recently replaced a robot vacuum with a corded plugin model with 3x the suction power and the amount of dust it removed from carpets already 'clean' by the robovac was pretty incredible.

I have the robot vacuum still doing its thing every other day but at least once a week I do a deep clean and it removes a ton of dust.

I also have a HEPA filter air purifier going 24 hours.

Carpets are the worst.
I have paid an ever increasing amount of attention to the $/unit price, especially with coffee. It can be surprising.

This is the downside to upgrading your iOS version. Once you update, it's not like you can go back, either. You're stuck with a slower, more power-hungry phone for the life of the phone.
This reeks like a con-artists rephrasing perfectly normal and mundane observations into scary-sounding situations so that people would buy the air-filter companies that are funding your research.

I'm all for cleaner air and I don't doubt that the already well-established negative effects of high CO2 or VOC concentrations on us, but can we at least keep any discussion to non-anecdotal, strong scientific evidence? None the articles linked both here show any rigorous statistics that pinpoint cause and effects, it's all handwavy conjectures with "common sense" evidence and statistical dressing to show correlation. Correlation doesn't even necessarily mean causality. Some of the articles even have *may" in the title, you can be the judge.

Probably an unpopular opinion given the large amount of anecdotal science already posted.

Dust on carpet is bad and particularly if you don't clean it and let stuff grow - we all know that already and we don't need a laser pointer to show kids how scary it is. Just because you can see it doesn't necessarily mean it's worse, and just because you can't see it doesn't necessarily mean it's better.

It's just insanity that everyone is suddenly a scientists with a few anecdotes or links to articles that show correlation but not causality.

tech started getting researched in the 1990s, scientific papers started getting published in 2005, Moderna and Pfizer started around 2010. Around 2018 is when they went public. Covid happened and expedited the vaccine approval process.
Seems like they found out in 2018 the mRNA technology was only ready for vaccines. ie 1-2 shots because of adverse effects. So they shifted to vaccines in 2018.
Some people do that, and at one point it was much faster to do that so it was more common, but as databases have generally gotten faster that kind of optimization is less interesting to people.

It takes about a week to get the interface translated and to start collection, for any language with at least 5000 sentences in the public domain. I helped bootstrap Guarani and Breton and a few other languages spoken by friends of mine, but in the end, it just takes one or two people. I think in general there is a big difference in engagement if STT/ASR already exists for the language (e.g. Hebrew, Danish and Korean) and if it doesn't exist at all.

Regarding your second paragraph of the legality, Apple doesn't incriminate you even if they send the image off and a image reviewer deems something CSAM. If Apple does file a police report on this evidence or otherwise gives evidence to the police, the police will still have to prove that (A) the images do indeed depict sexually suggestive content involving a minor, and (B) you did not take an affirmative defense under 18 USC 2252A (d) [0], aka. they would have to prove that you had 3 or more actual illegal images and didn't take reasonable steps to destroy the images or immediately report them to law enforcement and given such law enforcement access to said photos.

The biggest issue with this is, of course, that Apple's accusation is most certainly going to be enough evidence to get a search warrant, meaning a search and seizure of all of your hard drives they can find.

So which investment firms will work with you? Asking for a friend...

Also are you referring to FATCA when you talk about investment firms? My understanding is that FATCA doesn't really become an issue until you have more than a certain amount of assets in the country you are living in.

FBAR does have to always be reported for all accounts but is a separate issue.

EDIT: I think I misread. I was wondering if you were having problems with investment firms in the USA not wanting to work with you. Are you saying that you are trying to invest using companies located in your current country of residence?
Great thing for people to be aware of, but NPR didn't mention the Fed and the policy of targeting inflation a single time, which is a shame.

There's not much to verify there. They claim they got a way to use electromagnetic time crystals as an electromagnetic sensor. It's not an extraordinary claim, but they don't exactly say how either, so we can't check.

And if they improve their sensor into something that seems viable, it would be good at detecting the minuscule fields that some candidate dark matter particles should create very rarely when they interact with something. Maybe becoming a better detector for them than the current state of the art (this, I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axion_Dark_Matter_Experiment).

I’d flip it (rather tongue and cheek) and say that it’s you that doesn’t appreciate market places. And here’s why.

Saying eBay (your listed comp) that can sell (almost) anything, in almost every jurisdiction with probably minimal config change, at different $ values (you can buy a server on eBay), w/ both consumer and SMB sellers, and like importantly preceded this idea and implementation by a solid (guess) 15 years and along the way was the first and many technical / tricky problems for these types of models has the same business model as a vertical marketplace is kind of baffling. Let’s ignore take rate, how does your GMV scale to within two orders of magnitude at terminal compared to eBay selling skins? And how much cash did you use to get there? Is it even NPV positive to do that without knowing the cohort behavior (I’d bet the gamers are huge repeats, but they may be less loyal to Brand vs Product than say an Etsy seller; importantly you have no idea a priori). Sure gaming TAM is probably huge, but taking OPs words as written (and being kind they can or will likely pivot) the serviceable piece of the market that relates to sort of second order entertainment derivative goods is what? (I.e. if buying the game is the gating item, and is costly like some AAA titles currently are, clearly that has to somehow impact the skin market, although obviously in some cases it can be bigger). Maybe I was poor as a kid but a $70 entry price to a given market would have been debilitating to remaining disposable income. Maybe that’s changed (higher allowances or greater income variability growing those cumulative available $s for transaction).

Maybe I’m an idiot but if you put on a table 4 cards, each with the unit economics of each transaction and the cumulative economics of that “customer” as defined between your stated: eBay, poshmark, Etsy, and a business deriving value on partially the disposable income of minors in sort of fuzzy space that albeit is probably exploding.... from a distance the established ones sure look a lot better (but of course that’s survivorship bias vs a early high growth startup with unknown potential).

I’ve seen the economics of some of the booming gambling/online casino/sports betting businesses that are trendy now due in part to deregulation. Leaving aside the customer acquisition cost discussion (go check what fan fuel is spending per customer in the initial US deregulated states), and the compliance overhang will always at least somewhat drag on economics. It simply has to. This is sort of anecdotal and based on a podcast, but Coinbase has what seems to be a very large legal team; obviously not identical models but I can’t see PayPal having that many attorneys on staff. Ceteris paribus the lower complaisance overhang has to at least somewhat be a drag on margins.

Net Net, businesses are different, people are different, industries are different ...everything is different at a deep enough level. You can like some but not all marketplace businesses based on how they operate and the strategy they take and how mature/captured the underlying market is IMHO.
Do you see consistency between your CO2 detectors?

Early on in the pandemic when I started working at home, I became very cognizant about the impact of CO2 and built a little project with a microcontroller and the MHZ-19B CO2 sensor. Calibrating the sensor is an ongoing challenge and while I have 18 months of data, I'm still not 100% confident about the accuracy of the data at any given time.

Still...I literally can feel when the CO2 level is above 800 - 1000ppm and it isn't always as easy as opening a window to counteract. There are certain conditions - maybe the barometric pressure or temperature gradient, but sometimes forced ventilation is necessary to get into the "comfortable" 400-600ppm range.

I play rec. soccer, and have signed up for different leagues over the time.

Back in 2013-2015 for each game, the usual time was about 60 mins slot, with few minutes given for a mid game break and in between games team switch.

So, about 27 mins for a half, 5 mins a half game break, and a bit of a margin.

Over time this has been shrinking when it became 55mins, then 50, and now a partly 40mins for a whole game. You basically get 18 mins half.

To add to the injury each team now is stuffed with more players, so you have more subs and less play. it is annoying.

Usually it was only one crappy league doing this, but now the other ones are started to shrink game times, raise prices and so profits. So.... yeah, shrinkflation even in soccer games.
I think, you're missing the point. Houses are consumed over very long periods of time, which means the price at which you're purchasing your home today is going to affect your future cost of living for many, many years. Therefore, if we are trying to measure the current cost of living, current house prices are pretty much irrelevant.
Inflation measures aren’t stupid, they measure this too. If you sell a 15oz box for the same price you sold a 16oz box that will show up in the inflation numbers

What I mean is that it would be hard to collectively keep a secret that ivermectin works. Your acquaintance's doctor happened to prescribe it - but I'm guessing most doctors would not. So this pharma exec (or researcher, or whomever) would need to tell their family to go find a doctor willing to prescribe it, or would send information to the doctor to convince them to prescribe it, or something. And that would leak.

Also I'm mostly referencing the idea, which I believe I've seen in some of these papers, that people should take ivermectin on an ongoing basis to protect against getting infected in the first place. If I were a pharma exec who knew that ivermectin secretly worked, I wouldn't want my family to get sick at all if I could help it - I'm pretty sure no paper is claiming it's 100% effective, it just reduces the chance of poor outcomes. So I'd have to tell them to find a doctor willing to prescribe ivermectin even before they're sick, and that would definitely leak.
