Why stop at plants? If someone chooses to take whatever substance it's no one else's business (unless others have to pay for the medical treatment afterwards... but that is easily solved by NOT making others pay). The actually dangerous drugs - the ones (SSRIs, notably) which have suicide as a side effect, sometimes resulting in people going on murderous rampages - are quite legal and widely prescribed. Go figure.
After trial and error, I pour 1/5th of a capsule into a glass of water.

It puts me to sleep within 45 ~ 60 minutes, pretty much without fail.

But then my deep sleep is still far too low.
We need an America-specific corollary to Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by an attempt to avoid liability in a maximally litigious society."

So many of these disturbing developments, that people are quick to attribute to an intentional campaign to desensitize people to government surveillance, are really caused by people trying to CYA. That doesn't make them OK, not by a long shot, but if you misunderstand their causes you're not going to get anywhere in pushing back against them.
Why isn't recycling a reasonable solution?
The position of the font's author looks very reasonable to me (from the article):

Good point! I always sleep with a window in the room at least a bit open, for air flow.

And the deep sleep issues are constant across home, hotel rooms, etc.
Nah, that’s not the problem. That’s just something you made up because you don’t know what you’re talking about. Brands want to have it such that brick and mortar retailers can still exist, so they create pricing models that allow for that additional discount.

3P sellers take advantage of this. They add no value, only take. It hurts brands, manufacturers, retailers and even consumers to a large degree. Now it’s even starting to hurt Amazon, which is why they are finally getting serious about it.

I personally can’t wait for the Amazon scamming business to dry up. I’ve even been to a few of the conferences and lord all mighty it’s really pretty sad what people think is a business these days.

"when we go to school (which is modeled on factories)"

I thought they were modeled on prisons.
My school district started giving out a Chromebook to each kid, and has these things locked down pretty tight. Kids are forbidden from installing their own software. (We tried installing Python / Jupyter). They also hired a surveillance company, maybe the one mentioned in the article.

They conducted a trial run of the surveillance service at one middle school for a couple months, whereupon they claimed that it prevented two suicides. A suicide per month in a single middle school isn't remotely plausible.

Now of course the kids know about the surveillance. It was announced in the newspaper. But already for years, parents have already been teaching our kids about dealing with the internet: Don't write anything that you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the New York Times. Don't admit to being a member of a hated group. Don't criticize governments that are capable of carrying out censorship beyond their borders. Assume that all "private" information will be stolen or sold.

My kids have told me that every kid at school has figured out how to install a VPN on their cellphone, so they can bypass the content blockers. They know that the VPNs themselves aren't secure. They don't use the Chromebooks except to look up school assignments (which are themselves surveilled via anti-plagiarism service).

Unfortunately the short term desire for entertainment, and to be part of a community, outweighs their long term concerns for security and privacy. But at least from the standpoint of being informed, they're quite well informed.
The difference is that, if Toyota tracked your car usage after purchase and possessed the ability to match patterns of behaviour with crimes (wow, just after this bank was robbed that car zoomed northwards at high speed), they too would be held accountable.

Facebook/Apple/Instagram capture insane amounts of data from their users in exchange for various services. Those services are being used for human trafficking. It behooves these companies to regulate these practices.
The acceleration of this global trend in recent years can reasonably be attributed to the actions of one person.
You are arguing a strawman. I never suggested the behaviour you are describing is legitimate either.
Fortunately, UDP will eventually stop being filterable on a functional network, once HTTP/3 becomes widely used. At that point, I'd expect the next round of VPNs to look like HTTP/3 traffic.
incentive structures and monitoring don't influence people's behavior?
They could definitely do that. They could also mandate the use of "national security certificates".

So... when was the last time this supposedly happened? Because I can't think of even a single time in human history where there has been "a radical breakdown of social order... a new society is rebuilt, and all the debts from the previous society is canceled."
All that as well as the great GPS capability. I have the Fitbit Ionic and start the Walk exercise when bushwalking ( hiking). It produces very accurate track logs that I can use for mapping when I return. It does consume more battery but far less than high rate logging on the phone

Welcome to the 21st century where you can have valid reasons but face the endless threat of bad press and litigation for giving them. Almost every manager and CEO I know is afraid to give constructive feedback in employee reviews. The fact that they came up with some bs explanation with holes isn’t news to me. Imagine what the press would be if they said “I told them to do their f’n job 5x and they didn’t”
Some ideas based on my own personal experience:

* Lose the TV (it opens up space, saves electricity and you can put plants in its place)

* Improve and optimize your living. Eg adding a hook somewhere to hang stuff. Make an economic shower caddy. Install accessible power points.

* Cook. For a tired mind, cooking and cleaning afterwards is very soothing.
eh, it's just copy-on-write - an ancient OS technique. You can call it functional if you like but the idea is old and has been applied very generally for decades.

I'm really curious about the following:

We talk about Medicare, Healthcare (in general) constantly.

I have built quite a few hospitals, healthcare software, and commissioned several hospitals as well. My brother is the head of the VA for the entire state of Alaska.

Healthcare is a wedge issue every single election cycle.

Yet here we are. Again talking about "medicare for all" (again) and ironically enough, we seem (IMO) to be addressing the symptom and never the cause.

Costs are out of control across the board - and rather than addressing insurance and pharma (actually addressing, not lip service to injustice) - we try to apply a bandaid via medical subsidies.

I find it really ironic that 'Healthcare' in the united states is a malignant tumor which keeps metastasizing as the decades progress.

> The crime of human trafficking, on the other hand, cannot be solved this way. You don't solve the issue by removing the posts and links, because you will just get rid of a component of the crime that advertises the "root crime" behind it. And the "root crime", in this scenario, is not nearly as easy to solve and track down.

You can theoretically 'solve' it by forwarding those posts and links to the police, after which you can, in the moral view of a lot of people, wash your hands of it. That the police are complicit in a lot of this behaviour is... Well, we washed our hands of it!

The difference between these two cases is that in the case of pirated movies, there's are these organizations called 'publishers' who will shut you down, take your house, and shoot your dog, if you don't remove links to them. There's no advocacy organization for victims of human trafficking that has remotely as much power.
> Wasn’t the server load for ssl something like 3-5%?

Depends on the packets per second being handled. I’ve pegged a CPU core easily doing encryption just a bit over a decade ago due to high data rate. If you’re pushing >500Mb/sec without CPU accelerated encryption (or NIC offloading) it puts a pretty hefty strain on resources.
I use a jump box. RDP to the box and access everything else from there.
It's interesting, but I agree not easy on human eyes. I think plain old text in a clear font, with an OCR reader than can lift URL's out of any text, would be nearly as effective and gain traction quicker. Feel free to rebut me!
Bought a switch on Amazon when they launched. Someone sent me an Australian version.

You contradict yourself in your linked comment. Add-on install will not be locked to addons.mozilla.org. You can continue to use automatic signing and distribute through whatever channels you like, just as the comment you're replying to states.
I'm surprised commenters here seem to be siding with management when:

* They only bought the site about a year ago.

* They've replaced a number of women/minority executives with white, male, nepotism hires.

* The editorial mandate to "stick to sports" violates the CBA with the GMG Union, which prohibits the owners from having editorial say.

* There have been numerous complaints from both writers and commenters on the site about the decline in the quality of the content since the takeover.

* About a week ago, obnoxious, auto-playing, with-sound video ads starting covering every article, and the comments in every section complained about them. The writers made a post asking for feedback, which management removed and only then said "stick to sports".

I mean really, it just takes a quick look at the comment section of any article to see how mad the commenters have been about this issue. Oh wait, management removed the comments on Deadspin (and no other kinja site). They also drove away some of the most popular writers on the site, like Drew Magary, and that's where the complaints about the decline in quality come from. The whole thing has just been incompetent mismanagement for a long time, and as a long-time reader, has been one of the biggest bummers since Joystiq was shuttered.
Below are a few relevant figures. I see the claim repeated often that foreign companies can't operate in China. The sales figures of American companies paint a different picture.

Company - Sales in China - Share in China
Apple $44.8 billion 19.6%
Intel $14.8 billion 23.6%
Qualcomm $14.6 billion 65.4%
Boeing $11.9 billion 12.8%
Micron $10.4 billion 51.1%
Broadcom $9.4 billion 53.7%

The list goes on. S&P 500 firms had nearly $160 billion in sales in China in 2018.

On the beta testers front I think it's not impossible to get a dozen or more full time devs at a major bank I work at to commit to downloading and using it and giving feedback - can you indicate what might be useful ?
Of course it's possible to distinguish being against the CCP and being against China! But it's equally as naive and disingenuous to claim that none of the anti-China attitudes in the US are rooted in xenophobia. You can't seriously believe this? The country has discrimination issues with Asian-American _citizens_ for goodness' sake.

have gotten some non popular recommendations as well, and they made me happy. and the recommendation engine seems to be nice now.

what messes up the recommendations for me is the mobile app which seems to believe i am watching those videos that autoplay when i am just scrolling by. so annoying to have to remove them from my history in order to get relevant recommendations.

other than that, it's all now. i seldom go to trending nowadays.
This is hilarious, because this is the exact album I'm listening to right now (I've probably listened to it over 100 times...). Youtube's algorithm, for all the evils it does radicalizing people, has led me down a deep music rabbit hole and completely transformed my taste in music. I suspect that there are a lot of other listeners out there like me that have had the same experience.
I could, but printing a QR tag is even faster and cheaper, and there are no real benefits to the NFC in this case.
Basically I did exactly this :) I created a tool that helps you deploy your static (and hybrid!) app, with a few more features like creating environments, specifying remote configuration and staged rollouts. It took me a year part time, all by myself. Check it out here: https://www.stormkit.io. Basically, you gotta have a nice understanding of the cloud providers, some network knowledge, a lot of backend knowledge and a descent frontend knowledge if you want to compete with their awesome UX :) - Obviously, Netlify has a team behind it, but despite that I believe I did a good job.
Their story highlights the importance of a far greater influence upon a market than debt: population growth. Negative population growth is bad.
I see you replying to these threads sometimes, and you usually say "we" did thing. Are these decisions actually being made by a team and you the (possibly self selected) community lead? Or are you just saying "we" as in "I, someone whose actions represent the desires of the mod team, did thing"? Just curious, I've never had a problem with your changes.
What's the credit score of the U.S. government? 700s? 600s? 500s? 400s? People won't understand the seriousness of the situation if it isn't boiled down. There needs to be a simple credit score of the US government and people can compare if they're better.
Luckily it was well cooked. Now it's dry. Without moisture it will not grow mold, etc.

This doesn't say anything interesting about the composition of the burger, just a misunderstanding of food science and biology.

This is not in fact debatable.
I thought he was killed by a collapsing serac, I'm not even sure how the idea got into my head.
I think the disingenuous and dismissive labels more aptly apply to you for not addressing any of my specific points and your totally absurd suggestion that my reasoning can "justify anything USG or state governments do, under a theory that citizens have assented to a contract with such restrictions by being physically present"... and you're attacking me as disingenuous?

The combination of your low effort dismissal and attacks on my intellectual honesty makes me think this conversation is not worth the effort. Have a nice day.
While I absolutely agree that this needs to be crackef and every perpetrator personally punished, let's not forget that this is undercover also happening in other countries. Blood farms in India (look it up, horrifying), brick kilns in Pakistan where entire families are enslaved for generations, labour and disappearance camps in China and many forms of illegal slavery even in Europe, America, Australia, ...

Romanians in slave-like conditions on Italian farms, African refugees and economic migrants enslaved in North Africa and Spain, Mexicans and trafficked people in slave conditions across the US, forced prostitution in America, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Canada, ... - of locals and foreigners alike. I've heard thanks to the refugee influx you can get a prostitute in Athens for 10€. And all this nightmare is not even counting all the 'arranged marriages' between 12 year old girls and 62 year old 'husbands'.

This is a human problem, and one that far too few resources are spent on. Child abuse gets much attention but factually still too few resources (ask the 9 year old Filipina prostituting herself on Skype - although probably she's still better off than her neighbour trafficked to Thailand). But beyond this, even in what you would consider the most developed countries, you still find slaves. Because neighbours don't notice or care. Because the police is understaffed or doesn't care. Because even when they are saved there are no resources to truly save them.

We all close our eyes and ignore these crimes when they happen in broad daylight. If you are anywhere in a big city ANYWHERE there's a good chance you're not far from a slave. We ignore the rampant poverty that leads to all this. We crack down on 'illegal immigrants' and make legal immigration all but impossible - and push the desperate into the hands of real criminals that then abuse them, e.g. by stuffing them in a sealed container in which they freeze and suffocate to death on their way to their enslavement in the UK.

'Frre the Slaves' estimates that, in absolute numbers, there are more slaves today in the world than at any point in history.

Don't ask me how to resolve this. I just know that somehow we are all complicit.
>Chinese government has total almost total control over Chinese apps

I agree. But watch what happens when you post something bad about an influential person on an American app. The feds pay attention to you more and lean harder on you. The end outcome is the same.

>Ban foreign content

How can we live in a world where it's ok for any government to decide what you can and can't see
People still murdered and committed adultery and broke the Sabbath even after they'd been told that an omniscient being would definitely know and punish them. I think that was the poster's point, anyway.
I don't hate Comic Sans, just sort of dislike it intensely. And yes I do need a new hobby.
CAs don't have the private keys to the certificates they sign, so this doesn't compromise issued certs.

The ability for CAs to issue extra certs to governments to enable MITM has been reduced a lot by CAA and HPKP.
sure, but visiting any website or launching any app has those vulnerabilities too, except they're many times more complicated. even if it's a legit site, they could have been hacked, best to just not touch external data ever if that's your threat model.
"And we make up the difference with targeted spending cuts, new taxes on giant corporations and the richest 1% of Americans, and by cracking down on tax evasion and fraud. Not one penny in middle-class tax increases."

Yeah, sure. The increased tax on corporations will come out of paychecks. Just like Social Security does.

And the "middle class" will be defined as "people not earning more than minimum wage".

We saw these tax promises before. Never worked as advertised.

(And as for the government-provided medicine, one would do well by heeding the old Soviet maxim: "You can have free treatment - if you don't care about the outcome.")
