How so? It's a question in English about the English language on a primarily English website, so I would expect it to be about English, but I don't see how it is US-centric.
Why MERS was in 2009? Why not 2007 or 2001? Etc. The animals were there since millions of years.

This argument is bootless. Viral mutations and spread happen according to anomalous diffusion statistics that are inherently chaotic at outset.

For those who do not know what chaotic means, it is extremely sensitive to initial conditions. Most of which are actually unknowns. Risk is always there, but details are never initially predictable.
>>> drug detection dog in Illinois, alerted for narcotics 93 percent of the time during roadside sniffs, but was wrong in more than 40 percent of cases.

Wow - ignoring the point of the article, that still means police officers were pulling over people to search at better than 1 in 2. Cops were good enough to look at a car and get it right that often. I mean what are the odds of randomly pulling a car and getting drugs in it? 50:1? 20? 100?
This narrative about "aid" misses so much context that I it's almost the same as outright lying.

Most of this "aid" is military equipment that sits unused in warehouses, and it's point is job programs for US defense industry. The rest is investment in military R&D that US will have access to, and given how good Israel is at R&D in general, and military R&D in particular, ROI on it is quite high.
That's an interesting observation, that russians and dutch share this trait. I agree but think the russians often deliver their insults in a bit more veiled manner. They will use irony and sarcasm, making you have to figure out if you were just insulted or not. The dutch are more brute-force insulting. I enjoy being roasted by both ;)
The question is interesting, the blog post is pretty bad at answering though. I found wikipedia much more interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A#Typographic_variants
> "If you think SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in a lab, please unfollow me. "

You'd believe scientists should know better that it's not about "China is guilty, they should pay for their crime" at all but "Let' us understand the origins so that we might prepare and protect ourselves better for another pandemic outbreak."
Hmmm. What about the sensors on my phone? For a while now I've wanted to know my realtime speed in the underground sections of the local rail/metro network.

I suspect the most accurate measurements would be done using wideband SDR, iff I were able to acquire absolute position references for the signals I was seeing. Not likely, especially for something I might like to let others play with and/or generalize.

Everywhere I read about the subject the general consensus is that using accelerometer and gyro data from the average phone is a fool's errand. I have zero experience with the field so I wouldn't know if failure was incorrect signal processing or just had sensors.
I feel as though I was thinking about web applications for major companies and everyone else was thinking of software for built in electronics, which I agree is awful
Even if this is really true, does this actually translate to any measurable metric of success in the society? I'm not even comparing to the US, but to even the neighboring countries. It's not like I'm driving a Dutch car or sitting in a Dutch sofa..
The built in compass in a phone is pretty inaccurate for driving because it can't compensate for the unknown shape of the body shell of the car it's in.

> It's not completely "Biden's" policies (the federal reserve is not Biden) but inflation is being driven by much more then lack of computer chips. And to some extent it is deliberate.

It's not driven by the federal reserve because they filled up bank reserves and dropped interest rates a long time ago.

Biden is a factor because he is restoring consumer confidence but that alone isn't enough, it would only explain roughly 2-3% of the inflation numbers. The BLS CPI shows 2.4% inflation for food 25% for energy and 3% for everything else (apparently cars are a big driver of prices). Total inflation is 4.2%.

It's definitively related to the transportation industry. Having no chips to build new cars is clearly a bad thing and something weird is happening with gasoline.

This is not good in the short term but there is also absolutely no reason for it to remain like this in the long term. i.e. hyperinflation is a risky bet unless China or Russia attack semiconductor fabs or major oil suppliers
Totally OT : why do their voices sound so low. It's often the case, when I hear american-english speaking people on the internet, that they lower their voices to very deep tone, almost to the point I can't understand it anymore. In my language (french) this doesn't occur at all.
Main role of gluten in bread is to keep gas, usually CO_2 from yeasts, bacteria or baking powder, inside dough - so dought raises and when heated gas expands giving even more volume to (not only) bakery products.

Gluten do this by forming gluten net during dought mixing. Or even by mixing flour with water and waiting. So gluten is super good and almoust magical ingradient.

Real problem is that Western World started to abuse wheat flour after yeasts were discovered. You know, in older times "white bread" was mainly for rich peoples and poor peoples used flour with more chaff. But in last years chaff costs almoust same as flour :)

Celiac disease is only 1-2% population, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity is 5-6%. So that "harmful gluten" is a myth. But if you have some intolerance then gluten is very very toxic. And nothing wrong with skipping it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten

Rye flour contains some form of gluten but it do not form gluten net. But still can be toxic for ill peoples.

So, using wheat flour/gluten is simplest way to have bread that have nice volume. Other flours are good for pies or require to use cake mold.

As for why gluten is better for machines: when dought contain formed gluten net it make it elastic, a bit like gum. So it can be nicely formed. Dought also can be to strong with too much gluten - that require much more force for shaping.

Also with good gluten net dought can sustain longer period after forming and before baking, making it less time sensitive - bread do not get flat before there is free place in the stove/oven.

Show HN: I built a site to meet people near you and make friends
TL;dr: Reddit, but video based & only with people near you or say a meetup.com that runs 24x7 online.

Making new friends as an adult is hard. So, I built neartribe to help people find & connect with others online that live near them. The idea is to foster conversations online with people near them which can then hopefully lead to offline, real world friendships.

This is a chill video chat site with no agenda. Unlike other social medias there is no pressure to get followers, likes or view counts. Dial in whenever you have some time and talk to people near you about your hobbies.

How it works - As a user, you join a room where you will be connected with at most 9 people who live within xx miles of you.

Coming soon - Ability to create topics to streamline conversations (similar to subreddits) & reduce distance threshold to connect you to only people within 10 miles of you.

Please try it out & let me know what you think & any feedback on improvement or suggestions for features are more than welcome :)
>Trinitite takes its moniker from the nuclear test, named Trinity, in which the material was created in abundance (SN: 4/8/21). “You can still buy lots of it on eBay,” says geophysicist Terry Wallace, a coauthor of the study and emeritus director of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Somehow neutral directness of truth always gets mixed up as being equal to name-calling (e.g. "snowflakes"), but that isn't about bringing clarity at all; it's just attempting to lower another person or group in order to prop oneself up. The difference in language is subtle but they serve very different purposes.

Search ebay/etc for "EC/TDS meter", it's ~10 USD. Cheap ones do work, no worry. Keep your drain water at a stable EC, somewhere between 500 and 2500 uS/cm, and you're golden. If the drain water's EC is low, use irrigation water somewhat richer (+500..1000 uS/cm). Some tap water is already high on minerals, in that case use mainly nitrogen-rich solution.

Nah, these aren't matched albums. They're directly added from Apple Music. And that's the thing, the albums are fine!

For [1] and [3], I added the album to my library as you see them in the links you provided. Then one day—poof! Albums are mangled, songs have been pulled out into "singles", or I find a new "compilation/greatest hits" version of the album in my library with a subset of the songs, and another subset in the original. Now I have to find all loose tracks, delete them—if I can find them all—then re-add the complete album.

The deluxe version of [4] has an extended track list, but I didn't add that version to my library. Apple Music thought it'd be a great idea to add the deluxe version, and split tracks between both albums so neither version is complete.

It has all the traits of a perfect bio weapon. China is the only country that seems to be totally unaffected by it.

Far from helping out its neighbours it has tried to expand its territory. Any offer of help is more of an extortion.

I have no doubt that it is a controlled bioweapon.
How to Buy Chia (XCH) Token
I once tried getting a plastic sack of hydrogen to ignite -- it was basically impossible. Since the gas was not pressurized there was nothing to force the mixing with outside air, and whenever I managed to burn a hole in the bag, it would just burn slowly until it melted shut.

In the end I folded the bag around a military-grade flashbang (which has magnesium). That worked.

In my experience, getting to the car is the biggest hurdle. Say I need a vehicle to carry something I bought, I first need to take the train to pick up the car. Since I don't live in a central neighbourhood, this takes a while.

Availability isn't guaranteed. You can't plan that a car will be there, so you must make room for this uncertainty. You can't trust that there will be a car to drive to an appointment.

Rental services in my area are also optimised for short trips. If I want to cover more than 150 kilometres, they become prohibitively expensive. I can't rent those cars to go hiking or to visit people in another city.
Between Royal Dutch Shell (one of the world's biggest oil companies), LyondellBasell (one of the biggest petrochemical companies), and LDC (one of the biggest agriculture trading companies) you're almost certainly driving a car made with Dutch materials and sitting on a sofa made with Dutch-traded cotton fabric.
The short answer is experience. Buy some good quality soil and use it in your planters. Learn how the plants grow and thrive - if they slow growth or do not bloom as much it may be the weather or it may be because it's lacking nutrients. You can also simply give them some fertilizer. If it doesn't make much of a difference it was probably not needed.

If possible you should renew your soil, not be replacing it, but by mixing it with good manure or even just a bunch of leaves. I have experience with manure from rabbits and horses - both can be directly mixed with the earth.

The argument is that PGP with email is weak protection for multiple reasons: literally decades old cryptography, hard to use and easy to misuse, but most of all the very mail protocol mandates that some metadata remains in clear, and in practice most of it is easily available to third parties, first of which the servers hosting mail for me. As much as I want to see this ubiquitous protocol be used everywhere and get rid of the millions of chat protocols once and for all, that criticism is valid and requires at least a substantiated answer.

that would punish justice systems for making mistakes, which if they are an honest system they are already being punished for because of course a mistake is the system being inefficient.

The purpose of awarding damages for false arrests is to punish malicious false arrests, or mistakes so egregious that we might as well consider them malicious, which some systems are more prone to than others.

Yes, anyone with moderate technical skill can create their own crypto.

The real economic keys to the crypto marketplace are concentrated in the "exchanges".

Exchanges are market makers who set prices for crypto but in some cases they are also engaged in minting new crypto --- an inherent conflict of interest and incredible opportunity for manipulation that undermines the integrity of the entire crypto marketplace in my opinion.
You’re correct. The more aggressive version of this is called “move pruning”, effectively cutting off entire branches of the search tree. Techniques like this are essential for the strength of modern chess engines, but like every heuristic, they can be wrong. Sometimes, the engine makes a mistake because it literally didn’t consider a certain response.

The probably easiest plants to grow for an absolute beginner may be salads like arugula or herbs like bazil and mint. If you have good soil and enough moisture, mint will be very difficult to stop from growing. Once I planted mint into a pot that I placed into the bed to separate it from the other herbs. It broke through the walls of the pot and gave me a great example of exponential growth.
