I don't mean to diminish the work done here, but I can't bring myself to use any home automation that relies on internet and 3rd party services. The whole "I can't turn off my lights/adjust my thermostat/close my garage door because the internet is down" is a cliche these days, but also reality when you use services like these.

There's a difference between core and nice to have services (eg, ability to tell you the weather), but I consider light, door, and temperature control to be "core": having a dozen separate points of failure is just bad design. You could consider voice control nice-to-have, but if it works well, I have a feeling it would move to being core. If it doesn't work well enough to be used all the time (and thus irritatingly missed when it's broken), why bother?

I'm aware of Mycroft; anyone have experience with it or alternatives?

If anything, your link confirms vitamin D theory even more :) What is the most common trait for all these low human resource index countries? They are closer to equator, i.e darker skin of the population.

It is very well established epidemiological fact that darker skin immigrants have noticeably lower vitamin D in higher altitudes (i.e where the higher developed countries are that they immigrate into).
> The shift is possible in California partly because there’s a surplus of solar power

IDK where they get there's a surplus, there's enough that it makes the "peakers" sit idle enough of the time they're not economically feasible to operate without a guaranteed payday.

Honestly, I could be wrong since the only information I have on the subject is this article which doesn't support the claim they're making. I suppose if you counted the plants that have to generate a certain amount of power + solar and wind at its peak then maybe there's a surplus in there somewhere, dunno?

I believe the OG is referring to "CastleMiner Z," the other, not-so oft mentioned, precursor to Minecraft. The investigative should also take note, that Infiniminer is also based off of CastleMiner Z. And that CastleMiner Z itself, was based off of another game.
I'd be very careful about applying lessons from a game to the real world. Lots of games designed by economists, for example, tend to validate the pet theories of the economists, despite not working in the real world.

Real world economics is infinitely more complex than the handful of rules in a game.

I mostly use Spotify and stream music rather than collect mp3 files, but I still have a couple hundred or so songs that Spotify doesn’t have. Spotify lets you load local files and add them to playlists alongside songs you stream, and I’ve generally been pretty pleased. It certainly beats iTunes, and it’s nice having everything all in one place.
If you look at the pollution produced by the various kinds of energy plants, nuclear looks kinda miraculous.

Coal plants spew quite a bit of radiation into the environment:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

We have been spending millions looking into new technology to keep various pollutants from escaping the powerplant sites. In the case of nuclear, the pollutants stay onsite by default. So yes, nuclear could be argued to be extremely clean relative to other forms of electrical energy generation.

My reply falls in the otherwise category.

The Nutribullet blender has let me add one additional billable hour a day. Instead of cooking breakfast I blend it. Half an avocado, 1 raw egg (for the downvotes), protein powder, a little flour (or walnuts), creatine a frozen banana (or carrots), and almond milk. I love them.

I make these twice a day and prepare 3 smaller quick meals. Less dishwashing. Less decision fatigue as to what to eat when I awake.

I also purchased a pull-up bar and skip the gym most days.

A better Wifi router surprisingly helped too. I was previously adamant that my old one was fine since it provided 5X the bandwidth provided by my ISP anyway. I was wrong.

I'd also recommend learning to cut your own hair and stop watching the news so you can concentrate on your tasks and not ruminate about the state of the world.

Sympathy towards animals is admirable. But, there is a certain naïveté that surrounds this issue with those unfamiliar with livestock.

You mention pigs. We raised pigs. Not cages... just typical barnyard animals with acres to wander around. When a sow gave birth, it was routine for her to step on or roll over onto a few piglets and kill them. And, of course the runt(s) would die within days; we'd hold them by the rear legs and slam them into the side of the barn. Killed fast. Never considered using nitrogen to suffocate then. Never worried much about how many milliseconds it took for pain to travel to their brain in the moment before they were knocked out. Seems sort of silly.

And don't get me started on chickens. Domesticated chickens are hideous... roosters more so. Try raising a group of roosters and chickens and see what happens. They aren't the most civilized creatures. In any case, I keep ssying 'domesticated' chickens... I'm sure Whatever wild poultry these thing came from are probably normal. But, damn... I'm telling you... We have bred the IQ out of chickens... they are the closest thing to automatons you will find in a barnyard. I have more sympathy and respect for cockroaches than chickens.
Glad to hear it.

One issue in the advanced nuclear industry is that a lot of people (there are ~50 individual advanced nuclear efforts in the USA [1]) are competing to have the best nuclear technology without collaborating all that much, even though such collaboration may be necessary for the industry to overcome its challenges (i.e. survive in an era of cheap natural gas and popular/successful intermittent renewables). It's important for nuclear to survive because intermittent renewables in the 50-75% of total energy range can benefit a lot from some low-carbon baseload (or, even better, just low-carbon dispatchable energy), and it will be much easier to decarbonize with a successful nuclear fleet.

In advanced nuclear, you need test facilities to perform multi-year material and fuel tests, physics modeling software to be validated against experimental facilities that no longer exist, and a big-ticket hardware supply chain that's ramped up to "N-stamp" quality assurance programs. All of this is hard.

Secrecy in the nuclear industry dates back to the Manhattan Project and the naval nuclear stuff, but it's holding it back now. I've been dreaming about much more work in open-source reactor design software, open-source reactor hardware, and other ways to share facilities, supply chains, etc. The hard part is finding business cases when the industry is still mostly run by old-school engineering managers.

* Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga

If both are done diligently together every day, after 2 weeks you will likely see drastic improvement.

It's not a cure - if I stop, after 2 days I'm back in excruciating pain. But when I do these regularly, I can go through the day forgetting that I have neck problems.

This is such a teriffic argument. The mafia also employs people. If a company that employs people that earns money with fraud, not by doing anything productive goes bankrupt, that just means that those people will now have to work for a company that does do something productive, which is a good thing.
I have hashimoto's thyroiditis autoimmune condition and I read somewhere that one possible cause could be very subtle gluten allergy. So antibodies are produced to attack a specific gluten protein, but this protein is similar in molecular structure as the protein thyroid is made of, thyroglobulin, so at the same time thyroid is attacked. Is this what molecular mimicry is ? I know next to nothing about human microbiology, feel free to educate me. I really should pick up a book on it if I want to experiment with my health, any suggestions where to start ?
I'll detail some of my favorites for Alfred, in the terminal, and in sublime-text.

Alfred

I like http://www.alfredapp.com. Gives you immediate access to lots of tools and you can install custom workflows. A few favorites:

He clearly meant a something like a human centric EROI. Fossil fuels still have an EROI advantage for now, especially if you force renewables to have enough storage capacity to act as baseload.

As long as you solve the waste issue. If you can't solve nuclear waste, cheap batteries, solar, and wind will beat you every time.

And you better be able to deliver for under 8 cents/kwh, which is where battery backed renewables are currently at (and that will continue to fall).
Isn’t the most obvious explanation that the Pentagon does care, and just isn’t sharing their knowledge or investigations?

Regardless of the explanation, whether it’s experimental US aircraft, experimental Russian or Chinese aircraft, weather phenomenon, or even extraterrestrials, by far the most implausible explanation is that the Pentagon (or the US government at some level) simply doesn’t care to explain or investigate these reports.

I think combat games teach a lot about improvisation, especially if you're playing against another human, you'd have to adapt in realtime the pattern the other person is using and trying to develop a strategy to counter the other person's attack/defense. In recent combat games, the startup/cooldown time are so precise that pro players literally need to remember, compute and combine maths in their game plays in real time into combos.

They look better than DIYs, are typically quieter for the same cfm, and optionally have an automatic mode where the fan speed changes based on the detected air quality.

But yeah if you don't care how they look or how noisy they are just assemble one yourself and blast it on max. That's what I did for two years in China and it worked (had a separate particle counter to measure PM).

Interestingly, I live in rural Japan and went on a trip with some of my neighbours. One of them brought her son along who is a buyer of natural gas for Fuji film. I asked how they are set up. He told me that they generate all of their electricity onsite from natural gas generators. It seems that they also need the waste heat for some other processes so it makes sense for them. I asked him about solar and wind because I know that both are fairly good bets here (more than 200 days of sun per year at 34 degrees latitude, coastal position with near constant moderate wind). He said that because of the waste heat that they need, it's still much cheaper for them to go with natural gas and figured that it would continue for some time (though... I suppose he might be biased given his job ;-) ). Unfortunately my Japanese isn't quite good enough to understand what they were using the waste heat for. Fuji film makes a lot more than film -- they do a lot of electronics too, so I'm not quite sure what they are doing. I also know a few people who work for automobile parts manufacturers (suppliers for the big car companies here) and most of them also use primarily natural gas, apparently (which surprised me greatly). I did notice that a few years ago quite a few factories in the area have covered their roofs with solar panels, so I think it's moving slightly.

I suspect that in many parts of the US, the national grid is so cheap that it makes sense to use it. But at least here in Japan it seems to be common to generate at least some of the energy yourself.
