i suspect a lot of tools will try to fetch the url without explicit user action (e.g. messengers do that kind of crap). Gotta be hard to keep keys non-revoked, which is a nice side-effect

If you don't use heat pump (which can have 300-500% efficiency), whatever you plug into a wall socket will produce heat at exactly 100%. So the real choice here is either monetize what you are doing with electricity or using a heat pump


my friends have been heating their apartments in the winter mining cryptocurrencies. they're not into crypto, in that they don't do it in the summer, it just helps offset the cost in rentals without heat pumps -- gamers who've already purchased the gpus


1) they do protocol sniffing, and any inconsistency (including statistical) gets you blocked 2) "white list mode" which engaged sometimes (poorly implemented atm), means nothing goes outside of country at all (means 99.9% of everything is broken). They really want to become North Korea soon


Are any streaming sites allowed? It should be really easy to make a VPN through HTTPS tunnel appear to have a traffic pattern exactly like you are streaming videos and/or music (depending in the bandwidth needs) by throwing discardable traffic through when no valuable traffic is needed.

Obviously, everything can be cut off, but the point is that if encrypted something is allowed, there should be a way to get anything through.


If they turn off the internet, that gives you more time to meet your neighbors and do "arts and crafts" and read (cook)books. He's getting so old, at some point the horse throws him off


> How are you suffering equal heat stress from being submerged in moderately warm water

by the rules of this universe, you can't survive being submerged in 40C water for a prolonged period of time (even 37C would kill you as well), because humans produce heat and if you can't dispose of it you'll overheat and be dead soon enough


The goal isn't to not survive though, is it?

So while I definitely think it's possible that hot baths and sauna have similar effects, I don't think this can be shown by simple thermodynamics and would require medical studies. Some sibling comments have already mentioned some.

To be clear, my objection was only to the supposed explanation/assertion of resulting core temperature being all that matters, not to the possibility that that's true.


Humidity is the key, Finnish style sauna is low humidity+ high temperature (85-115C is OK i think), while Russian banya-style is low temperature (60-80C with high humidity). Both of them produce about the same load on a human


Right, and Turkish-style hammam is 50C at 100% humidity. It's the only one I cannot stand.


My problem with turkish style hammam is that unless it's extremely well maintained it often smells of mold. When I went to some nice hammams in turkey, I didn't have that problem but outside of turkey, it's often unbearable.


That's interesting. I don't have much the habit of doing sauna, as you can likely tell, so I might have tried only high humidity saunas. I'll give it a try one day with low humidity if I find one.


it is also very common to pour some water on the hot rocks. you feel the temperature a lot more, the instant the water gets poured.


* VP9 where AV1 is not available (default YouTube codec, almost universally hardware-supported). Also universally supported .webm is vp9+opus - which mostly used as modern .gif


VP9 works well too and more supported (default YouTube codec)


Do note that in current economics 32GB of RAM alone will cost something like $400

Give me pointers please. Getting same headaches every day. Clicking on icon in dock, closing some window produces random results every time, across many, many apps


v7 exposes creation date, and maybe you don't want that. So, depends on use-case


I think I read something once about using v7 internally and exposing v4 in your API.


Or even an autoincrement int primary key internally. Depending on your scale and env etc, but still fits enough use cases.
