The worst arsenic levels in rice come from the US midwest and south. This isn't an outsourcing problem.

We have a battery-powered drill that my girlfriend brought with her when we moved in together over 7 years ago. We use it very rarely, probably once every 4 months. We don't even have a charger, and the battery has never been changed.

Agreed, and what you're saying is really the proper way do things in a cloud-native environment where all hosts are ephemeral, containerized apps are idempotent, and especially a serverless environment where no one has access to the in

Even the redwood park society released a statement saying the park was "gone." They were referring to the buildings. Ironic?

This is a remarkable statement. If everyone would just cut down on meat, even avoid it a few days of the week, it would make an enormous positive impact. Same goes for seafood. From the perspective of someone who eats meat twice a week or

I think this is a cynical attitude. Until 1990, the majority of people driving cars did not wear a seatbelt. An even better analogy is tobacco use. In the 1950s and 1960s America, you'd hear the same kind of things about cigarettes as

If the ~50% of Americans who choose not to vote, actually did, that would by definition change the politicians who are "able to win."

Umm... 1) Vegetables are better than meat foods in the minds of the hundreds of millions of vegetarians out there. 2) Vegetarians do not consider their diet to be a 'sacrifice'. Quite the opposite. There are many benefits. There

Because there are alternatives to population control, like increasing the sustainability of food and energy sources. After all, the planet now supports twice as many people as it did a few decades ago, and that's basically down to agri

I live in SF and before covid used to commute outside the city. Maybe I'm an outlier (or just in my late 30's...) but the reasons I live in SF are actually better with the lockdown: I love walking and biking the neighborhoods, I l

I've heard Starbucks and other big chains "burn" their beans to guarantee consistency (few of their customers, if any, are drinking it for coffee flavour). But -- any truth to this legend?

"...looking at Mr. Trump as an aggrieved user of a fractious internet forum, rather than a politician making high-minded claims about freedom of speech, clarifies the dynamics at play here."

Paywalled; can't read it. James Nestor, the author, has an amazing book on (not) breathing... actually about athletes who free-drive to unthinkable ocean depths with no gear.

What's most interesting to me about this discussion is that most of the participants will, within a few short decades, be needing the UI enhancements we're talking about. It's interesting because until now accessibility is de

"send logs, metrics, and dashboards from Datadog into an Amazon S3 bucket to create monthly reports" This is an odd use case given that Datadog can already store logs in your S3 buckets, and Datadog integrates with AWS Cloudwatch

If the vast majority of people contracting the virus never have symptoms, or have symptoms mild enough that they don't seek a doctor, or they DO seek a doctor but can't get a test because of testing criteria restrictions, I think

It's known that the vast majority infected do not experience symptoms, or have mild symptoms. I don't think you can draw the conclusion that they had prior immunity.
