> - Were coffee preparation methods at all considered? I don't know if everyone in the trial was being served the same coffee or if respondents prepared coffee in whatever manner they liked and just reported how much coffee/how sweet they made it.

It was not a controlled trial, it's an observational study. They had a few hundred thousand people fill in a questionaire (up to 5 times in different seasons) about their diet (sweetened/unsweetened/type of coffee consumption were only a few of the many questions). They registered the answers and compareed a few years later how many died, with statistical controlls for different observed characteristics between drinkers and non-drinkers.

Life is better if you can dust and vacuum on days when you can open the windows. I don't think people understand how much dust the vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up, not because it goes through the filter, but because it gets kicked up by the brush and never enters the fan at all. If you don't believe me, try vacuuming a particularly dirty carpet while barefoot.

Exchanging the air before the dust settles out is a lot better than having to dust a second time.

We've forgotten the unreasonable power of soap in our rush to Better Living Through Chemistry. Someone did tests and showed that a lot of 'cleaned' countertops are gross because the bacteria just get smeared around and homogenized, and counterintuitively the kitchen of a college student may be safer than the kitchen of a 40-something.

When I really clean my counters (parental visits, or realizing entropy is winning), I avoid a lot of cleaning products by first using one of those pot scrapers, then a little liquid soap, a scrub brush, and water. Once I've mopped that up the counter is probably clean, but if I use a cleaning product, this is when I do it. Just enough to swipe over everything, not to lift food particles or dried drops of tomato sauce from last night's spaghetti.

The other forgotten hero is white vinegar. They've tested removing pathogens, heavy metals and car exhaust from garden vegetables (turns out soil contamination is a surface exposure issue more than an absorption issue, even for lead) and white vinegar tested equal to or better than the best vegetable washes - which is to say that none are perfect but some are downright lousy.

Also make sure your sponges aren't gross. Using a gross sponge to clean things makes everything gross. Dipping them in white vinegar and some kettle water is a good way to clean a slightly funky sponge (and burn your fingers - patience is a virtue). Store your sponges elevated, or as I do in one case, prop it up against the wall so one edge (edge not side) is touching the wall and one touching the ground. And don't get sunk cost fallacy with your sponges. Buy in bulk, and when in doubt, throw it out. There's a kind of sponge that comes compressed, a dozen to a pack, and it expands the first time you get it wet. You can throw the spares in your junk drawer and they will get lost.

With plentiful, clean sponges, I tend to use a damp sponge when entropy is winning on the dust front (when it's so dusty you can see the dust from halfway across the room) because otherwise most of that is just going into the air and landing again. A wrung out sponge works wonders, and with a light enough touch I can even use it on books and banker's boxes without leaving any water damage. I recommend practicing on boxes, because if you squeeze the sponge, you might get a water spot. Cleaning dusty bookshelves has gone from an ordeal to just another chore because of this.

Correct, ">3.5 to 4.5" / "0.71 (CI, 0.60 to 0.84)" means "we're 95% confident that people who had 3.5 to 4.5 unsweetened coffees per day had 60-84% the risk of mortality of baseline (average 71%)".

Sorry to hear about it. You seem like a very competent person. I've coached people who explain their work situations the way you do and I know it's hard.

> Admittedly, I'm not great with people

It's good that you admit this, in fact if you're more of a just-business, get-it-done kind of person, it gets us access to some new questions. I'd start with this one:

- Is it possible you're working at a business centered around affinity culture or work-tradition culture, rather than business-economic culture?

In these environments it can be really frustrating to find that you've outworked your incoming projects pile, with no promise of future projects that you can see.

It can feel very foreign to realize that the implicit purpose of working there is either 1) building relationships and integrating with the culture or 2) syncing with the traditional pace and style of work, and looking backwards/listening to seniors' hints.

If it's the former, it may be worth spending time figuring out if you've inadvertently harmed any work relationships through lack of attention, i.e. people who matter to your success don't really care about your solo-competence, but they do care about what you're doing together with them, starting with how you're relating to them, and how that vibe is supporting sustainable work.

If it's the latter, it could be worth your time to relate to those with ideally 1Y+ on you, listening closely to what they say about the workplace, the employer, and its history.

Some other possibilities include a really speculative workplace, where new employees are gathered by the employer out of a perceived duty to the work-prospecting process: Get the people, throw them at the work (implies less attention to individuals and their status), adjust. It's more of a big-picture style. These organizations tend to procrastinate the care for what individuals are doing until they can't avoid it anymore, and then they often call in consultants to interview and analyze. Your competency could be really helpful here in the long run, but also your patience would be needed on the day-to-day.

In any case, the move here is to look at the company itself as an organism and understand what it's metabolizing well over time. The day-to-day move is more like managing your energy and ensuring that your need to feel competent is taken care of through successful & sustainable day-management practice, rather than closing tickets / chasing productivity unicorns based on someone else's work efficiency.

Good luck, I hope that helps a bit, this kind of situation can feel pretty frustrating.

Gmail does not ever "bounce" mail for spam reasons. It either temp-fails the SMTP conversation with a 4xx error code, or it delivers it, to the Inbox or to Spam as indicated.

Yes, and sender reputation is part of it :D that's why they can handle it.

> Also, Hashcash[1], which is a virtual silver bullet for email spam, especially when combined with existing trust mechanisms

Who do you think has to and can spend more compute or money, well-trusted Google or a small player? Far from a silver bullet.

> i.e. the less reputation you have, the harder the Hashcash challenge

Who do you think will have better reputation? I won't even start at how different people define spam. Though, I can promise you that on average SpamChimp would get to send a lot of spam for much less "HashCash" than a small player.

Without a dropping a resume...I do back-end in Java/Clojure, React based front end. Domains include automated file transfer and telephony. I can learn whatever if it doesn't require a PHD.

Honestly, my passion/interest/strong suit is tackling problems that matter, and if that involves using a broad swathe of my skillset, all the better. Clojure is probably my favorite language, but I don't fetishize any particular technology. For what it's worth, I don't mind/actually like working on crunchy old legacy code. Often a lot of the business value is tied up in that, and someone has to know how to get in there and make it work.

outlook.com is even worse. If you bring up a mail server, you have to apply to them for permission to send them email.

They don't care - you must apply through a process that ironically sends email that isn't DKIM certified in their response.

> switch off Diablo Nuclear Power plant and replace it with gas plants.

This is not true, it will be replaced with zero carbon generation, including geothermal. For intermittent zero carbon generation, there needs to be matched storage, which will consist both of "regular" lithium storage, and some newer less tested tech for longer duration storage.

This is mandated specifically by law, so if it doesn't happen then somebody is violating the law. It was senate bill 1090, passed in 2018:

https://www.powermag.com/press-releases/california-gov-brown...

And two years before the law mandating it, the zero carbon replacement was part of the original closure announcement:

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/pge-to-replace-...

However, I see this false claim repeated again and again, and some weird nuclear lobbying group has performed SEO to have their misinformation be high up on the search results:

https://www.ans.org/news/article-3835/four-clues-that-diablo...

I spend most of my hobby time researching energy, and find that nuclear proponents are often the lowest information contributors on forums, repeating dates talking points, and in the rare cases that they have data, it's far out of date. I really wonder where these whisper campaigns come from, because its really clear when a new bit of talking points has been released through the propaganda networks.
I don't totally agree with you on this. Telemetry on open source extension is public and opt-out, but it is neither on the MS VSCode builds or proprietary extensions.

It doesn't necessarily help to be legally informed or not unless you change the role of the jury completely. The law is already set and interpreted by other parties, the only question is about if the jury feels an open ended threshold of doubt has been reached. One could argue to have a class of people that try to rigorously decide what is reasonable doubt based on additions to law that try to quantify doubt but one could just as easily argue finding what society finds to be reasonable doubt is something better answered by normal people instead of a special class and trying to codify what doubt is for every situation in every law unreasonable to do accurately and keep up to date.

I don't think one is inherently right or wrong, it's more a match to ideals. The important thing to note with the current jury system in the US is it's actually preferred they aren't specially informed in law (beyond their given role on the jury) as anything related to legal interpretation is supposed to be done by the rest of the court anyways.

What makes UB in C++ is spelled out in its International Standard; there is no specification for Rust, just an implementation. It has been many years since C++ preprocessors differed notably from one implementation to the next. Nothing in C++ is global except what you choose to make global.

In fact today C++ lifetimes are expressed in the type system, and this is an example of what C++ enables a library to provide.

If, working as a library designer, Rust was not a big step down, you were neglecting to provide users of your libraries much of the value you could have offered. Your remarks suggest that libraries you delivered were closer to C than C++.

They hurt more than competitors. If anyone from gmail is reading and gives a crap about the collateral damage from policies like these, they have set me back at least a few months in my attempts to adopt a child. The agency my wife and I had been getting licensed through dropped us, citing lack of responsiveness in completing paperwork. But I've been e-mailing them for months with questions clarifying how to fill out unclear forms and they've been ignoring me. I presented them with a history of all the sent e-mails they never answered, and even gave my e-mail address in person last time I was there, asking them to add me to an allow-list, but it didn't make any difference.

It's particularly disappointing because even just getting the process started was delayed when no one answered our initial inquiries of interest for nearly a month. That was when I first figured out it was because my e-mails were getting routed to the agencies' spam folders. At this point, I'm probably just going to have to give in and get a gmail address for the sole purpose of completing an adoption, and then stop using it and go back to my real address.

Who'd have thought this would be the thing preventing me from completely de-googling?

A company is not formed for the benefit of the employees and private industry shouldn't be run like a welfare system. What you see as disposable units I see as free agents, adding more regulation and removing the freedom of choice of both the employer and the employee is ruinous to both. We should be striving to make it easy to fire as well as easy to hire, if you tie up one side or the other or both then you end up with unproductive workers or stagnant businesses or both.
