I cut coffee for a year or so 10 years ago due to stomach issues, then slowly added fancy espresso drinks back, figuring that if I was only having coffee once a week, it might as well be fancy. I don’t seem to have stomach issues now with 1-2 lattes/cappuccinos a day.

Maybe it’s unrelated, all in my head, better beans, or the 3-4 oz of whole milk, but maybe give espresso drinks a try if you haven’t?


It’s likely a better roasting process and fresher beans. Large scale coffee roasters produce burnt, more acidic beans with chemicals added during the process.


Good point. It was all locally roasted beans at that point, so maybe that was what made the difference. Or at least contributed a lot.


I love coffee and used to drink it all the time, but now in my early 50's it really doesn't like me.

If I drink coffee my digestive system revolts in the the most disgusting ways. I miss it terribly, but its just not worth it.


The goal of using CRPS is to produce an ensemble that is a good probabilistic forecast without needing calibration/post processing.

[edit: "without", not "with"]


From the Raspberry Pi blog post on taking over Blockly:

> Platforms like Scratch, MakeCode, and MIT’s App Inventor are all built with Blockly. It’s no exaggeration to say that hundreds of millions of young people have learnt the fundamentals of computer science using software that is built with Blockly.



Voc is just the open circuit voltage measured at the terminals (plugs). “Nameplate” Voc is at standard test conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m^2, 25 deg C cell temperature, and a standard are mass/spectrum. The combo of 1000 W/m^2 and 25 C cell temp is not common in the real world in most climates, but still happens. Even relatively hot climates can have times in winter that exceed nameplate Voc if inverters turn off (making the panels go to open circuit).


Open-meteo does have ECMWF data and forecasts. Free for non-commercial use. I think the person behind open-meteo is on HN.


You rang ;-) I’m in the middle of adding more ECMWF data that will be released as open data starting October 1st. At the moment, only a limited set of lower-resolution (0.25°) ECMWF forecasts can be shared open-data. That’s going to change in a big way, though I can’t share more details just yet.


Hey! That’s exciting! Open-meteo is great.


Very happy Open Meteo campers for that, but meant something like Open Meteo for real-time lightning data.


Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but ECMWF provides a lot of data and forecasts for free [1]. And they are increasing the amount of data that is free [2].

The second URL sounds great. Thanks for posting.


Like from coal ash ponds that might leak heavy metals into drinking water?

“Of course Clean Coal couldn’t possibly be the reason. Your data is wrong.”

That’s all it takes for them to dismiss any argument.


Please don't lump me (GP) into "them". I think this is also of grave concern.


can you clarify your specific concerns around lab-grown salmon that you feel have not been accounted for with the regulatory review that was performed?

Referring to your "poisons the populace" comment. Do you have evidence substantiating your suggestion that lab-grown salmon will "poison" people? I'm substantially curious because as I understand it, the risk of heavy metal poisoning and parasites commonly found in wild salmon are eliminated when lab grown.


Sure, "poison" is hyperbolic, but my point is: the continued approval of extremely unhealthy food additives (synthetic petroleum coloring, oils that are extracted with petroleum solvents, etc.) is making the population extremely unhealthy. These food additives disrupt hormones and make food addictive. They also help to improve shelf life, an added benefit for only the corporation profiting. None of this helps the consumer.


Sorry didn’t meant to put you on that category. It was more a critic to the current political disclosure level going on virtually everywhere .


I don’t watch my local PBS over antenna much anymore, but it is great, just like you describe. Amazing what you can watch for free OTA, when you think about it.


This NOAA National Blend of Models (NBM) viewer lets you enable observations and then roll back the forecast initialization date to see forecasts and observations at the same time.

It’s experimental, and selecting weather stations is a little clunky, but it has some really cool info that’s hard to find other places.

Edit:

This GEFS plume viewer is cool, too.

https://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/users/meg/gefs_plumes/index.ht...

You can check a box to plot observations and then pick an older “cycle”.

Both are limited to the US.
