.
> Yes, that's the definition as it certainly "feels" like to many men. And because it's perceived this way, it's mission is hamstrung from the word go.

The problem here is men basing their view of feminism on their own emotional intuition, or at the very least, approaching feminism through the lens of third party anti-feminist activism and web culture rather than engage with feminism or feminist theory firsthand.

Obviously if everything you know about feminism comes from people who hate it, and caricature radical feminists on Twitter and Tumblr, you're not going to trust any criticism the movement has about you. But that's like expecting to get a realistic view of black culture from /pol/.

> TrustedFor: LinkedIn is just such an awful platform that there’s space for a startup to disrupt it by just remaking it. TrustedFor is building “LinkedIn 2.0,” a platform for professional profiles that is centered around recommendations from people that the users have actually worked alongside. The startup is leveraging the YC network pretty heavily to get associated companies on board.

Good luck. I'm happy to see someone trying to get into LinkedIn's business. I've used LinkedIn close to when it started, but it is really getting on my nerves.

If they succeed, that could be really interesting on how to compete with an established company where the network effect is their real edge.

For external parties, yes. However it's the easiest to game for those liable, since you can just mark whatever you want as a "duplicate" and refuse to pay the bounty.

Offering bounties for public disclosures helps remove a lot of perverse incentives.
Yes, I also think this is the simplest way to make it more fair. States can do this unilaterally without pact. That's why I feel the pact is not about fairness.

That too. This "compact" approach bugs me partly because it's a hack to get around the appropriate way of doing this, which they know they can't get enough support to do.

> The Constitution allows states to cast their votes as they see fit.

That may be correct. But the Wikipedia article on this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Intersta...) indicates that the constitutionality is at least in question. I'd really like to see the Supreme Court decide on the constitutionality of this approach before the first election where it would be in force.

Stripe is absolutely a tech company. They're a B2B SAAS company. They provide software that connects e-commerce platforms with actual payment processors.

Uber isn't at taxi company, since it doesn't own or operate taxis. Conceptually it's a platform for connecting independent taxi operators with customers, like Expedia or Craigslist or eBay.

Airbnb isn't a hotel company, since it doesn't own or operate hotels. Conceptually it's a platform for connecting independent hotel operators with customers, like Expedia or Craigslist or eBay.

SpaceX isn't a tech company any more than NASA is. They require science and technology but they sell rides on space ships that they own and operate.
This idea doesn’t seem obvious to me. The biggest states are:

California
Texas
Florida
New York
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Illinois
Georgia
North Carolina
Michigan

Which major industry unites them? Which major industries are not represented? You have tech, finance, automakers, agriculture, tourism, and oil. Maybe not much mining and fishing? Probably something else, but these are very different states.

I believe you that it wasn't easy to tell that it was corruption instead of just incompetence. Here are some facts (not media opinions) to think about:

- Kemp controlled the election and was also a candidate[1]. He refused to recuse himself from his election duties. Why was that?

- Kemp purged more voters than anyone else in history[1]. His office then destroyed the evidence when an investigation was launched[2].

- A judge allowed an external audit of faulty voting systems used in 2018. The Republican Secretary of State objected[4].

1. Can you imagine a lawsuit being fair if the judge is the plaintiff? Or a football game being fair if the quarterback is also a referee? I don't trust any human to have that much honor and impartiality, especially if (in their mind) the lives of many unborn babies and the American way of life are at stake. Wouldn't someone like that think, "The ends justify the means?"

There are a number of tools called “steamworks emulators” that allow one to bypass this outright for many games. These are generally seen as piracy tools, but there’s no good reason you couldn’t use them when you wanted to play your purchased game collection without DRM.

Be a bit careful when experimenting, though. You may run into problems syncing your cloud saves for some games if/when you go back to the official client.

Serious question: I've got a couple of mainland Chinese acquaintances on my social networks, who are real people but also busily spouting Chinese government propaganda.

As the article says, I don't expect them to change their views overnight, but I would like to plant some seeds of doubt. Any suggestions for links to suitable content? (Ideally accessible from behind the GFW, although most can VPN outside it.) For example, the mainland Chinese government has been painting the HK protests as the work of a tiny terrorist minority, so solidly commented footage of 1M+ peaceful protesters should jar their world view a little.

No, that was not the point, why do people keep saying this? The framers were very open about the purpose. They thought that the average voter could not be trusted to choose a president, and that a direct election would result in "tumult and disorder". Instead, the decision would be made by "men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station", who would not be so easily swayed by the "heats and ferments" of the people.

So why, in your view, do the states get to appoint the electors?

You could have a lot of fun with this: narration, 4th wall breaks and funny on-screen graphics could be used for dramatic and comedic effect, interesting and fun characters and situations, but. The laws of RomCom demand that Our Hero end up with either his BFF from uni (who has been crushing on him for years and, possibly but not necessarily, is also super duper hot when dressed up “like a girl” or some bs) or some love triangle thing.

Still, science plus romcom? I’d watch.
Of course its not a tech company. They might want to paint themselves that way, but they operate in the real estate space. Which is why I think they have a severe downside if a recession comes.

Not a great time to be poor, a saver, a licensed professional, or worker of any sort in a developed economy (aside from working at a "tech" company).

> What is the expected level of sexism at the university?

It remains high.

A friend of mine has been told by a potential adviser that he does not accept female students. My wife has consistently been asked whether I will give her permission to work as a postdoc at schools she is applying to (it might harm my career, the horror!). I know several women who have hid pregnancies while on the job market and many women who have hid their marital status when applying for faculty positions. Word gets around quickly when people start asking weird questions about "will you be able to handle the work" when making assumptions about having children. My wife and several other friends have had uncomfortable comments (both positive and negative) written about their physical appearance in student evaluations on their teaching.

This is just off the top of my head.
>sexism victimhood industry

This is your hypothesis, which illustrates my point perfectly. You are not merely refuting the existence of a certain degree of sexual harassment, but you're hypothesizing that a "sexism victimhood industry" exists. The fluff about "hypothesis" and "scientific thinking" is just useful subterfuge.

I didn't see the terms on that Tiger capital round anywhere online (very cursory search tho, so I'm open to being wrong!), but they raised $75 just 2 months ago. I wonder what the terms on that round were and what this acquisition means for the older shareholders.

Seems unlikely to be a bad deal, given that they just raised, so I'm curious why a sale happened so soon after closing a round.
That material you quoted is not actually published SEC policy, nor is it law - it's a corporate policy that was published by TherapeuticsMD, Inc. and distributed to their internal shareholders, and included as part of a 10K filing. It provides a very conservative description of insider trading designed to keep folks at a safe distance from any activity that could be plausibly construed as such. If I were in their shoes, I might use the same definition - but that doesn't mean it's the same as the law. :-)
> Close, but not quite. Rather, Kazakhstan, being sovereign, can make whatever rules it wants and is limited in applying them only by practical constraints, mostly those applied by other sovereigns.

And absent any practical way for them to enforce their rules, no one has any good reason to respect them. Nor does their claim to "sovereignty" give them any kind of moral imperative over the actions of people who do not reside in that country on any philosophical theory of law that I am aware of. So without a practical reason (the threat of force) or a moral imperative (patently non-existent), why should Mozilla comply with their wishes?

If the smallest sovereign state in the world passed a law that said that marriages in the United States were invalid if they were between two people of the same gender, would anyone care? Should they?

Would being continously shorted by Wall Street have anything to do with this? For example, take yet another short position in Tesla and then trash it in the financial press, like this article is doing.

It is curious that since 2013 Tesla sales have jumped from approx 20,000 per year to approx 30,000 per month and yet the stock price hasn't shown an equivalent increase. If I were of a cynical nature I would suspect the rest of the US car industry (what's left of it) of punishing Musk for being sucessfull. Despite this, an increase of 1,889 percent on an initial investment in the IPO in 2010 is not too bad.
> It would be California and New York deciding the fate of all other states.

No, it wouldn't.

California and New York, even voting as a 100% block, don't represent a national majority. Heck, they aren't even the two largest states (#2 is Texas.)

It wouldn't be states representing a relatively small fraction of the population dictating control of the Senate while be overly powerful in choosing the President—but they'd still control the Senate, and hereby have a veto on federal law. So why would they secede?

> You would definitely see a mass succession.

(1) you mean secession, and

(2) if the low-population, mostly low-GDP states secede and thereby sacrifice their disproportionate control over be rest of the country, that they otherwise retain as long as the Senate exists with or without also having extra Presidential vote weighting (the small, high-GDP states have largely signed on to the national popular vote, so aren't likely to secede over it), whose loss is that?
What software is being used to return the results? I tried it and feel the response is very quick. 12 pb is such a huge amount of data.
Netscape Navigator was something like 90% at one point. Netscape fell down to single digits against IE and then started climbing back up. That's the point at which the chart in the article begins. That's what I'm referring to when I say "losing the war". 90% -> 6% is losing.

I'm not like an IE fan - I don't user Windows for anything other than gaming, I just remember what the browser wars were like in the early 2000s.

"Coed", in most contexts, means women. But you really tip your hand when you list "male hangerons". This clearly implies that the other subject is female.
> I assume we'd come out better with a larger value drop on more expensive properties

So in other words, you think that more expensive homes value changes at the same rate as a basic home? Did you look at any data to make that claim or just an educated guess? I'm thinking about getting data from the local property appraiser to check that out.
Even if we invented the perfect form of voting, we witnessed last election that it's easy to change the outcome without hacking a single vote. Targeted content going viral at the right time had the most impact on our election. At this rate, what's the point? People can easily be manipulated by the news and media.

Yes, exactly. There is no reason why a Kickstarter or Patreon model wouldn't work for recorded-media entertainment. Those approaches have already been used for things which are much more labor-intensive than music albums.

Linux supports much more consumer hardware out of the box than it did a decade ago, but if you ever do encounter a driver issue, you'll need to know your way around the terminal and be able to google-fu your way around some forums. The people on this site might be able to get through it without too much pain, but we're in the minority.

Windows definitely supports more hardware out of the box, and even when something doesn't work, it gives you some nice GUIs to manage the drivers. At the end of the day writing drivers sucks, and it's tough to provide support for the virtually endless supply of components and periphs without paying people to write those drivers.
