They're terpenes that have been shown to increase serum cholesterol. This may explain why mine is 172 when it was under 150. Which is still a drat site better then the 250 and climbing when I was 35 years younger. Massive change in my diet back in 1986.

Florida ought to extend its castle doctrine to cops: if cops enter someone's property without a warrant, it should be treated as a home invasion and the occupants should be allowed to use lethal force with no legal repercussions. Given it's Florida that might make cops think twice.

Cops cannot conceive of a context in which they would concede to a criminal. They always win the firefight in their heads.

I only have a generic nespresso pod machine for when I am in a hurry, normally I used a generic manual espresso machine that a lot of people would complain " have to look and turn off, no auto turn off, cant operate steamer without reading manual " and it was cheap. I do have a refillable capsule for the pod machine but it is nowhere as good coffee using it than my manual machine. As for lightbulbs I have some in the living room so that it dims them if the TV is playing something HDR. mine are zigbee( generic zigbee bulbs and a hue hub), I could do that with a smart switch but - the condo HOA will gently caress me up if I do anything electrical without asking.

So I discovered something weird with Google's predictive typing. If you click through enough poo poo sentences appear. Example: Cheat 😉🤣😛 and a piece and I was like oh my gosh 😂😜🤣 is a good response from your end and you are not able that I can get a room and I was just wondering 😃 is the only thing I have is a good response from your end and what is the address 🤣😃 I just got home from work 😃😹😃🥺😂😜🥺🤣🥺 and a piece from last night 😘😉😘💕😘😁😁 and I are no longer interested than I will share you 😌🐱☺️😃😀😌😁 It seems to be based on the first word typed. In this case I said "Cheat" as the specific word and it results in things like "i can get a room" being constructed 1 word at a time.

PhazonLink posted:a 21th century civ : should we bring back Ideograms? I'm reminded of this book I'm reading called The Unfolding of Language. The book is about how and why languages evolve in time, and there are 3 main reasons: 1. Pure laziness - the desire to communicate words with less effort, which actually lead to predictable sound changes that have occurred in languages as diverse as Japanese to Latin. 2. Desire for more expressive and emphatic language. For example the Spanish -ísimo, or how people append hyper- and super- on adjectives. It becomes like a race where old ways of emphasis either become boilerplate features of a language like pas in French* and not in English* or are just abandoned like "epic" (which is so 2018 obv), and are replaced by new ways of emphasis. 3. Desire for consistency, which can whittle down irregularities in the language. Emojis fit criteria 1 and 2 quite well, being easy to type and expressive. Perhaps the use of emojis could even fit with Wittgenstein's thinking that words are just "pictures" of the world. * pas came from Latin passus and would be used with ne to say something like "not a single step". It's now just "not". * "Not" originally came the phrase "ne a wiht" which meant "not anything" or "nothing" America Inc. fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 11, 2020 |

The hypothetical is that landlords will link the device to their account, though. You can say "Alexa, deliver 1000 lbs of lube to my address" and it'll bill the landlord. Hacking is always a threat, but this doesn't look like quite the poo poo show the author envisions.

Yeah, it's a bad look to release what's widely regarded as a surveillance device to landlords for their tenants, but Amazon stands absolutely nothing to gain by not locking it down (to the landlords, not Amazon) as much as possible. This is basically just a marketing ploy to be able to sell hundreds of Alexa devices at once to people who otherwise wouldn't buy them.

The real play here is for consumer and business data. If there's significant adoption, Amazon could get a picture of everything from building vacancy rates (real and real-time data, not massaged and out of date numbers) to tenants' comings and goings in their homes. It's a surveillance device, but the Big Brother here is Amazon. They'd just be offering to let landlords have a peek at some of what they're collecting.

I know "alexia for landlords" has all the keywords to make a conspiracy theory but it's just like, a super boring provisioner that just uses the normal provisioning API and is just a thing the company strata IoT made. It doesn't collect or give any different access than any other alexa thing and isn't made directly by amazon at all. The story where the landlord adds his account is nonsense and would let you buy stuff on his credit card (and is something he could do without alexia for landlords if he just bought an alexia and added his account, which would be less steps anyway) .

Depending on your settings and permitions many keyboard apps use your email, etc. to build their vocabulary and this may include spam (about hookups in your area) and so on. Mine de rien à faire avec la même chose que le ministre des autres provinces et des provinces et des territoires qui ont des problèmes de santé et de sécurité au travail et qui est en train de se faire vacciner contre les femmes enceintes. As you can see my phone thinks I am a very French Canadian guy who is afraid of getting infected with a case of the pregnant ladies (a common fear around these places)

So recently something interesting has been happening in the Medical imaging industry. A new Israeli startup, Nanox, started raising insane money. About $60m in private capital and then a few weeks ago they raised over $150m more in an IPO. They claim to have come up with novel X-ray technology which is portable, low cost, etc. But they don't have a 510K yet, or even a real product. Their R&D team is just a couple dozen people, and AFAIK they haven't revealed a real prototype system. So naturally investors have been eating this poo poo up. https://twitter.com/techcrunch/status/1296907984933617664 Until this morning, when some group called Citron Research put out a report accusing Nanox of being the new Tharanos: https://twitter.com/citronresearch/status/1305862543622242306?s=21 But Citron looks like it has issues of its own. Its founder is an avid short seller whose gimmick is doing takedowns like this for profit. No matter who you believe, there's a lot of grifting going on here.

Eh, if short sellers are just putting accurate information out there and drawing attention to how the emperor, in fact, is wearing no clothes, then they're entitled to ride their short sales all the way to the bank as far as I'm concerned. If they're just making poo poo up to force the stock down, that's a different story.

Well their report does have a lot of lovely arguments in it. Citron doesn't seem to have any sort of familiarity with medical devices. No, you don't need to have GE Healthcare's resources, or anything close to it, to develop an X-ray scanner. And submitting a 510k is not evidence that your product isn't novel (though the fact that the 510k still hasn't been approved is a big red flag).

I'm really amazed at how much money investors are willing to blow on vaporware products. Their thought process is literally "does this sound cool?" "Do these dudes with fake glasses look smart?" Hell yeah here's 10 million!! They don't even wait for an MVP, or some evidence that the product will accomplish what it claims.
