Blocking font loading. I'm not sure where fonts show up in uMatrix and there is at least not a specific fonts category, which is what I want.

It depends on how much work you want to do... I change umatrix defaults to not allow any javascript, which breaks a lot of things (usually images :/). I also don't load anything from third party sites by default, which also break

I don't think it is intended to be an in-memory upgrade but rather move the hash on disk into shadow with a new hash method. The only way to change the hash method is to create a new hash from the provided password after verifying tha

I've found that sshuttle with the --dns option still leaks dns queries occasionally so I set my web browser and curl to use SOCKS and run sshuttle to try to catch anything else.

Not quite what you are looking for but the International Labor Rights Forum does a great job of trying to change some of the worst of the worst practices around the world (unfortunately, Uber is unlikely to make a top ten list). https:&#x2

Thanks, that whole section on "Evolution of aerobic citrate usage in one population" is the most interesting thing I've read this year.

I think a similar issue applies with Epipen. There is an alternative, Adrenaclick (still expensive but not quite as bad), but because the delivery mechanism is different the prescription needs to be written differently. Transdermal deliver

A similar technique can be used in embedded systems to enhance the speed that password derived keys become unrecoverable from memory after power off: instead of storing the key directly, store it as a value that must be xored with a hash of

For that matter, the Ojibwe didn't reach northern Minnesota until after European contact and live accross a large area of land. They (and related nations) had a long westward migration that started prior to European contact and contin

My suggestion: since you have money, use some of that money to help correct long term structural issues. Control of land is often at the core of these issues (and limits the need to make complicated value judgements around what is helpful

I've always thought alcohol is a waste of good sugar :). I have very little bitter taste so it isn't that wine tastes particularly bad to me, just that grape juice tastes much better. I do like cooking with lots of vinegar since

I still think Bezos wants a headquarters near DC and mostly wants nearby suburbs to outdo each other offering the biggest bribes. However, in addition to the free press I suspect Amazon will make use of the long list of cities most willing

I think the best article on this is Mark Solms 2000 "Dreaming and REM sleep are controlled by different brain mechanisms"[0]. Solms and a couple of coauthors have an article this year, "Dreaming in Neurological Disorders&quo

"Deep sleep – the part when we begin to dream" While I'm glad they don't use the popular but incorrect REM sleep == dream sleep, I don't think this is correct either. I have a circadian rhythm disorder and had seve

Maybe gut bacteria are quite a bit different from bacteria elsewhere in the body, but I had an experience that makes me wonder about antibiotic effectiveness in general. My sister gave me a couple of ubiome gut bacteria kits and I took one

I have a circadian rhythm disorder (non-24) and have tried a bunch of stuff that could potentially help with sleep, including magnesium in three or four different forms (including time release; they all seem to have the same effect). I als

Since Bezos has a house and newspaper in D.C. but D.C. itself isn't suitable, I'm thinking "distance from D.C." is a major unmentioned criteria and the main point is to get suburbs and nearby cities to compete. I'l

Just adding the word "neruoscience" does not make an article about neuroscience. This is deceptive use of the term.

The US had a major role in creating the environment that lead to Putin gaining power, with a much heavier hand than anything Russia is accused of at this point. Matt Taibbi had a good article on this a little while ago: https://

Yeah, my current apartment is in the path of a small urban one for a little while in the spring and fall when the sun is in the right place. It is surprisingly annoying, but tolerable for me since it is just a short time of day for a short

For those looking for noise gen options, sox can be used to get a variety of fairly complex noise sounds. I tried a bunch of things based on an old blog post [0] with a bunch of helpful comments and the Reddit thread linked from there [1].

Also worth noting: as someone with a serious sleep disorder (non-24 hour circadian rhythm), I've found that there are a lot of things that affect sleep quite strongly the first night and much less shortly after. The effect often disap
