That's a great idea. Where do you get the hosts file entries from? If only APK would distribute the simple hosts file without extra software.

You post publicly on both Google+ and the LKML. Some of your posts get a lot of attention on G+ like naming the next version 3.20 or 4.0, which is a different audience than the Linux Kernel mailing list.
What do you like and dislike about communicating on either platform, Google+ or the LKML? How do you feel about their respective audiences? Do you enjoy the tools you use to participate in public discussions on Google+ and the LKML?

Except the runner who has knee problems just starts riding bikes instead. The people spending $130k on knee replacements are overweight and put too much pressure on their joints.
If you have joint/tendon pain when you exercise, you're doing it wrong.

Processed foods have been shown to be less nutritious and healthy. Man has yet to improve on nature in this area.
Well, you can use nature to naturally process foods, such as fermenting them. What did people eat before refrigeration? Dried and fermented meats and vegetables.
How do you keep cabbage good all winter long? Make sauerkraut. Cucumbers? Pickles. Grapes? Wine. Etc.

NHS To Give Volunteers "Synthetic Blood" Made In a Laboratory Within Two Years 57
schwit1 writes: The NHS plans to test artificial blood made from human stem cells in patients and hopes to start transfusing people with artificial blood by 2017. The trials will take place in Cambridge and If successful could lead to the mass production of artificial blood. The Independent reports: "A long-awaited clinical trial of artificial red blood cells will occur before 2017, NHS scientists said. The blood is made from stem cells extracted from either the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies or the blood of adult donors. The trial, thought to be a world first, will involve small transfusions of a few teaspoons of synthetic blood to test for any adverse reactions. It will allow scientists to study the time the manufactured red blood cells can survive within human recipients. Eventually, it is hoped that the NHS will be able to make unlimited quantities of red blood cells for emergency transfusions."

Untethered Miniature Origami Robot That Self-Folds, Walks, Swims, and Degrades 27
jan_jes writes: MIT researchers demonstrated an untethered miniature origami robot that self-folds, walks, swims, and degrades at ICRA 2015 in Seattle. A miniature robotic device that can fold-up on the spot, accomplish tasks, and disappear by degradation into the environment promises a range of medical applications but has so far been a challenge in engineering. This work presents a sheet that can self-fold into a functional 3D robot,actuate immediately for untethered walking and swimming, and subsequently dissolve in liquid. Further, the robot is capable of conducting basic tasks and behaviors, including swimming, delivering/carrying blocks, climbing a slope, and digging. The developed models include an acetone-degradable version, which allows the entire robot's body to vanish in a liquid. Thus this experimentally demonstrate the complete life cycle of this robot: self-folding,actuation, and degrading.

Gravity is the same. But to stay "west" (which is west of the pole) means you must travel in a circle, otherwise you drift south (or north at the south pole) with each straight line step.

I'm curios if webmasters are treating IE the opposite relative to the once-dominance of IE6.
Maybe now all the "if IE" conditionals result in a purposely shitty experience, instead of targeting quirks in specific versions.

Yes, you should remove the CNNIC CA cert (and many others) if you have admin/root over the devices you control. If not, choose a browser that maintains it's own CAs.

Missing the point. Of course end users don't care. But if the browsers supported DANE and performed their own DNSSEC lookups if the local resolver can't, then DANE could work.
If the destination site doesn't publish their certs and/or designated CAs in DNS, then the old "trust all built-in CAs" will still apply.
