I hadn't heard of Bitchat before, will need to check it out! Streisand Effect in full force...

I think they're being facetious, this is basically a distopian movie plot point.

Probably the most treasured item I own is a novel a good friend of mine gave me as a gift. It was one of their favourite books, and they'd highlight lines and sections that resonated with them by putting brackets around them using a pen. Coming across those sections, and learning a bit more about them in the process, is like finding little nuggets of gold.

But I get where you're coming from as well. I guess it just really depends on the context of who/what/why when it comes to reading.

Eucalypt forest fires are bad because the leaves are full of oil and when it's hot, dry and windy, they're extremely flammable and the fire races through the tops of the trees at incredible speeds, and jumps across large fire breaks that appear to be wide enough that they should stop it.

But at the same time the wood is also very dense, so makes great campfire wood, but doesn't burn so much in a forest fire, which is a bit ironic...

At most decent sized companies with a cyber security and network admin team, this is probably the fastest way to get disconnected from the internal corporate network with no way to reconnect.

Pro tip: Duolingo is a game and basically a dead end for properly learning a language. If you want to really learn, you need to build intuition, and that only comes from huge amounts of level-appropriate input. Find yourself some good native language podcasts that are targeted at language learners and native reading material. Search for "Refold" for a better strategy (no affiliation, it's just awesome), and make sure that whatever you do, you enjoy it. Language learning is a marathon, the fun is in the journey, not just the destination.

Looks like that's a different, though equally impressive fence... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo_Fence

I read that as the pass mark being able to identify human vs machine more than 50% of the time. At 50% it's no better than randomly guessing.

Spaceflight is not what you want to be picking as a point of comparison if you want to talk about funding government agencies.

Protips: Watch your instruments and take it super slow!

For you. Everyone's different, and I have no problem closing my laptop and psychologically switching from "at work" to "at home" almost instantly. But I absolutely appreciate that other people need the physical separation and temporal separation to make that switch. I don't begrudge anyone that wants to work from the office and commute each day. Please, do what works for you, but that's not what works for me.

Yep, we actually bought a bunch for our house after reading this article. Bang for buck for the device, filters, and power usage is difficult to beat.

Having bought basic archery gear for 3 people in the last year, unless you're talking about a toy longbow, $20 is not going to get you anywhere. Even buying the absolute necessities for a basic barebow recurve setup, let's list things off:

Riser, plunger, arrow rest, limbs, string, arrows, finger tab. That's the absolute bare minimum. You'll also probably want an arm guard unless you don't value your forearms. You can't do this for less than US$150-$200, unless you find someone basically giving away second hand equipment.

Yes! On average, my Orient watch runs about 15-20s fast per week when I lay it flat on its back at night. But when I position it crown down at night, it runs about 4s slow per week. I usually check it every Sunday morning, and if it's running a bit slow, then I'll put it on it's back for a couple of night to let it catch up. Haven't had to pull the crown out and adjust it for about 2 months now with this system.

Not to be too pedantic, but I think you have one too many zeros on that, unless you're playing 18 hrs a day, every day.

Those two vehicles have very different flight profiles, so comparing them is of limited value, but yes, that is the plan.

Also have to mention another big collection of these types of models which you can download and print for free at https://axmpaperspacescalemodels.com/.

They've been on my "one day" list for a while now...

More likely, people who are here are forced to implement security policies adopted by cybersecurity teams that have long since left the company, and the current cyber teams have no incentive or desire to changed said policies.

After listening to some of the samples and thinking how nice they were, I've just also noticed the morning bird calls outside my home office window, which my mind usually filters out and ignores...

They're lovely!

My wife has the Chemistry 2e books for her uni courses. She absolutely raves about them. Yes, compared to her other Chem books, the printing feels a bit cheap, and the typesetting feels like it could use some work, but in terms of content, they seem to hit the mark.

This is an interesting inclusion, would they be referring to copies of this book being sold on Amazon? Or usage in their documentation? I'm genuinely curious what the issue is with them...

Rather than free, I'd say the marginal cost would be more like what you could otherwise sell the electricity back to the grid for. eg. if you're paying $0.25/kWh to buy from the grid, and selling back to the grid at $0.06/kWh, then you're really "paying" $0.06/kWh in opportunity cost to charge your vehicle from your solar panels.

There's also the file system cache to consider, which Kafka famously leans on heavily for IO performance. If the majority of your consumers are reading the latest messages which were just written, these will likely come from the cache which is in memory. A consumer reading from the earliest messages on a large topic could conceivably cause changes to what's available from file system cache for other consumers reading from the latest messages, so they're not necessarily totally isolated. I've not taken measurements of this though to say it's an actual issue, just saying that I wouldn't dismiss it.

Considering you'd like to buy both a complete laptop minus the main board (to put your existing main board in), and a main board (to upgrade your existing 11th gen), I'm sure there's a solution we can find here...

Internal rate of return. Basically the rate of return you get on capital you've invested.

Our main state university had an open day as part of a national "Science Week". They had a bunch of Leica stereo dissecting scopes set up on benches with random aquatic plants, bugs and other stuff in small dishes, that looked like it was something that you just pull out of your local creek. People could come in and just take a look.

It was incredible. Zooming in on some of the plants, it was like there was a entire world in there that was completely invisible to the human eye.

It reminded me of Feynman's quote/lecture about there being "plenty of room at the bottom". It put it into perspective about just how much room there really was.

I clearly live in a different labour market to this conversation. How many places in the world is this common?
