What do you mean? I can take my plastic bottles back to the seller to get 10 cents per bottle back on the purchase (that's what it was when I was a kid, a non-trivial amount back then), and the bottle will be cleaned and reused without grinding the? Because that's what I meant.

Sending plastic bottles to recycling is pointless and doesn't work, anywhere.

They are trying to correlate materials with biological growth that causes BO in clothes in order to find out if certain types of material or treatments to material could be used to construct activewear that doesn't stink when you sweat in it.

What about the process seems useless to that end?
Consider that everyone experiences being less capable at various points and to various degrees, even in an otherwise healthy life; injured, ill, tired, carrying too many groceries, bad breakup etc.

Designing for accessibility helps everyone. I attended a lecture on the topic and an example I found compelling was curb cuts - a person in a wheelchair makes the need obvious, but they are good to have for a variety of other reasons; pushing something with wheels, hurt ankle, being sick or absolutely ancient etc.

I agree that we don't need to self flagellate or see ourselves as deficient, design is hard after all.

There is actually alot of need. The propositions that Crypto caters for would become worthless if we applied securities laws to them.

trying my best to understand the target audience for this blog post. It feels like most of these things fall somewhere in between "a sysadmin should know this" and "this might be new to a dev without much ops experience". And then, my first thought is, well if you're focused on getting software out the door your best bet is not to touch any of this stuff and deploy on a platform where configuring the Linux distro is not your responsibility. i.e. k8s or AWS ECS
> In Germany for example, homeopathy is covered by their healthcare insurance.

That's not true. Homeopathy in Germany is not part of official coverage. There are some select healthcare providers that refund some homeopathy costs, up to a few hundred euros annually, but the overwhelming majority does not even do that.

I didn't know Digital Ocean before, but it seems like they are more focused on CPU than on disk space. This is bad, since you will need to store some data on the server, if you send any images at all.
We have a matrix-server running for 4 people since maybe 2019 and it's at 60gb disk usage right now.
So in that regard, 10 memers will need at least a 100gb so 24$ a month, but you can get a lot cheaper than that, using some other server hosters, which are more focused on giving you a lot of space instead.

Specs:
The server we use has 4 cores (barely uses 1) and 8 gigs of RAM, 2.5 of which are currently used and 120gb of disk space, that will probably suffice for another 2-3 years.
Etsy accused of 'destroying' sellers by withholding money
Is that supposed to be sarcastic?

If you open that can of worms I think the question will very quickly be whether such an asset class should just be outright banned.

To me it’s still an open question if cryptocurrencies are inherently a (distributed) scam. At least the ones based on proof-of-work.

Both cash and securities are regulated in a way that ties them to the creation or storage of (real-world) value. Proof-of-work cryptocurrencies ties both the creation and trade of the asset with destruction of value (energy). Which inherently makes them toxic. Regulating cryptocurrencies to become non-toxic might make them de-facto illegal.

It's also better for the user.

Do you really want your super important and critical stuff to be handled by code that can be examined and modified on the fly with no damns given with the server completely unaware?

Not to mention server-side code by its nature doesn't execute client-side, which means less end user system resources used and thus less electricity consumed by and billed to the end user.

I think the "writing tons of interfaces" part is just a lack of a sufficiently advanced type system at disposal of the languages they used at the time. If you take Clean Code, for example, the constant plumbing around *old* java deficiencies (at least in the edition I read) would simply not exist in Typescript.

I'm not an expert, but I've discovered there are a number of factors.

We are complex chemical reactions, and our diet, our (gut) bacteria and any viruses, all three of which will affect us, so some of it will be biological, ie chemical response, some of it will be bacterial in and out of the gut, and some could be viral.

Rabies is a virus that creates hydrophobia, an aversion to water, now if someone could create a virus that creates an aversion to food, they would be rich!

Chemicals can also alter what you want to eat, like craving fatty foods or sweet foods, some of which is purely for your bodies needs, and some cravings will be stimulated in part by bacteria.

As will the amounts eaten.

The thing to bear in mind is, even if eating traditional foods, ie home grown meat and veg, the soil type becomes a factor on the size of the food grown beit livestock or veg, as does the environmental factors like the reduction in sulphate aerosols which were contributing to global dimming.

Now the sulphate levels have been reduced, we can now start to see the sunshine reaching the surface of the planet a bit more so we can have warmer soil and sea temperatures aka climate change. That then helps livestock and plant growth provided its not too hot or drought like. Better veg naturally grown without manmade chemicals can be healthier, more nutrient dense.

If you go back even further in Earths history, the concentration of minerals on the land have changed, for example manganese on the land was much much higher some suggest as much as 17% of sample, than it is today because its largely been washed off the land over millennia.

So how much has the human body also evolved? Keeping bacteria down seems to be key though for a longer healthier life as is getting the right chemical intake.

It surprises me that we need an abled person to pretend he's disabled to realize how difficult is to live as a disabled person.

Why we don't just hear what disabled people tell us and trust them? Why do we trust the opinion of an abled person more than the opinion of disabled people?

Don't get me wrong, I liked the article and it can be eye-opening. But it saddens me that sometimes we forget who's actually suffering this situation, and we empathize with a guy that spend only one week pretending to be disabled more than with actually disabled people.

What is your differentiator from Lambda? That you are smaller and in a single DC?

Sincere question.
Yes, this is even more the case in languages that are popular with more "applied" programming audiences, like scientific computing. Telling them "no you should be using this complicated DBMS" (or whatever other acronym) is not productive.

It tends to get them exceptionally mad because their concern isn't the ideal way to write the code and architect the system, they simply want to write just enough code to continue their research, and even if they did care about proper architecture, they don't have the time or interest in learning/testing a new library for every little thing. They'd rather be putting that time reading up on their field of research.

"Some of them did securities offerings, but by the time the SEC noticed they were too entrenched and decentralized and it would have been a pain for the SEC to go after them. Ethereum, most notably, very very clearly did an ICO in 2014, raising about $18.3 million by selling ETH tokens. If they did that today, or in late 2017, the SEC would have some serious questions. But by the time the SEC got around to cracking down on ICOs in 2017, Ethereum was big and decentralized and the SEC would have had a hard time, practically and legally, challenging its 2014 ICO. And so everyone sort of grudgingly concedes that ETH is not a security."
Not a very exciting question, because every business wants to have an "everything app". However Google failed, Microsoft failed, Apple failed. It's unclear why Elon believes he'd succeed, other than pure hope. Given his antics, people are starting to not trust him with cars and starting to turn away from his social media. So "everything" doesn't seem within reach.

I've found that culture is king in terms of governing what's shipped. From day 1 new hires are looking at what their peers are doing, and more importantly what's being tolerated by the manager and the rest of the team.

As an uninvited specific action recommendation: I've made it a habit to look through PR's (merged and unmerged) regularly. I point out opportunities for improvement, and more importantly I call out excellent solutions. The excellence can be in the form of elegance or just hard graft finding a bug. It's a small action that's additive and doesn't interrupt work. But it does wonders at setting the tone.

One thing I've found very hard indeed is if the team you manage is surrounded by peers that "don't give a fuck if what they do works or is of merchantable quality". However, if you reinforce your culture of excellence it becomes resilient to it ... and then the tricky thing becomes avoiding arrogance within the team.

Guide to Using Yubikey for GPG and SSH
Sociopaths, the clueless and losers. This great essay analyzing The Office argues that in a modern business context you're one of the three. [1]

Those "functional elites" you mentioned? Usually they're working 20-50% more for 0-25% percent more pay. They're called the clueless because they've been conned into working more for less, usually under some clever guise like company being family or company values or the promise of a promotion that's always a cycle or two away. The essay then goes on to argue that losers are really just the clueless once they "get it." Losers understand the treadmill and lean into the tedium always aiming to save their time by playing dumb as needed. Sociopaths break out of the cycle by operating only with concern for power and switching up how they talk to folks based on whether they're clueless, losers or fellow sociopaths.

Sociopaths speak in powertalk -- an exchange of information on clear terms. It's usually veiled because the clueless and losers listen in and it makes them feel uncomfortable. If it weren't veiled it would probably sound like lawyer-jargon with lots of plausible deniability, conditions, arguing and explicit shared definitions.

Losers and clueless speak in their own languages based on who they're talking with. It's basically just lots of trying to feel okay... except for when it comes to losers speaking with sociopaths. There the only communication is straight talk, which is basically just direct requests of a master-slave dynamic (i.e. "do this"). The essay is well worth the read!

Yet I can’t drink part of my water bottle to prove that it’s not an explosive.
The benefit of "moisture-wicking" synthetic materials is that they promote evaporative cooling relative to cotton, which tends to retain more water and takes longer to dry. In this experiment they've placed sweaty clothing into sealed bags for 28h before studying them, so that's pretty different than real-world usage.

I will admit, though: if they cook up a fabric that stays fresh after such a torture test it should certainly perform well in the real world.

Doesn't seem that way to me. all you need to do is to file an S-1. The issue is an entirely different one which is obvious when you look at the case studies in the second post.

>"Paragon Coin Inc. (“Paragon”) was a Delaware company that raised $12 million from their 2017 ICO of “PRG Tokens” as part of a scheme to integrate blockchain technology to the cannabis industry."

The "PRG Token" is just a share in the company. This is a security you should only be able to buy on a registered exchange. The business obviously failed because blockchain in the cannabis industry is utterly useless, the company went broke, and the actual plan off selling their worthless tokens on a random internet platform didn't work out. So the SEC literally just did its job.

None of the companies mentioned on that site has anything resembling an actual business model, the point is merely to defraud public investors on opaque exchanges. In every single case the SEC almost certainly prevented harm being done to the public. This article makes an excellent case for maintaining the status quo.
To me the biggest reason is selector specificity, especially when it comes to authoring component libraries. Inline styles written with the style attribute are impossible to override without using !important, which only exacerbates the specificity problem.

Lots. I think one of the only arguments that needs to be made against things like gain-of-function research is this. [1] That's an incomprehensive list various announced biosecurity incidents.

Just since 2000 we've had lab incidents, including leaks, with: anthrax, west nile virus, SARS, COVID (not implying China - there was a confirmed COVID leak in Taiwan), ebola, tuberculosis, dengue, smallpox, zika, polio, and more. And they're happening all throughout the world. That includes the US, China, Russia, Japan, Germany, Australia, UK, South Korea, Hungary, France, Taiwan, Netherlands, and more. Incidents specified as coming from BSL-4 labs include ebola and SARS, though the BSL level is not specified at all for most incidents.

And I would take that is an extremely incomprehensive list given that many incidents are likely going to be tucked away or classified. There's playing with fire, and then there's this... which increasingly more feels like standing around a fire and seeing what happens if you start dumping kerosene into it, all in the name of firefighting - of course.

Is that because alcohol is a magnitude or so more widely used than any of the other (hard) drugs we consider to be harmful?

That article is vague and I don’t think the overall methodology is that good, however it does say:

“ The most harmful drugs to the individual are heroin, crack and crystal meth “

if the same number of people who regularly consume alcohol chose to use crack instead.. well I bet the situation would be a whole lot worse.
