NoNotTheDuo··on Job Corps: free, residential training and education for low-income young adults
If you think that all of the freshman that lived in the dorms went to every class, much less showed up on time for every class, I've got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you...

Not only the bird, but all of the associated verbiage. For example, Tweet and Retweet. Do those go away after changing the name and logo?

NoNotTheDuo··on How Apple names things
I agree with you. It's even worse for AppleTV.

AppleTV is a set-top box. AppleTV is an app that you can install on your AppleTV. AppleTV+ is a streaming service, which is also an app on AppleTV, but different from AppleTV. AppleTV is an Operating System for old AppleTV hardware.

NoNotTheDuo··on The mystery of blue honey (2010)
Some beekeepers have been known to add food coloring to sugar water, not for attention, but so they can better identify real honey that their bees produce vs “honey” that the bees have stored from the sugar water.

I'm with you. Read way too many horror stories that I didn't want to deal with it. I'm in the US and when we were looking for a new house a few years ago, one of the hard requirements was no HOA. We compromised on other factors, but not on the HOA!

NoNotTheDuo··on Ask HN: Tools to visualize data in SQL databases?
DBeaver is my choice. Saw it being used at Re:Invent by a presenter a few years back and switched immediately. I had been using SQLDeveloper and don't miss it one bit.
NoNotTheDuo··on Why is the Zoom app listening on my microphone when not in a meeting?
Perhaps they've been 'compelled' by the US Government to capture: 1: as much data as possible from their users. 2: recordings from specific users, but in order to hide their intentions, it's a universal "feature"
NoNotTheDuo··on Honey bees, Varroa mites and unintended consequences
I had not considered that selective breeding for less propolis producing bees may be a reason why traditionally managed colonies produce less propolis. It is an interesting thought experiment to ponder.

However, one thing that the article didn’t mention is that most managed hives, with removable frames, are made with wood that has been planed/sanded smooth on both sides. This makes everything uniform and easy to paint the outside of the boxes, but also limits where bees can/need to place propolis.

I have seen (can’t find sources at the moment) some beekeepers recommending roughing up the inside walls of the boxes - either with low grit sandpaper or a wire brush - so as to create a more ‘natural’ hive and thus induce the bees to coat the inside of the hive with propolis like they would do in a tree hollow.

NoNotTheDuo··on Show HN: Emergency Wallet Cards
I know we’re on a tangent, but this seems to go against most (all?) design decisions that the original author intentionally made. By that, I mean specifically, that the data doesn’t leave the user’s browser, isn’t stored, no tracking, etc. To order something like this online, you’d effectively be sending all of your most sensitive and important information to a 3rd party. Food for thought.

NoNotTheDuo··on The Problem with Perceptual Hashes
Even if the library doesn’t change, doesn’t the possibility of the list of “bad” hashes changing exist? I.e., in your example, a new hash is added to by Apple to the list at 11:30am, and then checked against your unchanged library.
NoNotTheDuo··on Apple scores 35 Emmy nominations, including 20 for hit series “Ted Lasso”
Ted Lasso is such a great show. I echo all of the other comments. Jason Sudeikis is from the Kansas City area and there a lot of Easter Eggs/Throwbacks to his roots. It was fun, as a KC resident, seeing some of these Easter Eggs on my screens.

- The opening scene shows Ted Lasso dancing in the locker room after winning a game as head coach of the Wichita State Shocker American Football team. This is a real university, but they haven't field a football team since the mid-1980s.[0]

- The background on his laptop during a video call with his son shows half of the famous Arthur Bryant's BBQ restaurant.[1]

- He wears a hat (or shirt?) with "JoeArthur GateStack" on it. This is an homage to four of the big/main/famous BBQ restaurants in the KC area: Joe's KC, Arthur Bryants, Gates & Sons, Jack Stack. [2]

NoNotTheDuo··on Regarding Michael Pollan’s New Book This Is Your Mind on Plants
In Pollan’s latest book, and in the original Harper’s article, he references the book Opium for the Masses by Jim Hogshire. After listening to the book, I went to the google machine and found that the book is readily available on Amazon, and even on Kindle!

I've heard a corollary to this. Kids often love to watch/read the same thing because they recognize the pattern and know what is coming up next. This gives them comfort and a routine.
NoNotTheDuo··on Developing MLB’s Automated Ball/Strike System
> I wonder if they considered having a couple of big lights in center field for the ump to get this info visually.

Another thing to consider is that the ump also has other responsibilities than just ball/strike. Keeping it audio only allows the ump to focus on check swings, catcher interference, and anything else that requires his eyesight.

> Also, are there any deaf umps? Will MLB need the ability to make accommodations if so?

Since they developed an iOS app, they could feasibly develop a watchOS app as well, and relay the call via vibrations on the wrist
