Good time of year to donate (in the UK at least, as the tax year starts in April). Various ways to donate depending on your jurisdiction.

But do any of these setups help you with that? Ie. get a tax free company that is not under your name but under your control. And get an international bank account for that company plus an international debit card.

Plus you would need customers who are cool with paying you through an entity like that.
It seems to me like green fundamentalist see nothing but enemies and subterfuge everywhere. Hydrogen, biofuel, nuclear, switching from oil to natural gas where possible, the list goes on.

I don't have enough of an opinion to comment on anyone of them individually, but I notice a really striking pattern where every time the idea of alternative energy sources are brought up that are not wind or solar, whoever brings it up is accused of sabotaging the energy transition in some way or another.
This is actually a pretty interesting post about databases.
This depends greatly on the working definition of collapse. If your mere existence becomes illegal it doesn't really matter if the economy is technically still functioning.
So many flawed assumptions in this article

How about Google making flutter? How is that not an awesome attempt to make mobile app development unified and easier for developers?

Also, selling your car? No a more apt metaphor would be selling the lemonade squeezing equipment business that you also hold a monopoly in.

I’m not arguing for the merits of forcing Google to sell chrome, but I think the articles points are off based either way.

I like these themes about the seeming absurdness and banal transcendence of capitalist systems and work today. Fight Club also echoes.
Try Sidebery extension. It has nested tabs, workspaces and much much more.
Italy used to be similar (though they have seemed to be softening their stance recently). Austria is even more anti-nuclear than Germany ever was.
Exactly. It doesn't really matter.

If your tracker shows you walked 12000 steps today as opposed to 8000 yesterday, even if you actually walked 10500 today and 8750 yesterday, that's still progress.
DJI has those smart docking stations.

Maybe eventually each apartment will have one or it'll be subsidized by delivery platforms.
At least in the case of Apple I have met a couple people who work on the fitness products and their accuracy. One of the people does real world testing so they are diving one day and coding the next. Great work if you can get it and your hobbies align.

The lab setup you describe is basically what they have to setup to correlate their proxies to energy. I’d expect the variability is going to come as a factor of body efficacy.

I used to be in much better shape (resting heart rate in the 50s) but I’m not much heavier and haven’t lost much of the muscle I gained (70ish percent of my former one rep max achievable). My day to day non-workout energy burn is measured higher now than it was when my heart rate was lower for all activity levels. I don’t think that it’s true I’m suddenly +15-20% energy consumption simply because I put on 10lbs but rather having a 10bpm increase in heart rate is probably what is being measured.

Short of that though it does a pretty good job. If I’m doing things that are strenuous but my arms are stationary it picks up the work. Very old wrist trackers needed to have an arm pumping or otherwise moving to do anything aside from a pre-calculated “you are alive” burn.

Given the level of effort for what we get, I’ll take it as a basic way to answer “did I actually get some exertion from watching my 2 year old today?”

Well not quite :) Wrt what upper post said:

It used to be the case you could only exchange keys in person, but X25519 was introduced in 2016, and it was bumped to X448 in 2019. You can of course still exchange PSKs as it's currently the only post-quantum key exchange it can offer. QR-codes are not used, instead, imported strings are split into small segments that are typed manually. The program then does what it can do, to help the user identify typos.
All scientific exploration begins with the humble acknowledgement that there are aspects of our wonderfully mysterious universe that we simply can't explain (yet).

Curiosity then leads us to discover!
Is malware in ads not a problem anymore?
Agreed. If you want something more accurate you are going to need something more bulky and invasive. Like a heart rate monitor chest strap.

It's simply a trade off between convenience/cost and measurement quality.
You said "especially if you whisper" :-) for the skimming reader that parses as whisper the model. I have to admit I did it at first too.
So what happens if Google sells Chrome? Who will buy it? Will they be as advertising/tracking heavy as Google is? Is there any other reason to own Chrome?

Is it any better if Meta, Alibaba, Microsoft or any other big company with money to buy Chrome owned Chrome?

What alternatives in Europe?

My wife had to buy a car last year, wanted to buy electric and Tesla was the only one that was ready to deliver within a month and at a decent price per features.

Don't care about Elon but in the end all these corporations building the cars are on the same level of general disregard for the population or environment and just chasing profits. Doubt there is a real ethical choice when buying a car nowadays
You're the author of Glicol, right? I've definitely had my eye on trying it out for a while. The karplus-stress-tester is great; I'm currently using message ports, because they seemed most accessible at first, but I'm happy to know there are other, and better options. I have done quite a bit of hand-optimizing of the code here, and while I think there's probably juice left to squeeze, it has become apparent to me that wasm is probably my next stop.

I've written one other AudioWorklet at this point, which just runs "inference" on a single-layer RNN given a pre-trained set of weights: https://blog.cochlea.xyz/rnn.html. It has similarly mediocre performance.

Thanks for all the great tips, and for your work on Glicol!
Wow the syntax is beautiful!
Another fun fact related to this is that when someone changes their github username, their actions break. Just a hilariously bad design IMO. There should be a repository in between with immutable versions.
Haha I am not worked up. I just care it seems.

I agree. Parroting some meme isn’t caring per se. But I was working under the assumption that the statement that it was the same names who keep doing it. If you say “Ruby is dead” 5 times a year it isn’t necessarily “caring” if it becomes 100 times a year there is something else at play.
I'd unironically be interested in hearing what economic benefit you think is coming in the next two years?

The nonsense tariffs being thrown at allies and uncoordinated destruction of government foreign aid/social services seem like net negatives to me. I could see the United States Bitcoin reserve thing bumping up the value of crypto, but that whole space is so volatile I would only put in money I'm willing to lose.
>I don't buy it, no brand can be accurate on energy expenditure because it depends on a lot more things than what the watch can monitor

To be fair, the comment you excerpted noted that the best performer was still just 71% accurate. So they’re saying they’re far from perfect.

>On watch, calorie counter is a function of time and heart rate.

Well, we just don’t know. But let’s take Apple as an example. Apple knows your workout type. And they know your weight if you’ve entered it. And lots of other sensors as well (O2, if possible, temp, accelerometers, etc).

They’ve put a crazy amount of money into their testing lab where they do have extensive metabolic rate testers, VO2 Max, etc.

Will they get as good as that equipment for a dinky watch? No. But I also am glad I don’t have to strap a face mask on during my daily bike rides.

Can they, with insane volumes of data and hard research, make pretty good directional inferences using models that match their watch sensors to gold standard tests? It seems the answer to this (both logically and in the research data) is yes.

This video is a decade old so they’ve only become more advanced and have more data since then, but there are lots of models you can build to power these estimates: https://youtu.be/BceaTNT14Ao

I’m glad you’re happy with your Casio. Keep rocking what works for you. But I’m not sure what’s so hard to believe here when other researchers have actually produced the data on their accuracy.
Wasm? It may seem like it’s still just a browser but I’m very grateful that bad ass people have been working on it
I generally use TikZ or Inkscape, or occasionally Asymptote, depending on the context.

Some quick notes about your app:

- No touch zoom/pan. Apart from that it worked okay on a Galaxy Note phone with the pen.

- I managed to make a shape vanish by (I think) rotating it quickly. I couldn't repeat that.

- The polyline selection seems quite broken. Draw a shape, then draw a polyline around it. Now you can't select the first shape, even though it's not obscured by anything.
I wish they included Oura in the research.
How do you pre-drill side paths ? Isn't being able to drill the hard part ? I am not saying it's dumb but from what I know about the industry (almost nothing) it does not seem simple at all
That's my takeaway from Ruby - syntax matters, and good syntax makes programmers happier
It makes fine sense…

It means all the data captured in the EU is governed by EU data protection / ePrivacy etc regulations and the CLOUD Act doesn’t apply

Whereas a US CDN vendor is captured by requirements the CLOUD Act and so there’s no guarantee of privacy for EU site visitors
When has capitalism been about maintaining key infrastructure? That’s what government is for!
Heard from where? How would they do that? Tutanota doesn’t have the key, the end user does. I keep hearing weird things about Turanota that sound like the types of rumors intelligences agencies who really don’t want people to use the service would start.

Musk was very effective in pushing the narrative that there was nothing before Tesla.
Why would it answer it? This is about RCS, not iMessage. No, Android will not get iMessage.
It is only shortly mentionned in the video but it seems like one of the main issues is what happens when water starts infiltrating your hole (it's unclear how much the glassified walls of the holes are a protection against that) and then you waste a lot of energy vaporizing liters and liters of water.

Unless... you close the hole at the top to collect the steam and have it turn a turbine to recoup electricity expenditures ?
>to delay a green revolution

There's no "green revolution". Just different compromises and tradeoffs, and practical considerations for roll-out times (including for solar, wind, and batteries - no free lunch.
Doing a bit of investigation with github_events in clickhouse, it is quite clear that the accounts used to perform the attack was "2ft2dKo28UazTZ", "mmvojwip" also seems suspicious:

No, because the custom block size is about reducing zfs r/w amplification.

Not to Google. Green bubbles were a big social shaming issue affecting the sale of Android. This is all in the US only afaik. So in other countries with a similar iPhone market share there isn’t a green bubble social stigma.
Note that these account seems to be deleted now - 2ft2dKo28UazTZ clearly did more than just changed-files and also seem to target coinbase/agentkit as well (Actually .. they might be targeted by the threat actor)
This is extremely common almost everywhere in Asia. Many places still have SROs (which were outlawed in the US decades ago) which is essentially just a room and (nowadays) a bathroom. No kitchen so the only cooking tends to be instant noodles. Virtually every meal is eaten out or via delivery.

It's not clear from the readme physically where the data is stored, nor where in the storage process the "congestion" is coming from.

I'm surprised there's no range scan. Range scans enable a whole swathe of functionality that make kv stores punch above their weight. I suppose that's more rocksdb/dynamo/bigtable/cassandra than redis/memcached, though.
5% over 100 years is historically incredibly low.

On average, governments last 250 years — which means we have a 0.4% chance per year. Using that figure, 100 years has a 33% chance of collapse — as our background.

Or roughly 4% per decade.

People wave off that risk because there’s not a lot that can be done: we don’t know how to make perfect governments and we’ve never discovered a good way to, eg, eliminate the ratcheting tax burdens that destabilize society.
are you using it in production yet?
> american people are overwhelmingly of the former type

HMOs, later PPOs, etc. in the U.S. seemed like a good idea, but health insurance wasn’t available or affordable for the minority. But there’s Medicaid, Medicare, the ACA, and much more, so the U.S. government has subsidized care and assistance.

Another “workaround” for unaffordable health insurance is going to an emergency room at a hospital, assuming you can get there, but many can. It’s slow as hell, but being seen in hours can be better than being seen in months. The downside is that this results in crippling debt for some. Bankruptcy can be declared, but then your credit is shot, and if you’re poor you may need credit.

Healthcare quality overall is quite good, though, even for the minority. It’s far from perfect, but compared to rest of the world, it’s not the worst place to get sick.

Now- why did an activist president, house representatives, and senators get elected that are cutting funding for global and U.S. healthcare? I can’t imagine it’s not the fault of foreign actors and the ease of manipulating 50% of the country through Fox News and social media. You wouldn’t believe how different the belief sets are here between that group and the rest. It changed radically in the last ten years.

The rest of us are far from indifferent to what’s happening. We just don’t know how to fix it. Protesting probably won’t change it, though we protest. Boycotts probably won’t change it, though we boycott. We don’t have enough in the government to even impeach, and what good would that do? They own all three branches of government. They used Gerrymandering and fired election officials, replaced leaders, subordinates, and did mass layoffs to ensure all future victories. They kicked certain news media out of the W.H. and are considering shutting other media companies down.

It all happened so quickly. Much more quickly than in the past in Germany or Russia.
What about the additional costs for delivery and online platforms? Both only apply for delivery and are quite significant. Takeouts should reduce costs, but delivery has significant costs added to each order.

The study doesn't say that those vehicles are in more accidents, but since the repairs are more costly, those drivers are more likely to claim:

A major factor contributing to this trend is that drivers of cars without these systems often choose not to file claims for minor damages. “They prefer to cover minor repair costs themselves to maintain their no-claim discount,” Nanne explained. “In contrast, damages in vehicles with driver assistance systems tend to be more complex and expensive, making it rarely beneficial for policyholders to avoid filing a claim.

There are two kinds of Christians, the Bible studying kind, and the one who hearsay.
Philosophical arguments like this are handled extensively in the field of (Christian) theology.
There are many things many Christians claim nowadays are not biblical.
Imagine “physicists” start claiming things that no falsifiable, tested theories in physics attested to. Now do you call them physicists? If there are enough majority of them is doing it, do you say “physicists“ (as a generic term) now believes in so and so?
This the kind of situation that’s happening in Christianity. Because, the core believe is anyone can be a Christian (subjected to minimal check such as the basis of their salvation, some also include baptism), unlike in physics you need to be trained and qualified.
I’m not saying that’s right or wrong. But I’m pointing out the situation, so that one can understand, for outsiders one would say “Christian believe this or do that”, and for the “insiders” who really study the Bible and trained in theology and know differences between denominations for example, would be completely puzzled and say it is not.

I guess the former focuses on Christian as a social construct and includes whoever claim to be Christian or even influenced by Christian thinking. The latter focuses on Christian as what it is ought to be and knows that all are sinners, including Christians, and I’d fall short of the standards the Bible uphold. Among these Christians, they know that the majority of Christians has gone astray.
Sure there are a lot of people on blink-dev building good thoughtful features

But there are also plenty of people at Google etc who are convinced that advertising is the only way to fund the web and so build features to support that e.g. maintaining 3rd-party cookies, FLEDGE / Flock / Topics (and the rest of the deceptively names Privacy Sandbox)

Advertising is a massive invasion into our personal lives and via ad networks actors (sometimes hostile) can get access to data they have no rights to

None of the given descriptions have been too clear about what it is, though.

It appears to not be a drop-in solution for communication like Briar, so why make a comparison here in the first place?

Instead, it appears to be physical layer-agnostic (it doesn't care if it's run over internet or HAM-radio) infrastructure to build tools on top of. So,

* Is it an end-to-end encrypted overlay network like corporate VPN/Tailscale/Hamachi?

* Is it an end-to-end encrypted protocol between two or more endpoints like SSH?

* Is it an end-to-end encrypted messaging protocol between two or more users like OTRv3?

The entire documentation returned zero results for "Tor" or "onion" (routing), so what's the improvement over Briar+Tor?
They aren't that bad. Out of the FAANG lot Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google they are probably the one I'm happiest with. Facebook have gone crazy with ads, Apple are expensive, Amazon and Netflix are pushy for money. Google on the other hand has provided me with a lot of services I use daily for 20 or so years without really bugging me or trying to screw me over. They are not preventing adblock, just forcing going from uBlock to uBlock lite. If Google is a trash company what is this heavenly company that does such stuff better?
