> For humans to evolve to be able to eat & digest plastics, we'd probably have to be in a situation where we'd die or be unable to reproduce if we didn't.

That's really not how it works. If you get dumped into a desert you don't become able to eat sand.

You first need to luck out on the ability to digest the thing, before it can become an evolutionary advantage. Because we're so big and we evolve so slowly, the thing in question would have to be a micro-organism colonising our guts. But we consume so little microplastics compared to our size and the rest of our feeding that it's unlikely to happen.

There are much better odds for large seaborne life e.g. seabirds, as not only do they ingest a good amount of plastics (macro and micro both) it accumulates and becomes deadly as they can ingest pieces large enough that they can't excrete or vomit the bits, and it fills their stomach. Likewise sea turtles for instance.

Still not great odds though.
It seems like they're doing a bit of sleight of hand. They combine the flu and pneumonia into the same bucket, and count how many times either word appears on the death certificate vs. the same for COVID-19.

COVID can cause pneumonia. Obviously it can't cause the flu. To combine them into the same bucket seems odd, in that it vastly over-counts the number of deaths it's implying are due to the flu.
A lot of effort is put into the customer experience, however often it's by the feature devs. So it's good once you grok it. But obtuse to start and not good across products.

It really needs some love from a higher level thinker who's not steeped in the solution, but in the problem. Presumably this is a PM but there's just not a lot of good ones in the org to be frank. They're almost not worth consulting.
Brave is using IPFS for file storage but once the content address (CID) is known anyone can access the file you're looking for. So it remains to be seen how they will leverage IPFS to create scarcity of digital items for their merchandise store. It is a step backward and not what IPFS goals were. A huge number of books are currently on IPFS through libgen, and scihub is going to IPFS eventually. Web3 is just a step back from the greatness that the internet could be. With "decentralized" oracles (3 mining pools control Eth), and centralized front facing websites simply verifying some hash of something.
I get your confusion. But keep in mind that it is not only about just picking the library that shows as first result of your Google search. My naive self thinks that a million dollar company should do some research and evaluate different options when choosing external codebase to build their flagship product on. There a dozens of XMPP libraries, and they picked the one that does not seem to delegate XML and Unicode handling to other libraries, which should raise a flag.
Web3 has also been used to describe web pages designed for easy parsing.

Reader view, tools for the visually impaired, and browser automation are actually useful and commonly used, so that definition win the title for me.

There are certainly useful distributed web tools (e.g. email, TOR, IRC, Matrix, self-hosting, bittorrent), but they're the opposite of recent trends towards monopoly.

The distributed meaning is absolutely poisoned by blockchain at this point.

That's a very interesting observation. It's also interesting in that when you get back to "high traffic" areas where you have to interact with others, the limits get stricter again.

I'll probably torture that analogy for a while.

They infect mice that express ACE2 on their neurons, and see obvious signs of infection.

They also infect wild-type mice, and see greatly reduced response in the same experiment, but claim that this is still non-zero. They hypothesize that NRP1 is mediating the infection.

The evidence for this claim is not definitive. It's an intriguing hypothesis. It's still not a paper about humans.
No and No, but maybe yes?

There is the SuperPac, and then there is the private takeover of public elections under the guise of get out the vote. Or charities that are not allowed to be political but are.

The fact the media is openly shoving this down our throats says all you need to know. They don't care, they are going to do whatever it takes to win.
Docker containers are pretty simple, and I've got AWS App Runner / Fargate / ECS / ECS Anywhere to work pretty well for them.

You get something working in a docker, push to your AWS repo, and App Runner grabs it and goes.

That adding offsets sounds like it could easily be compiler output. Elegant-looking jump table code is actually pretty standard for a compiler to generate.

On the other hand, carefully hand-crafted and super clever machine code written in the '80s and subsequently fucked up by successive generations of maintainers who didn't understand it is an entirely plausible scenario.
This is super dismissive of both the hard work put into the content and the people that want to listen to poetry, short stories and even entire books.

Voice acting is difficult and expensive work, and this person is putting out narrations of anything from Sun Tsu's Art of War to Hercules: The Twelve Labours, along with illustrated narrations of short stories and poems for free.

Don't you think leaving education to the free market would make it harder for kids from poor backgrounds to go up in life? When everyone uses the same system, it's in everyone's best interest to fund it and make it as good as possible. You won't get the best results, but at least everyone gets a decent education.

I think you fundamentally understand the political difference between China and the US. The US has adopted an information free-for-all and China has specifically adopted a policy of tight control of information flow. “Letting press in” doesn’t necessarily mean the truth will be revealed either, as it merely allows opponents to build their own counter propaganda. But asking them to completely abandon their political ideals of information control is not realistic either. It’s hard to know who to believe if the sources are well funded, because there are ulterior motives on both sides.
I don’t know about clojure but lisp definitely counts as an abstract algebra (and not in the same way most other languages are.) It’s also a weird derivation of set theory allowing it to be derived from first order logic.
> While a specific and exact cause is still unknown, Hyundai did employ a third-party engineering firm, Exponent, to come up with a threat mitigating solution. Ultimately, they identified a micro gas generator inside the pretensioner as the cause of explosion.

The best advice I can give you is to keep developing skills that are in demand. Keep building things. Keep networking. You will find something better even in tough times.

It will probably mean a lot regarding cognitive function and psychosis to those are risk genetically. Changes in NRP1 are linked to mood disorders like schizophrenia and depression.

I think it also shows that this is the pre-symptomatic time of the infection.

My own experiences with Covid was I had a psychotic break two days before I had a fever. I have a history of psychosis.

It’s also important to note that the Epstein-Barr virus also uses NRP1.

In my humble opinion, I feel that the destruction of NRP1 and ACE2 are responsible for many of the comorbidities we find after infection with SARS2.
The entire article talks about microbes. In the article's context, it's quite clear that bug is used in the colloquial meaning for that, as in "a stomach bug", not in the sense of insects or arthropods.
Some basic facts about the California water system seem to be missing from this article. Here's what happens if you try to capture all the water flowing out the Delta to the Pacific Ocean: salt water flows into the system.

The fundamental problem is that severe drought conditions are steadily becoming more frequent, thanks to fossil-fueled global warming. Snowpacks tend to shrink with warmer winters causing less accumulation, is one reason.
Saying AWS should be easy is like saying a Lego parts bin should be easy. Easy for what? Easy to build a robot monkey with? Even if legos are really easy to snap together, you still have to do the work of putting them together in the shape of a robot monkey.

This project seems to be a collection of pre-assembled lego parts, that can eventually be put together in the form of a robot monkey. But I think all of us actually just want the robot monkey, not several clumps of legos. We should have more feature-complete projects that we can push a button and it pops up for you. But that's very different than saying AWS should be easy.

I think we should stop obsessing over "code", and start focusing on robot monkeys. In other words, stop thinking you need more and more and more abstractions around calling AWS APIs, and focus more on publishing a complete working solution for a specific problem.

I don't give a shit about SQS queues and CloudWatch alerts and Lambdas and IAM role policies! I give a shit about a file-upload-website that automatically triggers a python program to process a file and deliver the result into an S3 bucket or Postgres database. That complete thing is the robot monkey. That's what we should be publishing; not a million lines of boilerplate that I still have to spend time and energy cobbling together into a robot monkey. I have built the same robot monkey over and over and over again in 5 different abstractions. I don't care what the abstraction is, I just want the robot monkey!

I think the reason we don't have more robot monkeys is that they're built within companies out of "code", and so we aren't allowed to open-source them, because it's "intellectual property". We need a new abstraction that is not code, and is not considered super secret proprietary information, so we can publish it as open source without thinking.

For example: what if you could point a tool at some part of your AWS account, and it exports a declarative configuration file that is a snapshot of how everything is plumbed together? The tool could strip out any "literals" and anonymize all strings, so that there is nothing proprietary in the end result except a lot of API calls to functions with random names. The end result would essentially be an unlabeled architectural diagram that you could execute. You could then publish that on the Robot Monkey Database with a description of what it does.
I really like the idea but even "How Muse boards work" board lagging on my iPad pro 10.5 and I don't enjoy the pen feel. I think default notes app or even better Concepts app (which is another infinite canvas app and doesn't lag) have a much better pen feeling.

Still subbed tho.
I've been using a similar one as well. Specifically, the RK68 Pro.

The Bluetooth is... okay. It takes a few seconds to wake up, but it doesn't turn off for about 30 minutes. Battery life has been fine with BT 5.0. I want to say somewhere in the range of a couple weeks? All with backlighting disabled.

USB wireless is a bit of a joke, honestly. I've had it lose signal even just a foot or so away with absolutely nothing (except air) between the dongle and keyboard. I have to have the dongle at about 8" or less to maintain a reliable connection.

Overall, I'd say the keyboard is fantastic for the money. I'm truly wowed by the mechanical keyboards you can get for comparatively very cheap prices these days.

That being said, I still generally trust a company like Logitech to get Bluetooth and RF USB to be less flakey. Sure, other smaller companies get it right too, but I've had to do way more experimentation and messing around in order to find that.

Though if you can do with a wired keyboard, then I wouldn't bother with the Logitech, personally.

(note that, using my editor defaults, none of this equation's lines are truncated or wrapped)

The \g... and \pdF... are trivial ad hoc macros defined in the document. Producing the same document by repeatedly copy/pasting the tensor components and partial derivatives would have been considerably more time-consuming and error-prone.

Also notable is the align environment: type \\ for a manual line break and & at each point that is to be aligned.

I just tried to reproduce this with the "WYSIWYG" equation editor in Word, and I can't figure out how to do it — right-clicking on plus and equal signs gives an "Align at this Character" option, but this appears to be a special case, as the option doesn't appear when clicking on anything else in the example.

In particular, had the first line involved (implied) multiplication instead of addition, there apparently wouldn't be any acceptable point to declare alignment!?!

I'm also not sure what it means to align "at" a character, as characters have width, and characters to be aligned aren't necessarily the same width. Does it align the left sides? The right sides? The center?

Moreover, the default key bindings in the Word equation editor are counterintuitive: the usual binding for "manual line break" instead splits the equation in two and there doesn't appear to be any default binding for the "Insert Manual Break" equation editor command at all.

Sure, LaTeX has a learning curve, but it's not at all obvious to me that Word is any better in this respect.
This is greart.
A different perspective is that rotting is the ecology's natural function for returning material back into the ecology for new life and new growth. We have suspended that process, so now the ecology is adapting to it.
I'm a bit lost as to how learning a new infrastructure-as-code tool makes AWS easier and more "fun." At best, you're still exposed to all the same complexities of the different AWS services, but now you gotta learn this new tool.

I do sympathize with the idea though, as I was recently trying to deploy a container for a small project, and didn't want to deal with all the complexities a fully featured cloud provider has. I found AWS Lightsail, GCP Cloud Run, and later settled on fly.io. It's hard for me to imagine using this tool from the beginning, or even graduating to this tool instead of upgrading to plain AWS and maybe Terraform.
Most outdoor plastic is PVC which is not susceptible to this.

> with antimicrobial properties

The Chlorine in PVC does that.

In general PVC is used where you want the plastic permanently, and HDPE is used for disposable plastic (and is edible to microbes).

So basically we are fine, and no need to change anything.

The type of organisation you are talking about, typically styled as NGOs (non-governmental organisations) are anything but.
They are in fact huge - often international - delivery vehicles for government funds, with a dispensation to raise money from the public too - hence charitable status. So it’s just as much an issue why a de facto civil servant makes a million bucks a year as does the head of a charity.

And here’s the weird philanthropic angle: as an NGO head you only get access to the government cash spigot if you can show “co-finance”, typically private, which will 3x a philanthropist’s funding and give them huge power in resource allocation.

Programming is like creating music, not playing it.

Caveat: not an expert.

Well, demand is high and supply is constrained. This has caused a spike in inflation. It’s a good question whether interest rates should be used to counter this. In order to counter this interest rates are going up, this reduces the attractiveness of the stock market causing a crash- as you’ve seen in the main indices. But on top of that inflation is high in energy and Putins war is going to spike food prices. High interest rates also encourage people to save instead of spend which will put a headwind on spending.

So we’re moving into a situation where consumers are going to be spending a lot of their income on mortgages, rent, fuel and food. Whilst the supply chain may ease supply, discretionary spending looks likely to tank.

I don't think AWS should be easy, any more than a compiler should be simple. It's a different layer of the stack. I do think most people should use Heroku/Render/etc on top of AWS, and I bet AWS agrees... because either way, AWS is making money.

AWS is a low-level tool, and that's okay.
