Link. We are frequently exposed now. And even hosp rate is misleading… “Massachusetts officials estimate that only about one-third of people hospitalized with Covid are actually there for Covid-related illness.”

Link. Park City gets 3-5 false alerts a day. I could never enable this feature.

Link. In the US many XC ski resorts have closed. Emily and I finally surrendered to snowshoes.

Link. The identity theft market suffers from a glut of potential victims.

Link. Casualties of Krakatoa, 5 years late.

Link. Damn.

Link. Udell is having fun.

Link. Apple really sucks at managing the App Store.

Link. Amazon is scammy.

Link. Had not occurred to me but seems inevitable. “businesses are not required to pay overtime to salaried managers who make more than $455 per week or $23,660 per year”. Need to make that 40K/y.

Link. Not a surprise.

Link. 2018 disappoints.

Link. It’s hard to see how Mastodon would survive — liability insurance, legal costs…

Link. “I got him down to the bottom where I wanted to chain him to the pipe and grabbed the cinderblocks to move him over closer to the pipe, to chain him on. And when I did that, the rope broke…”

Link. “Several people mentioned issues with sending floats in JSON, whether either they were trying to send a large integer (like a pointer address) in JSON and it got corrupted, or sending smaller floating point values back and forth repeatedly and the value slowly diverging over time.”

Ok,that’s real bad.

Link. Emphasis on OBSERVABLE. It’s likely the universe is far larger than what we can observe. I particularly liked that stars, in an odd way, are sparser than galaxies… ” If the Milky Way were a grapefruit in Seattle, WA, then Andromeda — the Local Group’s largest galaxy located 2.5 million kilometers away — would be a grapefruit in the same room, only about 10 feet … away” Recommend that vertical log map.

Link. Oookkkaasyyyy.

Link. I prefer photos from my old iPhone 8 over my 13 Pro.

Link. Aaronson did his duty.

Link. Needs fix: “RSS auto-discovery has been broken on the latest Mastodon release for some time. To remedy this situation, Feedbin will do some extra work to help determine where the RSS feed is”

Also: “Feedbin now has the ability to post directly to your Mastodon account”

Link. Good lede.

Link. Atypically peaceful red dwarf star.
