Being a bit of a fat ass, I also used to delude myself into thinking that the "fat-lazy" relationship was a myth. But when I started carrying around my 2 year old girl (who weights ~25libs), I noticed how tired and slow I got after some minutes.

Then I realized that I carry around at least 2x that same weight around my waist all day long...

Riding the bus was an awesome and very educational experience combined with a great deal of fun.

If you object to the level of discussion on the subject, why contribute to the problem by throwing around clichés?
Overall crime wasn't that bad, I think that the people that were doing these things were in part doing it simply to get home (the guy with the hose, I'm not sure what the guy that took off with the fireextinguisher was up to, presumably no good and removing a fireextinguisher from a gas station is a pretty serious thing).

On the island there was no increase in crime, in the rest of Ontario no more than otherwise or maybe even less, I have not researched this but it definitely didn't turn into a riot. The gas line was special in that it was isolated and that everybody there had 0 resources. But it still gave me quite a bad vibe.
Potential for a lot of synergies here. Bigger fleet purchases and flexibility to move between daily and hourly rental, giving Avis card holders access to car sharing, the potential to cover more locations, etc.

You did not make any claims about the amount of money invested. You made a blanket claim that closing this loophole would remove the incentive to invest in your own business.

This would translate to investing "someone else's" money too, as that investor or lender would presumably be looking for a return.

More personally: I've co-founded several companies. Never once was tax loopholes or tax levels at all any part of my consideration or the discussions I've had with co-founders or various VC's about whether or not the business was worthwhile. At most taxes would be some line item buried somewhere in a spreadsheet amongst other costs of doing business.

Maybe it affects amount of capital available in the market, but it certainly does not take away the incentive.
Uh, I'm sorry but for many people, they do indeed scare them, or at least severely discourage them.
Hi Dan,
Adding in-game scriptability means you can do some serious in-game world building with a little knowledge of Javascript. I haven't used out-of-game tools like mcedit. I personally like the ability to prototype at the in-game command prompt. E.g...

/js box('35:15',4,9,1)

...creates a 2001 Monolith at the current location. The real power of ScriptCraft though is its ability to load and execute javascript files containing functions, and the ability to easily extend the Drone class. E.g.

// file monolith.js
Drone.extend('monolith',function(){
return this.box('35:15',4,9,1);
});

After loading monolith.js, players can do the following to create 3 monoliths...

/js monolith().right(6).monolith().right(6).monolith()

I've provided a couple of example scripts but it will be interesting to see what players do with this.

Why are we still using english language? It's such an old tool that I think we should transcend from it to a new level.

It took quite long for personal computers to catch up with super-computers of 50s and 60s. Many tools and concepts might have been conceived 60 years ago but they have become easily accessible much more recently. In late 80s and early 90s most people still had to pay a lot of money for tools like C-compiler and UNIX-like systems. Internet became easily accessible only in 90s.

There are some old techs that are just now becoming easily available like transactional memory. We used to need specialized hardware for that, but now many languages have libraries for software trasactional memory. Some are even implementing it as a language feature. This development is likely due to rise of consumer multi-core devices.
Honestly, you are just burning a bunch of done-to-death straw men. (esp. the common "only thing" vs. "most important")
Obviously the effects will be different.

But the first and most important (!) factor for body composition and fatness is still caloric balance. As confirmed by a vast amount of experimental data in real humans under controlled conditions. Which is Jacques Point.
Macronutrients (as well as micronutrients) do have very significant consequences (Leptin, Insulin blabla.). But that won't help at all if caloric intake/output don't match your goal. It seems you read some of that nonsense Gary Taubes & co perpetuate?

I recently wrote a post about this (www.nickmulder.me) I started at 17, raced professionally till last year when I got a kink / blod clot in my legs.

Cycling is a nice distraction from your passion but for me personally, it became a passion that cannabalized my other hobbies. Its quite an addiction, the reason I think is because it is so quantifiable and if your'e a bit of a numbers guy like me it is a perfectly gamified concept (check out strava.com)

Nonetheless, having commuted each day of my young life through wind, rain, snow and having put over 100,000 kilometers on my bike I can attest to the fact that the feeling of accomplishment is unparalleled.

Whatever your reason may be, cycling is an amazing way to channel your energy and strive to reach your goals.

The definition of a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers where the denominator is not 0.
"The most important piece of knowledge I took from 4HB and haven't seen anywhere else is to eat a protein rich breakfast (I do 4 fried eggs) within 30 minutes of waking up. This was very hard for me to keep up with so I have sample data from weeks where I was very consistent and weeks where I didn't even make it out of the shower in 30 minutes. For me, eating that breakfast within 30 minutes of first waking up more than doubles my weekly weight loss. I still don't fully understand why this works, but it does, at least for me. It's one of those things you read and don't believe until you actually do it to yourself and measure often."

Anyone interested on this bit should have a look at Jack Kruse's leptin reset diet (http://www.jackkruse.com/my-leptin-prescription/). His posts are incredibly difficult to read, but as a dentist and neurosurgeon who has lost tons of weight himself, he really seems to know what he is talking about.
It's a blog post.

A finer and more effective mechanism for influencing people has yet to be devised.
If you're not flexible enough, you're not able to do full ROM lifts with proper form.

Once you're flexible enough to actually do the lifts properly, I agree you will see it improving further. But if you're flexible to do the lifts properly, you don't really have a problem.

When I started was not physically able at all to get reasonable depth in my squats before I would either need to stop or curve my back, no matter the weight. I also could hardly bend over while keeping my back firm - it'd be like stretching a violin string along the back of my legs.

A couple of months of stretches from my pysiotherapist got my squats from about 60kg to about 140kg in less than 6 months, after I'd spent the previous 6 months stalled completely because any attempt to go higher led to total form breakdown, and a lot of time before that with abysmally slow progress.

But if I don't consent to the "social contract" called private property rights, then your exercise of the rights that you've claimed that I don't recognize seems equally coercive.

I happen to believe (in agreement with you, I think) that private property rights look more useful (in a benefit-to-humanity way) than the rights that most people who use the term "social contract" think of, but I don't believe there's a clear philosophical difference between the two.

Due to lax accounting, it seems. (There's a more proximate reason, but the story's too good to spoil with a tl;dr).
The book seems to be very comfortable to read on e-ink reader. I'm going to try the preview on the kindle 4.

London has a bicycle sharing scheme where you can rent a bike at one station and drop it off at another.

A side effect of this is in the mornings, when most traffic is from stations towards the city centre, there are no bikes at stations; and in the evenings, when most traffic is from the city centre towards the stations, there are no free return spots near stations. To compensate for this, lorryloads of vans shuttle back and forth in the opposite direction to the commuters.

Obviously, zipcar would follow a different demand pattern to a bike hire scheme, but there's still a risk there'd be large scale patterns in demand - for example in the holiday season all the zipcars might get driven to the airport.

That isn't an insurmountable problem, of course. Presumably Avis deal with this every day. But presumably they don't plan to turn Zipcar into Avis.
Once we get to self driving vehicles, they'll probably be evolve into more like an affordable taxi service.

Precisely. It also means that if you don't have the original cable at hand, you can use any cable to charge it, albeit more slowly.

As a side note, the nexus 7 charger is also special in itself, as it is capable of outputting 2.1 amps of currents, so you also need to use that to achieve the maximum charging speed.

In a lot of ways, that sounds very like the way I manage my dementia. It helps a lot to understand that the hallucinations, as I experience them, are simply a failure of the "normal" ability to simply not pay attention to ordinary signals (things "moving" in the extreme periphery of my visual field either while I'm reading or just doing the regular saccade thing, minor skin irritations being misinterpreted and taking on a life of their own, etc.). As long as I can interpret them at a higher level of thought and classify them, they're merely an annoyance (although, like that one mosquito in the tent with you all night, it can be one hell of an annoyance). Before I understood what was going on, and before I found medication to help me deal with the worst of it, those little unsuppressed signals were absolute hell—both on me, and because they affected my behaviour and beliefs, on the people around me. Unfortunately, my condition is progressive, so there will likely come a time when the meds can no longer help, and I'll find myself back in that world. Not looking forward to that at all, to tell the truth.

That wikipedia article is not enough to back your claim. As you can see, it lists a lot caveats. In my limited knowledge, electricity pricing is quite complicated, and those numbers are probably not even close to what business and industry are actually paying.

Edit: The blog-post is more convincing, but again, are those numbers really comparable? Maybe they are, I don't know enough about the subject, I just find it a little too simple to just compare numbers from different websites without deep knowledge of the topic.
