Never heard of it until today.

> Spark, which launched in July, is a social feed of photos. It is similar to Instagram, but open only to Prime members.

There is the reason--thinly veiled way to encourage people to buy Prime. Facebook succeeds because "everyone is there." Not everyone can afford Prime.

Gregg is not the way to go if you're looking for a shorthand that captures text in the way you would need for programming or science and I don't know of a good shorthand for this [if it wasn't already APL.]

Gregg is very much a "visible" sound system from a time when people just needed to capture the conversations and later expand back into text with the aid of a secretary. That is, if you didn't mutate your shorthand for your own purposes.

You know, I had a sad thought about fusion-powered CO_2 and that was once it will be built, the energy is likely to be used not for CO_2 scrubbing but instead to mine Bitcoin.

"Cheap energy means cheap air conditioning. We don't have to change a thing!"

That's how it worked ever since, including coal and oil. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

N=1 situation: Found that drinking more water helped the joints of my back ease and reduced lower-back-pain.

After that, you need to do functional movements and lift-heavy-things, often. Not too heavy, but enough to prompt your body to improve its capabilities.

Perhaps this should be a more relevant link, or is JWZ intentionally redirecting it from https://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2017/06/14.html

Either way, the hairy-ball-eggcup picture is inspired.

Intentional redirect from Zawinski. This has been the case for years. Apparently he is too lazy and/or ignorant and/or antagonistic to host static pages in a way that the HN traffic bump is not a problem.
