Is it really necessary to "brown" ground meat if you're not going to make it crusty? If you're making tacos or chili, what happens if you just add the spices and liquid and braise the whole thing?

Obviously it would change the timing somewhat, but it should be safe (everything comes to well over minimum temperature). If you didn't mean to make a fond, is there any difference in flavor?
To someone with functioning eyes, this must seem rather difficult. I've noticed that sight is what I like to call a greedy sense, in that if you have this high bandwidth data input it sort of blocks you from being able to pay attention to input from your other senses.

As a blind person who fancies myself as a bit of a cook though, being able to smell, feel, and interact with the food as I'm cooking really does make up for a lot. Also, you just kind of have to get over the initial fear of heat :)

The article mentions this and it's absolutely true: a high-sided pan makes all the difference. I use my 6 qt cast iron Dutch oven for browning meet and this completely avoids spillage.

Also if you ever wondered who buys those weird "smart" kitchen devices, anything with an app is about 15,000 times more useable than the touch surfaces for most modern appliances. It's way easier to set the air fryer or instant pot from the phone, which reminds me I've been meaning to try and reverse engineer the protocol that my Bluetooth instant pot uses before the unmaintained app
is removed from the store.
But can’t employers say there was “no reason” for firing someone organizing? Does participating in that provide short term job protection?
Maybe only in this context for high paid tech jobs at big tech companies. But I doubt that this is possible on the salaries of most other jobs or locations outside big tech. The world outside this bubble is mostly different. Maybe highly paid finance jobs would be another exception

It’s considerably less tiresome and costly to cover long distance in cars.

I noticed that a 500km ride in France is very long distance. A once in a summer thing. While a 350miles trajectory in the us is something I can do with less friction.

Yes/no. COBRA is indeed the law, so yes you will have the option to continue your health plan for awhile (how long can very but > 1 year), but it can be remarkably expensive to do so. Your now paying your portion, the employers portion, +2%. And you've just lost your source of income. For those of us with high paying jobs who have made good financial decisions, this is probably OK for a time. But an extended unemployment, or being in less good financial shape and it can be effectively unaffordable.
Super deceptive title then.
The Instant Pot ecosystem would benefit from open-source firmware, so it can be integrated with Home Assistant and voice controlled systems like Alexa, Siri, Google. The company is under PE management and in bankruptcy, but for the sake of the millions of repairable devices out there, will hopefully find a second wind. If not, perhaps the internal controller can be replaced with a RPi.

This is FUD. I've interacted with the IRS over $50k and it was perfectly fine. They send me a letter with contact details and you just provide them the information.

If you do owe shit, you just go to the IRS.gov site and pay the dumb bill, and the site is perfectly functional and not a PITA to use.

I have no idea why people misrepresent the IRS so much
Oh please as if that would even make it in front of a judge. There is no way to prove that. They can say you're not a culture fit or something. There is no way that can be enforced. There are thousands of pretexts that can be used to justify a lack of promotions.
And this is one big problem I have with C. Too many build systems. And they apparently take enough time to fuss with that people actually discuss them like this?

Other languages have zero or exactly one official one that's built into the language, and you have modules as a first class feature.

Looking at the code you know exactly where something comes from, there's no way for anything to pollute the namespace of anything else without specifically trying, and it all feels like it's actually meant for reuse rather than for building each project from scratch.
a) An ICE car is going 60 mph and brakes to a standstill.

Just read your idea.

Sometimes, I wish that I am a billionaire, so that I could let people using my software for free, completely. And the key point is, they know that it is free, absolutely. Because I am a billionaire, they know.

So, just keep it up. Anything you wrote is not important than the thing you do. Don't let people sink you in their perspective about the world they saw.

Open-source software needs a ton of efforts, tears, bloods. Above of the passion, you know that it should be pay-off, fair-price at least, for you and your people hard-works.

At the end, plan is just a plan. Just go to have a chance to fix it.

Good luck and best wishes!

I'm honestly not sure how much the events of the Crusades really contribute to the contemporary Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Crusades were a rather belated attempt by Christians to reconquer the territories they had lost to Islam – over 400 years after that initial Islamic conquest. They succeeded in the short-term – the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem endured for almost 90 years, and they managed to hang on to the coastal city of Acre (now in Israel's Northern District) for almost another hundred – but were ultimately unsuccessful.

Whereas, the current Israel-Palestine conflict is primarily a Jewish-Muslim conflict, not a Christian-Muslim one. There is a small Christian minority on the Palestinian side, but Palestinian Christians have no particular links to the Crusades; nor do Israeli Jews or Zionism have any particular link to it. Some of the Crusades (especially the First) involved antisemitic pogroms-but there were plenty of other pogroms in European history which had nothing to do with the Crusades, and by the time Zionism came along, other more recent instances of antisemitism were much more of a motivating factor than any of those as historically distant as the Crusades by then were. So, the Crusades were really a rather different historical chapter without much to do with the current one.

No, you should change companies or start your own. I agree though that the current system makes it artificially difficult and that really needs to change.

It's because of monetary policy creating uneven playing fields that favor monopolies and centralization. Companies have an unfair advantage and leverage over employees but it's not hampered by such regulations as discussed here.

These regulations just harm competent people for the benefit of incompetent people. Would a competent person need such laws when they have valuable skills?
> But that doesn't change the fact that current publicly traded companies are legally required to maximize profits to shareholders above other goals.

This is a common belief but it’s a complete falsehood. Business officers are given enormous leeway to make decisions based on their judgment, and it’s exceedingly rare for those to be successfully challenged.

The reason is simple: you can’t predict the future and there isn’t a proven path to success. Maybe you think screwing your workers is good for profits now but bad for the long-term prospects, or vice versa: either way, the CEO will never face a penalty for that call since it falls squarely in the category of judgement and discretion. Everyone knows that sometimes you need to make a gamble - imagine where shareholders would be if Apple had followed the analysts telling them to license Windows or sell Mac OS to PC vendors at various points in the 90s, both things portrayed as safer moves than buying NeXT…
Indeed. It's nice to hear of a person with actual values in this day.

It's not a value unless it costs you something in some possible situation. That's why it is called a value: holding to it comes with costs.

For approximately everybody, "caring about the future climate" is mere virtue signaling and ingroup positioning.
That is an individual one on one decision to terminate employment, which is different from a company wide email telling dozens or hundreds of people that they have "effectively resigned".
Good write-up. What was understated but I appreciate was that this optimization was done late and after being picked up via profiling. For devs there is sometimes a drive to do this kind of work early. It really should always be done late just as in this post.
A device I thought would be cool as a careless cook (not a blind one) which would help here is some kind of rotating tumbler. A bit like a composter but small and made of steel, and rotates itself (could use energy from heat source to assist).

This would allow you to chuck mince, chicken, rice etc. in and have it so no burning occurs. Use a low heat and wait a bit longer.
I’ve also noticed this as well. Diet, lack of sleep, and some OTC headache relief (acetaminophen+nsaid) will increase my perception of tinnitus. Especially if I pull an all nighter, I will need about 1 week for the perception of the sound to return to normal.
Because in this proposed design the motor is the brake rotor, they're the same part. So when you apply the brakes, they get hot, so does the motor. Motors getting hot is not good.
Luma AI's WebGL Gaussian Splatting
I think it's pretty fair to ask the question of "why should I use this?" I don't think it's rude to ask what this offers over other systems languages like Rust, Nim, Zig, or Go. All of those languages have been around for a while now and have some ecosystem and inertia. This language is claiming to bring back the joy of programming but frankly it looks like another c like language. Do we really need that?

It's an impressive project for one person to make but if we're talking about it as a prospective general purpose language, that naturally invites comparisons and criticism. I haven't read the comments but I think most people have good intentions when they share their view on this project and aren't personally attacking the author.

There's an Android cellphone (with replaceable battery!) for the blind market, which includes NFC and the WayAround app for reading their NFC tags, which are designed for attaching to food items in fridge/freezer/cupboard, clothes (laundry ready buttons) and more.

https://blindshellusa.com/blindshell-classic-2-collection & https://www.wayaround.com/blindshell/

WayAround NFC tags are designed for vision impairment use cases, https://www.wayaround.com/shop/?swoof=1&orderby=popularity&p...

Generic NFC tags can be rewritten to work with WayAround, https://store.gototags.com/nfc-tags/nfc-tokens/?product_list... & https://old.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/txc1du/whats_the_adv...

> You can copy a Wayaround tag onto a generic tag and it will operate on the Wayaround app same way. HOWEVER, you cannot just use generic tags freely. The tag does not really hold the information you "write" to it. It just has a serial number that it looks up on your account when you read it. I copied a blank Wayaround tag to a generic one, then had the app set that tag as Artwork, Statue of Cthulhu. Both tags now respond with that same result.

On iOS, NFC tags can be used to trigger user-scripted Shortcuts that speak audio or take other scripted actions when the iPhone is tapped on a tag. Requires Lockdown mode and Airplane mode to be disabled. No app necessary. For a quick demo, some public transit passes are NFC and readable by iPhone. Even if the pass is expired, the NFC identity function can be used indefinitely.

> pokemon is a game where you can win but you can not lose

As I recall, there are several ways you can lock yourself out of being able to complete the game (releasing unique pokemons, primarily), so there was a good deal of trepidation & danger when it came to some critical moments and when the trolls got the upper hand.
same story here. she also said that it was commonplace for people to have plants that originated from seeds from 'the old world' and brought over; maybe they were at that point closer to some genetic cousin.
I'm not blind, but the way I wash dishes, when I rinse I press my fingers against the surface and slide with a bit of force through as much surface as I can. If my fingers don't skip across, it's not clean enough. It ideally should make that audible squeaky-clean sound.

I also identify minuscule stuck pieces of food through touch rather than sight. I need to not feel those for it to be clean.

It’s civil, so you don’t have the same standard of proof as for criminal trials.

You can try to use whatever pretexts you want, but you have to provide evidence, and the plaintiff can also provide evidence to support their side.

What Happens When Tony Hsieh Dies with $1B, with No Estate Planning
To be fair, even those early-grade-school children come in with the ability to read the text, while game-playing AI usually does not. If a human tried to play Pokémon Red without being able to read anything (even the numbers!), they would probably succeed eventually, but it would be quite difficult and frustrating. And even without reading, the human would still be making inferences based on how the graphics and sound resemble real-world objects. So for an AI to play the game “properly”, it really shouldn’t be a complete tabula rasa; it should have some of that knowledge too.
Friend of mine is a PA, always wanted to move to Alaska. Found his dream job, signed offer, sold house, found school for kids, etc.

Phone call 48 hours prior to them moving. “The clinic has been sold to new owners and they are evaluating all finances and rescinding employment offers, including yours. They’ll give you 30 days to repay the relocation assistance”.

No, they gave him far more than that. Three months salary, closing costs for the house they’d bought in Alaska, and no relocation repayment.

For those scanning through comments, the eponymous 'problem of American storms' was apparently an actual specific debate in the day...

>> The argument had arisen between William C. Redfield, a New York businessman, and a prominent meteorologist by the name of James Espy, and it centered on whether the motion of storms—hurricanes, blizzards, thunderstorms—in North America were rotational or centripetal in nature. This seemingly dry, theoretical debate had somehow blown up, generating a surprising amount of contention, ad hominem attacks, and national coverage as meteorologists in both the United States and Europe took sides, but definitive answers remained elusive.

... it fills me with satisfaction that people were still making ad hominem attacks on each other over matters esotetic in the early 1800s.

As far as ethics go, I'm not sure that the photographers or artists or people in the stock photos had intended to give rights to remix their work using AI for all sorts of unforeseen uses.. and not just taking a person and putting their face in a pic / advert about [insert terrible thing here] - but also change their expression ..
