I've had a family member in the hospital with a failed liver. I just gave a eulogy for an old friend at his local NA meeting room. Yes, you can hurt your liver with Tylenol. In the cases close to me, and in the case described by the au

Of the $64K surreptitiously spent on liver abuse, I suspect that acetaminophen accounted for less than $500.

Mozilla chose to become spyware, so they're booted out of F-Droid. This makes sense.

My heart is a little broken. I held out hope that HP would revive the Digital brand for a no-BS Linux-driven division.

I don't support the law, but I take issue with journalists that allow Tesla to frame the debate as "barred" from selling cars. They could sell cars through franchised dealerships, and they choose not to.

Tesla isn't banned from selling cars in Michigan, they're not allowed to sell manufacturer-direct. No one in Michigan is allowed to sell manufacturer-direct.

It's a great index for log data. Spew your log data into a standard syslog server, while also pumping it into Logstash. Using Elasticsearch as your canonical log storage would be ridiculous.

Back in olden times Linux installation floppies provided the option of installing from an NFS share.

Yeah, if you need a performant file system you use an instance with a lot of local storage or you get out of EC2.

This is what should have existed instead of EBS all along. I'll never consider this to be as reliable as S3, but if I'm going to have a network filesystem I'd rather be dealing with NFS as my abstraction instead of virtualize

VC money has flowed freely because interest rates have been low, so capital had nowhere to go. Interest rates are going up in June, so there is going to be less VC money.

BBC Worldwide is a propaganda service, much like RT, PRESS TV, Deutsche Welle, or Voice of America. None of these are created for a home audience, they are to advance the interests of their host nations globally.

If you're inviting me to pile on.. I'll also point out that carbon is a terrible material for bikes that are getting banged around with locks and bike racks. Minor carbon damage can cause total material failure. Your bike shatters

My guess is that they're targeting middle-aged-monied-nerds-who-don't-ride-bikes, which is a reliable but tiny market. The kind of people who buy recumbents and put them on Craigslist a few years later, unridden: http:/&#x2F

In computerland, technologies trickle up. The PC, the iPhone started out at home, found a niche in business, and then took over. With cycling, innovations trickle down from the top. Starting out with a flat-bar hybrid is not starting at th

I ride helmetless on the road, and I avoid cyclepaths, as I'm far less scared of car drivers pulling something sketchy than I am of rollerblader-dogwalker-strollers pulling something sketchy. I also live in California, where case law h

The problem is that these laws are pushed by the insurance and auto lobbies specifically to discourage cycling. Look behind the big bicycle advocacy organizations in the United States and you'll see serious funding from the American Au

You are guided by faith, not data. You wore a helmet when you crashed, and you lived. You also wore socks and underwear. EDIT: I realize that there is no debate, as I will "never convince (you) they're a bad idea." I'm t
