It's arguable that Acetaminophen shouldn't be an OTC drug. And that, had its liver toxicity been fully understood, it probably wouldn't be.

At the time, it apparently seemed a good alternative to aspirin which does cause some number of people to have stomach problems. (As well as having a particularly extensive repertoire of only somewhat understood physiological effects, for better or worse.)
Given the doctors seem to be telling everyone over 50 to take a daily aspirin, I would think that a goodly chunk of people aren't sensitive. It might be the low dose people are taking.
it's a veritable fuck-ton. the usual modern dose is 325mg.
Thats because post-PC devices infantilize the user.

Just watch the number of "permissions" involved when dealing with Android apps. Something that also crop up if you attempt to use Windows UWP apps for anything productive.

Effectively for profit malware and big media fretting over piracy has lead to an attempt to cram the freedoms afforded by the PC platform back in the bag.

This in turn result in a generation of products that are useful only for posting selfies and watching the latest slapstick on Youtube.

I wonder how long it will be before MS require a registered company for buying anything running "pro". Something akin to requiring that one is a legally certified and registered computer engineer before one can own and operate a debugger.
I really love seeing articles like this come out about Rust.

It's language design the way it should be: incorporating the cutting edge ideas from academia while still striving to cater to beginners; drawing on the strengths of other languages communities to build out good library and solutions to package management; designing everything in the open, and constantly seeking feedback from their users.

It's a great blend of theoretical CS, HCI, computer systems, and application development, and it's always fun to hear about what they're up to.
I had a Hong-Kong made II+ clone which reported itself as "V.S.C. 1203" on power up (top line of the screen, where you'd see Apple ][+ in an original).

Only meagre Google result for searches related to this:

This is apparently a digitized archive of some 1984 issue of a newspaper from Burlington, Vermont, in which a classified AD mentions an "Apple II Clone made by VSC" which might be the same manufacturer.

I still don't think I've seen anything better than the old QBasic. Simple IDE, simple syntax, all the batteries included, awesome integrated language documentation. And it's hard to go from 0 to drawing graphics on the screen any easier.
As you said, open platforms allow untying them from specific owner. If you use any platform, it's a dependency, sure. In this sense it can be a hard to replace dependency. That's a separate problem though from platform being available from one place only. The later is vendor lock-in, which I was talking about.

> There are really significant downsides to open platforms.

Comparing downsides makes sense only if competition is on merit. MS and Apple don't compete on merit, because of the lock-in above. One of the glaring examples of this garbage is Apple banning competing browsers on iOS.

> Apple and MS build closed platforms because that ends up being hugely better for their users.

No, they do it to get that insane retaining percentage caused by lock-in. When they are forced to compete on merit, it quickly shows they aren't anywhere "hugely better", and often they are simply worse. The article highlights this point.

Green, but definitely not cheap or stable. Thermal solar is not very efficient and the plants are extremely complicated. They use molten salts that can freeze solid inside the pipes, and are also extremely potent oxidizers capable of starting huge fires.

Ivanpah is expensive and consistently underperforms and has to make up the difference with natural gas. It freezes solid each night and has to be reheated. The nature of thermal solar also means you can't really take advantage of scale, so the problems aren't likely to get any better even if they get built even bigger.

There is essentially zero chance that solar thermal will ever be better than batteries. Ivanpah has 392 MW of capacity @ $2.2 billion, and produces 1.75 GWh per day. Utility scale solar panels are below $1.42/watt[1]- $557 million installed, with land, tax, and inverters. The average price of lithium batteries is below $150/kWh, which would be 788 million for 3 days of storage. Altogether that's 61% the cost of Ivanpah using the average prices from last year. It's also roughly on par with current electricity prices (12.2 cents vs 10.3 cents, but NB residential is 12.6 cents)

Solar city claims panels costing 55 cents per watt and Tesla expects to get below $100/kWh for cells by 2020. If those prices held the cost for a solar plant with 3 days of storage would be 740 million, and the cost of electricity would be 6.8 cents/kWh.

Shipwreck Diary of a Content Marketer
There's lots of good reasons for this- phones doing the same job being the key one- but I wonder if people are paying attention to the replacement time on tablets as a possible cause as well?

My wife bought a Nexus tablet a few years ago. It's tough enough to survive minor drops or bumps and we don't take it outside of the house ever so I have a hard time imagining it breaking. At the same time, the things we use it for are simple and we won't really ever need to upgrade to a better tablet.

So why would I need to buy a tablet again anytime in the next decade?

Maybe part of the reason for declining tablet sales is just because everyone who wants one already has one?
Why do you say premature? Maps, for example, being such a crucial and widely-used data type, should be optimized as much as possible. There's nothing premature about using `unsafe` to build a highly-efficient Map.

Avoiding Consequences
>But not daily. I probably take it once per week on average.

My grandmother shits and pukes blood if she takes NSAIDs of any kind, from long-term, daily misuse. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit, I wish I was.

A direct result of being denied access to proper pain relief, mind you, mainly because she lived her entire life without health insurance. Until she turned 65 and qualified for Medicare last year.
I had to take every NSAID out of the house, and throw them away, because every time she ran out of opiates for pain relief she'd over-compensate with a handful of NSAIDs which resulted in some scary events, including coffee ground bowel movements which were in fact blood from her stomach. As well as constant vomiting, etc.

My grandfather is similarly damaged from being recklessly over-prescribed NSAIDs, namely 800mg ibuprofen up to 8 times per day, resulting in shitting and puking up blood. He can't have more than an 81mg aspirin now.

/anecdotal evidence
But that's completely beside the point: the point is that you can't have the libertarian-utopia-chain without also getting the hacker-got-away-with-his-loot chain.
That is completely correct. It also has synergistic effects as a pain reliever, but it's mainly there to deter abuse.

Of course, addicts have found ways to extract the opiates from the adulterants, so it's not even effective.
Dropping the tablet specific UI in Android (it was in 4.1 or one of the other Jellybean releases, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich had a good evolution of the Honeycomb UI) for the giant phone UI was where I started to sour on tablets in general.

It is not an exaggeration, because Cargo doesn't support avoiding recompilation of the same dependencies across multiple projects.

So if project A and B both depend on the same version of lib X, without any change on build flags, lib X will be compiled twice.

In C++ using binary libraries, only liking will occur.

Even if compiling from source is required, build systems like Clearmake allow for sharing object files across projects.

I do expect that Cargo might eventually support such scenarios as well, otherwise it won't be appealing to some of us.

It gets really tiresome how hard it is for some people to do anything but pattern-match every possible conversation to the same few narrow political conversations.
I've seen some people and some attitudes out there that believe it really is. Some of the same people have no problem biting the hand that feeds them, it seems. Or rather, biting the hand that they're asking "please sir, can I have some more" of.
Over the past 5-10 years I've gone from being mostly optimistic about our collective future to quite pessimistic. It's looking increasingly likely that we're unable to solve problems like climate change that require mass cooperation and that too many people are too selfish and short-sighted to allow for collective action. And in the (hopefully unlikely) event that industrial society collapses (from a pandemic, mass political instability, etc) any surviving humans won't be able to restart it because we've already used all of the "easy" fossil fuels. This is pretty much our only shot at making civilization work.
These switching numbers do exist but they're coming from Apple so take it with a grain of salt. It's like DXOMark never reviewing the iPhone 7 Plus while Google claims how much better their phone is compared to the iPhone. The numbers are true but the bias is strong.

4.1 did so for screen sizes around 7". 4.3 or 4.4 did so far anything 9" and up.

There were some elements added to the base phone UI when using a tablet though. For example you either get notifications or the quick options depending on what half of the top bar you swipe from.
lol, no.
I think the presence of unsafe code makes it more important that the lib goes through this process, rather than less. Provided the unsafe code is necessary, of course.

That unsafe code is filling a want or need, so otherwise people are going to use crates that haven't gone through the process, or even worse, roll it themselves.

> Why is it beyond the scope of science?

I don't know if this is what the parent meant, but I interpreted that statement to mean that the concept and explanation of consciousness is beyond our current scientific frame of reference.

Think about past frames of reference which "science" attempted to utilize, to some effect and failure. I put quotes around science for a reason, because I have a specific example, to wit:

Think about alchemy. To a certain extent, a form of scientific process was used by these early - for lack of a better word - proto-chemists. They pondered, came up with ideas, experimented, took notes, compared results, etc. They discovered new substances and compounds we use to this day; they created the prototypes of some of the lab equipment still used. Their methods ultimately led to our current "scientific method" of inquiry.

But despite their successes and failures, despite their best attempts and experiments, in many ways they were hampered by the framework of "science" they were investigating. For instance, they knew little to nothing about atoms or elements - instead grouping things into the "classical" elements of earth, fire, water, and air (and in some cases "spirit"). They still had a mindset of "like for like", meaning that their experimentation led to them using substances or similar that had some nature which was like what they were attempting to perform or gain the result of.

I won't belabour this point - only to say that because their framework of reference limited them, they couldn't make the "giant leap" forward that was needed to really understand and do what it is they were trying to do (let's not dwell on the philosophical/spiritual aspects of the so-called Philosopher's Stone quest).

So perhaps that's where we are today, in regards to science and trying to explain and understand consciousness? That isn't to say we won't eventually be able to explain and explore the topic; our nature of asking questions, trying experiments, coming at the problem from a myriad of different angles, and the collaboration between these disparate fields will likely lead us to the knowledge (and also it will open up many more questions, as it always has and does). As noted in the article, we are taking more steps even today - and I am also pleased to see that there is a greater collaboration going on between the fields and people who deal with this at a basic level - the physicists, the neuroscientists, computer science, biologists, etc. This kind of cross-fertilization is absolutely needed in order to understand this problem.
(on my phone right now)

Hasn't this been known for a while now? (with COX-2 NSAIDs specifically, like Advil). Even the standard book "The Biology Of Cancer" (2014) mentions it in passing in one of the later chapters.

I believe there's even been trials where NSAID is applied topically during biopsy, reducing chance of mets.

If I recall correctly, suspected mechanism is some sort of correlation between COX-2 inhibition and decreased expression of CTLA4/PD-1.

It's kind of sad, but it seems that too often vital lines of research sit on university shelves for years before anything practical is done about it :/

Either this author does not understand basic economics or they are intentionally misrepresenting what Volcker did.

Volcker raised interest rates because of 1) high inflation, 2) tight access to capital, and 3) weak US dollar. By any measurement, the US was already in a recession before he even came to office.

What this author implies is exactly the opposite of what happened -- that rather than responding to a recession, he created one. And although high interest rates definitely had negative consequences, continuing with the previous mometary policies would have been worse.

California Senate Recognizes Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month
Looking at the legal definitions of evasion and obstruction, I don't see anything that applies, especially considering the typical use cases. Obstruction charges usually stem from providing false testimony or evidence, tampering with evidence, or witness tampering.

Evasion - for Portland, they haven't been formally approved from what I read. Doesn't necessarily mean that because they aren't formally approved that the actions are illegal. But I also see that Portland passed a law in Dec 2015 to allow Uber and Lyft on a permanent basis under existing transportation laws that would require them to provide trip data to the city, conduct background checks, etc.

Trying to avoid contact in the course of an investigation or other formal proceedings is generally not illegal. Think about process servers trying to serve papers like subpoena's, decrees, or other court documents on behalf of the state. It's not illegal to avoid those people and try to hide from them. You don't get obstruction or evasion charges even if you are fully aware they are trying to serve you and make efforts to avoid them.

Except on hacker news, I associated hacker with someone who produce low quality code - hack is a dirty trick that does job at hand but breaks architecture and will likely cause problems in the future.

So you're willing to suffer reduced inefficiency just so someone else has a job? Why not just hire the teenager to stand around doing nothing then? Then you get the benefits of both!

Risks? I also cited actual, real benefits. How do I order my sandwich with a different kind of bread with the teenager? I don't. It's not possible. The customers behind me will get very mad if I ask the teenager to list off all 20 different kinds of bread, and to show them all to me personally too. The teenager likely will not do as I ask here, plus it's a massive waste of my time too. Ordering from humans works OK when you have a very short and simple menu so there's little chance for confusion, but this means it's quite impossible to have a lot of selection.

How about this idea: let's get rid of computer monitors, and replace them with verbal-only interfaces. How well do you think it's going to work out if you want to order a pair of shoes on Amazon.com (or any online store) when you can't even see them, and just have something reading text into your ear? Or, because you're so concerned about employment, maybe we should ban computer users from reading monitors, and require them to hire people to read stuff from the screen to them!

Finally, would you mind if I came over and smashed your car windows? You shouldn't; you should be happy, because that means someone will have a job replacing those windows.
Making a personal remark on someone just because (presumably) they have a different opinion on certain matters is pretty low.

I'd highly recommend using a type system like Flow to enumerate the shape of possible actions the store should support. This brings numerous advantages:

1. You can use strings for action types, no more need to import constants.

2. No need for action creators for simple actions, you can just create the action object inline and Flow will validate its shape.

3. You can be sure that reducers are unpacking properties that actually exist from the actions.

In other words, your example could simply be:

// types.js
type Action =
| { type: 'ADD_TODO', text: string }

// TodoList.js
dispatch({ type: 'ADD_TODO', text })

...and Flow would confirm at 'compile time' that it matches the contract dispatch expects.

This approach has scaled up extremely well for me and no longer feels verbose.

Wouldn't you expect more decoupling and decentralization with growing complexity instead of a single engine that does everything? It's not like we are constrained by size or weight of an automobile, we can simply agree on some IPC protocol and let everyone have their own managing daemons completely isolated from the rest of the system, that are started and managed by other managing daemons and so on. In fact, this is the only way to make it reliable, otherwise errors in centralized components will affect everything.
