I had a similar experience with Google Photos where it merged the "profiles" of my two children. Like you, I tried separating them back out manually, with no real success. Ultimately, I turned the face identification feature off entirely (which has the effect of deleting all of the face data), and then turned it back on. It took a day or so for Google Photos to start re-indexing the photos in earnest, but that fixed the issue for me, and it was less work than the manual re-tagging that I had tried before.
A sqlite extension that provides a virtual table backed by an Automerge document (https://automerge.org/).
I believe that there are plenty of applications that could benefit from the collaboration or sync-ability that CRDTs* provide, but that don't need to manage the CRDTs directly. Moving the CRDT management into the database seems like a natural fit.
It's very early, and not public anywhere, but I'd be happy to chat about it if anyone has any thoughts or questions.
> I noticed that if I listened to a track while riding, I would remember exactly where I was the next time I listened to the track.
I experienced the same thing recently by listening to a book on my drive to/from work! I often listened to sections of the book a second time to catch things I missed, or to help ideas sink in, and found that I could often clearly picture the stretch of road on which I heard a passage.
Restaurant employees, preparing or serving food, could spread disease or cause harm, but are not obligated to be licensed. Would you support requiring cooks, servers, wait staff, etc., to undergo licensing?
They most definitely are licensed at the state, county, and city level. They require food handlers permits, and possible other certifications depending on the specific activity.
That said, these licenses are typically about $10 and can be completed by online website in about an hour. I would expect something similar could work for hair cutting as well, but probably not for all the more exotic things like hair dying.
Former Chef here from the great state of NJ: I have never been licensed. I've worked for some of the better restaurants in the state (including NYT 4 star reviewed and James Beard nominated chefs). I've never known a licensed chef.
The restaurants require licensing out the ass, and I know there are ABC (alcohol handling) certifications required for servers, but cooks don't. At least one person (typically a manager) needs to be ServSafe certified, but that's not a requirement for every worker.
Meanwhile, a hairdresser must be licensed before they can step into a salon and do work. My sister and wife both worked in the industry, and I promise you they would both scoff at the idea of a 1 hour form/test for someone cutting hair. There's a ton of hygiene related things that they need to know to prevent disease transmission from cutting and handling hair daily.
Cooks and other individuals have to get their food handlers cards. The class is fairly simple - you show up for a few hours and then take a test - but they still have to have a valid food handlers card in order to be employed.
The article mentions that the film served as their design inspiration.
"As for the design? Cash says they modeled the glasses after the 1988 film, They Live, in which a magic pair of sunglasses exposes the subliminal messaging in advertisements."
I can't really speak for the rest of the state but, in the late 50's / early 60's, Huntsville's Redstone Arsenal army base ended up as the home of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, as well as many of the post WW2 German rocket scientists. I think that over the decades, the focus on aerospace & defense has simply snowballed as more employers and workers are attracted to the area.
I think you make an error by implicitly assuming that calories burned (2k/day) are constant even as the weight is being gained (~300lb/30yrs). I believe that the mass being gained does incur some caloric overhead. So if you begin eating 5% more calories than you should, you'll gain weight, but the rate will slow as the number of calories your body requires approaches the number you're consuming. Therefore you could have a stable weight, while still eating 5% more than you "should" be.
All that said, I do hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong!
