This really sounds like VeriSign has no business owning .name … best possible outcome would be transferring it to somebody who will retain the originally intended services.

Not only is everything subject to manipulation, but it’s incentivized—with a new opportunity to capitalize on the unwitting.

Why can’t I filter by $/TB??

I want to see the table sorted by lowest cost first, but with a $/TB filtered to be in the top 5% (or under some max value).

Interesting that he would consider software a new life form. I think our organizations are really the higher life form above Apex humans.

When we have computer systems acting as corporation owners, and we begin to thrive in working for those corporations… That’s really going to change the picture.

I think it’s newsworthy as related to managed web publishing/speech and the governance of online information. Did any Wikipedia articles cite this page? Do those need revision now??

This is a big win for China. Standards of Justice have moved tremendously in open seas.

With RO, could* focus on kitchen and bathroom sinks; amortized cost should be $5-10 per-month per-sink.

Toilet, shower, and laundry could all be low-risk with unfiltered service tap water.

Seems like continuous edge testing would be a critical first step.

End users seeing water content in real time would absolutely motivate fixes.

Via ChatGPT, some groups of Chicago children are average 6-8 µg/dL blood lead levels, guaranteeing they’ll face challenges related cognitive disability. 100+ years of this—and all they need is good water filters.

This should be a class action to get fixed. No way the government can fix this alone in a reasonable time frame without focusing on end-users first.

I’m confused.. effective ad blocking is now “piracy?”

I thought TiVo settled that argument long ago.

Edit; maybe not TiVo leading the disruption here: https://modern-counsel.com/2016/tivo/

I’d wish custom development could be minimized and everyone instead assembled next generation systems using the best open, standardized, and reusable parts.. which then could be sourced or salvaged on almost any continent. Just a wish.

Used GPT-3.5 to summarize these and tried to edit the response for brevity. Pardon any hallucinations here. Looks like it's mostly just different OSs all running their own software publishing/distribution portals. Lot of NIH maybe.

You're right on the isolate.. Just found this video showing how they're separating the starch and fiber from pea protein.

> certainly ultra processed

Pardon, but where's the ultra processing? Isn't pea protein just dried peas in a blender?

I figured ultra processed was reserved for things like ascorbic acid, pectin, and xanthan gum.
