I'm spending the winter making bread for my co-op housemates several times every week, and this time I'm taking the extra step to post photos throughout the entire breadmaking process. (See my timeline for the entire series.) One of the big secrets behind artisan bread is that there are two halves to the baking process; after wetting the top of the loaf, first the lid of the Dutch oven is kept on for 15 minutes of baking at 500 degrees, which prevents the top from cooking while the inside is busy plumping up (a phenomenon called "oven spring"); then you remove the lid and bake another 15 minutes at 475 degrees, which is what lets the top of the loaf finally dry out and turn a golden brown. Here's how my first loaf is looking halfway through the process, right when taking off the lid for the first time. Looks like my experiment today at dusting the entire top of the loaf with rice flour is going to be a success! Picture of the finished loaf in another 15 minutes!

A loaf of bread in a round "boule" style, halfway through baking in a Dutch oven. It has the shape of the final bread, but the top is still uncooked, because of first spraying the loaf with water and then cooking with the Dutch oven's lid on.

Here's where I'm at after Black Friday. I think Cinesamples has the edge on brass and Spitfire is better for woodwinds. Personal taste, of course. But Spitfire has me laying down flute and piziccato lines quite instinctively -- in a way I've just never done before. So you're looking at a very happy bald man in Brooklyn! Fuck, I can't WAIT to score the next season of my audio drama (I did some very modest cues for Seaaon 2, but I'm going all in this time!).

Telematik-Tarife für Autos - Die Versicherung fährt mit

"Sogenannte Telematik-Tarife können die Kfz-Versicherung deutlich günstiger machen. Bis zu 30 Prozent Preisnachlass sind drin. Allerdings bezahlt der Halter mit Daten statt mit Geld.

Herzstück der Telematik-Technik ist ein Sensor, den Kunden von ihrer Versicherung erhalten und an der Frontscheibe befestigen müssen. Der Sensor registriert im Zusammenspiel mit einer Smartphone-App, wie der Nutzer fährt, wie stark er beschleunigt oder bremst, ob er sich an Tempolimits hält, auf welchen Strecken er unterwegs ist und zu welcher Tageszeit..."

Today 15 French #CivilSociety organizations brought a lawsuit before the Conseil d'État against the social security agency Caisse nationale des allocations familiales (#CNAF) for its #scoring algorithm. The score is used to calculate a "risk" rating for people already on e.g. disability or unemployment benefits. Once again, as per @pluralistic 's observation, the most vulnerable populations seem to be a test case for #MassSurveillance and #AlgorithmicDiscrimation.
