I can accept that he really likes the product, but even then, the point of the article is broken.I cannot imagine any scenario in which a professional photographer would use a mobile device for legitimate client work, unless he is paid by Apple. There is no way in hell it is on par with professional equipment. The battery alone is a huge detriment to field work.

To your points, these are nice new features. That in no way means that a professional photographer should say "you can be as good as me with these new features!"
psst, don't tell google, but sometimes I like to click the triple dots next to a search result and copy the url in the popup box to the clipboard to get the url without any of the tracking crap.

Can you explain the advantage of using these Gn curves instead of just using a larger radius?

In the Medium article, the comparison between the Apple and non-Apple would be less striking if the non-Apple version had a larger radius.

I'd honestly rank Rupert Murdoch up there with the worst human beings who have ever lived. It may seem strange on the surface to rank him alongside the tyrants and warlords of human history, but history will condemn him utterly for building one of world's most powerful influence machines and using it to promote climate change denial on an unprecedented scale.

I'm a fan of B2 as well, but for some use-cases they seriously need to up their game. They only have three datacenters (CA, AZ, and Amsterdam), they still don't have a public status page, their admin UI is lacking lots of features (like proper invoices and different 2FA options), their permission system is very basic and inflexible, and they are not integrating compute with storage like AWS already does and Cloudflare will eventually be able to. However they are impossible to beat on cost, and for me their latency has recently improved significantly and has become much more stable, so I'm not going to move anytime soon.
GP mentioned impedance, not resistance. You won't feel anything touching the 12/24V terminals in your car because they're DC. Your skin has a high resistance, but when faced with AC, has a low impedance. This makes AC much more dangerous, as you conduct 120V AC much better than 120V DC.

Even 50mA will likely kill you, as outlined on the "death graph" as we electricians call it. This is independent of voltage.

Blue is harmless and imperceptible, green is harmless, yellow is harmful, red is fibrillation.

Edit: This illustrates why 30mA (or less) RCD protection is common (and required) in various jurisdictions, depending on the kind of circuits you're serving.
996 needs to stop being a thing
Replying to this since it's the highest one at this point, but also a response to @piaste and @distances: I know about catch-all accounts, and more complex wildcard options that can exist. But to me those don't really quite hit all the use cases that site-specific ones do when it comes to spam and such, and I have seen emails get leaked from hacks or just plain "we share only with trusted 3rd parties!" buried somewhere. And I suspect if they become popular enough it's only a matter of time before spammers add some sort of "this looks like a catch-all account type email, try sending random stuff" to their logic. On the other hand they are indeed zero friction, so a valid option depending on where in the stack one wants to handle things.

The single other significant issue I can think of which has come up actually is when one desires to actually use email for two-way communication with a site, not just receiving stuff. Sending from aliases isn't really practical, spoofing the from address even from the same domain has a high chance of trigger all sorts of spam protection for obvious reasons. I'm sure there is probably some way to handle it from one's own server but that has its own challenges. So sending mail ends up being from a different address as the account, which most places don't seem to care about but seems to hit automated edge cases and snag things up once in a while.

What kind of speed difference are you seeing with B2 vs S3?
Tab grouping is not a good example.

Firefox has the Simple Tab Groups extension, which works with containers. Chrome not only doesn't have containers, but its tab grouping is clunky and featureless in comparison.
So I largely agree, but it's not that "other people are hellish", it's that they are, in fact, hell.

Satre is using the word hell to mean "the afterlife" i.e. we live on in other people's minds and opinions whether we like it or not.

Also people don't have to be dysfunctional for it to be a form of torture, we are trapped in their minds (gaze?) no matter what.
Neither my identity here, my domain or my account on njal.la is connected to anything in my real life so not sure why it would be a bad idea?
I might be mistaken here, but from what I've read on lead, we already know relatively well what amount of lead is safe, according to body weight etc. We also know that our bodies can deal with these small amounts, by actually getting rid of some of it. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the matter can chime in?
I see. I agree, that's pure bullshit. Google's intentions are transparent.

Can you confirm the new declarative APIs work as intended? Maybe they do restrict extensions. I agree that it's pointless if they don't remove the older APIs.
In theory I agree, and what works for one team may not work for another (Scrum and Agile are just a starting point).

We do a decent amount of up-front planning before committing to work, so day-to-day there aren't a ton of directional decisions left to make. So what works for us are two questions:

- What are you working on?
- What are your blockers?
All communication is propaganda to some extent, there is "what I'm saying" and then there's "why I'm saying it to you"...

Get more involved in the data, draw you up lists of scored adjectives and see if you can get a "favorable" to "pejorative" sentiment analysis on some samples that looks right. Then anything that scores to either extreme from random inputs is more likely to be propaganda.

Of course that only reflects your original scoring back but that doesn't mean it hasn't got value; just you have to be careful to seperate that bias back out again.

For actual data; look at textfiles.org political and issue 'zines. usenet archives from misc.activism.* and so on could be good sources too.
I recently started keeping about 30TB of ElasticSearch and Postgres backups in Backblaze B2. The price is great, but getting data in is not particularly easy as the Backblaze S3 API seems to fail a high proportion of requests when under load.

If R2 can be approximately as reliable on ingest as AWS/GCS/Azure is, but without the egress fees of the other major providers, then $0.015/GB-month seems like a pretty good deal.
Space hierarchies already have a binary social graph effectively in the form of their decentralised ACLs (i.e. PLs etc). You could group MSC2313 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2313) reputation lists into a space hierarchy though to curate them though... and assign reputation to spaces similarly to rooms via MSC2313 too.
I wonder if this is tied in with haveibeenpwned.com? Compromised emails could almost be deleted automatically.
yea agree, but further:

We absorb our own interpretation of the critiques and judgements of others into our psyche because how can we know other than through our own thoughts and feelings

> The ads are valuable for a reason – they work.

I'll remind everyone that from my experience (starting a web shop and also being a target of ads) there is a lot to be said about ads. Ubers observations a few months back was no big surprise for me.

We turned off one particular network that according to their statistics were involved in most of our sales. Result: too small to measure.

Same goes for my observations as a consumer: I'm fairly certain what ad I get shown is decided not by how relevant it is but by who is dumb enough to pay the most for it without measuring results.
The Facebook angle to this sounds absolutely heinous, but just what have they done to lock the headset to Facebook? Is there some kind of secret handshake/encryption going on?

If someone from the Evil Empire was here, it would be interesting to get some notion how Facebook checks identity. Is there some huge glom of software that compares online activity, public records, phone records, bank records, credit records, etc. to make sure you're an OK person?

Most tech jobs outside the FAANGS and the startup bubble are 9-5, e.g. working as a developer for a regional bank or a local hospital. You don't get the enormous salaries, but it's a nice life overall. And re: where to live, generally anywhere outside the trendy metros. There are tons of boring jobs in boring suburbs that allow you to live your life.
Australia has lost one-third of its koalas in the past three years
As romantic as the US gallantly defending Taiwan from the Chinese invaders sounds, let's be honest. The US could do little more than buy the Taiwanese some time to escape.

If the CCP ever decides it's time to take control of Taiwan by force, they could. It's the economic backlash from the rest of the world they are currently worried about, not military resistance. Although I'm not sure just how much they even have to be worried about economically considering how the world has handled recent CCP atrocities.

I played around with Risc-V on this platform. Super easy and fun.
You mention Ko-fi and BMC in a list with Patreon. They are completely unlike Patreon since they also give you complete control. Ko-fi in particular is funded entirely on Gold subscriptions and the optional 5% platform fee, manages subscriptions and payments via your own Stripe and PayPal accounts, lets you download emails, and the staff is helpful and responsive.

I don't get the impression you researched enough to understand the platforms you're creating an alternative to. What do you actually offer that BMC and Ko-fi don't? Ko-fi in particular has the good image among creators Patreon had before its 2017 fee debacle. Ko-fi also has name recognition comparable to Patreon with enough people who already have accounts to make the payment process easy. I've never met anyone who has anything other than glowing praise for it.
Really curious to see how this goes. If they live up to the following paragraph, that's pretty game-changing:

>> This cheaper price doesn’t come with reduced scalability. Behind the scenes, R2 automatically and intelligently manages the tiering of data to drive both performance at peak load and low-cost for infrequently requested objects. We’ve gotten rid of complex, manual tiering policies in favor of what developers have always wanted out of object storage: limitless scale at the lowest possible cost.

The amount of effort it takes to understand and account for S3 Intelligent Tiering is somewhat mind-blowing so to get rid of all of that (and the corresponding fees) would be really nice and TheWayThingsShouldBe™ for the customer -- on top of that most users just don't even know S3 Intelligent Tiering exists so it'll be great if Cloudflare just handles that automatically.

We at https://vantage.sh/ (disclosure, I'm the Co-Founder and CEO) recently launched a cross-provider cost recommendation for CloudFront Egress to Cloudflare which was really popular and I can imagine doing something similar for S3 -> R2 once it is live and we are able to vet it.
I have suggested integrating with Mumble before, it would be a great way to interact.

Add a "info.mumble.servers" or "info.mumble.channels" state event, some magic on murmur's side to authenticate using Matrix, and roll with it in your own Matrix client. Pinned messages with mumble:// URIs could be used as a fallback.

One of the issues is that upstream mumble lacks support for websockets, so web clients are impossible. Otherwise, it sounds quite promising.

I even suggested something along these lines, but haven't had time to cook up a prototype: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/1813#issuecomme... (there seems to have been some back-and-forth on that idea since then).
Observationally heat seems to make plastics more brittle than sunlight. Top of dash car parts seem about as brittle as shaded bottom of dash car parts.

Field service people seem to kill laptops in a couple years, although we're talking about hours long process not years so that shouldn't matter, anyway I don't recall the exposed tops of their laptops being worse than the bottoms of their laptops.

The scientific debate about plastic breakdown seems to be over centuries vs thousands of years exposures so mere hours will be fine.

I've created so many failed projects.

In a sense, I've intended for these projects to fail.

I throw something out there, see if it sticks, and is worth pursuing. Most things aren't worth pursuing. I get bored, distracted, and find something else "shiny" to do for a while. That "shiny" thing is usually my actual business. Sometimes one of my projects succeeds, and becomes an "actual" business. Other times, it sort-of hangs on for years on auto-pilot. Sometimes one of those auto-pilot things takes off. If not, that's fine.

Many of these projects can be thought of like R&D; most R&D, really, is a dead end, or something that quietly gets folded into a pre-existing project, or just gets turned into "useful knowledge" for the next bit of research.
While it may have more resources, state level actors are just as prone to a low level worker wanting to just get it over with so they can go home as any other large bureaucracy. Sure some plans are tripple vetted and done with extreme care, but sometimes someone just says at 4PM on a Friday “Hey Carl, can we get a few bots on these tweets?”

That said, I also wouldn’t say that just because it came out of China it has to be the government at work anyway. Plenty of small bot groups get made by a person who really cares about X thing, and there are plenty of super patriotic Chinese citizens on the Chinese web.
Oil Spills
Contrary to common belief, cities do not really need gigantic amounts of water. You take a shower, water goes down the drain, you can reclaim most of it if you want to. Don't allow irrigated lawns, reclaim gray water, urban water needs drop to a trickle. AZ is a leader in this space.
My wife and I are particularly concerned about lead, especially since there is no way to really cure lead poisoning. Any house built before the 1980s could have lead in it, with varying degrees of concern for children. Around the home here is what we found are sources of lead to worry about (or not):

- Paint: lead was banned in paint in 1979, but lead was used less and less even before the cutoff date. Paint is especially a problem when it is chipping or wearing off, like on windows or doors.

- Plumbing. Very old homes may have lead pipes which should be removed. Lead solder was used with copper pipes until ~1984, but this is somewhat less of a concern, depending on your water source (cities can change the water to leach less lead from pipes).

- Plumbing fixtures: this is actually a pretty major source of lead in water, and luckily it is easy to change old faucets. You can run water for a minute to mitigate risk with old faucets.

- Flooring: Lead can be in any ceramic tiles, but generally not too much. It is only a problem if you are removing tiles and are creating lots of dust.

In theory scaling the NewSQL system means just adding a new node. In practice the manually partitioned system may perform better but it’s actually due to trade offs that lower availability. In either case you have some metadata helping to direct queries to the right node. Of course, banning certain joins can help a db scale.
What Is the Mass Effect Gravity Assist
If you follow some links in the OP you can end up at a source article[1] that has some comments on the actual chemical processes occurring for both the discolouration and reversal (Ctrl-F "bromine").

TL;DR: Over time the bromine based flame retardants in retro-era plastics degrade (hence the yellow/brown colour) and H2O2 plus some energy (UV light/heat) can be used to reverse the process.
