I had a 2100 (I think it was actually a 2000 with the memory upgrade) in the early 2000s. It was a fun toy, but I remember most the challenges of getting to be play like a first-class citizen with my Mac†. I found it to be a cool device in the tinker-y way that I like messing around with Linux and Raspberry Pis, but at the end of the day it required more attention than was worth it.

†Excepting the iPhone, this has been the case for virtually every device I've owned. Palms (after the discontinuation of Palm Desktop), Smartphones prior to 2007, Android phones. 3rd Party vendors make a genuine strong attempt to make everything work, but first-class support really makes using a device normal, instead of a chore.
It's never seemed to me that this whole "worse soil -> less nutrients" postulate makes sense on its face. There are, roughly, four categories of nutrients:

- organic macronutrients, which we'd definitely notice if they weren't there

- organic micronutrients, which are generally carbon compounds, but carbon doesn't come from soil, it comes from the air

- electrolytes, which do come from soil, but are always replenished with fertilizer, because plants need them too

- inorganic micronutrients, essentially transition metals plus selenium and iodine, which are present in utterly tiny quantities in food (you need about half a milligram of selenium per day), and could certainly be replaced by fertilizer if we even tried, or easily supplemented. Speculation: manure could work well.

- (extra) that wacky little devil cobalamin, which is both organic and a transition metal (cobalt), but doesn't come from plants anyway

Now, I could certainly see some kinds of farming techniques impacting the nutritional quality of plants. If you can increase the water content of your broccoli ceteris paribus, you sell more broccoli but the concentration of vitamin C goes down. I could also see impacts on the physical properties (compaction, grinding) of soil leading to worse long-term crop yields. But in order to convince me that soil changes are going to impact the vitamin C content of orange juice, when the constituents of vitamin C come entirely from water and air, you need pretty strong evidence.
I'm getting ready to knock out a landing page to see if anyone is interested in a QR code sales tool I built for myself.

Almost an anti-landing page.

It also doubles your likelihood of having at least one working generator in the presence of failures. Depending on how many of your loads are critical, it might be a better bet to have two in parallel. Best case you can run more, worst case you can run the essentials just like now. Also it might be a cheaper upgrade path. Instead of throwing away or reselling the existing smaller generator to buy a larger one, just add another of the same thing you already have to your system. Finally, you could have three smaller generators and get N+1 redundancy for cheaper than two larger generators.

> and the biggest one imo is dietary choices.

Yes, let's blame the consumer. First of all, the consumer has no idea how their specific spending habits contribute to an issue. For instance, an educated consumer (many consumers are not educated btw) might understand that eating meat causes deforestation, but they have no way of knowing if their specific purchase is contributing to that. Second, blaming the consumer makes any solution almost impossible because organizing a very large group of disinterested people is very hard. It would be much more effective to regulate the relatively small number of meat producers that are perpetuating deforestation and let the market work out decreasing consumption through increased costs.

This completely ignores the huge problem of tolerance build-up among THC consumers. The more potent the dose the more you'll ultimately end up consuming over time.

I'm hugely worried that we've yet to really study the long term cognitive effects of heavy consumption and will see a number of ties to immediate (anxiety, lung and heart inflamation) and long term (dementia, etc) affects.
That's not unlike how the US Library of Congress operated, at least conceptually. From the 1897 Librarian's Report to Congress, following completion of the present Jefferson Library building, adjacent to the Capitol:

As a part of the present system, there is a pneumatic tube, a tunnel, and eletric machinery for the transmission of books from the Library to the Capitol. It would be impossible to overestimate the importance of this ingeniuous work in the practical efficiency of Library administration. A test was made of its operations on October 27 [1897] by the Library officials. The telephone was not yet in operation, and therefore the experiment was under imperfect conditions. Without any prearrangement or forewarning, a request for boosk was conveyed through the pneumatic tube from the capitaol to the reading desk in the new library. In ten minutes and five seconds the volume asked for reached the Capitol. The second request was for four books --- one in English, the other three in Italian, German, and French, respectively. Three of them, the Italian, German, and English, came within eight minutes and eleven seconds. The French Volume, Les Châtiments, arrived two minutes later.... The test was notable as demonstrating the practical convenience of the Library in the service of Congress and the Supreme Court.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=coo.31924112523760&vi...

Note that the Supreme Court at the time met in the Capitol (in the Old Senate Chambers). The expanded library was a huge improvement over the old quarters (immediately west of the Supreme Court, in the Capitol itself), where 800,000 books were housed in a space designed for 200,000, and in which haphazard stacking and poor cataloguing greatly hindered access.

The expanded library was the life work of the previous Librarian, Ainsworth Rand Spofford, whose vision largely shapes the Library as it exists today.

Somewhat related, but I listened to recent episode of the acquired podcast where they were interviewing Brendan Eich and there were some pretty interesting moments discussing the state of Mozilla/Firefox over the years.

They even brought up XUL which I was extremely excited about at the time.

On a side note, as a dedicated Firefox user it was very disheartening to hear that as one of the crucial people involved in Mozilla over the years he decided against using a Firefox derivative for his new browser, instead choosing a chromium-based one instead.

Effectively, social security and state pension records and accounts.

"The Czech Social Security Administration registers records on the periods of citizens' pension insurance, most often they are pension insurance records from employers. As soon as the CSSA receives such a document, it registers it and, under the citizen's birth number, registers all other documents about the periods of his insurance, which are sent to it continuously, ”adds Renáta Provazníková.

WFMU is truly amazing. I've been listening to them for decades, have several friends who have done shows there and/or volunteered, and I even performed live on air there once many years ago. But what's truly amazing is their show archives and playlists, almost all the shows are recorded and streamable, going back many many years.

There are a bunch of radio stations that get this right currently, but WFMU is one of the only ones (or maybe THE only one?) that's been getting it right for soooooo long.

>Will the solar be damaged if I don't use enough?

Something will be damaged or the whole system will shut down. Typically grid-tied systems do not have the ability to dump excess power or throttle down panels to provide partial loads. You would be better off installing a proper battery-backed inverter, but depending on the wiring and design of the existing system, that might mean replacing everything except the panels, which is likely quite expensive.

Ethics rules vary state to state. And, generally, a lawyer cannot split attorneys' fees with a non-lawyer. However, I'm aware of some jurisdictions that have exceptions to this rule, and perhaps, depending on the details, that might give them an out from the general prohibition.

> Duplicate healthcare insurance is deeply toxic

Wanting better coverage - lower wait times, higher quality doctors - is deeply toxic? Getting higher quality doctors who don't want to get paid pennies by the public system is toxic? (for example Medicare pays substantially less than most private insurance in the US today to care providers, which is one of the biggest reasons why many doctors don't take Medicare patients)

I don't see how being able to have a private plan isn't a win-win for doctors and patients. Doctors get paid more by private insurance, and patients get better care. If you want to use the public system you have the option of doing that.

What happens in the long run if you force doctors to exclusively get paid public system rates? Doctors make less and less smart people want to become doctors. Why do you think the federal government can't hire top tier software talent? It's because they pay pennies on the dollar compared to private companies. You can't regulate your way out of a market. The Soviet Union found that out the hard way.

It's a really dumb date because it's so easy to just pick a date that was greater than 12 to easily make out that something is a date and not a month. As it is, 01-02 could literally be anything.

I find it MUCH easier to simply remember "dd-mm-YYYY" (which is about the only format I use almost 99% of the time) than the specific date they're looking for.

It takes about an acre of land to feed one person for the year, and that is with modern yield efficiencies.

Even if you assume a 10x increase in yield efficiency, you would still need about 200 skyscrapers growing food, for every skyscraper holding people.
Sure, and I maybe worded that poorly. They get to make that money and keep the land to either eventually sell, pass down, or rent. The point is it's rare for farmers to sell what's usually millions of dollars of land - usually that happens when inheritance comes in to play.

The power equipment is mostly stuff for fun more than for work, such as side by sides. They still get to deduct it, of course. It was just an example of how much money they make.

For what it's worth I believe the soil in southwest Minnesota is supposed to be among the best in the country, and they do corn & soybeans.
From the article:

" That’s because, while Google expected apps to use Google’s own billing system for purchasing digital goods, it rarely actually enforced the expectation."

"But Google is currently cracking down on app developers skirting around its rules. Starting June 1st, Google said it would remove apps that didn’t comply with its billing system rules. "
The paradox is supposed to be in the contradiction between this (incorrect) reasoning and the correct reasoning, not in the counterintuitive conclusion of the incorrect reasoning.

You are describing blockchain applications. “Dapps” (decentralized apps) provide frontends to data which is stored on-chain. The blockchains themselves are (ideally) run by neutral nodes that validate state transformations (transactions) and assemble them into blocks. The blockchain is a never ending series of state transitions.

Many firms and projects are trying to build a new internet based on such principles. For example Verite is a protocol for decentralized identity which has very significant backers https://www.centre.io/verite
You misunderstand housing first. There's a reason it's called housing first, not housing only. Every housing first initiative I've ever heard about has wrap-around services (physical/mental health, case management, employment, etc).

Mental health care or substance use treatment just cannot be very effective if a person doesn't have a safe, climate-controlled place to be and keep their stuff. If policy insists that the mental health or substance use must be addressed prior to housing support, then money is being wasted. More importantly, people who could have gotten better under a housing first system are being denied the chance to do so.

Homeless advocates are not the reason for the failures of housing policy. There's barely any of them and they have basically no power. It seems strange to blame them when all they do is ensure that people's rights are upheld, and clearly there are much larger forces at play.

As someone who works in human services, forced treament almost always leaves the person being subjected to it worse off; it's used to satisfy the needs/biases of providers. Once someone is isolated from their supports, that's when they are most vulnerable. Providers treat people as objects to fulfill their own incentives; abuse runs rampant.

The idea that we could fix homelessness if we just canceled the human and legal rights of people who are homeless is a terrifying take. If this ethical stance is unconvincing, please know that it would cost more and be even less effective in helping people.

You'd need about 680,000 km² of land to grow the food to feed NYC (more than the entirety of New York State).

Your third paragraph does not follow. So what if programs don’t elevate all possible gifted children?

The same number of buyers that take their ICE trucks cross country? Most truck owners don't need trucks, or need a truck very infrequently, but buy one anyways.

I'd consider a Lightning if my Honda Ridgeline wasn't only a year old. Except I'm not sure it has enough range to actually get me from DC to Canaan Valley and back without a long detour to charge on the way home. Using ABRP, it has 90 minutes of charging and another 30-45 minutes of extra driving to get to a charger. This is over what should be a 6 hour drive (3 each way), so pretty ridiculous.

Compared to a Tesla Model X (standard range), which needs 45 minutes of charging, but no extra distance because there's a Supercharger on the way (using Tesla's maps). The 45 minutes charging is still pretty silly, given an ICE can do the round trip on a single tank, but that's way better than the non-Tesla option.
The primary motivation is probably weapons, but experience with hypersonic flight should also help with reusable rocketry, which I think may be relevant since they mention that the next iteration of the vehicle is intended to be fully reusable.

How are you doing that in Ruby? The standard Ruby DateTime formatting method is DateTime#strftime() which uses approximately (mostly, fixing the locale-dependent options because the method is not locale sensitive) POSIX strftime format strings, which that is not.

Did you mean “%D %m %y”? Then that's right for Ruby/Rust. But that doesn't seem to produce the results you list for other languages (some of which also have a POSIX-ish strftime, though, e.g., it is deprecated in PHP.)
