six microns
Given that human chromosomes are on the order of 5 to 10 microns, I am thinking this export regulation doesn’t apply to the hobby market. This is “use the machine in a clean room” level precision.

I wish there was a directory of WFH friendly companies somewhere. I have done the math and work from home saves me a ton of money and time. Plus, it seems like an enormously beneficial choice if you care about global climate change. Small companies that are willing to figure out how to maintain a good culture while working from home have a huge hiring advantage.
They usually choose a subset of customers to try UI changes on before rolling it out to everyone. This way they can estimate the general reaction before committing to it. They probably also have a dozen different layouts and text for this dialog that they are testing to see what makes people most likely to click yes. Its all just statistics to them.

The USGS has a much better article.

It does sound promising, but it looks like there is a fair amount of work to make it economically viable.
Thanks, I’m just thinking there should be a button somewhere on the community or user profile. I’m guessing we are going to get a lot more of this crap as time goes on.
Yeah, it could also just be a complete scam to get PayPal info or something. I’m just surprised there isn’t a “report community” or “report user” button.
Feel free to report it if you can figure out how. I gave up looking for the right link on Amazon’s page.
Gadgetbridge looks cool. I wish I had known about this before buying a Fitbit. I wonder how hard it would be to add support.
I guess the libraries and schools can make the decision and throw out things they don’t find useful.
It probably also depends on the book. I have tons of outdated books on obscure topics within engineering, science, and computing. I doubt anyone would check out my 1995 book on the Vi text editor from a library. Although, if I’m lucky, perhaps it could be a collectors item some day. In reality, I’m probably going to just say “thank you for helping me so many years ago” and respectfully recycle the book.
Mind if I ask where? I would love to see the glow worms some day. I have only seen videos, but it looks amazing.
When I configured it, a 13" mac pro with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD is $1600 from apple, the 13" framework with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD is $1065. That comes out to a 60% difference for the most basic configuration I would consider.
I bought a framework laptop for my significant other last year and it’s amazing. It feels super solid like a Macbook but is easy to open and change out parts. Nothing has broken but adding some ram was probably the most pleasant experience I have had working on a laptop. Plus, the main PCB can run without the rest of the laptop so perhaps a great home automation server or TV computer if we upgrade.
My next machine is definitely going to be one of these. Way cheaper than Apple if you want more than 8G of RAM and a decent amount of disk space.
A bit more historic, but still very relevant. The FBI used surveillance in repeated attempts to discredit Martin Luther King JR. It’s chilling how they used the information they gathered to try to get rid of MLK any way they could. They were even trying to use information they gathered to convince him to commit suicide.
I liked the idea more than advertising to be honest. But it felt weird voluntarily giving them money while they were using ads too. Ever since I cancelled my last cable tv in the mid 2000s I refuse to pay for anything with ads.
I could certainly see this as another reason people defending car centric infrastructure would be defensive. Walking is truly miserable in many cities and some people may not even know that it can be nice. My area is decently walkable so I probably have some bias in my observations. I will keep this perspective in mind, thanks!
I have found people on the car side of things to rarely come to a discussion in good faith which is frustrating to say the least. However, I am advocating for coming to the conversation in good faith regardless. Someone needs to take the first step to connect in any argument.
I personally think walkable cities are a very good thing. But I think it is important to understand why some people value driving and become defensive.
Many of the people I talk to who are defensive about driving are concerned with the affordability of housing. These people are often commuting from more affordable areas and are concerned with anything that extends their already long commute.
So I think it’s best to avoid characterizations of these people as lazy or selfish. They are really just trying to balance their life with a different crippling societal problem. We need to be careful to craft our arguments for walkable cities in a way that appeals to a broad audience.
Hehe, I just grabbed the number off wolfram alpha’s size comparison. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are wrong, not sure where they scrape the data from. Anyway, my point stands, six microns is still stupidly small. Some dust or hair on the cutting edge and your precision is now out the window.
