Translation: I currently have three keys acting up. It's a pain in the ass and as much as I've loved Apple products for almost 30 years, I'm ready to give them the old heave ho.

Honestly? Did literally and unfortunately have a baby, or are you in the habit of dishonesty and needed to clarify your intent to tell the truth?

I would argue that Bitcoin in this case isn't an investment or speculation. It's insurance.

These wacky boys think their Bitcoin will save them someday. Whether they foresee a societal meltdown or government breaking down their door and seizing assets, they're living in fear. This wacky company is has found the perfect message and the perfect product for the perfect market.

You're comparing things that have no relation.

This is such propaganda. Not even worth discussing. I mourn the loss of factual journalism and critical thought.

mkempt is right. There's no premium shipping cost vs any other FedEx/UPS destination.

Yet another clueless astroturfer who alters the facts to fit your own narrative. Go back to your PR boss and tell them we're not buying your "messaging".

This story total propaganda and a load of horse manure.

They are not green. They are not convenient. And cityfolk hate them. Go back to LA bros.

I live in a rural area in the lower 48 and USPS won't deliver here. We have to go to a physical post office and stand in lame lines to get packages. We also have to pay an annual fee for the PO Box, and sometimes there are waiting lists.

FedEx and UPS happily deliver to my front door, 25 miles and down a long dirt road from the nearest town.

There is a great deal of societal value in empowering minority communities. And creating a diverse campus is a major starting point to developing a diverse and prosperous community.

We know from hard data that students from some communities are at an inherent disadvantage in the education system. From family environments to poverty to the mental strain of everyday racism to school funding to parental involvement, some students are at a severe disadvantage. Even when of equal intelligence, maturity and potential.

What universities do is account for these disadvantages in the mix. Is the system perfect? No. But it's good for our collective society, even if a few overachievers have to settle for Yale.

Either she's hoping that a short digital trail will limit the damage this event will have on any political ambitions, or this event has caused such as rift between her and Zuck that he's intentionally keeping her out of the spotlight.

If the latter, expect her "resignation" for "family reasons" in about 60-90 days.

With GDPR the opt-in checkbox will have to be unchecked.

Plus, back in the 40s-60s, there were boarding houses in big cities for single women. Not an unusual or experimental concept at all.

First world problems.

The shift has been taking hold for about a decade. Educators have been teaching these students these tactics. No surprise they're being used against them.

The prof should sue the students for harassment and tortuous interference. The student's are preventing the prof from doing her job and fulfilling her duties to the University.

School is maybe 3-4 periods of "cognitive load" with one period of PE and another that's something more fun, plus lunch, plus breaks. I'm not opposed to giving the kid quiet time each night, but he can finish his homework and do his chores beforehand.

The letter from the kid is full of manipulations. "Seven straight houses of cognitive exercises"? Is that supposed to be code for SCHOOL?

Sorry, maybe the parents are putting too much stress on him for the test, but otherwise do your chores and homework before you play video games (which is what he really wants the hour for).

There may be evidence that meditation has significant benefits for some people, but there is also evidence it can cause anxiety and reactivate PTSD in others.

But nothing I saw seemed to claim you could become a millionaire by participating in the affiliate program.

And in reality, if you have a good product and decent marketing skills you could use Shopify to build an online store and easily become a millionaire. It's not a stretch, IF you have a good product and decent marketing skills.

This is what I read between the lines:

An NSA spook was working on his home laptop and playing around with some special NSA malware.

Kaspersky AV detected it - AS IT SHOULD - based on heuristic or behavior-based technology that just about every modern AV has.

The data was sent back to Kaspersky servers. This is also how everyone else does it, because this is how A/V companies create signatures that are pushed out to all other people who use Kaspersky so they can be protected against malware that could quickly go viral.

Israelis were poking around KAV servers and found the malware, and told the US Gov.

Those are the facts, right? Everything else is speculation, no? Did I miss something that proves the thesis of the story and the government accusations?

Thanks for posting the link. I just read the first several pages, and I disagree with your conclusion.

This was more than a simple idea or patent. It was developed by someone with extensive experience in a vertical industry. Google actually paid to contract with him to develop a proof-of-concept, with the idea if the tech panned out and had market viability, they'd take it to market with him.

Google doesn't hire patent trolls or rely on their expertise in developing products.

The lawsuit is full of hyperbole (which hurts it in IMHO), but the underlying claim looks pretty believable.

I'm sure there are variations. But the idea of a supertaster is that tastes are more pronounced. So strong/acidic foods can be off-putting. But it's still not the "cause" for not liking a food, more of a degree.

If the facts bear out, even if what Google allegedly did was legal, it's going to be a terrible thing for Google. No one with any interesting tech will ever want to share info ever again.

Sigh. Being a supertaster isn't a scientific explanation for not liking wine. It just means if you don't like wine you are more likely to dislike it a lot.

By the definition, I am a supertaster. I know this because I once had a virus that made the papillae on my tongue swell and I couldn't eat anything for a week. My doctors all exclaimed how many "taste buds" I had and I must taste foods very strongly. I do - I rarely need seasonings - even salt and pepper - or heavy sauces. I eat pretty simple and enjoy (or despise) flavors.

But I love wine and many other strong/sour/acidic/fermented foods. Love dark chocolate. Lemons. Bitter green teas. I suppose I would love these as a medium or light taster too.

On the other hand, I hate coffee, sauerkraut, blue cheese and some other strong foods. I suppose I would hate these as a medium or light taster too. Just maybe not as fervently.

Unrelated. There's a growing body of science backing up the idea that antibiotics are very often way over-prescribed, and that over-prescribing does NOT prevent bacterial resistance.

You might, but the research is starting to become more and more clear that the "magic moment" is when you feel better.

We know that moment. At least, I do. When you're not really sick anymore but you're still recovering from the weakness left in the wake.

I have a group of doctors for an advanced immune system issue and this has been there advice for about four years. When I need antibiotics, we have top use the minimum dosage possible. So they tell me to stop when I feel better. And I do. I have bottles of half-full antibiotics in the bathroom drawer because of it.

My experience is only anecdotal, but I've never had to start over.

There's no comparison to Juicero. It's not beautifully-designed-but-has-no-value-prop brick. It's extremely useful, albeit for a pretty small market given its price point.

Stop victim shaming. When you're trying to make payroll for people you care about you'll put up with a lot.

It's not so easy to make principled stands when people are depending on you.

Unless you have data backing up your assertions, you're comments are from the armchair too.
