> Nature doesn’t provide enough water in a desert to be running sprawling metropolises

It sure does. Nature created us. We build desalination plants and pipelines. Humans are amazing.

There's no reason Arizona can't work with California to fund a bunch of desalination plants along the coast near San Diego (which already has relevant expertise at it). It's something like 120 miles from the ocean to Arizona's border, a quite solvable problem if an arrangement can be made with California.

Alternatively the Gulf of California is 50 miles away. Arizona can do a deal with Mexico. Mexico would agree to that instantly. See:

May 2021 "ACCIONA will build and operate a desalination plant in the municipality of Los Cabos, in Baja California (Mexico). The project has an overall budget of €134.5 million."

Perhaps, but I knew how my systems were set-up, and their connections were odd enough that I noticed them. I would suggest this shows that my security precautions were working well.
The rendering chugs, I mean -- evidently, it's still entirely CPU-side and doesn't do so great with camera-sized images. I should also specify that I'm on Windows, but have tried Linux too. I think it's probably just a matter of putting enough dev time into the GPU renderer.

It's in the solder used to join pipes together.

Even after "lead pipes" were banned in the US, it was still used to join copper pipe together.

It's also in solder used in electronics, although I doubt that half of American children have a parent who regularly solders at home.

This is my understanding as well. There's a lot of washing of components involved in the process. Cleanliness is crucial to chip manufacturing so wafers are constantly being washed. In newer lithographies, water is a crucial part of the the photo etching process itself (X-Ray IIRC).
Much better than the previous version but still very slow. But now it's usable on Mac at least!
As the text you are quoting (!) says, the first monks were solo: stylites on pillars, hermits in caves, etc. Communal monastic living came later, and brought with it the inevitable social tensions you see in any group of people living and working together.

People keep bringing up vision problems, but I think my biggest concern would be circadian rhythm. How does my brain know when to release sleepy chemicals when I shut off the daylight for 10 hours at a time? All that artificial light would really mess up my sleep patterns. Although, with the winters we have here, it wouldn't make a difference during the twilight months.

Unfortunately retrobriting doesn't take off surface dirt or ink or similar. Painting-like surface preparation is required beforehand. Just dumping sort-of-casually clean parts in the solution will lead to splotchiness and areas that don't get cleaned. The official site recommends a gentle dishwasher cycle, I've had luck with that.

In a way, its good it works that way. It doesn't strip off the apple logo or "mac" lettering or whatever.

Your theory is reasonable but it seems its actually breaking down a bromine based fire retardant. Bromine itself is kinda gross brown color and some oxides like dibromine pentoxide are clearish-white so its quite realistic that hitting it with an oxidizer clears things up.
> you'd need different prices for different types of consumers

Water shortages are a policy choice in any country above middle income. A simple x gallons for free per person or residence and market pricing thereafter would solve the issue for 90% of the spectrum, with potentially agricultural subsidies filling the gap. Instead, we choose a regressive policy system where individuals subsidise almond farmers.
I didn't ask them to look at my network. I then explicitly withdrew consent when they contacted me. They profit from the data they collected from me. This pushes them into crook territory in my opinion.

I'm well aware that crooks can connect to my systems: that's why Shodan came to my attention.

I find vulnerabilities by scanning my own network, I don't need someone else to profit by doing that against my permission.

>someone who wants more Afghan Muslims to die

I've never seen anyone impugn motive so recklessly.
It's a tough problem, probably impractical, for this reason:

Machine learning models do a good job learning to classify texts by topic. You'd have no problem separating out texts on, say, abortion, electoral politics, quantum physics, and molecular biology. The basis for that is that different topics use different vocabulary.

If you threw a bunch of texts at your classifier you'd probably mix up "topic" and "is propaganda." For instance articles about abortion and smartphones might be intended to persuade, but articles about ham radio and japanese animation might not be.

Machine learning models are famous for "cheating" by taking advantage of whatever features work for the training set without any knowledge that topic and "is propaganda" could or should be separated from each other.

It's a ToS violation, but you can still do it. Facebook will only ask for ID verification after they locked your account, but not while creating it. Locking of accounts is however pretty common.
Very exciting. Object storage is getting really competitive and i love the naming scheme alliance - S3, B2 (Backblaze) and now R2, who will do one with a “1”?

On a serious note i’m wondering about the signed urls and ACL capabilities of the cloudflare offering cause this is something we use.

I’m also interested does R2 replace S3 and CloudFront at the same time? That’d be nice and one headache less.

That's quite interesting, thanks for the insight!

I hadn't thought about the possibility for spaces to replace the room directory, although it will always be needed to some extent.

Spaces could also be useful for moderation/reputation, child rooms (and users) could inherit some score from a space. It should be possible to compute the shortest distance between two spaces from a user's perspective. Even stuff like ignored users could be part of a per-user space used for computing "reputation" points. Kind of a space-based social graph.
Ah, such is life. The cycle continues.

I'm a current user of Fastmail and set up a wildcard alias for this purpose:

https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000277942-Ca...

When I get spam to a particular alias, I blacklist it to my spam folder. Naturally this might get a little difficult if a spam bot ever figures this out where I'd need to move to a whitelist rather than blacklist process. But it's worked flawlessly for years so far.

At least with my method I don't need to create the alias in advance.
Definitely sounds like a lot. Perhaps conservation efforts are in order, to reduce water waste by ~1% to allow for this strategically important, high value added industry to develop further. Thankfully, water waste is so rife in Arizona that it shouldn't be all that difficult to do so.

Does this also work for existing accounts within 1Password with e-mail addresses attached?

I can't find anything in the 1Password interface to change a login for current accounts.

All the language makes it sound like it's only upon login/account creation.

I guess the fallback is just manually creating one in Fastmail, but it's a bummer if you can't just do it from one place in 1Password.
Sure, it really depends on the subject. I have a slight preference for the quick meeting (5 minutes) -with a followup email- rather than a long come and go in slack.
A single file is just the deployment, something you don't really have to worry about. Setup your project and source code to have a pipeline with multiple files and libraries as you want, and let the deployment step (with wrangler) wrap up everything and publish it.
The Quest 2 works without any stationary equipment. (LIDARs, whatever.) This makes it massively more portable, and the resolution is almost good enough. It's also much cheaper.

Personally I wouldn't do it, but it'd be difficult to use a setup based around e.g. the Pimax without building a room around it, and... at that point why not just install some regular monitors? You can buy quite a few at that price point.
Not challenging you, but I'd love to see some hard numbers on this. Like what is the total volume of water, recycle rate and. discharge rate and intake rate over a year.

Is it low enough to truck the water in?

What is your webXR support going to be? I think for business applications, webXR is going to be the communication medium of choice.

Nothing beats HTML for expressiveness and transmit-ability, and with frameworks like A-Frame you already have an enormous amount of software written for your headset.

Between you guys and Frame.work, it feels like hardware might get inspiring again. Good luck!
Because security is an illusion, and theater is a part of that. January 6th shattered part of that illusion and, having happened, it is now a part of the consciousness. Every protest will now be a possible threat, a chance for fear to win. Until there is enough time passed for it to fade it must not be reproduced. Also, I don't want a situation where 1500 capitol police even have to defend our institutions. Getting to that point is already a major lose.
Some people have been pushing for persona liability with the police. I think we could assume in this better world we are dreaming of where citizens can arrest an officer they also have personally liability.

Typical. Those still exorting us that lockdowns were worth it, are those who did not feel the ill effects. Personally, lockdown as I experienced it here in Wales (which was particularly draconian and frankly absurd at times) was absolutely brutal on the social and emotional health of my family and those closest to me. I know one young family in particular who I don't think will ever be the same again. Combined with the almost complete lack of subjective evidence, as I go about my days, of any kind of deadly pandemic, you'll forgive me for my opinions.

Edit: Not forgetting the financial repercussions, which I suspect as a helpless taxpayer, will burden my family for the rest of my working life. The UK has already imposed a whole new tax, to try and dig the NHS out of the hole it is in.

It's sad but at least on days where I'm that busy I don't have time to feel down or demotivated. Literally the pace and busy-ness forces me to remain focussed. I end up feeling depressed and deflated if I have room to breath. I think that is just me though and for most people having lots of free time is obviously better.
It's a live (active) power source even if it's being commissioned. I don't think it's a crime against humanity but it sure created pollution and waste.
Water should be a basic human right. No human should ever be priced out. Whatever infrastructure is needed to bring potable water to people, the government should pay for it. The whole point of governments is to pay for basic infrastructure like this. Taxes ought to fund something other than politician corruption.

Corporations on the other hand have no human rights at all. They can and should be priced out.
Great news! Do you have a source for that?
That sounds like depression. I'm tempted to say that you're not very much in touch with the emotions that are causing you to have this problem.

Some options:

* take a break

* investigate how you feel about your work

* is there something you need to attend to that you're not?

* consider seeing a "talking" therapist

* see your primary care physician, get your thyroid checked and anything else they suggest, consider trying an SNRI or SSRI

I remember reading about using Brasso to de-yellow LEGO but I've never tried it myself.
The Cloudflare offering supports their serverless Workers compute which would make signed URLs and ACLs trivial. Cloudflare certainly would also be replacing CloudFront.

Very nice work. Glad to see both classification and regression treated very well, with careful attention to design to make something that is easy to understand.

Now the question is - can we build on this (or do something analogous) for tree ensembles? Random Forests, Gradient Boosted Trees etc. Quite common to use that to gain predictive accuracy, though interpretability/explainability tends to suffer considerably.
Sorry, can’t resist but you gotta love the units. Gallons, acre foot. Thank god the US isn’t socialist metric where one unit can easily be converted to another :)
I use fastmail's * alias against a custom domain, to achieve a similar thing. It forwards mail at any address to my normal email, then I just pick a name on signup, ie. hn@emaildomain.com.

I have registered a domain just for the purpose which doesn't have my name in it or host any websites or anything else which can be used to leak my identity with a whois privacy guard service.

It has the dual advantages of being guessable by me if something goes tits up with my self-hosted bitwarden, and I can eyeball who has leaked my email address on incoming spam.
> Hitman's main campaign and bonus missions can be played offline, but content including Elusive Targets, Escalation missions (bonus levels and challenges made by developer IO Interactive) and user-generated Contract missions require an online connection to play.

I think this article misses one of the major issues here. While yes you can play the entire campaign offline, you do not get access to the progression system. Sure you can beat the game with the very basics, but that isn't really the core of the game imo. Replaying levels with different strategies(weapons, tools, outfits, starting locations) is the real meat of the game.

I feel the problem is more in that we are forced to work N hours per day, when realistically, we are not getting any more stuff DONE than if we were working N/2 hours per day. Unnecessary meetings and other bad practices eat up not only our time, but our ONLY time.

We only have one life. WHY are we forced to use 30-50% of our lives to be able to ”enjoy” the rest?

I read the first paragraph and I can't imagine that's what people's lives could be like in a civilized country. I would never accept mixing job responsibilities with private life in this totally overwhelming way.

The Christian monastic life is nothing like living in farming community. The monasteries rules every detail of your life. There are rules about what and when you can do, say, eat, wear, everything. On the extreme end, you have monks who can see other people for like 1 hour a day or did wow of silence. Oh, and they dont get to pick person they will be with during that 1 hour of socialization. The rest of time is in isolation and activities for every minute are prescribed.

And even in more moderate monasteries, you still have whole day prescribed. Who you socialize with is controlled too. You don't get to voice opinion about rules. You don't get to pick up friends you have fun with in the evening.
For cell phones we’ve legislated that you can take your number with you.

Yup. We call this "widgets", and it lets you embed arbitrary web UI into a Matrix client. MSC1236 is the base proposal (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1236) which Element implements, and there are a stack of other proposals on top of it which need to be merged into the main spec.

This is how Element embeds Jitsi today, and was extensively used for FOSDEM 2021 (https://matrix.org/blog/2021/02/15/how-we-hosted-fosdem-2021...). We're currently adding "full-screen" widgets too, though, as well as "inline widgets" (for polls etc).
It's noise. Worry about teaching kids to look both ways etc before obsessing about this one, is my advice.

I've been snoozing those people for 30 days...not because I'm angry with them, but because it's the ONLY signal Facebook exposes to adjust things. Perhaps if they see a steep decline in my feed based on this stuff, they'll adjust (but I doubt it).

I've had a couple ofpoints int he past where I've broken my graf hard enough for the The Algorhythm to break down and it's kinda interesting.

I wonder how many people commenting read the article in full, as it seems most points did not come across.

It's not singularly about owning music media versus Spotify, the author lists many other issues with collecting in the digital sense.

Such as apps updating and breaking or moving your carefully curated digital collection. Services that may shutdown entirely. Links that break. Timeline algorithms removing personal choice and discovery. In general, digital being very fleeting and impersonal.
The tricky bit here is that advertisers don't need their ads to work, they just need to convince their customers they do. Even if there are reasons to question the metrics used to measure effectiveness (see e.g. [1]) this is all meaningless if ad companies still succeed in convincing people they are selling something of value. Which ironically does mean that one way or another advertising companies are good at advertising something it just might not be the thing they're getting paid for.

Isn’t the obvious answer to redistribute wealth? Anyway, this is the whole deal with curbing climate change—it’s going to be an economic burden by definition. You’re going from externalizing a cost to internalizing it, so someone is going to have to pay a little more than normal. We need to work to make people understand that this transition won’t be easy precisely because we kicked the can so far down the road.
