God, the minidisc players were such beautiful devices. Way ahead of their time. It's too bad Sony didn't bring them to the US market in full force. I remember buying one online in Yen and having it shipped from Japan. It was my fi

Specifically switched over to Zotero because of the non-profit status. The only privacy feature request I'd make is to allow some kind of self-hosted sync, i.e. a deployable TLS sync server + preferences entry to specify a sync server

Sounds like a great DOS attack on meetings you don't want to be in. Just join from Firefox and everyone's battery dies.

You say these things like you know something about the field. In fact, we're talking about a technology for vaccination that is far less likely to work than many tried and true ones. It has never been FDA approved for anything.

And this comapny's particular approach to vaccination has never been approved for any indication. I can't imagine why this company would be considered a first-line relative to classical approaches to vaccination (inactivated, atte

It's a news office press release. Nobody should expect it to be a well-researched piece of independent reporting. Nothing more than marketing.

We self-host everything and have refused requests to update to subscription products. Our systems are our responsibility, so outsourcing to a SaaS that will die or get hacked tomorrow is enormous unquantifiable risk compared to the little o

No thanks. If it can remove artifacts, it can also introduce them. Nobody should be using this on patients. This is a straightforward misapplication of AI.

It's not really acting as a search engine, no. You can use Scholar for that, find the DOI, and paste it into sci-hub. Speaking of which, Scholar should really be showing DOIs on their search results. That is, the DOI should appear as a

Driving up fossil fuel prices would be a good way to kick the habit. Stop giving them easy capital in loans, investments, low interest rates, and cheap insurance to fund their growth. You know, a financial tourniquet.

This kind of thing sadly becomes necessary because of comment sections full of contrarians and devil's advocates -- and their real life equivalents. This site is a breeding ground for this class of do-nothing discourse, but it faithful

High field magnets are superconducting alloys that must be kept under liquid helium to remain below their critical temperature. If their temperature rises above the critical temperature, they become Ohmic resistors and can melt -- or at lea

If I reduce your load of gunshot wounds near zero but to a nonzero value, the pathogenesis of your disease will still worsen. This blogger will then claim that the gunshot wound hypothesis is flawed! The data shows that reducing amyloid-bet

I wish the entire web looked like this once again. Ah the good ol' days. Please add Newegg and other non-Amazon vendors. Newegg has an API and everything. Around 10 - 15 years ago, I used to use a simple site called pricewatch that was

You know what I understand? How are you inside my head? In fact, an understanding of deterrence is the basis for my critique. Deterrence is just branding for an endless cycle of escalation, investment, and global danger. It's almost as

A removable battery AND a headphone jack? I mean, this is my definition of luxury. Has anyone actually gotten one of these yet? Any critical impressions? Could I actually rely on it as a phone?

Squeezebox had this working in shipping internet radios over a decade ago. Logitech was kind enough to open source pretty much everything on that platform, so that it still lives today. No monthly subscription business plan bs or anything.

This is a typical misapplication of machine learning. It's important to realize what information can possibly be learned by a trained network. In this case, the only thing that can be learned is which components of Fourier space can be

There's definitely an imbalance at play here. But the Fed's actions have not been shifting dramatically. I don't know what the FT piece is referring to when they say they increased the size of Monday's operation. That is

I can't get through the paywall, but I'm not sure what the news is. The fed has been running this repo operation every day. On Thursday it was $78.7b, and on Wednesday it was $70.1b. This liquidity injection has been ongoing for a

I think you misunderstand what the FTC does. The FTC does not have the power to charge individuals under criminal indictments.

Why has it become so acceptable to launch half-baked products that don't actually work? Twenty years ago, you launched a product and it had to work right out of the box. What's gone wrong here?

That's completely untrue, as much as it would make sense for it to be. In fact, constitutional rights have not been applied universally to noncitizens by courts. Everything from the First Amendment onward has been limited by case law a
