The exemption only applies to businesses that specifically only make bread and nothing else. Even bagels disqualify the exemption
This is not accurate. The exemption applies to businesses that sell bread starting before September 2023. The exemption excludes restaurants that sell bagels and/or croissants but who don't sell bread.

The new technique described avoids the maximum limit on number of requests per second (per client) the attacker can get the server to process. By sending both requests and stream resets within the same single connection, the attacker can send more requests per connection/client than used to be possible, so it is perhaps cheaper as an attack and/or more difficult to stop
It seems like this rather indicates that the USDA erosion tolerance is too high to meaningfully slow the rate of erosion. 1mm is not a useful target given that the average pre-agricultural rate of erosion is 0.04mm--this paper says that the pre-agricultural erosion rate was much lower than expected and this means modern practices are still causing more damage than previously understood and tolerance should be lowered by an order of magnitude.
The experiment in the article explicitly does control for this
The participants (20 per group) were given sweetener packets of aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, or stevia, each bulked out with glucose to an equivalent size, with another group that got just glucose and another group that took no sweeteners at all.
In this experiment, the artificial sweeteners used glucose as the filler. They also account for the effects of the glucose filler on the insulin response in all groups by measuring the difference in the response.
If the cost of insulin is capped on its own, insulin will be more likely to jump in front of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists in treatment plans. That will mean more disease, more disability, and more death from diabetes.
This is the side-specific overheating issue mentioned--not sure it really speaks to the reasoning for thunderbolt vs usb-c on one or both sides but the side-specific charging issue was a real thing:

Warp drives, maybe not, but multigenerational space travel at slow speeds might actually require a certain amount of social cohesion and cooperative tendency, as well as a pioneer's ambitious personality--the rigors of the journey combined with those of establishing civilization on a planet without any humans to enslave and manipulate will add up to significant selective pressure on settlers.
Roll 1d6: 2. You click through to discover that warp drives are "having a moment" after "scientists" "dropped a bombshell"
Social distancing?
"Hyping", or "puffery"
The opposite of a paradox
It might be a data collection problem--the JMA has deployed a pretty dense network of sensors over their entire territory, which makes sense given how geologically active it is.
In fact the Earthquake Early Warning's "next steps" plan says "New sensors need to be added in California to shorten the CISN sensors spacing to approximately 12 miles to facilitate timely EEW. The shorter the station spacing, the smaller the blind zone will be because warnings can be issued faster."

How did you think those fancy things got into the movies? Why were those peers seen performing those actions?

Fiction: Many believe that paper bags are more environmentally friendly than plastic bags because they are made from a renewable resource, can biodegrade, and are recyclable.
Fact: Plastic shopping bags outperform paper bags environmentally – on manufacturing, on reuse, and on solid waste volume and generation.
Note: plastics industry website, but also see this NPR post which pulls in several independent studies: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2019/04/09/711181385/are-...
One argument that I think has been propelling kubernetes is that projects using orchestrated containers benefit from a consistent application environment, and such orchestrated deploys can be much more easily distributed when the entire stack configuration can be packaged, and it enables greater out-of-the-box functionality like autoscaling for the teams deploying these projects--the zero to jupyterhub project is a great example: https://zero-to-jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

How about, "Jeff, I used to love Amazon, but since you started fronting a bunch of knockoff products I can no longer confidently choose the lowest priced options--I wish your selection was less vast and more select, and I'd even be willing to pay slightly higher prices to ensure that the quality remained consistent even amongst the lowest priced products."
That actually describes the strategy of some other brands like REI which have higher prices but consistently higher quality products
If you really want to be off the record, you just have to get agreement from the journalist before you shoot your mouth off
Oh I didn't mean to imply any humility or positive traits in Jobs, I was thinking more about how it must have felt for his daughter and how she had to rationalize it.
The neighbors next door worried about the teenage Lisa, and one night, when Mr. Jobs was out, they moved her from his house and into theirs. Against Mr. Jobs’s wishes, the neighbors paid for her to finish college. (He later paid them back.)
Ms. Brennan-Jobs describes her father’s frequent use of money to confuse or frighten her. “Sometimes he decided not to pay for things at the very last minute,” she writes, “walking out of restaurants without paying the bill.” When her mother found a beautiful house and asked Mr. Jobs to buy it for her and Lisa, he agreed it was nice — but bought it for himself and moved in with his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs.
Ms. Brennan-Jobs said she wrote “Small Fry” in part to figure out why he withheld money from her even as his wealth ballooned, and as he spent it more freely on the children he had with Ms. Powell Jobs. She said she now sees it was about teaching her that money can corrupt.
It's almost as if whenever financial support was involved, he went out of his way to actually embody the moral corruption and decadence of wealth. It's an extraordinarily Spartan and hard-bitten way to teach these lessons. One must marvel at the mental fortitude required to keep coming back to him with such obvious love. She seems to have taken it as an almost Islamic lesson in peace-through-surrender, requiring the same absolute faith without recompense.

From 1987 to the present, Japan has been sending a fleet consisting of a single factory ship and several catcher/spotting vessels to the Southern Ocean to catch Antarctic minkes under Article VIII of the IWC, which allows the culling of whales for scientific research. The first research program, Japanese Research Program in the Antarctic (JARPA), began in 1987-88, when 273 Antarctic minkes were caught. The quota and catch soon increased to 330 and 440. In 2005-06, the second research program, JARPA II, began. In its first two years, in what Japan called its "feasibility study", 850 Antarctic minkes, as well as 10 fin whales, were to be taken each season (2005–06 and 2006–07). The quota was reached in the first season, but due to a fire, only 508 Antarctic minkes were caught in the second. In 2007-08, because of constant harassment from environmental groups, they failed to reach the quota again, with a catch of only 551 whales.

In 1966, minke whales became the target of whaling operations off northeastern Brazil (6° – 8°S) due, once again, to the decline of sei whales.
equivalently tasty to easily available options
Honestly curious, what are these options of equivalent tastiness? Do they pass in blind taste tests with any "mainstream" meats? Are they at the same (or lower) pricepoint? Do they have the same (or better) nutritional value?
A lot of people probably agree with your general premise that meat consumption is cruel, but will probably continue eating meat because of one or more of the above.
The issue which most people oppose is neither whale hunting nor whale farming but whale extinction. Sei whales and certain subspecies of Minke whales, which are the specific species mentioned, are listed as endangered and near-threatened, respectively, on the IUCN Red List.

Step 4: Pass test?!
Here's an interesting tidbit:
The tricky thing about THC, however, is that it is a large and complex molecule unlike ethanol, the main compound in alcohol, which is relatively small and simple. According to Tom Bruno, a NIST research chemist and co-author of the new paper, the vapor pressure of the THC compound is “very, very low,” which makes it difficult to measure.
Bruno, along with fellow NIST researcher and lead author Tara Lovestead, found a way to skirt around this issue by measuring THC vapor pressure with a vapor-capturing technique called PLOT-cryo. It works by trapping vapors in a solid substance that coats the inside of a small tube. Because the tube is so small, Bruno said, the process is very efficient.
“You don’t have to collect a lot to get an analyzable result,” he remarked.
The PLOT-cryo device works like a very sensitive nose. It can sniff out different compounds from the air, and has been previously used to identify explosives as well as decaying flesh.

How do you get coins if you're not an open source project? Is the idea that, when the mainnet launches, private individuals and the for-profit sector will buy coins from open source projects?
Their definition of wilderness area is quite broad and includes areas within national forests that are "de-facto" wildernesses:
Four categories of Wilderness area were considered for this analysis:
- Federal Wilderness Areas, designated by the 1964 Wilderness Act and subsequent congressional action. These are by far the best known and most numerous of the wilderness areas in the USA—there are about 750 of them, preserving federal land managed by the Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Land Management.
- “De-facto” Wilderness Areas in National Parks: In most large National Parks (e.g. Olympic, Yosemite, Rocky Mountain), the bulk of the park’s backcountry has been officially designated as wilderness area. However, three large parks—Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier—have large undeveloped tracts that are managed by park staff as wilderness despite lack of official designation. For this analysis, the large primitive areas of these parks have been included, since park regulations in these areas are essentially the same as in officially-designated areas.
- State Wilderness Areas: In New York state (Adirondacks and Catskills) and Maine (Baxter State Park on Katahdin), large wilderness areas are managed by the State government. Large parts of these parks have been designated as official state wilderness areas and are managed in a similar fashion to federal wilderness.
- Tribal Wilderness: Finally, a handful of large Indian Reservations have designated large areas as Tribal wilderness. Perhaps the two most notable are adjacent to federal wilderness in the Wind River Range of Wyoming and the Mission Mountains of Montana. These are included in the overall wilderness areas.
