Are there good alternative building materials? Perhaps wood? Edit: It seems I am shadow banned. I am going to take this as a deep insult.

Thanks. Us full-time nerds sometimes need to be reminded that people have all this emotional baggage. It is actually scientifically clear that women are childlike, both in physique (relatively large eyes and heads, shorter, weaker) and beha

Could you explain what exactly makes this flamebaiting? I find the lack of modesty in the West at times appalling, so I can empathize with cultures with strict levels of modesty. It is also quite clear that women tend to behave more childli

Hitting a child is probably counter-productive. Scolding it all the time is definitely counter-productive. Scolding it in extreme situations is quite effective in my experience; this is what I was referring to.

> If you look through a neuroscience textbook section on memory systems, it's commonly suggested that the hippocampus does the one shot learning and transfers that over time to the cortex. This is backed up by clinical case studies.

Fwiw, afaik, cameras are relatively poor measures preventing burglary. By far the most important factor is reinforced windows and doors.

What's the recovery rate of corals that have experienced heat waves? I'd imagine that species which can withstand the heat are going to fill the empty spots?

It was an overreaction which, however, was only enabled by absolutely lazy journalism. They basically took Bouman's Facebook post with a photo of her smiling next to the black hole claiming that she produced the picture, blowing her co

Most of these kinds of products are built to fail so that you'll pay for a new one soon.

Don't forget that the CO2 footprint of these things is immense. Though take growth away and things will be come zero-sum; people will try to take things from each other rather than from growth, and will find petty reasons for conflict

Fair point, but they do invoke this ludicrous metaphor of the data highway, also why isn't it then simply called "infrastructure". There are surely other large scale planning decisions that could be subsumed e.g. pipelines, p

Yeah, but the technology is not good enough for the level of authenticity here.

Digital infrastructure is mostly privatized (and monopolized).

They also have a "Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure" as if expertise in one domain would easily transfer to the other. The only commonality seems to be that things are being transported from A to B via some network,

The question is how much these additional fancy features actually improve the product over what is feasible DiY? How much longer is the battery life?

It's interesting that beyond some number of circles the optimal solution likely always involves a regular equilateral grid in the center. Also interesting that there are seemingly no solutions without loose circles beyond 91.

It's still a relatively minor issue. There are far greater sources of microplastics, especially wear and tear from tires, paint: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CA7zXLWUIAAaSfS?format=png&name=... We'd need t

To answer my own question, it looks like MQTT has a slightly higher power usage due to the TCP/IP-based connection (though still a much more compact header than HTTP). Both offer notification mechanisms, but BLE can only do "one m
