CleanTech and the Job Market

April 23, 2021

From this piece on jobs and the environment:

President Biden announced a goal to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 – and the Biden administration says its $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan will help the country achieve Biden's climate goal of cutting carbon emissions in half by 2030 by building green infrastructure. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh says, "This is a once in a generation opportunity to rethink and recreate the infrastructure for the American worker and how we create pathways for the American worker back into the middle class."

This idea has been around for decades, but ...

Apple has yet to fix a scary security flaw that hackers can use in AirDrop

April 23, 2021

AirDrop security flaw

Apple has made user privacy a priority for years, pushing even further with its latest iOS update by forcing all app developers to ask iPhone owners if they want to be tracked. These are positive steps toward putting users in control of their data, but according to a new report from security researchers at Germany's Technical University of Darmstadt, Apple has failed to address a flaw that the university says it made the company aware of in 2019.

The security flaw that the researchers discovered is within AirDrop, which is a feature that allows iPhone, iPad, and Mac users ...

All Models Are Wrong But Some Are Useful

April 23, 2021

I was doing a little research into the relationship between wages and inflation this week and found a report from 1952 detailing the incomes of families in the United States in 1950. There were nearly 40 million households in the U.S. in 1950. Just 3.3% of those households made $10k or more per year while 77% made less than $5k. So you could talk all you want about candy bars selling for a nickel or houses selling for $7...

Nurse Practitioners Hit the Road to Tackle COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy

April 23, 2021

A boots-on-the-ground approach seeks to boost COVID-19 vaccinations in underserved and minority communities by dispelling fears, answering questions, and speaking their language.

More than half of the country's adults—135.8 million—have received the COVID-19 vaccination. But what about the other half? Many Americans harbor doubts about the vaccine, especially in minority communities, which have been disproportionately hit hard by the virus.

To combat hesitancy in those communities, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners launched a grassroots effort during Minority Health Month, meeting patients where they are by going door to door to schedule appointments and setting up ...

This nationwide food brand just recalled every single one of its products

salmonella recall

When a company has to recall a product it is often pretty serious. That's especially true when the product is a food item that may contain a harmful pathogen. Typically, just one type of food is affected; a produce company might recall lettuce but still sell tomatoes that are perfectly safe, for example. Unfortunately for Jule's Foods, a California-based food producer that sells its goods across the country, it has been forced to recall not one, not two, but all of its food products due to the potential for Salmonella contamination.

Faber-Castell's Perfect Pencil makes a bold claim in its name. Can one pencil really satisfy every single need? As John Steinbeck once observed, "A pencil that is all right some days is no good another day. . . . I have my plastic tray you know and in it three kinds of pencils for hard writing days and soft writing days."

Equipped with a rich, B-hardness core, the Perfect Pencil might be best suited for those soft days, but Faber-Castell confidently calls it a "true all-rounder" for writers and artists. What makes this implement particularly notable is not just its ...

Cryptos Are Crushing the Stock Market by 15-to-1

April 23, 2021

Cryptos have been on an amazing run in 2021.

The Bitwise 100 Index, which tracks the top 100 cryptos, is up over 150% since January 1.

Meanwhile, the Russell 3000 Index, which is a benchmark of the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks, has only gained 10% in the same amount of time.

That means the top 100 cryptos are outperforming the top 3,000 U.S. stocks by a factor of 15-to-1!

In today's Market Insights video, I take a close look at why cryptos are crushing the stock market.

Will You Get the COVID-19 Vaccine?

April 23, 2021

Look at this chart…

growing covid vaccine concern poll

It shows the percentage of U.S. adults who've not yet received a vaccine but who would be keen to get one as soon as they possibly could.

That number has fallen.

The percentage of those who say they don't want the vaccine at all has risen substantially.

That tells me that we're getting to a situation where it's not the supply of the vaccine that's going to be the issue. It's whether or not people are willing to take it.

And that could have serious implications for certain stocks.

DIY Faux Painted Marble Coffee Table

April 23, 2021

diy faux marble coffee table top - before and after

A couple of months ago, I purchased a new coffee table for the living room. I decided to get a new one when I rearranged the furniture to its current layout and realized that the edge grain plywood herringbone coffee table that I had made was way too skinny with the furniture arranged in the new way. (It will make an appearance in another spot, though.) So after looking at probably hundreds of coffee tables, I kept coming back to this mid-century modern coffee table with a stained wood base and white top. The choice was uncharacteristic for me ...

Is Apple tricking iTunes customers?

April 23, 2021

A federal class-action lawsuit against Apple in California looks like it's set to move forward, now that a judge has denied a request by the iPhone maker to dismiss the suit. US District Court Judge John Mendez in Sacramento appeared sympathetic this week to the argument from plaintiff David Andino that Apple is being too misleading with customers by offering "Buy" and "Rent" options in the iTunes store, for content like TV shows and movies that Apple users then either stream or download after purchase.

Andino's argument is pretty simple. We all know what the "Buy" option actually ...

Artist Eric N. Mack on a 1971 Frank Bowling Essay About Black Art: 'He's Arguing for the Importance of Innovation'

April 23, 2021

For more than 50 years, Frank Bowling, who turned 86 this past February, has been making abstract paintings that not only push the medium in new directions but also fold in nuanced statements about colonialism, racism, and xenophobia. In the '70s, Bowling was also known as a critic. For the April 1971 issue of ARTnews, he wrote "It's Not Enough to Say 'Black Is Beautiful,'" an essay that focused on the double standards to which black artists were regularly subjected. On the essay's 50th anniversary, ARTnews enlisted Eric N. Mack, an artist in his ...

$3,600 in new stimulus checks is on the way – here's when you'll start getting it

New stimulus check

Anyone who's been following the political dynamics around the possibility of a new stimulus check to deal with the ongoing financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic, by now, probably understands how unlikely we are to get another stimulus check in the near future. Republicans tried hard to keep the last stimulus checks from coming to fruition, and the fact that President Biden as well as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki haven't said anything about a fourth round of stimulus payments certainly doesn't bode well for anyone hoping for another check.

Here's the thing, though. No, we're probably ...

Terminating Friendships

April 23, 2021

On the surface, the meme here makes sense.  Who wants to terminate a friendship based on a difference of opinion?

Well, it depends on what we mean by "opinion."  If we disagree with matters of taste, e.g., art, music, and fashion, that's in no way equivalent to opinions that accept things like white nationalism, cruelty to children, indifference to environmental responsibility, religious bigotry and so forth.

In fact, I would argue that the latter really aren't "opinions" at all, but rather grievous character flaws.  Keep in mind that the great Aristotle told us that we are obligated to terminate ...

The music and the minds behind it are the stars of show, and the documentary, directed by Lisa Rovner, offers a solid survey of key figures starting in the 1930s and focused mostly on the ...

You're almost out of time to get the Amazon Smart Plug at 2021's lowest price

Take one look at the product page and you'll immediately realize that the Amazon Smart Plug isn't the cheapest smart plug you'll find. The company is asking a lot for this little gadget at $25 — heck, even insanely popular TP-Link Kasa smart plugsare only $6.25 each right now thanks to a sale that slashes them to a new all-time low price. Amazon's smart plug also isn't the most compact or the most feature-rich since it doesn't work with Google Assistant or Apple's Siri voice assistant.

Texas' deep freeze didn't just disrupt natural gas supplies throughout Lone Star country—its effects rippled across the country, extending as far north as Minnesota. There, gas utilities had to pay $800 million more than they anticipated during the event, and Minnesota regulators are furious.

"The ineptness and disregard for common-sense utility regulation in Texas makes my blood boil and keeps me up at night," Katie Sieben, chairwoman of the Minnesota Public Utility Commission, told The Washington Post. "It is maddening and outrageous and completely inexcusable that Texas's lack of sound utility ...

Van Gogh Painting from Coveted Arles Period Could Fetch $25 M. at Christie's

April 23, 2021

An 1888 Vincent van Gogh painting will be offered at Christie's in a 20th century art auction in New York on May 13. Titled Le Pont de Trinquetaille (1888), the work is estimated to sell for $25 million–$35 million.

Measuring at 25 inches by 31 inches, the painting was made a year before his suicide at the age of 37 in 1890. It is one of the few landscapes from his coveted Arles period, and it offers a street scene showing the Trinquetaille bridge rendered using the artist's signature expressive brushwork and warm color palette.

Natural bristles, such as weasel or sable hair, are springy and responsive, ideal for making fine, thin lines and sweeping thicker marks, but high-quality nylon bristles mimic the excellence of natural bristles and are more durable and affordable.

Apple is facing two class-action lawsuits over the meaning of the words "rent" and "buy."

In the first suit, lead plaintiff David Andino argues that Apple's definition of the two words is deceptive since the company can terminate people's Apple IDs and, along with them, access to content they purchased using the "buy" button. Thus, Andino is arguing that Apple allows consumers to rent content rather than purchase it outright. If he had known that his access could be cut off at any time, he says he would have not spent as much on iTunes ...

April 23, 2021

Photo: 35mmc

It's fairly common to come across a film camera with a busted light meter or one that requires discontinued mercury cell batteries to operate. Likewise, there are plenty of film cameras that don't offer a built-in light meter, including several popular Leica rangefinder models. Enter: the shoe mount light meter.

When NASA astronauts return to the Moon in a few years, they will do so inside a lander that dwarfs that of the Apollo era. SpaceX's Starship vehicle measures 50 meters from its nose cone to landing legs.

However, there are a number of great intentional leaks throughout architecture as well, such as the entry hall of Peter Zumthor's Therme Baths in Vals. The walls allow ...
