> Apparently you have no opinion, you just want to refute mine.

I do have a point, you just don't like it. The point is thus: Europe spies on their allies and enemies just as much as the United States does.

> You won't find anything comparable on any other country. And the fact that every nation has secret services means nothing.

I think you may have forgotten that Russia exists.

> By the way you realize that other countries being bad doesn't make the US any better?

I never said it does. I said that spying on other countries isn't the deciding factor.
What do you mean by "Europe lags behind in technological innovation"? Do you have any data to back that up? US Big Tech is going well thanks to near monopoly on online advertising, and as a result can afford spending ridiculous amount of money on anything, but I'm not sure I'd call that technological innovation.
Yes if you are already dead.
Lowe's takes them. Look near exits post-checkout (weird place for them).

CVS apparently does too but none of the employees ever seem to know anything about it.
"Also, I'm going to do everything I can to stop you from 'making something wonderful' with my own company's products. It was irresponsible for Heathkit to put high-voltage electronic equipment into the hands of the common folk. Someone could get shocked, or burn themselves with a soldering iron. And those Heathkit people didn't even bother to invent proprietary screws, so any kid with a quarter-inch nutdriver could take the cover off and get a face full of X-rays. No, not for us."
Say you want to build a dashboard with charts and custom timerange selection using data you already have in Postgres/other DB, without killing your DB under the pressure of queries AND without having to write an additional API?

Cube.js is the tool for that. Handles data modeling (you can define a schema on top of your SQL schema), caching, access control and API for you.

Is this inherent to the concept of regulation or is it a consequence of removing many of the guardrails that prevent wealthy interests from influencing legislation?
The problem with teen girls is very likely social media. The focus on them is because the problem is pretty stark and takes off nicely coincident with facebook.

But its interesting that you'd use all the redpill tropes that men have been getting fed by social media to passive aggressively point out that men suffer from the same problems too. You're both explicitly and implicitly arguing the point that men suffer as well.

It is just more difficult to track grown men because right wing radio has been making them miserable for decades, so there hasn't been a stark change in the past 15 years or so.

In other words, I agree men are being made miserable by social media, because you sound miserable.

Are you saying that someone with mental health problems not killing themselves is any less worthy a cause than treating someone with cancer?

My step-father has paranoid schizophrenia. He didn't ask to be born with it, but if it weren't for the NHS, he would be dead. That's a fact.

Equally, he couldn't afford nor access appropriate services in his home country of Canada, and ended up homeless on the street for years on end, and ended up with a criminal record because of his untreated paranoid schizophrenia, which meant he negatively impacted others.

I've been suicidal myself at times. I have a friend being treated for cancer currently, I've had family members treated for cancer in old age. A life is a life.

The problem is inadequate funding, not anybody other than cancer patients trying to not kill themselves. The problem is the elected party spaffing countless hundreds of billions on failed projects that are completely irrelevant to cancer treatment or the NHS. The problem is not increasing salaries relative to inflation or paying them what they're worth. The problem is not people seeking therapy.
Cloudflare's R2 costs $0.36 per million read operations (after the 10 million you get for free) [1]. Vercel is wrapping R2 and is charging $2 per million reads [2]. They're also charging $0.15/GB for egress (after the 1GB you get free), when R2 charges nothing, and the storage cost is doubled from $0.015/GB on R2 to $0.03/GB on Vercel. That's quite the cost increase for the DX improvement.

What good is all this super reliable gold-standard encryption when its provider has shown to be so incredibly careless with the exact sort of information this solution is meant to protect?

Whatever security goals they claim to pursue exist only in their marketing copy.
I'm currently developing my own monitor based on Sensirion SCD40(CO2/temperature/humidity) and Plantower PMS7003(PM2.5). The SCD40 is lot smaller than any NDIR sensor, but with the same accuracy[1].

My goal is to get a cheap (~$50) sensor in a small package that I can put in every room in my house. It will be modular so I skip the display and the PM2.5 sensor and it can be cheap as ~$25

Also the same act that makes cruise ship itineraries sometimes weirder and maybe more expensive than they need to be, because the Jones Act applies to passenger travel as well as cargo.

(Cruise ships can't just do Florida to Puerto Rico to Florida nor California to Hawaii to California, for two instances, unless they are US flagged and most of the cruise ship companies are not US flagged. To be fair, the company flags that aren't historic like Holland America's actual Dutch origins are mostly tax dodges, but the Jones Act isn't the best way to discourage tax dodgers.)

Epstein's Tangled Web
Not so easy to condemm.

I watched a documentary about "realdolls" - it is a company that makes realistic silicon mannequins that can be used to have sex with.

Initially I thought it was creepy and distributing how they dressed the dolls and spoke to it but as they interviewed customers it came across that some of these men (besides the fetish/creepy ones) are just lonely and incapable of forming relationships.

Why not as long there is no harm to others ???.

lol, why would I slander myself? If avoiding cognitive dissonance is my goal, it would be far easier to just accept uncritically any dumb thing against the church than to have to defend the truth.

This is the type of black and white response that I find so common with ex-mormons. If somebody pushes back on disinformation (even easily disproved like the above thing about keeping caffeine teachings secret), the superstitious thinking kicks in and excuses fly (like "they must be a secret apologist" which I heard recently). It's every bit as ridiculous as the believers are when they dismiss inconvenient facts like Zelph the White Lamanite[1][2] because it goes against their preferred narrative. It's superstitious thinking.

Is this tool kind of useless ? I tried to find all documentation on the website but find no way to embed the dashboard inside my Nextjs application. Or atleast, exposing a metrics as API to be consumed directly from frontend.
> You’re welcome to fork it and try to sell it if you think that’s such a great idea.

Emphasis mine. Are you implying the OP shouldn't raise these ideas? Have you ever had a complaint about a user interface in your car? You are, after all, free to build your own and design it how you like. They saw something they thought could be improved, provided a rational explanation of why they think a change should at least be considered, and did so in a manner that's very respectful of both the software and the people who developed it. So this comment feels more than a little...reductive to me. Moreover, I don't read their commentary as suggesting the software shouldn't be free, merely that its price tag shouldn't be the loudest and most prominent selling point. It's a well-known psychological phenomenon that people want things they think are valuable, so putting a $5 sign on the furniture you're trying to give away makes it more likely to go.

Baby boomers outnumber other generations, and they successfully used their numbers to bend our political systems to benefit themselves at as they progressed through life.

Which I suppose is fine, that's democracy. But as they reach their twilight years and reflect upon the world they're leaving behind, I do hope they take some responsibility for the plights they've created for the younger generations.
My hunch is that the massive layouts across IT sector are caused by GPT suddenly becoming useful and viable. We are approaching times when replacing humans with robots on such scales will trigger a public outcry, so this was the last opportunity to shed away some tens of thousands of organic brains.

I'm Jewish and have a pretty positive (in the standard ways) view of Mormons. Would have considered living in Utah if there were more of a modern orthodox Jewish community there. Can't imagine better neighbors.
Are you arguing that war without modern technology had less civilian casualties ?
The Math Genome Project (TMGP)
TMGP is the future OS and UX of Math. A collaboration platform and marketplace for the formalization of mathematics and theorem proving. Teach, collaborate or compete in your browser in a new gamified experience. More proofs, less tears and equal opportunity for all.

Background and Motivation for TMGP:

The Human Genome Project (1990-2003) was an international collaboration to create a standard and reliable map of the human genome, and became the foundation and catalyst of 21st century discoveries, therapies and preventions of human disease.

In this same spirit and recognition of the need for a unified large-scale approach, The Math Genome Project is standing on the shoulders of the brilliant and passionate mathematicians and computer scientists that have spent decades of grass-roots formalization efforts (such as Coq, Isabelle/HOL, Mizar, Lean, Metamath) to unify, organize, and empower these communities to bring the joy of formal mathematics mainstream.

Built on a modern technology platform for the creation, standardization, synthesis and verification of formal systems, we're doing this by providing a marketplace for creating, learning, teaching and collaboration that enables formal math lovers to monetize their skills and experience and ultimately spend more time doing what they love. What was once a hobby or passion project can become a career or serious side-hustle for lovers of mathematical knowledge. What was once only known to professional mathematicians (or a few experts in an esoteric field), will be accessible and more easily learned by anyone.

Whereas the Human Genome Project was a terminal project with fixed endpoint, the goal of the Math Genome Project is to become the technology platform that underpins and enables humanity to reach the full potential of formalized mathematics (and physics!) indefinitely and become the standard and reliable map of all known mathematics.

There are so many of us with this mindset, if there were usable tools that played well with muscle memory of oldschool adobe workflows the market for new versions of PS in particular and to a lesser extent Illustrator, would fall drastically.
At least by Wikipedia's chosen sources [0], the attempted assassination of Gov. Boggs was linked, via circumstantial evidence, to Joseph's bodyguard, Porter Rockwell (who, even within the "Mormon" Church, is considered a somewhat controversial figure), but the culprit's true identity isn't exactly a settled question.

We're a small (17-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Technical Lead (frontend and data)
- Software Engineer (frontend and fullstack)
- Product Designer
- Product Manager

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

Happy May Day! Here's a Twitter thread [0] that has excerpts/paraphrases from an old Soviet pamphlet called "How Soviet Workers Spend Their Leisure." (rolled up version [1])

You can find a scanned version of the pamphlet here [2]. There were many of these pamphlets published. One day I will scan them and post them. There was one on Waterways & Transport in the USSR, one about Soviet theater, one about the food industry in the USSR, one about light industries of the USSR, and one about the countryside of past and present of the USSR. I think these were a series published in 1939.

Article 119 of the Soviet Constitution:

> ARTICLE 119. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to rest and leisure.

>

> The right to rest and leisure is ensured by the reduction of the working day to seven hours for the overwhelming majority of the workers, the institution of annual vacations with full pay for workers and employees and the provision of a wide network of sanatoria, rest homes and clubs for the accommodation of the working people.

'Sanatoria' being health/medical centers or hospitals.

I feel like Krita is the next best thing after Photoshop, however; the interface really doesn't sit right with me at all. It feels very counter intuitive and I struggle finding what I need. I also don't like that "windows" inside the "main window" isn't really a thing unless you use the software(?) renderer, and even then it's sub-par at best. Like, I want to have 4 or 5 images open and see them all at the same time.

Dex lives in a crowded space but I like it.

It seems to be pragmatic in keeping the type system and the effect system simple (compared to Haskell, Koka).

Comparison to Futhark (in their paper);

"Dex has the benefit of being able to naturally express a parallel and work-
efficient program instead of relying on opaque compiler optimizations"

(I hope that it catches up to Fedora's LLVM version)
When I was growing up in the 90s, I had a few LDS friends. My school had a ton of LDS kids for some reason even though I didn't grow up in an area that's known for them. These kids always described themselves as "mormon". I never heard the term "Latter Day Saints" until much later.

It's not that they aren't supposed to be published or talked about, its that the caffeine thing was never an "edict" in the first place. The edict was no coffee or tea, and culturally that became "no caffeine" because that was a common link between the two. It became a common enough belief among lay-members over the case of many decades that the church in recent years put out a statement clarifying that caffeine is not in fact prohibited or addressed in any way by church doctrine.

Quick search says 1.2kg/kWh theoretical max: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00422...

Each ozone molecule at 48g/mol I think will map to 2/3 of an ammonia molecule at 17g/mol. So you’d get 0.23kg NH3/kWh. And I found a link saying the actual Haber Bosch energy usage requires 26GJ/ton which is 3.6kWh/kg or 0.27kg NH3/kWh: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/haber-bosch...

Anybody feel free to check my math. Worth noting actual Ozone yields are supposedly much lower than theoretical maxes at around 12% efficiency (which may require cryo temps and pure oxygen under pressure) bringing yield down to 0.03kg NH3/kWh. Doesn’t seem to take lower electricity in practice considering this is only one energy requirement vs the haber Bosch process counting the full energy input, though maybe it’s less capital intensive. I guess Ozone is deceptively hard to make because the little ozone generators we use as disinfectants require very little actual ozone to do their job.
Not owning the software you use is terrible at any level, but this is much worse than usual.

When I was a kid in, I think it was 1959, my Dad bought me a Heathkit short wave radio. I did much of the soldering myself, with my Dad supervising. The radio worked and for years afterwards, I listened to long wavelength broadcasts from around the world. I had an antenna in our yard that was 30 feet off the ground, and we lived on a hill. I was amazed at what I could receive.
