The companies that provide cleaning services in Windsor may not prove helpful for de-cluttering the wardrobes so it is better to do such things alone. Some home-made liquids really prove hard to make and ultimately households end up creating a mess. Domestic cleaning in Slough can become easier with the tips that experts usually follow in their homes. So, let’s explore what you really need to learn.

Hey, Elena, Emeli, congrats with the launch! Question- am I right, that you don't "dictate" specific monitoring infrastructure? You provide a tool that can take a model and calculate/plot certain important characteristic about it( (e.g. drift)? Do you have a plan to make connectors, templates, some additional infrastructure to simplify integration with Grafana? What other monitoring infrastructure tools you consider integrating?
America's Failing Schools
I can’t speak for anyone besides myself, but growing inequality implies more poverty (more poor people, poor people get poorer, etc). So if poverty begets crime and (growing) inequality begets poverty, then inequality begets crime. There may also be other vectors through which inequality begets crime as well.

Maybe it’s possible to have a kind of inequality where the rich get richer without the poor getting poorer (although I suspect it would just mean that the purchasing power of a dollar falls even though the poor have as many dollars as they had before) but in practice in America I think we have the kind of inequality where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer (and more numerous).
Just a not so recent news from the rust compiler:

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/05/10/Rust-1.52.1.html

"The Rust team has prepared a new release, 1.52.1, working around a bug in incremental compilation which was made into a compiler error in 1.52.0. We recommend all Rust users, including those currently using stable versions prior to 1.52.0, upgrade to 1.52.1 or disable incremental compilation. Guidance on how to do so is available below."

Is this mature enough to be bring in the kernel ????

I find authentication the least problematic place where risk based on ip is used. Etsy, for example, will suspend your seller account if it sees too many logins from different IPs or if it's from an IP it has flagged before. It also has terrible seller customer service so it could take weeks to get it un-suspended. Heard of some people using Private Relay getting hit by this during the beta so hopefully Etsy gets rid of that system.

I think their approach is pretty sane - I don't know if it started out that way, but 'opt in only' seems like the defaults we want. But like parental responsibility, that's aside from the main point.

The fact that they are collecting this data now subjects them to COPPA requirements, thus the restriction to people over 13. If they hadn't started collecting data, they would not have had to comply with that restriction.

That many cars seem undesirable in urban areas (or anywhere, really, but let's not go there).

From a bit of quick searching, EV battery packs are roughly the same volume as a fridge, and weigh in around 300kg (that was a Nissan Leaf specifically, but I assume others are similar). I don't have enough room for a fridge sized battery in my house. It'd be nice if they could shrink a bit. With enough capacity to run a tankless water heater for the duration of a nice, hot shower. The battery can charge slowly whenever power is abundant.

The grid doesn't care about running a bunch of laptops. But a bunch of tankless water heaters quickly add up. Having a local buffer really makes sense there.

Nearly all programmers get locked into thinking in terms of sequential, imperative programming, and the big differences are procedural vs OOP. They think that's always what programming looks like. They never learn to think in any other terms. They think functional programming is a weird outlier and looks like Lisp.

It's not entirely their fault. This is all they're typically taught in school. They're taught they don't need to think any other way than how Java, C, or C# tells them they should.

So they're not used to thinking in terms of sets. They're not used to declarative programming. Indeed, they'll often argue that anything other than general purpose, imperative programming isn't "real" programming. That's why Professor Brailsford from Computerphile got so much flack for saying that HTML was a programming language.
Big pharma is not the main driver of ketamine use for treating depression right now, as it's no longer patented so nearly as profitable for pharmaceutical companies. There is a newly patented ketamine derivative called esketamine that is making inroads in to depression treatment, but plain old ketamine is still used quite a lot.

There are a couple of drivers of ketamine's popularity for treating depression:

First, it actually seems to work astonishingly well for a lot of people (certainly way better than standard antidepressants), though not for everyone.

Second, it's a big money grab for ketamine "therapists" (I use "therapists" in quotes because many of them just sit around while you get your injection, and don't actually provide much if any therapy) who can charge $500 or more per treatment (which usually isn't covered by insurance), and people often come back for treatment multiple times a week or month for long periods of time. The cost of ketamine itself in these treatments is negligible.

An interesting development in ketamine therapy is the use of ketamine lozenges, which patients can take at home and therefore are way cheaper than having a medical team inject you with ketamine in their office.
Apples been doing that for yeaaars, especially with mobile devices (not that that's news to you)

Anecdote: I had an iPad pro I put in a drawer for a while. I had it synced to an apple account from my old job (used my corporate email for it).

When I took it out after I moved jobs, it became permanently locked with no recourse because I didn't have access to the email anymore.

And there was no way to factrory reset it, so it became as useful as a coaster. Really pushed me away from mobile apple devices...

"Not sure what a cold basement has to do with it? You suck in air from outside, extract the energy, and blow out colder air."

The water heaters I saw were not running ducts to the outside, they use the room air. The point is that heat pump efficiency is tied to the ambient temperature. The hotter the air, the easier it is to collect the heat from it. So when it gets cold enough the "emergency" or "auxiliary" heating coil starts to be used (resistance based). This is very common in cold climates. My house heat pump auxiliary tends to kick in when the tempature gets below 40. This would also apply to water heaters if using outside air than the warmer basement air. Of course you are heating that basement air with another source, so that efficiency should be evaluated too (likely a heat pump because if you have a gas furnace, one would be likely to have a gas water heater too).

"It's not controlled by any cloud. You can regulate on the control panel how and when you want it to run and it adapts with the weather too if you want."

The proposal in the article is that smart water heaters could be controlled by the utility companies.

"It is then used for heating the house via radiators as well as for warm tap/shower water."

That is one type of system. The article is talking the US, in which the type of system you describe is relatively rare. The 10 million annual water heaters they reference are overwhelmingly used just for tap/shower water.

I lived in multiple deep red communities in multiple red states while working as a military contractor. The warfighters I worked with were absolutely phenomenal but the broader cities and towns around were a poor culture fit for me. (To be clear, my neighbors were all very nice people, it was just the culture fit compared to purple/blue areas I've lived in.)

I'd suggest that if someone is more than a couple of queer, atheist, racial minority, vegetarian, cyclist, artist, nerdy, career-oriented female, etc then they may find it even more challenging to fit in.

It's worth looking carefully at any community before moving in, but it's worth looking especially carefully before moving to a deep red area in a red state.

(Or vice-versa if you're a religious conservative -- you might find a dark blue community in a blue state a poor fit.)

>>It is really only since the industrial revolution that we have become crazy-reliant on tech

"Tech" is a fairly undefined word, and we subconsciously draw lines where it makes sense / suits us. I will however postulate that:

1. Yes, humans spent a lot of time without technology; but it sucked and we died and suffered a lot

2. Technology isn't just iPhones - it's fire and clothes and clean water and toilets.

I don't know if this is a self-evident or hugely controversial or even politically incorrect thought, but hoping I'm in safe-enough space to explore it: I wonder how much of very definition of "human/humanity" has to do with tools we use.

I think cash is good alternative. No data collection, no surprises, just learn to count the chance you receive back and you're good.

In my experience it is dangerous to go more than a day without electrolyte and multivitamin supplementation.

Do you actually get unlimited data? In the US, we have "unlimited" plans that are only "unlimited" until you hit the limit of a few GB per month. After that, I can still technically get data, but at extremely limited speeds.

It always seemed like calling it "unlimited" was just boldly lying, especially when the limits are there in the fine print.
>first time in human history that AI video cameras have been widely deployed, inside private homes, for the purpose of enforcing laws

Knowingly maybe. But all those IP Cameras have had face detection for almost a decade, They've been deployed extensively in homes around the world, They've been phoning to their home to provide even basic features or at least the DDNS based features and are riddled with vulnerabilities.

One could use firewall, custom firmware to fix this to an extent but not everyone has the means or intention to do it.

> The head of state is the leader of the country. They [..] typically are in control of the military.

This isn't true, at least in Western states. E.g in the Netherlands and Germany the king and the President respectively are head of state, but neither of them controls the military, which is done by respectively the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.

It's really hard to make a universal definition for heads of state and government, since they fulfill different roles in forms of government. However, generally, the head of state is a more ceremonial role while the head of government actually governs. But there are exceptions.

There’s people that really don’t like some of that and will go where their lives feel less restricted.

I remember installing Oberon in about ‘97 in a quest to explore something esoteric and as different from Windows as I could get. Actually tried to use it and work through the tutorials and write “gadgets”. Coming from a turbo pascal and then Delphi background, oberon was lovely!

But even then it was a what-could-have-been. Now, twenty five years after that, it still has the mystique of a somehow more powerful feeling system. I stare at it and feel it is somehow more powerful than the mundane electron apps today, even though I know what simple principles and how little code underlies it, and how comparatively complicated and byzantine those dumb modern electron apps are.

This seems interesting, but I lack context. Can someone ELI5? Or maybe more like 'Explain Like I'm a CS Undergrad' (ELICSUG?).
Well, my suggestion is kind of aiming to be as pragmatic and unambitious as possible, so the fact it doesn't have an effect against giants who spend a lot of money on security is part of the pragmatism - it means you split the opposition a bill like this would face. The big companies would see it as a way to expand their moat, and so, they'd probably lobby for it, or at least, you could convince them not to lobby against it.

If you can build a big coalition of people for whom privacy is something important, then you can start making ambitious policy proposals because you'll have the voters to back it up. Before that point, I think you have to try for easy wins.

In our attention economy, the choice of what to show and not show are equally important. It's trivial to crowd out opposing opinions, no censorship needed.

Who controls that algorithm? Certainly not us.

Most of the pearl clutching over censorship, "cancel culture", blah blah blah would be resolved today by restoring the fairness doctrine (equal time).

Before SQL/92, you would exclusively use the where clause. Here's an example of a left join:

In several states with such a semi-presidential system, if the prime minister and the president are oppositional, the prime minister will take primary responsibility for more domestic matters like education and health, whereas the president will take primary responsibility for most national/international matters like trade, the economy and foreign affairs. When the president and the prime minister are allied, the president often takes the lead on most matters.

I have never seen a semi-presidential federation, and my intuition has become that in a semi-presidential system, the president is holds the responsibilities of a prime minister/president of a federal government, whereas the prime minister is holds the responsibilities normally given to the premier/governor of state - as if there's only a single state and a single legislature for the state and the federation. Of course, as with federations, the exact boundaries will depend on the country concerned.

Whether Haiti works that way, I cannot say.

So, clicking on what is (at the moment) the top "latest news" item on the front page - Scoop: Trump to sue Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey - actually yields an article from yesterday: At least a third of GOP midterm candidates have pushed Trump's election lie.

In this case, the "Trump to sue" article can be reached by clicking on North America had its hottest June on record, with the url [1]

This, and other seemingly random, link behaviour has been happening (for me) on every front-page item for the last hour or so.

In general, head of state is more ceremonial and has less power, but there are so many exceptions that making a rule of thumb is tough because it varies so much state-by-state.

In the US, head of state and head of gov are the same (the President).

In Russia, the head of state is Putin. He's not officially head of gov, but c'mon, we all know who controls the show there.

In Canada, the Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II. But for all practical purposes, Justin Trudeau holds both rows. It's not like the Queen is handling Canada's foreign policy. She technically has the power to dissolve Canada's parliament, but it would be hard to imagine her exercising this power. When foreign leaders visit Canada, they aren't going to see the Queen, whereas they might if they visit the UK.
In Great Britain at least the Prime Minister frequently meets with other heads of state, e.g., Churchill meeting with Roosevelt. Of course the monarch is the head of the state in Great Britain and she does meet with other heads of state as well, but it seems less clear-cut than you describe? Is this a peculiarity of Britain? Or does “head of state” imply a sort of figurehead position?
You're discussing how to handle false positives.. but maybe not everyone has the same tolerance for dealing with false negatives.
