Fir waves are pretty obscure.

Agree about the clusters. I am most familiar with the northern forests of New England (strictly as an amateur) and they are a wonderfully dynamic place. From big events like the Hurricane of '38, to small wind storms, fires, ice storms, and just an individual tree getting old and falling over, they are in a wonderful constant state of flux.

One of the saddest things is the loss (or coming loss) of so many important species. The American Chestnut and Elms are long since gone. The Hemlock and Ash are also under threat from pests and the Beech may be as well.
It's also Linux based on a properly supported distro that is maintained specifically for the rpi. You can do real hacking, not "try to get this to run" hacking.

If you haven't noticed, a camera + some image recognition software is the new industrial sensor.. since the last 20 years.
There was a horror movie that came out a year or two ago, involving haunted woods or somesuch, and I can't tell you anything more about the movie because all I could process was the fact that the 'forest' they showed was trees planted on like a 4 or 5 foot center, in perfect rows. Math says that's somewhere ~2000 trees per acre, which I think is the real horror story.

I'm not sure how you'd even log that. Every tree that dies is going to kill a few of its neighbors, until there are giant triangles of dead trees.
Take a look at temples. Look at Islamic temples and Hindu temples in particular.

Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Sri Ranganatha Swamy Temple, and Meenakshi Amman Temple. It's pretty obvious to me where their inspirations came from.

As far as your specific questions are concerned, I don't think this is the forum that is geared towards to these questions. You should look into mandalas, meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, mantras, etc.
'Molecular machines' is not an overstatement. Here's an example of some of them working in harmony to maintain an essential electrochemical gradient across the lipid bilayer that encapsulates the mitochondria:

It's a 7 minute video, if you only have a little time, skip around, but make sure you listen to the part starting at 6:17.

DNA isn't just the blueprint for the machine or the blueprint for the factory that makes the machine, it's the blueprint for the entire supply chain required to build and operate an entire chemical industry of mind-bending complexity. Like doubling grains of rice on each square of a checkerboard, if you wanted to create a complete catalog of all possible combinations of a string of DNA that's 150 base pairs long, you would have to marshal all of the estimated matter in the observable universe and you'd still end up short. Most of the genes that create these proteins are tens of thousands of base pairs in length and the entire human genome is ~3 billion.
Doesn't the network you connect to have certain level of privacy guarantees? Could you then not use the concept of a "network" to build a privacy sandbox?

For it to be aerodynamically stable you need the center of mass to be less than ~25% from one end. I don't think a Camry or Model S will do that, it will need stabilization fins.
London's Jubilee and Elizabeth lines were extremely complex and threaded through other subway lines and infrastructure. They too were on the drawing board for decades, and in the case of the Jubilee line, did not start until a new boring technique called the bentonite shield was invented. London should be in the same ballpark as New York but the article suggests it is 3-5x cheaper per mile.
tl;dr - The Pi 400 can take a 2.2 GHz (2200 MHz) overclock, whereas older Pi 4s could only go up to a maximum of 2.147 GHz (at least for now—that may just be a firmware limitation).

And the surprising result (for me) was that even after a couple hours of stress-testing the CPU, it didn't even come close to overheating, and the top surface stayed below 34°C, so it didn't turn into a little space heater for my fingers.

Anyways, I thought I'd add some data regarding the overclock, performance, thermals, and power consumption since a lot of people today have been asking about them.
I recently published a data dashboard(https://public.quantale.io/dashboards/50778f4a-02bb-4d31-b6e...) using Quantale[1] to show the correlation between Tweet activity of a stock vs the price during the recent stock split of Tesla and Apple.

While I believe there are softwares that can collect such data which can definitely be useful to hedge funds but at the same time we should note that the data available to general public is most probably something these hedge funds already have since they have spent years developing systems to gather and analyze data to stay ahead of the curve.

[1] Quantale (https://quantale.io/) is a data collection and analytics platform my company is developing.
Reading the title made me giggle--the 'P' in VPN is privacy.

You should really only use a VPN from a company whose main, top, only focus and business model is your privacy.
I'm not sure how close can it get, but ONLYOFFICE products have been good to me so far. AGLPv3, good docx / xlsx compatibility, free for personal and there are paid business plans.

They use Google Analytics though, boo.
Agreed, and you don't want the answer to those questions.

On a side note:

Its easy to understand why people believe in the whole mind control thing. It's just advertising and sometimes its people running "Debility, Dependency and Dread" on other people to re-train them without having an understanding of what "Debility, Dependency and Dread" really is. For some reason people have a difficult time making the logical leap that humans are mammals. Everyone wants to believe that we are better than all other mammals in a way that none of that is possible.
But systemd was never just an init system. AFAIK, systemd has always been advertised as a system and service manager for Linux. With that in mind it makes perfect sense that systemd manages what it does.

Whether or not such an architecture is desirable is debatable, but the portrayal of systemd as just an init system is a fundamental misunderstanding of what systemd is.
Absolutely. It’s one of those rare sites that I still enjoy “wandering around” on. It’s an archeological park of language and tattered remnants of stories.

I would pick a very specific niche (landscaping companies for high end architecture firms) or focus on local businesses in a category (architecture firms) and try to answer that question for myself. I'd connect with a few and ask them how they have done RFPs in the past and if they have any current projects open for bid.

The podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz did an episode on deepfake voices[1], which is my only real exposure to the audio side of this that I know about. Certainly wouldn't say it didn't work or was terrible.

This is 'Long Form Journalism'. The 'dip in, dip out' paragraph structure is a dead giveaway.

Not always what you're looking for but it can be a good way of cracking into a subject you're unfamiliar with, or a good way of merging the human element with something that would otherwise be quite dry.

I'm not sure this statement is generally true for Netflix's use case.

UDP provides no out of order packet handling which _needs_ to be handled for video streaming. UDP is by default unbuffered throughout transport and tends to cause greater stress to client systems since they need to respond per packet rather than per traffic stream (IP+port combo). As a client developer, you end up reimplementing 90-95% of what TCP gives you out of the box at great development and QA cost. You also drain battery on mobile devices with all the interrupts your causing doing UDP. The upside with a UDP-based implementation is the latency from server to client display is usually much less (tens of milliseconds vs hundreds to thousands), but the trade-offs involved are almost never worth it for a static media streaming site like Netflix.

Even dynamic media streaming sites like Twitch rarely dip into UDP server-client implementations unless there are some unusual requirements.

I've had great experience with T-Mobile 4G. It outperforms my wired Frontier connection in terms of both up/down speeds. Although it has been getting Spotty lately. During peak hours the speed drops significantly.
The first thing is asking if people continue to invest their time in new Google products.

Technically while you are correct that it should make no salary difference where workers choose to base themselves, unfortunately corporations and HR will use this as a sorting metric to pay qualified workers less because it's only to their advantage to do so.

While you'd think the worker would benefit from being more globally employable the companies conversely have a larger pool of candidates now to choose from, which means they can afford to pay less for talent.

Developing Microservice APIs with Python
Yes, this is mostly HN crowd or very specifically HN crowd last couple of years. Something happened at that time period, after that I have noticed HN became less insightful, less interesting and typical internet beating-the-dead-horse conversation. Every single day there would be at least few articles against Google. Even the articles that are not related to Google, people bring up Google and then start the whole beating-the-dead-horse charade again.
Unfortunately both California and can the contracting companies are opposed to this. Most companies are not interested in working with sole proprietorships due to the legal liability.
I led that team for a couple of years. A couple of the strongest and most prolific engineers I’ve ever worked with. Who comes back from a 3 day weekend with a 5k line diff to review, that adds dramatic improvements to the core system? Well, I saw that happen more than once while working with that team. (No we never asked them to work through the weekend)
A local start, given Netflix has real estate in LA: using these skills to develop better consumption services for unreliable internet users toward developing better tools for distance learning for LAUSD. Lots of students are falling behind thanks to issues with poor unreliable connectivity due to the expenses associated with having broad band internet. In march, 17% of LAUSD families had no internet at home. Today, more have bought internet plans, but given the job lossess suffered by the working poor, these are probably the cheapest internet packages available. Given how JS heavy these online education sites are, this is a poor experience for students who are already dealing with the stresses associated with being on the bottom of the economic totem pole in a high cost of living city.

Greetings HN,

I have been a professional contractor for the past 12+ years, and programming since I could reach a keyboard. This last year I've been grooming a business partner in order to make an attempt at moving up the value chain from "Software Engineer" to "Software Developer" (implying ownership of the results).

I believe we have developed a strong process, which puts a Lean spin on rigid PMI-style management. We describe it as moving slowly in the right direction over moving quickly in the wrong one.

We are looking to test this process of project management in the real world, possibly even for free, with early adopters willing to provide us quality feedback.

I apologise if this is seems spammy, or if this was not the right venue for this request.

Sincerely,
~ Constant Lurker, Occasional Poster

Pregnancy and post partum, women’s IQ falls. There is some neural plasticity tho’ and it’s easy to retrain mental skills to reawaken full span of intellectual capability. It’s not politically correct to say this but biologically, we have evolved to pay more attention to dangers to the baby than traits like memory retention/pattern matching/comprehension etc. The mother’s brain is primed to be on mama bear mode all the time.

Maybe it would be easy to work in an office environment but sitting exams is a whole diff ball game post partum.
Chasing the Pixel-Perfect Dream
i don't remember if it was something in particular that caused me to do it, but i de-googled the part that mattered the most. my email. i moved to fastmail with my own domain. a few years later i dropped android too. this way, google can't destroy my online life. it would be very painful to lose my email archive, and access to new emails from other services.

i don't need to de-google myself from search or youtube. they're read-only for me. i don't post videos to youtube. i do use the subscription feature on channels and sometimes create some private playlists, and i enjoy the recommendation sometimes finding me gems, but i could do wityout it, or even re-create it if needed. (all my subscriptions are backed up as pinboard bookmarks with tags)
