Take it to your next local HAMfest!

He may have innate or adaptive immunity to salmonella already. I wonder how many dice rolls it would take to hit one of the antibiotic-resistant strains that are able to prevent immune system response.

I'd guess they've earmarked a bunch of additional 'venture' capital so Summa can eat other Ohio hospital systems. Big market opening up around New Albany, maybe build some facilities down there.

This book is so great. The author _invented Spanning Tree_ and it's still a great foundational text along with Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated vols 1&2.

Hardcopies of all 3 are dirt cheap and eternally valuable for the endpaper diagrams while inspecting packet captures alone.

Ever read Vonnegut's _Player Piano_? Eventually there's just no real work to be done, unless you want to invent even more bullshit jobs for the FIRE sector.

Every F500 company is Almost There on automating absolutely everything through ServiceNow and that's without AI being in the mix yet.

There's always going to be a place for coders who can massage the API links between packages or run an ERP, but you don't need IT when your firm is disposable line staff, institutional knowledge lives in the codebase, and HR has mostly been replaced by Workday.

UBI when?

Global methane emissions are estimated at 570 million tons annually.

Nordstream explosion is thought to have produced 155 thousand tons at the high end.

~.0004% bump.

Taking a trip to Newcastle presumably.

Worth pointing out Grimes and this fella were emulating/riding the coattails of the Miss Rockaway Armada who’d been doing their thing for a few years at that point [0].

This is happening in Ukraine with motocross-style ebikes carrying 2-man teams with Javelin missiles.

Guy who once fronted a band called Rapeman finally grows up. Kind of inspiring really.

I don't think we'll be seeing this sort of turnaround from Jim Goad.

Your friend is doing good work. 'Fresh Air Poultry Houses' is one of my favorite instructional books on any topic.

If it's any consolation, I believe Five Eyes access puts a nation above any old NATO member in adjacency to US hegemony and will become even more of a geopolitical asset in coming decades.

But yeah any amount of reading about the CIA in Aus, especially 1975 stuff, makes the power relationship clear.

I believe that is "gut wrenching scream and fall into distance"

I associate it with the original doom but the second link shows prior use.

This appears to be the original un-distorted effect: https://youtu.be/9rTa6HMi3R4

Author is right about one thing for sure: Nature's Metropolis is a hell of a book.

Saxondale is the better character/bit.

I have interacted with more than a handful of job postings where the invitation to create a take-home deliverable was clearly a) an attempt at labor theft or b) a manager using the process to catch new buzzwords and troll for ideas to take to their team, which is still a form of labor theft.

At this point I view the practice as a signal the position wouldn't be a good fit for either party.

I like that approach, because I know from experience eBikes and large-battery trailers are very useful for road trips.

Swappable batteries are the solution to both vehicle weight and range/charging dwell time.

The missing piece is a standardized form factor - I hope the EU parliament or California legislature are working on something to nudge things in that direction.

They likely had a compliance box to check and a limited number of approved vendors.

For the use case of enterprise network monitoring and alerting, with integration of netflow and DB or application-level stats, there are very few effective competitors. HP OpenView probably exists in some hopelessly outdated form under a new name, but every other NMS seems to involve baking a lot of custom scripts or else is cloud-centric.

Guessing you meant ‘Persepolis’

Adam Curtis is great, but his stuff is better described as commentary. He basically does James Burke's 'Connections' [0] as polemic. Can't get enough personally.

[0] Burke's 'Connections' and 'Day the Universe Changed' are definitely worthy of mention on this post.

Allow me to recommend Kim Stanley Robinson’s _Icehenge_.

Swiss Cheese Model.

I’m very pleased with my Boomerang - I haven’t tested the alarm function out of consideration for my neighbors but it’s got the battery life I found lacking in smaller trackers. I hope the next iteration has wireless charging or a more robust waterproof port cover.

From experience tracking down a different GPS module and stolen bike: If you tell the kids who answer the door your bike was lost and there’s a reward for whoever found it, things go more smoothly than getting the cops involved.

The photographer Will Pearson documented Control Room A several years ago with a 360 camera [0]. Click 'Launch Project' for panorama.

Control Room B is basically made of Cybermen [1].

Turns out that’s what the appendix is for!

In addition to conveying information well, this comment motivated me to find Foreman’s cited work. My library even has the audiobook!
