What do you mean by this? What else than burning the fuel contributes to the greenhouse effect?

I appreciate your insight, the first association that came to my mind was a generic brand name on Amazon

ecobee works locally (without its cloud services) through Apple HomeKit.

Optometrist recommended I take daily fish oil and give it a month to see result. Sure enough, roughly a month later, I stopped having dry eyes. My eyes feel good even now during winter, when both outside and inside air is quite dry.

I have the opposite perception from you; I tried to create apps for Tidbyt, only to run into obscure differences between Starlark and Python, inability to parse data from API endpoint, inability to debug. I followed your link and saw that the platform somewhat matured so I'll give it one more try

This is great, I appreciate the ability to save and restore the "trails".

Similarly to OP and many other like-minded commenters, I've also built an interface for rabbit-holing [0]. This is a 10 year old, purely JS+CSS solution you can open in your browser. It's limited to Wikipedia and its UI seems broken after Wikipedia's style updates, but nevertheless wanted to share the source code [1] for anyone who's interested

Thank you. I also saw Fujifilm Tether which offers liveview.

petabyt I'm interested in this capability, is this available out of the box? What's the client API/contract? Or is Fujihack [0] required? (I just found it on your website.)

Agreed. Also, that could be a paid feature

This is a very nice packaging of a kindle hack I've seen several years ago [1]. Previous discussion: [2] You can point your kindle web browser at this website: [3]

The local export is not just faster, it's functionally better: there are a few useful options you can tweak. The one option I'm using local export for is increasing detail, e.g. to get a very round object without noticeable edges around the perimeter.

I'd like to know as well. The Distributed Denial of Secrets [1] page states that "Due to PII in the dataset, the dataset is only being offered to journalists and researchers."

As a requirement to travel to certain places

That's the way to go. I set up a rule where everything going to *@a.mydomain.com goes into a folder which I largely ignore. Every website gets a unique prefix, e.g. ycombinator@a.domain.com.

The advantage of Masked Emails is that third parties won't even know about mydomain.com. The disadvantage is that you need 1Password to recall which email address you used with a particular website.

Allegation of your excessive alcohol consumption or unpopular opinions is not going to decrease your credit score. Your donation to the government "charity" is not going to increase your credit score. With low credit score, you can still take a train to anywhere you want.

Planting a car bomb on the victim's car is risky. It's safe to outfit the attacker's car with a self-destruct device in a safe garage.

I think of rotation about any axis as if I inserted into the object a skewer along that axis, and rotated the skewer. For example, rotating an object laying on the desk is achieved by rotating about the Z axis, since the "skewer" is pointing up along Z axis.

This works well in OpenSCAD and I just saw that Slic3r displays a handy arrow in the 3D preview when you focus the text box that controls the rotation

Probably not, but if a regime wants to persecute someone (maybe they went to a protest?), they could comb through the individual's accounts looking for slightest evidence of breaking the law.

You might have misunderstood the author. The author showed us that you can have an efficient system without the vertically integrated middleman corporate structure. He described how it is a novelty and runs differently than what he's used to, but it is the natural course of business in many parts of the world. He did not participate in poverty tourism and Ecuadorians are not disenfranchised poor people just because they don't follow the lifestyle that you're used to.

Given a choice of renting a router from Centurylink for $10/month and purchasing it for roughly $100, I purchased it a couple years ago. It already paid off for itself, but an interesting thing happened in December:

I received a phone call from CenturyLink saying that I'm eligible for free upgrade from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. Surprised with their benevolence, I double checked the agent to verify that this is not a scam. They ran some checks and determined that I will need to replace the router with a newer model to handle faster speeds. I said that I purchased the router from CenturyLink, and I'm ok swapping it for a newer model, as long as there are no extra fees, and that I will own (and not rent) the new model. They agreed to this. I got the new modem in mail, swapped it, got the gigabit speed and sent the original one back. Next month I saw a $10 modem rental charge. I called them, they argued, I argued back, they said that they'll need my permission to transcribe the earlier conversation (that's strange, because they always play the message that a conversation will be recorded). A few days later they called back saying that they transcribed the call, found out that they agreed to not renting the modem, apologized and gave me a refund.

I still don't fully understand why they offered me higher speed without paying more. I had no recording of the phone call and they had the upper hand, but they were fair in resolution. Overall, I had a very good run with Centurylink despite hearing only horror stories about American ISPs.

TLDR: Be very explicit on the call when someone offers to upgrade the modem that you own.

There's plenty. Here's one example [0]

Convoys of Chinese patriots in Ferraris and other high-end sports cars have been revving up pro-Beijing demonstrations in Canada, home to tens of thousands of Chinese millionaire migrants.

I had no idea about the interstate numbering system. This is awesome to know, thanks.

You're right that the organic designation is about completely avoiding the usage of certain substances. The article refers to this idea towards the end:

As the soil becomes compacted and soaked with agrichemicals, the delicate microbiome of the soil is destroyed. The whole point of growing organically is to ensure this planet stays healthy and chemical-free.

It reminds the tech afictionados that there exists real value in primitive technology.

If all you have is a cell phone with no battery or no reception, you can't get help, you can't hail rides etc.

Perhaps this will encourage tech companies to recognize access to health services as a basic human right.

I look forward to day when corporations support universal health care from purely selfish grounds: if government takes care of employee's health, companies won't have to deal with it, or worry whether driver crosses the threshold of working over 30 hours a week.

I'm also curious about this. Does it mean that people are betting that $Y will be more valuable than future cash equivalent of $X due to inflation?

Vitamin B deficiencies, shortened lifespan and more issues in fetal development

No, the government only sets drug prices. AFAIK private pharmacies buy and sell drugs at set prices and add stocking\service fee to sustain their business operations.

What is the incentive for a hobbyist to set up and maintain a gateway, given that the protocol is not open?
