Synthetic chemistry in the 40s was like alchemy compared to the processes today. There are myriad chemical techniques and reactions that exist today, that didn't exist in the 40s, and you flat out can't do without fluoropolymers,

I don't think you understand how bad lead is for neural development. It's far worse than plastic. And with leaded gas, there was no escaping it. At least you can generally live a no-plastic or reduced-plastic lifestyle. We liter

Just because you don't personally encounter it, doesn't mean it's non-essential. Viton is essential in modern engines. Basically anywhere you are in contact with gasoline, you need fluoroelastomer. The entire chemicals indust

Very little "rubber" is actual natural latex rubber. Balloons, certain hose, and some gloves are natural latex, as are about 40% of the material in tires. The rest is synthetic elastomer. EPDM and Buna-N/nitrile are probably

Perhaps a naive question, but what prevents a user from running an emulation layer with a virtual browser, that pipes the data to a desired client? Term of service? Ok what if they decide to run said adversarial interface, host the code out

Great ruling. The private/public checkerboard is pretty bizarre in the first place. A much more forethought approach would be to add a public buffer around everything (basically shrink the private plots by 6' or so).

I know the idea, but it's usually not 14-15 standards, it's usually like one really entrenched old crusty standard (if you are lucky) or (more likely) emergent glued-together patchwork of hacks. It's definitely an uphill ba

Yeah, I read all that. I still don't understand why/how the lawyers went ahead with the trademark process before the engagement letter was signed. Like, I want to believe you, it just seems weird of lawyers to do the thing without

Yeah, regional burns are definitely my jam. I guess I just gotta ask folks what other events they are going to whenever I'm at one. Yay network effects!

Probably that plus other things https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30785511 Also "we didn't sign the agreement but the lawyers pushed the application forward anyways" sounds very...un-lawyer-y. Kinda sus.

How do you find out about these? I hear about some by word of mouth but I'd like to accelerate the process.

As far as I understand as a non-member, but as someone who has talked to one, they are really hurting for new members. I'm pretty sure if you just find a local lodge and email them they'd be happy to give an invite.

I agree, it really grinds my gears when people use it as an objection to any attempt at improving a standard. People stopped taking it as what it is (a joke) and using it as an actual argument.

Of course it's necessary and desirable. The "categorization system" in question already exists, whether it ought to or not. Bipoc have a more difficult socioeconomic situation, because of their skin color. Should "LGBT

Well, the Associated Press style guide squarely disagrees with you. Not having a label for something makes it really difficult to talk about issues around that subject. How am I supposed to advocate for a group of people who have it rough,

It's complex but the reductionist explanation is that it is in part due to the euphemism treadmill, and in part etymological origin. "Colored" comes from the era of segregation, while "people of color" comes after.

It's absolutely awesome for implementing any kind of faceted search inside of a web application. Generating reports, finding resources, and of course social media do this sort of operation all the time. Gql makes it way cleaner and mor

It's agnostic, the QUERY verb has nothing to do with the actual implementation, or the content encoding. You can use any content encoding for your query body, and you can resolve it any way you see fit. In mine, I was just caching raw

It's definitely not a "tremendous" amount of work. At the bare minimum, you copy your POST code and change the verb, that's it. There's no need to cache, so you actually can handle it basically as idempotent POS

I can't wait until this becomes a spec. I wrote a small middleware to cache sql and graphql queries and I implemented QUERY and Cache-Control. Worked great and saved a ton of bandwidth for developing and running reports, as I didn&#x27

So? Just deal with it however one would deal with unruly POST requests, slow-walked multi-part, and other protocol abuse. No matter what, you need protection against bad actors trying to get the servers to do bad things.

"Render unto Caesar" has grown well beyond the bible and is firmly embedded into cultural consciousness.
