I appreciate that feedback! I'll fix those issues up. It's definitely a v1 sort of thing but my daughter's seemed to love it. And yeah UI is hard, this is my first go at that as a mostly backend engineer.


We honestly don’t know. Current safety standards mostly focus on preventing tissue heating, because that’s the one effect we can reliably measure and understand. But there’s a chunk of exploratory research out there looking at potential “non-thermal” effects—things like subtle shifts in cell signaling, membrane permeability, or oxidative stress—that might not show up as a measurable temperature increase.

So far, the studies that have been well-designed and replicated haven’t consistently nailed down a clear causal link between non-thermal EMF exposure (within the limits that regulators consider safe) and actual health problems. Still, some researchers argue that we’re not accounting for all the slow-burn, cumulative effects that might be happening. It’s not easy to tease out these subtle influences from the noise of environmental variables, and that makes it hard to really say we’ve got a handle on the whole picture. Check out Prof Michael Levin's Bioelectricity work if you want to go down a very interesting rabbit hole about what we're only recently discovering about how our biology might really work and how electricity and emf's shape it.


Not the man made kind, which are different from natural sources and greatly increase the background EM fields we live in.


EM radiation is defined by it's wavelength and amplitude. Whether it is from a 'natural' source is completely irrelevant in terms of the effect it has.

I guess humans have changed the mix of wavelength we are exposed to a bit. E.g. more RF radiation from phones and base stations. But I'm not sure how significant those changes are in the overall 'background EM fields we live in'.


Why are brazil nuts bad exactly? I eat a couple daily to help with symptoms from hashimoto's and test my selenium levels frequently since not all nuts are created equal.


Bram has a talk where he goes into the issues with Proof of Stake, centralization and categories of issues that don't exist in proof of time and space: https://youtu.be/2Zlcgt8FVz4?t=510


Chia team anticipates an S curve where adoption will level off and at that point it'll mostly be companies or people that have extra storage laying around and figure 'why not' store some plots on these disks to try to earn a bit of money. Or orgs plotting to new servers while they're waiting to be used, deleting plots as the storage is needed.

They also argue it's more green because if you don't want to store the plots, you delete them and the storage is still available as normal storage for other purposes. With PoW, you have specialized hardware that isn't useful for other purposes and you burn a lot of electricity all the time securing the network.


Tried connecting to MySQL 5.6.10a RDS Aurora cluster with username/password and SSL enabled, much as I'm able to do with other clients, but handshake fails with `140230041270248:error:100000f0:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL:../../third_party/boringssl/src/ssl/handshake_client.cc:568`

Maybe boringssl is too new for my version of mysql supported tls protocol versions?


Can you file a ticket with these details and I'll add it to my bug squish marathon!


Good trolling on his part. New twitter account with no credible info about him to be found.


Some context on how this list was curated and what it means would be useful.


From their blog post (https://blog.wealthfront.com/announcing-2020-career-launchin...)

"To qualify for our list of mid-sized companies with momentum, a company must be US-based, privately held, have a revenue run rate by year end of between $20 million and $300 million, be on a trajectory to grow at a rate in excess of 50% for at least the next three or four years, and have compelling unit economics."


I gave this a go today and managed to install huginn on my synology nas by simply searching for the docker container. I then setup 3 agents to scrape a Shopify webstore jason endpoint that I’m always checking for inventory, have huginn parse the json and send me an sms via twilio if inventory changes. Took about 2 hours, wasn’t too bad. Huginn twilio docs seemed dated.

Used python simplehttp server and ngrok to replicate a json url and play with the triggers to test it all before pointing it at a real website.

Nice to add a new tool to the belt, thanks!
