All PFAS is not created equal, the phrase 'pfas bad' is about as illustrative as 'nuclear bad' since pfas molecular half-lives range over 10 orders of magnitude in time (and probably more as people explore femtosecond chemistry
).

Half of new pharmaceuticals are pfas for example, lipitor, xanax, flonase, etc.

I use Walmart pay with their app. But then again we’ve totally given up buying off Amazon and do grocery pickup or delivery from Walmart. For 90% of items this is faster than we’d get it from Amazon.
For hedge funds that are active position takers and not trading at very high frequencies, Python should be fine. For high-frequency trading firms aka market makers, C++ is used heavily. Python is much easier than C++, so I suggest starting with it, augmented by packages such as NumPy and pandas.

You could ask your question at the Wimott or NuclearPhynance forums (after checking if a similar question has been asked recently) and check what job ads at eFinancialCareers specify.
Advertisers truly aren't people.

That was crazy, too—last year I saw them get down to the $350 range (almost bought a couple more at that price)... and yesterday when I went to check on them I noticed they're up to $530!

When I bought my drives a couple years ago they were around $400. I wish there were more options for 4-8 TB SSDs that went for capacity over performance. Honestly I would be happy with some larger lower-cost SSDs that ran at 100-200 MB/sec just for silent, low power capacity.

I for one would love a company that rents out “ragged out” vehicles for bottom dollar. A well maintained toyota etc. lasts 20 years. Rent me the fully depreciated vehicle and reap pure profit. Not to mention not worrying about every little dent or scratch. Sounds like a dream rental to me.

Side note: when renting in other countries, I always ask for the worst looking beat up car that they have. Really is less stressful to drive around.
Hmmm. Compared to Google Docs and Google Drive, Microsoft's collaboration is just bizarre.

Yes, under ideal conditions, teams of people technically could use Microsoft to edit and review documents online at the same time. I have yet to see it in a real world setting. Often times, where I work, we just get confused by OneDrive's links vs direct sharing vs personal onedrive vs sharepoint onedrive. And we end up sharing multiple copies of the same file on Teams which is another source of confusion.
I've rented in my town for ten years, and I care about it a lot thank you very much.

Methane and its siblings (methanol, ethanol, ethane) are used as a basic feedstock for more advanced chemical processes, like plastic synthesis, or drugs, or plenty of other organic compounds.

Obviously the easiest one is "store, then burn it for energy", but it seems to me, with this technology, that methane or propane powered vehicles might see lower fuel costs. This process would just make them carbon neutral.

That's a fair point, but "ai does the work and humans clean up the mistakes" is generally a lot faster than humans doing all the work. Singing well takes skill (even when you have autotune), splicing together multiple "takes" into one good recording, less so.

Haha, maybe there are some tools where you can make a movie on a piano!

But that's the point: most people don't realize they are being funneled into this limited expression. They don't have access to the web-equivalent of a piano or a movie making tool, to let them author web content, hypermedia, as a first class citizen.

Not just limited tweets, posts, etc. It could be so much richer, and yet it's not. Don't you think that's strange, and strange that everybody adopts it?

Those tools, FB, Twitter, etc -- it's just not a creative free expression. But it could be!

It probably sounded like I was dissing the very creative tools you listed. I wasn't! Not at all. I'm a big fan of processing, check it out, these are my sketches from 13 years ago, even back to the days of Java: https://openprocessing.org/user/15252 -- and here's some videos of some of them: https://www.youtube.com/@TheCrisfolio

The point is not that there are no tools for creativity, it's that the biggest tools for expression for most people are not that creative. They restrict the authoring of hypermedia as a first class citizen. Self-evident limitations, right? Like you say. But what's not obvious to most people is how limited those companies actually make them, and yet how much that could be opened up.

So we get the bland commons. We think we're being so creative -- we are in a way -- but we're also not. Is that just people or is it a lack of tech? You know what I'm saying? Or you don't really get it?
Chilling. Shutting down press is never a good sign, is it?
But if Americans follow the reasoning to put the most important information first, then why do they say "March 5th, 2024"? With that reasoning shouldn't it be "2024 March 5th"?

For spoken communication you could even extend it to "Anno Domini 2024 March 5th", following the common pattern in spoken language of adding somewhat redundant filler to indicate something worth paying attention to is coming up.
They’ve only recently started commercializing them in Spain as far as I’m aware, so a gentle reminder for people like me was perfectly in order too. Hats off if AI can write with such a fine attention to detail.
That's incorrect. The voluntary phase-out covers all PFAS inclusive of shorter-chain molecules.

The most likely replacement are food-grade silicone alternatives. Silicone alternatives are also being used in waterproofing rain jackets, etc. (see Patagonia for example, who started by using C6, shorter chain PFAS, instead of C8, but now has switched to PFAS-free)
We'll eventually get to the point where anyone willing to jump through these stupid hoops is primarily motivated by greed.
Burning off excess methane is always going to be a problem that needs to be solved regardless. There are just too many small, remote sources that aren't likely to ever justify the cost of infrastructure build out to use on grid. For example, landfills are a big, distributed source of methane that aren't going away.

Bitcoin miners are the most commonly touted solution here, because you can drop in small modules of generators+miners with no infrastructure other than a satellite link.

Funny enough, with carbon accounting rules giving huge incentives for efficiently burning waste methane, a small percentage of the bitcoin mining network doing this could actually make bitcoin the only carbon negative industry on the planet (from a carbon accounting perspective, not literally).
If it takes thirteen interviews for someone, or a group of people, to know if I'm worth hiring, then I would assume they have no idea what they're doing.

> make a person practically uninsurable, along with scuba diving, [...] and private aviation.

I don't know about motorcycle racing, but scuba and private aviation are plenty insurable. $1M 20 year term life goes for ~$100/mo if you're a younger pilot. There will be a somewhat smaller set of insurers to choose from, and a couple of outliers who try to charge you way more.
In a way it would.

If a software project has hundreds of dependencies, finding that one that was compromised is hard, impossible even.
But if it has three dependencies (that aide in the core functionality) keeping a keen eye on them is much easier.

When I look at a typical `node_modules` or `pipenv` directory, I see there's absolutely no way I can vet that all is safe in there.
When I look at my typical cargo tree, the four or five dependencies (of dependencies) are doable to just go over every so often.

Automation helps. But that doesn't give me the confidence that just opening the project pages of the stuff that I use, once every few months does for me.
The expense of saffron is overblown. You really don't need much for entire dishes. A few strands of saffron can flavor and color a whole pot of rice, enough for six people. A gram of saffron might have dozens of strands!

You have to use it properly - grind it in a mortar/pestle with some hot water, and then use the aromatic water in your cooking. This method gets much more of the flavor out.

Many cultures that grow saffron, they themselves use safflower and lower grades of saffron to add just color, if not flavor - without breaking the bank.

I mean if you're gonna f_ck me in the end anyway, at least have the decency to buy me dinner first.
If a nation-state then revealing themselves could cause a serious diplomatic incident. If not a nation-state then revealing themselves could expose them to criminal prosecution.

This is the primary way for citizens to acquire wealth too, and the primary source of boomer wealth. The politics of this thing transcends the current Red/Blue paradigm, at least until battle lines will get drawn with various policy prescriptions and the winner/losers of each of them chooses a side.

> On the flip side, imagine if a crony in the EPA could arbitrarily ban products from companies that didn't donate enough to a certain political party.

That's a silly strawman. In that case you'd sue for inappropriate regulation and win, just like this case, but better because you'd be right. The EPA's charter doesn't allow for political fundraising, it would be a trivial case to win.

The complaint here isn't that courts shouldn't have the ability to oversee government agencies to make sure they're doing it right. The complaint here is that the fifth circuit is deliberately interfering with the operation of a government agency doing what it is supposed to do.

> Itemize the marginal cost of maintaining your property's parking lot for those customers who visit your business by car

This isn't that uncommon, quite a few places in Europe do this actually.

Usually there's a barrier at the parking lot entrance. You get a ticket when entering, which you then have to put in a machine when leaving. The machine calculates your fee based on how long your car was parked. Modern systems are far more automated and use license plate readers instead.

What this article or any other I've read on this topic doesn't tell me is-- what is this Lavender tool doing exactly? Facial recognition? Or something else? Is it choosing targets in real time based on incoming tracking of... vehicles? mobile phones? video? satellite imagery?

The caveats that the system has a "known 10% error rate" is almost laughable. For one, I assume that was an artificial target rate set by the funders of the system, that's being met based on completely artificial benchmark data. But whatever data it's based on, the situation in Gaza currently is so chaotic that whatever inputs it's using to make its "suggestions" are surely suboptimal.
I work on a design system and I'm responsible for the DateInput / DateRangeInput component.

Jumping to a specific year is a bit of a painpoint for me.

My component is composed of a text field that accepts dates in many formats. On focus it displays a dropdown with a calendar very similar to Cally (including the next/previous month buttons). As user enters a date in the input field, the calendar updates. The user can also use the calendar to pick a date in the same way as Cally, which updates the input field.

My argument for this being fine is that when a user is entering a date far in the past (or future), such as the date of birth – surely they prefer to enter it in the input field via keyboard, instead of clicking all around the calendar dropdown. Alternatively, perhaps an entirely different component should be used in that use case – perhaps a set of three text fields (limited to numbers).

I semi-regularly get feedback from the business analysts that they would like to have a way to choose the year in the calendar dropdown, but I'm not entirely sure what would be the best way to enable that.

That's kinda the norm for dangerous sports, isn't it?

Motorbikes are dangerous; people often die riding. For many people the risks exceeds the rewards, and they choose not to ride. Other people have a greater appetite for risk, and choose to live until they die.

Sure, and bit for bit reproducible builds are useful in their own right, but what Nix provides is (effectively) reproducible environments.

I used to be a huge fan of Arch as well, but NixOS has significantly boosted my productivity over the last 8 years or so due to the simple fact that my system state is fully declarative and read-only.

I never have to stop what I'm doing to fix an unexpected change or broken update. Worst case I roll back and solve it later so I can continue working.

It may also be important to point out that while Nix cannot guarantee reproducibility at the bit level on its own (and no single make-style build tool could) it gives you probably the best build environment conceived to date for eliminating environmental sources of non-deterministic build behavior so you can narrow it down to specific build tools, dependencies, etc

Also worth mentioning that there is a growing contingent in the Nix community actively working on increasing the number of truly reproducible builds in nixpkgs at a steady rate.

If you walk beyond your own street you'd be "suspicious" in TFA's eyes (or of the people TFA is describing) because we really can't know all our neighbors beyond a block or two.
this is a really cool question!

i think the only plausible solution is that we don't know but we're just about to find out? as soon as the singularity hits we can ask the AI (...?)

then again, and thinking more broadly, all of life is one giant contest to guess the future, and later, to determine the future by taking precise action

so what you're asking means to try and guess how much of my current reality is predicted by AI (and more generally, by any possibly conscious actor) and how much is wildly unpredictable and chaotic?
Not exactly sure if you're being sarcastic or not. But I am for the wining and dining part, accompanied by a good interview it can be fun. The other 12 parts can be skipped.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on April 1 said the U.S. supports press freedoms

"So, as it relates to, and I think you're speaking specifically, at least the reports that we've seen is about Al Jazeera specifically. But it doesn't matter whichever, right? Journalists more broadly. But to those particular report, we've seen the reports, and certainly I'm going to refer to Israel for what they may or may not be considering.

But if it is true, if it is true, a move like this is concerning. We believe in the freedom of the press. It is critical. It is critically important. And the United States supports the critically important work journalists around the world do. And so, and that includes those who are reporting in the conflict in Gaza. So we believe that work is important. The freedom of the press is important. And if those reports are true, it is concerning to us."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't listen to much "modern pop" - the production quality of the biggest mainstream pop is _extremely_ high at this point, and while "worse voice" is obviously subjective, this really wouldn't be anything stand-out in that regard even if it didn't sound like a robot.
