I would guess because natural gas has hundreds of years of us handling it, and we already have a lot of things from power generators to domestic driers that consume it.

But most homes in the UK are single family homes (66%) and women changed from having 2.4 kids on average in 1970 to 1.66 in 2021, so you would expect household size to fall.

Is the long text purely for SEO or because a longer page gives more opportunities for ad impressions and higher engagement metrics?

I suspect if you told these 8 graders who “can’t subtract” you were going to give them $100 and ask them for $110 back you’d find they understand both subtraction and negative numbers.

If you are competitive with a naturally low hematocrit level you have more “headroom” for doping to unnaturally boost your performance, and vice-versa.

Lance had a naturally low hematocrit for a road cyclist, which made him respond disproportionately strongly to EPO. He’d have been mediocre off the sauce in a clean field. The end.

The point of anti-rollback technology is to make it so security holes are patched permanently: an attacker can't unwind updates back to the point at which the known exploit works.

A family that took a similar grant elected to stay recently: https://www.rte.ie/news/connacht/2023/0531/1386545-aran-isla...

It makes an island sound like a start-up - it's a smaller community with fewer resident experts, so all the skills a person brings are potentially valuable.

Just to be clear, The Grayzone has been pushing stories that echo Russian propaganda talking points (The British wanting to bomb the bridge between Ukraine and Crimea Ukrainian leadership are Neo-nazis etc). They're not bastions of the Free Press.

The press should be allowed to operate, but I'm done with right wing bloggers dignifying the spreading of conspiracy theories as "journalism".

Your skepticism is justified. Oura publish their data, and to quote them:

>Oura ring was 96% accurate in detecting sleep compared to polysomnography, 48% accurate in detecting wakefulness, 65% agreement in detecting “light sleep,” 51% agreement in detecting “deep sleep” and 61% agreement in detecting REM

So it's basically wrong with sleep categorization about half the time.

Much, fast, maintainable: pick two.

Motive?

You can fire up GPT, not issue a command, and it'll just idle there until the hardware fails.

Granted that's also the one thing I hope we don't "solve" for.

Some cities are the state! (Singapore, Vatican City, Monaco)

You can't have property simultaneously be affordable and a tax advantaged investment vehicle.

I understood Skodas are usually _next_ gen Volkswagens. At least when I lived in Europe they always got the new chassis/engine/gearbox to beta before it rolled out to VW, did that change?

This can also be understood via Gestalt principle of visual processing - we visually group things that are proximal, we like to perceive continuity, we see parallel things as being related etc: https://www.superside.com/blog/gestalt-principles-of-design

Visual designers are architects are trained in these aspects of human perception.

There's the benefit of figuring out mass market car integration. It may be we have to rethink what a car is - competitions like the American Solar Challenge show you can run minimal cars for thousands of miles on solar: https://www.americansolarchallenge.org/ - which is great, but they will never address mass market industrial engineering.

That was, for me, the least interesting of the failure modes mentioned, the most alarming being:

> The phenomenon behind this is called creep rupture—the disentanglement of the molecules of plastic over time, at a stress level significantly below the yield strength—yes, below the yield strength—of the plastic.

Right: nobody, not even billionaires, can afford to do this ever again. Seems like a win condition to me.

I think they're trying to say if pubic schools worked ideally the demographics of selective high schools would reflect the demographics of the school district.

Don't have kids.

With no insurance?

I think it's a cultural thing - the stories just don't follow the Western narrative arc.

Does anyone know how they are doing lensing? I know smart phone senses are magic compared to what was possible twenty years ago, is this borrowing tech from there?)

(You can't just put a screen on your eyeball, you can't focus that close)

It's spelled g-u-a-r-d-s g-u-a-r-d-s

> This surge of infections underscores the indisputable fact that schools are and remain essential sites for pediatric infections and community transmission

Don't just assert it's indisputable, point to your evidence. We had a couple of close contacts in our elementary school class but of the parents I know whose kids got it, transmission was social from the outside the class, and masking and quarantining prevented further outbreaks. I know that's one anecdote, but it's already more evidence than presented to back up the "indisputable" claim.

Indeed, an NIH funded longitudinal study on alcohol kicked off in 2014 and it was shut down for being tainted by industry money: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/health/alcohol-nih-drinki... - you can't necessarily even trust publicly funded science when it impacts large industries.

I might be misunderstanding again, but with DAOs it seems like you go from "one (wo)man one vote" to "one token one vote", which exacerbates the worst of money-in-politics - any entity with sufficient influence can literally be bought out.

> "I think open, transparent and permissionless systems replacing trusted central authorities is good for the world and can rebalance and decentralize power.

Does this not just shift the power to people who can manipulate the zeitgeist? I imagine a Tucker Carlson demagogue but with the ability to materially affect machinery with economic and social consequences. Imagine things like publicly shaming and doxing everyone who owns the wrong kind of NFT, or is a stakeholder in the wrong kind of enterprise.

> I’m hopeful that the financial exuberance in crypto markets can attract brilliant minds away from selling people ads to instead build a more equitable and cooperative future.

1) The people I know who are genuinely fighting for equity are not attracted by the promise of riches. The financial exuberance actively attracts the wrong crowd.

2)I'm also interested in addressing inequity, but if one were to seriously try to build systems with equity and cooperation as goals, why would blockchain technology be a good choice knowing what we know in 2022?

The story is how

1) there are systems in place to stop this happening.

2) there are system in place to investigate if it happens.

3) the systems in 1) are circumvented

4) the systems in 2) are stymied

This means the systems have been corrupted. It means the US military can claim to care about those things but actually acts entirely contra to those stated principles. This is more cynical than not pretending to care.

What is this green card prioritization mechanism you allude to?
