Moving to cable-less is a good idea, but these chargers and batteries themselves still need to be plugged into something. I guess that should be USB-C, but USB-C confuses people. Perhaps Apple should move to some kind of solid-state approach like docks built for certain situations (home, travel, car). Abstracting away "plugging in" as much as possible.
Having helped manage a Kafka cluster, I do not want to run a Kafka cluster just so that Microsoft Teams can webhook me events now and then.
You were able to say the same about beanie babies. Bitcoin could lose trust in it at any time. There’s hardly an intrinsic use in a Bitcoin and there’s also hardly any demand for it except as a gambling opportunity. (Fiat money has government demand through taxes).
I think at this point emissions reductions is a matter of will, not technology. Rather than waiting for some technological magic bullet when it comes to emissions reductions, we need to take aggressive action.

But we're going to need CCS technologies to start pulling the carbon back out if we want to avoid really bad outcomes, and those technologies are much less developed.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to a specific receptor (ACE2) that is expressed in a multitude of different cells in our bodies, most curiously the endothelial cells that line up your vessels. Some hypothesis suggest that the disruption of the systems associated with ACE2 is what causes downstream effects that lead to symptoms of COVID. By virtue of infecting blood vessels, the virus can cause them to stop functioning properly, and thus impair the supply of oxygen to otherwise healthy tissue. These hypoxic microlesions, which have been found even in the brain of patient populations, could in turn be responsible for some of the sequelae that the infection leaves behind after the end of acute period of the disease.

The extent to which damage is caused, and the extent to which the body can recover will evidently dictate the period of convalescence. Because symptoms vary wildly from case to case, pinpointing general routes of treatment or estimating the duration of recovery is a highly complex problem.
mAh doesn't change as you add cells to the battery pack? i'm pretty sure that's not correct.

Yes, but the flu season in 2020 pretty much didn't happen and COVID did. So in your case the even money would be on it not being COVID 'a few years ago' but if it had happened in March up to today of 2020/2021 then probably it would be.

GP is playing silly games and I'm a bit tired of those given my rather personal engagement with this particular virus, and frankly, if it is some other kind of virus then it hardly matters now, does it?
You seem to be interpreting what I'm saying literally. No, I don't believe that businesses literally have furnaces in which they throw humans. It is a metaphor.

Nobody said "everyone is evil as a function of profit." Where is this coming from?

You seem deeply affected by this for some reason, and it's pretty difficult to have a conversation from a place where my message is being this severely caricaturized and distorted. Not seeing a way forward with this discussion until we can make it a little less personal.
Sleep involves large-scale slow rhythmic synchrony of the brain — a kind of low information entropy state because of the high degree of coherence. Despite the heat, running also involves a large-scale slow rhythmic synchrony of the body and brain. Hypothetically, high-coherence exercise might have similar cognitive effects as sleep.

This is a testable hypothesis. Simply compare low-coherence exercise (say, moving boxes or frenetic dance) with high-coherence exercise (running or rowing).
I use a PS3 (yes, from 2008) to watch Netflix and it works fine.

The Count of Monte Cristo is inspired by a real framing-revenge plot story
There was definitely some unreliable narrator there. She said she wanted kids. Apparently he did not, since presumably they were not part of the budget. He claimed to be outside the need for more spending and accused her of being fooled by social media, but admits he felt a lot of shame at falling behind his peers in accomplishment. She said she couldn't see herself being with someone who wouldn't work to improve their lives and support a larger family. He said he wouldn't go back to work, even if she did. In his next relationship, he went back to work, increased his spending and is planning on having kids, several large reversals. Seems to me that they weren't so different after all.
I really love the temporary installs feature of nix OS. Often I just want to try some software once and don't want to use it afterwards. The temporary install feature is perfect for that, to help avoiding building up bloat from forgotten uninstalls.

But yes, you absolutely must have ripgrep.
No, banning fiat on-ramps will not kill Bitcoin, although it would suppress the price for several years. No, banning exchanges will no longer work as trading would move to DeFi. Give it up already, your arguments are tired.

I don't think you realize how strong the crypto movement is. Your vision is obscured by all the the snake-oil surrounding it. Government intervention will further legitimize it. This is nothing like the prior movements for alternative currency. Many millions of young people have experience buying and trading cryptocurrency now. It isn't going away.
Have you managed to get medication (aka beta blockers) for the palpations? I am not a doctor but I strongly recommend getting a doctor to prescribe you some if you haven't already.

What's been particularly frustrating with long covid is because it's so new, I've had to have awkward pushy conversations with doctors to get me treatment I deserve. You can't get high off beta blockers, which helps assuage my feelings of being an addict engaging in drug seeking behavior, simply trying to get my heart rate under control, but the medical industry has largely failed patients here. The only reprieve is that enough healthcare professionals also got sick, so the fact that there's nothing that shows up on scans of my heart isn't taken as fact that there's nothing wrong with it.
That's awesome feedback. I think I'll ask to get a refund on the latest bill. They are not the biggest contracting firm, but I'm sure they value their reputation and this is a "low" price to pay for their mistake. Thanks for your comment.

My company has recently switched to Microsoft Teams, where unsupported integrations happen via webhooks. For example, if we wanted to be able to trigger builds in Jenkins or Gitlab, or acknowledge alerts via AlertManager, we'd have to set them up as webhooks to the appropriate service.

The problem is that all of those services are internal to our network, and aren't accessible from the outside world. We cannot set up a webhook to Jenkins because Jenkins does not have a publicly accessible URL. We cannot set up a webhook to Gitlab, or to Prometheus, or to Sentry, or anything else, because those are all internal services.

The only option there would be to create a new, public-facing server, set it up with a domain name and SSL certificate, expose it to the world, and then give it access to those services - which defeats the point of having those services internal and secure if we just create a non-internal system and give it access to them.

Alternately, we have that new, public-facing server buffer those requests and have other services poll them, somehow, so that it cannot connect in, but now we're getting into the same situation as described in the article.

If there were an API, I could easily create a small daemon that would watch for events and dispatch them accordingly, and then respond to them as needed; instead, my only option is to build some kind of Frankenstein - or to give up entirely, which is the more reasonable solution.

Then again, this is Microsoft Teams, where creating an application requires an Azure account and jumping through a ton of hoops, so they're no stranger to stupid ideas that no one wants to deal with.
I blame online advertising, and in particular CPM payouts, which incentivise extraneous content to drive up impressions.
Yeah, but I'm not interested since the real solutions are generally off limits. The $100M is what I really want (or even $1M would be nice). In fact what i really want is to be employed to enter competitions like this and Gates' toilet competition. I'm just too dumb.

never used Sail, but sounds good! thanks reminding me i miss 8 hands and 3 brains when performing live :)

i have a midibox 8 motorized fader project waiting for an enclosure somewhere, but never really thought of it as more simultaneous controls. but indeed. will probably write a m4l patch to handle long sweeps while doing other stuff too.

agreed, sry

Yep. I do breathing exercises daily. It helps with the dysautonomia (long covid causes dysautonomia) too.

You may want to look into the Airofit Pro: https://www.airofit.com/
Yes, you are right. In fact, the github username that published the code is not the same as the one that was working for us. So it's clearly on the consulting firm to blame and not the developer in particular
Precisely this.

Syntorial will get you far down the road of listening to the elements of subtractive synthesis. It’s a happy journey and one that gives you subtractive synth skills that can be applied to any of the hardware recommended here.
The market would follow their move pretty damn fast.
Sydney is the only place I have seen where it was a free, regularly scheduled, community event where everyone's stuff (in a particular area) went out at the same time and could be freely picked up thus diverting it from the landfill. The leftovers were then picked up by the council free of charge.
Vimwiki has some basic keyboard shortcuts for editing and navigating between pages in your wiki. It also has a couple of neat features, like the ability to export your entire wiki as HTML documents using a single command. But you could accomplish all of this with some basic configuration changes so I wouldn't call any of those "advantages". To be honest, I don't remember why I started using vimwiki as it was years ago but for whatever reason it has stuck with me.
Strikes me as one of those cases where good research uses a silly motivation to get brownie points.

I built an internal app for my company that is a less polished version of this.

My most liked feature was an interactive seating map of the office. So you can be assured that your desk won't be surrounded.

Glad to have some validation and see someone take this concept and make a product out of it. Best of luck!
I've heard that planting trees in the Sahara would be worse because since they're darker they would absorb way more heat.
Trees, unless you clearcut them (or they die off due to climate change) permanently lock up carbon. Yes, some die and decompose, but new ones grow up to take their place. It's just the total amount of biomass created that matters.
Wikipedia class the greyzone as Max Blumenthal's blog but one of the articles I posted is by Aaron Maté. I find him consistently honest and thorough - I don't know much about Max Blumenthal.

I'm curious what your assessment of bellingcat as a source is? Surely it cannot stand up to your scrutiny.
This is abysmally wrong.

Physicians don't suddenly stop needing know one's biological sex by virtue of reassignment surgery - if anything it's even more important. The mere virtue of having to constantly inject hormones to alter expression to a limited degree evidences what sex is in play. Some medication may react differently owing to sex, not just ratio of testosterone and estrogen.

You're reducing sex to something it isn't. I'm not sure to what end, because it helps no one.

> Is a man without their sexual organs still a man?

Yep.

> Well how do you tell?

A rudimentary exam could do it.

> the driving characteristics that determines sex in the medical community is the phenotypes/physical expression.

In terms of cursory glances only. In terms of actual examination, no. Absolutely not.

> The significant majority of sex related differences from a medical perspective are almost entirely hormone driven.

Entirely wrong.

> Hell there are even a statistically significant number of people who don't have the same karyotype in all their cells. See 46,XY/45,X0 mosaicism and 46,XX/46,XY mosaicism.

These aberrations exist but are incredibly uncommon. I think I'd read of a single woman thus far with XY chromosomes.

> what is left to differentiate them

What do you think is driving the need for constant hormone replacement?

Stop conflating sex and gender. Seriously, the fact that biological sex is a thing does not jeopardize gender expression and flexibility.
What do you think about the fact that he made a U-turn?
> What are other examples of when the course of history have balanced on a knife's edge?

I suspect that almost all of history does balance on a knife's edge. How far back in history that edge exists, relative to the event is the real question.

There is probably a point in every civilization where it's rise would be anything but inevitable. You don't need very many of these events in ancient history before the chain of causality for everything that came after it would be seriously altered.
I guess I agree from an academic point of view where absolute truth is nearly hypothetical and overwhelming evidence is rare. From a logistical point of view, I guess its risk/benefit balanced by evidence. For instance, Wearing a mask, very likely helps reduce indoor SARS-COV-2 transmission. The cost or hassle to me is minimal. That is in that risk benefit balance, I found the evidence for mask to be overwhelming. And yes, Skepticism is always healthy and the core of scientific thinking.
For me it’s more of a weight issue. Current iPhones are already heavy enough to be slightly uncomfortable when scrolling for long times, I definitely wouldn’t want anything heavier.

Last week my doctor prescribed me something called Stresam (aka Etifoxine). Apparently it is a lot like the benzo Lorazepam (Ativan) but without the whole benzo addiction problem.

I had never heard of it nor know anyone on it before but apparently it is good. Too early for me to say if it is personally. I want to avoid any kind of addictive medication if possible.
I agree, I'd rather just have a bigger phone with a better battery.

Although I don't think bigger inherently means more durable/more protection. Bigger means when dropped, whatever part of the chassis hits the ground first has a lot more energy to absorb.
What hypervisor/vm software are you using?

I’m running some Linux vms under parallels on a m1 and the graphics performance could be better..
Agreed. Removal and reductions are not mutually exclusive.

One huge positive I see from the creation of this prize is the publicity and interest in carbon removal. From my experience more people are learning about the requirement for carbon removal and realizing how expensive it is.

For those of us who want to leave a minimal footprint, becoming aware of how expensive it is to undo our footprint incentivizes us to reduce too.

(Credit where credit is due, Stripe, Shopify and Microsoft are also really helping this area grow too. )
i understand that things need to cost something . But if you owned a toyota or a ford car and they charged you 700$ for service. Does that sound reasonable.
This sounds like dysautonomia.

I have dysautonomia, which I had long before (probably) getting COVID-19. I have a rare form of dysautonomia. But, dysautonomia does happen, relatively frequently, as post-viral cases.

The good news is that post-viral dysautonomia has high potential for improving and even (realistically) going away. Rest will be the best treatment.

IIRC, just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong for the Spanish armada. Some nice weather or good health of the originally slated commander might have possibly prevented the British Empire.
I suppose someone might figure a way to economically scale the methane captured here.

Of course the method this person used, agitating the bottom of the pond, could have an adverse impact of the ecosystem of the pond itself. Do they rely on trace quantities of methane in some way? Will the muddy & cloudy disturbed water make survival harder, maybe killing the biomass that was generating the methane? Who knows. Well, someone might know, but I guess my point is that agitating metastable systems can have outcomes that are hard to predict.
> If you can't trust the media and governments

Up until December we had the Pres/VP candidates saying they would not take any vaccine that Trump endorsed. Then they won, and were faced with convincing everyone to take those very vaccines. Do you believe them now, or then?
Sure, but the way we build buildings, there's no way that's actually the case. Transport alone to the sawmill, then the lumber yard, then the job site might actually release more carbon than the tree is storing.

A 25 year old maple will sequester 400 pounds of co2 in it's lifetime. An average commuter car will emit that in 2 weeks. Hauling all that carbon out of the forest will likely emit far more than that.
I think Firefox news is what I comment most on here. I don't know why. Well I guess I do. Web browsers, javascript etc is front and center here - which somewhat means the digital world. All my friends use Chrome, and think I'm weird. I think _they_ are. They care about human rights, at least I think they do. But, having Google, an ad company, dictate how our window to the digital world looks like, is now _way worse_ than what Microsoft with IE6 ever did. They had their share, but nothing compared to this. At least Microsoft was just a software company.

If a class of people on a forum such as this with so many brilliant minds cannot even be bothered with the values of open source and how this pertains to democracy and human values I really don't see how any other part of our species could. "Chromium scrolls 5% better on my machine so who cares about Firefox". I see these comments all the time here. Even in this thread.

Firefox. Linux. Postgresql. Wikipedia. Xmms! The WORLD WIDE WEB! Imaging if Google invented hypertext and not CERN (funny how Google made their initial fortunes). AMP would be the least of your worries. Imagine if Amazon "invented" Wikipedia. All of these open source projects are just mindblowingly awesome. They help people. Me. You.

But who cares right? Certainly not the lot with money in the 80/90s that didn't understand how or why this would be important. Which is why all these amazing things happened. Now they do of course. So none of this anymore.

Which is why I think humanity is doomed to succumb to our newfound overlords. The Big Four. Five? Six? Seven? Who cares really. A handful.

I wish people, especially like what this place definitely represents, would stand up more (including me!). Teach people, politicians, your parents, your siblings, your kids. We understand tech and it's implications. We understand how big tech is now stifling everything. Good luck training a neural network that competes with 50 billion uploaded photos. Facebook, Amazon. Google. Microsoft.

But noone will - "it doesn't matter". But make no mistake. It does matter. And humanity is just sitting here. It's like we're heading for this High Class Great Filter.

Good thing I'll be dead before all this comes to full fruition.

(Sorry for the rant - hope it was still relevant and on point, and I really encourage discussion here!)
I didn't know that, frankly I remember reading, many years ago, people saying that downvotes are not meant to express disagreement. Maybe that changed, I personally don't agree with this and only consider downvoting if someone is not being civil, is not interested in discussion, or really voicing something obviously false. I was careful with my comment, I'm not selling anything, I was just interested in maybe nudging some people towards this information.

I think masks are the better analogy to seatbelts. It reduces your risk of injury and death, protects the other occupants in the vehicle (from your flying body), but only to a certain extent and offer no protection in various scenarios. In general its difficult to find a good analogy for vaccine's anywhere because they are a nearly miraculous tool. I think you are right about the unknown risk, but a subset of the drama is certainly a rejection of things like masks and vaccines given they are low effort / low risk / high reward vs an unknown level of risk (mutating virus).
I agree crypto has no utility but I also really don't want to live in a world where governments ban me from buying and selling knowledge of numbers because of the particular algorithm which produced them. Or from using my computer to compute whatever I want.

Really any account with less than 100k karma is practically a throwaway account.
that’s being overly invested in the idea that it’s covid rather than realizing that infections of all kinds have long-lasting effects. individually and societally, that leads to a distortion of attention and resources to the wrong things. i.e., partial idiocy, the worst kind, and unfortunately rampant.

there is a real opportunity now for medical science to look comparatively at infectious diseases and attack them systematically and cohesively rather than myopically. hopefully we don’t squander that.
The Analog Four has a huge range but I don’t think it’s particularly beginner friendly due to the large array of parameters accessed by just 10 knobs. Its flexibility also means it has fewer “sweet spots” than simpler synths - it’s not as easy to make something that sounds great by messing with a few knobs compared to e.g. the Roland SH01A.

I think for a beginner it’s more helpful to have as many controls as possible accessible hands on, rather than having to go to different pages and have different knobs do different things depending on context.

Analog Four is awesome as you get more experienced though as you can create a whole track on it if you are creative!

I’d personally probably go for a Korg Minilogue as a beginner these days…

No I don't think it does.
(and for disclosure I'm unlikely to ever read the details enough to know for myself for certain)

I just wish it was tiered such that proper seed money backs various alternatives and the best proven tech (not just the first) gets a big boost when attempting to scale.

But not my millions to spend so I just hope it had a good impact.
