> The exemption only applies to businesses that specifically only make bread and nothing else. Even bagels disqualify the exemption

This is not accurate. The exemption applies to businesses that sell bread starting before September 2023. The exemption excludes restaurants that sell bagels and/or croissants but who don't sell bread.

Re:The novel HTTP/2 'Rapid Reset' DDoS attack on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @09:35AM (#37831906)
The new technique described avoids the maximum limit on number of requests per second (per client) the attacker can get the server to process. By sending both requests and stream resets within the same single connection, the attacker can send more requests per connection/client than used to be possible, so it is perhaps cheaper as an attack and/or more difficult to stop
It seems like this rather indicates that the USDA erosion tolerance is too high to meaningfully slow the rate of erosion. 1mm is not a useful target given that the average pre-agricultural rate of erosion is 0.04mm--this paper says that the pre-agricultural erosion rate was much lower than expected and this means modern practices are still causing more damage than previously understood and tolerance should be lowered by an order of magnitude.

The experiment in the article explicitly does control for this

> The participants (20 per group) were given sweetener packets of aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, or stevia, each bulked out with glucose to an equivalent size, with another group that got just glucose and another group that took no sweeteners at all.

In this experiment, the artificial sweeteners used glucose as the filler. They also account for the effects of the glucose filler on the insulin response in all groups by measuring the difference in the response.

> If the cost of insulin is capped on its own, insulin will be more likely to jump in front of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in treatment plans. That will mean more disease, more disability, and more death from diabetes.

Warp drives, maybe not, but multigenerational space travel at slow speeds might actually require a certain amount of social cohesion and cooperative tendency, as well as a pioneer's ambitious personality--the rigors of the journey combined with those of establishing civilization on a planet without any humans to enslave and manipulate will add up to significant selective pressure on settlers.
Roll 1d6: 2. You click through to discover that warp drives are "having a moment" after "scientists" "dropped a bombshell"
