Re:The Link Between Inflammation and Depression? on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @05:18PM (#18759420)
I was diagnosed with inflammation through having a mold intolerance. Taking cholestyramine and synapsin changed everything. The CFS dissipated and everything seemed to come alive. The main thing that changed though was my mind. Brain fog had gone and a much better mood.
Thanks all
Does anyone know the pros/cons of zig vs nim?
I'm not convinced "Britain" is in the interest of most voters.

Re:Can Mark Zuckerberg Fix Facebook Before It Breaks Democracy? on Tuesday September 11, 2018 @09:10AM (#17959386)
The ultimate flaw with democracy is that it is predicated on the majority being right.
I'm just an internet random, but whenever i load up my diet with such foods, i never fail to lose fat, and a lot of it at that. The problem is sticking to it

Is it that surprising, really? People with money have been stealing shit since forever.
Sounds like a shitstorm
When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain. Every day brings new opportunities - take each one as they come. Believe that anything is possible, even if improbable. Give a fuck, but not too much.
So no subs that are popular are based on fact?

Quite literally the only "FB" on the internet worth bothering with. The guy is a genius.
So if someone loses out on a position because of their gender or race (due to quotas) then isn't that indistinguishable from prejudice?

I've read that an African American woman laid claim to the invention of both terminator and matrix and claimed that the former was a prequal to the latter. Which makes a lot of sense.
Re:Why I deleted my Facebook account on Friday July 07, 2017 @05:09AM (#14717081)
I read somewhere that Facebook actually buys more personal data than collects. Now that's a scary thought.
I dunno, but the infitity% return is awesome.

Chin up! Here are some tips:

* Reframe the task as a game. A crime to solve if you like.

* See it as a series of black boxes that you keep subdividing (You are working top-down right?)

* Keep a [cork|black|white]board like they do in the movies with all the suspects and details of the case, with the string linking them (Do this digitally if you like)

* It's more important to know the I/O of the boxes/components than how they work, at least initially

* Be transparent with your employer about the difficulty. They know it's a mess - that's why you're there.

Good luck!

My understanding was that non-encrypted messages were split across multiple countries/jurisdictions,, making it impractical (not impossible) to snoop.

We share a similar mindset. I actually get a kick working through crappy code as I find reverse-engineering quite exciting, in a kind of "order from chaos" way. Take something crap, make it better, learn something and get paid for it. Ideal!
Re:Pistol sights on Wednesday June 14, 2017 @04:35AM (#14551402)
Once, when visiting the states, i had the opportunity to take such a course and it did change my opinion (very anti before course). I got a buzz out of it and am thoroughly glad i did it. That being said, the reality is that it ultimately relies on the owner being of sound mind at all times, which is not guaranteed. So whilst i agree that it really is a good thing to do and would even recommend it, i'm glad i live in a society where 99.9% of the time I don't need to worry about getting shot because the other person is having a bad day.
Re:The Old Are Eating the Young on Wednesday June 14, 2017 @04:22AM (#14551361)
Could this be a reflection of our monetary system (the fact that we cannot possibly repay all the money because there is interest that is owed to the lenders, and where does that extra interest come from? The lenders!)? This means we need more people to earn more money to pay it back ad nauseum leading to an exponential problem? I'm not an economic expert but believe the basis of the above is rooted in reality but happy to learn more if someone can correct me!
