Murdoch media killed a story critical of Labor government member so there is not _no_ evidence of support here.

Aluminium designed in as heat sink perhaps? But not sure if this is so relevant in an actively cooled DC setting as passive buried under cables at a home workspace!

I wonder if it is because Tailwind is the target, and it's reflecting default Tailwind font stack. Brackets notation is often used for size values but probably pretty rare to use for a font stack, as this kind of thing typically goes in config.

Policy impediments to use are real! Your data gap-filler approach is interesting though.

Along this line… occasionally there is official but obviously-wrong data from even WMO accredited providers whose automatic weather stations ('AWS') are busted. Perhaps your approach would help provide a widely validated bound-check? The trouble is often that kind of undetected, obviously-wrong data, is also a symptom of 'we have no money to fix it'…

As anyone who’s been near government data publishing or asset tracking works attest - That’s a sure fire way to either publish stale/wrong information or simply lose trees.

I’m not in London but surely there is more than 100k in public policy good to be had in promoting trees as assets that are worth stewarding well. Is population scale care for trees with a month of arborist days?

Urban forests make air conditioning work. Consider it an indirect investment in power grid resistance.

They also help surface drainage. Consider it an investment in roads and stormwater.

That feels sensible to me. Facebook (used to?) do similar.

The risk here is different but you could imagine someone trying to migrate password managers and pasting a script they found on GitHub that purported to help.

With an optical muzzle flash companion to wake it / circumvent the speed of sound, it could even complain about being shot at! https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6685317

Yes! Do people still use it for EDMs? Or did responsive email kill this use case too?

To be fair TV ratings did this, just on a very slow inference cycle!

Ditto. I can’t see this being used portably so do wonder if the 2 hour battery life is a clue on how fatiguing the experience might be.

2 hours I guess covers a commute, but it’s hardly handheld form factor - how much bigger would it need to be to get “all day wear” battery life? It doesn’t feel like a real spatial constraint, so can only presume >2hrs is not required in actual use.

As a believer - thanks for the insight! Normative acceptance of bizarre claims must feel odd. I guess there is a passing familiarity with some of these stories in some of these communities that means they are either unexceptional or at least, not the “main game” as supernatural beliefs go — but that must have felt strange!

Most faith communities I’ve been part of have had some form of space for questions and encouraged discussion about stories they have heard. I’ve found probably 1 in 10 people would start a discussion about this and maybe half would engage with it, suggesting community is a big part of the draw but also that for a significant minority, community is centred on some of these “big if they were to happen today” events.

I do think wrestling with our reality to understand the nature of the world is a pretty powerful force for creating meaningful relationships! But this depth can also be uncomfortable or abstract at times.

I like your “programming at the edge” turn of phrase.

Centralised IT functions have some bearing here at an org level, not just the wider market. It’s vexed because while I deeply believe business needs would be better met locally, we still want a line of accountability on things like security and availability and data integrity that require a bit of longer term thought. Feature factory thinking certainly exists in bigger centralised teams, the kind that accrete management-speak and overbearing agile processes — but it’s also a false dichotomy to say “just build with the business and nothing of value was lost”.

The juxtaposition of those two ideas is interesting! It raises the spectre of low cost data transfer jurisdictions particularly from policy bloc arrangements. Essentially, what is the lowest cost data egress (defined in $/policy offence) from a given zone!

Humanities offers 'genre' as a solution to this problem. A test, we would say, might be more expected to seek formal proof based on self-contained assertions. As such, it is different to a conversation in the street.

This leaves the test author with a challenge of establishing genre as test rules-of-engagement.

True… and in practice how do you do anything without Azure AD? If all the juicy stuff is stored in 365 and therefore warrants P2 or E5 bundling, is it possible to unscramble the revenue egg?

If they can tease identity out, the rest gets easier.

Or, perhaps, weird regulatory/big customer energy saving reasons - “TCO” stickers and whatnot imply some kind of standard measurement, can imagine a “wake from sleep on source change” benchmark driving odd behaviours.

I get this on my domain, it’s called backscatter I think. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(email)

Less technical folks would likely complain about it, as it tends to resemble the spam that was sent from their spoofed domain (I.e. “re: fake pills” subject lines as the rejection message hits their inbox).

Not quite on the enterprise wifi side, but I have been pleasantly surprised that iOS has alerted me when I connect to a wifi network with the same name, at a new location. So endpoints can play a part in this.

I’m not sure if there is some kind of MDM policy that would restrict locations that are valid for wifi use, but expect it is coming soon.

Will admit my first thought was web fingerprinting opportunity…

Sell inappropriate product, customer isn't covered, death due to lack of (covered) treatment ensues?

FWIW, Google Groups powers email distribution lists for Gmail for Work. Or at least, the two are strongly linked.

At this point, unlike Reader, there's real cash behind the functionality. It's possible they could just fold it into Gmail, I guess, but with other mail interfaces like Inbox popping up in the Google ecosystem it seems if anything they're trying not to shoehorn too much more into a flagship product.

My guess is Groups will stick around for a while yet.

IIRC Google's TOS prohibits saving geocoded points. "Caching" is allowed, but I think this has value/is different insofar as it would let you store points permanently without breach of contract.

This looks like it's working now -- so possibly fixed after your comment?

Possible allusion to this scene in Inglorious Bastards? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ZouZSlNSc (The slightly phonetic spelling being of the last word in the clip)

While it would be great if the FDA did something about this, there are probably global dimensions to this problem also. Presumably antibiotics are used globally against strains of disease that spread quite merrily from country to country.

I'd assume epidemiology is not domestically constrained: the antibiotic/agricultural practices of one nation impact all others.

I have no idea what is standard practice for domestic agriculture in my own country. Things I think I "know" about agriculture are distorted through the prism of American cultural influence - documentaries like Food Inc., are writ large in the imagination even where these are only concerned with domestic affairs.

What resources exist that document antibiotic use on a global basis?

Sounds like it was just because it's free. (BizSpark)

iDeditor is great! Leagues ahead of other OSM interfaces I've seen :) Did MapBox have anything to do with it? Polished! Love the walkthrough!

I've just recently discovered (and love) TileMill.

It's pretty incomplete for parts of the world, and certain applications require accuracy (or at least completeness). The answer, of course, is to contribute, but when your core business isn't mapping that's hard to propose as a viable fix.

Parts of the world in my case ~= Sydney, which has a decent number of geeks per capita to contribute. OSM is wonderful, but has a way to go before it's a viable solution for everyone.
