The combo of smoking and high household radon is particularly bad; there's a 1 in 3 lifetime chance of lung cancer for people who have both risk factors.

I think the author is largely setting up a strawman. He's alluding to various structured notetaking methodologies (presumably, elaborate wikis, zettels, concept maps, etc.) but then says those methodologies are fine if you're doin

If you're looking for a plug-and-play device, there are options from Waveshare, Boox and Dasung. If you're willing to DIY, there's a great open source project called PaperTTY that works with almost any e-ink panel. Despite th

I think it adheres somewhat/partially to skin. When the assistant slides down the first shoulder strap in the video, there seems to be some resistance, as if the material was gently stuck to the skin and then lightly released/pull

Papyr is based on the same hardware as the Quaderno Gen 1. The hardware platform is licensed from a company called Linfiny. It's been rumored for a while that Quirklogic will release a Papyr based on the Gen 2 hardware, but it hasn&#x2

The A4 goes in and out of stock. It’s a popular product in Japan and it seems like demand is higher than supply.

The current (gen 2) Quaderno A4 is really excellent and pretty inexpensive ordered from Amazon JP given current exchange rates.

Logseq has rudimentary time tracking, but it’s fiddly and probably too limited to be useful if you have a serious time tracking workflow in org.

The linked page doesn't mention it, but the author of this article (Goldman) is a professor of law at Santa Clara University law school. So his reading of the text of the law and its likely interpretation is probably somewhat accurate

It is healthy IMHO to be skeptical of individuals bearing official titles indicative of their social class, whether hereditary or acquired through social influence. That's a longstanding American tradition going back to the Federalist

It's interesting that the linked policy says almost the exact opposite of Fermi's statement, implying that ignorance is sometimes better than knowledge: "...considerations of harm can occasionally supersede the goal of seekin

I agree with your general point, but I don't think it's applicable here really. Raindrop targets users who aren't looking for "a relatively simple and clear-cut... bookmark stash". That's part of what it offers

st is such an outlier in those measurements that it makes you wonder whether something is potentially wrong with the test setup. There's another set of latency measurements here: https://tomscii.sig7.se/2021/01&#x2

These days a lot of Mandarin video translations do just use "bù!" or "oh bù!", even though it's not grammatically correct and technically meaningless, just because it tends not to ruin the lipsyncing.

Full page refresh is still slow, but the interfaces have gotten better to mitigate that a little. I've never used a Kindle, but on Kobos there's a scrubbing interface that appears that shows pages about 1/8th size so you can

I strongly agree. It's also worth mentioning that rule 282 is only a small part of the Russian media control regime at this point; it's expanded dramatically in recent years, particularly post-2017. One could write a whole book ab

Kobos do support modern epubs, but for some inexplicable reason, they use their old epub2 renderer licensed from Adobe for all .epub files. You can just rename .epub files to .kepub and force Kobos to use the modern reader code. This gets y

Replacing the top layer of soil is the most common method of soil remediation, but there are others. For most urban gardeners it's usually more cost-effective to put in raised beds.

It was Germany that really got the ball rolling on this, with its Network Enforcement Act (commonly called "NetzDG"). NetzDG is being used as a model for policymakers in the UK, Canada and Australia. This is pretty astonishing to

I see that perspective, but the rules around reporting and disposing of bodies have purposes independent of the abortion debate, e.g., to protect the rights of live-born disabled babies from intentional euthanasia. Here, the police laid the

The police exhumed the body because the 22-year old man who helped bury the body made a police report. The police didn't seek the Facebook search warrant until after they exhumed the body and found evidence the body was burned.

The teenager ("mother") isn't being prosecuted for getting the abortion. She's being charged for concealing or abandoning a dead human body, concealing the death of another person, and false reporting. It's the teen

In most of Europe what happened in this particular case would still have been illegal (although it's fair to ask whether the individual in question would have had a legal abortion at an earlier point in time in Europe). The linked arti

The problem is deeper than people just struggling with frequentist statistics. It's difficult IMHO to actually reason properly about frequentist results without also having a grounding in Bayesian statistics. For example, in the Gigere

This paper is a dog's breakfast. Even the header isn't properly proofread (it reads "JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, VOL. 14, NO. 8, AUGUST 2015"). Figure 5 shows the results of an experiment where people were asked to rat
