I started taking 5g for cognition. Never any clear signal for that, but it does seem to help a bit with my (more than occasional) sleep deprivation. Mostly with fighting off headaches.

My first impression was that it was something about sales.

I want this but for blue vs. purple.

Twice the voltage == half the amperage for the same wattage. Are UK kettles higher wattage?

Great project. This begs for real-world feedback though. A go kart would be fantastic.

My son has Down Syndrome and is non-verbal. He's clever though and has found ways to wander off from his school and caregivers. As a parent this is terrifying. Eventually we tried AirTags on his shoes. It's an imperfect technology but it works.

Now do Google. A few that immediately come to mind:

* Accounts: Can't use a GSuite address for Youtube, Nest, or any other Alphabet offering. Never explained. 15 years of this.

* Sheets: Hide the sum option in the menu bar. After digging, you find the Summa character and click on it. Oh, it's a menu of functions, not sum.

* Search.

Same on Mac FF

This is actually a plot line in Landman, where the cartel occasionally steals the oil company's jet and then returns it.

This is great. I picked up weaving right before the pandemic and it carried me through. I've fallen off the past few years but hope to get back to it. Like any hobby it has the "I could do X if only I had a Y!" feature/curse that can potentially eat your bank account.

This is a great build and report. Even though you don't have great photo gear, you should try capturing a picture of steam in the light (as DIY Perks did).

As a layperson I go into this thinking that it sounds like "scientists make matter from light" but after reading it seems more like "scientists make fancy electric field with a laser".

I guess "solid" has a technical definition that allows for this sort of interesting interpretation.

I'm immediately reminded of John Mulaney's "Jerry Orbach's eyes" bit.

The screwed-in bowls and chained spoons, great stuff. :)

This raises many questions for me, having only a superficial understanding of the Soviet Union. A restaurant seems inherently entrepreneurial. Were they created by individual initiative or committee? Who did they serve? How did they weather shortages? Etc..

Something the article doesn't discuss is that many children born with Down Syndrome have heart defects, such AV canal[1] or Tetralogy of Fallot[2]. The prognosis without surgical intervention is poor. We were told our son with DS and ToF would likely have not made it to 6 without his surgery.

IIRC there's also a legacy superfund cleanup charge that PGE customers have the privilege of paying.

I am reminded of Txtzyme: https://github.com/WardCunningham/Txtzyme

it seems to be generally the same idea as 529 garage which is much more commonly used in BC/WA/OR/CA.

This read (to me) as "sure, but the REAL thing is over here", stated as authoritative fact, not a one person sample size anecdote.

Bike Index is very well known at least in OR/WA (I'm in PDX) and has been around a long time. I appreciate you're supportive of another effort but you don't need to push one effort down to lift another up.

Yeah, but it rhymes.

There's a middle ground. https://www.smud.org/ is a good example of a well-run public utility in California.

I misread the title as "Australia" and I was only slightly surprised and kind of impressed.

I see a hyperbole-filled abstract and a paywall.

*Whom

The Jetsons had this idea more than 50 years ago. :)

Tl;dr - that debt is in convertible bonds and if the stock goes up a few bucks most holders will presumably opt to convert to owning Tesla stock.

Doesn't that just dilute the stock?

Tangental anecdote: Every time I see Diff EQ mentioned the first thing that pops into my head is the number 11. That's the score of my first, last, and only Diff EQ test. 11%.

Welp, I am pretty sure the creator of LFE "gets" Erlang

Did I suggest otherwise?

'Elegant' is probably not a word I would choose, although it may apply at times. Erlang was the first place I saw pattern matching and is also how I came to actually understand list comprehensions, although I'd seen them elsewhere. There were other little things. And I liked the syntax! I don't think it was any one thing though. It was more the way things worked together, and worked much differently than other languages I had worked with. At that point I had been a programmer for 10 years and felt kind of jaded. Everything seemed fundamentally the same. I was even surprised now not-weird Lisp was when I finally got around to it. It seemed like once you get to a certain place with programming you think you basically have it all worked out and everything becomes implementations details. And then something comes along and shakes that understanding. It's that shake that I was grateful for. It was a personal experience. Others have probably had that with Haskell, etc.. I hope everyone gets to have that now and then.
