The reviews are surprisingly good on Google Maps. For now.

Decided to pay for Kagi, and now Google results look even more ridiculous.

From methodology:

When the ATP was created in 2014, the first group of panelists was invited to join the panel at the end of a large, national survey offered in English and Spanish that was conducted by randomly calling both landline and cellphone numbers. Two additional recruitments were conducted using the same method in 2015 and 2017, respectively.

In 2018, the ATP switched from telephone to address-based sampling (ABS) recruitment. This means that invitations are sent to a random sample of households selected from the U.S. Postal Service’s master list of all residential addresses, the Computerized Delivery Sequence File or CDS.

I guess I'd be slightly more likely to look into a survey based on physical mail than an unknown phone call (which I would for sure ignore).

The ATP didn’t always include the option to take surveys with an interviewer by phone. From 2016 to early 2024, the ATP operated as an online-only panel where all panelists took surveys on the web. People in households without internet service were provided with a data plan and tablets that they could use to take the surveys online.

Interesting adjustment to be more inclusive.

The selection of news sources actually sounds pretty well balanced.

We also set out to ask about a range of sources across different platforms (e.g., internet, television, print, radio, and new media like podcasts and social media). Relatedly, we wanted to capture different elements of the information environment, such as both legacy news outlets and newer, nontraditional news sources.

This is Pacu Jalur?

Matches my experience trying to politely ask a local police officer why he and a delivery truck were parked in the bike lane.

How would that engraving have been done? Part of casting? Stamped?

Video if others are looking for it.

I just searched for "stereo pair MRI", I didn't have others that I've seen. Glad you enjoyed them!

Thanks for the additional examples!

Is the last one (lion statue & building) a reprojection? I didn't see depth (or parallax) in the background, just between the lion and the building.

Here are some fun ones of cerebral anatomy from neuroimaging.org:

Typical excuses of abusers, whether of one spouse/family or of a genocide:

Typical Abuser Excuses:

        “I was just joking.”
    “I was having a bad [missile targeting] day.”
    “It won’t happen again.”
    “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
    “It didn’t happen like that.”

  

But you can blame the overly eager way it has been made available without guidance, restriction, or regulation. The same discussion applies to social media, or tobacco, or fossil fuels: the companies didn't make anyone use it for self destruction, but they also didn't take responsibility.

On June 24, behind-the-meter solar made up as much as 22% of the power being used in New England at any given time, according to the Acadia Center. At 3:40 p.m., total demand peaked at 28.5 GW, of which 4.4 GW was met by solar installed by homeowners, businesses, and other institutions.

Nice!

Today, in the mid 80s and partly cloudy, our solar has been covering and sometimes exceeding the cooling load as well as charging the EV slowly. A residential battery would definitely help even things out (covering nighttime load as well), but there's no time-of-use rates or battery program like Vermont's where I am so it's not quite worth it.

Every petition starts empty, right? Don't present it until it has millions, but no harm in signing it now.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the suspect opened fire at the entrance of the federal government building, and border patrol agents and local police "helped neutralize the shooter."

I wonder if they'll learn empathy, or just outrage.

It's just a magic constant embedded in the standard conversational header, referencing an obsolete firmware version, but most users never update the client package so you have to ack it or you get undefined behavior.

My union-member partner is constantly horrified at the shenanigans my non-union employer pulls are not illegal. Starting with the whole "at will" employment contact setup.

Laughable for chess, but essentially how Steve Mould played tic tac toe using synthesized DNA.

Vice President JD Vance, during a visit to Los Angeles on Friday, said [sanctuary city] policies have given agents “a bit of a morale problem because they’ve had the local government in this community tell them that they’re not allowed to do their job.”

“When that Border Patrol agent goes out to do their job, they said within 15 minutes they have protesters, sometimes violent protesters who are in their face obstructing them,” he said.

Keep protesting!

From the ACLU, it sounds like having an attorney's number and asking for a supervisor might have been helpful steps. Still seems like obvious free speech suppression by CBP though.

Refusal by non-citizen visa holders and visitors to answer questions may result in denial of entry.

If the officers’ questions become intrusive or improper, you should complain and ask to speak to a supervisor. (This goes for citizens, lawful permanent residents, or non-citizen visa holders and visitors.) Although CBP takes the position that you are not entitled to an attorney during primary and secondary inspection, we encourage you to have the telephone number of an attorney or legal services organization with you and ask to contact them if you feel your rights are being violated or if you have been detained for an unusually long period.
