Aside from the anthropocentric view that cells are relatively small because we are made of many of them, the increases in size of lifeforms past that of individual cells is a matter of exceeding thermodynamic and informational limits. I highly recommend the book _The Vital Question_ as an intro to the systemic view of this kind of biological complexification

In the masterproof example, the purpose of the sphered joint is whether the maker can draw and round every sphere while not compromising the rest of the shape. It is not the end shape that is important, it is how the craftsperson is able to execute it

While I don't endorse this particular theory, considering that something like a gotshall block or a fizzbuzz is proof of a certain skillset, it is certainly possible the corner balls being cones is not a comparable proof of work

SawStop actually granted Bosch a license to their safety patents for Reaxx some time ago. Moreover, they said during the hearing that they'd offer permissive public licensing to their remaining patents should this rule be made effective.

> You agree that Zoom compiles and may compile Service Generated Data based on Customer Content and use of the Services and Software.

This clause reads like the distinction is less about the contents and more about zoom's rights to use any content

By rightmost lane, do you mean the on/offramp? Otherwise, it's legally required in much the country to stay in the right lane except when passing.

I would be curious how this matches their age cohort, given the relatively recent aging of Congress relative to their constituency

Aside from their use with crypto, these are just nice looking pieces of hardware. Is there any word on whether you'll be able to run custom code on these?

To be clear this varies between slow cookers. As a rule they will top out at a simmer rather than a true boil.

This reminds me of another deep sea mystery trace, Paleodictyon[1]. Once an unconnected set of geometric fossils and modern hole patterns, it's been discovered that this phenomenon has occurred in a consistent form for half a billion years up to the present day.

I believe you're thinking of "Antihypoxiant," a very different story by the same author

I'm teaching my partner to drive and I've noticed that Google Maps will suggest very different routes to the same destination. It's also less accurate in estimating times, adding 5-10 minutes for its indirect routes versus taking straight paths.

Another thing I've noticed is that some directions will use businesses ("take a left after McDonald's") as landmarks in navigation. I'm beginning to believe the routing noise was introduced to allow navigational ads.

If the effectiveness of a core product is being compromised for monetization, is this what's also happening to their Search?

It's defensive. High salaries and plum projects keep good engineers from building your successor.

The problem with that is that we don't know how another person finds our communication. The reason the phrase "let's talk" leads to alarm bells is because one side has the self-assured feeling that they have good communication and don't take the other side's ability to respond into account. Moreover, when we initiate a work-related meeting with no context, we provide no frame of mind or ability to prepare to the other party.

If our request isn't high value enough to provide the other person additional context, our request isn't so important it can't wait until coincidence or regular schedule allows the discussion. We're responding to our own feelings of urgency in the moment rather than the planned and understood needs of our roles. When we do that, our communication, even if we feel like it is healthy and well-built, is only coincidentally so and its health is subject to swift erosion.

Unfortunately, for people that don't know you, this can be spooky to the other person while reassuring yourself. If you can be specific and provide context, you can prepare the person to engage you much faster and more effectively.

This is awesome seeing a paas optimize for expert users before planning how to expose those features more broadly. I hope their documentation follows suit!

I felt the same, but, having tried it, I can say it works in both directions. I can comfortably tolerate both hotter and colder temperatures than before.

It's possible! But there's been been many instances of material exchange between the inner rocky worlds that could have seeded life on any or all of them. Either way, seeing evidence of flourishing biota on other worlds, be they local extremophiles or alien life, is exciting

I'm curious what his examples of horse breeding and bodybuilding technologies were that have made it into mainline human health. I know early HRT used mare estrogen, but that seems less a technology than a means of manufacture.

Though they have similar names, GEICO and GE are unrelated businesses. The former is an acronymn for Government Employees Insurance Company, the latter stands for General Electric

I would pay business money, for a way to manage, simply and conveniently, trusted developer identities (via a web of trust) to validate software packages. This is something of a larger concern, but if that was their product goal, it is a thing I would attach a dollar figure to

The inner workings of the magnomatic gear they mention are a thing of beauty

It's crazy that we're talking about genetically re-engineering mammoths to help revitalize cold climates when we have such trouble preserving these elephant populations.
