Doesn't iodized salt have a weird taste? I'm pretty sure I don't have any in my house. I don't think reasonably well-off people in developed countries need iodized salt, because we get enough iodine from our diets.

I'm not sure if this is what your parent meant, but I think it can require more or fewer frames, with more or less spacing depending on the camera, and on the dynamic range of the scene. Currently (at least with Fujifilm) you have to m

I completely agree. Can you imagine have smartphone-level ability to add new functionality to high-end cameras? The things you could do would be amazing. Although I suspect and IO and processing power may be limiting factors, given that eve

I agree with a lot of this stuff. I would really love to be able to do more processing in-camera. For example, if I'm doing focus or exposure bracketing, I am going to composite that in lightroom 100% of the time. Why can't the ca

From what I've seen, it's more likely that it's because it's easier and cheaper to building housing in Nevada than in California. The states where homelessness has improved are generally business-friendly and low-regulat

The manufacturing/construction capability for nuclear needs to be global, rather than national. There is plenty of need for new nuclear to sustain and grow the expertise around the world. This goes for the governments as well, but unfo

A wealth tax is the only thing that makes sense to me here. Also eliminating the stepped up basis.

Government policy and major aspects of the economy are inexorably linked. It doesn't make sense to consider them separately. And I think the structure of production is quite a separate question than billionaires' personal wealth.

Looking at 2019, since 2020 was Weird, emissions per capita appear to be down to 1970s-level https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/canada . Much work to do, but it's still progress.

I find this discourse incredibly frustrating. I don't like billionaires, and I would prefer they give away their money more rapidly. But they are following that laws that exist just as much as the rest of us. We don't expect peo

Kinda feel for poor Jony here. Went from doing industrial design for some of the most widely-used and sought after products in the world to making a logo for a greenwashing group. Hope to see more interesting stuff from him going forward.

> EVERYTHING beautiful is skeuomorphic I don't think you can make any kind of categorical statement like this about a topic as subjective as beauty. Maybe you only find skeuomorphic things beautiful, but some of us disagree.

That remote is awful, but isn't usually what I've heard people refer to as flat design. Flat design tends to refer to the more simplistic software UIs that have been in fashion over the last few years.

I think there's actually a helpful analogy to software development here. If your company can only release once every 2–8 years, then naturally the releases would become huge. Unfortunately, our government is so bogged down by divisiven

There is a vaccine for salmonella. I might be wrong, but I believe it is mandated in other countries, but not in the US. Notably, California requires it for chickens that lay eggs, which means most eggs on the West Coast are vaccinated agai

You've got some big misunderstandings here. 1) The rent data you cite is for new leases. Since new leases only represent a fraction of total leases, they aren't going to agree with tracking overall rent. 2) When you buy a house, y
