The Digispark[1] and its clones use the ATTINY85 and offer flashing over USB via the Micronucleus bootloader[2] using V-USB[3]. It comes at the cost of a significant chunk of flash storage, but the convenience is excellent. Plus, V-USB support means you can emulate all sorts of USB devices. I've used it to build a DIY NES controller adapter, but it's commonly used as a cheap Rubber Ducky[4]. For projects where USB interfacing makes sense, it can be a good fit.

These people don't understand public health. The point of the mandate is to make it faster for us to transition to endemic Covid. Once immunity rates are high enough, the healthcare impact of Covid becomes equivalent to the healthcare impact of seasonal flu. Without a mandate, you have to continue to deal with a pandemic until enough people get natural immunity, which is very costly, or until supply of treatments is sufficient, incurring the cost of pandemic measures on the economy the entire time. After the government exhausted its incentive policies for increasing vaccination-based immunity, the only policy left is mandate, the threat of which worked to get us to where we are today.
They can choose anywhere to build, the government controls zoning, and they're making apartments. Doesn't that get past all the big systemic cost problems?

> It’s actually harmful to use it for frying etc.

Claims like this are BS.

South italian here. People from south italy have traditionally produced and used olive oil pretty much exclusively and for pretty much everything. Frying stuff is a huge part of the tradition. No relevant problem ever found regarding that. On the contrary: the mediterranean diet is a well known healthy diet.
And he had a lot of yap about history, like Hitler's "historical necessity" and "world-historical" rhetoric.
Economics, probably -- sunflowers and canola grow more easily.

Olive oil is a nice pan-frying oil, it's what I use.

Linguistic thing:

When Americans talk about oil for frying, in my experience, they are a fair bit more likely than us to specifically mean deep frying, for which olive oil is no use. Way more of a deep-frying culture, from several different influences.

American cooks are slightly more likely (than the Brits at least) to use the term "broiling" for shallow/pan-frying. Unusual word here.

would like companies to allows proof of covid antibodies for those who have natural immunity. CDC released a chart showing that natural inoculation is slightly more effective than just the vaccine w/ no natural immunity (vaccine + natural immunity being most effective by tiny margin). [1]

Natural immunity also lasts longer than the vaccine, no booster required for at least a year, data is showing up to 2 years.

The self-attestation that companies require for in-office work should change from "I have received the Covid vaccine" to "I am inoculated against Covid".

But why should others have to pay for locating homeless people where they _want_ to go. It's giving money to them. It's an offer.

It's not like you _must_ go there, but to expect tax payers to build homes where it's far too expensive to build...

It's like sending the same people to a fancy restaurant. In what way does it make sense?

To me, government intervention caused this, so maybe they should just peel back their building restrictions?

If a person with a non-premium Youtube account enqueues a Youtube video into a Chromecast queue, that video might play with ads when the Chromecast is playing it.

I should note that I've had Youtube premium on all the accounts in my household for a few years now, so it's possible things have changed since. My guess is that it would have only changed in the direction of "more ads" though, not less.
No, it's not particularly compassionate, but when no alternative exists, it's better than criminalizing poverty, or from sweeping people out of 3rd street, into 4th street, and then, three weeks later, back to 3rd.

You'll find that most progressives don't actually like people camping in parks, they just think it's the best option out of all the shitty ones currently available.

If you want to fix homelessness, you need to provide all three of housing, psychological, and addiction services. Housing, not shelters - most people prefer sleeping in a tent to sleeping in a shelter. If you're not doing all three, you're just wasting your time and money.
Even analytical, logical people make interpretations; politics is prone to many different reasonable interpretations, and it’s often difficult to establish facts, so you see a vast variety of opinions.

Worst of those I encounter regularly is US sites trying to constrain your input to numbers only on certain fields.
Not "letting you input anything and marking it invalid if you put something other than a number", but listening to which key is pressed to allow the typing or not.
On French keyboards, typing a number requires the use of the SHIFT key. So I regularly need to change my keyboard layout just to type a couple numbers in a form field because someone thought they'd be smart...

I'll add your vote to the apple watch app request. We do have it on the longer term roadmap. But given that we are still early, we are trying to focus our energy as much as possible on the mobile experience to make sure we get that part right before we branch out.

> Ukraine had been interested in joining NATO and the EU for 10 years now

When Ukraine was flirting with the idea of a relationship with the EU in 2013-2014 the Crimean invasion happened. It was absolutely predictable even at that time and in fact many EU officials I have spoken to (including high ranking ones) agreed as much since back then. The signs of a regime which doesn't stand any proximity of a threat to their rule was obvious.

> The reason for the conflict is entirely in Putin's head

I have never been in Putin's head, nor met or talked to him. But to my pride I do forget more history every day than most people will learn in their lifetime and can't think of similar example of a superpower happily accepting adversaries at their border.

In recent history look no further than when the US ordered a naval blockade on Cuba after Cuba's request for Russian missiles to be placed on the island to defend in the event of another US invasion attempt. Putin is literally taking a page from that book.

I don't need to be in Putin's head because he's not some brilliant tactician doing something unheard of, he's just playing an old song to a new audience. If it's the first time you hear it you just have to pay more attention to what came before today.

I also only purchase California olive oil. Costco has big bottles for around $20 and it might be single origin too, I can't recall at the moment.
Besides traditional sunflower oil, which contains mostly linoleic acid (a PUFA), now there is "high oleic sunflower oil", which is extracted from a variety of sunflower initially developed in Russia some 50 years ago, but now grown in most countries.

This non-traditional sunflower oil has little PUFA and it is perfect for frying and baking.

The sunflower variety grown for high oleic oil has a genetic mutation with this effect, but it was not obtained with the modern genetic modification technologies, because obviously such technologies did not exist in the Soviet Union in the seventies of last century.

Instead of that, the Russians have treated some sunflower seeds with a chemical known to cause random genetic mutations. Then they have grown and selected several generations of plants until they have found one type with the desired characteristic of producing oil consisting mainly of oleic acid.

Later analysis has shown that this is due to a single mutation, which diminishes the activity of the enzyme that converts oleic acid into linoleic acid in traditional sunflower plants.
> Spending $837,000 to build a single studio to house a single homeless person seems insane

I don't think it was known, in advance, that this would be the resulting cost, assuming that figure is accurate. I don't think any rational person would put forward such a program and that $837,000 to build a single studio house seems insane to everyone, not just non-Californians.

I think the point OP is trying to make is that the skyrocketing cost is partly caused by a certain class of privileged Californian's continuing to fight the effort to build more housing.
The post does not mention Social Security and Medicare, which are real, not nominal liabilities (SS payments are indexed to inflation, and medical costs rise with inflation). Their existence would make it harder for the government to reduce its overall liabilities through inflation.

Personally, this pandemic strongly illuminated why the United States is on its path to a failed social fabric, the likelihood of turning the ship around (low), and personally, that a large proportion of my fellow citizens/residents are not "my people" (the collective "us" versus "me, me, me"); it solidified my plans to expatriate somewhere with stronger social fabric and support of a shared common/greater good.

I played with this on the web circa 2000.

The conclusion I came to is that the effort spent writing the various stretchtext possibilities, and it is quite considerable effort, is better spent just making your writing better in the first place.

I think that will be true regardless of the human-based implementation.

AI shrinking tech might work, but even so, it's a delicate operation. It's so easy to drop a "not", or a more complicated equivalent, that makes the summary not actually what you said, and if we're back to "human reviews the AI attempt at shrinking your text" we're back to "the effort is probably better spent improving your writing".

There's also a problem where assuming a decent reader, the cognitive load of deciding whether to stretch the text, performing the requisite UI action, re-acquiring the text you just manipulated and re-reading it, is not entirely dissimilar from the cognitive effort of just reading the full text in the first place. By the time the amount of text you're hiding is worth all that, you probably should have linked to a real page, or just used a footnote, which is basically a centuries-old tried & true mechanism for "stretch text" that everyone knows what to do with.

Relative to the benefit, it's a lot of cost on both producer and consumer.

macOS has so much of the prep work for this kind of thing, but Apple has completely dropped the ball on the UI.

Spotlight parses and indexes all the existing metadata in your files (music ID3 tags, photo EXIF tags, etc - run `mdls` on a file in a terminal to see all the stuff it's extracted) and this could all be used to make some pretty powerful UIs, but all Apple has done is made one very handy universal search UI, and then a very poorly designed specific search UI, and then made stored searches (which are also useful, but limited in practicality by how bad the UI to create them is)
The olive oil bit is a myth - see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_aFHrzSBrM

Olive oil is actually one of the chemically safest oils to heat.
In the last 50 years, cities across the country closed down over 1 million SROs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_room_occupancy) in an effort to remove slums or just neglect at increasing property value. There are now over half of a million homeless. It's honestly impressive the number is not more.

For the 1.2 billion dollars they are spending, if all of the apartments were built to the spec of a roadside motel room (~350 sq ft - or more than double the average SRO), they should realistically be able to build over 10,000 units for that kind of money (that's including California's exorbitant cost per square foot).

It would be like if the government banned motorcycles, and then said "okay, instead we'll make you a nice, compact crossover", and then handed over design and construction of the crossovers to a company that builds snowplows.

What's frustrating is that SROs used to be provided by the private market, largely free to taxpayers! How much better a use of government money it would have been to just improve the situation in SROs than to quietly let them shutter and hope the poverty they represented just disappeared with them.

How is neon extracted and why does one country have a 90% monopoly (in this specific grade)?

edit: Found this C&EN story from 2016 that adds context:

- "Chip makers, which account for more than 90% of global neon consumption, are already experiencing high prices and some shortages stemming from the Russian conflict with Ukraine, Shon-Roy says. The war, which started in 2014, interrupted global supplies of the gas, about 70% of which comes from Iceblick, a firm based in the Ukrainian city of Odessa."

- "Iceblick gathers and purifies neon from large cryogenic air separation units that supply oxygen and nitrogen to steelmakers. Most of the air separation units equipped to capture neon, which makes up only 18.2 ppm of the atmosphere by volume, are in Eastern Europe."

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/cen-09410-notw7

This is puzzling to me, because I don't get why air separation should naturally concentrate in exactly one place. It's not tied to a rare and localized geologic formation, like helium sort-of is.

Also there's cryogenic air separation plants all over the planet, why don't they do neon too? (Asking in the spirit of curiosity)

edit #2: I've just found something that offers a possible explanation and it's far more interesting than I expected:

- "Neon was regarded as a strategic resource in the former Soviet Union, because it was believed to be required for the intended production of laser weapons for missile and satellite defence purposes in the 1980s. Accordingly, all major air separation units in the Soviet Union were equipped with neon, but also krypton and xenon, enrichment facilities or, in some cases, purification plants (cf. Sections 5.4 and 5.5). The domestic Soviet supply of neon was extremely large but demand low."
