I've only met one transgender person. She was basically a dude wearing lipstick and high heeled boots. She was really nice, and I wanted to use her preferred pronouns, but it's really difficult to do so.

I take issue with being held to a standard of somehow needing to "know" that ahead of time, and respect it, with no effort on the part of the woman in question.

I'd like to postulate that it's not just ahead of time. It's really hard to change your usage of he to she or him to her, when you are visually presented with a man. The brain doesn't easily change, so don't get mad when it doesn't change as fast as you want.

Avocado for Breakfast

Large Kale Salad for Lunch

Medium Kale Salad + meat for dinner

High Fiber small tortilla (8net carb) + peanut butter for desert.

Coffee liberally spread out over the morning to mid-afternoon (cream+splenda)

I take diabetes medication (Janumet XR- Slow release Metformin based medication).

I consume approx 40 net carbohydrates a day, and 2000 total calories a day. My fitbit says I get 500-700 calories of exercise a day.

I've lowered my HbA1C from 9.3 in december to 5.0 in March. I've lost 37lbs since december.

AWS instance is easily traced back to you.

Define "easily" as used in this context. Easy is a product of whom your enemy is.

Is your enemy your ISP? If that's the case, I don't think it's "easy" for them; they would have to pay Digital Ocean or Amazon to get your data, and probably isn't really that valuable to them.

Is your enemy the MPAA? If that's the case, I still don't think it's particularly "easy" for them. Unless you are a MAJOR pirate distributor, the extra effort(money) to track you down isn't worth it.

Is your enemy the NSA or the FBI? If that's the case, then yes, it's trivially easy for them to Subpoena digital ocean or amazon to get your data, but similarly they can use techniques on PIA to get your data too.

In the end, it comes down to whom you trust with your data. And whether you want a managed VPN service, or are willing to put up with the inherent problems of maintaining your own system. will PIA sell your surfing habits to advertisers, will DO sell your surfing habits to advertisers? Who gives faster speeds?

However, the inverse is probably what CoreOS is going for.

Now, whenever you google "linux container" you'll get "container linux by coreOS" as one of the top hits (currently, for myself, googling "linux container" doesn't have coreOS on the first page).

Last week Buzzfeed reported on an entire cottage industry of web users in Macedonia generating fake news stories related to Trump vs Clinton in order to inject them into Facebook’s Newsfeed as a way to drive viral views and generate ad revenue from lucrative US eyeballs.

Does anyone else find this incredibly ironic? Buzzfeed ratting out others doing clickbait?

No kidding eh? The Bolt seems to be relatively comparable to the Sonic in size, which can be had for $16k.

I don't think buyers are going to save 22k in gasoline over the course of the life of the car.

Why not a character like Mike from "Suits"?

Suits already has a character like Mike from Suits. The characters name is, surprisingly, named Mike.

If Elliot were to be like Mike from Suits, Mr Robot would need to change the name of the show to Suits.

we risk creating an environment where everyone has to live in fear of false scandals.

I think this is an interesting concept and needs to be brought more to light.
