And it sat perfectly flat and didn't wobble when you set it down... ¯\_(ツ)_/

If only he had deliberately hidden top secret documents with national security implications, he could be eligible to be president...

What does "best" mean?

These both feature large central vacuoles, lending support the thesis of the article that the cubic growth in volume outstrips the quadratic increase in surface area for transferring nutrients and waste across the cell membrane.

> So when Clinton’s BP raided Elian Gonzalez That followed a court order. And many people were very upset about it.

>We’ve enforce immigration laws, policed our populace, and had to balance 1st/4th amendment rights against the interest of a functioning state for a long time. Nothing on this scale since the internment of Japanese Americans in WWII. And even that did not involve (AFAIK) the mass disappearances and torture of thousands of people.

> Here's why Bari Weiss delayed the story:

That is not accurate. It's her excuse for spiking the story.

I have nothing intelligent to add to this (other than wanting a phone that lays flat), but it's interesting that this thread has almost 1800 comments, far more than the iPhone thread (currently at 256) and the iPhone Pro thread (currently at 89). Maybe people are just excited to talk about a slightly different form factor?

Also worth noting that it took hundreds of millions (~1Bish) years to go from prokaryotes to single cell eukaryotes, and then another similar interval to get to multicellular creatures.

reading them would be hard enough, but editing them seems pretty darn hard.

How exactly would you suggest standing up for Yarvin?

There are ~100,000 mitochondria in a human egg cell-- I think that's a pretty tall order.

There are plenty of real issues with higher education, but the attacks on research are using protests and other things as a fig leaf.

We've seen this movie before, when Germany destroyed the world's leading research university system in the name of control and ideology. Most people would not want to repeat that, while it seems some in power feel differently.

I'm thinking perhaps the best place for a fusion reactor is 93 million miles away. It's already up and running, and we're making huge strides in energy collection and storage...

And is Seattle, “Jeff Bezos” says the crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime and exhorts you not to tax the rich.

Unfortunately, the German example is quite relevant these days. We seem intent on destroying the leading system of research universities in the world... ;-(

The Fed intervention was under Bush. The vast majority of the "COVID response" was under Trump. If you look at deficit spending by administration, you will also see that you have things backwards.

> just another nitpicking attack on DOGE I'm not sure that pointing out that DOGE is unconstitutional, a massive security threat, and not designed to save money but to consolidate power and punish enemies is nitpicking...

The "strong" man and his allies are the ones that crippled the legislative branch, except for tax cuts for the rich and appointing unqualified SC justices.

There was bipartisan (Republican-ish) immigration legislation with enough votes pass until Trump told people to vote against it, because he knew that he could blame the problem on his opponents and many people would believe him.

Note that none of this would be possible with Citizens United and dramatic media consolidation in the hands of a few oligarchs. ;-(

Making your own salad dressing is really easy and let's you have a salad you really like in a couple of minutes.

My recipe is basically what you have here, although I usually mix some balsamic and other vinegars, and add a bit lemon juice.

I went from feeling sorry for people who were "forced" to eat salads to craving them. (Side benefit of not having the afternoon urge to sleep.)

yes, and you don't have to keep in touch with everyone-- find the people you enjoy talking to, and just make a point to do it.

It took me a long time to realize that conversations are the building blocks of relationships. Want a relationship? You need to have conversations.

This may work in some situations, but unfortunately commercial building are typically very expensive to convert to residential. Think of an office tower with centralized plumbing and HVAC, with an open floor and no real interior walls. You've got to run plumbing and HVAC everywhere, add real(ish) walls, and depending on the size of the floor plate, there may not even be a good way to get light to the right places.

I didn't realize how rare (and precious) a commodity giving a shit is. I expected it to be the default state, but it's not. I remember calling a customer to apologize for a bug and having them console me with something like, "all my apps have bugs and irritations, but you're the only one who seems to care enough to call me and fix it promptly."

Great book. I remember reading it on the flight out to a job interview with an OS team. Thanks to the book, I sounded much more knowledgable than I really was, and I was more excited about the whole space than I had been a few days earlier. ;-)

(Got the offer, but didn't end up taking the job.)

I am not a doctor, but I'm guessing that your experiment would solve some problems and create others. If the immune system has nothing to deal with, it may deal cause more autoimmune problems (see the "hygiene hypothesis").

Seems like a software problem that they will hopefully fix. Teslas do this already.

Well, even beyond that, to ~3.5B years ago.

Water is a much more efficient heat exchanger than air.

I make a salad most days for lunch. Some variation in ingredients, but I can have a healthy meal in < 5 minutes that I actually crave and I have good energy through out the afternoon. If you had told me when I was younger that I do this and it's not a punishment, I would not have believed you, but highly recommend.
