That's a sourdough bread, right? Now, there's a rabbit hole to dive into. It uses a different type of levain / yeast culture compared to bread based on dried yeast.

Long story short, sourdough was / is how bread was made throughout history. Fermentation takes a very long time due to the nature of the levain. At some point, bakers noticed how the leftovers from brewers yeasts drastically shorten fermentation. That and industrialization led to modern day bread you find in the supermarket.

Jon from Proof Bread on YT does a much better job at explaining. [1]

Another great watch is Michael Pollan's "Cooked" series. In the 3rd episode, he explores bread, it's history and makes the case about modern industrialization affecting the quality and the nutritional value of modern bread. [2]

Seems to depend on your particular less, see the last sentence of this paragraph from `man less` on my machine:

&pattern
Display only lines which match the pattern; lines which do not
match the pattern are not displayed. If pattern is empty (if
you type & immediately followed by ENTER), any filtering is
turned off, and all lines are displayed. While filtering is in
effect, an ampersand is displayed at the beginning of the
prompt, as a reminder that some lines in the file may be
hidden. Multiple & commands may be entered, in which case only
lines which match all of the patterns will be displayed.

Indeed, I thought it would behave like you describe.. when I was refreshing my memory of how the negative pattern filtering worked, I first did &/pattern and then &/^Npattern, and was surprised to see that it displayed zero matching lines.

this is my version of less:

% less --version
less 581.2 (POSIX regular expressions)

You can count it up yourself without the exclusions, voting on wikimedia is just editing the talk page to include your comment with the word Oppose/Support and a signature.

The raw counts are:

Strongly support: 35 (+1 with no icon, not sure if this got counted)

Support: 192 (+1 with no icon)

Weakly support: 4

Weakly oppose: 5

Oppose: 86

Strongly oppose: 20

So the "raw" figures are 233 to 111 or 68%, still a clear majority and not that different from the 72% "anti-astroturfing" figure.

I'd also point out that voting on wikipedia is also non-binding.

I build tools for blockchain games and from my experience there is heavy polarization in the communities of most of these games (on the sustainable - exploitative spectrum). You have three types of people involved in these communities:

1. People who genuinely care about the games, about building narratives together, playing together, etc. This is a growing minority.

2. People who have come from the Play-to-Earn world who care about extracting as much monetary value as possible from the game economies by playing the game. These are the people who put the rules under as much scrutiny as possible.

3. People who have come from the crypto finance world who are looking for "alpha" from the game economies. They typically try and attain their gains by performing arbitrage on the game's ERC20 token(s).

For most blockchain game communities, early on, the communities are mostly populated by people of types (2) and (3). Type (1) groups in the community build organically over time, whereas type (2) and (3) members of the community come and go. This flow of (2)s and (3)s is actually important in building the core group of (1)s.

It feels like the kind of marketing you are talking about is necessary in order to build sustainable game communities for blockchain games. But good projects do have a growing number of members of type (1) who do derive essential (as opposed to economic) value from the underlying games themselves.

In general, though, the tools that blockchain projects use to organize and build up their communities will probably become useful beyond the scams (in the form of DAO tooling). It will take time for this to play out.

Disclaimer : These are not the kind of tools I build. Wasn't trying to shill myself there. My company will move in this direction eventually, but that is not what we do at the moment. This is just my sincere belief.

That's probably true but as a casual hobbyist, it's so much easier to justify spending $1k on a phone and a few hundred on apps than getting buying a legit macro camera setup, especially used camera equipment.

I was frustrated by the macro limitations of the iPhone 13 pro and started perusing for macro camera setups and totally balked at the prices. It made more sense to hold out for another major camera spec bump in the next generation of phones (which is rumored).

John le Carré famously disliked Bond and called him an "international gangster" and invented George Smiley to better represent of real-world espionage (bear in mind that both authors worked for British intelligence, though le Carré worked for both MI5 and MI6). The original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy miniseries is a slow burn, but it's very well made and picks up once you figure out what the hell is going on. It also makes the more recent movie a lot more approachable.

> “At the root of Bond there was something neo-fascistic and totally materialist,” Le Carre said.

> “You felt he would have gone through the same antics for any country really, if the girls had been so pretty and the Martinis so dry.”
You could of course start with the first paragraph:

"Bij het inschatten van frauderisico’s beoordeelde de Belastingdienst zeker tientallen mensen op hun nationaliteit en uiterlijk, zo blijkt uit onderzoek van PwC. Zo kwamen de mensen terecht op de Fraude Signaleringsvoorziening (FSV), beter bekend als de zwarte lijst."

> As tax considerations with crypto are just getting off the ground

This is very not true. Buying and selling anything has very clear tax implications. It's more that enforcement is slow, and people are willingly breaking the law because of it. Here's a good Twitter conversation explaining the situation:

https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1501707876888240131

> I think the issue is mostly that the industry’s core request is “Can we have an outright exemption from securities regulation?”, the regulators say “Absolutely not you must follow the law.”, industry follows with “How high is this on your enforcement priority list?”, “Not very.”

> And so industry complains “My my this all seems so ambiguous and look at all these similar projects which never get enforcement actions. I wish we had Regulatory Clarity (TM).”

The macro capability is a really fun addition to the iPhone. It can be hard to get a good shot though, quite often focus is off – the best way I've found is to use the Halide app, then you can enable macro mode and "focus peaking", which will highlight the in-focus area with a colour. This means that a) you are definitely in macro mode all the time, and b) the focus is fixed and you adjust what is in focus by moving the phone around until the right bit is highlighted. I have also had good results with the default camera though, but it's harder to control.

If you look at the photos close up they don't look amazingly sharp, and the "blur" around the edges looks a bit odd (not sure if this is just a macro lens thing or something iPhone specific), but regardless, it's a pretty awesome capability to have in your pocket at all times!

We have delivered batches of 7 loaves from a local bakery every 2-3 weeks, and of course freeze them. The trick is to, as soon as I can after receiving them, put the loaves with their original bag inside also a large freezer bag, so they are double-bagged, and right into the freezer. When taking it out, toast it as needed, either so lightly that it just thaws, or as toasty as you like if you want toast.

While nothing is like a chunk or slice of bread still warm from the oven, this is more than good enough and often not distinguishable from the bread as received. One note is that this is pretty high-density bread, so it might not work as well with 'fluffier' breads. In any case, the double bagging does work for me to eliminate that ucky freezer burn taste, or at least put it off so that it takes 2+months in the freezer for it to appear.

I've also found for cakes and pastries that wrapping in cling wrap, then aluminum foil tightly sealed by rolling the edges together, then a freezer bag works well for many months.
> Why do people need to receive hundreds of thousands of Euros for children daycare?

It's not about "daycare", it is about assisting families in the (massive) expenses that raising a child incurs. Why? Because unlike the American pension system which is mostly backed by the stock market, European pension systems depend on young and healthy workers to pay the pensions of the current pensioner generation.

Obviously this has the advantage that stock market crashes won't wipe out a whole generation's pensions and that the stock markets are not inflated artificially by enormous amounts of "dumb money" being loaded into anything that promises a profit (which is partially what caused the 2008ff crisis), but it has the disadvantage that society has to really take care of not falling into demographic traps.
What matters isn't the absolute or relative number compared to total assets, but rather their yearly cashflow.

Having a buffer of a few months worth of their monthly operational budget in the currency that most of their spending will be in just seems like common sense and is also very different from the concept of an endowment (where return on an investment is supposed to pay for ongoing expenses).
A spy's main job is intelligence gathering, not blowing stuff up and killing people. Read a memoir of a retired CIA officer and you will quickly understand that Bond doesn't resemble a spy in the slightest. Don't get me wrong, I still find the movies entertaining. I consider them action movies, not spy movies.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy I think is a better depiction.

> I perpetually dream of systems like this where a process might be undertaken in locations that require HVAC systems that can make use of the waste heat.

Cities are the solution there. Waste-heat from power-plants is ~200F (just under boiling), because the water needs to be steam to efficiently move a turbine. The 200F waste-water is no longer useful at turning the generators, but its still useful to pump around the city and warm up homes.

----------

IBM was playing around with waste-heat systems to increase the efficiency of solar panels. Solar Panels lose efficiency above 140F, which is pretty common because the sun heats up the solar panels. By running water through the panels and dropping the temperature down a bit, you end up with say, 130F water and 130F panels (increasing panel efficiency, but now you gotta deal with 130F water).

The 130F water is waste heat, but unlike New York City steamworks, its in a hot location that won't be able to use the waste-heat in a useful manner. Unfortunately, I don't think this is high enough temperature to be used for this chemical-iron process...

---------

That being said: Iron Fuel itself is something I haven't considered personally. But the chemical process sounds quite similar to Hydrogen Fuel / Syngas. Iron being a solid sounds like its easier to move around and store, but Hydrogen has pumping benefits (ex: hydrogen pipelines).

Chemical energy storage methodologies seem useful. There's all sorts of low-grade waste heat (130F to 200F), that's really difficult to figure out how to use. Anything, even if its like 30% or 40% efficient, will be better than the 0% efficient "Waste" that we do right now.

> A system more similar to what we have in New England would be the opposite of what you describe: a truck drops off a load of fresh (elemental) iron, and it's oxidized over the winter to heat the house. Then, in the spring, someone comes back and removes all the rust for recycling. This plan would allow iron to replace a lot of propane and heating oil if the energy densities work out.

I have severe doubts that iron has as much energy density as methane or propane.

I also doubt that Iron is as easy to carry around as methane pipelines.

Usually there is more nuance than that. It sounds high and mighty to take the principled position, but reality is that major offenders of this type of fraud are often ethnic gangs, and ignoring that signal is dumb.

Many companies do things like black hole traffic from Russia, Nigeria, China, etc, or make interactions higher friction (require MFA always, etc). Those tactics work and minimally impact real customers.

This is worth worrying about, however landfill is one of the most plentiful non-renewable resources we have. These blades are completely non-toxic and can be buried safely so it is one of the least worrying problems about wind. The most damage that wind causes is destruction of ecosystems and excessive land use. Even that is pretty minor compared to other power generation methods. Wind is pretty awesome.

Again, even if these cases were all impartially investigated, you're still explicitly targeting low-income people and dual-nationals, probably significantly more likely to be an ethnic minority. I think the algorithm is a worthwhile story, not just the trigger-happy authorities.
