What’s is the supposed business case for sharing raw, unmodified 42Mpix photos? And if they are still modified later on, and perhaps re-signed, that’s where I would attack.

I think rather than looking for a Linux flavour you want to look at various companies business models and size to see if it can sustain the ongoing cost of releasing and supporting a phone, OS, security patches etc. So far, Apple still has a pretty low % of revenue coming from ads.

Exactly - lead was known to cause harm since well late Roman times I guess.

These are overkill and way too heavy for headphones

I (and other) call Bs on classifying something as processed or ultra processed as inherently bad. Baby formulas, workout premixes, and also home cooking are all forms of processed food. It’s what you put in it and also at what ratio is what matters most. If you get processed food that has all the good oils and fiber and proteins like YFood or Soylent that’s actually more healthy than say eating “unprocessed” fried potatoes for example.

Write an article on that because you make it sound simple. Or better yet, start a company that configures this for companies.

Investing into an illegally tapped coal power plant in Mongolia is about as safe an investment as investment in crypto itself.

It’s really simple- real estate is the only casino where you are almost guaranteed a leveraged payout in the long run. So as soon as houses became an investment, the way to maximise profit is not to go for the cheapest but for the most expensive house you can afford.

Almost any beginner programming course states that algorithms are like recipes for a computer. Conversely a recipe is an algorithm meant for imperfect humans. If a recipe isn’t code then what is ?

As he correctly states- even n1 can lead to science, especially if everyone published similar journals there’d be a lot of ns.

There’s the concept of Zones and you can measure the intensity directly with a power meter or indirectly with HR. Anything that reaches close to your sustained max HR or max power is considered high intensity as it uses different energy systems to produce muscle energy And yes there’s overwhelming research that for a non pro athlete you should only do one or two high intensity workouts per week (and pad with low intensity sessions to get enough training time)

Fat oxidation only ramps up once you depleted your glycogen stores. That usually happens an hour into an exercise or so. So doing short hiit session does not directly burn fat but does ramp up your metabolism for the rest of the day.

ShotSpotter execs learn about Streisand effect the hard way. Living in Europe, I have never heard of the company, now I have.

Most people here are dunking on this specific industry not paying enough for skilled labour but the problem is more generic- that’s how we build the society around capitalism and we still seem to value capital more than labour.

Ha, same here - read two articles and signed up. I really like the writing style.
