Technically, breaking a contract is not illegal. But a broken contract is evidence that can be used to sue someone for a crime.

If our contract was "you pay me $50 every month for a year and I give you service in return", and you don't pay me, I can sue you for fraud and use the contract as evidence.

But if our contract was "you must say 'Hail, Emperor!' every time you see me", and you break that contract, there is no law that enforces that.
Not only that, but a lot of the suggestions seem to ignore the "good scientific backing" part of OP's question. For example, omega-3 has been mentioned several times, but if you look at any of the sources that more responsible commenters have linked to it's clearly on the "slight" to "none" side evidence-wise. I have no opinion on omega-3 personally. It's fine if people take it. It's just not an answer to the question that was posed.
The thread is about new cryptographic research. Or it was, and should be.
Do you have the right in your jurisdiction to request the data that data brokers have collected on you? If yes, and you haven't already, you may be surprised to the extent they have been able to track you in spite of your counter-measures.

I used CCPA to get this data from brokers. I am far more careful than most in my attempts to keep from being tracked, but perhaps not as careful as you. The dossiers contained data that went back to when I was 7 years old. The most surprising item was data that could only have come from a print shop (from fake joke business cards printed there, but never handed out).
My house has a large air volume, the 2nd floor is half as big as the first, so half the first floor has 20 foot ceilings. I don't monitor NO2, but do monitor PM2.5 and CO2. I see no difference in PM2.5, but do see my baseline of 550-650 CO2 bump to 1500 with significant gas stove usage. The CO2 spreads quickly, my basement and bedroom sensors follow the 1st floor pretty quickly.

If people want a air quality sensor that can upload data to the cloud (by default) or your local graphana, including source for an exporter, I'd check out airthings, their units are basically turnkey and can, but don't require) use a cloud.

I'm definitely shopping for an induction stove soon.
I wouldn't call it loyalty. To me the only thing that counts is if someone is going to get in trouble if i don't show up. Any sufficiently large company wont feel pain of any kind, its just business as usual. Worse case: Someone has to fill a form.
Speaking about LISP and state in the URL, this is how OVH stores the state when you buy a domain from them:

Generally I agree that the issue here is apolitical, that, whomever might want to abuse the ability to buy up/acquire data, whatever tbe villains of the day- there should be checks against this creeping authoritarianism/survelliance-by-the-very-wealthy. Selling consumer data is too alluring & unimpeded.

But it is the least shocking thing I've heard that the Heritage Foundation is behind this effort, & astoundingly unsurprising this very-longstanding forefront-of-conservatism would be confused with the U.S.G.
I am keeping an eye for liquidumping, paniselling to do some opportubuying and speculambing.
I don't dispute that Milton's life growing up was probably tough, but your comment upthread is making specific factual claims (e.g., that he was raped by his sister/siblings), which are to the best of our knowledge not true (because you confused the subject of the thread). We should avoid making false statements.

I didn't read it as political balance, though it's possible they meant it that way. But before I saw your comment I read it as a balance with the other side being "fossil fuels are pretty damn convenient." Like for cooking & heating. No use trying to ignore that, I mean it's not like people burn them to punish themselves. It's a trade-off. And since you said "Portland" my confidence drops from 92% (nationwide average) to 86%, i.e. still pretty confident, that you own a car, so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
i was in a lab at college when an EE major friend of mine accidentally shorted 36v from three very very large high capacity 12v electric car batteries (this was in the late 90s, they weighed about 50lbs each) to the frame of a ground rover robot. It instantly welded the vice grips to the frame and then after about 3 seconds both ends of the vice grips blew off breaking the circuit. i hate dealing with electricity.
> I can share a makefile with confidence that any Linux/Mac OS/BSD user can use it without needing additional software

Makefile portability can be tricky. Especially if you try to do something fancy with the makefiles.

GNU Make has features and syntax that the other Makes don’t. Likewise there are features and syntax that some Make programs have that GNU Make doesn’t.
Great for complex apps in the browser and sharing complex save states!

Bad for ordinary, mundane web applications and sharable URLs!

Like, great for a musical step sequencer in the browser, bad for a website or HTTP service

OTOH, app state on websites of commercial service prodivders might be best represented by a JSON blob anyway.

In something like a checkout process or form submit, of course this doesn't matter much.

But I prefer human-readable URLs wherever possible.

And I implemented a similar pattern once, too.

It's a very interesting approach in intself.

Relevant POJO state tends to be small enough but long lists or resourcrs in a URL are not supported by most servers and not advisable.
This is cool but if you haven't already, check out what Three.js can do in the browser: https://codesandbox.io/s/lxvqek?file=/src/App.js

There are a few reasons people prefer gas:
- heat output
- heat distribution
- responsiveness to inputs
- durability/ease of cleaning

I'm in the same boat and have found glass top actually produces more heat than a previous gas range. This isn't surprising at all numerically but people seem to automatically assume gas ranges are hotter even though you can literally just compare the numbers. Distribution is roughly the same or even better - gas tends to heat in a ring (where the flames are) whereas my glass top electric heats the entire circle. This is true even for wok cooking (although I have a flat-bottomed wok).

Responsiveness to inputs is a real problem, there's a significant lag to temperature changes. Although, this is already something every cook has to deal with - different pans heat at different rates, and the amount of food in the pan is a factor too. You kind of just learn to account for it.

Surprisingly the last point has been the worst for me - I'm always worried about putting pans down softly, and still have a few scratches. Cleaning is really easy for stuff that will wipe off, and near impossible for everything else. Spills with sugar/starch content need to be cleaned immediately or they'll be burned in forever. You can sort of scrape stuff off with a razor blade but you risk scratching the surface. I'm not sure why, given that glass ought to be harder than metal, but it happens nonetheless. With older coil/gas stoves you had drip pans or could line underneath the hob with foil, and just throw the foil away when it got dirty.

But cooking-wise, no issues.
i've really come full circle on the whole housing thing. At first I hated leaky old buildings, looked into passivehaus standard etc, wanting to minimising all air leakage. then I read about the NYC's oversized steam powered heater that allowed you to open windows during winter to achieve proper air change per hour during Spanish flu.

Later on I looked into ERV systems for ventilation, which threw me down path of looking at dew point as when introducing a lot of outside air, humidity becomes an issue. now I'm convinced plenty of older buildings actually considered a lot of these things, I saw many cottages in NZ angled properly to receive the ideal amount of solar gains in different seasons which naturally ventilated and are pleasing to be in. very rare, but they do exist, and as result only a very small heatpump is required to minimally push the comfort envelope one way or another.

I guess what I am saying is don't fight the nature if you can, and architecture it properly. failing that, airtight + mechanical ventilation is going to be expensive and probably impossible to hit good air quality (6ACH+)...
Ouch, in a national chain, potential video, potential payment trail... it's too bad that (in my admittedly limited experience), these sorts of things are almost never pursued, because to your point - there's no disincentive to the perpetrators to stop.
Relatedly, I would really like to have the opposite: a tiny x86 board that fits in a USB port (for my M1 Mac). It turns out that despite Rosetta 2, full-system emulation of x86 on M1 is still quite crappy, and it'd be great to have a full-blown Linux machine at hand.

I experimented with an x86-based ZenPhone...works OK, but that particular CPU was missing some SSE features that I need for my testing.

Anyone know of a something in this vein for x86?
Wow, I already have kind of a habit of bringing some of my water in a hard-sided bottle, but I think it'll be a policy now.
Meta is hardly the only the first tech company to rescind offers.

IQs are normalized by country. For example, Canadians are culturally similar enough to take the US test (including some US-specific general knowledge questions and mathematical notation) but score higher on average due to a variety of social factors.

The score is then adjusted downwards so that the median Canadian IQ is set at 100.

All good information listed here. Also know that most hospitals, especially larger ones, have a medical library / librarian who can help you and provide access to paywalled journals, books, and resources.
I don’t know, at some point, you are responsible for who you work for and the kind of person you want to be.

I’m not surprised to see large soulless corporations acting like large soulless corporations but my preferred solution to this problem is not to become cynical but to go work with people who have some values.

is it humid where you are? I'd love to have ERV but I'm in Auckland, NZ where dew point is bit of an issue and house sized dehumidifier isn't common as weather's temperate and heatpump only really caught on in the last decade or so. central air not common.

You're either off-grid or you're on-grid. If you want to be reached you have to be on.
I'm curious what your diet consists of? And how many people you know of in Western society that have been diagnosed with "protein deficiency". I'd wager a guess that the answer is zero.

I don't eat red/white meat and I fulfill daily protein intake easily for my activity levels while staying under 2k cals. My diet is mostly fruits, veggies, nuts for lunch (sometimes cheeses, beans/lentils). If you think meat is where it's at for protein you'd be way off base. Red meat barely makes it into the top 10 if you're generalizing foods. At that rate you're well over 3k calories by eating nutritionally boring foods (spoiler: meat isn't very well rounded).

Finally it's very easy to overestimate working out. But most people who are actually into fitness can also calculate where and how to get their protein correctly as well and know where it's most beneficial, for them, to get it from. I can tell you hardcore "gym bros" aren't all focusing on meat.

Unintentional side-effect of faster internet speeds: even more bloated app-sites. One wonders if average page sizes are going to start reaching hundreds of MB or even exceed 1GB more quickly.
Long term it would not be good. I think his market has primarily shifted to WSB bros and other crypto libertarians and anyone else that doesn't care what he does.
Agree with it all. Although I'll add that I miss charring vegies over the naked flame, as well.
It's also technically illegal and although extremely difficult to prove doing it as a policy probably doesn't make strict economic sense when you factor it litigation and reputational risk.

I think that was laziness or shorthand. It's not inherently boring but it's a highly specialized instrument within a specific ethnic music tradition. It's fairly opaque and difficult to evaluate what is "good" within that tradition if you were raised without exposure to it.

A lot of the musical interest in organ music comes from either its contrasting strengths compared to other western art music instruments, or nuanced harmonic relationships specific to the theory of the music tradition it's embedded in.

Organ music tends to be for organ nerds, basically. It's not that it's bad or boring, but what's exciting about it isn't something you can easily pick up just by listening to organ music.
There is a an objective risk of building on top of somebody else's platform. However, that does not mean that the business model is not sound, but that perhaps the execution may be limited in terms of how big it can get. (Kagi's aspiration was never to be a Google killer [1]).

Companies are built on top of other platforms all the time. TikTok is building on top of iOS and Android. Zynga made first $1bn building on top of Facebook platform. Honey a chrome extension was acquired for $4bn. Those are all businesses building on top of somebody elses platform.

In terms of Google's motiviation to suffocate it, even if Kagi had 10 million customers, it would be a drop in the sea for Google. And Kagi's very existence helps Google with monopoly issues so it is hard to see why would Google want to openly suffocate it. Even if it did, there are plenty of other search indexes out there (Bing, Yandex, Mojeek...) that Kagi can source. What users love about Kagi is not just the quality of search but innovative search features that are independent of results.

What matters at the end of the day, is that Kagi is already serving thousands of paying customers, they love the product and if anything that is the validation that a business model is working.

Yes, but even if Apple fixes it, you still have to deal with old devices. Better have something that works everywhere rather than "this website is optimized for IE/Chrome".

> which has traditionally (n=8) been a reliable indicator of an upcoming recession.

No, yield curve inversions have preceded each of the last 8 recessions (9 if you count 20-year to 3-month inversion), they've also occurred multiple times in that period without recessions before the inversion resolved, so they are not a reliable indicator of recessions (their absence is, by that history, a reliable indicator of not-recession, though).
In my experience, new builds have very decent insulation, which works well during Winter. But they are an absolute nightmare during Summer.

British Summers are not so cool anymore. New regulations should account for this. My previous neighbor had a heat shock because her bedroom stayed over 33 C for a few nights in a row.
> also, is it pushing the limits of marketing to say you have a fiber connection if the cable coming into your home is actually coax?

This kind of bullshit is standard practice in the UK too. Pretty much every internet connection you can buy here is "fibre", but in reality most of it will end up being DSL.

Thanks, I'll add that to the list.
That's because it's an art movie.
Thank you for this. I was in this exact position once, where a better offer came along just after I had accepted. Honestly, if the original company had matched (or gotten very close to) the better offer I would have still gone there since it wouldn't have required moving. But it was so much higher that I knew it was basically not going to happen. I felt guilty about that for a while. But going to the company I did turned out great for me, and if I was in that position again I'd do the same thing.
Yeah. It's burden shifting. It should really be called "weak fraud controls." When one withdraws cash the bank is liable for unauthorized withdrawals so they use 2FA (debit card + PIN) and for larger amounts they check two forms of ID.

It’s hard to guess. Big Tech has been riding high for a very long time in an environment saturated with cheap money. Still despite multiple crisis the rest of the economy is not doing so bad and reshoring has put manufacturing back into the limelight. We might see something more akin to a rebalance rather than a full on crash.
I discovered when I hit a similar issue, that just putting a "-" character every 40 or so characters resolved the iMessage parsing issue. There may be a max URL length, but I hit it much sooner without the hyphens.
That article claims the stove is leaking ~1% of its burned fuel. Which seems really unlikely, and deeper in they seem to claim its largely from the ignition cycle. Which is still _really_ hard to believe even on my old stove which generally takes a few arc's before there is enough gas near the spark igniter to catch.

Even if you assume that 100% of the gas loss in the time between when I turn it on, and it goes whoosh and burns all that fuel is wasted (say up to a full second) I would then have to leave the stove on for less than 100 seconds at full blast or double that if I turn the flow down by 1/2 for that gas to equal 1% of the gas used during the cycle.

Anyway, compared with the volume of methane in human flatulence, I would be worried more about how good the bathroom ventilation is than how much of unburnt methane manages to avoid being burned and also sucked out the fume hood.

So, I too am skeptical about these home air sensors, I have one of the egg ones, that claims to measure PPM (CO2/etc). Yet it was spiking every morning, and at first I thought it was my wife putting on perfume, but it happens even when she isn't home in the morning... After watching it and what happens in my house, I suspect its largely measuring the humidity in the air from the shower.

Doing nothing but turning the shower on causes it to spike a few mins later and then gradually go down for the rest of the day. I guess I didn't think that the majority of the PPM "pollution" in my house is actually just water droplets. Thats a lot different than all the fly-ash or whatever they want you to think is the problem. (edit: just to be clear, I'm not denying indoor pollution, only that the sensor I have, while marketed as such, isn't actually measuring pollution if most of what its measuring is mist from the showerhead).
> 37000 people die each year in vehicular accidents, but somehow people think there's a benefit to using cars, and to use them without making them 3X as expensive just to save perhaps half of those lives.

And each of those crashes is a tragedy. Surely you know that there are also efforts to make streets safer, and that other countries have been vastly more successful at it than the US?

Traffic crashes were until very recently the leading cause of death among young people, and are still #2. We shouldn't just overlook that either!
