As a layperson interested in effects of compounds on the human body, this is not super surprising. It’s a vasodilator, which lowers blood pressure. That takes away one of the main limiting factors on lifespan - the heart’s ability to keep p

At this point, it’s the same as RF spectrum. Yet clearly there is no regulatory body to manage it.

Nuclear is the only technology that sufficiently solves the heat problem. Lots of our energy is spent on heat, whether residential or industrial. Nuclear produces heat. If only we used this for district heating, container ships, and elec

First, a nitpick - your numbers should be per million people, not per person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_oil_produ... Second - the output itself depends on management, so I'm not sure it

Others are suggesting practical reasons for having watch history enabled, but I would think that the vast majority have it enabled simply because that is the default.

I was also under that impression until the Cloudflare event happened. I do not actually know what their dependency was, but all shops were taken offline.

It's worth noting that there are a few open source email marketing platforms out there too. Sendy is $60 and obfuscates some of the source code. Mautic and Mailtrain are two that I have tried. In my experience, both have some odd areas

I've wondered if, in this context that we are in, it actually starts to make sense to both raise interest rates and simultaneously monetize government debt. We want some inflation, but we also do not want a late-1980s-style Japanese

I've been using Node Red for a few automation things too, basically as a self-hosted ifttt/zapier, and it's been working well. I would recommend it beyond home automation for the kinds of things that are "too small"

This is not totally true. It’s not 100% syntax. Elixir has one additional and widely used feature: macros. In Elixir, as in Lisp, you can transform your code as a data structure into new code. This is importantly used in Ecto, the de-facto

Mine were down and just went back up. What really made me panic was when seeing no issues on the status page: https://status.firebase.google.com/ For a moment, I thought it was an issue with my account.

They get you to sign up, give your credit card, use their nameservers, and then if you get any serious traffic, they will conveniently be there to offer extra features with a paid plan. In my opinion, this is exceptional marketing.

The objections to DragenFly are not about what is best for the Chinese citizen. This is not the concern in the signed letter. It is also not related to any of the core concerns from commenters here, as far as I can tell. Yet somehow, many

I've wondered what would happen if Apple acquired DuckDuckGo. In theory, Apple could overpay a lot and still make a ridiculous return by using it as their default search engine. The usage would multiply overnight. It would also reinfor

I disagree. I think the Boring Company FAQ addresses both labor and station costs fairly directly. Labor: they want to increase automation so there are fewer workers needed, and tunnel faster so they can pay for fewer hours of work. Station
