Any furnace, boiler, etc. which allows any exhaust gas to mix with indoor air is a major risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Which does sometimes happen.

If it's functioning correctly, exhaust gas and indoor air do not directly contact each other at all, they both go on opposite sides of a heat exchanger.
This is not a right-to-repair package. This is loose permission to barely repair anything at all.

> In the agreement, the AFBF says it will encourage “state Farm Bureau organizations to recognize” these commitments and “refrain from introducing, promoting, or supporting federal or state ‘Right to Repair’ legislation.[^1]

Have you heard of anyone trying to reuse these kinds of sensors from dead cameras? Are they too difficult to resurrect and reuse?
It's a bit pricey, but some Dyson fans can measure NO2.
Isn’t the problem that everyone thinks a different interpretation is the “common sense” one?
Everyone opted into tracking, and we can opt out again too. I buy things with cash, and cash purchased prepaid debit gift cards. I do not own a cell phone.

Anyone who wants to track me will have to pay someone to actually follow me around which would cost more than anyone stands to make from the data they would obtain.
He cites his sources (which seem reasonable), is making measurements and has written up objective results it seems.

Perhaps there are other articles less objective on that site but it doesn’t seem like this article should be dismissed out of hand.
I would love to read the rants if you can find them. I was really considering getting some RK3588 based boards since it seems to be the most powerful ARM based SoC you can actually buy.
This, to me, is a profoundly disturbing comment that presumes a level of competence and positive intent within the American criminal justice system that is provably absent.
I run a push pull legs program. Biggest thing I notice is the "pump". It's far easier to get a nice pump going when I have creatine in my system vs not. This definitely aids in forming a mind-muscle connection, and at least in my personal experience a good pump is an indicator you're training properly. Around this time last year I was having trouble finding any, and the difference in my performance was night and day as far as being able to reach progressive overload.
I think the problem is that you have a hard time living in a community with some actors you may not like. That's just life.
By "knowledge", I include any kind of record. Anything. Something different in the universe. Even if nobody actually looked at it, even if it wasn't actually recorded. Not magical human minds indeed; just that the measurement happened. Information created. However we like to word it. English isn't a great language for this. I suspect no language really suits.

Which isn’t very magical in itself.

Well, it's also supremely magical. That's the whole weirdness of it all.
The Remarkable has been a game changer for me (also in academia).

It has no distractions (no mail, messaging, internet, notifications), I can edit stuff with a decently comfortable pen, and it syncs over wifi so I have my notes always with me on my phone if needed. Also the screen is large enough that I read A4 PDFs without zoom or reflow.

I used to print everything and take notes with a fountain pen, now I very rarely do - which is a pity, because I still love my fountain pens.
Excerpt: «Putting 50 GT of CO2 into the atmosphere every year isn’t easy or cheap. Coal, oil, and gas are buried deep underground in ever-diminishing pockets of ever-diminishing quality. By contrast, CO2 is present in air everywhere, and too much of it.»
I believe this is just due to how they're parsing the README.md on https://github.com/casey/just. (Though this should probably still be updated)

The installation section has no direct body, but there are subheaders with the actual instructions.

IIRC it was a a little vague about what Saul of Tarsus actually did to the early Christians. I've heard it argued that Moses killing the Egyptian was an act of faith rather then of murder.

FWIW I think god is not real, just playing devil's advocate.
But why? How many videos are you going to watch at the same time?
I don't recall any NO2 sensor recommendations in particular, and that wouldn't have been a focus during the fires. In general though folks here discussed AirGradient kits. https://www.airgradient.com/open-airgradient/kits/ I bought a stack of them, and I recommend them. The Pro kit at least has extra I2C module spots on the board (one for 3V3 modules, one for 5V modules). They sell a SGP41 module for VOC, and (I didn't know this until I looked at the spec sheet [1] just now) it also supports NO2. The output's apparently an "index" rather than calibrated physical units that you could compare to the threshold/graph in the post though.

(btw: iiuc the "special" thing about the SGP41 module sold by AirGradient as opposed to some Alibaba vendor is that the AirGradient one doesn't come with surface-mounted terminating resistors installed. If you buy one from somewhere else and want to plug it into the AirGradient board, you need to desolder those because the AirGradient's I2C bus is already terminated elsewhere.)

I have an older SGP30. Less luck there; it does VOC and CO2, no NO2.

Combat in 3.5 averages at like, 4 rounds, even for a boss fight. With the 1st, maybe 2nd round, deciding the results of the combat.

Indeed: there are spells (Phantasmal Killer, Baleful Polymorph, Dominate Person, Power Word Kill, Banishment), that ends combat in a singular turn.

You're right in that 4e combat was much slower and purposeful. I'm... neutral to this. I can say that 3.5 / Pathfinder 1.0 combat is unusually brutal... to a non-intuitive degree. 3.5 / Pathfinder 1.0 heavily relies upon resurrection magic in practice due to its unusual brutality.
This is a sensible take that could be applied to almost anything else in life with some exceptions. Do whatever works best for you, but don't generalize much outside of your practical experience.

As someone who _extensively_ uses Makefiles everywhere to speed up things (why bother remembering how to start a server in a particular language when “make serve” will work anywhere), I almost understand why this exists, but then I remember that make is available everywhere and has tab auto completion and I have to wonder why…
Busy Beavers Can Help Ease Drought (2008)
If nearly all choices and utterances are linked to the same database and can be used against you in ways that don't even exist today people will feel a strong chilling effect. We have bankruptcy and privacy laws specifically so the owners of these private ledgers and databases do not entirely control our lives.

The issuer of an universal ID gains gatekeeping power. Besides the danger of people getting excluded, children and marginalized demographics won't have one.

Ironically widespread deployment of an ID can sometimes lead to more fraud. Bureaucracies tend to confuse identification, authentication, and authorization. Possessing a scan of a passport is often accepted as possessing the passport which is accepted as authority to transact with that name. Through the transitive property possessing a hacked .jpg can allow a fraudster to transact as you. When businesses and bureaucracies are not liable for fraud or their errors, they focus on the ID tokens as a way to improve throughput instead of assessing the legitimacy of the transaction in a holistic manner.
I don't understand the correlation between air quality and asthma. In the United States, asthma rates are way up. This article blames at least part of the increase on air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide. But nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the United States are down by 54% since 1990 alone. https://gispub.epa.gov/air/trendsreport/2021/#air_trends It isn't outdoor air pollution that's driving the increase in asthma because outdoor air quality is improving (and has been improving for over 50 years in the United States.

I would imagine that today's natural gas stoves are cleaner than in the past, natural gas appliance don't seem to be driving the increase in asthma either.

My point is that the data isn't clear what is driving the increase in asthma.
Promissory estoppel[0] exists, but is kind of hard to get any money out of it, and depends on the circumstances and state you live in. Note that, in general, if you renege on a job offer after accepting, all that happens is the company blacklists you.

> The big problem is that there's not a single one that everybody agrees to use as the new standard. D&D is the standard. Like Windows. Everybody knows it sucks, but nobody can agree on a single alternative, and the market stays with what people know.

I don't understand why there needs to be "a standard". in the 80's, 90's people played Runequest, Warhammer, GURPS, AD&D, Dark Eye... there was no need for a "standard". No, people are lazy and just want to play what is popular, this isn't a standard. Games rules are half the table top RPG, the stories are as important if not more...

Furthermore, back in the days, people were interested in innovative rules or universes, D&D is none of that, it's the most bland and boring game system...
Makes sense. If it doesn't fall from the sky, you gotta get it somehow.
I've come across this a few times, it seems to cope very well with all the things I'm abusing Make to do. I'm hesitant to add niche tooling requirements to my projects though.

Can anyone comment with their experience using this? (in particular the social ramifications)
A good rough indicator is that the flame on a gas burner should be pure blue. If you see yellow tips, or a yellow flame, it's not getting enough oxygen for complete combustion.
Definitely open the windows and turn the hood fan on before you turn the stove on (preferably one that actually vents outside since inside ones are useless[1,2]) and leave it on until after you turn the stove off.

For clarity - whilst most connectivity infrastructure in London is underground, it's almost always within a primary duct, so running new infrastructure is usually a case of pulling in a new cable as opposed to "ripping up the street".

In fact, anyone approved can use BTs own ducts and poles via their PIA product[1], which has created a resurgent and incredibly active market of "alternative" network providers ("alt nets"). London for example is now well served for broadband by Community Fibre, g.network, Hyperoptic and others alongside the incumbents.

Gas stoves (like everything else) have pros and cons. CO2 emissions are certainly a major con, which is why my next stove will be an induction. I got a gas ten years ago because induction cooktops were not widely available and the cook quality of gas is far higher than non-induction electric, and I cook a lot and really need quality tools.

Facts matter, and it doesn't do anyone any good to paint something as "extremely bad" without balancing all relevant facts. Acknowledging that gas stoves are often (but not always) bad for indoor air quality is part of that.
Genuine question - if I sign an offer with a company, and then renege on it before the start date (e.g., because I got another offer that i like better), do I owe money to the company for some form of money lost?

Not trying to defend Meta, they are gonna be just fine without me arguing in their favor on HN, but isn't this just the other side of the "you can quit any time you want without a warning" coin? Yes, rude and shitty to do, but I feel like it goes both ways, and it is kind of difficult to defend one without defending the other.
They don't call it by name, but the prominent and frequent use of the Bigby's Hand spell seems like a vulnerability. My understanding is that WOTC defends their IP rights to the spells with specific characters' names attached (Tenser's, Bigby's, etc.)
I stumbled upon the Tomu (and hence submitted this story) specifically because I wanted to get my hands on a small/cheap FPGA via the Fomu. Probably picking up the Somu as a Yubikey replacement too. Keep up the awesome work!

The obvious outcome of "Misinformation and hate speech" policing of late. Proponents of things that are synonymous with civilization cannot have any airtime at all.
> In Florida, inmates may no longer receive mail.

This isn't true. You can still send letters to inmates in Florida. The letters are digitized and a copy given to the inmate, rather than the original paper. It seems reasonable to me. Other states have already done similar, but I'm not surprised that Florida gets singled out for the flogging.
I'm not in the market myself, but I would strongly consider buying these evolutions of the Corsi-Rosenthal Box (aka filter taped to a box fan):

HEPA-type air purifiers are increasingly laden with features that add no value, like poor air quality sensors, wifi connections for Alexa/Google assistant, ozone generators that everyone says to disable, bright lights and LED displays, and proprietary filters.

The Clean Air Kits products use commodity parts with as few electronics as necessary, and operate in the way that most people recommend: non-interactively and continuously running at a single speed. They are physically smaller, quieter, and use less power than the other commercial air purifiers.
I think the big issue here is that renters do not get to pick and choose their appliances, so like other types of indoor health hazards this needs top-down regulation to make landlords replace gas with electric.
Vitamin D, K, Fish Oil, Magnesium, Creatine, and Theanine all have lots of research on being effective, with very low risk.

Next up, Curcumin (active Turmeric) and Ashwagandha also have significant research concluding their benefits, but I'd say their risk is one level higher, still small.

I'm wondering how common it is.
Does that actually mean you can use a knock-off v3-like camera? There is no contradiction between an open source driver and the camera having to authenticate against closed-source videocore firmware.
Induction really is better in a lot of important ways (especially if you value your time and cook every day). The only thing I hate to cook on it is wok-style or anything where the pan has to move quickly with fine temperature control. Most of the time, I can blast the rice on max and slide the pan around to similar effect, but it's not ideal and it can "run away" very quickly if food gets stuck.

Aside from the few caveats, I can't imagine going without. Bringing water or oil to temperature is easily 3-5x faster on my 5kW element. Waiting for a semi-direct flame to heat your pot is so primitive by comparison.

Then, there is the cleaning aspect. My induction cooktop takes 15 seconds to wipe down. My last gas range had some parts go through dishwasher, with others getting toothbrush-in-sink treatment. Unless you like cooking on a dirty range, this adds up fast.
I don’t think decoherence is magical, indeed it’s what happens every day all the time such that we never perceive quantum effects in our everyday lives!

You give your cell phone carrier your location at all times, and you consent for them to sell it to anyone they want.

Cell phones providers are private companies, not utilities. You can just choose not to have one.

In another place and time, a similar circumstance is what led Blizzard to unintentionally provide the tools for inspiring the MOBA genre, which spawned League of Legends and DOTA2. That altered games forever. You'll notice few games ship with map editors anymore, and game UGC is very tightly locked down. Blizzard leaders have stated that letting MOBA get away from them was their biggest miss.

D&D is having a similar moment where companies that were built on D&D are becoming bigger than them, and WotC wants to compete more directly now that digital is becoming a priority for TTRPGs. Once you decide to do that, you no longer want to be a platform for your competitor. In a way, this is similar Apple banning apps that directly compete with built-in iOS features. While also an unpopular move, you can hardly blame them.
I thought about doing this when I was a teen. :)

2 weeks may be a bit short, even for somebody who learns quick, but 6-12 weeks should totally do it. And that’s still feasible. It’s not rocket science after all.
You're just "trivializing an incredibly complex moral conundrum" -- by stating someone is "co-opting someone's pain for your own political or ethical brownie points" for having an opposing view point on " an incredibly complex moral conundrum."

Given the rest of what you have written in this thread, your idea of justice comes off as being based in a punitive approach, and it shouldn't be surprising not everyone agrees with that.
Reminds me of a news piece that covered how a popular Muslim app, think it was a simple direction of Mecca, was selling data to brokers who resold it to govts who tracked the people.

Kinda spooky how data is being abused these days, pretty sure religious people aren't the only ones being targeted.

>Comcast now offers vastly higher upload speeds (10mbps -> 100mbps)

I mean, yeah, I guess normally a 10x increase is deemed a good thing and could be considered "vastly higher". Who wouldn't be impressed with a 10x bump in pay?

However, 100mbps is still tragically low. Having anything less than full bandwidth up/down on a fiber line is just cheating the user artificially. Being fiber, I could see offering a cheaper modem because it has a cheaper SFP in it, but even those are dirt cheap now for lowly 1Gbps
Is that a serious question?

Only the justice system can execute someone.

The fines should be to the shareholders. Ownership should be determined recursively to all actual humans. No trusts, no corporate owners, no funds.

A strawman: Maybe proportion of ownership times current assets and all future income. Whatever fraction of their financial being is proportional to their share of the corporation is "dead".

If you have X% ownership share, you are fined X% of all your current assets and X% of all future income.

A message needs to be sent that it's not okay to invest in a company that is doing harm and then walk away from it. You're ethically and morally liable, the law should reflect that.

Walls of text too often come with the monotone recital of that very text. But if you’re lucky, the speaker mixes up the order of bullet points or even forgets one which helps you keep your mind engaged and stay awake.
I'm assuming people who espouse that go through some sort of larger agency or something that can connect you with the work. Otherwise I'd also imagine that ramping up your lead gen again each time could take as much time as the contract itself. In my experience staying active in your network seems like a big part of being a solo/small contractor and isn't really amenable to "going dark" ten months at a time and then trying to jump back in.
JSON5 makers apparently didn’t even know about prototype pollution until this week.
That's the other side - when describing the situation to the incredulous officers my take was (essentially) "The beginning of this scenario likely happens multiple times every single day in this city and it's not about drugs or other criminality". It's a fairly standard situation by college town standards, not some fantastical story or some other scenario that screams "a bad guy ripped off another bad guy". At one point they even said "we just don't understand why you would get in a car with people you just met". It was clear to me the subtext there was "why would you trust /those/ people". Again, sadly, it was clear race was a factor.

In my situation the bar was a corporate national chain in the downtown center with locations in most college towns (at least in my experience). They likely had video surveillance from every angle. The perpetrators may have even paid by credit card, been already known to others there, possibly even the staff, etc. Compared to the situation your friend's brother experienced it seems like there's a decent chance my assailants could be caught. As I said I'd been talking to them for an hour, left with them, etc. Video wouldn't be tough to get.

I often wonder if it was a one-off crime of opportunity or some MO/pattern of theirs. No way to know I suppose but given my case they certainly wouldn't have any reason not to do it again.
