It also creates an unnecessary attack surface against core infrastructure.

That RO system is overpriced and undersized (3 gph). Buy better kits from wholesalers that use standard parts (50-200 gph) for the same price. (200 gph can be tankless and generate product water on-demand) http://www.wateranywhere.com/index.php?cPath=23_411

Cool.

The Stanford paper microscopes are the cheap, analog alternative that use just a glass bead. For electronics, it makes sense to eliminate lenses and use physics to get a simpler microscope.

Exercise. Sleep. Diet. Work only 8 hours.

Yes and without human drivers, much of the car is vestigial. Without human occupants, further parts can be eliminated.

Banning all FFs sounds like a worthy objective overall but it seems like bikeshedding to ban small ICEs yet trains, tractor trailers, farm and mining equipment, jet aircraft and industrial sources receive little regulation. Instead, the average person is taxed, penalized, inconvenienced and regulated for the tiny amount of pollution they produce in comparison to greater polluters.

Good GPS receivers allowed changes to datums. Furthermore, there is a transformation possible between ellipsoids if you have their exact parameters.

It's 2017. If on-field only electronic communication systems were legal in baseball, why couldn't pitchers and catchers have some sort of encrypted "Google Glass"-like head-mounted display and chording glove-button system?

Or stop eating processed foods stuffed with preservatives.

Also, stop dining out for the most part: such food is heavy in calories (ie unhealthy oils and cream), salt, sugar and carbs.

Fix your own food from sources you trust, eliminating many problems.

The Linux kernel is a dumping-ground, kitchen-drain of all features (20 megaLoC with no end in sight) because of their inability to isolate concerns and provide fast IPC.

Here's a very small violin. Landlords can cry to FEMA.

Having supported enterprise laser printers at scale:

The low-end printers don't usually have repair parts and their operating costs are higher because their toner cartridges are small and relatively expensive.

This in contrast to the very large and initially-expensive laser printers: plenty of repair parts, fewer failures and cost per page is lower.

If you want the lowest TCO printer, the safest bet is a mid-high end model. For personal use, buy a used flagship laser printer 2-3 generations old.

People buy inkjet printers because their initial acquisition costs are low but they don't think about amortized cost per page.

Sodium only is insufficient and bad advice because absorption and retention of most alkali metals is competitive. A balance of potassium, sodium, calcium and traces of magnesium are essential. Playing Russia roulette with a heart-attack or an intestinal blockage is unnecessary.

Fasting done well could be beneficial, but done ad-hoc risks gallstones, muscle damage and heart arrhythmias from insufficient alkali metals.

Robots aren't capable of doing everything people can do yet, but as they become more capable, what and how are displaced unskilled workers supposed to do if they can't get any job at all? Starve to death under a bridge? Not everyone can handle social or intellectual labor. I think this is why UBI is essential: prevent riots and meet people's basic needs so they're not pennyless and sleeping rough.

How about a nice game of chess?

Another, less chilling effects way would be to have an Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) or CE for software. Any government, company or customer could then have that as a requirement.

DOCSIS modems are a standard, but cable companies often get to manage them with their firmware and/or settings.

Dumbish DOCSIS cable and dumb DSL modems exist, they're just not default because most people aren't technically-literate enough to deploy them. However, cable ISPs often can update the firmware of DOCSIS modems, so who know what potential is there for backdoors, malware, NSA diodeing and weak security. DSL modem management may vary.

If it had no sodium, then it would be good. Most people already have way too much sodium in their diets.

For potassium, there's salt substitutes like No Salt. Calcium and traces of magnesium are needed too. Adding any more sodium is horrible idea because of the increased competition for adsorption and the risks (ie hypertension and fluid retention (swelling)) of adding more table salt.

Technical people, myself included, tend to be too arrogant, negative and black-white thinking. I don't associate with anyone whom dumps their emotional/work politics garbage or badmouths things/people/employers/etc.

Add some motherfucking positivity! :)

Get a spray bottle of anything at the dollar store, dump out and fill with water. Also, box fans are like $20.

You're making an invalid, hasty generalization from ancedotal evidence. A ground-floor apartment or shaded house is not the same thing as a flat-roofed, unshaded, uninsulated, top floor apartment.

Yup. Many restaurant owners: penny-wise, pound-foolish

It was 106 ℉ today in Palo Alto. Maybe you wait until it's 121?

I've lived in California for almost 40 years. The house I grew up in south San Jose had a small, in-wall air conditioner because it was needed about 5 weeks out of the year. It's true most houses on the peninsula didn't have air conditioners originally, but many of them do now (probably more affordability than climate change).

It was 106 ℉ in Palo Alto today, and over 75 ℉ in the middle of the night.

That would be some serious activation DRM for pressing juice, although it does defend their (failed) business model.
