That moment when you realise that every single ancestor had sex so you could be here posting on social media…

It’s interesting that you put the blame on the FDA. I’m not in the USA, but the effectiveness of a body like the FDA, the FCC, the EPA, FAA and all the others is directly related to how much money they have available and who is running the department; these are determined by politicians.

In other words, medical oversight depends entirely on whom you vote for and why voting is important. It’s the “little” things like this, not the defence or education budgets capturing the headlines that make the difference.

I’m guessing it’s because of concerns about quality control.

Pretty sure that Google provides both a html and an iCal feed that don’t require authentication.

Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.

Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.

Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.

Wow!

I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …

Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I’ll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I’m in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.

Here’s an example of me searching for “kmart sandles” on “google.com.au”

I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.

If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.

If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.

In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.

Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.

Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.

The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.

Thank you.

Science communication is hard. If the audience is scientists in the field, the text is probably digestible, but for anyone else, it’s just not.

Note that I’m not saying anything about the content itself, but in my experience, considering who is reading is useful in most cases.

It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…

And now in English?

Seriously, is this important information relevant to the general public who has no idea what this is describing?

I might also add that currently this word soup looks a lot like the gibberish coming from chatgpt…

Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.

And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

Edit: aa -> after a

If this was my problem to solve, I would host it internally, as-is, on a virtual machine of your choice, then create a a static html mirror version from the public information and put that up on AWS S3 as a static website.

If it’s static content, nothing beats an AWS S3 bucket.

This is history repeating itself.

Try looking for anything in relation to computing between 1975 and 1990, the birth of the home computer and you’ll discover just how much has vanished.

I’d expect that the person to ask would be the building manager.

For me, on Apple TV, it became unusable without a subscription.

Wow, you kiss your mother with that mouth?
