There's acutely unhealthy for sensitive groups and there's long term unhealthy for anyone.

Convincing reasons exist to think that significantly lower levels than are acutely unhealthy have long term health impacts. On top of that, you don't really need a sensor to know whether or not your air has particulate levels that are acutely unhealthy, you just know it.

If you don't care or only want to know if your air is quite bad, sure, buy one of these. I don't think it's a reasonable level, but you do you.
Of course it doesn't count. Two countries is a drop in the ocean.

If you want to be right, maybe name it more like "The Minor Resignation".
in the US, they’re always on the right. ie, in the direction of traffic
I'm confused by this too. Sounds like he's only believed to be the owner of the original 1 million BTC. I think until he actually moves 1 coin, most people remain very skeptical. Can someone correct me? I guess that would bring into question what he was being sued for if there wasn't definitive proof.
+1000 for Monroe Dairy.

Nostalgia alone would almost make me a customer. But now I'm so used to milk from their glass bottles that I really notice (and dislike) the taste of milk from plastic.

> The numbers in my house were effectively off the charts

Did you get a measurement done, and if so where do you go to get that?
Interesting, looks like the South Bay has some similar numbers: https://covid19.sccgov.org/dashboard-wastewater but I suppose having milder weather hasn't seen as serious an uptick as Massachusetts?
We'd have to ask them why they choose to work at Amazon over any other number of employers throwing themselves at applicants, I guess.
He testified that he owns that bitcoin, but we don't really know that he does.
Wouldn't it be a far easier solution to run a regular relay node that can also be guard node but only for you? So nobody except you knows.
Yes, but that is what I think the press should support, rather than amplifying the most outrage producing view of the situation (of the type where the headline reads: "Company B's faulty widgets lead to Person A's excruciating death!" subtitle: "Screamed for hours the whole time he was dying. Family sues for millions" and then you later find out that Person A bought a bank vault full of widgets and swan dived into them like Scrooge McDuck).

Neutral news, or at least somewhat equally amplified and balanced views that don't have to be arbitrarily oppositional in nature.
Seems like it’d be a pretty flat, unremarkable chart.
If you create a "web3" website, it's up to you how decentralized you want that experience to be. You could have your content hosted on Filecoin, perform computation on ICP or Arweave, provide IPFS hashes to your users using open standards (HTML, JSON, Markdown, etc) with simple export functionality, open source code, ENS domain, etc.

If you take payments on your site via crypto, I'm not sure what you mean by "not accepting payments from criminals", as this is not a service provided by Visa or MasterCard either. I have a feeling running a criminal background check on all your users might impact your conversion rate, but you are as free to do that in Web3 as in Web2. (What are you selling that you would need to be concerned with such things anyways? If I'm selling an honest product or service, I don't care who buys it.)

There is no SLA. If you need an SLA you can create a hybrid site that both stores files in a central server and also backs them up to Filecoin or Arweave or Sia or Chia or whatever file network you like. But decentralization does tend to lend itself to resiliency, for example, Ethereum has 100% uptime over the past 6 years.
As bad as the traffic fatalities are in SF, I hope the city also puts a similar amount of thought and care into crime prevention. That and outdoor defecation are the two most visible things effecting quality of life in SOMA.
This street has many highrise offices, universities and residential buildings around it so its a destination of a lot of foot traffic from buildings, not so much somewhere you drive to access. There are also multi level parks on the ends, you just can't drive through it.
Sure, who is going to provide that? FDIC is a government backed insurance. I imagine there is little to replace government backed insurance with a private equivalent. If there is it would surprise me but even if this were to happen but is the benefit over a non-crypto currency?
There exist legal 75mpg tin cans for consenting adults, only they have two wheels rather than four, and the rider gets wet when it rains and sweats when it's hot.
I recall many years ago that I had almost been run over by a police officer in the bay area making a left turn too short (and drove into the left lane of oncoming traffic). My bicycle was destroyed but fortunately I had survived unscathed.

I've noticed unless there's a car in a left lane, drivers often will cut into the oncoming left lane to prevent going too far right. I think it would be beneficial to add some sort of bollard between lanes so cars do not overcorrect, and could save lives from that implicit blindspot.
OK...

So, I'm the tech lead for Cloudflare Workers. In complete honestly, I did not even know we ran some sort of comparison benchmark with Compute@Edge until Fastly complained about it, nor did I know about our ToS clause until Fastly complained about it. I honestly don't know anything about either beyond what's publicly visible.

But as long as we're already mud slinging, I'd like to take the opportunity to get a little something off my chest. Fastly has been trumpeting for years that Compute@Edge has 35 microsecond cold starts, or whatever, and repeatedly posting blog posts comparing that against 5 milliseconds for Workers, and implying that they are 150x faster. If you look at the details, it turns out that 35 microsecond time is actually how long they take to start a new request, given that the application is already loaded in memory. A hot start, not a cold start. Whereas Workers' 5ms includes time to load the application from disk (which is the biggest contributor to total time). Our hot start time is also a few microseconds, but that doesn't seem like an interesting number?

We never called this out, it didn't seem worth arguing over. But excuse me if I'm not impressed by claims of false comparisons...

On a serious note, I've been saying for decades that benchmarks are almost always meaningless, because different technologies will have different strengths and weaknesses, so you usually can't tell anything about how your use case will perform unless you actually test that use case. So, I would encourage everyone to run your own test and don't just go on other people's numbers. It's great that Fastly has opened up C@E for self-service testing so that people can actually try it out.
A reductive take. Where is the evidence that rent increase = wage increase?
Media Outlets can lie about anything, that includes already objectively justified data that came out of a direct legal proceeding.

I've seen this done a lot and it's done in such a way where they have blatantly lied and stated "X did Y" but actually the case stated and proved that "X never did Y".

How to correct that Media Outlet? Waste $$$ and time to get them to change their fake news. It doesn't work.
My first time in SF was... interesting. Where I'm from (Ireland), a red means stop, not "only stop if you might be driving into traffic", which is what it seems to boil down to in the US. Let's just say I got a _nasty_ surprise when I discovered turns on red were a thing.

It's without a doubt one of the most pedestrian unfriendly bits of law I've come across.
Something like ranger?

Ctrl-S opens the shell in the current directory, l/right opens what's under the cursor if it's a regular file or navigates to it if it's a directory.
Could be that it's something other than temperature. Soil chemistry stuff, fewer insects than before, etc.

Could be that we were just wrong about how quickly growth restarts after a fire.
Forest management history is complex and varied, and depends a lot on specific details about the forests.

Logging practices over the past two hundred years have had big impacts on how the forest ecology works: what trees grow, what animals and insects live there and how much floor litter there is. All of this has an impact on whether a fire comes through and sterilizes the soil or leaves it fertile.

There was immense pressure for the forest service to support logging and grazing, both of which dramatically alter the landscape.

Another complication is that the native Americans in the area had their own silviculture practice that optimized for their own needs (by and large not lumber), so pre-white historical guides aren’t necessarily “natural” either.

So the forests always regrew, but then we changed them (and stopped allowing fires). In the meanwhile the environment changed as we pumped more carbon into the atmosphere. Now when we reintroduce fire the results are different.
Could you move the infobox to the right of the bodyContent?

This is how it looks for me: https://imgur.com/jZcbtUM

The main text is just too narrow. There's enough empty space to the right of the bodyContent div for the infobox without squeezing the text like that.

I'm thinking, it should be something like this: https://imgur.com/arNwTDr
What's the expected percentage of regrowth plots after 15 years?
There was a patch released in 2007 that allowed access to the new formats from the older software... thus the users didn't have to learn new UI, and could still deal with new incoming files just fine. We really didn't have any trouble exchanging files with the rest of the world.

As for Windows updates, we did those.
In theory XHTML was nice as it allowed easier parsing of pages, but in practice it was doomed to fail from the moment a single bracket off made entire sites to stop working. That W3C put their hands in their ears going all lalalalala while ignoring how the world actually used HTML is what led to their irrelevance in defining HTML and essentially giving control to Google, et al.

IMO the "robustness principle" is a good thing because it realizes that people make mistakes and their goal isn't to make something correct but something that produces the results they want to see. Even if browsers started with XHTML-like strictness with no alternative, that strictness would quickly have eroded during the first browser wars.
Five whys is a good technique if you are in a position to truly apply it. Most people are heavily incentivized not to ask the right questions. So it can become yet another kabuki process quite easily.
If you disagree with NASA's estimates for how much a Shuttle mission cost, you should take that up with NASA.
Recursion that cannot support arbitrary recursion depths is not optional, but broken. Going from a high-level programming language to assembly is going down the level of abstraction. I don't recommend that, unless there is a really good reason to. Iteration and tail recursion is the same level of abstraction.

I am not arguing against recursion. I am saying, do it right. Otherwise it is useless.
I see what you're saying. It is very admirable when people engage in these communities, cross boundaries and educate others. It's also a lot of work. Even if we take your premise that most of the country is fine, there's a lot of work to be done in encountering innocent ignorance. Some of the more hurtful, frustrating experiences have come from innocent ignorance. Just because people "don't care about race", doesn't mean they're always great at interacting with other races. Some people are willing to either put in the work or ignore these unpleasantries and survive. Others are not. They may not relish being obligated to act as a representative for a race or a culture in their community. They may not like having to ignore or brush off remarks that are not so great, even if they're meant in good faith

Roxane Gay has a good bit in one of her essays about how she struggled to help the black and LGBT organizations in colleges. She felt obligated as one of the few black queer professors, but that obligation in of itself really wore her down. Being a minority can be an extra job and some people do not want that responsibility.
If you believe a values problem isn't actionable, you're not thinking for the long term.

It's the foundation of strategy.
When I propagate a plant I am literally pulling (well, cleanly cutting) a part off of the plant. A non-zero cost clone if you will. Propagation seems appropriately descriptive; as in, I'm pulling from a source to have a local copy - without telling the full story.

The fiction (useful or otherwise) seems to be the use of propagation to explain why updates don't appear immediately. One doesn't follow from the other, as in, you'll always get the most recent information from your source . . . but have you considered TTLs?

A useful fiction is always a stepping stone to a more fulsome understanding.

All in all, a good article that takes another step past the fiction of propagate.
> If you work on a factory floor and you are operating machinery and kill someone, it's your fault.

I worked around heavy machinery and I know that's not true. I'm talking dramatically large forklifts for picking up massive shipping containers. It is the job of both the operator and the person on the ground to coordinate their activity. If the person on the ground has signaled it is safe for the operator to move the container and then steps into an unsafe position (eg: walking when there is no signal, or the signal is red) the operator isn't at fault. That doesn't mean that an operator can go around squashing people for fun, but there are rules and procedure for everyone's safety. This blame-the-driver rhetoric is just odd.
Completely agree - why daylighting isn't more comprehensive in SF boggles the mind. Someone above blamed the A-pillar. I think parked cars are a significantly worse problem in SF for turning visibility and daylighting is very limited.
I experienced the brutal heat wave that hit the Bay Area in 2020, along with awful wildfires and started smoking 1 cigarette a day. My thinking was, if the climate is this bad now (2020), it's going to be significantly worse by 2050.

This isn't to say one shouldn't take care of their body, I go to the gym 2-3 times and a week and do lots of cycling.

The fact about how many old trees have died in the last century saddens me in a peculiar way.
It's demonstrably difficult to build political opposition to such wars when most peoples' lives aren't on the line.

When a person has terminal cancer of some kinds, fentanyl and even morphine can't fully stop the pain. So there is a standard surgical procedure where they go in and cut a primary nerve.

That is in effect what was done in eliminating the draft. It did away with the feedback loop, not the problem.
The standard abbreviation for litre is uppercase L.
if you benchmark your competitor, your competitor should have the ability to provide tuning so their numbers look as good as possible, before you run to the press.
this is true for the Western Sierra mountains also.. but a big catch is, the Western Sierras and the Eastern Colorado Rockies are carefully studied by competent people with excellent equipment, while vast stretches of northern forests in other parts of the world, are similarly suffering (fires) but with very little detail available. Geopolitics interferes as the political governments are rivals.

Read about Anchor Bias, Bitcoin is the Original invention that sparked all the altcoin/shitcoin/cryptocurrency market. All other "Crypto Currencies" are securities created by individuals who premined it for benefiting in the future like ethereum which has infinite supply controlled by one man also its primary purpose is to launch other tokens on top of it.

Right! If you've got a window that narrow, the only way the design will even work or layout correctly is with the "mobile" layout...

The bigger problem is people hiding functionality if you're in the mobile breakpoint. That's an issue: all functionality should be enabled, at least in some way IMO. Mobile should never be a second class citizen :)
Yeah its terrifying. As he says "They are reckless & can see the main road is clear", blind spots are scary.
> Name any CSS or JS exploit that had meaningful real-world impact in the last decade. The tale of frequent compromises of browsers via ads is told merely to legitimize the practice of blocking even entirely plain and benign ads.

I think the actual malware infections themselves legitimize the practice of blocking even entirely plain and benign ads.

Ads do still infect people with malware.
https://blog.confiant.com/tag-barnakle-the-malvertiser-that-...
Hell, yahoo was hit not that long ago and users were at risk of infection just by loading yahoo.com.

JS exploits and malware written in JS are common, but so far I haven't seen CSS used to infect systems, just steal data/log keystrokes and add a lot of privacy concerns which is bad enough. I'm already keeping an eye out for a CSS blocker that will only allow a sane subset of CSS and block or limit externally hosted resources.
Ah right, that's an awful one. This is one of the worst examples I find in my vicinity, no new road would ever get designed like this. To thin.

https://goo.gl/maps/8wP7UUb5ZtFm7uu87

Here's a more newly designed one, it should be possible to wait with a bike or a stroller there and still feel safe. See this high traffic and speed intersection without any lights. Would still want completely separated lanes though.

https://goo.gl/maps/uxR3zdMw2w2p6zcE6
That is an incredibly naive view of the world. Just look at all the disinformation rampant on Facebook and the antivax hellscape we now live in. You can't possibly look at that and think things got "disinfected" through awareness.

> Unless you think people are default evil, bad ideas will stay bad ideas without an intermediary forcing their will upon them.

This is also not correct. People aren't neccessarily evil by default, but they are stupid and easily manipulable. Just look at QAnon for another example.
> No donations should result in no expectations

Let's not take to a literal extreme the OP's simplified expression. It's a matter of degree, like almost everything in life.

Money is not the only source of responsibility. Most responsibilities in life are not a consequence of payment - from one perspective, payment-for-services exists to fill gaps in other responsibilities, to create artificial responsibility.

In gorhill's situation, speaking generally from my perspective (and not for gorhill), payment would seem to increase responsibility but it would not be absolute: People shut down for-profit businesses all the time. Users could be paying for gorhill's expenses in creating the existing software, which would imply no future obligation. And lack of payment doesn't eliminate responsibility: If you tell people you are going to do something, and they depend on you, you have some responsibility. Did gorhill promise to maintain it forever? No, but they aren't providing software for use today only; it's not like watching a TikTok video; software assumes longer-term use.
You altered the meaning of their statement by cutting off the defining portion of it so you could go off about something completely different, they're clearly talking about the blind spot formed by the A-pillar, which isn't really a matter of "caring".

And to top it off your point doesn't make sense...

> clear indication that they have side mirrors set to the road behind the car rather than cover huge blind spot on the side of the car.

a) Your mirrors are supposed to be pointed at the road behind you, not showing you the side of your car.

b) How are you able to tell what their mirrors are pointed at from the outside? Every car has different mounting points for the mirrors, the magnification and FOV can vary, the person's seating position can significantly vary, etc.
For my son and I it is a running gag that many roads you find on road atlases are not passable or not there at all in Upstate NY.

It’s rare for this to be a problem with a satnav or Google Maps because non-roads are generally weighted such that you don’t get sent down them. (Though there was that time I saw somebody get directed down a ‘minimum maintainance road’ which was closed in the winter and full of snow. If she hadn’t turned around she might have gone down a very steep hill and got out of the bottom but she got badly stuck when trying to turn around.)
I think you and the person above you are talking about the same thing.
Question (that I won't interpret as tax advice. I have no crypto positions to my knowledge): do crypto to stablecoin transactions incur taxes equivalent to liquidating securities to cash?

Because if not, that sounds like a massive tax gap that should probably be addressed.
I really enjoyed this article and appreciated the author's sober take. That said I'm a little more optimistic about Web3.

While NFTs can be confusing, over-hyped, or even fraudulent it is clear that they give artists new power. The power to create a scarce resource, prove that they created it, and sell it for substantially more than they could could otherwise sell electronic collectibles. How much of this is due to hype and how much is due to the ability to record and validate the "deed" to the NFT on the blockchain? I think that's an open question that will be more clear over time.

The author also understates the importance of DAOs and smart contracts imo. The real power of a DAOs or smart contracts is not in replacing financial instruments, but in replacing legal ones. I think in a short amount of time it will not be unusual to see wills executed via smart contracts.
> Kubernetes won the container wars and now both Swarm and even Nomad is uncommon to run into

I kind of hope we eventually come to a place where this isn't such a zero-sum thing, and we're not permanently stuck with all of kube's design choices forever, because I find kube very frustrating to work with personally.

https://www.fastly.com/pricing/ does not make a distinction it says that "Any size company looking to give Fastly a try." They make distinctions on paying for more bandwidth, not that they are giving you an inferior product performance wise.
What is the difference between "Sign-in with Ethereum" and the signature-based auth that has been available for decades without blockchains?
Well I don't have positive PCR data for Boston specifically, but the data from Massachusetts generally has peaks at basically the same times over the last year and a half, so I'd say it's a valid measure.
The fact that you take issue with people being wrong about the law speaks volumes.

The test questions tend to be fairly simple, which sign is an octagon, how far before a turn should you signal, at a four way stop what happens, basic operational rules of the road stuff that has little to do with the law.

The law questions tend to be stuff about penalties that will rarely if ever have any bearing on you if you drive reasonably.

Go check the state's practice test questions if you don't believe me.
Given that there is a light and camera at many intersections where this would occur, would it be feasible for us to have some indicator if a human is in the crosswalk? We have cars that are able to detect many different types of objects in far more complex environments.
