I think it's different for mini owners. I upgraded my battery in march of this year and its already at 89%, I blame ios26 frankly.

pedantic but who DOESNT remember 2004's Troy? Brad Pitt, Orlando bloom, Brian Cox, Eric Bana, my lord.

per capita seems the wrong metric given the difference in population sizes and America's wealth. They have roughly 4x the people and have added 10x new power capacity in the last 10 years, not to mention lapping us in renewable and long distance transmission lines added.

I'm curious, what have firsthand experience have you seen of solutions implemented by The Ocean Cleanup?

There will always be misallocation of resources in the private and public sector, I think the main point of this article is "trusting the experts in complex situations", which in my opinion is valid and needs to be said more emphatically in the current political climate.

“There was this spirit at the time that a few well-meaning young people with a lot of passion would find solutions, but for complex problems like this one, the teenage geniuses and their billionaire backers aren’t going to save us, and they’re going to take us on a wild and expensive ride along the way,” Helm says.

yeah agree "will you have spent more of your life procrastinating using screens than quiet reflection in a sacred space"

Disagree, and in a way it feels like we are dealing with inverse issues: the security "skill" is well defined and will be also engaged with by an agent. Communication companies are further incentivized as any failure is at best reputational harm. Meanwhile SaaS companies are not strictly required to have good UX for their human end users, largely because those users will likely work around the issue. also network effect vs low costs of switching for for comms

imo: sub-conscious messaging to get you used to looking at a loading screen for a large portion of your workday

not since X.AI got folded in

My friend was diagnosed with lyme disease in his mid-20s after years of symptoms similar to your own (brain fog, extreme fatigue, etc.). The hard thing is that even lyme disease itself is a constellation of illnesses, he had to work with mulitple specialists for years to confirm what the issue was and get the proper treatment.

In his case, he is mostly back to normal, albeit gluten intolerant, which will cause his symptoms to redevelop, namely spinal inflammation.

Its hard not to engender helplessness when hearing or dealing with types of issues, but I wish you perserverance in your search for answers, and grace when dealing with your problems.

I agree that pure science should not be cut and prioritized. The more frustrating thing about the type of sociological research you critique is that it feels like that data already exists somewhere - between health insurance companies, google, social media, etc. We know that we can de-anonymize data to get very specific actionable data for advertising. American scientists should have a Mega API from Palantir to ask their questions as well, and it ultimately won't cost as much.

Side tangent, I wonder how much China does these kinds of sociological studies, and the differences in infra/how they conduct the research. Lord knows we're not the only ones getting fat over here.

More likely if the FDA was properly funded these things could get reviewed more often and this wouldn't be an issue. Not updating allowed ingredients in over 20 years doesn't point towards a lack of flexibility, its debilitation.
