   When you put plants through an animal to concentrate the nutrients, you're going to get 10% efficiency. In these controlled systems, if you care about efficiency, it's always better to eat the plants. ( https://en.wikipe

    Episode 27 of the Syntax podcast gives a good overview of GraphQL and its ecosystem. Demystified a lot for me. https://syntax.fm/show/027/graphql-here-is-what-you-need-to-...

    But maybe they're looking for the first number historically. It must have been One, right? Surely. But what was its name in Sumarian..?

    I strongly recommend volunteering. I taught in Oakland in the '17-'18 school year. It was a great experience and I will gladly do it again as soon as I have a more flexible job. I was anxious about the known and unknown challenges

    This isn't the SOMA I remember back in the day. Even if that estimate is accurate, "SOMA" was barely a thing. Now SOMA is literally south of market, and a 50% vacancy would be quite different.

    There are so many links to Alzheimer's lately that I'm not sure there's a reasonable prevention strategy.

    Clever stuff. I like that the author used modern techniques (python) to generate the custom C64 character set.

    Why does it bother you that another animal might understand language? Everything humans have we got from our animal ancestors. Is language different? Is it divine?

    I could see a small firm offering one-on-one, high value cryptocurrency-to-cash-and-back transactions doing very well. They could jump through all the money exchange and KYC hoops just like Coinbase did, but offer top-shelf, direct service.
