The ultrasound has to pass through the body as well, right? Is it that ultrasound can be generated across a broader surface and below a certain threshold has no impact? Or is there some other reason the above statement makes sense?
Humid Heat Can Kill Us Much Faster Than We Thought
When I was in the Middle East, they had these and people would just shoot them out. I think we can expect that in the US as well.
Yes, and the reasons are instructive.

When you get to the lowest level, technically, the banking apps want to store files on the phone that the user can't access.

This means that something like lineageos can run banking apps, if the phone tells the banking app what the app wants to hear. It's fiddly but can be done, and in fact it is what I do on my private phone. It also means that a platform that fundamentally gives users the right to read all the files on the phone (ie. to make a complete backup) will not be supported by banking apps, because such a platform will not let the banks do what they think they need to do.

I think this implies that such platforms can't grow beyond a niche within a niche.
There's a theory that you're gut is optimizing over your life. So you were young, and you could eat garbage by the truck load and not see a pound. You're now eating better and exercising portion control, but your body has learned how to extract everything it can from food.
Another really powerful way to write lyrics is to just pick up a mic and start singing melodic nonsense into it. Words if any come to mind are fine but nah nahs and other phonetic gibberish are cool too. Then rinse and repeat. It can be a bit embarrassing at first but as you continue doing it, phrases will start popping out of the ether. Those phrases often surprise you. You write them down maybe add some new words to augment or change them. Go back and do it again. Jeff Tweedy of Wilco works this way. I’ve used it to great success as well.

Hey! This was on my first computer, a monochrome 286 before my uncle formatted the hard drive after I broke DOS while messing with files.

This makes me wonder—how much performance would you loose by taking a "distrusted client" approach, and only sending data that you want the player to know about? Could you make cheating basically impossible?

Multiply that by 15-20 years and you’re looking at a solid extra 200lbs you have. Naturally every 40 or so makes you look in the mirror, make some minor changes that last a year or maybe a bit more and it’s back to getting out from under the gelatin we’re packing onto ourselves.

In order to really, truly, get a handle on your weight - you need to increase muscle mass, operate at a slight caloric deficit, eliminate excess calories, and forgive yourself. The easiest way to distract you from excess calories is by doing something that keeps you busy (and hopefully works those muscles). Bikes rides, hikes, climbing gym, treadmills, skating, skiing, walking at a faster than moderate pace, running, weightlifting, tree cutting, brick laying.

People often get demotivated when they call it “working out”. Instead, just call it “working”.
If inactivity was the explanation, it logically follows it would be possible to undo obesity by simply having people move more, but the evidence suggests exercise does not help compared to diet.

Fascinating thought that motivation could accidentally be added to a model.
Interesting. Here in Sydney, Australia, they’re all run by the government, however speeding incurs a loss of points against your license (as well as hefty fines). Lose too many points and you lose your license. This system ensures the cloistered elite are incentivised to stick to the limits too.

There’s a totally separate discussion about what tolerances are used and what levels of punishment to hand out.. things here are far too strict on that front.
It would be good if there is a FAQ that explains where the documents are stores,

Multistory parking lots are more expensive, and ultimately unnecessary if you don't need parking in the first place.

First, determine how much you can eliminate car related infrastructure and implement infrastructure that are more efficient and are actually necessary.

Dollars that don't have to be spent on expensive and unnecessary infrastructure can be spent on making spaces more livable or increasing amenities.
A lot of skinny people have high metabolism, how do you explain that?
That sounds like a binary was updated, or something similar.

There's no way they'd be collecting 600MB of data on each user; what would even be included in that? Plus, 600MB for each of their users would quickly become unprofitable, which would defeat the entire point of data-sharing.

Nevertheless, it may be worth inspecting the network I/O for the application to see what it's up to -- this could provide some hints as to what such a large payload is being used for.
The AOSP keyboard was available on f-droid when I installed f-droid, and the f-droid app kept nagging me to replace the keyboard app on my phone with the debloated AOSP version from f-droid. Debloated, in this case, meaning without support for minority languages such as mine.

Unless your "application" is the only thing in the screen, you need some protocol. At a minimum, repainting after your windows has been obscured by others, reacting to commands like closing the window or the session, shutting down, etc.

The main difference from CLI is that GUI works reacting to messages, even for (re)painting. Once you get that, the rest falls into place. This is usually implemented with object-oriented libraries, because it's the kind of application where OOP shines. But it's not mandatory.

Oh, and your app should also respond to move, change workspace, minimize... messages.
That’s a hallucination, ironically.
I understand that. And I mentioned the passports already in my comments. But in the context of my comment. national ID would be required and must issued for every citizen (adult), which is not the case. So hence there is not effective national ID in tue US.
I’m a 6’0 man who went up to 220lbs when I started working a desk job that provided sodas on demand. When I left there and went somewhere I needed to walk to eat lunch to I lost 30lbs and now hover around 190lbs.

When I learned how to swim last year that dropped to 175 ish and would’ve probably kept dropping if I spent more than 3 months going to the pool for an hour a day twice a week.

I see more and more reckless driving in San Francisco every day. Not just regular people speeding on their way to somewhere, but people driving cars and bikes specifically built to be as loud and fast as possible. Speeding and making noise is the activity. I’ve also started seeing cars blatantly running red lights which I never used to see.

So I actually find myself wanting them to install these, which is not how I’d have felt a few years ago.

My concern is that they’re not going to catch the people I’m worried about because people who disregard the laws like that often frequently obscure their license plates. I’ve seen tons of cars with intentionally bent plates or with these heavy tinted plastic covers over them that make them impossible to photograph accurately (ex: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1570625389/anti-photo-red-light...)
> The truth is usually there are tradeoffs and the defaults fit a broad general case.

Part of the problem is that reasonable defaults for performance is a somewhat new phenomenon. It used to be that the defaults for Linux kernel settings, Apache, MySQL, etc... were terrible for production use.

So there's a lot of history that "you have to change them" burned into people minds, documents, etc.

There was an article weeks ago about the distinction being that the ultrasound could be focussed in where it imparts energy. However I’m not finding what i remember or i’d link to it.
I chuckled at this. Where I live in Canada I don't think its anywhere on the list of priorities for the police to enforce road safety laws in the first place.
This story doesn’t hold water. Lower and middle income citizens are far more affected by and reliant on credit than the proverbial “guy in a sports car.”
Related to this, I really dislike how Google Play acts like it owns your device. Installing an apk? Hey, I'm Google Play, I exist, how about turning Play Protect on?
The app it wanted to install was its AOSP, it's likely that I was using another AOSP build at the time but I'm not sure. I've used either AOSP or gboard almost all of the time, so it's 99% likely to have been one of those two.
Denverite here. I historically have been a consistent opponent of "automated enforcement" in general; it's typically run though partnerships with private companies, so the drive for profit sets up perverse incentives, like shortening yellow lights at red light cameras, placing speed cameras at valleys to nab people coasting a few mph/kph higher before heading up a hill, etc.

All that remains true, but it's _less bad_ than the zero-enforcement era we've been in since Covid. Rare is the un-blown red light in front of a bicycle crossing, or an un-rolled stop sign in front of an elementary school, or an un-exceeded speed limit on residential streets. I'm not super concerned about speeding on freeways, but in the absence of police doing any traffic enforcement work in cities, these seem like the least-bad solution for now.

I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

$50 for going 11mph+ (and more if going faster)

I wonder what are the actual fines going to look like.
We also have these “$50” HOV lane violation fines in Texas. And the “$50 fine” turns into $275 out of the door.

Just to clarify, I’m purely curious about if $50=$50 in Cali or not.
Given its place by “discourse markers”, I take that to mean “don’t use ordinal markers like ‘first’, ‘second’, and ‘third’; instead use referential discourse markers like ‘then’, ‘next’, and ‘finally’”
Gonna give this a try soon.
That is simply not true. The organizations blame Israel for existing at the expense of the previous local population. A population, with a layered identity, existing since ancient Phillistine. Talk to chatgpt for an unbiased view of history. Many Palestinians are descendants of real Israelites who never left the region. The organizations blame Israel for terrorism and anti-Muslim rhetoric. They blame Israel for the truth that is internationally recognized, that Israel is an apartheid state - and therefore a criminal state. The world is calling that out. Of course Zionist terrorists can’t stand free speech after getting called out, just like they’ve done with every Israeli whistleblower of their own.

No one wants to work for supporters of a criminal apartheid state. Good for those students to be outraged!

The ornithopter is real, mind you.
Spain has had them for a while, but they have disadvantages.

The main reason we want to wait for red lights isn't that it'll illegal: It's because it's indicating that not stopping is quite dangerous. Keep going, and you can get sideswiped, or you'll go over a pedestrian. Ignoring red lights in those situations, which are 90% of situations, is going to make you find out pretty soon.

But then there's red lights that aren't really telling you there's a clear and present danger. Red lights in one way streets, to one way streets, with great visibility. Crossings in streets designed for rush hour traffic that don't have very different timings for the middle of the night. Or maybe the time where a theater finishes their night production, and the traffic patterns have nothing to do with the lights. In those cases, people are often rewarded by ignoring the red light, because yes, it's not indicating risks accurately. And the more you train people that yes, there are red lights that are safe to ignore, the more they'll consider ignoring others that are unsafe.

So those red lights that just change when you are speeding, but don't indicate that a different direction is passing through are doing nothing but telling the speeding driver that if they are caught, they'll get a much bigger fine, because other than for the fine, speeding past that light is not really any more dangerous than the speeding they were doing already. So it works for some people, but it also makes others more dangerous drivers.
Could be that it's area of effect is only where the frequencies resonate.
I happen to own a paper copy of this book, and as usual for sharpening books, they throw in a chapter on axes as an afterthought. Sharpening an ax is different enough from most other sharpening that you should get a specialized text for it. It's not that difficult or terribly specialized, but knife sharpeners always seem to want to apply the ideas of knife sharpening to axes, which isn't quite right all the time.

Two books I recommend for axes are "One Moving Part", the USFS ax manual, probably the best (only?) work that they ever did:

https://www.fs.usda.gov/t-d/pubs/pdfpubs/pdf18232812P/1823-2...

And "The Ax Book" by Dudley Cook, which you'll have to buy a paper copy of. (I don't suggest you round the corners of your axes as he suggests though)

The old USFS ax manual, "An Ax to Grind", even had a companion video which you can find on youtube, though if you're new to sharpening the instructions could be more clear IMO:

Red light cameras are just a profit center that do not increase safety and usually cause more accidents.

On the other hand I am all in for things like speeding cameras. Growing up 15 years ago it felt like cops across the country would generally be patrolling and stopping people speeding or driving recklessly on a frequent enough basis that you felt it prudent to at least drive safely. Now it feels like across the country traffic violations are an after thought. I have noticed this across states. Lots of reckless driving, everyone is constantly on their phone on the interstate. Rarely see police or police pulling people over.

Who is proposing no roads?

We need more rail, more trolleys, more buses, lower speed limits, to close loopholes for polluting trucks, and mixed use roads built for pedestrians, bicycles, and smaller motorized vehicles.

SUVs and trucks should be taxed so much they're impractical to own, apart from a legit business need. Not encouraged to proliferate through outdated regulatory loopholes.

Roads should serve everyone, including those incapable of driving and those with respiratory challenges. They should not only serve the rich, deceived, and unimaginative who cannot stand the thought of any other solutions.
There are multiple factors in maintaining bodyweight: diet, activity level, muscle mass, metabolism, etc. We shouldn't expect a single factor to explain everything, but holding eveything else constant, more muscle and the physical activity necessary to maintain it will burn more calories. It's an important part of maintaining health as we age.
Did you have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism from the brain injury? If you did the endocrinologist is right about the TRT. Without TRT you would have been infertile because you lacked GNRH/FSH/LH from disruption of your hypothalamic pituitary axis due to injury. Your Leydig cells would not be able to produce local testosterone in your testes for your Sartoli cells to utilize in spermatogenesis.

With TRT you would have systemic androgen but not high enough in your testes locally for spermatogenesis. So with or without TRT you would be infertile (if you have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)
When they launched GPT-4 back in March they talked about its image capabilities - I think they trained it into the model from the start, but then spent several extra months on additional safety research, as described in their paper: https://cdn.openai.com/papers/GPTV_System_Card.pdf

If I could get a small cut of the ticket revenue, I would just camp out on a highway overpass with a good zoom camera and take pictures of people on the highway playing with their phones. From a recent bus ride, sitting high up and looking down into people’s cars, I’d say 80-90% were scrolling social media or texts while driving. I’d have a nice steady income an be doing an actual public service, unlike the cops (wherever they are these days).

This shit actually causes accidents.

Income based fines are used elsewhere [1] to try and counter some of these issues. Not sure of the barriers for this type of approach in the US but I think it would be more effective than flat fines with leniency for lower-income offenders which seem to be the approach often taken.

For the CA bill: "People who meet certain income or housing criteria can also receive deductions of these fines anywhere from 50 to 80%." [2] This seems much less effective than something that is based on income.

Totally agree and I generally hate this kind of enforcement too but it does indeed feel like their is zero enforcement now over much of the US.
I love this. It's a book about craftsmanship and the philosophy of excellence and knife sharpening is almost incidental (it takes a while to find the part that actually says how to sharpen stuff).

This kind of trade craftsmanship is rare these days but the lessons apply to any kind of productive pursuit.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I was in a similar boat with wanting to speak in the desired language, but also not being close with my child. Now, I just read books in other languages and say phrases to them occasionally to prime their brain to the sounds and ease learning in the future (if they do choose).

In college I remember hearing many stories from bilingual children whose parents spoke exclusively one language at home while the child spoke English at school, etc. Anecdotally, I recall many of these people saying they were less likely to open up to their parents (or, parent, if it was only one exclusively speaking the language). Many cited it was because they didn't feel as comfortable in the second language but didn't bother to even try because they knew their parents wouldn't budge on speaking English.

OP, YMMV and your daughter is only 2 so I'm sure it's fine for now, but it's also important to consider that as she grows into a teenager she may come to resent Spanish. As that happens you might want to allow her to ease off and speak to you in whatever she feels most comfortable with, for the sake of your own relationship. And remember: no matter what the outcome, you're already doing amazing work by preparing her brain to explore languages on her own in the future!
I doubt it. My guess is there will be fees and what not attached to it. My gut says all states are like that.

Source: the 5 speeding tickets I got in different states when I was young and super dumb. The tickets were for 75-100, but each cost at least 250 after fees.
Just the other day I introduced an non-native English speaking friend to the word myopic. You'd think "short-sighted" would win out as the clearer term, but myopic consistently beats it on Google Trends. I would expect a writer to alternate between them if they needed to repeat the concept and wanted to clearscribe.

Speeding adds points to your license but red light camera violations don’t. It’s a pure cash grab hence why they shut it down in the first place because all the private companies were cheating their way into fines by shortening light cycles. If this was truly about safety concerns then it would add points.

Skimmed an article now claiming the primary concern is speeding. So why not deploy our officers with radar guns instead to add points? What’s a $50 fine for going 15mph over the speed limit gonna do? Nothing.
