If you find this hard to believe, I recommend reading this Forbes article [0] which gives some pretty stark numbers. I've included a few select quotes below:

> According to the sampling and monitoring work carried out by the Brussels-based body, almost 50% of the honey from non-European countries is cut with sugar syrups made from rice, wheat or sugar beet.

> All the 10 honeys entered via the United Kingdom were marked “non-compliant” and mixed with imports from Mexico, Ukraine and Brazil.

> Apart from the main fraudulent addition of sugar syrups, the report also alerts of the presence of additives and colorings and the falsification of traceable information.

So yeah, a considerable part of honey contains more than what's on the label and often isn't of the origin written on the label. As for outrageous, it is — beekeepers have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years — but nothing has been done to stop this on the policy side.

Roast My Idea
Hello everyone, please be honest about the this idea. Im building a multilanguage social platform with a Speech to Speech model. Why? There are over 7000 languages, 40% of the world population only speaks their native langugage and 75% don't speak english. This will solve the communication barrier and expand the reach of content. Looking for angels btw.
Of course, China has also been a very different animal politically. There's also the whole demographic equation which factors into Japan, China, and (at least eventually) the US.
From the fine article itself:

> If you wanted to have this thing completely isolated though, you could have a no-outbound-internet subnet with this device on it so long as the device you are going to run the script on has line-of-sight.

> You can do this because Tuya devices have a local-only protocol that tinytuya supports, so you can send commands just within your LAN.
Serendipitously comes one day after this story[1] was on the front page: at least one Debian maintainer failing to realize the risks of non-alphanumeric usernames. "What could go wrong?" Well, here's Git allowing branch names to contain dollar signs, backticks, etc., because "what could go wrong?"... and... well, this could.

Names are identifiers. Allowing identifiers to contain anything besides identifier characters merely opens new and weird attack vectors.

If you brake too late, you often end up going below the minimum speed to avoid going off the outside of the track when you find out your grip wasn't as much as you thought.

Obviously, you want to brake as late as possible while still reaching the minimum speed demanded by the radius of the turn and your tires/downforce, which keeps your average speed as high as possible before the turn. But it very easy to get in a habit of braking too late, overshooting the turn, and taking a sub-optimal trajectory, which would be passed by someone who braked sooner and used some additional physics concepts.

The absolute fastest way is to brake as late as possible without overshooting, start the turn while you are about to let off the brakes (when the weight of the car has shifted towards the front wheels while braking, so you get more grip on your tires which are doing the steering), and as you let off the brakes, the car has rotational inertia that carries through the turn without needing the tires as much. (but too much rotational inertia = spinout.) Once you have the rotational inertia, you can start giving it gas before you finish the turn, and if the car is RWD, use the engine/oversteer to both increase your speed again and give you extra force pushing you through the inside of the turn. (By getting slightly too much inertia at the start of the turn (but not enough to spin out), then at the end of the turn, when your car would go off the outside of the track, instead have it slightly over-rotate the turn, so that you can use the engine to angle your forces both forward and into the turn, to help you finish without going off.) This way you get to use the engine to make some of the turn instead of the brakes for all of it, which is obviously faster. Then straighten the wheel when you've exited.

Drifting is just over-playing into the above mechanics, getting too much inertia too soon and doing a sideways burnout while countersteering (to bleed off the excess rotation) through the turn to look cool. The fastest is halfway between drifting and "driving naive", aka braking early and coasting through like normal road driving.

I play racing sims and couldn't win consistently until I understood all the above.
Wow that’s cool
I have a personal rule of not taking videos or photos at any concerts or similar events for 4-5 years now.

I remember all the events more vividly, have a couple of interesting mental notes from all of them, and all of them are great material for conversations.

Also, it has the benefit of not watching the whole thing from a small screen which is fed from a tiny sensor, trying to keep image stabilized and convert the whole event to a challenge to capture low quality video (or set of photos) which I don't revisit.
traveling alone doesn't help you find jobs, because you meet other travelers and random locals, but it doesn't help you build a network even if you are not shy introvert.

my strategy was to look for jobs in the places i wanted to go to or take remote job offers and then visit or move to the places of my employer.

that is what allowed me to spend a year in new zealand for example.

that's where i learned that new zealand is not a good job market. that's why i left again. i only got there because pike programmers like me were not easy to find.

I doubt it will matter. Here in Iowa, where deer are almost a pest, there are maybe 100 per section. There are several families per section, by and large.

A deer can feed a family of four for four days. That's all the calories there are in there. Now, you don't eat just meat. But say, 10% meat. So that's 40 days, that's 9 deer per family per year at least.

That means all the deer will be gone in a few years. If they let hunters shoot them all, which they don't.

I don't think it can matter. Folks have some romantic idea about hunting your own food, but that hasn't been practical for a century by now.

Require might be too strong a word, because they do have the built-in OS policy controls plus all the 3rd party security tools, but TPM-based security enables a lot when you manage PC fleets.

Up until recent releases, fleets of PCs were shockingly vulnerable to off-the-shelf toolkits to dump credentials, escalating to root privileges, lateral movement, installation of remote access toolkits, and of course ransomware is the end game du jour recently, but data exfiltration happens as well. That's just one example of a glaringly vulnerable OS that's probably a rough explanation of most ransomware news stories.

Ops groups are by and large happy to see Windows gaining hardening features we've been seeing in iOS/Android, which helps both reduce compromise but also authenticate employees easier when there's a chain of trust around identity involving the device the employee's authing from. A benefit is that official Microsoft features like these reduce user friction and security risk in tandem, but the TPM has ended up as the answer when you assume your adversary will get into your kernel without one.

Thicker 'fondant' is for winter. Thinner syrup is for spring before the nectar flow gets going. Typically over winter the colony reduces in size, and the hive is reduced down to a single "brood box".

Supers (extra boxes) are placed on the hive when the colony is producing enough honey to harvest.

In theory the supplemental sugar shouldn't get into the supers.

Worse, I think. Federal law says you can transport a firearm in a locked case in a vehicle, in every state. But Illinois interprets that to mean, you can pass through Illinois (say on the freeway) and they respect the law.

But if you go off the route, say a couple miles off the freeway to visit a cousin as long as you are in Illinois, then a highway patrol stop can mean arrest and imprisonment.
TechCrunch has confirmed with sources close to the company that Meta plans to build a new, major, fiber-optic subsea cable extending around the world — a 40,000+ kilometer project that could total more than $10 billion of investment. Critically, Meta will be the sole owner and user of this subsea cable — a first for the company and thus representing a milestone for its infrastructure efforts.

Chevron was always ridiculous. There’s no constitutional basis for executive agencies filling in accidentally ambiguous laws with their own sometimes expansive interpretations. Interpretation of the law has always been the domain of courts in common law systems.

> Overturning Chevron just means that courts are no longer required to automatically defer to the executive branches interpretation of law where there is statutory ambiguity or silence.

That has _always_ been the case.

No. Repealing Chevron means that the courts can now be used to determine the _facts_.

I didn't downvote you, though I found your answer unhelpful. (I've now received 2 downvotes.)

10+ scripts with standard names ("clean", "test", "build", etc.) in a subdir added to $PATH seems to me to be easier to manage -- if the scripts are independent of each other. If they do have dependencies on each other, but the dependencies are "treelike" (meaning that for every target you might want to run, all of its transitive deps are reached via a unique path), it's still easier (than either make or Just) to have separate scripts, and turn each dep into a plain invocation at the top of each script. It's only when that approach starts to invoke deps multiple times (because it has become non-treelike) that either make or Just starts to offer an advantage.

I think if you look at this with clear eyes, you'll see that 100% of the value you feel you're getting from Just is actually coming from the naming convention that Just nudged you towards.

The by products come after processing the concentrates from mining.

The largest non-Chinese supply chain globally is Lynas, concentrates from toxic waste free mining in W.Australia are shipped to Malaysia for processing where pools of low level radioactive waste and associated acids are created as by product.

Texas, USA, very much wants in on having "oceans of toxic sludge left after the" processing:

The United States Department of Defence will contribute $US288 million ($442m) to develop Seadrift, with a view the construction will be finished by mid-2026. Lynas bought the southern Texas site in July last year from Dow and planned to turn first sod before the end of this year.

The exact thing in question might be slightly different, but nothing is new.

In the case of rents, the evil landlord raising rents and kicking people out is a trope you see in 1910s fiction. (probably before that, but I haven't personally read much fiction older than about 1910)
While "Uncle Bob" certainly hasn't uncovered any silver bullets, I find the criticism of him to be generally unfair. It's the same type of criticism that commonly targets anyone that actually sticks their neck out far enough to make concrete recommendations.

So many teachers, careful not to invite the ire of the armchair critic and ACKCHYUALLY know-it-all, will hem and haw, leading you into analysis paralysis regarding "best practices". That then leads to exhortations to "find what works best for you", acknowledging there are many "right" ways among all the wrong ways.

As I've gotten older, I appreciate teachers like Uncle Bob who provide a specific prescription and says "try it this way". I've discovered I learn faster starting somewhere concrete.

It's not as simple as saying that the downside for landlords is merely loss of their investment and that the downside for renters is homelessness. The risk of non-paying tenants influences market dynamics on both sides and impacts even landlords who never encounter non-paying tenants, and even renters who make all their payments perfectly.

For landlords, they have to be much more selective of which tenants they take, and deny rental applications for those with eg bad credit or incomes that are technically enough to cover rent but leave too little of a buffer. They have to either pay for some kind of insurance (I don't know if this exists but I would assume it does) or diversify across enough properties so that they're financially protected from the risk of getting a non-paying tenant. And of course, yes they may have to deal with the hassle of a drawn out eviction of a non-paying (and often intentionally or unintentionally destructive) tenant who will likely never be able to repay the landlord even if held liable in civil court, which raises their costs in aggregate.

For tenants, besides having those increased costs and income/credit requirements passed through to them, they also have to pay higher security deposits. But probably the biggest problem is the effect on supply. Small scale property owners (especially the kind that ends up becoming an "accidental landlord" because they eg bought a condo and then moved) are highly disincentivized from renting their property out, and when they do, they're highly incentivized to not put it on the open-market and instead opt for their personal network/word of mouth/in-group. For example, lots of large tech companies have internal housing rental groups and many properties may only be advertised in places like that, or within a tight-knit social group where there are real reputational risks to being a non-paying tenant.

Really the problem IMO is that excessively permissive rental protections are a kind of social welfare benefits that are purely born by one part of the private sector. If governments compensated landlords for unpaid rent and intentional destruction from uncooperative tenants (which they have done in some cases for eg covid, but these are often done ad-hoc so landlords can't count on them and adjust practices accordingly) who take 6-12+ months to evict, then most of these problems would disappear.

Numerous studies have concluded that honey does have a better effect on health than the same amount of simple syrup, at least.
