Why does that seem important? The “in mice” one makes sense (such results might not be the same in humans), but is there a reason to think that results achieved here in England couldn’t happen elsewhere?

They may have requested to be anonymous

i believe it is self-declared.

It’s a common thing for speakers of Singaporean English to end sentences with la/leh. But no idea if that’s what’s going on here.

i have questions about this! is there a way to get in touch with you?

Seriously. I feel like “performative” gets applied to anything imperfect. They’ll never stop 100% of murders, so these laws against it are just performative…

There are bee diseases that are so serious (American foulbrood) that if your hive gets it then the dept of agriculture will come out and not leave until you burn the affected hives. It is super infectious and can cause massive commercial damage if allowed to spread.

Wow this is my first time hearing about the Geodesk format. It seems super useful...I do a ton of OSM data processing, and I can't really do anything with it until it's loaded in to PostGIS, so this would save a ton of time/storage space over that.

From the way you described it, it sounds like there were openings and Biden appointed folks to fill those openings.

How is this different from any president filling any vacancy? By nature of the vacancy being filled, a future president won’t be able to fill it.

I was looking to use this with the iOS Books app, but I can’t share text to your app from there (but something like safari works). Any idea why?

Same! I reach for crystal when I need something that is going to perform faster than ruby, but man I get my hand slapped constantly when writing it.

This is mentioned in the John McPhee book referenced elsewhere in the thread, because there is actually an answer: when the cantons stopped fighting and Switzerland/Helvetica Confederation was formed, the Swiss finance/banking system developed to handle all the money being brought in by those folks acting as mercenaries and being paid to fight other people’s wars.

another option that would have been interesting to see here is serving PostGIS GeoJSON export -> tippecanoe encode. Tippecanoe is super fast, parallelizes well and built solely for generating vector tile data (with lots of configurable options that PostGIS lacks)
