Frankly, I don't trust password managers. Perhaps I'm naive and they're perfectly safe, but still.
My solution is to develop an algorithm for all my passwords that is pretty quick and simple to memorize but allows me to "generate" a unique password for each service that I use.
Although I seriously doubt anyone could figure out my algorithm by learning one of my passwords, I'll admit that if they were to gather 3 or more then they'll probably be able to figure out my system. But since I never write down or record any passwords whatsoever (all I need to remember is my algorithm), someone would have to steal my credentials from multilple sources and also be able to know which credentials from one service match a user from another, etc.
1. Linkedin, Yahoo, Disqus. Probably a few others for good measure.
2. Search for any combinations of john, garrison, and any other names I can determine by looking up your comment / post history here
3. Check the list of results to see which appear to be reasonably complex and of similar construction to determine which are likely yours. People with "good" passwords are very much in the minority, so this should be pretty straight-forward and mostly automatable.
4. Manually try to determine your scheme, which according to you is probably doable with this information.

Not saying it'd get you for sure, but if your replacement of a password manager is hamstrung by knowledge of at most three of your previously used passwords, you're probably doing yourself a disservice.
If someone doesn't think "robots" (i.e., automation) hasn't devastated the usual human modes of keeping a livlihood, they haven't been paying attention.
When you consider how nearly half of working age adults are unemployed, how many of those actually in jobs spend most of their time largely inactive and unproductive, and how many people are removed from the job market entirely by being warehoused in education or incarcerated, it's astonishing how much our lives have been "taken over".
Looking at history, the "usual human modes of keeping a livelihood" are 97% of people engaging in sustenance farming. So, yes, automation has definitely ended that.
Automation may have contributed to dragging society out of sustenance (subsistence?) farming, but many other factors have been hugely significant. Agriculture, irrigation, hygiene, sanitation, medicine, cities, etc etc etc. Automation -- in the manner signified in this thread -- has only contributed in recent years, whereas other factors have been significant for decades or even centuries.

Labor force participation rate is not the inverse of the unemployment rate. To support your position, you'd need to show dramatic reductions in labor force participation and show a causal link with automation. I am skeptical that you can.
We should return to a nerfed version of the hunter gatherer lifestyle, it's what we were designed for. The whole agricultural/industrial civilization thing is a hack.
If you can't get hired and have some land that you can cultivate, you got a job working the land. The land will always hire you and feed you, unlike big-corporation.
And even less so if "inflation" has been redefined specifically to be lower, in order to reduce the amount of real money that needs to go into social security.
Yes, it is poorly written. But the idea is that you wouldn't properly metabolize whatever you're eating with the drink. Or whatever is floating in your bloodstream when you're drinking.
The article doesn't seem to indicate that though? It only mentions the brains response to sugary and diet drinks. Any inferred response in how the body performs alongside food seems to be at best a guess (at least from the article itself and not from the paper).
I've been decrying Amazon's usability for years. Such an unintutive mess of menus and sub-systems. Such a poor customer experience for anything other than simple "click and buy" usage.
I blame their extreme position ahead of other emarketers. They have very little reason to be nice and helpful. People will throw money at them regardless.
As a physician, I say most doctors would enthusiastically welcome it. With today's constant threat of litigation, practically all doctors are getting second opinions on every diagnosis anyway to help defend their actions in case something goes wrong. If they can say "Watson agreed with my diagnosis" instead of "Dr. Jones agreed with my diagnosis", work gets done quicker. Waiting for second opinions is hugely annoying and a big time waster in a doctor's day.
Because, in theory, if anything goes wrong during the course of a patient's care the doctor can just say "Watson agreed with me" and the chance of litigation drops dramatically.
I'm noticing that, which is a little bit of a bummer. One of the other things I disliked about reddit is "science" or "technology" articles about things that are theoretically pretty cool if they exist, but don't, and likely never will. Like the article here about the gears for space - I just can't bring myself to give any fucks about a prototype. Put it in space and then tell me about it.
