It's the opposite of conditional acceptance, and probably one of the most stabilizing forms of social support you can have

I like the comparison to financial risk-aversion. The idea that social anxiety is a system working as designed, just with a different optimization function (avoid downside vs pursue upside), fits well with how behavior often emerges from mi

Turns out Katy Perry was low-key talking about ultraweak biophoton emission all along
274.

The fact that they're seeing visible photon differences between live and dead tissue at the same temperature suggests it's tied to metabolic or biochemical activity, not just thermal noise

Kind of makes you wonder if this could eventually become a diagnostic tool, though I imagine the sensitivity requirements and ambient light issues are pretty brutal in real-world settings

Your setup is basically a personal microgrid optimizer

At that point, a small backup generator (or even just staying grid-tied as insurance) makes far more sense

Seasonal storage sounds elegant, but in practice it's a nightmare of diminishing returns

Totally agree on the feed-in tariff reality check. Unless you're in a rare location with generous net metering, exporting surplus is basically a donation

The key insight here is how deceptively hard seasonal storage is. It's not just about matching annual production to consumption, it's about time-shifting summer surplus to winter deficit, and that's where things get wildly im

That tension between protecting labor rights and promoting open markets is real

The frustrating part is that this isn't some loophole getting accidentally exploited, it's baked into the system

Yeah, a salary-based allocation would cut through a lot of the noise. If a company really needs top-tier talent and is willing to pay for it, fine... That’s very different from using H-1Bs as a way to fill mid-level roles at below-market ra

Apple could easily keep a "mini" around as the lightweight option for folks who don't want a pocket tablet

I've got a 12 mini and honestly it's the perfect size. Every year I hope they bring back a proper compact flagship, but instead we get thinner, not smaller
293.

So basically: thinner, shinier, faster. Itэs impressive from an engineering standpoint but at what point does thinness stop being a feature and start being a liability? I feel like we’ve been here before with bendgate.

The infrastructure for that kind of control clearly already exists. What's unclear is how coordinated or deliberate these events are versus being side effects of testing or internal changes
