>But it's crazy, right? Using a license designed by a direct business competitor?

Maybe, but a license is just an agreement between two parties on how they can use a copyrighted work. And in the original text, there was no means for WotC to revoke the license from other companies. It would be like if you released software using GPL2, then the GNU project released GPL3 which was much more restrictive, required you to pay rms for any software you release and tried to claim that anything licensed with GPL2 was now licensed with GPL3. You'd think that crazy, and nobody would be asking you why you released software with a license you didn't design.

I think there's a third position, the one I hold:

I've zero interest in LARP'ing or "acting" my role, but also zero interest in crunchy stats-heavy combat. I prefer light adventures with fast paced combat where not every fart is regulated by a chart. A Frostgrave level of complexity is about right for me; or Risus.

I do find narrative experimental games such as Trophy Dark appealing, but they may require too much from players.
This articles is very misleading and makes conclusions based on a low cost sensor that in most cases will give you very wrong absolute readings. I would not trust the results at all. Unfortuntaley all too often, people do air quality measurements and just blindly believe what they see on the display as true figures.

It appears that the monitor in this article is a uHoo meter that can also measure NO2. The uHoo uses the SGX Sensortech MICS-2714 as NO2 sensors. It is a low cost metal oxide sensor and has a couple of significant issues. It is extremely suspectible to interfering gases like CO, Ethanol, Hydrogen, Amonia [1] and also gives highly different results based on humidity and temperature [2]. So just normal temperature and humidity fluctualtions will give greatly different results.

Like other TVOC sensors, often the measurements correlate somehow with the gases but the absolute measurements are often by magnitudes wrong. If absolute measurements -as highlighted in the article- are important than the sensor needs to be calibrated exactly for this environment. This calibration requirement is even mentioned in the official specs [2]:

IS CALIBRATION NEEDED, AND HOW OFTEN?
It depends on the application, and on the required precision. Several factors tend to reduce the measurement accuracy e.g. production dispersion on base resistance (Ro) and sensitivity (S), temperature, humidity, the presence of
interfering gases, ageing of the sensor, and on-time.
Calibration is needed when the required accuracy cannot be obtained due to one or more of the factors listed above. This is the case for most applications where an absolute gas measurement is needed.

This problem with absolute measurements on MOX sensors (most TVOC sensors) has been recognised by the large sensors manufacturers like Sensirion and Bosch and the newer generation of these sensors do NOT provide absolute measurements anymore but an INDEX which defines if air quality is improving or getting worse.

In our open source air quality kits [3], we offer the Sensirion SGP41 as an option which is a much more modern sensor and offers an Index for TVOC and NOx. It still suffers from some of above issues like cross-interference of other gases but at least it does not give false absolute values. It can be very useful for detecting spikes but as outlined above the results need to be really understood with the knowledge of the limitations of these sensors in mind.

The North American colonies belonged to the British Empire from early 17th C. (1607-ish) to the late 18th C. (1783); nearly 200 years.

India was ruled by the British East India Company from 1760-ish to 1858 and by the British Crown directly until 1947; again, nearly 200 years. And by the time the British Empire started to collapse, travel time had been significantly reduced for something like 75 years.
If the state cookie is generated by the server, then the best thing to do is to encrypt all application state cookies, and include an expiration time in them.

Also, consider whether you want to allow the user to share the URI or not. If not, then you need to always check that the user is authenticated as whatever you wrote in the state cookie.

No.

I can get better loan rates due to my great credit, while others who have squandered their credit do not.

Similarly, criminal-coddling cities should be burdened with the higher prices that the outcomes of their voting and governance are known to deliver to them.

Not unlike how SF voters continually elect politicians who tolerate human feces and needles in their streets and get just that. It would not be fair for healthy communities to have human feces and needles spread on their cities out of some misguided sense of fairness or social justice.
Can Experian please just go away. This is just the latest example of where they’ve demonstrated themselves wholly unqualified to be handling the sort of data they handle. This is like elementary level security 101 stuff that they messed up here.

It gets so hot in my small kitchen while cooking that I end up opening the window anyhow. Too bad these days you have people who don't even open their windows in the summertime due to central AC. I'm sure their air quality is poor just from plastic products that the modern home is filled with (including carpet and furniture) offgassing
How does this work in practice, though? I don't know how this would be possible at all. I have loaned money to family members in the past, and been paid back when they were back on their feet. But if a friend or family member borrowed money and never paid it back, even after they were over their financial difficulties, and never mentioned it or made any effort to repay the loan, it would certainly affect my opinion of them; at the very least, I'd expect them to offer some explanation as to why they weren't able or willing to pay me back as we agreed.

So do you actually mean this, or are you just signaling how kind you are?
I agree with you 100 %.

The one thing we as lay people can do to protect ourselves though is to be humble, I.e. Not assume that we are experts and know what the rules are, or that words mean more than they do. It's a little like programming and requires literal frame of mind that doesn't run away. "Perpetual" is a time dimension and doesn't have a "no take backsies" dimension but our mind puts it there :). I see it all the time where people undertake actions or share advice or give instructions based solely on their intuitive sense on how law "should work" or "what makes sense" (while being blissfully unaware of this bias and assumption).

As a personal example I went through a difficult divorce a decade ago. I read up on family law and talked to a lawyer. The divorce was made that much more difficult by my senior family members incessantly and continuously insisting upon things that were catastrophically wrong, but made perfect intuitive common sense to them (e.g. My dad spent 6 months telling me that my wife did not have any rights on the apartment that was in my name and I paid for. But it was marital home and in our jurisdiction she 100% totally absolutely had legal claim upon it. And million things like that).
Should every person that hosts an instance of SourceHut, Gitea, or Forgejo have to opt-in to this? That just doesn't scale at all. Drew is standing up for all independent hosters as much as he is standing up for his own business interests.
Electric stoves used to suck, low powered, annoying, and they made temperature control difficult.

New induction units are more powerful than gas, respond more quickly, and have temperature based controls. So you can blast and boil a quart of water more quickly, or set it to temperature and it will quickly approach it and maintain it, no more melted pots.

With induction the heat (or lack of) is literally inside the pot/pan. So it's already ahead of any combustion outside the pot/pan. Granted not much, but still it's not behind.

Also crazy easier to clean, nice flat surface, and there's not much heat outside the pot/pan to cook stuff on.
an easy way to read golden-age papers (say, 01952–01972) that don't have attention drawn to them today is to look at the other papers in the same issue of the journal that had some well-known paper in it

when i've done this i've found that most of the papers present trivial and wrongheaded approaches, just like most papers today, but they're still a lot more pleasant to read because they're much better written; however, it's much slower going because the terminology is pretty alien

they also have much shorter lists of references but of course they didn't have bibtex
Also bragging in 2023 that your shiny new protocol has PFS really emphasizes that this is not a great PR strategy. Being dismissive of security research because you finally got around to implementing some cryptography principles that have been considered table stakes for a while now, especially if the research was part of what motivated your changes, is incredibly not confidence inspiring.
The fact that people routinely fail to see obvious deleterious repercussions of their actions doesn't mean that they fail to see all obvious deleterious repercussions of their actions. If you routinely lay people off before their vesting cliffs, you'd have to pay them more up-front (also you would probably get into legal trouble). Penny-pinchers are very keen on not paying people more up-front (including paying more lawyers). The fact that people routinely miss implications that seem just as obvious that this one does not oblige them not to notice this one.
Another way of looking at is that 22 years ago he did a terrible thing that he thought he would never do and has regretted ever since. This does not absolve him of shit, but:

We then collectively, as a society, took 22 years to murder him back.

Are we going to claim we did it as a mistake? Is ours a crime of passion? What excuse do we have for our violence? "He did it first"?

So I find it hard to reconcile that we are living in modern, democratic, freedom-loving countries, and the best we could come up with in response to murder was more murder.

When we kill inmates, we torture them for decades with the knowledge that they will be murdered for their crimes and it will hurt. We deprive them of all freedom in the meantime. Decades of knowing that society as a whole hates you so much that they locked you away out of sight and want your blood. We then surround them with the most violent people we have in society, and offer them little protection from each other.

And then finally, one day, if they survive the ordeal, we kill them and call it justice. That's what I have a hard time reconciling.
Opposite happened to me. There’d been a performance of the Messiah in our church on Saturday night. I played for the main Communion service the next morning and everything was fine until the (quiet) Agnus Dei setting. Punched the General as per usual, started to play, and the Solo Posaune blared out. I almost fell off the bench with shock.
So what some but not all have indicated is that if there is consideration, it goes from a license to a license contract which negates the default revocability of a regular license. The OGL v1.0a and precedents around some open source licenses (Jacobsen vs Katzer, for the Artistic License) indicate that licensing your own work under the same terms counts as consideration.

Others have indicated there may be a detrimental reliance (US) or promissory estoppel (EU) case against Wizards to change the license at this point given they have made public statements on the record about the non-revocability of the OGL v1.0a and have allowed the current OGL ecosystem to exist under that assumption for 23 years.

The third situation is that neither of the above matter, which is a problem for the software industry as plenty of open source licenses (GPLv2, BSD, MIT, Apache 1.1) have the exact same omission of "irrevocable".
I think for a single spell there's fairly little you'd need to modify (just the actual text of the description, and changing unique names). Not even changing damage dice.

The problem is making a whole spellbook with a one-to-one correspondence to WoTC's spellbook, even if each of those entries has been modified. The spellbook is more than just a bunch of separate spells - it's a collection carefully designed for balanced gameplay and has protection in itself. See [1] for one way that "compilations" can be treated as having more rights.

The EU also allows copyright of databases [2], and I think the spell list meets the criteria.

And don't forget you'd also be doing the same thing with races, classes, equipment, monsters, conditions, deities, feats, blah blah blah. Put together I think it's pretty likely to be infringing somewhere! Certainly enough that a lawsuit isn't getting dismissed.

Unless you are willing to stop cooking, comparing indoor pollution while cooking with a gas stove versus when not cooking with anything is dumb.

Comparing indoor pollution while cooking with a gas stove versus an electric stove makes sense.

Yes, I suspect electric is cleaner than gas, how much cleaner is what's important.
Indeed, but how is that number calculated? The output of an algorithm is only as good as the data you choose to incorporate into it. I think the picture is painted rosier than it is, but also I think we have ample room to fall still.

> the actual ground is really not that attractive to household electricity, mostly just to lightning

I assume that's because it doesn't form a complete circuit with the electrical substation your power is coming from -- though some power is delivered, perhaps does due to capacitance between the ground and the distribution lines.

Note it would be completely different if your power service used single-wire earth return (SWER)[0].

Does the bottom of the pan really not go above 500-600F on an induction stove? Seems quite cold compared to gas. Or is the silicone particularly heat resistant?
That's the thing, based on my experience living in different countries like France as described above or in Japan for a few years (where I was systematically rejected for credit cards when my ex who was a student with significantly less income than me was approved), I find that having third parties as intermediate setup a reporting credit system with clear rules like the US is so much better.

The US system has issues but it's less broken than every other countries I've lived in.
For me, an android tablet (Nokia T20) works the best. Owned a cheap Lenovo tablet (~$50) before this.

I have tried printing. But I tend to lose and forget to take stuff. Keeping all papers (and also books) in one place works the best.

It has a large screen. I write with a cheap "stylus".

As per apps, I use "PDF and DJVU Reader", the pro version of Ebookdroid.

I have Mega Sync set up on it and it syncs everything with my work laptop.

I once used a friend's Remarkable. The touch between pen and screen wasn’t smooth enough and gave me an extremely uncomfortable feeling of chalk-screech. I am very sensitive about it, and I use fountain pens on real paper.

You're skipping the part where Google grew because they were opening new channels for growth - YouTube was only a few years old and growing, in 2008 Android had just been released and DoubleClick had just been bought. Now their growth depends on extracting more from their advertisers, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
You can think that, but I don't agree.

When entire stores pop up around products which, the majority they're selling have labeling highlighting protein content, it's not marketing? And if some, or many, of those products are filling said products with low quality / cheap protein that's not a gimmick? Not all protein is the same. I'd say there's plenty of marketing gimmicks around protein.

Case in point... Check out GNC's website. Open the source. As of writing this, on the front page, protein is called out 98 times. Fiber? 4. Nutrition? 6.

Search products on their site... When searching for protein it shows 1004 products. Fiber? 31. Nutrition? 304.

I'm sure that the Ghost Whey Protein powder [0] that tastes like Chips Ahoy cookies - isn't a gimmick at all. But, what do I know?

Feel free to share with me any studies highlighting the rampant protein deficiency epidemic in the west. I'd love to read them.

Huh. Ikea's got one—and only one—induction option, for $1,400, in the US. A couple cheap "portable cooktops" ($70!) but only one range, and it's not cheap, though that is cheaper than what I was seeing last I checked.

[EDIT] Nebraska Furniture Mart, which has a much bigger selection than Ikea:

Cheapest induction range: $1,493 (sale price, claims full retail is more than $800 higher)

Cheapest gas range: $529 (also a sale price, claims full retail is $139 higher)
Looking at QQQs growth on a longer term chart is nothing short of staggering. I do feel a price correction is due. We saw it with Tesla and so too do I think we'll see it with QQQ.

The major problem with resistive stoves is that they take a relatively long time to warm up and cool down.
> Banks work a bit differently, btw, they should also have more $ assets than liabilities, but there's generally no direct 1:1 link as described above.

The total difference between assets and liabilities is the common stock (equity). This also shows why it's a very bad thing when the stock of a bank goes to zero, it means some liability will not be covered and thus the bank can be considered bankrupt. I'm simplifying here.

From this point we can take a history tour to the 2008 meltdown, when we had this situation everywhere: bank A would short the common stock bank B because bank A had a lot of assets in bank B (which show up in bank B as liabilities). Bank B did the same thing to bank A for the same reasons. This is not as stupid as it sounds, because banks are not the only players in capital markets, using those shorts they essentially spread the default risk all over the equity markets. While this whole clusterfuck of nobody-trusts-nobody is going on the SEC comes out all of a sudden and bans the short sale of bank stocks, because shorting is evil or something. Imagine how much that made things worse after the only way to hedge entire banks going under was suddenly removed.
It would increase the supply and variety of available induction models, since there would be so much new market to capture, thus driving down price of induction ranges.
This is such a foolish way of looking at public order. The point is not whether murder is wrong or whether punishing is wrong, because after all we are not children arguing about right and wrong. Rather, we need a public that is free of murderers and so when people engage in antisocial behavior we remove them from the public. We don't remove someone for X years because we think they "deserve" to be removed for X years -- we remove them for X years because that's how it takes them to age out of being prone to commit acts of more violence.

It is about keeping society going. The moment you start getting into debates about right and wrong, you prove that you have no interest in keeping society going and are instead focused on making yourself feel good by making various philosophical pronouncements which are ultimately quite arbitrary. But what is not arbitrary is whether people can walk the streets safely at night or not. Do we live in a peaceful society or do we live in a society in which the wealthy barricade themselves in and hire private security while the poor are left to fend for themselves? That's what matters, and it's all that matters, because public justice is not an ethics class, it's a class about how to create safe streets so that society can continue to function in peace.

The moment you stop caring about how to create a peaceful society, what you get is a violent society that eventually disintegrates into warring clans and someone will rise to the top who can promise order, and he will not care a bit about your philosophical debates. And the people will support him, because not worrying about being attacked as you walk about the city is a required part of having cities in the first place. And we want cities, we want high density living in which strangers can interact with each other without violence -- we want civilization. Therefore we adopt policies that defend that civilization independent of any musings about who has the right to take a life or imprison someone and what that means for someone's soul, etc. It is only those people who take it for granted that they are living in a peaceful society, who are able to engage in these musings about what is right and wrong. But God help the society that takes them seriously or listens to their advice.

Compare pollution while not cooking versus cooking with gas is the opposition of rational thinking.

Probably even running an electric toaster will have an impact, especially if it hasn't been cleaned out (which is likely).
