If I don't want to share my surveillance footage with authorities, could this possibly count as me aiding and abetting the criminal?

“Confidential computing focuses on securing data in use. Current approaches to securing data often address data at rest (storage) and in transit (network), but encrypting data in use is possibly the most challenging step to providing a fully encrypted lifecycle for sensitive data,” the Linux Foundation said today in a joint statement."

I hope their platform incorporates, or at least addresses, the concept of fully homomorphic encryption. In my mind this would be the gold standard for implementing such a "fully encrypted lifecycle".

Say watt??

Livestock pollutes far more. We can take direct action against it by not buying products made from animals and their secretions.

Glancing quickly at the headline, "Even female Uber drivers get paid less", one may get the impression that women drivers are discriminated against. The article could have gone with "Even female Uber drivers earn less than male drivers", but that phrase doesn't carry the same biting edge, does it..

Lovely!! Dr. Doug Lisle sure knows how to present his argument. I regularly listen to his podcasts on Dr. McDougall's Youtube page (you too?)

In short, I appreciate how Dr. Lisle breaks down what appears to be a complex behavior into a rather simple set of smaller responses to internal anxieties ("carb bad", can't have have potatoes or some nonsense like that) or stimuli which cynically hijack our mind's response to tastes (like the so-called "flavor bursts" that food scientists work to re-create in the mouths of people eating their snacks).

I read the article and agree with their argument that Americans are over-prescribed and over-treated relative to their ailments. However, I did not see a solution to this which would make a significant impact. I've also read about the Ornish study, which describes the results from the only diet known to prevent and revert heart disease. It's a shame that the notion of a low-fat, whole-plant-based diet is only now starting to get noticed in the media, but I am grateful to see it happening. Drs. John McDougall, Neal Barnard, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, Pamela Popper and others are doing incredible work, and I am glad to see more people adopting their approach.

I reboot my computer after apt-get dist-upgrading, reboot, and get a blank screen responsive only to Magic Sysreq[1] (and probably SSH). It's the video driver issue: no nvidia module is available for loading. I think that any time apt-get installs a new kernel, it needs to re-install the nvidia drivers. The solution I've found (so far) is to manually issue apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-375 after any apt-get dist-upgrade has updated the Linux kernel.

Anyway. It's 2017. Why am I still dealing with this shit?

Get your FaceHugger units while they're hot.

That's great that you eliminated processed food. Try to get your total cholesterol under 150. This page[1] mentions the Framingham Study[2], which showed that "only patients with cholesterol levels of less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) achieve the lowest coronary artery disease risk. In the first 50 years of the Framingham study, only five subjects with cholesterol levels of less than 150 mg/dl developed coronary artery disease. Rural residents in the developing areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America typically have total-cholesterol levels of about 125-140, and they do not develop coronary artery disease."

If you want to prevent heart disease, stop eating saturted fat and cholesterol and stick with a low-fat whole-plant-based diet. This knowledge is not new; this stuff has been known for almost a hundred years now, yet we're still spending money dancing around the fact that eating animals and their byproducts leads to heart disease.

Oh, you mean the International scientific community's attempt to redefine the Kilogram? It's called the "dildo" but they are having trouble all agreeing on the proper pronunciation. So for now they're continuing to measure up against this dildo-shaped hunk of alloy that apparently gains weight over the years and every so often has to be rubbed off ceremoniously by a skilled handler with a strap of leather dipped in alcohol.

Hey that was me up there with the bulldozer suggestion :) Thanks for letting me know it made others laugh!
