Supposedly they'll turn it down if it's mastered louder than -14 LUFS. They won't turn it up if it's quieter.

I couldn't find a Youtube source for this but it's mentioned extensively online: https://audio.rswaver.com/blog/youtube-loudness-standards

I planted narrow leaf milkweed in my yard for the first time this spring. This is the first time I've planted something with the intention of it being eaten.

As a suburban California homeowner living 2 blocks away from a heavy rail transit terminus (the zone allowing maximum development, as I understand the law), I cannot wait for it to kick in and to see the changes it brings forth.

CEQA made sense at the time, and probably still is a good thing to control certain kinds of development, but blocking infill density-increasing multi-family housing does not really compute for me.

Most of my neighborhood, a non-city city of 100,000 people or more, has over the years decided to ignore the zoning, and build out makeshift garage conversions and single story housing structures. This indicates how hungry the market is for housing.

Pixel 9 owner and F-Droid user. I voiced my opposition by filling out this form (thanks azalemeth, from the earlier discussion):

Hopefully some reasonable people are listening at Google and just need to know that > 5 people use F-Droid.

> 'Hi, my name is Louise. I can’t stop using drugs, so I need your program,’” she told The Greensboro News & Record in 2021. “‘Oh, you’re going to kick me out because I can’t stop using drugs? Funny. I just told you that was my problem.’”

Something about perfect being the enemy of the good... :)

What a kick-ass and beautiful human being. Here's another more resonant obituary:

> had such a small security team of just 6 engineers

≥ Company refused to allocate more than around 10 engineers to the Security team at any point

If true, this tells the story here with security culture at WhatsApp. Assuming a backlog of known weaknesses (as any established code base will have), and the velocity that 100 PMs and 1200 SWEs implies, how would you do anything as a security team besides stick your fingers in the figurative holes in the dike? The ensuing conflict between Baig and his superiors about not fixing stuff is surely going to result in an assessment of "poor performance" but is likely just Baig giving a f** about user data.

> which I can't imagine tastes the same

Fairlife tastes excellent. I switched for the extra protein as I'm a bodybuilder. I bought the 3.25% fat version at first because I love the silky mouthfeel of a whole milk cappuccino. Then I found the 2% Fairlife satisfies in the same way as 3.25%, with less fat calories, and froths up beautifully in the pitcher.

> They also appear to expire 9-14 days after opening which doesn't seem all that different from other milk with practice?

Anecdotally I think it's better. I've never had to toss one (but they are half gallons) while I find myself tossing sour regular milk frequently.
