You cant do anything at all with $10k per station. Literally nothing. Minimum $250k

“Total VOC” is useless, because without identifying the specific chemical sub-family (e.g. differentiation between ethyl acrylate vs butyl acrylate) you wont be able to tell which company is responsible for the leak or what the leak is.

> self-contained automated lab

Is roughly correct and is the level generally needed. It may be possible to do a bit cheaper, but probably not less than $250,000. Go too cheap and everything will be clogged and broken all the time and you wont get any actionable data for the money you spent.

A spectrometer or chromatograph is just one piece of the overall system, what you’ll want to search or build is a “gas analyzer” for the specific compounds. Take a look here for what those look like: https://www.emerson.com/en-us/automation/measurement-instrum...

They all also need pretty constant skilled maintenance from expensive technicians.

It may be possible to design and manufacture cheaper continuous gas samplers and analyzers but I wouldn’t do that just for this project, that would be its own startup and would need to compete on its own in the industrial market, which is heavily reliant on incumbent relationships and customers are often willing to spend a lot more so they get reliability and are generally unwilling to bet even one hour of potential production time. Because each hour of production can be millions of dollars of revenue, it justifies spending an extra $100k to prevent that downtime.

There’s not actually a lot of cost pressure on these gas analyzers at the moment. But if every plant was required to install 10 of them by law, then maybe buyers would care when they need to buy them for several plants at the same time.
> TBF to them, it can easily add an hour to your trip

I used to care when I was in my early-mid 20s because I'd often take evening flights in the day before I had to work (PTO was at a premium). Having to wait an additional 30 minutes to an hour for bags sucked when it was a two hour drive home and it was already 10:30. Now that I live next to the airport and have more leeway as regards my leave I don't sweat it so much.
I thought they discussed this in the article?

> While pricing for unlimited-user, DRM-free e-books is higher than the cost of traditional 1-user versions protected by DRM technology, DRM-free materials are also seeing more usage—and so the cost per use is ultimately lower.

I read that as: for some works, the libraries are buying "unlimited-user" licences that basically allows them to give away copies of the book to borrowers (not "borrowers" any more, I guess?).
I wouldn't block ads on youtube if they weren't so incredibly invasive and frequent. They've had banner ads on video on many satellite TV channels in India for 30 years now (maybe longer). The ads are creatively animated to draw attention without being intrusive.
Cool so you going to wear gloves every time you eat out, touch a door, hold a glass etc.? You’re shedding DNA throughout the day. How is that fundamentally different?
iOS is always behind when it comes to FOSS apps. The platform is just not FOSS-friendly—the developer needs a Mac in order to even build for it, and in order to host on the app store they have to pay a yearly fee, never mind that the app has no revenue stream.

Also, unlike Android, there can be no alternate app stores, so where F-Droid can exist to host apps that Google disapproves of, if Apple doesn't like it there's no good way to distribute.
The bigger picture is that if the people you want to be paying for your software is "enterprise" and your product is at all applicable for individual use just give it away for individual use. You'll get way more sign-ups, word of mouth, evangelicals already in the companies you're trying to sell to, and fodder for testing out new features live before pushing it to the customers who will be way more mad if it has bugs.

If you want true stickiness via sunk cost, selling to someone who is already using your product and doesn't want to learn a different thing when deciding what the team will use is it.

This is just paranoia, though.

Leaving aside that state supreme court decisions are overturned often, case law tries to be narrowly applied where it can. And this specific case is fairly narrow.
I don't dislike photo editing necessarily but I miss Aperture.

I've never been in to photo editing and whatnot but when Aperture came out I decided to spend time learning it, organizing my library, tagging things and figuring all that stuff out.

I invested a lot of time and even bought some ebooks and whatnot to learn it better.

Then the EOL'd it and I just have never recovered. I have to sit down and spend time learning Lightroom, redoing all my libary and reworking my storage.... and I just have never had the desire to do it. Many of my photos are sitting in an old Aperture library tar'd up on my NAS.
Yes, Mass Effect did much better job with that story, so does StarSector. I tried playing SC and SC2, but every time jerky, low resolution and unfun arcade space battle gameplay part turned me off. StarSector is Star Control done right.

The author chose to publish with DRM. They could choose not to, as others have done. They could choose a publisher that doesn't add DRM. They could argue with their publisher that DRM is hurting their sales because so many people are pirating their books instead of buying them because of the DRM.

Authors are not powerless victims here.
Puts things in to perspective for me. 3/6 of my most recent united flights were each delayed by over 4 hours. That doesn't include the time we were kept in the plane for 3 hours on the ground at JFK, nor the time they moved our departure to Oakland from SFO while we were in SFO.

2 minutes will really make a large impact.
Why not load the plane by row, back to front?
A 10-80% load cycle will be almost as good as 50-80%, and much more practical.
Everyone who is actually mad about the ad blocking is either a teenager (with no money) or won't pay for YT Premium anyways, regardless of how much value they get out of it. Why would these people pay for a Nebula/Curiosity Stream subscription?
10-20% will definitely reduce cycle life. you would almost double your cycle count by keeping your battery above 40% vs 20%
Deep cycles are also bad for batteries.

Honestly, I’d suggest trying to use your phone less. A new 15 pro has a pretty ridiculous screen on time even at just 80%.

I think the point is we chose a life of separation/distance, and now we whine about the relative discomfort of magically flying in the air thousands of miles in a few hours to cover that distance. Instead, we could either choose not to live so far apart or choose to accept the consequences of our actions.
Are there are any note taking apps that claim they make their users smarter?

Because people make a mess putting their luggage on overhead. That being said, I am fine with gate-checking. It's a decent alternative to overhead. My biggest worry with checked luggage is losing the bag. Second worry is that's it's going to break somehow. That's not the case for gate checked.
I think the original intent for carry-on + personal item is that a carry-on is a backpack and the personal item is your purse (so only 50% of the population has one). They stopped measuring carry-ons and now people take an ordinary suitcase as their carry-on and their maximum-allowed-carry-on-sized-bag as their personal item. Neither fit under the seat.

(I personally have been using a maximum-allowed-size backpack forever, and because it's soft, it can easily be crushed under the seat in front of me. It's not pleasant! But I've done it. Everyone should be like me.)
Apple's "battery health" measure is not the percentage of original capacity remaining. My old iPhone X claims 81% battery health, but the actual capacity is more like 60-70% of original.

EDIT: just saw that ossinsight also uses gharchive

I didn't filter for US region though. This is not really published by the github api, only the "location" field is published where users can put everything. ossinsight probably tried to parse the country codes?

It's also a matter of getting to your seat at the back, finding no space, and then having to walk up and finding any remaining space has been taken... the non-asshole approach can be risky.

If you're boarding last (as I do voluntarily and involuntarily), you just shove your stuff wherever.

I guess in optimized boarding setups, anyone that voluntarily boards last is an asshole, but they tend to escape judgement.
IME, an iPhone battery lasts minimum 3 years. (I've actually never needed a new battery the ones I've owned). $99 over 3 years is $0.10 a day. I'd easily pay that for an extra 20% battery capacity and it's definitely not worth fussing over.
Is actually an outlandish thought to you? You must think I'm insane for not eating at Chick-fil-A because of their stance on gay marriage, or for not buying pillows from that weird Trump aficionado. Do you really not think about who you are giving your money to, or do you just not care?
A quick reminder that deep learning is a hack
There was never any centralized open source movement. Just a bunch of people making open source software for various reasons. Some joined related communities, while many didn't. Some got paid, while many didn't. Some did it as a hobby, while many didn't.

Software is essentially worthless once it exists. Even if many people and many businesses rely on it, there may not be any economic value in maintaining it. If you need to get paid, you may have to do something else for living.
Does everything need to scale? I personally quite enjoyed the web back in the day where most communities were running on tiny boxes managed by a single hobbyist.

> you need a mod team to prevent runaway piracy and child porn.

Nebula doesn't because it's an invite-only platform. The creators are all part of an old-school social network and can vouch for each other.

> video delivery is not a cheap game, so i'm not really sure how free platforms will survive

So don't be a free platform! Nebula is doing just fine at serving me and many like me. Most of the creators I follow make a solid living on Patreon, with Nebula and YouTube ads just layered on top. The idea that every app must be free and must scale to ~every human being on the planet is killing the internet.
Also selling:

* faster de-planing (this, and an assumption that people paying more USUALLY cause less trouble, thus better to seat near the pilots)

* the illusion of exclusivity (more important people 'go first')

* the actual practice of exclusivity (service is provided highest paying class to least) when things run short / out

* First Class, the one time I ever flew it, got meal choices that seemed actually good. Behind them it's always dry pretzel things for a snack flight or some mish mash of global fusion I'd never roll the dice on; or an overpriced stale sandwich from one of the stores in the area past TSA.
Yes, I meant female A to male C. These are compliant and even have specific resistor coding so that dual-role USB-C devices know what they have to do, since USB-A ports are directional.
I probably should have been suspicious by the time I hit "supercomputer" but for some reason I kept on going.
Hopefully for you and your wife it's not too much of a determining factor!
It's best for users that UI never displays true SoC(state of charge). They will not understand that the cameras and NFC payments don't work under true 10%, your degraded battery cannot safely reach nominal 100% voltage, etc.

Those are not pleasant facts that users need always be made aware of. 98% understood by BMS rounded up to 100%, actual 12% displayed as 1%, etc., should be tolerated.
Hi! I block YouTube ads and will stop watching YouTube if they disable ad blockers, but I am currently paying for Nebula. AMA.
A Third Party in the House?
My computing environment mostly consists of a browser and tmux, with vim for editing. A few months ago I wanted to try Github Copilot, so I signed up for the trial thinking I could use it in Codespaces. Eventually I gave up and installed VSCode locally. Now I use it a little, mostly for exploratory work, but less than I would if it were in my browser.

Is there any CDE with good Copilot (or equivalent) integration available today?
I get it, Israel is the better run country in this regard, and the Palestinians barely have a functioning government (and what government they have functions away from Gaza in the west bank), Hamas is basically a terrorist organization. But the Israeli hasn't been acting in very good faith lately, aside from the outlandish accusations leveraged against them, Netanyahu is a very nationalistic/right wing leader, who had to unilaterally reform the judiciary to make it less independent to avoid legal sanction.
This is true of Li-ion batteries in general.

If you had been yelling that you would be happy that someone's house burned down, I suspect you would be a suspect in the event that said house burned down. Does that mean we are stifling free speech that hopes harm on people?

I can see some concern over this, but just not in this case. If it was, "all people that searched pyromancy" and that included people that were looking up fireworks, for example. Or if it was all people that looked at any house on redfin in that state.

This was a fairly targeted search, all told. "Anyone been asking around about the victim?"

That sucks. The keyboard improvements in iOS 17 make it finally usable.
Using a third-party YouTube client is against the YouTube Terms of Service, and YouTube does not offer official APIs for watching video content. Thus, Apple helps Google by proactively blocking apps that are a "YouTube Alternative Player" or "Free YouTube [/Music]" since it's a violation of 5.2.2 of the App Store Review Guidelines:

> 5.2.2 Third-Party Sites/Services: If your app uses, accesses, monetizes access to, or displays content from a third-party service, ensure that you are specifically permitted to do so under the service’s terms of use. Authorization must be provided upon request.

If you don't ever use the full capacity of the battery, why wouldn't you want to optimize it?

It is funny that we keep reapproaching this "barrel processor" design that the CDC 6600 started so long ago. That "Vector processor + peripheral processor" design is super interesting. Nerds are attracted to this design like moths to a fly - it has been repeated and echoed in Sun Niagara, AMD Bulldozer, Xeon Phi, and now Royal Cores/rentable units/zen4c/5c/etc. We can just make one thing run fast, and have a bunch of workers servicing it, that are simple and slow and cheap, right?

I think it's a PiDP-11, the PiDP-8 isn't quite as red.
It’s surprising how little people pay for content. Not saying they are obligated to, but take the instance of a channel you really like, quality content. When you see the stats you can see sometimes a 1000x difference in paying customers (take for instance a youtuber with a patreon or YTsubscription)

So you really like a channel, and I am assuming not all are poor, that is a big difference. I wonder what the friction is here. (As someone who is very aware of the effort some creators put in)
Here is the original news that mistakenly quotes “$100M" when the real sum seems to be in low 1000s.

wow, I thought the iOS app was actually pretty good, but this site feels like 3x faster than the app! It’s wild how doing less but better is so hard as companies to pursue. I struggle with it at work also.
This has far less effect than limiting charging to 80%. If only because you usually spend a short time down at 10% before noticing it's low and finding a charger. Where as phones regularly spend long hours charged to 100% because we tend to put them on chargers and then leave them overnight.
I think there is this concept of min/maxing in games that resonates in other areas of our lives.

In a game instead of going with the flow and trusting the process people tend to start reading guides how to make the most OP character, maximise stats, and make it a 100% completion.

This approach eventually sucks out the pleasure of exploration and random encounters that made the games so good and instead makes people spend hours on trying to maximise stats in a random dice roll fashion.

Similarly with other activities, the sense of wonder and "just because" goes out as we are all trying to max out something, whether its wealth or code quality.
I suspect it's because the people, who want more control over the usage of the services they use, usually see Android as a system that allows higher degree of that control. And because of that, iOS may simply have less people who is interested.
>I'm sorry but this whole tripe of, "We don't even know how they work" is the stupidest part of the current AI hype trend.

Well it's true.

>They pretend like we are clueless about what's going on inside our own algorithms and it's just silly at this point.

Nobody is pretending about anything. They're not "our own algorithms". The entire point of neural networks is that we don't know much or really anything about how to teach intelligence to a machine and so we figured out a way to get the machine to teach itself given data, structure and an objective.
Nobody knows what algorithms, processes or constructs neural networks employ to perform their objective once trained.

>It would be like saying Jackson Pollock didn't understand how his paintings are even being made because he doesn't understand every step of the physics of the paint

No it would be like saying we understood how human intelligence worked because we know how neurons communicate.
I don't know that I follow your example. Searching a specific address is a fairly rare thing to do, all told. Such that I suspect you have a tighter target for that than you do any organization search.
Apple released something similar called HyperCard in 1987: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard, allowing users to create their own UI.

We have phones plugged in 24/7 for work. The phones where I can limit the battery charging have never had expanded batteries. The ones that cant expand regularly (sometimes as little as 6 months).

Personally i hate the optimized battery charging ios does. It’s awful. I’d rather being able to keep my phone plugged in basically 24/7 and always have it ready to go, but not have to worry about expediting its death.
I wonder if those community instances are trustable. Self-hosting invidious might solve the privacy concerns though.
If it's a big enough problem, then maybe. Honestly it just seems like a cat and mouse game - there'll always be dedicated people willing to crack any new DRM scheme that comes out.

I would guess that the DRM mostly does its job though, but it's hard to say for sure!
Where are you colocating? Looking for one myself
