Another way to clean masks is to put them in a bowl of hot water (at least 70°C) and add detergent. Let it sit for a few minutes and you‘re good to go.

I've seen a bunch of sides of it in the US. In the midwest where I grew up parts of my family required children to drink a glass of milk because the milk-industry propaganda at the time said it was important for kids to drink a bunch of milk for bones and growth and other stuff that was never true and was known to never be true.

But we didn't have the internet yet, so how do you fact check it? The TV said so.

I do see fewer people interested in milk as you go younger here, I think that once it was more broadly understood that milk is marginal the pressure to drink it was gone but there was still some cultural kind of urban legend nonsense that is really hard to get rid of in a society that doesn't trust experts. Which I can't blame anyone for if we're talking about nutritional experts because anyone alive for more than twenty years has seen them flip their opinion on at least a quarter of food types.

It is notable that in that part of my family, half the kids ended up lactose intolerant and still are frustrated about their parents for making them sick all the time as kids by requiring them to drink something they didn't want to drink anyway.

I liked chocolate milk because who doesn't, but after someone for the first time pointed out that it's kinda weird for humans to drink milk intended for calves (maybe I was 13 or 14?) I pretty much just stopped drinking it because it just wasn't that good anyway and now I had an excuse. My brother and mother are both lactose intolerant, it turns out.

I think a lot of people have felt low grade sick their entire lives in the US because they've never gone for long enough without dairy to notice.
Many N95s are rated for a month (20 days) of 8 hours use. If you're only using them for a few hours a day you can stretch their life by quite a bit.
In a similar vein, I have a shell script (fish, in my case) that combines these to let me quickly modify the contents of the clipboard:

if vim -c "set nofixeol" $tmpfile
pbcopy < $tmpfile
end
rm $tmpfile
end

I've heard you can use 151-proof grain alcohol in lieu of rubbing alcohol (which has disappeared entirely from store shelves for months) in order to sanitize things. Apparently if you mix it with vegetable glycerin you can create your own ersatz hand sanitizer?

I was thinking you could create your own rubbing alcohol by mixing water, sugar, and yeast, distill it over your stove, and then combine it with aloe vera to create hand sanitizer, but that's probably less preferable than using store-bought ingredients that are more consistent.
Yep. Mojave really messed up the font rendering of my 2013 Macbook Air.

No, logically they'll just try to hide the fact they're doing it, probably by rolling it into an ad hoc social credit packaged and sold to "marketers" behind the scenes.

Some growth hacks are hard to fund with bootstrap revenue. One example is Paypal's $20 signup bonus when they started out. The bonus tapered off to lower amounts over time, but it was still super expensive (~$70 million!).
are you mathiasbynens? If so, thank you. I've been using that script as a reference for my own clean install script. Not sure where else I could have found the information, seems like Apple themselves are against documenting it and have in fact deprecated some of the settings in later macOS versions.
Yes they can through google play protect. But first they need to identify the app.
> they can be revenue funded and still hard to catch up to by just copying them

Capital financing can provide five to twenty years’ operational cash flows in a single go. It takes deep moats to outgrow someone copying you and simultaneously expanding into every market you would have taken the coming decade.

This is a standard scale playbook by the way. When your competitor can scale faster, but refuses to for political (control) or ideological reasons, it leaves a strategic opening.
I'm not a good C programmer by any means. I'm in high school and still learning and most of my knowledge is straight from K&R. That being said, I made this short program for someone I care about:

view-source:https://archive.org/download/aurora_20200721/aurora.c

Here it is without the ASCII art:

view-source:https://ia801401.us.archive.org/32/items/aurora_20200721/pre...

Both compile with a quick `cc aurora.c`. It prints random ASCII to fill up the terminal (I use it at 80x24), and at some point it adds my friend's name (aurora) and highlights it.

She said it was cute.
> This website exists to help allies find the research needed to defeat Donald Trump in 2020.

As an external observer my only question to the authors would be "then why did you choose the most worthless opponent to face Trump if you really wanted to win ?".

I can't believe democrats have no one more credible than Biden to counter Trump. That baffles me.

Arguably, building trust and social relationships with coworkers can create opportunities you wouldn't otherwise have. Networking is the common word for it. The more people out there in the world, and especially within your industry, who are thinking of you, the more often you'll get a message from someone you trust about some new job opportunity they just came across and thought might be a good fit for you. Those tend to be better opportunities than the ones that get publicly broadcasted, and they don't tend to get offered to people who seem standoffish.

And I'm speaking as a standoffish person who seldom to never gets those offers, but my wife often skips the need to job hunt because perfect jobs just fall into her lap from all the connections she's made.
Land can be viewed as an export, but it's not like any other.

Economically, there is a fundamental difference between finite, rent-generating resources like land, and value-added goods like Chinese trinkets or international students.

Exporting value-added goods builds the economy. Exporting rent-collecting resources results in significant long-term harm to the economy.
One more tip about the screenshot functionality:

If you're using a Macbook with a Touch bar, you can press Cmd + Shift + 4 to enter a screenshot selection mode, and then use Touch bar to adjust screenshot mode (full screen, window or selection) and destination (Desktop, Clipboard, Preview, Documents etc) on the fly.

ARM CPUs can be rather performant, especially for specialist tasks. These things are always plugged in and don't need to save battery, therefore they can always run at maximum performance.

The HomePod for example uses the Apple A8 chip which is a very capable chip used to power the iPhone 6 than did way more than encode/decode audio.
Spot on. [Ebert's review] goes further and describes the Project Mayhem followers as victims of a "fascist" ideology. At the time, I thought that was harsh and sensational, but I think he was warning us that the subtler, less comfortable messages will be lost within themes that are powerful to an unsophisticated audience. Has it become propaganda?

Sabotage that the plans
There are many milk substitutes that don’t have the sugar of Oatly, the ones I’ve tried are the unsweetened almond and coconut milks.

I think they suck in coffee (so does Oatly) but they are good for cereal or smoothies or just liquid protein.
Author fails to mention that Coca-Cola (and most other soft drinks) have like 35 grams of sugar per serving, so even with maltose's higher GI, it's still nowhere near the blood sugar bomb that a Coke is. Comparing that to 7 grams of sugar per serving (of which "quite a bit" is maltose) is just completely unreasonable.

Whole piece similarly strikes me as dishonest and agenda-driven.
I agree with you on click-though T&Cs! That's a shitty place to hide what you're doing with customer trust and data. 100% agree there.

But it was widely known and discussed at the time, and included in their policy on day one[0]. It was the plan to make 1GB work. It was their answer when people asked, skeptically, how they could make money giving away such unfathomable storage "for free".

And, as far as privacy policies go, that document is well organized and addresses the scanning in the very first section.

You don't have to trust my memory of this, but their above-board handling of keyword scanning in emails is not an example that illustrates how they will be evil with surreptitious voice recording on their other products.

Mobile app idea #94: Automated Drone Patrol
I think for the most part your philosophy is a good one, if you can afford it (in money and time). The problem is that for many people, healthy foods aren't as accessible. It takes more time to cook your own food, or places that sell fresh foods are not close by. Or you don't have time to make grocery trips more than once every two weeks. If you are a single parent working a full time job, it's going to be very difficult to find time to cook from scratch every night. That's why we have to move toward making food more healthful by default.
> yields for wheat grown in indoor vertical farms under optimized growing conditions would be several hundred times higher than yields in the field due to higher yields, several harvests per year, and vertically stacked layers. Wheat grown indoors would use less land than field-grown wheat, be independent of climate, reuse most water, exclude pests and diseases, and have no nutrient losses to the environment. However, given the high energy costs for artificial lighting and capital costs, it is unlikely to be economically competitive with current market prices
Movies with great impact on me:

1. Untouchable - must see

2. Gattaca - are we going there?

3. 1984 - must see

4. Idiocracy - initially looks like joke/stupid movie, but it's more real then we may want to agree

5. Life of others (made in Ge)

6. Amelie Poulain (made in Fr)

7. Turtles can fly (made in Ir)

8. Stalker - the russian original (3 parts) (made in Ru)

9. Metropolis

Other good movies:

Lost Horizon

The Bucket List

The Truman Show

Solaris 1972

Enemy at the Gates

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I've been using Apple devices for ~25 years now and I think the best feature I have used was the summarizer service (actually I would think that services in general in macOS you should look through). What it does is if you select some text it will summarize it.

While I was in Brazilian jujitsu class they had an MMA brand that needed "organic content" based on articles from wikipedia and I bartered with them so that I would receive a Jujitsu Gi for summarizing 150 articles. This allowed me to accomplish the above task in only a few hours.

You can’t render anything complex on a FullHD screen with a low-power CPU. Need a GPU. Risc-V doesn’t have it yet, Pocket P.C. does. ARM Mali ain’t nVidia or Apple, but still, it’s not too bad for a mobile device, and orders of magnitude faster than rendering stuff on CPU.

This is something we've not tried yet, so I don't know. I would be surprised if it worked right now. But in general, it's something we would definitely be interested in exploring.

The containers created by Sysbox act like virtual-hosts, so it makes sense to have the ability to expose GPUs / hw-accelerators within them. But container nesting, which comes naturally with Sysbox, would introduce another challenge since the GPUs would not just need to be passed to the outer system container, but also to the inner application containers.
I just learned that Tesla in China does not have a local partner. Which surprised me.

Was Tesla an exception? Are there others?

Regardless, I'm absolutely certain that China is exfiltrating every morsel of IP. As state policy. It's what they do.

The only interesting wrinkle to me is that Elon Musk is probably okay with the knowledge transfer. A man on a mission. Whatever it takes to get humanity carbon neutral asap.

I'm fine with developing economies doing their thing. The notion was to nurture the BRICS countries, allow them to mature, not crush them in their cribs.

No one can argue today that China remains a developing economy. We're past time for realpolitik.

Probably not. Fluorescence occurs on a nanosecond timescale. Phosphorescence (what's used to make white LEDs) can have timescales on the order of seconds.

What's far more likely is that it's a capacitor discharging.
That Guardian article also mentions "green routes", taking side streets or pedestrian / bicycle walkways. There's a lot less pollution in those areas than on a busy road.
I learned all of this in school in a country where agriculture was a significant segment of the economy. It was most definitely not taught with a "neutral point of view".

Now that I have learned to understand the world with a more informed and nuanced perspective than the one my public education provided me with, I would certainly agree much more with the "extremists" you mention than any meat-eater justifications of how it "keeps you alive" or "respecting" the animals by eating them. And I say this as someone who still consumes meat and other animal products.
"If you want to be a theorist, great, but distancing physics from what anyone can do seems to make it less accessible." Well said. I also dont fully understand this strong desire to push everyone towards the theoretical boundaries of physics.

"Physics is not math." I would lean towards agreeing with this statement however its pretty much considered heresy.

"Most lab classes I took walked us through known results so we could write the data we were supposed to find if we measured wrong " This is extremely unfortunate. Perhaps it was a time/resource constraint issue. Real labs can be very time intensive but I found them to be very rewarding and motivating.
I used to use stickies years ago but it became too cumbersome. Something would happen and I would have the individual stickies back to their workspace.

Indoor air is the next coronavirus frontline
The UK compares quite favourably to the US when it comes to salmonella infections from eggs. According to Wikipedia, "142,000 people in the United States are infected each year with Salmonella Enteritidis from chicken eggs". The number in the UK is a few dozen. That's a substantial difference per capita. Calling it a "large" salmonella outbreak is definitely glass houses.

I feel that some of the "tu quoque" responses to GP are fuelled by US nationalism.

Koyaanisqatsi has been my favorite movie ever since the first time I accidentally caught it on TV almost 20 years ago. I've since been to live screenings with Glass and his Ensemble playing it, etc. :-)

And.. despite eventually discovering what Reggio is about, I have always taken the opposite view of the movie. To me it feels like a neutral view of how systematized our world is, how technology enables such systems, and how such systems are a fundamental and valuable part of moving forwards as a species. Humans = technology = systems.. but positivity for such things is my world view anyway, and Koy is a blank enough canvas to take this on.

The second sequel Naqoyqatsi felt like a more on the nose critique of the ills of technology and modern society to me, made up entirely of stock video set to a fragile but very human soundtrack, in contrast to Koy.
Longer copyright times would incentivize more investment in artists.

For example, you would see "YC for budding young novelists" if copyright were more long-term and secure.

You can pay the living expenses of a whole lot of would-be-starving-artists-but-actually-baristas, for an enormous number of years, if you can collect investment revenue from the one who turned out to be Stephen King.

This idea is an extension of what copyright is for, which it to allow creators to make money, thus incentivizing them.

I support unlimited-duration copyright.
This is not what copyright is for.

'Wowfunhappy, I strongly suggest you take a look at the Inform 7 programming language:

http://inform7.com/

It is powerful, stable, and addresses many of the issues of using an English-like syntax. It comes with an IDE and two hyperlinked manuals, which contain hundreds of working code samples implementing everything from basic conversations to systems of weights and measures. Finally, as one of the pillars of the modern interactive fiction<1> development community, it is under active development by its creator, in the saddle for twenty-plus years now.

Here's a sample (syntax may be slightly wrong):

A person can be nervous or relaxed. A person is usually relaxed.

The Train Station is a room. Joe is a man in the Train Station. Joe is nervous. "Joe shifts from foot to foot, looking uncomfortable." The description of Joe is "[if Joe is nervous]He's shifting uncomfortably[else]He's standing tall and proud[end if]."

Understand "cheer" as something new. Cheering is an action related to one person.

Carry out cheering (x - a person):
if x is nervous: now x is relaxed;
otherwise, say "[X] doesn't need to be cheered up." instead.

Report cheering (x - a person):
say "You clap [X] on the back. It works: [regarding X: his] mood lightens."<2>

That's all you need for rudimentary gameplay:

TRAIN STATION

Your buddy, Joe, shifts from foot to foot, looking uncomfortable.

> look at joe

He's shifting uncomfortably.

> cheer joe

You clap Joe on the back. It works: his mood lightens.

> examine joe

He's standing tall and proud.

<1>: the medium started by, but not limited to, text adventure games like ADVENT and Zork

<2>: [regarding X: his] is roughly the syntax used to change "his", "her", etc. into the appropriate gender for the variable X. Because games and experiences built with Inform have all-text contents and interfaces, Inform provides a large number of constructs to tame printed strings.
