I hope they are slightly honest about the overheads of those costs here - working in salt water -> everything is going to be FAR more expensive and I just don't see easy 20 year lifetimes without real ongoing maint. I mean, the containment for generator alone is going to need to be waterproof - the whole thing is going to need to be waterpoof - that alone is going to drive costs way up.

IPv6 adoption is sadly a chicken or egg problem. Most residential ISPs near me provide IPv6 along with IpV4. But since so many of the internet still doesn't work with IPv6, and because ISPs have run out of IpV4 addresses to assign, they have started using CGNAT to assign a single public IpV4 to multiple customers. This means you can't self host servers of any kind which sucks. Some ISPs don't use CGNAT, and have therefore become popular with gamers, tech people, and so on. But I imagine this will change eventually. Hopefully if enough tech people start hating CGNAT and wish that the internet just worked with IPV6, they will push adoption elsewhere (as most people just won't care).

The joys of "efficient" supply chains continue to demonstrate the downsides. It's not just the flagship chips that are short - it's literally everything else too. Microcontrollers, basic surface mount components, etc. All of it is in short supply.

The best thing we could be doing right now would be a focus on software efficiency, and getting the overhead of some of the modern bloated "desktop" apps down, such that older hardware could remain in productive service longer - but that ship seems to have sailed, as everything is a browser and website now (even "desktop" apps are mostly Electron now, with corresponding overhead).

If we're lucky, Microsoft will back off on their arbitrary requirements for Windows 11 such that we can run updated OSes on older hardware, but I don't hold out much hope for that.

As much as I've worked in the tech industry for my entire life, the right answer now seems to be to figure out ways to reduce reliance on technology in one's personal life. We're not going to be getting supplies of chips here any time soon, stuff will fail, and "using less modern technology" seems a good adaptation to this set of changes.

I remember someone in my neighborhood selling their large home for $1+ million back in 2012 , which at the time seemed like a lot money. I bet he probably regrets that now. We see over and over: the media rushes to call something a bubble, a crisis, unsustainable, irrational, mania, etc., whether it's stock prices or real estate or tech valuations, over and over the media keeps being wrong. For every correct prediction, they get dozens wrong. Even if housing prices were to fall a lot, which I don't think they will, but even so, prices would probably not fall to where they were in 2011-2013 when the bubble predictions began. Remember all those predictions and articles in 2014-2015 of Seattle, Vancouver, and Toronto housing being a bubble. The media has no skill at predicting this stuff.

> Proteins have a half life of ~24 hours.

All of them? I admit that I'm not a biologist, so that's new to me, but this would seem to put our bodies under immense stress if we had to replace half of all our proteins every day. If the average human body has 10 kg of proteins, this would mean the necessity of synthesizing 5 kg per day to prevent your death. Or is this specifically about PrP? If it's true that it doesn't last long, then perhaps stopping its synthesis would be a viable option.

Does the misfolded PrP have a different half-life?

I never said anything of the sort. You asked how one learns and I answered: not with patterns or recipes, but rather with practice and observation. Even if you memorise dozens of recipes you still ain't a chef. To be a chef you need to know how to prepare, combine, modify and even come up with those recipes. My bullet points are not patterns or guidelines you should follow. They are examples of the foundational knowledge you need to "come up with the recipes".

Home prices have risen similarly here in the UK, which has largely been attributed to a temporary cessation of Stamp Duty (tax you pay on the value of a home you buy). It's interesting that the same has happened in the US, without that (unless something comparable happened there?).
I’ve had psychosis and knew I was completely out of reality. The problem was my rational brain wasn’t in the driver’s seat. So I got to watch myself believe and do things I didn’t want.
A few years ago while visiting a friend, we made some mongolian bbq after a long day of hiking. I started chopping up veggies and asked him to get his skillet. He pulled out the nastiest monstrosity I'd ever seen: a fuzzy green skillet that by volume was more alive than not.

It turns out he takes his cast iron abuse to a new level: as soon as he's done with it and it's cooled, he puts it away, not even scraping food into the garbage. When he needs it again, he just cranks up the heat until it's billowing smoke, at which point he scrapes the char away from it.

I can't get behind that approach, but knowing my friend, I have no doubt that he's been doing that for two decades or more.
You’re generally right but it’s definitely not a hard rule.

Amazon/AWS has deprecated and then put to the grave multiple payment services. I made that same comment when SimpleDB was deprecated and someone said the same thing. More recently, torrent support in S3 is being killed off with little notice.

Oh good lord. That's outrageous. And the guys cheering him on? Kudos for someone stepping in and "pulling him off women", but perhaps a bit more severe punishment maybe? Just a bit.
This is not a good way to go about making a comparison.

First, hospitalized patients are a very different demographic than the population at large - you can't just hand-wave that away by saying that vaccination probably balances that out. A week ago, around 50% of infections were among vaccinated people, although this number has dropped significantly in the past week as the outbreak has reached communities with lower vaccination rates (ultra-orthodox, arab, etc.)

Second, you can't extrapolate reinfection rates studied pre-delta to today. We have seen in other places that delta presents a greater reinfection risk. In the UK, 1.2% of delta infections are among people who had previously recovered. That number is not directly comparable to Israel's 0.1%, because it's measuring a different thing, but it does not suggest a 99.9% protection given the UK's total number of cases (about a tenth of their population over the course of the entire pandemic).

I'm not saying that being previously infected doesn't offer strong protection. It clearly does. But you seem insistent on vastly overestimating the protection it offers while simultaneously underestimating the protection offered by vaccines. I think they're a lot closer than you're making them out to be.

> but only one ISP natively supports IPv6

Personally I'm using as a provider "solnet.ch" (I'm their customer since a very long time and so far I'm very happy with them - it's a small provider headquartered in the canton Solothurn, but my connection originates from the canton Zurich), and so far it doesn't seem that they'll offer IPv6, so this matches your statement.

On the other hand, if I remember correctly, I think (not sure and I cannot check this now) that I did have to modify my DNS configuration of my email server related to IPv6 when my parents changed from Swisscom to Sunrise (in 2020 or 2019 - my mother uses my email-server and the IPv6-entries weren't configured correctly) => can it be that Sunrise is using IPv6 as well, at least partially?

I might be wrong, especially regarding what you mean with "natively" (maybe you mean that customers get "only" an IPv6-address, the access to the IPv4-network being fully relayed at the ISP-level?).
No, generally within science 'species' has a loose definition that roughly correlates with the actual underlying physical events occurring in the wild (the true population of the gene pool).

For example, if pressed, about as much as you could get from an evo biologist is that what distinguishes difference between species is their inability to interbreed.

Humans probably could tell neanderthal were "different" but not in a way where they thought they were truly "other".

> even if it was hard for me to deliberately NOT use soap during the cleaning process

Not using soap is just a myth. The hard surface is not oil anymore. You don't want to abrade it off, but it isn't going to come off with a little bit of soap. My big "ah moment" came when i realized why our teflon pan was ruined. It became "seasoned" after someone overheated it with some low-smoke point oil in it. The black layer that formed in it is the same "seasoned" layer you get from oil in a cast iron pan.

This confusion happens over and over in popular press reporting. To the point where unless it's explicit I now assume it's annualized.
Yeah, my ISP does an IPv4 (static is an extra cost) and a full IPv6 /56 assignment.

Beyond that, though, I think a lot of the fundamentalism around "IPv6 should mean everything is always available, if you don't like that get gud at network security" has been incredibly counter-productive. IPv4 NAT has given a certain level of network security to consumers, and IPv6 defaulting to always-on, all-the-time is not a comforting story.

I've had an object appear huge once (right after an LSD trip), so might as well share my anecdote.

For me it was in a dark environment (bedroom), but I was looking at my phone, without glasses, and holding it pretty close to my eyes (I'm also heavily myopic) so that it occupied maybe ~60% of my field of vision.

The "picture" I had in my field of vision never changed, the "pixels" (though I don't think there is such a thing) did not change. But suddenly my phone was this giant monolith just above my head.

Consciously I could clearly tell this was a hallucination, but the dissonance of having this seemingly suddenly huge object held right above my head was really unsettling to me, a bit scary even.

I'm so used to not questioning how my sense of scale pretty much always matches what I see, it never occurred to me my instinct could be fooled by this wide a margin while consciously seeing that everything was normal.

But on the other hand, I can't say I've really ever had an unusually distinctive awareness of objects like you describe.

I used to have a Finex pan that was glass smooth. Eggs stuck to it like it was stainless steel (which is also very smooth). And I could never get a good season on it.
Isn't health data private in the USA?
I have a couple stainless steel skillets, one of which I use several times a week for eggs. I wash them by hand with soap and water after each use, which is not something I would do with cast iron. If I cook something that gets the skillet really nasty, I simmer some water and baking soda for a while, and then while it's still on the stove I use a silicone spatula to scrape off all the stuff that's stuck to it. This has worked well enough for me for as long as I've done it.

I know some people do season stainless steel, but I've never tried it myself. I do cook with coconut oil, though, so maybe they've kind of self-seasoned over the years.

right, but then new buyers taking out new mortgages at new rates will be unable to afford monthly payments at drastically increased prices.

If fed rates ever go back to 5%, which they haven't been since the 90's, then mortgage rates would go to 7 or 8 percent.

it's the monthly payments not the price of the house, and if rates go up because the Fed has to chase inflation, then those monthly payments go up, and affordability goes down.
The popular factoid is correct, but the confusion here is that these are different measurements. Humans and chimps' genomes are similar in that if you align all the bases [A,C,T,G] that can be unambiguously aligned between the two genomes, 98.8% of the bases are identical. For modern humans to Neanderthals, that number is 99.7%, and between two random modern humans, it would be ~99.9% on average.

This paper is asking a subtly different question - how much of the modern human genome is strictly human, not by simply lining up bases and running a diff, but looking at the inheritance of chunks of DNA ("haplotype blocks", size determined by processes of recombination, etc.) to try to understand how much and which regions of the modern human genome came from interbreeding with Neanderthals or Denisovans. There was variation in the pre-human population before the human/Neanderthal split, which means that if you compare just a single human to a single neanderthal, you'll find unique variants to each. However, most of those variants will have existed in both the human and neanderthal populations, so they should count neither as uniquely human nor neanderthal (knows as Incomplete Lineage Sorting, or ILS).

The chunks in modern humans that derive from Neanderthals or Denisovans are different in different people and broadly across population groups (e.g. highest percent introgressed in Melanesians, lowest in Africans). But across all the modern humans in the study, there are regions where Neanderthal/Denisovan inheritance or shared variation (ILS) was never seen - that's 7% of the genome ("deserts"). And just 1.5% of the genome was in chunks where moderns human commonly have a unique mutation compared to Denisovans/Neanderthals.

Been there, tried that. It's based on faulty observations and conclusions, and results in a fragile seasoning that flakes off easily.

Matfer Bourgeat and De Buyer both recommend frying up a batch of potato peels in plenty of oil and too much salt, until the peels are very dark. Doesn't matter which kind of oil, salt or potatoes. Move them around and scrub them on the pan with your spatula while frying. When done, clean the pan with hot water.

Then just use the pan. The only things you really shouldn't do are soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher. Simmering acidic foods like tomato sauce is not great, but also not the end of the world.

The biggest contributing factor to make food not stick is to properly preheat the pan and not be afraid of oil/butter.
