Interesting article at first glance, although I definitely have to reread when I'm actually... awake

Is that my Water.css color scheme from so many years ago I see? :)
>by removing sentences and generally making it worse.

Can I offer another POV? If those sentences weren't needed, they weren't needed. You didn't really make it worse.
I feel the exact same about Riteaid. The employees actually called others over and laughed at me to my face due to the prescription I was filling.
Many years ago while helping fix up a friend's newly-bought house, I encountered the same thing, although fortunately it looked like it had never been used. My first thought was that it was somehow left unfinished for some reason, but apparently it's allowed, and even somewhat common.
The rocket crane to land a rover was pretty crazy, gonna be hard to top that.
I appreciate the sarcasm! I agree though that there are a lot of crazy car-brains in the US. But I think the tide is shifting. Cities are pushing back against car infestation. If cities can get enough political will to de-car themselves, then inter-city transit will come back too.
Almost everyone uses wifi for everything now. If you're using Ethernet there is a very high probability you are actually a proxy/vpn exit on a rack in some random residential location.
Penn sold the patent to an outside company? Maybe it should be standard in such cases (if it isn't already) to give the researchers the right of first refusal.
My fear is that your phone is also the primary MFA device, so losing that could mean you can't log into your account anymore (and therefore can't restore the cloud backup)…

When ecommerce becomes unweildy enough, I'll just go to walmart in person. I can pay my credit card bills by mail.

I'd be ok losing youtube. There's some good content there, but there's so much garbage and I can only hear people begging me to like and subscribe so many times. I've got more dvds and blu-rays than I can watch, and there's so many at good will too.

All I get in gmail is transactional mail for other people. It would be no loss. My personal email is at fastmail, and I'd expect them not to participate in the browser in browser thing, but if they do... That's fine. Email isn't that important anymore. What am I going to miss? If you want to contact me, send me a letter or call me or text me or ... ?
Most LED monitors flicker at low brightness settings, but you can get ones that don't.

The ones that don't have more expensive electronics driving the backlight. Eizo's FlexScan EV series is one example.

I have a FlexScan EV, and I don't find being able to turn the brightness down to 1 or 2 nits without any flicker as useful as I thought I would. Even in complete darkness, it is hard to read the screen when the brightness is that low.
Yeah any increase in funding needs to go to meaningfully different grant processes. Giving more money to the existing funding structures will not fix a damn thing. Because the present system is just woefully unscaleable. More money to current NIH -> more PhD students -> tenure track competition remains fucking ridiculous.
Security is not about bad things not happening, it's about preventing bad things from happening.

Look, you've already agreed that "it would be better if [you] asked for the proper permissions on demand", and that it was "a matter of prioritizing". Now you are trying to object and call it "deriding" if I don't pretend that you are following security best practices. You are not, you have explained why, what is this thread about?
No thanks, I like a fully stocked pantry and buying things in massive bulk from Costco so I can get high quality products for a reasonable price.
I think The City felt it more than usual because it was centered near SFO. Most earthquakes we feel are higher magnitude but further away. Commonly NE of Berkeley.
For small startups, WhatsApp group or phone call can act as a backup.
> How can Israel force Egypt to do anything? There's a border- on one side Egypt and on the other side Gaza? Israel's not there. What is true is that Israel's agreement is e.g. needed not to bomb that aid so likely that's some of the discussion going on, which is not quite the same thing.

Israeli explicitly ordered a total blockage of Gaza:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/9/israel-announces-to...

> If Egypt allowed, and the UN drove aid trucks in, Israel would not bomb the UN. So aid isn't getting in because Egypt doesn't let it in.

Are You sure? Israel repeated bombed the Rafah crossing this month as a warning to keep this blockage in place:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/10/alarm-as-israel-ag...

Israel only relented when Biden said to let aid in - that is reported in this article:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-to-allow-egypt-to-...

> Also please tell me why can't the foreign nationals on the Gazan side leave Gaza into Egypt? Is Israel also preventing them from leaving?

No, that is Egypt I believe. With regards to mass outflows, Egypt is worried that Israel will push the Palestinians in Gaza out and they will never return. That is problematic for Egypt for other reasons, such as Hamas's relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. For a few foreign nationals, I am not sure the reasoning.
> Yes, let me put cash into the non-existent train ticket machines, or to the non-existent train attendants

Insisting on paying cash is how you prevent those machines from disappearing.

That's why it's important.
> without changing the culture or enforcement

Fortunately, it is within our power to both change the culture and enforce it.

Thought TBF the underlying reason is that America has a relatively abysmal safety net (healthcare being the most terrible of the lot), so you just have more people falling through the cracks onto the street.
I was one of those devs long ago. The shareware model worked wonders.
I guess we disagree on whether advertising goods and services to people should be considered a crime.

If chromium can write special case detection & optimizations for this javascript code, ad blockers can probably do the same.
That’s not the point. Obviously I know how to search and figured out what it is.

I’m just saying that when you write press releases and articles you should probably be mindful of the fact that it might be someone’s first impression of you.

I’d never heard of Krita before this post and my first impression is that their maintainers have rocks in their shoes.
Are we talking about the west bank or Gaza here?

- It is true that some Palestinians in the west bank are treated very badly including taking over their water wells. There's a long story or a short story there. We have a right wing government in Israel that supports right wing settlers in the west bank and is trying to kill any hope of peace with Palestinians.

- Israel occupied the west bank from Jordan in 1967. The status of that land was never settled and therefore it is still considered (by Israel and the world) to be an occupied territory and is under military rule. So that's why this area is under military rule. This is international law btw. In the various peace agreements nobody wants this piece of and back. Israel did not annex it. And there's been no agreement with anyone (e.g. Palestinians) about it.

- I think we're talking Gaza again. Are you asking why are Palestinians in Gaza responsible for Israel's failure to protect its citizens from them? I'm not sure how to address this seriously.

- This isn't an excuse but everyone in Israel is in shock/PTSD at the moment. It's a small place and everyone is personally impacted. Calling Hamas sub-human isn't right. They're very human in the worst possible way. Somehow I don't think the analogy between the Jewish people in Europe and Hamas really holds though. I don't recall the Jewish people going around with RPGs and assault rifles and butchering Europeans.

- Hamas is never going to return those hostages and the price would be unacceptable. Israel also has to be concerned about the next round of attacks and hostages. Some of Hamas's leadership today are people that were exchanged for a single Israeli hostage, Gilad Shalit, who was exchanged for 1000 Palestinians, many of which were in jail for killing Israelis. There is no scenario here unfortunately where Israel can get security and the return of the hostages. If there was there wouldn't be a war right now.

And yeah, these recent events aren't exactly a win for humanity.
Did she laugh at my comment if I may ask or are you only referring to you showing her? You got me curious and hopeful now
Because SMS delivery exhausts location data, but dedicated TOTP devices don't.
This has been my impression of this story since it was originally posted, that the discussion of it has been extremely odd and focused more on Taub's narrative than what's actually going on on the island.

My memory of the original story was that it was even stranger, in that what I recall was they got lost, claimed it didn't exist because they didn't find it (even though they were completely lost) and then we were supposed to just go along with that. "San Franciscan goes to Isle Royale with his mom and gets lost, couldn't find a boulder he read about on the internet" would just as accurately describe the whole thing, so why isn't that the story?

I wish this sort of higher-level discussion were more part of the story; it's disappointing to me that Wikipedia isn't more factually accurate about it. I'd change it but my experiences with making edits on Wikipedia are not encouraging.

I've been to Isle Royale, and hiked throughout the interior. I've been to Siskiwit Lake, although not to Ryan Island itself.

Personally I doubt Moose Boulder exists, but I could see a vernal pool with a boulder in it as a real possibility. You can see from the Google Maps satellite imagery there isn't any obvious pond there but who knows. I imagine with enough knowledge of the topography or Ryan Island, someone could model what it would look like with a lot of snowmelt and rain to see if it's even possible for there to be a vernal pool there in spring.

I remember discussing the idea of such a boulder with a companion, not by that name, but as an abstract amusing concept. The geography of the Isle Royale invites the idea of it even if it doesn't exist: the entirety of the place is a maze of rock and water, so it's easy to believe such a thing could be there.

Isle Royale is pretty remote, but Sikiwit Lake isn't that difficult to get to if you go to the trouble of going there. I think the thing easiest to do would be to bring along a good sturdy drone and launch it from the shore at one of the campsites.

On a totally tangential note, I cringe every time I see Isle Royale being mentioned as part of Michigan. It should really be part of Minnesota — the only reason why it's not is because of the vicissitudes of statehood timing and fears of Canada claiming it for itself.
Horribly, horribly dull. That was the worst part. I'm used to using my brain 16 hours a day. Jail was torture because you're just staring at the walls all day.
It supposedly is true that putting on black and white face makeup as if you are a fan of Insane Clown Posse, however, it would tend to make you stand out in a crowd, if you were walking down the street...

Yes. Note that the person in question doesn't have to be a random mugger on the street. It could be a suspicious spouse, nosey coworker, or a voyeuristic phone technician.
Everyone picks on Penn, but really the whole academic community made this mistake. Her research was public; any other university could have offered her a job as well. Nobody realized how important her research was at the time.
What is the Palestinian breakdown then? Given most of the population is now in the south if Israel was bombing indiscriminately and not doing what it said it would do (i.e. the south is relatively safer) we should see vastly larger number of casualties in the south. Is that the case?
Lest someone new to Kotlin only reads the title and decides to spawn bare threads all over the place, don’t. At first pass, it's not clear to me what the actual work the author is doing in his benchmark. Instead, I’d point to the excellent work of Marcin Moskala’s Kt.Academy[0] and other resources on the topic.

The entirety of SoMa and Mission Bay are liquefaction zones [1], expected to face major damage during the next major earthquake.

I wonder if "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" really is good advice for liquefaction zones for a very big earthquake.

Because a country has built up a culture and a character and that’s what has historically worked for the people in those countries. I’d much rather see, for instance, an African or an Arab in lederhosen in Germany speaking fluent German and a German in a disdasha in the Middle East speaking Arabic than some sort of one to one association between race/ethnicity and culture.
Taste: that's a tough one to quantify! If you've ever had red bean paste sweets (either rectangular solids or filled pastries), that's usually adzuki bean, iirc. I'm new to mung beans, and they grow a thick radicle, almost as large as the garbanzo in the same amount of time. Garbanzos are my favorite, in part for the texture. Overall? "Pasty-chalky" is not really selling it, but this is part of how I'd describe cooked unflavored sprouts.

I chose these seeds based on what I could buy from the local coop bulk order (supplied by Azure Standard in Dafur, OR) and what I suspected would sprout. The oat groats and barley don't sprout- seems like they've been heat-treated?
Recently I added buckwheat and sesame; curious to see if they sprout.
I figure a variety of seeds is better for nutrition, but I admit I don't really know. "Eat your colors" is about as complicated as I go unless I'm temporarily into some fad or other. This may go that way, but the price is right, it's easy to do, feels good in my body, and has a lower resource cost than other things I might eat. The main downside is that I'm the only one eating like this in my family, and I also cook most of the meals.

To previous concerns about contamination, I don't wash the seeds with anything other than water and friction (to get out rocks and dirt and dust and unwanted plant-parts), because I end up cooking the sprouts until soft. I hope that's enough to kill Escherichia coli.

I don't as yet grow sprouts to make them green and leafy, just until the radicle gets 1-3cm long. Sometimes they green up but that's incidental.

Considering growing wheat grass, but now we're talking soil or other substrate, clipping, blending or juicing; that's too much work, haha.
Sorry but we will not be able to agree on that. Israel is committing atrocities, has committed countless human rights violations and has been the direct cause of the death of far more Palestinians than the reverse by an uncomfortably large factor. Ignoring that is effectively blocking any kind of solution.

Palestinian blood is just as red as Israeli blood.
One thing I am wondering about is SAT to SAT communication. I imagine the receiver / transmitter is facing "down", or is it maneuverable and does SAT to SAT support something like a BGP router network or something to ensure optimal comms.
Do you have the names of documentaries handy by chance?
It isn't analogous.
It doesn't rain in the cave. Even when the rain is over, is the rain comes back you won't be covered. Better never leave the cave.
Coca-Cola is indeed highly profitable, but American consumers have indicated time and again that they want some real bread and beef to go with that Coca-Cola. They want to feel reasonably full, and they can't come back 6 times a day no matter what, because they have to work in order to pay for your burger.

You're not going to make a large profit if you diverge too far from this social norm. Don't think like a startup, because we're talking about traditional multinational businesses here.
The US government isn't preventing anyone, especially non-citizens living in other countries, from exercising their free speech. We are also free to read your free speech, and deny you entry to our country because of what you said about our country.

What you are talking about here, is that we as a people, have no right to listen to what you say and make decisions based on that. What you are saying is that if there's a guy outside your house yelling that you're an evil bad person who should rot in hell, you obligated to ignore his words in your decision to open your door and invite him in, because he has a right to say anything he wants. Do you... Do you get robbed a lot? If you do, you should observe the world around you, and make decisions based on those observations. This will greatly help you not get robbed a lot.

This is actually pretty simple and people keep complicating it with History. The Hamas charter is that the entirety of Israel belongs to the Palestinian and should be an Islamic state. Their roots are in the Muslim Brotherhood (from al-qaeda, ISIS fame).

When the Oslo accord was signed and peace broke out, they started blowing up busses with suicide bombers (and coffee shops and many other things). They essentially destroyed the chance for peace, enabled the rise of Benjamin Netanyahu and moved Israel to the right. Netanyahu actually supported them and helped them financially due to a misconception that they will prevent the formation of a Palestinian state due to their extremism (yes, he really is THAT stupid).

Unfortunately, despite their leaders sitting on buckets of cash in Qatar etc. They made a very deliberate choice of burning down Israel.

They are the main reason we don't have a Palestinian state. They would literally pay with the blood of their own people due to a crazy religious interpretation. It's not about hate, it's not about revenge. They are a cancer on their own people. They are killing them and Israelis. They will burn everything down.

Unfortunately, like any cancer they're embedded deep and rooting that out is painful and almost impossible.

People don't understand this, they think that peace or ceasefire are always the best options. But there are these very rare occasions where evil must be eliminated for the sake of everyone involved.
Wow these ads are intrusive. I just got done listening to Penrose talking about this. Interesting timing.
> (OTOH I once lived in a condo with an under-the-microwave exhaust that didn't actually vent outside, it just spat everything up onto the kitchen ceiling... a wet greasy spot accumulated up there before I realized what was going on.)

Isn't the primary purpose of a kitchen vent to remove smoke from the kitchen?

How on earth is moving smoke from one part of the kitchen to another part of the kitchen supposed to improve anything? Is your smoke alarm that location-sensitive? (What if there was a fire 20 feet away from the smoke alarm?) Will it be any easier to breathe?
One boring but absolutely valid reason you might want to hire remote people in the same country is that they're within a few time zones of everybody else so you can have online meetings during normal business hours.
Get a Google Voice account to accept the SMSes for you, it's free and Capital One will complain about the number but accept it.

I permanently live overseas but with US bank accounts and cards, and all my cards go through cycles and phases. Sometimes they want to send SMSes for months to verify account access, then they stop. Same for transactions. Some will refuse to work on Amazon.de for months, then start working. Some physical cards will work on contactless terminals then completely stop working or become unreliable. (The workaround is to add them to Google Wallet).

One interesting thing is that even when banks insist you notify them that you're OS, if you keep using your card OS they will just accept it and ignore the period you've stated as being OS.
And why would I pay them for the privilege of them spying on me?
No hate, and good on you for thinking about it deeply, but this is a terrible idea. The primary thing you want to exhaust from bathrooms is humidity. You want the shortest, straightest path out of the house for that 100% humid air. Recirculating it will create untold horrors of mold all the way downstream of the bathroom. It’s also unlikely to be allowed by residential building codes, or passed by any inspector.
What's the alternative? Drop cover and hold on at least avoids injury from attempting to move on an unexpectedly moving surface.

When the ground stops moving, then you have a chance at purposeful motion.

Based on the turnout at the Northwest Chocolate Festival last month, I can confirm it has exploded :-)
Programming random small toy stuff that catches your interest is fun, as is making something you really believe is useful.

But when you design a project I a way that's not appropriate for your resources, and it becomes an overwhelming pile of bugs, because you tried to do something really complex and reinvent 20 different wheels, it's less fun, unless you can polish it up to be like what you imagined, but that could take years depending on how crazy your idea was.
It's indistinguishable from Netscape running on MacOS 8.

This was by virtue of WebKit itself being (relatively) small and fast. I don't know what they call "the core component", it is quite misleading.

I used the last version of Uzbl in an old Debian container to debug a game I made specifically supporting the iPad 2, which is quite resource constrained, because Uzbl was based on a similar version of WebKit. WebKit somehow had to fit the iPad 2 and still be quite fast, so Uzbl, which is very bare-bones, felt very fast indeed on a decent computer.

I was looking at similar browsers, apparently epiphany (Gnome Web) is the only remaining open source browser based on WebkitGTK+ that's still maintained. Last version of Surf was released in 2021, Midori is actually a Gecko browser which I need to check out [1]. I guess someone could contribute and update Surf or Uzbl or fork the old Midori.

I appreciate the math check. I was skeptical, double-checked my numbers, and checked again:

You're right, my math was wrong. I set up a dimensional-analysis grid thing from decades ago in physics class, and instead of 5lb on the top and bottom, I have 1lb being equivalent to 2260g, which makes the total cost for these ~3.5 cups of seeds per week about 3 USD.

The cheapest 5-lb bag is the brown lentils ($6). Wheat is $7, black beans $8, aszuki $12, garbanzo $13, and mung $14 per five-pound bag.

As someone generally turned off by sensationalism, I'm feeling rather hypocritical now...
