Such a funny idea. I’d would have loved to see people’s faces when you typed it in.

You fasted for 60 days and the first thing you ate to break your fast was... spinach? You have next-level willpower.

Maybe other people did keto differently than me, but my protein stayed exactly the same. I just switched carbs with fat.

So then you don’t need to eat any carbohydrates at all? I’m really confused by the statement. You’ll never starve your brain by not eating carbs.

What did you finally eat to beak your fast?

> your body closely regulates the level of glucose in your blood. Your brain would literally starve without it.

Is this actually true? Having done the ketogenic diet and bringing carbohydrates down to almost nothing, my brain definitely didn't starve. In fact, running on ketones was amazing.

It’s better that chunk of land stays an empty lot and we all pay more and more for rent. Otherwise we’d be getting exploited!

As a former resident, I hope you can see the tides are shifting rapidly. How long can you keep things that way? Didn’t Seattle elect a socialist? Their policies are the opposite of libertarian.

The heart of their effort is lowering the amount of time for certain appeals. It's not about addressing the real concern (the onerous regulation and red tape that allows everybody to slow down building unless it satisfies their particular social justice issue, whether that's environmental, aesthetic, cost, etc).

Cities and state governments want this regulation. They crave it and create it endlessly because it forces developers to come to them for permission.

If Seattle is not careful they’re going to end up on the same situation as the Bay Area: extremely expensive building projects due to red tape that take forever to complete and only house the rich.

Yeah you can build here, but have you completed all your environment impact studies? And posted notice of tree removal with requisite public comment period? And have you set aside 30% of the units for low income and raised the price on the rest of the the units to make up for it? And are you ready to comply with rent control laws? And are you supplying 2 parking spaces per tenant as required by law? And is your business chartered in CA with requisite taxes and fees? Did your bidding process include businesses owned by historically underrepresented groups? Have you kissed the ring of your local union leaders? Did you make sure your exterior design complies with neighborhood matching decor laws? Oh my god you're not going to cut down that 50-year-old redwood are you??

Wait why aren’t we building more apartments again?

> The overall tax rate on the richest 400 households last year was only 23 percent, meaning that their combined tax payments equaled less than one quarter of their total income. This overall rate was 70 percent in 1950 and 47 percent in 1980.

No it wasn’t. Is there even one historical example of someone paying 70% of their income as tax in 1950? Or was that simply the maximum theoretical income tax rate? That was just the maximum. Nobody paid that so it’s meaningless to compare these two numbers.

This looks like another confirmation-bias article to me.

Exactly. Let’s change the laws.

The bulk of those cases end with them saying “deal with it in your state for now” by declining to hear the case.

Personally I think the system works great but I’ve never been a “too down” style person anyway.

Kind of like how people say “then unhappy amazon employees should simply find another job”?

Factor in an Uber to and fro (included from what I can tell) and you’re probably coming out ahead with Uber.

I am member when I moved to states and had to change my email, it was really annoying but long-distance email costs were really adding up.

I’m not really looking to self host, just sync with an vault File via Dropbox, drive, iCloud etc.

On my opinion no reason to switch if you paid for the licensed version and don’t use safari on Mac.

Definitely consider it over the $5/month subscription to 1Password or if you need shared vaults.

I’m a little put off by the login and service. It’s just one more thing that can be shut down. Especially since iOS and android allow syncing on remote services such as dropbox and iCloud (how it works in 1Password ver 6 and below). There’s really no necessary need for a centralize service.

Create the encrypted vault in your preferred cloud storage service and locally and sync across all devices.

If you compare most companies to one of the best-performing publicly traded company in the history of the world, you'll find they'll get "stomped". Who is the say they wouldn't have lost money and done worse?

If they would have invested in on-demand streaming video, maybe they wouldn't have been "stomped" by Netflix's 60x return since a similar date?

I'd be happy to forgive all of the student loan debt provided we pry it all back from college administrators, who fattened themselves off the federal government loan programs.

> * Gain the trust of people who have a lot of influence. One big benefit of working with such people is that you can learn a lot; another is that if you do good work, they come to respect and trust you — and that can be crucial in getting the best jobs.*

Best advice in that article. Find the people who are clearly the thought leaders and ask them to mentor you.

Mobility but no means, versus means but no mobility.

Most people find later in life that they actually had more means then they realized.

Definitely not Google or Netflix. Netflix they’re automatic and basically the same for Google.

This is why we need to take our constitution seriously folks. It’s not about carving out exceptions to parts of it we don’t like. It’s about saying “Unless you have reasonable suspicious they’re involved in a crime then you can pound sand.”

“If you have nothing to hide...”

No! You don’t have to prove your innocence to the government. The burden of proof is always on them. What’s they collect enough information they can make anyone they want into a criminal. AND THAT’S THE POINT.

What’s more amazing to me is that the young generation sees these central-planning bureaucrats lock down freedom to build (via increased legislation, permitting, etc) and then days “yeah! Send those people to the federal government!”

Good for him. Usual SOP for a pip is to nail their feet to the ground.

I guess if you drop the facade that it’s supposed to be fast and allow people to sit down, eat breakfast and drink coffee it doesn’t sound that bad (even if it’s still not a productive meeting).

There's tons of demand in a lot of hot areas (such as bay area and NY) in the "low end" range of $1m (I know right). Just look at redfin in these areas. Anything reasonably nice under $1m is a hot home.

There's too many things working against the high end: higher property taxes, lower tax incentives (SALT reduction), and higher interest rates.

There's nothing about vaccine-deniers that meets the "clear and present danger" doctrine as established by our courts, especially not enough to nullify the very first sentence in our bill of rights. At least that's my opinion, which maybe makes me an "absolutist" in your terms.

Besides, government censorship is not some esoteric political theory, indeed it's the natural inclination of those in power, and there's a long history of states using it to the detriment of their citizens -- but maybe they just haven't tried "real" censorship?
