yeah autonomy and agency are the biggest work perks

dang even zealand didn't survive! new zealand got some soul searching with this outage which took down government person ID service, it's called RealME and it can be used to file your taxes apply for passport etc

pain

just buy some asian snacks... i've never seen an asian kid allergic to peanuts, when we first heard peanut allergy thought it was a skit

They trade it for 5% infants with egg allergy https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pai.14211

fascinating findings between ultra processed food consumption.. Figure 1 is insane!

Or Israeli: Israel presents a unique experiment because you have people from different genetic populations from different parts of the world collecting in Israel(eg Sephardic jews from Spain, Ashkenazi from central Europe, Mizrahi from Asia, etc).

Something interesting is that peanut allergies in Israel are far lower than for Jews living in Spain, central europe, etc...

One of the most popular snacks in Israel? Bambas - peanut butter puffs.

Yeah our doctor specifically recommended Bambas. Babies love them and they sell them at Trader Joe's.

Adults love bamba too (speaking as an adult who ate two bags of it just yesterday)

My definitely Asian wife's definitely Asian first cousin is deathly allergic to peanuts.

and now I can direct people to you for Asian with peanut allergies lol... but yeah just saying incident rate is crazy low.. I probably know indirectly around 2000 Asian or so growing up in Asia till I was 10 never heard of anyone had peanut allergies.. seafood yes, but peanut would be considered borderline theatrical definitely not anaphylaxis styled

Asian born, perhaps. A sometime co-worker's son, both parents being Chinese, has a dangerous allergy to peanuts.

Survivorship bias?

AKA evolution

Not necessarily. How high is child mortality compared to the US?

so they say.. perhaps they detected leaks and just doing some a/b testing now

examples often show the "spirit" of the invention it's intended usage if you like, which explains more what it does than name alone... also reason why I prefer wordy development notes than just a list of parameters it's useful for me to know whether it's what I want quicker than what I think I want based on name

WFH got stuck and commercial real estate took a haircut and it's investors took a bath and the sharks moved in and want some blood with whichever way they can

honestly given how long ago that was I'd not be surprised if everything's completely peppered with chips... one from the manufacturer, one from inventory, one from logistic, one from corporate espionage agent, one from foreign adversary state actor sky really is the limit with these. didn't parmesan put some chips in their cheese too?

Sounds crazy but car and truck tires have had RFID chips for years. I assume most people would be surprised by that.

Stealing people's tires is a common thing. So add an RFID reader to cars with ALPR gear, and they can see if any tires they come across have also been reported stolen. See, it's nothing but wins for the consumer!

And the marginal cost per tire at scale is very low.

Ah yes and then you can sell tire usage subscriptions: model XYZ can only be driven with an active monthly subscription

The ICs are tiny but the antenna are much larger.

Imagine if the crazies were right and the Covid vaccines actually did have RFID.

Then we would now have to wear tinfoil suits instead of just hats.

Wouldn't that confuse someone if they were to be scanned and had multiple IDs because they received more than one vaccine as time went by?

The RFID vaccine conspiracy was inspired by another, very different technology Bill Gates helped fund - microneedle vaccines with quantum dot records. I guess RFID was easier for people to understand and it became the go-to conspiracy instead.

The RFID vaccine conspiracy theory has been around since the 90s, back when Bill Gates was just a software robber baron, before his Lex Luthor arc.

that is IF the technician cares enough... unless you guys have stringent regulatory/right incentives in place. sometimes tech just relies on the brand reputation and pull for 10mins calls it a day

crbox just build boat loads of them? everywhere you're going to spend more than reasonable amount of time is worth it. filters aren't expensive, it's either they suck it or our lung suck it the rest are just talk
