I appreciate that feedback! I'll fix those issues up. It's definitely a v1 sort of thing but my daughter's seemed to love it. And yeah UI is hard, this is my first go at that as a mostly backend engineer.

We honestly don’t know. Current safety standards mostly focus on preventing tissue heating, because that’s the one effect we can reliably measure and understand. But there’s a chunk of exploratory research out there looking at potential “non-thermal” effects—things like subtle shifts in cell signaling, membrane permeability, or oxidative stress—that might not show up as a measurable temperature increase.

So far, the studies that have been well-designed and replicated haven’t consistently nailed down a clear causal link between non-thermal EMF exposure (within the limits that regulators consider safe) and actual health problems. Still, some researchers argue that we’re not accounting for all the slow-burn, cumulative effects that might be happening. It’s not easy to tease out these subtle influences from the noise of environmental variables, and that makes it hard to really say we’ve got a handle on the whole picture. Check out Prof Michael Levin's Bioelectricity work if you want to go down a very interesting rabbit hole about what we're only recently discovering about how our biology might really work and how electricity and emf's shape it.

Not the man made kind, which are different from natural sources and greatly increase the background EM fields we live in.

Why are brazil nuts bad exactly? I eat a couple daily to help with symptoms from hashimoto's and test my selenium levels frequently since not all nuts are created equal.

Bram has a talk where he goes into the issues with Proof of Stake, centralization and categories of issues that don't exist in proof of time and space: https://youtu.be/2Zlcgt8FVz4?t=510

Chia team anticipates an S curve where adoption will level off and at that point it'll mostly be companies or people that have extra storage laying around and figure 'why not' store some plots on these disks to try to earn a bit of money. Or orgs plotting to new servers while they're waiting to be used, deleting plots as the storage is needed.

They also argue it's more green because if you don't want to store the plots, you delete them and the storage is still available as normal storage for other purposes. With PoW, you have specialized hardware that isn't useful for other purposes and you burn a lot of electricity all the time securing the network.

Tried connecting to MySQL 5.6.10a RDS Aurora cluster with username/password and SSL enabled, much as I'm able to do with other clients, but handshake fails with `140230041270248:error:100000f0:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL:../../third_party/boringssl/src/ssl/handshake_client.cc:568`

Maybe boringssl is too new for my version of mysql supported tls protocol versions?

Good trolling on his part. New twitter account with no credible info about him to be found.

Some context on how this list was curated and what it means would be useful.

I gave this a go today and managed to install huginn on my synology nas by simply searching for the docker container. I then setup 3 agents to scrape a Shopify webstore jason endpoint that I’m always checking for inventory, have huginn parse the json and send me an sms via twilio if inventory changes. Took about 2 hours, wasn’t too bad. Huginn twilio docs seemed dated.

Used python simplehttp server and ngrok to replicate a json url and play with the triggers to test it all before pointing it at a real website.

Nice to add a new tool to the belt, thanks!

This used to be true, that US doctors were taught to treat pain itself but now medical education is more aware of the dangers of addiction and abuse and hopefully new doctors don’t prescribe at the same rates or have the same falsehoods about painkillers being safe.

Why not elementary schools too? :(

I’m no archival expert but here’s my lazy mans 3 location strategy.

I use iCloud photos by default, then open google photos app on my phone every once in awhile to have a duplicate cloud sync ($2mo). Then when I remember every month or so I open photos on my Mac and copy everything over to my synology nas which houses a master iPhoto library that is hundreds of GBs at this point. Using iPhoto is probably a mistake here since it’s fairly terrible, but not sure how else to reasonably manage all my photos. I’ve tried Picasa but came back.

I’ve been burned by apps like everpix cloud storage that suddenly shut down and gave me only a few days to download nearly a terabyte of now unsorted photos. Similar thing with Sony cloudstation. I wouldn’t trust any single cloud storage provider from screwing you at some point.

That and their support is terrible. I had a google wifi AP die 3 days outside of its 1 year hardware warranty and their support told me, nothing I could do but throw it in the trash. They don’t repair them and wouldn’t replace it for me. Google also doesn’t have a great track record of long term support for hardware devices. Although with Nest division that might be different.

Which montage do you use and for how long?

Amazon is in constant development of secret projects to throw at the wall and see what sticks. Having worked on their hardware teams they’re constantly reverse engineering products and engineering new potential items that seem kinda out there or anticipating filling a market need that doesn’t yet exist. Swing enough times you’ll get some hits.

From what I recall zero downtime simply meant if a ilok went missing then PACE would assist you in replacing license(s) to a replacement ilok from their end. Trouble is often times you couldn’t quickly find a replacement ilok without a guitar center nearby and would still have to order it through avid store and wait for it to arrive if you didn’t plan for this.

I would still just do Whole Foods delivery and cook together if that’s what they’re after. It sounds like they’ve memorized the recipes if they really cook them that much.

Or order take out and save even more time and share dinner together.

Yup, our three floor building was 40k to repaint and fix a few custom windows (with plastic instead of custom wrapped glass) . Hadn’t been painted in over 20 years though.

Get a $8 chainmail scrubber and use only water to clean with. Cleaning my cast iron takes the same amount of time as my non sticks, with the exception that I take more care to dry it. Definitely an every day staple cooking utensil in our household.
