Insuring the building itself is far more risky when there's many tenants with relatively unknown risk profiles who could cause damage (leave the bathtub on all night, pour oil and unflushables down the drains and sewer pipes, put pizza boxes on the stove top and leave them on, smoke next to curtains, etc.). Not sure if that's the reason here.

> I reencode to get size down and make it more compatible with what I have.

I’ve heard that some setups struggle with higher resolutions and bitrates, which is compounded on 4K (HDR also with its own quirks for downsampling in post processing for playback on unsupported devices) versus 1080p. These factors are exasperated when direct play isn’t possible due to incompatible files, unsupported container formats and/or codecs, or insufficient bandwidth, especially when remote mounts, caching, and transcoding come into play.
Property boundaries aren't delimited by GPS coordinates, but rather a surveyor's instructions on how to locate the boundary from a set of known landmarks. In most US states, the Public Land Survey System [1] gives "meridians" and "baselines" for each region serving as the regional center. Radiating out, every 6 miles, is a new "township," with its corners serving as the local landmark for property boundaries.

> Eating 5lbs of Ribs every day and weighing 300 lbs is not healthy.

If you started at normal weight and ate 5lbs of ribs (or, till satiety) every day, with as much butter as you'd like, but ZERO carbs or artificial sweeteners, you'd never gain weight, much less get to 300 lbs. That's my point.

But don't believe me - this experiment has been done many times.

For anyone in Europe wondering what commercial options there are for this, the answer is KNX.

It's existed for more than 20 years and maintains compatability with old equipment. In my country basically every new commercial and multi-residence buildings uses it for control of lighting, heating, ventilation, etc.

It's not that cheap, but mainly as the market is commercial use. A presence sensor is around €100 instead of €20 for a "smart home" version, but you are getting much higher quality and guaranteed compatability - however I'd imagine it's cheaper than a full on DIY system like OP, especially if you value your time.

The big advantage of KNX is it is effectively decentralised. A switch and a light in a room communicate directly over the bus wire - so your Home Assistant server going down doesn't stop your kitchen lights working.

You can learn the basics in a couple of weekends and install the physical part yourself, or at least how to instruct an off the shelf electrician to do it. You do need to pay €600 for the software to program it, but there are regular discounts on enthusiast forums.

Somewhat related: The book When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm (by Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe) exposes the short-sighted, amoral, and insidious way the firm often operates and advises. There are many instances recounted (advising oil companies, tobacco, Saudi Arabia, the Sackler family on how to sell more OxyContin, etc.).

What made me most angry, though, is how they turned an insurer (AllState, if memory serves right) from a sleepy mom-and-pop shop that collected premia and paid most of them out again when a covered loss occurred into a profit-maximising entity whose bosses were "incentivised" with stock options and implemented McK's glorious plan to boost profits by making it incredibly hard for victims to get their rightful payments. Absolutely despicable.
I really like the new IntelliJ UI. It’s a blatant rip-off of VS Code but I like VS code so I’m fine with it. Removes a bunch of lesser-used features from the main view and feels a lot cleaner.

It's fun and clever, but is it true?!?! [or if you think it doesn't matter whether it's true and replicable, it's great salon chatter material, but that wouldn't be science, it would be something above Malcolm Gladwell-grade material.]

It's more from the "interesting-if-true" school of clickbait. It popularized the "amazing counterintuitive results!" school of airport books along with Ariely, Kahneman.

(Conversely, it did have a few benefits: teaching the layman about experiment design, correlation-does-not-imply-causation, instrumental variables.)

(The most plausible-sounding counterintuitive which Freakonomics radio program (on NPR) reported was the claim that participating in the FIFA World Cup tended to reduce overall internal corruption in a country, because if the sports ministry embezzled the money or didn't hire good staff and use it effectively (or at the most basic level, pay players' wages, facilities, travel, jerseys), the country's national team would tend to get beaten embarrassingly by their peers, and the outraged populace would demand reform, not just in sports but other sectors. However, better check if that was replicable or not; it should be, because international tournaments, World Cup player strikes or scandals plus Transparency.org rankings give us "natural experiments" every 2-4 years.)

Those streams and rivers exist. Look up industrial pollution in China, India or Vietnam. The manufacturing base which got pollution to that point is just geographically shifted.

When running industries, there is unfortunately no free lunch -- someone's paying the consequences. If not you, someone upstream who made the raw materials or any priors.
I feel like “microplastics are in our clouds” sounds like science hysteria, so I think tomorrow the scientist and geographer in me needs to figure out if I can see them through my own eyes at home or my university’s hydrology lab or something.
Agree with everything, but the way to do that is lower copyright lengths. A much simpler, cleaner way to solve the issue across all businesses with minimal government intervention and opportunity for corruption.
Exactly. I think we've grown spoiled. I've actually gone back to mostly books from the public library for entertainment in the evenings. When I get that desire for visual entertainment, I'll go catch a movie. It's the same laziness I think that results in people not voting and not spending a couple of hours helping out with charities instead of not doom-scrolling for a while.

Sadly.

However, I think that is about to change. Rapidly.

I see biomed as broken into 3 eras much like any technical field--alchemy, science, and then engineering.

The invention of PCR in 1984 is when biomed changed from being alchemy to being an actual science. The application of mRNA heralds the start of the era where biomed is switching to having progress from engineering rather than just science and some serendipitous luck.

And once something switches to being engineering, it can be accelerated by education and money.

Nowadays any discussion of gender differences offends some people. It's complicated.
Especially when TikTok is a known propaganda vector for China. China has weaponized TikTok in the West and it's past time to respond to what is actually a threat. There's a reason the TikTok equivalent in China is tightly controlled by the government and looks more like PBS than the cesspool foisted on the rest of the world.

When you buy something, you own it. If nintendo doesn't want to pay for hosting anymore, the ethical thing would be to dump the server code and the levels so that players can host the servers themselves.

Price delta is out of the box cloud orchestration value (imho). Most large enterprises would struggle to build this themselves (Mesos->OpenShift->Kubernetes/Tanzu/etc), so you’re paying for turnkey cloud on prem. Probably save in the long run considering public cloud margins.

Enterprise CIO doesn’t want a hobby project (attempting to cobble together internal cloud orchestration and infra), they want to be able to show immediate business value. You charge what the market will bear. I’ve seen many companies with thousands of employees and spending millions, even tens of millions a month, on public cloud providers and just flail, unable to get to steady state post transformation (even after years of trying). This is made for those folks, especially with Broadcom having VMware self inflict harm on itself with recent strategy decisions.

Half of adult men also smoke in China... who consumes ~50% of world total cigarettes, on the 1/3 of land that's not sand or plateau. 2.5 trillion cigarettes per a year smoked on 3m sqkm, or 2% of terrestial land. I don't know if that means anything, but if it does, it's not good.
I never understood why Hollywood insists on using A list actors to do voice acting for animated features. Most of the time it's not even apparent who's performing and I hardly find it a draw that some big name is listed on the billboard.

Three Gorges comes with its own battery setup. They can basically generate electricity on demand from that battery, assuming no drought. You don’t get that with wind or solar without separate battery setup. That battery could even be the three gorges reservoir itself if you can pump water back up (not sure if they have a bottom reservoir for that).
Thank you very much - was skeptical of the headline, looking through the comments to find an explanation, so thank you for delivering. Another important quote from your source:

> However, focusing on absolute case numbers does not take into account that the global population in the age group 15-49 increased by 45% and in the age group 40-49 (where most incident cases have occurred) by 86% during the study period (see Table S2).
Both, age specific and age standardized rates show no increase in incidence in incidence and mortality for the period 1995 to 2020 (Figure 5). Age standardized mortality declined substantially during the study period.
I found the episode, but although it cited some sources, can't see an actual publication with that finding, but other sources plus some plausible conjecture by people who are fairly informed:

Generally, everything that they didn't know would be useful or important. These are written on parchment, which has great durability over time, but sadly this means that very little of all the material that was written on parchment survives. This is because parchment is both very expensive and easy to recycle, which means that for most of history the second someone no longer values the material written on their parchment, they are going to wash that off and use it for something else.

Oh, absolutely. One example: You want to connect with someone, and it'll throw up a dialog box on whether you want to add a note, with two buttons "Add Note", "Send". If you now decide that you don't want to connect after all, or want to look up something before composing the note, and close the dialog instead - it still sends the connection request.

I stated the risk is lower in many parts. However the areas of low risk aren’t the ones facing insurance crises. It’s mostly fire prone areas being dropped. For example you’ll find no challenges getting insurance in San Francisco city or San Jose for the most part.
I think everyone agrees that it's much better to clean up pollution, but the problem is not really so much that we are bombarded with more pollution (in many places, especially in the West, most measures of environmental pollution are much lower than in the past), the problem is you are just constantly bombarded with more information. Some of it is valid, but nearly all of it is designed to scare you.

Just consider this study, which is simply bad reporting. Check out some of the other comments in this thread, but all of these numbers can simply be explained by the growth in the global population during the study period. Actual per-capita cancer deaths among young people are way down during this timeframe.
Not the person you are responding to, but I'm aware that the cloud is just other people's hardware. But that's usually what I intend to mean when I say that. My own hardware I have to power, maintain, reboot, dust, cool, etc. And if I talk about "the cloud" I usually am taking about an environment I can maintain fully through software, none of the messy hardware failures and temperature management I might need to think about at home.

I find it interesting that the rates of a whole bunch of these uncommon-but-still-prevalent differences seem to cluster around 10%. I can't help wondering if it stems from prehistoric humans living in small group of 20-30, so each band would have on average 2-4 of each, giving the group a wider range of capabilities than they would otherwise have.

Australia's drift was taking into account and standards were updated back in 2020. Since 1994 the entire continent had moved 1.8 meters north-east.

I'm sure the plate has drifted since the 2020 update and another update deployed when appropriate.
Yeah, that map looks a lot like developed world vs. developing world. So two major factors here almost certainly are:

1) Fewer people in developing countries are dying from other things than they were 30 years ago, for example malnutrition and maternal or infant mortality.

2) Better diagnostics and screening. Screening is a big deal, in a sufficiently immature medical system you'll have people who die of cancer that never even get diagnosed. Start doing better screening and you will find and treat these cases earlier.

The fact that one of the biggest increases was in prostate cancer supports this idea (at least to my layman's eye). Prostate cancer tends to remain benign for a long time so you won't catch it without screening.

If you look at the right-hand column you will notice, compared to the West, there's barely any cancer in Africa! (Incidence rate is very low) Of course that isn't because no one gets cancer in Africa, it's because much of the population has limited access to screening/diagnoses.

I don't think we need to leap to the conclusion that microplastics are causing cancer to skyrocket.

In the developed world it is almost all good news. Incidence rates are flat to down over the last 30 years. Death rates are flat to dramatically down due to improved treatment.
