> I'm just looking for an indoor air quality monitor for temperature, humidity, co2 and ideally pm2.5 and pressure.

If you don't want it to be "connected," try a TemTop P1000. I've torn one apart, and I have it in my office right now - it seems to do what it says on the tin sanely. Temperature, humidity, PM2.5, PM10, and CO2 levels. I have another TemTop unit and they generally agree within some reasonable margin of error, and they do seem to independently measure things like VOC vs CO2 - I can see one rise without the other, depending on what I'm doing.

It doesn't have pressure, though.

In my view the main issue with Foundation was the documentation, which is where Bootstrap shines while most other CSS frameworks and pre-baked design systems are generally lacking.

Airplane is so cool!

Is there a way to trigger the tasks via webhooks?

E.g. I'm using a signup flow w/ Airtable to check off / approve new sign ups. Person signs up, we see the profile, sometimes fix some details, and move it into the official Airtable of profiles — but would love to use Airplane instead since I'm trying to move off of Airtable for these sorts of things and use a "real" database. Using Views and a webhooks/triggers would be nice for the future when we just want to "auto approve" or move to db and airtable in parallel, etc..
GeForce Now is a good option, but their implementation is clunky precisely because it is a "bring your own games" affair.
Why is a half life of a billion years problematic? The longer the half-life, the less 'active' it is. That aside, in about 5 billion years the sun will turn into a red giant, possibly expanding out behind the orbit of earth until it reaches the orbit of mars. Looong before that there will be many sunstorms torching us.

Or some supervolcano hick-up. Or, or, or, whatever.
I love the Smoky Mountains but the traffic is awful.

There are times when it takes 2 hours to go from I-40 to Gatlinburg on TN-66. It's worse than NYC/LA traffic.

Have you ever been up near the Cumberland Gap around this time? I imagine that it's also beautiful but less crowded (I've only ever been there in the summer).

Maybe. We're talking about a hypothetical power struggle, one aspect of which is that one group subverts the computing resource of another group. Even if at some point the second group realizes this has happened (potentially difficult when not only their decompilation tools but also their intragroup communications are subject to interception and alteration by the first group) there's no guarantee that they will ever regain control of those resources. The first group may be able to leverage their control enough to severely impact the second group's prospects in every aspect of the struggle.

More generally, when groups of people are engaged in a power struggle, there's no guarantee that things will return to the status quo ante.
People only put up with GCP because AWS is owned by Amazon, a notoriously ruthless company. AWS is better from the perspectives of API stability, customer support, and third party support, aka the primary things cloud customers care about. Now that Microsoft has Azure, they are going to crush GCP into the ground and there is nothing Google can do to stop it even though Google invented most modern cloud technology.

I believe you're right. In part, I blame the shift of the internet's target audience. It had a serious pull of that fringe of society in the early days.

Nonetheless, content sanitization has become more and more prevalent. It's disturbing to think, of the influence of social bubbles, and algorithmic driven content proliferation. How much of this mix of content moderation + appealing to a bigger audience affects our own thoughts/opinions.

I understand that a lot of it should be sanitized. But this thought is terrifying.
I share your sense that there's something horrible about this. But I don't think it's necessarily true that the only way it adds value is "from the perspective of maximizing revenue".

Suppose you've got a book with 200 pages and you can sell each page for $10k or the whole book for $1M. You get twice as much by selling individual pages and you are (hypothetically) a soulless money-grubbing philistine, so you slice it up and sell all the pages.

Has anything been gained, other than extra money for you? Yes! 200 people now have a beautiful historic artefact that they value having enough to want to pay $10k for it. In the scenario where you don't play Lizzie Borden on the book, one person has the whole thing. But evidently the satisfaction they get from having it isn't 200x the satisfaction those 200 people each get, because if it were they'd have been willing to pay you $2M instead of $1M.

Of course the paragraph above is the naive optimistic version. The cynical pessimistic version says that no one in the story actually cares about history or calligraphy or art or what have you, they just hope that in a few years someone else will be willing to pay more for the artefact they've got.

(Maybe the very fact that the individual pages are worth more than the book composed of them is an argument against the cynical pessimistic version: if all that's going on here is a lot of soulless money-grubbing philistines trying to maximize their profits, then the price of the book should be at least the price of all its pages, because someone who owns the book always has the option of slicing it up, so apparently something else is going on here. But I fear a sufficient explanation is that everyone is a soulless money-grubbing philistine and the market isn't functioning efficiently.)

[EDITED to add: Another bit of evidence that the relevant market, in this particular case and in the present day, isn't entirely composed of soulless money-grabbing philistine speculators: the story tells us that the person who bought it is not interested in selling it for $10k, because he loves having it, because it's beautiful and historic. Of course this doesn't tell us anything about whether when the book was sliced up for profit the market was entirely composed of s.m-g.p.s; maybe it was.]

You can view all NSFW content on the iOS app, but you have to log into an account and click a button to say you're old enough. I think they're trying to make it effectively opt-in.

Another guess is that this is easy for Reddit to do (and not Tumblr) because Reddit has the concept of an NSFW subreddit, where all content under that sub is age-restricted. And content on other subs would be heavily moderated most of the time. Whereas on Tumblr, posts don't go directly to "pre-categorized feeds" in that same way, since you're just an individual making a post on your own page more or less. So moderation (I'd guess) would be a lot harder.
Me: Are you in jail yet?

Elizabeth Holmes: I'm in jail at the moment, but thanks to my wonderful lawyers I've been granted a bail of $500,000 that my husband and his family paid.

Elizabeth Holmes: Well no, not yet. We’re still in the appeal process. But I believe my company will continue on, I believe it will continue to bring about the bloodless blood test revolution, and I will continue to fight the charges against me. I appreciate your question.

Elizabeth Holmes: For what? I never intended to hurt anyone. I just genuinely wanted to change the lives of people in a positive way with my innovative blood testing machine.

Elizabeth Holmes: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has accused me of the following crimes: multiple counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The allegations of fraud against me are not just allegations. They are proven facts. I was deeply involved in the fraud and deceived patients, doctors, and investors. I am guilty and apologize to all of those I hurt.

Me: Why did you lie in court?

Elizabeth Holmes: I did not give the jury the whole truth. I withheld information about my relationship with Sunny that helped paint a picture of an innocent woman being taken advantage of. I lied about a lot of things in court. And I'm sorry.
this is a good analogy, in that some supermarkets feel soulless, whereas others feel really cozy, even though ultimately they both have aisles with stuff on shelves. it's like the difference between someone using a template versus making something by hand. there's a human feel to the latter.

Totally agreed. But can something be both "historic" and not even "minim[ally] worthwhile"?

A large portion of the ML community (rightly) discredits Google papers because:

- they rarely provide the data or code used so it's basically "i swear it works bro" research

- what they achieve is usually through having the most pristine dataset on the planet and is often unusable by other researchers

- other times they publish papers that are basically "we slightly modified this excellent open source paper, slapped an internal name on it and trained it on our proprietary dataset"

- sometimes they achieve remarkably little but their papers still get a shiny spot because they're a big name and sponsor all the conferences

- they've also been caught trying to patent/copyright ML techniques; disregarding that this is the same as privatizing math, these are often techniques they plainly didn't come up with

Also ever since OpenAI did their "we have to go closed-source for-profit to save humanity" PR campaign, every company that releases models that can achieve a large amount in NLP/CV gets dragged by the media and equated to Skynet.
I can provide a little bit of insight into the Google Pay shenanigans, though I didn’t work there or interact with anyone there.

The initial Google Wallet launch irked the card networks because they presented their own proxy card rather than a card that clearly advertised the card issuer and the network. (Oh boy do they care a lot about branding…)

I assume they dropped NFC initially because it was done with the first generation tech that was very insecure and simply transmitted card numbers in the clear. Today’s contactless tech is all EMV based, and also needs to depend on a Secure Enclave chip to be blessed by PCI; that might explain why they cut off support for a number of devices. This happened around the time Apple Pay came into the scene.

The rebranding and all that though, well, that’s Google.
Maybe Myspace should make a concerted push back into the space Facebook has I guess decided to vacate.

It seems crazy to try and compete with Tiktok on their home turf, they sound to have a pretty competent implementation and Facebook has got to be about as nimble as a barge at this point.
jedberg said "AWS has shut down I believe only one service in its entire existence (SDB)" - emphasis on AWS, not Amazon as a whole. Big difference when you're talking about developer services, as opposed to end-user services.

Now, it's a perfectly valid point that Stadia is a consumer service, like Drive - but in a thread where there are discussions about developer services (GCP, for instance), making the distinction is important.
The increasing frequency of extreme weather is a textbook prediction of global warming.

I have these for a year and I'm rather happy with them. The view plus acts as a hub for the minis and the values measured correlate with smells and stale air feel of the rooms. They did help me significantly improve my sleep quality.

Lua's problem is that JavaScript exists. They are fairly similar, but there are a lot more JS devs. QuickJS is about the same speed and size, so a lot of teams seem to be gravitating in that direction.
For clarity, let's assume the hospital stores its records in plaintext. For the pharma company, the hospital encrypts the patient records with a secret key. Now they let the pharma company run their homomorphic algorithm and send the values back. Only problem is the pharma company can not read those results without having access to the key. FHE is completely redundant in this use case - the hospital could have simply run the pharma company's SQL and audited the code and outputs.

What is FHE actually good for then? Let's imagine you are a top secret agent and you get instructions to fly to Bulgaria as a part of your mission. You have other hostile agents constantly monitoring you, trying to understand your next move. But there's a problem - to buy a plane ticket to Bulgaria you need to know the name of its capital city. You can't just type it to Google, because these other agents have actually infiltrated the Google servers and can see everything you search (assume once you actually know the name of the capital, you can somehow buy the actual ticket without "them" knowing..)

Lukcily though, CloudCorp offers a public homomorphic query service for all world capitals. This service allows you to send a query for the capital of any country over an intercepted connection, and get back the result. Even if the hostile agents had infiltrated CloudCorp and were monitoring all your comms, they would not be able know which country's capital you just queried. Not even CloudCorp could do that, you are the only person who knows what you asked and what was the result.

How such service would be implemented is explained in good detail in this tutorial, completele with working code: https://github.com/homenc/HElib/tree/master/examples/BGV_cou...

P.S. The capital of Bulgaria is Sofia.
I don't know, and it's a good question.

I wonder if it has something to do with it being (for now) a local business. I am extremely wary of using my debit card online. The credit card comes with a lot of protection if the information is stolen. A debit card lets them empty my bank account. In theory, I can get it back -- eventually.

If somebody who has stolen a debit card tries to use it in person, they're running a much higher risk. So the marijuana sellers may have an easier time getting access to that network.

That's purely speculation, however. I know effectively nothing about the business.
It’s also a very different populations with different expectations.
Yeah pretty much everything is bad for the environment if you start from a position of "evolutionary status quo = ideal"
True, at least the East German Z80 clone U880 was most likely "properly" reverse-engineered from a real chip's die photos (similar to how the visual6502 netlist was reverse engineered), with bug fixes applied in the process - because the U880 has a slightly different undocumented behaviour than an original Z80.

There are still conflicting stories to this day though (e.g. some licensed clones from other Western manufactures also differed in behaviour in those areas - so the U880 design could have been stolen from those), the only thing that's for sure is that the U880 isn't a "transistor-perfect" clone of an original Z80.
Yes I agree. Much easier. That was basically our version 0 ;)
As much as I like custom made websites and design that take a lot of time, thought, and effort, I really hate when they make things too unique by doing something weird, like making me scroll left to right across the website, instead of up and down because "The concept is for the user to read it, like a book. Because the website is about an author. Get it?"

There is a twinge of pain that I feel in the corporatization of the internet, and the loss of fun that used to be so present, but I cannot in good faith deny the level of predictability and ease-of-use that comes with standard templates like that one. It's clean and to the point. It's nice to look at. It's so common because it's such an excellent design. Get the point across, offer a little bit of detail further down, offer contact info for those who are still interested.

I also really appreciate the lack of one of those tedious "not-a-popup popups" that so many websites have gone with, where they try to get you to sign up for a newsletter of a website that they couldn't be bothered to update their copyright info in the last 2 years.
Cloud's losses ($1.8B in H1) are about 4% of the operating income of the money-making parts ($46B in the same timeframe). Sure, a billion here and a billion there, pretty soon you're talking real money. But it's hardly "sucking the company dry of its profits".

CPU speeds were increasing rather slowly up until the mid 90's when suddenly we went from 33Mhz to 1Ghz and higher over the course of a few years it seemed.

RAM was super expensive in this time frame, and the 6502 was conceived as a cheap industrial controller. So it was never meant to be part of a system with oodles and oodles of memory for the time, such as the VAXes and PDPs of the time.

Surprised you're not complaining about the absence of floating point, but that didn't stop Bill Gates from implementing software floating-point on the 6502 BASICs he sold to Commodore, Atari Apple at the time.
Has there ever been a case where two undercover agents are trying to play the other one? Not knowing each other are agents.

Or a situation where the guy who an undercover agent approaches tells his superiors? Who then want him to go undercover to find out who the suspected foreign agent works for.

I’m sure this can happen in government.

what's also important here is that people are very invested in the ownership of their games, probably more so than they are of their films/their music.
'your games' are intrinsically tied to your saves in those games; your characters, your items, all the bullshit grinding you did once and never want to have to do ever again. in a very real sense, "You" are in your games in a way that isn't true of movies or music or the other formats of media that have been relinquished to the cloud.

Despotism is lucrative for those on the right end of the information asymmetry.
