Cool

One issue I have w/ webdriving headless browser in general is host RAM usage per browser/chromium/puppeteer instance (e.g. ~600-900mb) for a single browser/context/page.

Could crawlee make it easier to run more browser contexts with less ram usage?

e.g. concurrently running multiple of these (pages requiring js execution): https://crawlee.dev/docs/examples/forms

No surprise - when you mess with political-insider incumbents, you go down hard (unlike ghislaine maxwell)
love seeing the resistance to this period of peak centralized control of lives

months ago many ppl i know praised central mandates on things like ESG scores & vaccines. Near all have completely reversed their position just 6 months later (even deleting previous tweets).

the unprecedented political-decisions as of late have been something of an IQ test.

How did you deduce this from options prices? IV?

Wokism at its essence is Nice > Kind.

And nice is near-meaningless.

As a medical field outsider:

Instead of basic linear / bell/U curve type ways of describing impact of biomarkers, are new ways of describing complex biomarker relations emerging into the vernacular? e.g. optimums within clusters/sets of biomarkers

More accurately:

The best of all worlds as far as quality of life is fluctuating between periods of high growths & high autophagy (repair).

I agree with all your points other than:

>But no one wants to hear they should scale back protein intake to 0.5/g per kg of body weight or less. (which basically means being mostly vegetarian or vegan, with some exception)

The healthiest people I've observed anywhere eat high protein diets, but balance it with fasting.

Is this the case: nodes on SWIFT network need to update their code to block an endpoint like Russian banks?

This is ridiculous. 1 block confirmation would've prevented near-all transactions from being retracted.

90% of pregnant women should be not be vaxxed.

Canadian healthcare is indeed in rough shape.

Our health outcomes have plateaued, wait times increased and costs rocketed.

True. What's discussed & lauded on here is more zero sum & identity politics based than ever. Just like San Francisco. Sad to see.

This is a static, no-innovation lens through which to view the world/web.

The future has always belonged to bold creators. Not pessimistic, static-lens detractors.
