It's not just how much but what kinds. According to this paper[1] there's about 1g - 2.5g of lactose and 30 other oligosaccharides per 100 ml of breast milk depending on if it's colostrum or mature milk. I don't know how

KDE does this too, and I'd be non-functional without it. Grabbable window decorations seem a thing of the past.

That's a good point. The publisher got paid and the coffee shop probably made a decent amount bringing in customers who knew they'd find a free paper there.

The coffee shops most likely paid for those subscriptions.

You're lucky. My city's newspaper moved to another town to consolidate operations. They put a helluva a brewery ( https://bootstrapbrewing.com/ ) in the old building though!

So what's the answer then? Before the internet almost all journalism was "paywalled." You either bought a subscription or an individual copy of what the organization has to offer. Ad-supported journalism is a joke in a societ

I got a little more than halfway through the post before I gave up. I honestly don't know of any other tech endeavor that is doing so much good only 16 people. You can diss their CEO all you want, but their product is heads above the r

I can't speak to the t-shirts. I was on duckduckgo before Kagi and also can't imagine returning there. I don't know what they're doing there but it's not improving. And yeah I am so with you on 2). It seems like (ag

AWS made 90.8 billion in 2023. I think a $525 million charge for using a smaller company's intellectual property reflects exactly what you're saying. If IP was more important then the lawsuit probably would've gathered more t

I have a story that happened just last night. I almost always go through the self check-out because I can pack my groceries just how I like. So I scan my groceries while a round glass eye watches my every move and a machine repeatedly tells

The big surprise for me re: fastmail is how much better their UI and UX are. I was prepared to pay money to sacrifice usability to avoid gmail and have been happily surprised.

It's been the same for my kids. Another thing I've noticed is that post-covid they've come home from school with more stories of the teachers just putting on videos and having the kids watch that, or else they just read crap

Huh. I have to say as a Gen Xer that it's hard to find articles that celebrate cool stuff we do or did, or even ones that condemn us for the mistakes of our generation. Instead we get these "Let's pity the poor confused Gen X

I think aspiring to a baseline level of truth seeking is harder than initially thought. Watchdogs like allsides.com consider slate a pretty left-leaning publication[1], especially in 2012[2] when this article was published. At least they we

I don't think regulation is ineffective as a whole, but I do think that regulation won't be able to curb the industry's hunger for data or its incompetence in how it collects it. I believe this is the case because the industr

This is what I'm starting to love about this ecosystem. There's one dominant player right now but by no means are they guaranteed that dominance. The big-tech oligarchs are playing catch-up. Some of them, like Meta with Llama, are

If AGI is as transformative as its proponents make it out to be, would it both attract and create those enormous egos though?
