At least with spices you also need very little, so exposure to heavy metal contaminants through that route would be relatively lower.
They have a nasty bug where if you buy "all access" membership now for say June next year (set start date in June) you'll get free access until then. You actually can't pay for on-demand while you wait for your membership to start. But you can book desks for zero credits. However many parts of the app don't work and it seems the wifi doesn't work - but you can use guest wifi.
We use WeWork On Demand for this. No recurring membership fees, just pay as you go. It's okay -- $30 to $50 / day to use the common rooms and amenities. Much better than ... a library / coffee shop / hotel room.

Their guest policy could be better though! You essentially cannot have guests with the On Demand membership -- just go to a coffee shop for that.

It’s not just startups. There are established players like Regus.
Savings from scale usually comes from automation, and people are generally looking to talk to humans, not bots. This is the exact reason Google avoids human support in the first place - there are no massive cost savings, because it does not scale well.
1. Every meeting should have an agenda in the invite. I know some folks go as far as ignoring meetings that don't have one.

2. One person should own and drive the meeting.

3. Intention of every meeting should be producing some kind of result: action items, decisions made, people responsible, dates & milestones, etc.

Based on the short description you provided it sounds like nobody owns/runs the meeting.

If that's your responsibility (or you choose to make it yours) then keeping people on track is your job. You shouldn't feel like an ass for doing your job, you should feel like adult.

It's hard starting out.

Let's look at the opposite end of the spectrum. People that have more requests for work than they have time. This is common, especially in your field (programming).

So - a hack I like to suggest. Befriend one of these people! They exist on reddit, twitter, etc. Find them, they love humble bragging "ah I turn down jobs all the time nbd".

These people are like magnets for jobs, and because of that, they are also extremely credible sources of referrals. Hey xyz! I heard you are turning down a lot of jobs because you're too busy. Do you mind sending those my way?

Hope that helps.
It very clearly is. By watching ADSB data, I can build a picture of your travel patterns. I will be able to determine where you go, when, and could lay an ambush for you once I've found a pattern.

Same thing if I put a tracking device on your personal conveyance.

AF1 routinely turns off their ADSB transponder, as do military aircraft. They generally do not when operating in high traffic areas, but will if they are over commercial airspace and want to mask their position.

While this data's purpose is primarily for safety and to make ATC job easier, it was never intended to used as a public tracking system.

Show HN: Sendie – A Twitter Alternative
I have been building a twitter alternative. The central core features are in place. Running on postgres with uuid6 ID's seems to have turned out really nicely for this data type.

It's got the feed and reposts and following users and all the main things that are central to a twitter-like feed.

Still pretty rough around the edges. I'm still finding little off quirks all the time to clean up. It's been a fun project though and I plan to continue working on this as I have about a dozen ideas I want to add to it.

> The best research we have suggests that statins save a _lot_ of lives.

The best research we have suggests that statins do bugger all, maybe reducing a little your LDL, while other research shows a correlation between LDL levels and longevity. Yes that's right, people living longer tend to have higher levels of maligned LDL. Which means we have no idea how lipid metabolism works still.

If you liked that talk from Dr. Mason about cholesterol, here's one about statins and how little useful they actually are: https://youtu.be/I7r4j1u42V8

They are actually good at reducing cholesterol, sure, but it's just a misunderstood marker. Doctors use it to measure your health but it is not per se dangerous. Having pathological levels of cholesterol in utero would benefit from it, but if you're eating burger and pizzas, fix your diet, a pill's not gonna save you.

Super confused. There is nothing new with WeWork other than perhaps cooler interior design.

Does one always risk a bit of "pretentiousness" if they act/live contrary to the "main stream"? Just by having a flip phone, for example, someone will be called a "hipster" or whatever name. It's like a group social phenomena or something - just by being vegetarian (or being more "pretentious" by being vegan) people experience this sort of stuff
Risky? I'd say it was very low risk considering the lack of ubiquitous technology that we have today. No cell phones, no cameras, and a very centralized media.

Unstable people are easily discredited. The CIA literally coined the term "conspiracy theory" in response to people not trusting the narrative as a means to preemptively discredit any unwanted suspicions. That's totally something a legitimate organization would do.

And stating that Kennedy would "curtail their operations somewhat" is a gross understatement. Kennedy was costing the Dulles brothers lots of money. Bay of Pigs, literally averting the takeover of a country that the CIA attempted to kick into motion- that's a bit more than curtailing somewhat.

And the Church committee was toothless. No legislation resulted from it- simply an executive order. The Church committee is also credibly accused of limiting the scope of it's inquiry in order to protect the CIA. And of course the agencies did nothing - they didn't need to do anything, they continue to operate without real oversight to this day. Spying on the Senate, then lying to Congress...zero repercussions. The Bushes, Clinton- all presidents that had interesting CIA connections.

The biggest issue they have now is competing with other Intel agencies, foreign and domestic.
I'm making an argument that the article is click bait, which it is. I'm not sure where you see a value judgement about whether click bait is wrong in my comments, or why you are defensive about it on behalf of the author?

I don't like click bait. I voiced that opinion. That's all.
You’re missing that the incident in question was days after the jet landed at the airport. DAYS. There was no following from earlier that day.

My statement of price to pay was public jet location information using public airspace. This is the case for everyone. It was done for years and there’s no evidence it was a factor in the incident here despite many trying to find an excuse after the fact.
Neat game and tech, but I'm still left wondering what benefit blockchain actually offers here. This looks like a run-of-the-mill Facebook/Zynga space exploration game from 15 years ago. Now, I'm no fan of either of those companies, but to my knowledge a lack of trust in the centralized server was never an issue.

What benefit justifies the drastically increased costs and reduced speeds from moving this on-chain?
Okay but then it would be the Soviets who had detailed information on JFK murdering her, and that was being actively used as leverage against JFK. Then it would make more logical sense for the US government/CIA to remove JFK. The movie script here needs to get updated to make it a bit more plausible. Make it so that the USSR was blackmailing him to pull out Vietnam or something.
I myself have a pretty low bus factor, but I'm pretty sure if I were bus'd, the issues that would eventually crop up would be hard to solve because of the institutional knowledge that makes me bus-y at all.

I suspect neither you nor I work at hyperscale, where I'm given to understand things break much faster and at more interesting scales. It's hardly "physically holding" anything together, but what happens if you leave a bunch of services unmaintained? "Something bad", IMO, and the fact that something bad hasn't actually happened by this stage is impressive; you've really got to hand it to Fauci.
There won't be a police report. Many people have investigated Elon's claims, and determined that the alleged incident could not have taken place when or where he claimed it did.

Filing a false police report is a crime. It's only a misdemeanor, but if Elon's stupid enough to go down this route a conviction for a crime of dishonesty can be used against him in court to impeach any testimony he gives until his dying days.
It all comes down to DRM. The media you get to download cannot work on it's own, so you're forever tied to the store that provided it to you. Otherwise you could just store it on your own.

Meanwhile the pirates still always find their way around it, so it's the paying customers who deal with the fallout.

Engadget's very brief review:

https://www.engadget.com/the-morning-after-dells-modular-lap...
Oddly, this site doesn't report for my local counties that are listed as having submitted data to CDC's NWSS (King and Pierce counties in Washington State).

I wonder if the more "popular" counties are pay-walled or something?

EDIT: According to the site, "County Selection:
Counties associated with each location were provided by our sampling partners, and correspond to the primary county served by each sampling location. In the county-level section we highlight a subset of counties which had at least 21 weeks of data and whose sampling locations represented at least 10,000 individuals, as well as the primary counties of our sampling partners in the Biobot Network."

So I'm curious what other factors are excluding the largest (by population) counties in Washington?

I would definitely say that the progressive caucus inside the Democratic party is pro-immigration. If it were not for the two party system, this would be its own party. Regrettably this sub-group does not have a ton of influence on their party’s policies, but their influence has been growing for sure since 2018, getting almost a 100 seats in this years mid-term election. Not all districts have the option of voting a progressive (which most likely happens in a democratic primary vote), and quite a lot of times a progressive actually looses to a moderate (or even a conservative in the case of Cisneros vs. Cuellar in TX-28). But my feeling is that the progressive caucus has not stopped growing, my hope is that this will result in a significant reform in the kind of immigration policy the democratic party endorses.

Supposedly the stimulating effect of chocolate mostly comes from PEA (Phenylethylamine) which people just buy in pills to use as a nootropic. So you can just try that if it's only about the effect.

I'm a big fan of (and small contributor to) pip-tools, but both poetry and pipenv offer management of more stuff, which understandably appeals to folks seeking a simple comprehensible workflow.

Pip-tools is also a bit lower level, offering flexibility and compatibility which I relish, but also requiring more attention from the user to set things up as they wish.

If you or anyone else enjoying pip-tools is a Zsh user and interested in trying out my higher level functions to ease interactive use of pip-tools, venvs, and also isolated app installs (like pipx), I would love some feedback on zpy: https://github.com/AndydeCleyre/zpy

I'm very happy to answer any questions about it right here or as GitHub issues.
Thanks! Yup, if you look at the bugzilla link I shared above, you'll see I mention this extension in the last comment: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237051#c11 .

I couldn't check it as I run Tb beta (which the extension doesn't support last time I check), but I might give it a try next time I maintain one of these machines ..... or not:

0. They never ever need to click it to re-order. Why bother with an unneeded feature?

1. Extensions break! UserChrome.css too, but maybe less so :) , and a CSS rule is simpler/smaller in added complexity & potential for bugs than an extension.

2. Also, hiding the columns means one less bit of chrome to read/parse. Hiding stuff avoids misclicks, but also increases GUI legibility for people with bad eyesight.
Tons of top trims? Sure, but only because it’s the best-selling truck.

Nevertheless, the vast majority of F-150s (like mine) are XLT trim or lower.

Moreover, you might be surprised at how small the price premium is on F-250/350 over the F-150 in work truck trims.
It would be marginally slower to take the square root when all you need is rank
I don't think GoF got it wrong. The foundational essence of the approach that maps to software is there. What is wrongheaded is to expect a one-to-one mapping between two entirely distinct subject matters.

CA's architectural approach, stripped of the new age verbiage, is reducible to bottom-up, local action, global effect. There are local conditions with recipes, and patterns of binding/connecting. Together with Frank Lloyd Wright, these two gents have mapped out two distinct approaches to what Wright called Organic Architecture. (Wright following Sullivan used a 'generative system', the famous seed-germ [1], to order and create space.) Both men are pretty big on Beauty, but only one actually delivered beautiful works. Alexander's approach remains a theoretical proposition, unlike Frank Lloyd Wright's generative order approach (which he regrettably did not fully disclose to his proteges.)

And having skimmed the post and the core program course, it is clear these folk don't actually understand software, or anything that is worthy of the name 'Beauty' in software.

"It is a view of programming as the natural genetic infrastructure of a living world which you/we are capable of creating, managing, making available, and which could then have the result that a living structure in our towns, houses, work places, cities, becomes an attainable thing.

That would be remarkable. It would turn the world around, and make living structure the norm once again, throughout society, and make the world worth living in again." -- Christopher Alexander

I'm quite happy to have someone like Alan Kay pontificate on aesthetics of software, but Christopher Alexander is not remotely qualified.

Ever so slightly, but that mass is regained when the C and O2 separated again.
But no video of the incident actually taking place. Quite surprising that Elon apparently is not aware of the dozen or so cameras on a car made by the company he owns!
My problem is the covering. A more linear structure is a lot neater to cover with a tarp or clear plastic (say, for building a greenhouse).

No worries whatsoever. It wasn't a critique of the general idea, simply to keep distance metrics in mind relative to scale.

Do you mean they are less familiar with certain books (like famous ones like Ulysses) or their ability to learn from written medium has reduced (concentration levels, speed of reading, etc.)?
I own a 6.5 Carcano and can confirm that the this chambering does exhibit non-standard terminal ballistics when using the old bottle-nosed, flat-base surplus bullets. Also, a lot of these late-19th century surplus rifles (including my 1891 Truppe Speciali) have less than stellar bores, having seen hard use in two world wars. Mine was shot out pretty bad when in service and often keyholes rounds, for example. All kinds of weird things could be possible at impact in that case. That said, it's still a remarkably well-designed cartridge with many features considered modern now, so can be flat-shooting and very accurate. Some detailed analysis of Oswald's Carcano could lend some insight into whether this is relevant.
Yikes.

Agendas are good, and the person running the meeting should try to stick with the agenda.

Sometimes it's hard though, if senior people within the meeting start steering it off course and the person running the meeting is a lower level and doesn't feel they have the right to steer the conversation back.

I don't know how I'd fix it, other than just subtly always steering the conversation back. Or you could just jokingly say "we're off topic! Stick to X dammit!" Depends on the culture, probably wouldn't fly at a lot of places.

Imo, it's really up to the person running the meeting to keep it on track.
Is it possible (feasable) to create a geodesic dome on a hill or do you need a flat surface to make it work?
I think the point here is that there are two ways to measure impact. One is just a raw "how impressive is this code" score. In that case, self-landing rockets, self driving trucks, etc, all score much higher than VSCode.

On the other hand, an equally valid measure of impact is utility * number of people. While things like self-driving trucks are extremely cool, as of today their overall impact is quite small. VSCode impacts an enormous amount of people every single day and saves them a ton of time.

Town of 40k here - we have 3 coworking spaces. I started the first one - just leased a small office building, and started subleasing spaces. Some private office space, some shared public/hotdesk seats. We're small - 12-15 people at a time, max. The others came later, and are larger, but we're all within a 5 minute walk from each other.
Contradicts my experience as well.

I started out using DOS in the mid 90's to play games, used Windows 3.1, skipped over to 98SE then XP and 7.

I have used Macs before, not enough to make an impression.

I tried Linux back when I was in collage during the XP days but it always seemed to need more tweaking than my XP install and the lack of gaming kept me on Windows.

Currently I am running Linux Mint. I install the OS and go. No need to tweak or mess with command line.

I am not that interested in which OS I am running aside from the fact that I dislike telemetry and forced updates. I want the OS to get our of the way so that I can do whatever I am trying to do, Linux seems to be there now. It feels like Windows has regressed, with setting pages buried in 5 different places.
It doesn't look like there are any pull forces in a dome so I wouldn't be concerned. Mainly there seems to be shear forces which could be a problem if the wood splits.
> They're wearing Carhartt (an unusual choice for a metropolis like NYC), reading Dostoyevski and gathering to "listen to the wind."

I don't know, to me it all seemed exceedingly genuine. If they're spending lots of time outside in parks—"rain or shine, even snow"—their clothing choices make sense. They like reading, and their reading material has made an impression (as good books are wont to do, especially for impressionable teenagers), such as by convincing them of the value of activities like "listening to the wind".
