Depending on what you want to do you can get away with a RPi and RTL-SDR which are pretty widely available.

Most wireless weather stations use ISM bands, I used RTL_433[1] to pull the raw data and quite a few popular stations already have the format documented.

Combine with InfluxDB+Grafana+simple polling script/program and you can do a bunch of fun stuff with it. Have the whole thing wrapped with docker compose and just runs in the backgound.

I reached out to the author and they're using an uHoo Smart Air Monitor and will be writing a review of it in the future. Most reviews of air quality monitors seem to focus on details like the size of the screen, or whether the monitor app is easy to use, and fail to actually test the accuracy of monitor itself. Hopefully this author's review is different.

When people called Monty Python’s Life of Brian blasphemous, Terry Jones said:

“I took the view it wasn't blasphemous. It was heretical because it criticised the structure of the church and the way it interpreted the Gospels. At the time religion seemed to be on the back burner and it felt like kicking a dead donkey. It has come back with a vengeance and we'd think twice about making it now."
Yes, I apologize for the ambiguity: he wrote it when he was 50, but it describes his life as a young adult.
It pays for engineers to be able to inflate and justify their worth, especially when moving ships.

It is not about everyone getting equal pay. It is about everyone having equal visibility. The former creates unmotivated employees, the latter creates one of two outcomes:
1. Satisfaction of relative comp for the amount of work done -or-
2. Understanding of what is valuable in this venture; how to spend your time

Often times in larger establishments (after playing enough politics to gain visibility), I found myself in camp (2). What you think is important is seldom actually important to the powers that be. If you find yourself disagreeing with the last statement, go hug your management team / coworkers!
Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing, Drew!
Likewise, when it came time to upgrade my camera drawer, I decided spending a bit more on the iPhone Pro made more sense then a new body or lens. Glad I did, as it’s always in my pocket.

It depends on the currency, some have transaction fee mechanisms that pay existing holders, meaning there’s at least some amount of revenue (holders are selling transaction slots to transactors). Holding the currency is essentially a bet that revenue will increase

So I know there's no real way around this, but the email address verification is kind of a killer isn't it? Can't an Outlook admin just filter for all the inboxes that received an email from hfsalary.org and immediately report which employees signed up for this? I mean, I know on paper they're not allowed to retaliate against this, but wouldn't this impact how management feels about you getting more responsibility and raises etc.?
While I am sure those people do exist, just like extreme claims of all manner and stripe exist, to dismiss everyone labeled as a covid conspiracist as believing that is factually incorrect

Things like Lab Leak, masking, hell at one time people claiming that the covid vaccine would need boosters were labeled "conspiracist" spreading mis information

Pretty much anyone that says anything 1day to 6 weeks before that thing is uttered by Dr Fauci is labeled as "conspiracist" until such time as Dr Fauci has blessed the position as "Science" because he after all he "is the Science"
Absolutely not. The reason bank interest is lower is because the FDIC ensures that you get your money if the bank stops existing. If the company backing your stablecoin stops existing, what are you left with? Nothing, of course

I don't understand.

Why all these software tools for publishing and managing the data. Why not just put the data in a csv file from a python script, then use gnuplot to plot it when requested from a web server running on the pi.

Analog has all the tactile aspects I miss from DSLR and more, I definitely take more analog than I used to.

And the answer is no, because anything which can be done to improve the trusted third-parties can be done more efficiently without the extra overhead of a blockchain. Blockchains require expensive always-on networks whereas many operations can run with much lower data requirements and even work entirely offline.

It's completely different to "we" being used by an individual to refer to themselves in English.

The fact that a language construct might exist in other languages is irrelevant. Calling a girl "it" in English would similarly be bizarre, although that is the grammar in German.

> Do you think I should risk my life to enforce your property rights?

I have no expectations of you personally if you wanted to protect my property rights (if i had claims on such and had a tx posted for someone to secure such), but I cannot control if an address controlled by a multisig of psuedoanons sends a tx to a contract where they provide proof that something has been secured according the rules of decentralized AMM market settlement contract and they get their payout. I cannot also control whether people make leveraged side bets on that happening or not, and I cannot control if those making leveraged side bets try to collude with the multisig that submitted the a tx for settlement.

> I live in metropolitan area with a population of 25 million people; a distributed group of vigilantes enforcing property rights is not even remotely workable here, and this is not even the largest city in the world. My in-laws live in a suburban area with a lower population density -- their town has a population around 20 thousand, and that disorganized group is not going to work there either.

I'm pretty sure that if they pay is high enough for the people that controls the multisig, and they have the skills and resources to execute, they can get where they need to be, and be gone when its finished, while accepting some risk that who they are up against may be prepared for it.

Yes it seems to mean "unconventional" rather than against some established orthodoxy such as Catholicism.

I got into bitcoin when i could receive payment from a client that normally was declined to process by banks in our respective countries, and options like Paypal were too expensive.

In the result buying buying bitcoin for a client for his currency, sending it to me and selling for my currency was cheaper than simply converting USD to my local currency. That's where I understood that bitcoin is a great thing and is here to stay. It is enough to shut your argument. I wasn't poor, but absurd restrictions by banks stood in my way just the same. Bitcoin liberates money.

To me, that reads like a response to an all-or-nothing strawperson. Nobody says you should sacrifice 100% to safety and nobody 100% disregards it (if the wood stove had a 25% chance of maiming your children, of course you wouldn't use it). Everyone makes that trade-off.

If we can save and significantly improve lots of lives by improving appliances, that seems like a good outcome. I personally don't want resperitory problems - for myself, my family, or my neighbors - it makes it hard to enjoy all those other risky things I love.

> I cringe whenever a business sends me a notification saying, "Your safety is our #1 priority!" and proceeds to explain why I won't be allowed to do yet another thing I am accustomed to do.

I don't recall ever receiving a notice from a business telling me that I am not allowed to do something (other than for IP). Who is sending these notices? Can you provide an example?

Clear Communication
Physically isolated people ruminate.

This is also selection bias. Yesterday there was immense thread about quitting jobs- the majority of people were leaving for other jobs, not to retire.
If we look at this from a game theory perspective it actually works in their favor. People want to make lots of money, if they lie they're going to lie about being paid more and not less. If enough people lie to affect the overall statistics, then everyone is going to be pissed off at their management for not getting paid as much as everyone else. At this point management has two options: reveal the actual salaries of everyone, to prove that actually everyone is getting paid less than what the stats show (oof), or keep the salaries hidden and deal with a workforce in which every participant believes they are chronically underpaid. Neither of these options are good for management, and the only way out is to hand out generous raises.
> I'd rather live the way I want to live, and I'm not really bothered if my happiness cuts ten years off my life; I'd prefer seventy years of living to eighty years of not dying.

This is a mis-framing of the relevant tradeoffs. Your options aren't a truncated life of joy vs. a longer life of asceticism. The tradeoff might instead be that one of your kids gets asthma and suffers with the condition for their entire life. Or maybe you get cancer and, yes, you die earlier, but it's not an instant death. Maybe you live with that cancer for a decade of treatment and remission and treatment again and ultimately an intense suffering like you've never experienced.

So instead of dying in your sleep at 80, you die of lung cancer at 70, which you were diagnosed with at 60, after a decade of struggling with the emphysema you discovered when you were 50.

You're not just rolling the dice on a shorter life weighed against a happier one; you're rolling for an increased likelihood of a much worse life (that's also shorter).

You're right that safety isn't always #1. But I hope you're thinking about the actual tradeoffs involved and not some kind of idealized version of them.
That sounds a lot like a macro. Is the main difference that macros evaluate at compile time and fexprs evaluate at EVAL time? I imagine a facility like EVAL-WHEN[1] can blur the distinction.

Unfortunately, people here are misunderstanding this story.

This is not about the official contact-tracing app by the government (the CWA), which by its very nature is decentralised and doesn't allow for that.

This is about the Luca app, a privately developed contact tracing app that is used by some German states and that uses centralised tracking.

This app has absolutely been the focus of criticism inside of Germany, notably including most security experts and the CCC (Germany's largest hackers' association). These criticisms are not dismissed as conspiracy theories by anyone. As a result, some states are also considering pulling out of the deals with Luca.

What is happening here is a discussion about privacy vs. surveillance which is very much in the open, and has very little to do with the official Coronavirus policy of the federal government.
You mean the grip? Nikon rubber grips are notorious for falling apart. Which is part of why I sold all my digital Nikon gear when they were tone deaf and peddalled dSLRs and the dumbed down 1 system. Went with the m43. It's not an open standard but it's considerably more open than others.
My favorite way to show people how my induction stove works is to put some cold water in a kettle, pop it on a "burner", then turn it to "power boost". You can instantly see tiny bubbles forming on the bottom, and 20 seconds later it's at a rolling boil so intense you fear it may explode. I have no idea how anyone can say induction is slower than gas. And on the other end, low will slowly melt chocolate or heat a hollandaise without needing to steam a mixing bowl.
Essential vs accidental complexity.

Most content on the web is static text, audio, and video, and shouldn't need a Rube Goldberg virtual machine to consume. I've been advocating splitting the web into the "document web" (ie the web as it was originally conceived) and the "app web" (which is cool and useful but a different thing) for a while now. There should be two different programs for consuming them.

And to your point, if simple web browsers became useful again, maybe simple operating systems would be viable once more, further reducing the dependencies involved.
The M2 Bradley is primarily an infantry transport vehicle! Its main role is an operational one, presenting it as a “30mm(sic) platform” is just completely missing the point.

Right now Ethereum has 9 million ETH deposited on its proof-of-stake network, worth about $30 billion.

That's running in parallel to the main network, which is still mining. Code to merge the two and eliminate mining is currently running on a public test network. Previous upgrades have all taken less than a year to go live after the launch of their public test networks.
Considering that there has been a fair amount of collusion to suppress engineer salaries, are you surprised that engineers feel unmotivated? People work harder to hold onto something they value.
> From physics point of view the way you raise temperature of pan has 0 effect on what's happening in the pan.

in a spherical cow sense, yeah, heat is heat. but the distribution of that heat is going to depend a lot on the implementation, and can make a big difference for searing meats or making delicate sauces.

radiant glasstops are really good at even heating, but only if the bottom of your pan is exactly the same size as the burner. the edge of the bottom ends up a little cooler, because energy is radiated out from the unheated sides, but not dramatically so.

I've found gas ranges to be pretty terrible for even heating. you get a hot ring where the most intense part of each flame touches the bottom, but a significantly cooler center. only the most expensive gas ranges come close to the evenness of a pedestrian glasstop. main benefit of these is you can effectively change the size of the burner, so nice if you have a lot of odd-sized pans.

I haven't had a chance to try an induction range myself, but I've read a lot of ymmv type posts on the internet. the gist seems to be that the tech itself is very good, but the outcome depends on the (electical) conductivity of the pan itself. which makes sense to me, at least in a handwavy sort of way. I wouldn't expect every pan to heat itself perfectly evenly in response to a uniform magnetic field.
For the record, here is the correct math for attenuation of high energy photons with a nice explanation from NIST:
https://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/XrayMassCoef/chap2.html

The coefficient in the exponential is 0.0161/mm for these data, so a 100 mm thick layer will stop 80% of their measured spectrum. A 200 mm thick layer will stop 96%.

The same relationship applies for higher energy gammas as well, but the coefficents will be energy dependent.
I think it is definitely possible to make positive changes that stick. For example, I have been rowing on my erg daily for 6 months. It doesn’t have to happen around New Years. A lot of the difficulties we run into making positive change for ourselves is the workweek. We give so much to our employers we can’t care properly for ourselves.
I'm sorry, but I think for this article that seemed relevant since the real article title starts with "tired of the modern web", then discuss the merits of the "old" web. I thought the article media was itself a good illustration of what was wrong with the "new" web.
> Of course they are, this is pretty much what marginalization means

Then we can't agree on that premise. I don't think they are even remotely marginalized to the same extent. If they were, they would suffer the same consequences. To be clear, I'm not saying that anti-Asian racism doesn't exist; obviously it does, it's just not on the level that anti-Black racism is on.

> My point is precisely that real-world marginalization can be an outcome of identity politics

Sure, it can, Ethiopia is repeatedly a great example of that. Asians in America aren't. None of those that Fukuyama listed are either.
So... in order to do unit testing, you should shift your entire system to be written in functional style, and then write integration tests instead of unit tests? Because that's what you get when you use the real components.

> I dunno, traditional payment processors have gotten away with 1-2% charges in order to mitigate that kind of problem

They do? In my experience it's much higher, particularly if you're dealing with low value transactions. When I worked in retail 15 years ago our payment handler charged a 1% fee on cash drops, and charged 0.30 plus 2% capped at some number I can't remember off the top of my head, _plus_ the card issuer fee. On a $100 transaction sure that's close to 2%, but on a $2 IAP or a $10 subscription (like Netflix) that's 17% and 5% respectively. I'm also pretty sure on top of that we had to pay a dispute fee if one was lodged with the issuer; presumably in the region of $10-15 per dispute. the risk of those disputed being opened on an online purchase vs an in person purchase is significantly higher.

> You have no opportunity to compete with Apple in this space, and that's what pisses off a lot of people

That's what a lot of people say, but how much of that is _really_ they just don't want to pay a 30% cut?

Labour is not the same thing as work.
Regardless of the tool you pick for actually managing the data, first you’ll need to go through some data classification to determine what your dimensions are and how to reconcile them.

For example, if you have multiple data sets for Contacts, what dimensions should be used to say that a record from system A is the same as a record from system B? Is it email address, full name, some other identifier? From there you have to then decide which source system is more “correct” and how to determine that.

You’ll also need to figure out if reconciliation should be automatic, manual, or both. Does a “master” record get flagged when it’s out of sync for user review, does someone have to intervene to say which values are correct and merge those records, or are you relying on some keys and algorithms to make a best attempt? In some cases it’s helpful to have a set of “staging” tables for dealing with the source data and a “pre-merge” table for resolving conflicts before overwriting the master record.

This is why many MDM platforms can charge as much as they do. They’ve already figured out decent ways to manage this for some known platforms (Salesforce, ERP systems, etc).
