  I think funniest trump bit was saying something akin to: “yeah, they got very important job, they get heads or tails, and say we raising or lowering interest rates, very smart guys these ones”

  Didn’t he lower them in 2018-2019 anyway, when stock market caught a sneeze?

  I assumed from the words “like temu” and general leagues penny pinching, they’ll probably get hit as well. But more importantly, europe for some reason might follow 😭

  It can be used to spy on any decent scientist who will send papers his/hers/theirs institution has access to, but their friend doesn’t. Much fun. As a reminder, publishers don’t pay reviewers, don’t pay for additional research, editing is typically minimal, and research is funded publicly, so what they own is social capital of owning big journal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla buys Anonym, betting privacy is compatible with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Moz has bought an outfit, founded in 2022 by former Meta executives, that among other things helps advertisers and ad networks measure how well online adverts are performing and that they are being seen by the right audiences, in a way that ideally preserves people’s privacy.

  …

  Asked to whether the Anonym deal represents a new strategic direction for Mozilla, the representative replied, “Anonym’s approach helps to democratize privacy-centric advertising by offering an approach that levels the playing field and prevents a winner-take all internet. In that way, it provides a compelling competitive vision to those proposed by the dominant ad platforms today, where data is consolidated behind their already high garden walls and advertisers and consumers are asked to trust them that they are protecting privacy.”

  For the three-month period that ended 31 March, the company posted a loss of $327.6m, which it said included $311m in non-cash expenses related to its merger with a company called Digital World, which was essentially a pile of cash looking for a target to merge with.

  soviet-hmm guardian write your shit better jesus christ. What is digital world, is it a pile of cash? Are they 300000 T-bills in a trench coat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dishwasher guide: salt will harm the stainless steel lining. What about salt water in stainless steel pots?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i think e. coli grow in the lab in like 4-8 hours. Thats obviously in specially designed nutrient soup, and they prolly start from more than couple of spores in the air shrug-outta-hecks

  Feely wise, in summer if i forget to put soup in fridge it goes bad in like 2 days, so more time than 1 day (and it gets friendly lacto something bacteria, so just gets acidic, not toxic). Fungi starts to grow in like a week.

  I think it (whatcha doing) is safe-ish from toxins point (cause 1 day when they grow exponentially in 3-7 days is much less of problem), but still seems sketchy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dishwasher guide: salt will harm the stainless steel lining. What about salt water in stainless steel pots?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And i should mention, that food safety issue is more connected to toxins from fungi/bacteria, not the organisms themselves. They’ll die at 100 C, but some toxins might remain intact. And after cooking pasta your salty water contains not only salt, but starch (food).
