My mother, my brother and I all have this smell ability to some degree. I remember when I was a child, my mother could diagnose me with strep by smell. (She would also take me to the doctor.)

None of us in the family can tolerate things like fresh paint, dry cleaner establishments, nail polish, and other chemical smells. My mother tended to avoid the "better living through chemistry" cleaning products popular in the 70's and 80's because they bothered her a lot. I, unfortunately, have developed extreme chemical sensitivity, so I'm on the extreme end of this.

FWIW, nobody on this side of my family has ever gotten cancer (knock on wood). I often wonder if our profound awareness of toxins is also protective, in that we completely avoid things that others would be comfortable working with on a daily basis.
Yet, many people want to paint the time before 18 as filled with unicorns and rainbows. Most of the time, it sucked for me. For the longest time, I didn't have a way to get money (a job), no way to get around without someone else, and what little money I had, I couldn't spend it the way I wanted.

Max is pretty horrible, as any comparison requires identical cohort sizes. P99.99 is much better if you want to go wild.

Given that the service probably did not have a 100% success rate, and almost certainly had timeouts, the "max" would also likely be at the timeout.
‘Geared to a millennial’s lifestyle’: Engagement and wedding rings have gone DTC
I'm not sure about that. This incident has nothing to do with airmiles the passenger already collected on lots of other flights. They could take away his miles on this flight but if airmiles have value this is arbitrary punishment. They would have a reasonable claim to get him to pay some excess luggage fine but I highly doubt they have the right to take away an arbitrary number of airmiles.
I have something like this too. I first noticed it at boarding school aged 13/14. My peers put it to the test - I could identify with 100% accuracy who was on their period. Not sure this 'power' as ever been useful though. Air fresheners, scented candles all make me feel sick and agitated. However I LOVE the smell of petrol. More recently and worryingly I have noticed the distinct smell of sick people. My father had a weird smell the last time I saw him and it worried me... He has just been diagnosed with COPD.

Many individual investors have stayed away from mutual funds for quite some time now. There are better ways to invest your money imo. If the high expense ratios, hidden load charges, and diluted returns were not discouraging enough, this will help firm up that decision.
You're missing the point. Even if running a git server is easy, not everyone will bother to maintain it and setup a regular backup process. Also, where do you back that data up to? Some central server or DHT/BitTorrent. Inherently, AWS is popular because companies would rather pay to have someone deal with the headache of managing hardware and infrastructure.

While decentralized protocols don't entirely prevent centralization, they're still better than if the protocol was centralized. While Facebook and Google exist, we can still make websites. While most people use Gmail, we can still run our own mail servers.

Even if 90% of users use the centralized service, the protocol being open gives enormous value to the remaining 10%. And as long as the 10% keep the protocol open, the _possibility_ of decentralization can keep the centralized services honest.

We only need to keep the googles of the world from completely shutting down the open protocols. I mean, even that can get hard, but it's still entirely reasonable goall.
- fusion reactors then used to power spaceX ships to go to Mars... wait what!

As long as his next project is not teleportation gateways i guess we are safe.

[edit] it's also 2019 :D

> In the year 2019, the player character (an unnamed space marine) has been punitively posted to Mars after assaulting a superior officer, who ordered his unit to fire on civilians. The space marines act as security for the Union Aerospace Corporation's radioactive waste facilities, which are used by the military to perform secret experiments with teleportation by creating gateways between the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. In 2022, Deimos disappears entirely and "something fraggin' evil" starts pouring out of the teleporter gateways, killing or possessing all personnel.
Mist showers may be OK for people with short hair, but it's a no-go for those with long hair. You need a decent amount of flow/water pressure to be able to get all shampoo/conditioner out.
The author makes clear it saves water and energy without sacrificing comfort:

"Jonas writes about his shower that 'it is not all a compromise in comfort, as it is sometimes suggested in the research papers of the 1970s' and I totally agree."

So substantially more efficient with no loss of living standard.

As for energy: " . . . while there is a certain amount of energy needed to heat the water for a daily shower it is very simple to obtain from carbon-neutral sources." All energy can be obtained from carbon-neutral sources, but as it's fungible, all savings are beneficial. Conservation is the lowest hanging fruit.

I think your greenshaming diatribe is more personal.

I"m assuming that they need to keep the facade because of historic value or something but why not attach it to the new building? Some are saying it is laziness but it seems like it would take a lot of work to make sure this freestanding wall is structurally sound. Not to mention all the extra work having to clean two walls instead of just one (I guess it would actually be 3 different surfaces, the front and back of the facade and the front of the new building). Of course, the architect won't be the one cleaning it...

So are they like this because someone thinks this looks good???

Well, _we_ don't really play nice amongst ourselves, so my retort to you would be:

> There are no decent small (<5") phones on the market

This is a major reason behind why I've stuck with my iPhone 5S since the end of 2013. Unfortunately, after 6 years, the battery life is now really suffering, and it's starting to feel a little sluggish. Up until the last 6 - 12 months it's been a great phone though.
There's an open source design of this at https://showerloop.org/
> Centralization is a natural outcome of millions of people not wanting to (1) spend money and (2) not wanting to spend extra time -- to fulfill ideals of decentralization.

Ironically enough, people do not live year-round in centralized hotels with cleaning services provided. They live in their own decentralized homes, and make an economic decision whether to take care of their cleaning needs by themselves, or to outsource and hire somebody to clean their domicile for them.

There seems to be an inherent assumption that running your own services necessitates taking care of maintenance yourself. I think this is a mistake - we just haven't been able to develop yet a model where we own decentralized installations and outsource the maintenance, even though in many other instances, this is the case - not just cleaning and houses, but endpoints and OS updates.

This doesn't make any sense. How do you suppose that electricity is to be generated?

Another vote for Anker, they're consistently better quality than the other "random character name" brands found on Amazon.
This may become another example of a good company catering well to a specific niche, then taking on money until they are unable to cater well to their original niche anymore.

Solving a specific problem well in a market worth $X is not compatible with taking 10 * $X in funding — you will be forced to start doing something else so you can make ROI. Along the way you’ll probably alienate your existing market by price gouging (like switching to a subscription based service model for a simple app), so there won’t be any turning back either.
That misses the learning process in a PhD program. A PhD is not just the thesis work, it is also the education and mentorship that is generally necessary to become an expert in both a broad field and a specialty.
My kids are very well fed. In every day care we've done to, three and counting, the teachers have made a point to praise our kids lunches as the best they've seen in their careers. Parents are in awe at how our kids aren't fussy and eat all their vegetable rich, omnivore meals.

There's no need to periodically prick my kids and my wife and I don't need adult supervision, thank you very much.

There's a beautiful map store in London that I visited. If I recall, everything in there are contemporary "originals" -- meaning printed in that year, no re-printing. So a 1973 map of the Underground was from 1973. They also had very old, beautiful maps. I wanted them all!

After 20 minutes, I began to realize my wife was casually leafing through dozens of poster-size maps with £30,000 price stickers on them. My jaw nearly dropped. Her hands held "art" that they valued at close to £500,000++. I also realized I couldn't afford the map I wanted and left empty-handed

In this times is normal for companies to create their own products using open source products, but to some people is not very good seen.

In my case I think is not worth it a tool that only works in some specific environment, that doesn't have many functionalities, and it costs more than all the products of Jetbrains. I don't like either that is a tool built on top of open sources projects trying to charge a big amount while it does not have almost any functionality.
I think you make a very good point in your last statement. The reason for encouraging young people to succeed within institutional frameworks can be easily explained as a direct outcome of the needs of modern states to churn out skilled people for “The betterment of the Nation”. Schools were originally meant to train the population in skills that would greatly assist them as soldiers or workers in a factory. Life expectancies were different then and so were social conventions around eg marriage.

Today, most nations are at peace and life expectancy is generally large and fertility rates and marriage are declining. This means that there isn’t the urgent need as it was then to train early. Institutions should be changed with these new circumstances in mind.
The article does put some numbers to the energy needed to heat the water. They estimate it at being equal to driving 3.5 – 7 km with a relatively fuel efficient car per shower. They also say they didn't count the energy costs from water treatment and distribution.

And they also point out that all of the current wind turbines in the world could only power 1 billion people's daily shower, only considering the heating of the water...

If there's a way to reduce the cost of showering without any significant decrease in quality of life, why not encourage it?
The centralization-decentralization cycle is about efficiency vs robustness trade-off at a system level.

When we have a decentralized system that feels safe, we centralize it to increase efficiency. Eventually we have a disaster that convinces us that decentralization was worth it and we re-create it. Then eventually we grow complacent and repeat the process.

When I design a decentralized system now, I just assume it can only live a decade or two before it gets killed and I need to do it again under new branding.

Mobile support would be a big attraction for users with low-powered devices. Accidental taps on slow links to fatty content e.g. news sites can trigger some pain.
I think it's a reaction to people constantly saying "take shorter showers!" when doing that would have minimal effect on climate change. Industrial and agricultural water use, and pollution, are massive compared to anything a modern city dweller does on a daily basis.
I agree. A low-flow toilet still takes ~5 litres to flush; definitely the obvious thing to do is capture the used shower/sink water into a reservoir that then is used to flush the toilet throughout the day. If the reservoir is inside, then even the energy used to heat the water is not lost, as it will warm the house while the tank cools down.

But whenever I've looked into greywater capture systems, they seem mostly focused on an outdoor storage drum with rain-barrel type applications in mind (garden irrigation, etc).

I mean, the other option is just not to have a shower every single day. I know the thought is horrifying to some, but a fully-grown adult can be perfectly presentable on 2-3 showers a week.

They’re engaging, which can’t be excluded from their benefits. There was something visceral about watching Apple pull ahead in 2011-2015.

IMO bar charts are better at showing relative sizes of scalar numbers as opposed to 2d shapes. A circle with twice as much area as another just doesn’t look 2x as big to me.
No problem at all, it is a relevant discussion but in a way I now feel I moved attention away from the intent of the OP which was to raise awareness and support for Symbiflow.

flawed city planning

I am not denying the problems of automobile centric US cities. But city planning isn't enough. Most of the US is rural. West of Dallas, Fort Smith, and Minniapolis the US is mostly very rural mountains and deserts. The American vastness requires different approaches. Different solutions. Because problems in the American vastness are at different scales of distance. Different scales of density. Different extremes of geography.

Between Philadelphia and Boston, better city planning solves a lot of problems. Albuquerque to Flagstaff is entirely different, Similar distance. Only Gallup, Holbrook, and Winslow between.
Usually getting a upper bound on when something was first published is easier than finding out when and if some random person has died.

Veganism can work, if you are knowledgable about your body's requirements. Realistically, most people are pretty crappy about what they put into their bodies. My opinion is that most people throwing stones against veganism aren't exactly paragons of health themselves. I know that I'm not, and I'm not vegan.

The bigger issue with veganism is that the rest of us non-vegans can eat whatever we want and still be somewhat healthy, purely by accident. In veganism, you do need to be aware of the balance of amino acids your body requires, and the various vitamins and minerals too. You can't haphazardly just eat whatever plant-based foods you want; you have to plan a bit more. I would hazard a guess that most new vegans are just jumping onto what's trendy, without doing adequate research. Just look at the swathes of vegan YouTubers that recently had to start eating meat again due to health problems.

With new products targeting vegans becoming available, this is getting to be a bit easier. I have an infant son that is currently intolerant to dairy and eggs, even when his mom ingests it and he gets it via nursing. We've had our share of frustrations with trying to find products that they both can eat that don't have milk, eggs, or milk-based ingredients. So I'm a fan of the new options available. My fear is that these products start to go down the path of gluten-free foods; that it becomes a marketing buzzword and makes it impossible for the actual target market (i.e. celiacs) to actually eat the foods.

Personally, if I ever decide to give up meat, I'd probably ease into it with pescatarianism (eating farmed instead of wild), or eventually, bivalve veganism [0].

It’s funny that you cite only the ayurvedic name, since the scientific name, diabetes mellitus, has the exact same etymology: “mellite” is Latin and translates to “sweetened [with honey]”, and the disease was thus named in 1675 because of the patients’ urine’s sweet taste. That said, it’s definitely interesting that this isn’t a relatively recent discovery and was already known two thousand years before the modern naming.

I think you sacrifice a lot of comfort with a mist shower. I enjoy high GPM showers - because it feels really good and it’s one of my favorite things every morning.

hard water makes it difficult to rinse soap off, I imagine it would be even harder in a misting system.
Water isn't really scarce but it is over-extracted and as per typical in this overly individualist society, that gets thrown back on the individual to make tokenistic gestures of self sacrifice by buying more stuff.

The correct solution to over-extraction is political policies that put the health of the whole environment, including surface and ground water, above the selfishness of industry.
"You see, right here, few of us, certainly not I, are clever enough, 'cause there isn't time to be clever. A critical flight attitude recovery requires training and rote response, 'cause there isn't time to think. You must respond to the training. And it's that response to their training, that initial move that saves the initial crisis, that buys the time to do all the clever things that we all think of, given time."
Are the later two usually neccessary? I recall vitamins usually ending in just very expensive piss.

Admittedly I am /very/ emotionally biased due to personal phobia - having unneccessary suffering imposed over the complete lack of agency because of someone else's convenience of just box checking is a very traumatic thing given the grudges and resentment over even inconveniences like the bullshit bomb drills or mythical under 29 minutes wait swimming cramps. Not saying never but look carefully at actual need instead of just shallow unthinking "we should do this because it is good" attitude which has had all sorts of backfires.
It's well known that plants can't/don't provide all essential nutrients without supplementing. B12 is a major one amongst others.

Deluge showers are a step above rain showers - and are quite pleasurable.
IOT devices use standard, commonly available boards and chips, which are meant for widely varied applications, so offer wifi/Internet connectivity easily. So companies can add that "feature" painlessly by applying a snippet of (usually OSS) code. And collecting all the customer data they can is a bonus. No penalty of zero security, major upside if they sell it.

This is dangerous to all of us, even if you don't own any IOT devices.

Does anyone have experience with these nozzles and calcareous water? We get chalky deposits on the kitchen sink, electric kettle, even the surface edge of the fish tank (and that after blending the water for the fishes 1:1 with collected rainwater) in no time and need to remove it frequently. The nozzles look like as if they would be clogged after a few uses, especially as the problem gets worse with warm/hot water. Anyone has experience with that?
I would say math is the exception, rather than biology. In most fields - even ones that don't require physical experiments - research is aided quite a bit by infrastructure, interaction, and environment.

> attacks from Javascript code that escape the browser sandbox have been demonstrated

As far as I understand you still need to be able to have some kind of timing information or cpu state available in the sandboxed program, which is possible if the emulator/sandbox runs close enough to the metal (Such as a js program in a modern browsee, because they need to be fast). Remove ALL timing info and it should be possible to make it impossible to exploit speculative execution. It might run 1000x or 10000x slower than a modern JS engine however.
