I'm only out of a job if you can successfully get to work without using the roads owned by the local road association. And if you can do that, so can I, so I wouldn't be paying that cost. But this is SF we're talking about, so that seems unlikely - transportation is extremely monetizable.

Alternatively, maybe you're taking a worse route to work and willing to suffer a worse commute, in which case fine, you're just willing to work for lower pay than I am. I'm only out of a job if you're an equal-quality employee despite being willing to work for lower pay, in which case one of us is being stupid (either you are undercharging, or I am overcharging) and could just choose to stop being stupid.

>Once I reach "normalcy", procrastination and self indulgence kick in unless I see a point behind a long term goal.

Greeeeat point. Productivity is incredible while you're in survival mode. However, is there a time when stagnation is the goal? I often thought, "If I got rich, I'd do nothing. Sit, enjoy life, travel." But would that lead to the depression you speak of?

Past a certain level of income, the number of things you can directly buy that will make a significant improvement in your life are extremely rare.

You're back to square 1 and you need to work to improve your life. The technology, products and services simply do not exist.

Unless you are willing to readjust your world view, attitude and ambition to be fine with stagnation (i.e "living life"); you will feel dissatisfied.

Yep, yep, yep. Just got "there", thanks to the original motivation. Trying to just "live life". Sucks...

I think it says something about the Hacker News community that these posts always float to the top. Hardly a day passes where I don't see a "no more procrastination" post.

What does this mean? Is it that we're all procrastinators? I don't think so, many here are highly accomplished. Is it our fear or procrastination? Is it perfectionism?

Strange.

It's a poorly understood subject on a topic that almost all people consider important.

Given that it is a poorly understood subject, it is then a highly moralized one, and moralized topics are popular.

The problem is, the manufacturers will not be able to follow suit with thunderbolt. So... what will device makers use? The BIG problem is they will likely not even use the same "standard" across Android devices... what is a headphones manufacturer to do?

>So... what will device makers use?

USB Type-C, if they were so inclined.

USB Type-C has provisions for putting audio directly onto auxiliary pins exactly for this purpose.

However, I suspect most won't get rid of the standard audio jack without a good reason.

I was surprised by this but this is indeed the case. [1][2][3][4]

USB Type-C is pretty amazing. It's effectively full-duplex ethernet, power-over-ethernet, and some low-speed garnish all wrapped into a single reversible connector.

Yeah, it's just too bad there aren't many quality multi-purpose hubs/adapters yet.

This will do nothing more than favor the rich and further suppress the poor.

What do you think about white rice? Google lists white rice (1 cup, cooked) at 0.1g. Conversely, brown rice shows 0.7g for the same portion.

Are these simple sugars? Is this bad for me?

A reputable nutritional guide (and I've listed several, though there are many others) will be far more reliable and complete than me. Please refer to them.

If you care to share your findings, report them back to the discussion.

I've found some data on the subject prior, and I find that it doesn't contain sugar, but acts like sugar, but then that's nullified if you eat it with a fiber, etc. It's more than "what does this book say".

This is FELONY theft in some states. This man is an absolute idiot for not calling the police on those who set out elaborate schemes to defraud others.
