Well, there's evidence of transmission from mammals to people — "Sequencing has subsequently shown that mink-to-human transmission also occurred."

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abe5901

There's evidence of novel coronaviruses occurring in mammals and then infecting people — "In May [2021], researchers reported that two coronaviruses in dogs recombined in Malaysia. The result was a hybrid that infected eight children."

There's evidence of "vendors selling live mammals, including raccoon dogs, hog badgers, and red foxes, immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic" at a Wuhan market.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715

There's "Multiple positive samples … from one stall known to have sold live mammals, and the water drain proximal to this stall, as well as other sewerages and a nearby wildlife stall on the southwest side of the market, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2."

Please be more specific.
It would cost more or less infinite money to do this because of mythical man month issues.
I just googled "bullet journal" and had to scroll through four screens of nonsense to get to a search result, the Wikipedia article on it.
> Public transit was made into a small fraction of traffic.

I think "was made" is the key term, since that is what defines the current state of reality, which is where our solutions must exist. Any feasible solution will not requiring destroying the last 100 years of development, in the US. Improvements are still a good thing, especially if they can be implemented as a glorified, cooperative, cruise control.

I'm all for rail, since more trams could mean my 20 minute drive wouldn't have to be 3 hours by track + bus + 3 mile walk, but putting enough metal on the ground isn't trivial [1].

Interesting. Shearwater is the dominant player in both dive computers and freediving watches. They don't meet your needs?
To be clear, I would pay even $350 for them, if only I could remove the $5 battery and replace it cleanly. Or even bring it to an Apple Store and get a new battery for $30. It just feels such a robbery otherwise.
Why? Even once you figure out ignition, you still have a bunch of engineering issues to tackle. Energy extraction, tritium breeding, reactor longevity, reducing the build time and cost. Hopefully most of that can be figured out in parallel while we inch closer to ignition, but it's not like once we get ignition we can just copy-paste our way to actual commercial fusion power production.
lazy seqs are not RT so ~zero
99% but petrodollar will still be in power. Access to fusion power will be strictly controlled.
To be clear, I would pay even $350 for them, if only I could remove the $5 battery and replace it cleanly. Or even bring it to an Apple Store and get a new battery for $30, in a similar iPhone workflow. It just feels such a robbery otherwise.
It's giving you the metric right there. Energy consumed per gram of weight moved per kilometre traveled. Not percentage of energy used for locomotion versus lost as heat (note that maintaining internal homeostasis in a human is not exactly "losing" energy to heat, but certainly some excess is generated when you're exercising as opposed to just sitting around).

You're definitely still right about creatures that can simply catch sea and air currents, though.
Find me a dentist who recommends flossing but who isn't one of those parrots that advise brushing or regular teeth cleanings.
I don't disagree with you that it's potentially abusable. I'm only saying that lots of people genuinely want their suffering to end and the world is failing to give them a better answer than death.

You weren't asking "How do we sort out who genuinely wants out of their suffering and who is conveniently being offed by overburdened family?" That's not the question I was replying to.
Which, as far as I can tell, is exactly what the removal was designed to do—nothing about MV3 impacts cosmetic filtering in any way, and it seems to have been removed by the developer purely out of a sense of stubborn pique.
Notably, I think writing with copilot encourages you to write comments that provide necessary context.

Naturally, this makes it easier for other programmers to understand the code.
We actually do have these things in some places, although things like the gas tax and the sales tax are levied on stores, not individual consumers - they just pass the cost on to consumers. There is a tax analogous to a sales tax in most US states called a "consumption tax" or something similar, where you are asked to pay sales tax on stuff you bought outside of the state (and list the stuff). I have personally filled out real estate tax forms and car-related tax forms.
Hotspot isn't blocked. I'm using it right now. The reason it probably doesn't offer phone services is due to KYC stuff. Most governments love ID cards, address proofs and what not before they let you make phone calls. The data only esim bypasses all that. In fact, even the data is not locally terminated although you are using the local network. It terminates in their network (hosted by OVH in the EU at the moment). So it also effectively acts as a vpn. This is also great because most governments around the world have arbitrary censorship. Overall, I would say that it's a good product although the prices can be lower.

It does seem like the cost vs. reward of fusion tech is ridiculous at this point.

I'm all for new tech but we should at least try to project the cost to build a working fusion power plant. Fusion not only has to work, it has to be at least somewhat cost-competitive with other forms of energy generation.
US models support 5G mmWave, non-US models do not. So, the US models already have slightly higher cost.

The SIM tray adds manufacturing cost and complexity. It's also a structural weak point and makes waterproofing harder - which adds to warranty/applecare+ costs.

Therefore it's an easy cost-cutting move to get rid of the SIM tray on US models to bring the costs back in line.

I will say this: they should have kept the tray on the Pro Max models, which is what international travelers use.
What are we talking about? Long trips? Short trips? What's the use case?

For short stuff, bakfiets. For the second part, sure, why not? Get a baby buggy for multiple kids.

Walking is also good for you.

Also, is all of this happening as a single parent? How many single parents with 3 kids are even out there? 0.00001% of the population?

All these problems are solvable. With probably less than half the money spent on car infrastructure and 5% the pollution.
Reminded me of kind of an interesting sub-niche. The US military has lots of people overseas, and they pay to move a fairly big amount of people's stuff if the service member and their family are moving there.

So, there was this cottage industry of huge transformers so that these folks could run their US 110v/60Hz appliances on (mostly) 220V/50Hz mains. Things like microwave ovens, blenders, toasters, vacuum cleaners and so on. They were typically oversized and when you turned them on there was an audible hum and dimming of all the nearby lights for both you and your apartment neighbors. They were also often fairly sketchy steel or aluminum boxes without manufacturing labels. I suspect there were probably some dangerous ones.
.. and you claimed without proof also. You didn't say there was "one person," you said there were "lots of people." So prove it.

People like boxes because it gives them an easy and reassuring way to approach complexity they are not equipped to grapple with. You see it all the time in the professional world: people who have to deal with others but are poorly trained and unconfident in their ability to handle human psychology relish these kinds of crutches. You see it even in this discussion: this type must be suited to this kind of job is simpler than thinking holistically about prerequisites.
And very inefficient as a result, funny enough.

They want obedient employees. Make sense.
My guess is that including it free for two years is because they aren’t confident the UX will be any good. They don’t dare charge for an emergency-relays service that might be a mess. So it’s basically an open beta.

Do you need to spend $2000 plus $49.99 a head plus travel, catering and room hire to be told "It's useful to understand that people priorities things and think differently from each other?" If the specifics don't matter, what are you actually paying these consultants to do?
Though I would tend to agree with you (and many other commenters clearly do).

I think this is just how Apple markets themselves. They know that most of the people who buy the Apple watch are not going to use it for 100 milers, and don't need the extra battery life.

I love how they call it a "revolutionary new design", yet most people on the street likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the Ultra and non-ultra.

My mother recently moved in with us. At the age of 80 she needs more help than we can provide. Her pension is high enough that she does not qualify for assistance but well below market rate for home health aides (help with daily activities such as shower, dressing, meds, etc) or a nursing home.

Long story short, we are moving to another country where she can easily afford 24 hour care by a nurse.

Home health (non-skilled) here in the states is about $25/hour, out of pocket that adds up quick.
Ah, that's interesting. I checked out their history page.

Anytime they start by rewinding to millennia ago, that's temperament theory. Keirsey's temperament theory that they mention is fundamentally different from typical MBTI in lots of ways. In fact they can both be used to complement each other.

So it's different, or not, depending on whether you want to be accurate, and true to details, or not. (Also someone should correct the way the Wikipedia article is written regarding MBTI)

Your comment was great timing, I've been watching the first season and it's been starting to grow on me, but I really wasn't sure if I would stick with it. It's crazy that it came out 7 years after Star Trek TNG, but still somehow aged so much worse.

>the focus on climate change is fashion, but with a little tweak we can actually address impactful environmental problems instead.

Strongly disagree. Climate change is a much bigger threat in the short and long term than pollution itself. See my sibling comment for more on that.

That said, it feels like a silly thing to argue about. We should be making efforts to reduce both general pollution and CO2 emissions. Fortunately, a lot of solutions in one area will benefit the other.

>CF DDoS protection is an infrastructure service. Infrastructure level services picking and choosing who is allowed and not allowed, is a very dangerous thing. Such action quickly risk unraveling the entire net.

How old are you? Surely you're aware that this has been an option for all infrastructure level services since the inception of the world wide web? And that this is by no means the first (there have been thousands upon thousands of decisions made like this, large and small), nor the last, time this will happen? And that in the 30+ years of the web's existence these kinds of infrastructure level services have been executing these options, the "entire net" has yet to "unravel" and sites like KF and 8chan, et al continue to find homes on the internet?
There's no other product that does what it does as well as it does it.

It's a no-brainer purchase for me and I won't even blink at replacing them if they're ever lost.

I basically can't imagine my life without them (walking around the city, workouts, playing sports, airports/planes, etc). I can imagine this is much less important if you live in a suburb and mostly commute via car or don't have physically active hobbies.

Ultimately yes it does suck that they're expensive but the alternative of not having them sucks way more IMO.

I'm more interested in the problem of sending strings out into the world where more strings may "stick" to them, possibly producing more strings. You know, like life. Or software.

I'm not sure if this is interesting to anyone else, but it sure is interesting to me! Consider how these are the boundary conditions that justify software design decisions so primordial we don't even consider them decisions anymore.

The point is that it’s not all the “we must murder your granny!” hyperbole that this media is making it out to be. It isn’t the best, it’s better than the median, and it’s a hell of a lot better than what many others have access to. However, I do often see right leaning Canadians encouraging—and right wing politicians implement—cut backs that would make our system considerably worse off.

OSM community has it's own Mastodon instance set up.[1l It feels like a "small, closely knit" twitter, but we talk about OSM all day long. It's better than Twitter because it's easier to discover new tweets that's related to OSM

Also, one of my colleague is using Mastodon as his main social media. Even though his account is set up on different Mastodon served, i can easily follow him too. It feels like e-mail, where you can still get in touch to people that's hosted on different server.

Several years ago, i cant use Mastodon because it's still full of bugs and there's no active community. But for now, it's already usable for daily use.

While not always true internationally, at least in the US most jurisdictions won't charge for rescue as long unless you weren't careless and reckless. Even where state law allows for recovering rescue costs, it's a high bar before they'll actually send out a bill... they normally don't want to discourage people from calling from help until it's too late, if it's truly needed. (Keep in mind that rescue in the wilderness can easily take 12-48 hours.)

That said, laws allowing the state to recoup rescue costs are becoming more common as satellite messengers have become more prevalent, leading to more non-emergency nuisance calls.

This is very true. I've seen a single bad manager destroy an entire wing of an engineering organization in a couple of months. This person wasn't even a particularly mean or bad person, and had apparently been a successful middle manager for Pac Bell in their previous role. But they had no feel for the team they had taken over at all, and tried to impose a new structure all at once (basically boiled down to all of the senior devs were now technical project managers and wouldn't be coding). Everyone left within a couple of weeks.
Season 5 might have sucked watching one episode a week but as a binge watcher, I thought it worked out pretty well.

The whole series ended up with a narrative arc like a novel. First season was setup. Things started to pick up in season 2, then 3 and 4 built to a huge peak, and season 5 wound it down, like Lord of the Rings after the ring is destroyed.

I can't think of any other show that has a single narrative arc like this across the whole series. At most you get an arc per season. Often not even that; e.g. the new Battlestar Galactica was a continuing story but the narrative tension was pretty even throughout, with a series of small arcs, each just a few episodes long.
No bluetooth device supports decent duplex audio, that I know of.
Babylon 5 has not aged as well as DS9 unfortunately. While Babylon 5 had some amazing talent and the better story arcs, DS9 had a better cast in many ways, Avery Brooks and Rene Auberjonois and Michael Dorn and others really leaned into their performances in a way which I think only Mira Furlan and Andreas Katsulas really did on B5.

Modern PLBs send your location to both LEOSAR, MEOSAR and GEOSAR, as well as 121.5MHz homing signal for SAR responders that need to find you exact location (since you might not even have good GPS signal or GPS signal at all if you're in a canyon for example).

I've been using PLB for years and unless I'll only switch to Garmin InReach if I really need to communicate with people back home. Yes, it can be very handy, not just for that, but also to communicate with other fellow thruhikers in ways other than trail registers, but in some cases LEO might not be good enough for sending distress signal.
There are mechanisms to prevent that on a large (EU) scale, and US probably will use them if needed. Threats or sweet deals to politicians will keep them in line.
