For anyone from the US reading this just throw it out… we eat significantly less healthy and have significantly more obesity. Sweden as a country is significantly more healthy and active. To everyone reading this and thinking that this applies is sorely mistaken.

Fitness might not “extend your life many years” but being morbidly obese will most certainly end it significantly early.

How does this not trigger an immediate investigation of this guy… he might not be wrong about approving it… but I would want to be dang sure he is not getting a kickback or some other misc benefit.

Love how all the initial comments on this are about how these parents are going to massively influence their children’s future by not _making_ them do multiple “extracurriculars”… TBH YOU ARE THE PROBLEM-> gamification of their life is what is causing all of this strife.

Not everyone needs to be a 10X-er (to use a HN favorite term) honestly I would much rather work with 2x-5x engineers that went to a regular school than the unfortunate ones who have had their whole lives gamified for some social credit game played by their parents. Im not saying that there isn’t value in Ivy League but the games being played to get people in and this idea that it will == successful life is at best a marketing strategy…

To me, this is hard to understand. There used to be a saying “right tool for the right job” and I’m sure when Ford released the model T lots of people said “horses can do X while automobiles can not”

This is a step … where basically 9 months out of the year there is no emissions in the city and the trucks are effectively the same 1:1 replacement.

I also understand that this is a much harder article to write “the city got away with using the wrong tool for the job for years and now has to address the problem they created” (this cuts both ways). It probably seemed like a win win at the time but now a solution will need to be engineered to solve it… im also sure having a hybrid fleet (some ICE and some EV) will be great for times of increased demand and having backups when something breaks…

Check out https://ghost.org/pricing/ it’s exactly what you are asking for.

The problem starts when ads are significantly louder than the rest of the content in order to be an "ear catcher"..... Now radio is much better than other forms of media (looking at you cable... and now some streaming services that are on the take from both sides) but its also the fact that ads have become steadily more intrusive over the last decade(+).

My real hope is that there is a movement back to "sponsored content" and more subtle ads... with less ads overall.... i.e "this hour is sponsored by <insert Brand>, check them out on <insert text>". This is probably never going to happen as there is now a constant need to sell and more expensive ads does push out smaller businesses.

Not sure there is really an answer here but I think moderation can help here

This is anti trust because it’s probably in violation of the sherman act and price fixing.

The anti trust laws are designed to prevent monopolies and promote competition… as Amazon is acting as the market here and simultaneously fixing prices and discouraging competition with them thats a no-no

When an article starts out with an capricious question “ Could this Sensor Kill Standalone Cameras Completely?” The answer is always A big NO… furthermore technology advances they are bringing dual pixel af, which cannon has had for years. This is expected progress and its not replacing dedicated cameras any time soon…

That animation is pretty cool, never seen it on that level before. I knew that soap ate through (destroyed) the lipid layers and that’s why it’s such an effective disinfectant (as almost everything has a fatty lipid layer to protect/contain the internals).

One of my first blog posts; Tell me what you think... or if you find any spelling errors.

That’s definitely an improvement and a cheap solution. I always have to remind people of offsite backups... I had to learn the hard way and I’ve now migrated to Backblaze for one of my backup copies for my cold data .

“ For redundancy, I am backing up my computers to 2 separate network storage devices.”

Hopefully he understands that this is not a true backup....he’s basically created a more complex RAID 1 running two NAS...

For example a flood, a House fire, theft, or a power surge is probably going to lose/fry both then everything is gone. This is a perfect example of thinking you have something backed up but if you store it in the same place you just created a more complex RAID 1...

If you want a backup you need to store a copy in a different location preferably a different region because if you put it at your friends house down the road they are also likely to be hit by the same disaster (i.e flood, tornado, hurricane, war, etc.) as you are.

That’s assuming many things... including that countries actually shutdown. It’s also assuming the 2nd wave is bad and there’s not enough partial herd immunity to slow it down and assuming we don’t have a better treatment course or even a vaccine. Even if a vaccine is only 50% effective it would be a huge win.

While I understand the nature of your statement I also think humans and therefore markets are resilient. Many companies have pivoted to online and contactless delivery and are doing well. I’m sure there will be a loss but I’m not expecting 50%...

Neat... While Odroid has been around for a little bit offering an alternative to RPi the issue is always support and adoption. A lot projects are built on RPi and porting them over to other platforms while sometimes easy other times adds another layer of abstraction and random issues.

the other problem is if I need more Processing power I just move to an x86 platform... if I can't run it on a low power board.

Well for a multitude of reasons....

First it’s on the 2.4 GHz band...which is quite busy as a significant number of devices, and protocols use that band including WiFi, Microwave ovens, baby monitors, and etc. The Bluetooth spec as done a lot to mitigate this in the spec but the issue persists.

Second there is an security element that was kinda added on later but was also built in and was optional.... this causes an untold amount of issues (aka vulnerabilities) and is probably what your experiencing with the paring issues.

Lastly the protocol stack implemented almost everything from audio to serial to TCP/IP...which is probably why it’s so ubiquitous and is implemented weirdly because there is multiple ways to do it...see the number of Bluetooth codecs.
