I run a cloud SaaS company (3 employees). If I had the skillset that it sounds like you do, I might be inclined to hose on bare metal. But I don't. I don't know what a 1U dual socket server is.

It would take me some time to build these skills, and to match the agility that the cloud offers. I don't think it's worth my time, and probably not the author's time, either.

[..]Currently, about 2 percent of the Indian population is occasionally exposed to extreme wet-bulb temperatures (between 89 and 94 degrees). According to a 2017 study, by 2100 that number could increase to 70 percent. [..]

https://scroll.in/article/931865/the-human-body-cant-cope-in... : Human body can’t cope infinitely with rising temperatures – and in India, it is close to its limits
At a certain temperature, sweat stops evaporating – shutting down the body's cooling mechanism, causing death. Parts of the world are already there.

When the air temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius, the body relies on the evaporation of water – mainly through sweating – to keep core temperature at a safe level. This system works until what is called the wet-bulb temperature reaches 35 degrees Celsius. The wet-bulb temperature includes the cooling effect of water evaporating from the thermometer and so is normally much lower than the normal dry-bulb temperature reported in weather forecasts.

Once this wet-bulb temperature threshold is crossed, the air is so full of water vapour that sweat no longer evaporates. Without the means to dissipate heat, our core temperature rises, irrespective of how much water we drink, how much shade we seek, or how much rest we take. Without respite, death follows – soonest for the very young, elderly or those with pre-existing medical conditions.

Wet-bulb temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius have not yet been widely reported, but there is some evidence that they are starting to occur in South West Asia. Climate change then offers the prospect that some of the most densely populated regions on Earth could pass this threshold by the end of the century, with the Persian Gulf, South Asia and most recently the North China Plain on the front line. These regions are, together, home to billions of people.[...]
Sad to say but I am still using Keybase. The only part that keeps me on using Keybase is because I love the KBFS (File Storage), Chat, and the Keybase.pub (Static Hosting HTML and Markdown) sample: https://coffeekitkat.keybase.pub/blog/env-vars-in-vue

The moment of Zoom acquisition, I barely used Keybase and started to research about alternatives, but I haven't found one that can match or have better quality than Keybase if ever I've found something good I might say goodbye to Keybase.

You can still use the platform if you find it really useful specially the Chat feature of it, but always be cautious. I personally have doubts and trust issues towards Zoom.

Keybase is great, but a full alternative is needed.

Pig facial recognition works in a similar way to human facial recognition, recording details of the pig’s eyes, ears, snout and bristles. Like humans, pigs do not all look alike! Audio recognition detect symptoms such as coughing and breathing difficulties while infra-red technology is used to detect the pig’s temperature. In addition to identifying the pig, the facial recognition camera also monitors the pig’s movements and can detect whether the pig is becoming lethargic or not eating. Each pig has its own archive file, which includes key details such as its age, weight, breed, exercise frequency and its feeding habits, often a good indicator of a pig’s health.

It's actually quite common for Swedes to travel abroad in the EU to study medicine since the entry-requirements to our national medicine programs require very high scores on the high school degrees or aptitude tests (University while free only has limited number of spots assigned out to the best students. If memory serves me right even with a max score on the aptitude test, reserved to some 0.3-0.5% of the test-takers, you will still be put in a lottery pool for the best medschools).

Law degrees might be harder to transfer generally though (easy to transfer in the Nordics at least iirc) but even in the US you need to take the bar in different states, so maybe that part isn't too different anyhow?

Actually, Might become easier in the EU in the future now that post-brexit there isn't any common law countries within the union and with mostly civil law systems it should be easier to unify principles in some sections of the law.

The trap-neuter-return programs are intended to maintain populations of stray animals. This is particularly important in the case of cats. Why? Because cats are an introduced predator with the ability to drive large numbers of bird and other small prey animal species to extinction.

Since we are the ones who introduced cats in the first place, we are responsible for the consequences. Violating the bodily autonomy of individual cats is a small price to pay to avoid a population explosion that would ultimately result in the large scale killing of countless birds and other small animals.

I think the vaccine story has specific aspects for why it spread, not simply YouTube exposure. It provides good anecdotes, because many people get vaccinated and many people get randomly sick. So almost everybody knows an anecdote from somebody who got severely sick after vaccination.

It takes basic knowledge of statistics to verify that those things are just random correlations, not causation (show that incidence of certain afflictions (like autism) is the same among vaccinated and non-vaccinated people). That is what the memes feed from. I don't think censoring would help much here, especially as most people know such stories personally. I don't know people directly, but I know people who know people who got sick after vaccination. I suspect many others do, too.

Granted, anecdotes spread especially well on Social Media. It works the other way round, too. Have you heard a story of somebody who almost died, or died, from Covid, despite being young and healthy? Such incidents are very rare, but since they get shared a lot, one such personal report may be shared by thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. every one of them now feels like they "know" somebody who died from Covid despite of being young and healthy.

Should such stories also be banned, to ease the psychological burden (fear) on billions of people?

Hi Nick! Nice to see you here, and thanks for the great chat :)
Your broad point seems to be problem will fix itself, but that's not very illuminating. Self correction spans the spectrum of manageable to disastrous. Carry capacity / resource availability has temporal element and is not stable, allocation today may not be sustainable or available tomorrow. Mismanaged environmental cycles means feast or famine i.e. fisheries / soil poorly managed and becomes increasingly unproductive or oil / water reserves tapped faster than new discoveries or replenishment. Disaster when you cannot efficiently distribute what's no longer there due to poor planning and foresight. Self correction could be preemptive population management or feast or famine cycles. One is more preferable than other for stable society. IMO free market is not capable of planning on such long timelines. Some problems become sufficiently large and long spanning that only state can handle, i.e. national defense is state directed, even if frequently poorly optimized in terms of resource allocation. Private military / industry could exist under free market but works within superstructure set by state.

That $144 would have been for a single two-day test.

Anyway, getting caught up in specific remediations that could have prevented this is beside the point. For development you want a safe testing environment because mistakes, gaps, misunderstandings, bugs are a fundamental part of it. The entire point of tests and testing environments is to discover the problems you know exist but need to test to find.
> consensus is that you can steal intellectual property

There isn't even consensus around the legitimacy of the notion of intellectual property (I'm happy to represent the position that it is not legitimate), let alone the notion that it's proper to use the same word that we use for larceny of physical objects to describe copying it.

In any case, this isn't an intellectual property issue, but a privacy issue. The question is whether this data was properly being kept private, or whether it belongs in the public domain in the first place. There doesn't appear to have been any announcement of what data was accessed, so it doesn't seem to be something we can know at this time.

Thank you!

> but I could have easily just not understood a similar option in PiMusicBox

No, you are right, we never had that feature. It would have been the next step if the project was healthy. Or Spotify Connect, of course (although less interesting personally as we'd have to stop using Mopidy).

I had thoughts of a reboot which was much more focused around multi-room (using snapcast or the equally impressive looking SoundSync) but I looked around at Volumio, HiFiberryOS etc and didn't think I'd be bringing anything new to the table so why fragment the space. Perhaps something built around SoundSync would be interesting as that would provide Chromecast support but I am not sure that on it's own is enough. Plus the idea of my USP being something as locked-down as Google's Chromecast is unpleasant.

Also, this might sound bad, but I would like to head away from a project that is too focused on inexperienced users. The support gets too much and you very rarely get any contributions back.

Nice job.

I just realized, would Elixir be the perfect platform for this since you could have a GenServer process that has a constantly alive IMAP connection for each server?

I'm not sure if this API is initiating an IMAP connection each time you request something, but keeping that connection alive could be really interesting.

Also can you use a regular connection pooling library to do this?

Or am I imagining a problem that doesn't exist? (overhead of reconnecting to IMAP server for each request)

The advantage from the users perspective is less scary permission nag screens, and if Google's word is to be believed, improved performance from manifest v3-based adblockers.

That seems to me like it is more than enough opportunity for v3-based blockers to compete with v2-based blockers if they really are better for the user as Google claims. Meanwhile v2-based blockers can continue to compete based on their increased capabilities compared to v3-based blockers, and uses can decide what their own needs are.

It’s not accurate though (see other comments). The one I’m amazed by is the assertion that “ The supermarket pays for everything on its store shelves (except, rarely, for certain new products on a consignment basis in which case it only sales for units actually sold)” which is leaving a lot of money off the table

Supermarkets might pay for the product, but Kellogg’s, Budweiser, etc pay them for shelf space, eye level, end of aisle placement, etc. there is a dozen ways they make money off the sellers. Supermarkets don’t just pay for product as a textbook marketplace
Yeah but at least partly because it's probably untrue.
How about Covid-19 Pfizer or Moderna vaccine? Can we discuss that? Or we have to accept that it is great because it is great?

Is it allowed to cite Pfizer that in the III tests phase it applied vaccine or placebo to 43 000 people out of which 170 developed COVID-19 - 162 in placebo group and 8 among those vaccinated.

On that base vaccine producer claim that they achieved 95% effectiveness. Can we doubt that number because of the small number of people who developed disease? Is that fact somehow proves that Covid is not that infectious as people thought? And so on.

Should we believe Swiss regulator who refused to accept vaccine? Or maybe Swiss regulator did that since some Swiss company is working on the vaccine?

Can we ask if taking vaccine makes someone non-spreader of the virus? Can we ask if it was tested on older people, people who take a lot of other medicines (like many older people do)? Is seems that people with allergies (what?) should not take vaccine. Was this even testes?

There are many pros and cons and doubts, the evidences is one thing, the conclusions might be different.

Same with election case. Was there at least one case when we have a prove that election result was manipulated? I think at least one can be found. Why can't this be discussed?

I personally think that alone European countries have zero chances to survive this century without becoming either American, Russian or Chinese puppets. Countries like the UK and France are still riding what's left of centuries of influence and prestige on world affairs, but the last 7 decades quite clearly show that single countries can't defend themselves and their democracies from foreign interests without cooperation. It's also quite clear to me that the European economy is so integrated that's almost ridiculous to think that every country could be free to do as it pleases, because if for instance Italy fails, then all of Europe fails.

That's why I think we need more integration; to me, the freedom and security of European citizens is synonymous with European cooperation and integration. Together, we've one of the biggest armies and economies of the world, and we stand a chance to mean something on the world stage. This doesn't mean that the current EU is necessarily the right way to achieve this; ironically, I think most of its issues arise from the fact it is not powerful enough, and single states have too much sway in how the union operates, similar to how the USA were when the first Articles of Confederation were written in the XVIII century.
So we should just give up on democracy because most people are too stupid to understand it.

That makes a lot of sense.
