Getting a bidet attachment for my toilet was a game-changer for me. Now I feel deprived when I go on a vacation and have to deal with regular toilets again.

One benefit is that I use a fraction of the amount of toilet paper.
Assuming both your parent and your comment are correct (and no other controls), then the experiment tells us the effects of the substance on populations that are disproportionately predisposed to cancer. Surely, not very infourmative in a cancer study.

Note, I don't know whether these assumptions actually hold. Just taking it on its face.
The part you are missing is that at that time, it felt like the entire company's future was in jeopardy. It wasn't inconceivable, back then, that if Netscape dominated, every aspect of Microsoft's business would soon be rendered obsolete.

They were working hard to ensure the company continued to exist, a pretty noble cause. Your "3rd version of MS web browser" is a trivialization.

Stellaris is having the same issues. It feels like every dlc adds some issues and they've just slowly been piling up. The game isn't even playable most of the time if you don't own all of the dlc due to the balance being horrible.
Yeah I'd assume they're saving a lot of battery usage on the display. I would think long battery life would be one of the biggest upsides of this device, but they went with a smaller battery and thus advertise "1-2 days of 'light' regular usage", which really isn't blowing out any current smartphones. I just wonder if you're using it to listen to music throughout day via bluetooth, how much is that smaller battery going to bite you?
> The truth is, water is just fine on a hot day, and if you really do have a salt imbalance, it’s more likely that is related to hard physical activity combined with a hot day

The article says exactly what you say
1. Vaccinated people transmit COVID as well. In fact, they're more likely not to show symptoms, so probably more likely to travel and unknowingly infect others.

2. People have covid over a period of two weeks to a month, and in some portion of that they transmit the disease. Of those that haven't had covid yet, most that will get it, will self isolate. The probability that you are transmitting disease at any moment is very small, and is tiny fraction of one's life. This ban is for years to come, life affecting. More likely to cause poverty and real misery that effects life outcomes much more than COVID.

3. This policy is also vindictive and punitive to people that have had the disease already, who are more protected against COVID than those with vaccine that only recognize the virus by a spike protein.

4. At any moment, anyone could have some transmittable disease that puts your health at risk. We can't make the world safe for everyone at all times. There are inherent risks with being a human, and disease is one of them. Dividing society and isolating people based on a minuscule probability that they are spreading disease is wrong headed. Especially a disease that is curable for 99%+ of people. And who can reduce that risk by getting vaccinated for their own protection.

5. Based on the trends in Israel, (early high vaccination rate)the virus just mutated, and evolved, and is happily reinfecting the vaccinated. This happened in a span of months. The further back someone has been vaccinated the more likely they are to get sick.

6. Anyone with a cold or flue can spread disease as well. By this logic anyone with an STD should be barred from having sex. And if we take it the next step. Bars should be closed down because they facilitate the spread of STDs. Groups more likely to carry STDs should be isolated.

This kind of thinking will just lead to more misery than COVID its self. Lockdowns are causing poverty, drug addiction and suicides of young people. Its taking decades off their lives, unlike COVID which mostly is deadly to those in their last year of life.
After some research I've come to the conclusion that my statement is in fact definitively wrong.

What I said was this: We do not know if classical mechanics is deterministic.

I am wrong. The correct statement is: We do know that classical mechanics is not deterministic.

So essentially I'm wrong but so is everyone else so I'm paying nobody.

Source: https://sites.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/Goodies/Dome/

Essentially this is proof by contradiction. Classical mechanics is not deterministic.

My answer was, however, better than everyone else's given that my answer was in itself not absolute and encompassed this possibility and the opposing possibility as well.
Markets don't have anything to do with capitalism/socialism. There are capitalist places without markets, and socialist places with them.

You ignored my previous comment and replaced it with a straw man. No one is saying that the only way to combat bad ideas is through authoritarian means. That's a conclusion that you are drawing. How can you combat bad ideas in any way, if you don't first understand them, and how can you understand them if you can't study them?

And yes, I firmly believe there is such a thing as "bad ideas" in the sense that they are harmful. Can that be abused? Absolutely, but we can't over-correct and say that no idea should be labelled "bad". Take climate change. For years science told us it was coming. Misinformation about climate change has made it harder for us to do something about it, and now we're living the reality of extreme weather events. Why would we not want to know how that misinformation spreads, and how best to combat it?
I'm glad I finally got one, it's an amazing improvement.

I waited for a long time because I thought I needed an outlet to plug it in (for warm water), but it turns out that cold water is totally fine. So you just attach it to the existing valve right next to the toilet. It's fairly easy and not expensive (< $100)
A patent is intended to describe the invention. If it isn't described, that is not the fault of the reader but of the plaintiff.
Serious question - how do you get your butt dry without toilet paper? I got a bidet seat too and my TP consumption hasn't gone down, but at least my butt finally feels so clean now...
This is unfortunately the real bottleneck

Either way I've come to view bandwidth that high as something great if you're running severs or whatever but kind of overkill if all you need is enough for a small home office

Meanwhile in the Basque Country we are 26 C and we just saw the Sun literally 7 days along all the summer. 7 damn days from late June.

46-47C looks high but in Andalucia, Murcia and Extremadura you got 43 C temps granted every summer.

If the North of Spain reaches temps over 30 is when you should be extremely worried.

>With night-time temperatures forecast to exceed 25 degrees Celsius (77 F) in much of Spain, Royé worried about residents who cannot afford air conditioning and other vulnerable people, like the homeless or outdoor workers.

26 C at night here. I have no worries about temps in the South except for the elderly and workers around road building and hot tar.
I had a hell of a time finding an IDE for a Girls Who Code class that used Python with middle schoolers.

I wanted:

1. A plain text editor

2. With syntax highlighting

3. With a "run" button that would display program output in a side area.

What I didn't want: version control, autocomplete, package managers, refactoring. Not even as little buttons on the side which never have to be pressed but which act as a visual distraction and suck brain power. I'm trying to get these kids to understand what a loop is, they shouldn't ever think about damn git commits!

We mostly settled on Notepad++ but I really would have liked something more basic, and ideally browser-based given the, uh, quality of our hardware. Trinkit.io was also pretty good, but python3 required a subscription (python2 does not...), and for some reason it had issues with cursor focus.
another non-green, inefficient "breakthrough" that if adopted will just make things worse.

> Why consuming water from caffeine-containing drinks is different from consuming pure water

From the article:

> Some people worry caffeinated drinks dehydrate us, but this is only true when we drink large doses of caffeine and not enough water.

> Caffeinated drinks do make the body produce more urine, but they also contain water, which will usually more than compensate for the fluid caffeine makes you lose, says Maughan. In fact, he says, tea and coffee are a good way to hydrate because we're likely to drink more of something we enjoy.

> "Coffee contributes to daily fluid requirements, and in regular coffee-drinkers, the kidneys adapt to retain fluid from coffee," she says. "There's no reason moderate amounts of coffee or tea would dehydrate those who are used to having regular caffeine."
It's not really a matter of whether Kanter missed those spots, but of whether subtracting them from the total core area is relevant to the question he was trying to answer. (Also, both the ALUs and the register files are trivial to locate by comparing die photos of consumer and server versions of the Skylake core.)

If you're going to hypothesize about a rearranged Skylake core that no longer reserves space for the full 512 bit vectors in the register file, then you probably should also try to estimate the other area savings that would result from truly removing AVX512 from the core design at a high level, rather than merely masking off a few regions of silicon that serve no purpose other than AVX512 support. And answering that question is a lot more subjective than simply tallying up the area occupied by the extra execution units hanging off the side of the AVX512-enabled server Skylake cores.

Or, to put it another way: there unquestionably is an area cost to AVX512 beyond that of the extra execution units tacked on to SKL-X cores. But that cost was already being paid by consumer CPUs years before SKL-X/SKL-SP shipped. So it wasn't really a contributing factor to the loss of two cores when Skylaked-derived Comet Lake was succeeded by Rocket Lake.

My point was not that the conclusion (there are absolute moral truths, thus moral nihilism is false) is necessarily incorrect; it's that the arrival to the conclusion is based on a something I disagree with ("I have a ready example of an absolute moral truth."). I think there may be absolute moral truths, but that explaining them fully would be incredibly difficult or maybe impossible, and disproving moral nihilism that way would be intractible.

I also side with the lobsters, BTW :)
> Pocari Sweat is 67g/L of sugar and 490mg/L. This is on par with western sports drinks like Gatorade(59g/L sugar, 523mg/L sodium)or Powerade (57g/L sugar, 409mg/L sodium).

As a comparison, for oral hydration, WHO/UNICEF has 13.5 g/L of glucose and 2.6 g/L of salt (NaCL) in their formula:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy

That's about 6 teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt if all you have is volumetric measures.

For serious, medical dehydration use commercially-available oral rehydration salts: a homemade brew may not be enough (e.g., the packaged stuff also has potassium).
"I would wager that the integration of the Denisovians with this community's other ancestors happened in mainland Asia, long before their decedents traveled to the Philippines."

Cool idea. Where are you digging?

Are you aware of just how convoluted and bloody complicated things get when you look at notions like species in the past? Denisovans do not really have a fixed point in the taxonomy (whatever that really means.) Their existence is inferred from a few teeth and bones - good evidence though. Well let's put it like this: we know far more about Mars than the Denisovans.

You use terminology like "decedents traveled to the Philippines." I'll ignore speling but what you really mean is that some genes have been found, not fully formed descendants discovered. Unless you've got some eyewitness grade evidence, you cannot simply decide that someone clung to a log or paddled their canoe or sailed ... etc and lo the Philippines was won. That's simply silly and sounds like a US style "how the West was won" grade phantasy.

I'll wager that we will gradually learn a bit more about a group of early humans that we call Denisovans and the link with the Philippines. We already have a genomic link - a group there: Ayta Magbukon has more in common than anyone else. As to how those genes got there is unlikely to be worked out directly.

I really don't see the point of this device. There are a lot of feature phones with just the same capabilities, and even a little more (like basic web browsing support). Some of them can even have WhatsApp in case you need it (e.g., international text message). And they're way less expensive than this one (which is $300!).
Does it have a map?

That's the main smart feature I need.

All you've done here is defined something to be "wasteful" if it has no positive value already, so by definition banning it is not a negative. The problem is that you haven't managed to argue why straws fall into that category.

If people are using them, then almost by definition people are finding value from them, so you have to be more careful than that (not to mention the administrative cost of the ban, but let's ignore that here).

Straws are a small enough thing that it's easy to be mindlessly dismissive by saying "bring your own", but that does not actually advance your side of the argument at all. You can see how absurd that argument is when applying it to other things -- why not ban wasteful drink bottles and cans? Just bring your own cup or bottle from home. Or ban the wasteful automobile, just walk or ride or catch a bus if you want to go somewhere.

Or looking at it another way -- straws are such a minuscule part of the plastic pollution problem that banning them really doesn't matter right? If you can handwave away their small inconsequential value, then I can handwave away their small inconsequential impact.
Thanks - do you have any knowledge about the hydrating properties of these drinks?
But don't they want the cpi to go down right now? They can only do that by shredding dollars right?
Depends how you look at it. Reconciling input from a hundred different stakeholders all of whom have a slightly different mental model and worldview can definitely lead to mathematical complexity. Is it irreducible? It's sort of a philosophical question as you could keep hammering away at them to build a shared understanding and pare things away at the edges, and you could spend infinite time at this, but in the end you might reach a point where stakeholders would prefer it to fail than to make another concession.
>>>If a company is found to allow criminals to store CSAM on their servers

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that AWS, GCP, Azure, et al. have terabytes of CSAM stored within their data centers - because users have uploaded encrypted files and the companies (rightly) don't have the keys. I'll also bet there are many WD hard drives full of CSAM, many Linux servers hosting it, many nginx or apache installs serving it up, etc. Should we mandate that all hard drives scan files as they're written to see if it's CSAM? Or maybe nginx should alert law enforcement anytime a CSAM image is served.

Apple should have actually let their users have E2EE or given up on that and just scanned stuff server-side.

Looking at those ruins one can forget how relatively young that place is. And looking at mostly modern buildings at the village I come from - easy to forget that the place is much older than Machu Picchu. It was probably luck and the fact that my place is (and was) irrelevant - so it could survive.
So they just repeated that they're doing almost exactly what they told people they were doing? Yes, people took it to mean that they were scanning library photos ON the device, that's where the "confusion" was. However, they're still making it so parents can make it so their kids can't look at porn in iMessage and scanning pics uploaded to iCloud? Just the iCloud scanning probably doesn't happen on your device. And the iMessage scanning obviously does. Still sounds like a personal device having the capability of calling the cops on you. Am I wrong?
> The body doesn't care about how much salt it has, only what the concentration of salt is in the blood. As you lose water due to sweating, even through sweat does have some salt, overall the body is losing more water than salt, and therefore blood salt concentration increases. Of course over long periods you will deplete your salt reserves, but this will take a while.

That is contrary to medical advice, which is that you need to replace electrolytes after you sweat a lot.
I wasn't trying to make an assumption - the report just didn't read how I expected.

And I'm not absolving them of responsibility, but the richest countries pay to offload plastic on them knowing pretty well there is no way to get rid of it besides tossing it. Those Asian regions that burn it have awful air quality issues.

Should these regions refuse money for our plastic? Probably - but this paints an incomplete picture.

Asian importers pay for containers of clean, recyclable waste from the UK. When it arrives they find they've got a container full of general household waste, which is of no use for anything.

I don't know how common this is but there have been several UK companies prosecuted for it. I've also seen stories where British reporters have gone to Asia and documented piles of obviously British waste in local dumps. These stories crop up in the British media quite frequently.

Listen, your country needs to pay for infrastructure some way.

At least with electricity bill you have option to use less electricity and pay less taxes. Would you like it to be levied on some things you can't decide to use less?

If you think your country costs too much, vote for people that promise to make the government cost less.
