Quite a while might not be such a bad thing depending on the cooler design. Typical chest-style coolers are far more efficient than your standing refrigerator units, because cool air doesn't escape nearly as much when you open the lid since cool air tends to sink. If it needs time to recharge its cooling cycle, in such a cooler design, this may not be a concern because the cooler holds a lower temperature for longer.
Totally, that has been me in the past. You also burn yourself out and start underperforming.
> if we use an anal or ear canal thermometer makes temperature vary ±0.4 °C.

This part is just known, though: the usual "close enough" standard for core temperature is an anal temperature and everything else you have to adjust. (Everything else you say I agree with, though.)

I personally like the “plant based” term, because for me “vegan” was always defined as a negative (vegans dont eat this and dont eat that), whereas plant-based just means what it says.

In my experience in shops in the UK at least, there will always be a little “vegan” logo stuck on the packet as well
Hey, you folks who are willing to pay to be part of a vetted community? Looks like Sam Altman’s WorldCoin, which is about verifiable identity, might just become a viable business. ChatGPT’s role in that strategy makes more sense now.. remember Altman is behind OpenAI? If this is part of his strategy to monopolize internet comments, then his next step is to have ChatGPT recognize its own outputs. (To deal with those WorldCoiners who abuse ChatGPT, for example.)
This toot reminds me of the plot of Infocom's classic text adventure "The Lurking Horror":

Despite a terrible snowstorm, a young G.U.E. Tech student travels to the school's computer lab to work on his grad paper. However, something strange has happened. The file containing the student's document has been partially overwritten by the Department of Alchemy's files. At first the student's only goal is to retrieve his lost document, but soon he realizes that something far more sinister is occurring in the depths of the school building.

> This makes me think you did not enter a bookstore before you checked out Amazon's version. Many do exactly this for the big, recognizable hits they expect to sell more of.

Yeah, I worked at a chain bookstore years before Amazon ever opened a physical store and the entire bestsellers display was done covers out, as were all the endcaps. Within the aisles, we organized books so that some of the books on every shelf would be cover out, which sometimes optimizes for space, and makes for a more aesthetically pleasing shelf layout and allows for the more prominent display of popular titles and eye-catching covers.

Setting up shelves this way was part of the training and a constant practice, adjusting the display of stock throughout the day as items are purchased, removed, and returned. The entire store got a once over every night at closing.
I'm curious, if Copyright stays valid for 70 years or so, how are these books only now entering the public sphere if the last of them was written nearly 100 years ago in 1927?

> platforms will follow and improve their technology for recognizing spam

Written language has patterns, and your response and mine also follow these patterns. Language models like GPT-3 and ChatGPT can learn these patterns because there are finite ways in which humans write text. ChatGPT responses are easy to recognize because it was fine-tuned with specific data to meet chatbot requirements and provide Q&A style responses. In the near future, these language models will be fine-tuned for specific purposes, such as spam, and will mimic human text patterns in a way that will not be distinguishable from real humans.

Anecdotal, but my family has a history of autoimmune disease (including multiple myeloma in my father’s case). My temp is always slightly higher than what is considered normal. It could be due to how my immune system tends to be overactive, many doctors have claimed it is caused by having “connective tissue disease”. Never had any adverse health problems from it.

What can be done commercially for rusted stuff (cars and such) is to apply rust converters that convert the iron oxide layer on the outside into a stable primer so it seals the outside of the metal from oxidizing further.

The person in question is a Congressman, I want those people always learning, being curious, evaluating deeply what they're voting on. This person knows the law and how it's made, having them know a lot more about tech is not a bad thing.

It's a misquote. The actual comment was made about USENET, not the Internet, in response to an incident at Stanford. This was the "rec.humor.funny" incident, in the late 1980s.[1] Someone at Stanford (Ralph Gorin, an IT manager?) had blocked some USENET groups from entering the campus USENET network. But there was a faculty member who had a low-bandwidth connection to the outside world, and ran a USENET node. USENET works by syncing; when two nodes talk, they exchange any missing messages in any groups they both support. USENET nodes often connected by dialing each other with dial-up modems every hour or so. Some low-bandwidth connection automatically copied across the missing censored messages. So, USENET really did treat censored messages as lost data to be transmitted over another path.

John Gilmore is generally credited with saying this about the Internet around 1993, but he acknowledges was originally made about USENET.[2]

If anyone can find Stanford SU-SCORE archives for the 1980s, the original source is probably in there.

Possibly because your 37.5 is from your body trying to reach 38 but not getting there yet. I'm just recovering from influenza right now and over the past two weeks I've noticed that pattern very clearly -- I feel worse when my temperature is 37.5 and rising than I do when my temperature is 39 and steady.

It is always this grammatical structure in German. Consider the alternative: weighing the "weight" of the parts of a compound word to figure out the grammatical gender. Lots of rules and exceptions! As it is, there is one very simple rule with AFAIK no exceptions.

German is difficult for sure, but the gender of compound words is a bad example to prove that.

> but vegan is a dirty word for some people, likely because a lot of the early vegan meat alternatives were ghastly

Probably more to do with stereotypes of vegans themselves - ie. condescending, arrogant, self-righteous hippies.

As a non-vegan, I think a lot of vegan food is actually really good. But as a rule of thumb I avoid vegan dishes that use substitutes for traditionally non-vegan dishes.
This strikes me as the start of a euphemism treadmill, given that the etymology of "vegan" is no more negative than "plant based".
I've tended to see the term "plant-based" as synonymous with "vegan and/or vegetarian", used when there's variability or uncertainty about which of those more specific terms would apply. "Meatless" would also suffice but I think "plant-based" is used to emphasize what is present rather than absent.

But I think the essay is right the term has become vaguer than that even, and my own understanding of it doesn't quite make sense.
That's a great application. Robot could even move from tractor to tractor to move multiple of them down the field.

When you're manually moving the tractor, do the birds ever get stuck/pinched under the edges? Seeing videos of them being moved, it seems like it might be easy to have happen if the chicken got lazy.
I know that's common wisdom, but I also have started to doubt it -- when variation is so large, does it really matter whether you measure in the ear or the butt?

(For what it's worth, my local hospitals use ear canal temperatures for diagnostic purposes.)
I'm going to assume based on your username that you're about the same age as me (30ish).

This is far from universal, and I can personally name quite a few people who have absolutely avoiding rotting in old age through participation in local community - makerspaces, bridge clubs, Rotary and more.

The family moving away and leaving the older generation to rot is also far from the global norm. Even in Western countries, Asians, Islanders and Africans (among other groups) maintain strong familial bonds until the day they die.
Weed lasers would be a welcomed implement. In my county they estimate a large percentage of the viable agricultural output is lost due to foreign and domestic invasive plants overtaking grazing and cultivated land. You have to work really hard to feel like you are breaking even if you are not willing to nuke with 2-4D every spring and fall.

Some plants (even native/noninvasives. looking at you Lupine…) cause serious harm directly to livestock, or reduce the carry ability of the pastures (mustards, St. John’s wort) to get livestock to late fall without eating the hay you cut in the summer that might have a cluster of hoary alyssum which will make your horses sick. Some, you may just have to make your peace with (Canadian thistle).

Plants are scary.

Airlines are extremely low-margin businesses, discount airlines like SWA doubly so. “Posting a record loss” of this magnitude isn’t something that can be afforded. What you’re talking about is likely to turn into some form of bankruptcy. Maybe it’s a relatively minor Chapter 11 where all those refunds get written down by the bankruptcy court, or maybe SWA goes the way of TWA and Pan-Am.

All I see is people hiring programmers and IT workers. Basically the younger worker bees. Not managers who aren't programming or people with more experience than being a serf. The lesson is you're expected to start your own company at a certain point or be a construction worker (programmer, IT worker) the rest of your life. If you're not a manager on track to be a senior manager by your 40s, and you aren't just a programmer, you're screwed.

Look at the code base of some SPAs that are written in React. Your confusion with styling is normal since React itself doesn't tell you how to handle that.

Each project can use a different way to style the application (CSS, CSS modules, CSS in JS, Styled Components, Sass, Less, Stylable, Emotion, etc...)

Initially I was also very confused with React, but at some point, the model "clicks" in your head.
> It's very hard to do good recommendations -- even for Amazon/Goodreads! -- without people who care about what they're recommending.

But is that a property of the recommendations or of the circumstances under which they are received?

It's possible that the quality of a recommendation generated by an AI based on psychological profiles is superior, so that if it was followed, the book would be enjoyed. But it's not being followed, because it appears too unlikely and the reader doesn't trust the AI.

If that's true, the competitive advantage of the physical interaction would not actually be the recommendations themselves, but the atmosphere it creates which makes readers susceptible to listening to them.

The volumes of email spam are absolutely staggering, but its detection and filtering, with minuscule amounts of false negatives, are nearly perfect.

That's reasonable to not believe me, but can you enlighten me with more samples? If you mean managing pointers in Pascal, you can code in a style of high-level language like JS and never see a pointer to manage, thanks to managed records, objects, strings, and arrays.
And if you are doing low-level stuff that needs getmem, alloc, and pointers, you better know what you are doing with your memory; otherwise, what is the point of writing these low-level codes? speed and control. Furthermore, pointers are typed and managed at compile time, with plenty of hints and warnings to show you the correct behaviour.

I stand by what I said about speed: I've been comparing the resulting code of GCC or Clang and FPC for years, and if you know what you're doing, the resulting speed will be almost the same. Sure, Clang does some quirky things, but at the end of the day, I've never seen a piece of code written by the same person in both languages (the result of one mind with one style of code) that resulted in a different speed. To be fair, GCC or Clang are a step ahead because they are the result of millions of dollars in corporate support, but my response was to emphasize that the speed is not what people remember from decades ago.
As a sample, you can try the Dadroit tool, I linked, I am on the team, and you can compare a result of Pascal with similar tools.

And I agree with you. Don't get me wrong; despite my passionate response about Pascal, I am not saying that Pascal is a one-to-one replacement for new languages; my thesis is that you have most of the cool stuff you hear in this old language too, just without the hype, to encourage people to give it a try and not repeat the old "Pascal is old."
Not in the UK, well at least not in England. "P" (for "just Passed the test") signs are quite common on cars but absolutely no requirement for a newly licensed driver to get one.
The effective latency users see is the maximum of all latencies observed during the session. If your session requires 10 observable requests 1 - 0.95^10 = 40% of users will experience >95%ile latency at some point. There are many considerations (I specifically said "observable" because there are tons of ways to hide latencies to users, and the number of observable requests can greatly vary) but it is never the case that the raw per-request latency equals to the user-visible latency.
I don't think it's Twitter, I think it's the weather/rolling blackouts and the Internet. YouTube has been giving me more problems just loading thumbnails for days, and I'm on fiber.

Obviously people didn’t quit email. But I also don’t “engage” with email with anything near the intensity that I used to. 20 years ago…? One of the hottest romcoms ever, was built around our feverish engagement with email: “You’ve got Mail!” Can you imagine that being a pitch for a romcom next year? They’d laugh you out of the room. Because while people still use email, they don’t engage with it the way they used to.

I think this sense of disengagement is what the author is trying to metaphorically capture with the idea of “logging off”. It might just be my family and peer groups, but I do sense this in general. The internet and its various “social” constructs feel more and more like they’ve crossed that line in dating relationships where the other person becomes “clingy/needy” and it starts to grow wearisome and cringy. I think that causes people to quietly disengage.
Major hub getting impacted is less of an issue. Either the planes and crews are stuck there, you cancel flights and send them home. Or they fly to nearest available location and wait until they can get back to the hub.

I'm not saying this to disagree with you, but to agree. It should be the norm that people the age of Congressman Beyer and myself can contribute, just like anyone else.
