The Earth is not only unique in the solar system. We are located in a radioactively calm corner of the Milky Way, in a single-star system (not that common) with planets rotating in stable, non-intersecting orbits. And that's just the beginning of the factors that make the Earth so unique.

So the next time you take that sip of coffee in the morning, just know that you can't do that for millions of light years around you - or maybe anywhere.

Your access to care is the result of the direct primary care model not your NP necessarily. Your NP might be good, but I'm willing to bet on average the people who have a minimum of 15,000 hours of clinical training (MDs/DOs) before independent practice are more competent than the ones who only are required to get 500.

More motivated? Why wasn't she more motivated to go to school for four years, get in-depth training in residency, and become an expert in her field rather than taking the easy "route" to practice "medicine"? I guarantee the IM docs and surgeons slugging it for 80+hour work weeks in residency to become experts are more dedicated and motivated to care for patients than the NPs who train part-time and online.

Love this.

One level up from eyes, you can just look at the geological record to observe climate change and CO2. CO2 goes up, place gets hot. No need for models.

You only need fancy models if you're trying to get super precise about when changes will occur, like less than 100 years precise.
This is great! I've been fascinated with tiling historical maps for quite some time. In fact, I made a very similar (but far less advanced) site focusing primarily on historical USGS maps of the SF Bay Area [0].

I'm curious about this:

> To get around this, I apply a "hack" to the MosaicJSON format. Instead of just encoding a URL string, I encode the url and the bounds of the map as a JSON string.

In my effort I struggled to automatically assemble bounds from tilted and angled scans. Is this source data set clean enough to make simpler assumptions, or did you also devise a way to automatically determine the map boundaries within the scan?

Because relatively it impacts non-men more. Anyone interested in privacy would point it out, but not everyone has incentives to think about privacy in every situation.
The problem of scattered attention is one that philosophers have been pointing to since thousands of years. Most practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga help primarily with more conscious attention management. That attention is scattered/captured is not new. What it gets captured by probably changes every decade.

I dislike seeing ads, especially when they are poorly or intentionally designed to block you from doing what you came to site for. And I do have a concern about the amount of detail these companies end up accruing about a user and its implications. I also get distracted by them - but only when I don't have an intention or strong need to focus on the task at hand.

This does not make me think that ads themselves or the model itself is fundamentally bad. A model, ultimately is, as good or bad as its implementation. GMail, Google Maps, Android are some of the things that have changed the landscape in significant and positive ways, and all of them were made possible by ad tech.

Modern public school systems have close ties to law enforcement. What used to be children acting like... children, is now rigorously tried in the justice system by DAs who will do anything to "win."

The public school to prison pipeline is real. None of my children have or will go to public school. It's worthless at its best. It's life ruining at its worst. This is only one example of public schools flaunting how petty and stupid they are.

With so many (mainstream) eyes on the public web these days this was bound to happen.

The wild west of the (pre) 200x's may be coming to an end but stuff will prevail in darknet and private archives or outside western jurisdictions, and continue to spread from there. (It's easy to forget the non-English internet exists too!)

Alternatively we might end up with a more or less mild variant of a "web in chains" (analogous to https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20201014-totalitarian-wor...), that's characterized by a highly siloed and prefiltered/fabricated flow of information.

Powerful (gov + big tech) forces push this way for some time now; OTOH I believe the internet remains a difficult beast to tame as long as control doesn't reach China levels.

Also, archive shit, because the internet does forget.

> and prefer hardware with replaceable storage like M.2 slots.

I'm not sure how that would have accomplished anything (except a smaller repair bill, but that was footed by the warranty) in this story: either the logic board died and since the storage is encrypted at rest with the key stored in the Secure Enclave, the data is not recoverable; and if the storage is dead, well, the data is gone. Either way the data is as good as gone.

So either way, one lesson. Backup. Twice.

(Also, a brand new laptop has just as much chance of being stolen or suffering water damage or mistaken file erasure or a thousand other things that would destroy the data. Two months without backup is lunacy)
If ads were simply “paying with attention” like in the 90s, generally people wouldn’t mind as much.

> The CPU / System is simply not designed for these type of usage. Especially with zero cooling.

While I agree that consumer hardware in general and laptops in particular aren't designed for this usage, internal overheating should never be the cause for catastrophic failure.

A system should be designed to throttle down or shut down before risking permanent damage. Should this be a heat related problem, I'd consider it a design flaw.

Degraded performance is acceptable, permanent damage to non-replaceable internal hardware isn't.

> Apple needs to sell an official Time Capsule and Make Encrypted Backup to iCloud as option for Offline Backup.

Not going to happen. Since they disbanded the router team 3 years ago, there's zero chance of a Time Capsule product coming back anytime soon.

They want customers to use iCloud and I think that's the better option for most users. People like the person in this blog are professionals and should use professional backup solutions (whether offline or online).
Mostly the latter. Happy Holidays isn't about excluding Christmas and Christians. It's acknowledging that there are multiple religious celebrations in similar spirit going on around the same time.

In addition to all the other (excellent!) sibling replies, I’d like to add that there are some cases in which audio is impractical. e.g. I often see reference grammars of obscure languages use IPA transcription, especially when there is no standard orthography and the language uses a lot of unusual sounds. In those cases, IPA is often the only feasible option.

200GB cache, working on internal 1TB SSD, huge video files and the OS all on 1TB SSD ( which might be questionable quality endurance wise ). This is just asking for disaster. I suspect that the SSD had just reached the limit on total bytes written and went belly up.

Not having backup is a cherry on top. People just literally asking for disaster to happen. Curious why Medium even bother with publishing articles like this.

I wasn’t really aware of the IPA, is this mostly used for teaching purposes when learning a new language?

As far as people learning English as a second language it seems like one of the biggest hurdles is learning all the ‘exceptions’. Especially for people coming from languages where all vowels only have one pronunciation.

English pronunciations are so flexible & varied that it must be frustrating. There are so many words that you just have to learn individually through repetition, since they don’t follow the ‘framework’ of the base pronunciation rules.

Everyone understands the deal with Apple hardware. No one ever thought you could pull out the SSD and stick it in another device. No one is surprised by this reality. No one planned around doing that unless they were profoundly ignorant.

If the T2 failed (it is now integrated right into the M1, so any failure of the mainboard), the data is gone. Everyone should know that by now.

So he went in with his scheme regardless of that. And his work had so little value that if his laptop were stolen, if a single rank of the storage failed, etc, he'd be in the same situation.

He lost data because he was careless in the same foolish way that we read about so often. But people get to beat their ridiculous anti-Apple drums, so here we are.

"OS X does board-locked enclave-managed storage because iOS does board-locked enclave-managed storage"

This is boorish noise. Apple does it because it provides strong storage encryption while imposing no performance or usability problems. You like something better - good for you. I don't. I have zero issues with this reality.

"I lost all my data!" stories are ridiculous nonsense 99% of the time, and this isn't in the 1%.
The technology to prevent wildfires is controlled burns. The Ohlone indians would regularly do controlled burns, reducing the density of trees by 90%. A combination of anti-controlled burn mentality, building expensive homes in forested areas, and an antipathy to "greedy loggers" has turned California into a tinderbox waiting to go off.

The state needs to liquidate 90% of its forests ASAP, because reducing carbon emissions and blaming political enemies aint gonna turn California into a tropical climate. It's an arid state prone to hundred-year droughts, and it's not the place where you want to see lots of trees, not unless you also enjoy seeing the occasional massive wall of flame devouring the countryside.
True, and the rest of that comment is:

> but they're still treated by Apple as the bastard cousins of "real" iPhone apps.

So no change in tone since 2010, which is exactly my point:

> It was and is still compatible with Apple's walled garden approach.
> It’s all encrypted, tied to the hardware.

And that's a terrible idea to begin with. Yes, encryption is a good thing. But it's only good as long as it's not tied to a particular piece of hardware against user's will. You should be able to remove an SSD from a dead laptop and plug it into a working one, and, after entering the correct password, be able to access it. Apple seems to view this exact scenario as an attack for some reason.
If existing regulations already solved the issues, then you wouldn't see existing ISPs giving unlimited data as long as you are using their special pet services or partner services.

We use a lot of water growing nuts in California.

From 2015: https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/01/almonds-nuts...

"it takes about a gallon of water to grow one almond, and nearly five gallons to produce a walnut. Residents across the state are being told to take shorter showers and stop watering their lawns, but the acreage devoted to the state’s almond orchards have doubled in the past decade. The amount of water that California uses annually to produce almond exports would provide water for all Los Angeles homes and businesses for almost three years."
The problem I see with this heuristic is that it is going to give false positives for, well, the vast majority of cases where there's a supposedly new idea that actually is just an unnecessary rehash or combination of things that already exist but with a new coat of paint. I don't see how the heuristic can possibly have any predictive power. Look at pretty much every tech startup, every get-rich-quick scheme, every cryptocurrency project, etc. and they'll be making grand claims that their idea is groundbreaking, and technical people are going to say "couldn't you just x?" or "isn't this worse than the existing x?" and those dismissals are actually going to be reasonable and proven valid in the overwhelming majority of cases. Of course, your heuristic will also catch the tiny number of cases that do turn out to be groundbreaking (or at least extremely successful or popular).
I think people are focusing on the outcome rather than the crime. It's irrelevant whether they were successful, it goes into criminality when a criminal act is actually acted upon, not whether it was successful. It's not illegal to sell hammers, but when you pull out that hammer to hit someone over the head with it, it becomes a crime. Whether or not you actually connected with that other party's head doesn't make the attempt any less criminal.
The difference is that they're not localized. It's only local hidden variables that are forbidden by theory.

One way to look at it is that every one of those pieces of configuration space apply to all of space and all of time. That's not forbidden. But it also means that these values aren't directly accessible. They can only be partially inferred.
Put bluntly: We live in a world that success is most often, and routinely, measured in currency. If a company can't convert users into direct paying customers (e.g., I give them money, they give me a service, not talking about ads means you the product type customer) in one way or another, they may instead either turn the customer into the product (ads, for instance) or seek profitable partnerships to sustain the organization and themselves

I can't always blame them, really, families need to be fed, people need to feel like it's worth it, and so on. In so many ways, it really does suck because I feel like it stifles innovative ideas, particularly ones that need long term execution. Look at Redis and licensing, it's the same thing, really, in terms of struggle.

If we had a separate way for engineers / companies to fall back where they did not have to worry about this in the same way, then I believe this wouldn't happen the same way, if at all, in many of these circumstances.

You’re arguing against a straw man, or at best an extreme minority viewpoint.

Given the history of the United States, wherein there existed both legal and extralegal forms of racial discrimination, the primary assertion is that while the obvious forms of racial discrimination have been abolished, there continue be forms of systematic racial discrimination. These people assert that this is a bad thing and it should be corrected. This is not about bringing about a utopia, but about righting a wrong.

None of this is “totalizing”. Indeed, even in the past, during slavery and Jim Crow, you had examples of successful black people and other POC (Web Debois, Fredrick Douglass). The argument is simply that POC face barriers that white people simply don’t face, not that those barriers are impossible to overcome.
You still need to back that drive up.

It’s not a question of if it will fail, just when. If you want that data tomorrow, run an automatic, continuous backup solution.
I tend to agree with you. If water is precious then why is it so cheap? The avg family uses thousands of gallons a month. It's difficult to get people at current prices to stop wasting water. California farmers pay an average of $70 per acre-foot for water to irrigate crops (326,000 gallons) I live in an apt in California that doesn't even meter it. I can use all I want and the price is included in the rent. We have to get out of this mindset that water is a free gift from the sky and start pricing it in such a way that solutions to shortages become cost effective to implement.
That’s really cool. Is there a way to, in my case, switch from iPhone to PC and back pretty simply or is it a matter of syncing?
