Only one of the reports in your search results purports to show gynecomastia in vivo. That's the report I mentioned in my earlier comment, and it's possibly the poorest quality "study" that I see cited with any regularity. Sample size of three, no controls, no blinding, no analysis of the products used. It's functionally equivalent to an old wive's tale.

The authors try to bolster their credibility by including some in-vitro evidence of estrogenic activity, which is extra-credit bullshit because there are plenty of common (and natural) substances that can disrupt hormones in a test tube, but show no such ability in actual humans. This is cheap research that the authors sensationalized with three completely uncontrolled and unblinded anecdotes. It blows my mind that this thing got published.

Notice how many other studies in your list cite that the Henley report. Also notice how many more recent studies list the same authors, namely Henley and Korach. Given the poor quality of their work and the overall implausibility of the proposed effect in vivo, I'd recommend taking their reports with a large amount of salt, at least until actual in-vivo effects are demonstrated in a higher quality study.
This would be a huge leap forward. I can't blame researchers for tailoring their research to help their own careers but this should help prevent that. A null finding might not be great for the researcher but it's a win for science.
I loved timescaledb but single node restriction made us go with Kafka streams. It was just too much hassle to maintain mapping between data and which node it's located at.

Really looking forward to multi node version. Good luck.
Or just "font-color" to match font-face and font-family. etc. That still gets me almost every time.
Thanks, but I don't get your comment "the number is too high"
This is why we have impeachment and removal. "High crimes and misdemeanors" doesn't require breaking an actual criminal statute. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_crimes_and_misdemeanors and my reply to tomohawk.
I loved this quote about the music: I had wanted to sample the sound of an industrial piston in a factory, but was unable to get it, so instead I just sampled it off a YMO song. (laughs) That happened numerous times, actually.

I'm assuming YMO is referring to the Japanese electronica outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Wait, have I mischaracterized your argument in any way? Because I'm honestly not trying to do that, I'm just trying to follow your position to its logical conclusion.

If somebody says about me, "She's been really busy this week" and I overhear them and say "Excuse me, I prefer masculine pronouns", somebody following your line of argument can respond by saying "Sorry, but a pronoun is a syntactic construction, you don't have the right to choose which one refers to you."

What about that doesn't follow from your position here?
You can’t blame YC. Startups have become another high visibility “sport” that attracts people who are both incapable and unstable. None of those people would have known or applied back in 2005.
Color is not a property of font so I'd stick with "text-color"
I feel like kids are just contagious by default and your typical kid at a clinic has a cold just like the kid in school with a cold.

Ha, they're using the Lojack rootkit backdoor to install drivers. That's nasty.
So, I just glanced through this¹ Wikipedia entry and quickly added up all the numbers in the yearly lists of major data breaches and came up with this number:

929 million users / customers affected by major data breaches since 2005.

There's probably at least some / a whole lot of overlap in some, but still...

Thusly, it'd be unusual if any particular individual hasn't had at least some of their identity go astray.

That section is “Allow access when locked...” with a list of things like Siri or returning missed calls. Having USB accessories disabled from access when locked is the feature.
Realistically, people who could afford an electric car are more likely to take a plane and rent a car when traveling, unless they travel all the time as part of their job, then they’d be using ridesharing exclusively.

But people tend to be dominated by edge cases instead of giving up a small amount of mobility.
On the whole I agree, but at least on the surface I could still smile and operate both arms properly. The finger-tingling was "ambidextrous" [if that makes sense], as was the vision issue ["ambiocular"? I make up words and phrases as convenient sometimes].

Negative findings don't prove that the idea was a mistake- it's just failure to find sufficient evidence. You might have just been unlucky.
Isn't it great to have a world full of tolerance? :)
So they say that in a couple years in a time the market is moving fast. Given Tesla experience with these chargers, its quite difficult to handle the whole cycle of regulatory approval, build and operation.

So far I have heard a lot of announcements about great cars and great charging networks from these companies but nothing they have actually done gives me any confidence.

People also said that the other car makers will switch the electric and start building electric cars in mass easily and quickly. So far however most of these projects have seen delays and other problems.

I would also say that all the 'lower' level chargers will benefit Tesla equally to everybody else, so its no intensive to buy a non-Tesla.
Ask HN: Is Google is broken for discovery?
My own thoughts based on a recent series of queries below.

TLDR I think it is most definitely.

Recently I was fortunate enough to be able to afford buying a home.

An empty home needs a lot of furniture to fill it. I've graduated from Ikea furniture I suppose, or more correctly I don't think I'd be able to make a successful pitch to the wife that this is the correct place to shop for furniture.

So, off I go to Google to try and see what the landscape is for furniture. The usual suspects all show up. Cranes and Bottles, Possibly Barn, Mercys, Blossomdales. And that was it. I scroll down, different variants of pages for these, ads... again more duplicate pages of brands I already know, more ads, so on and so forth. The "next page" is replaced by a "see more", and when I tap it just more of the same.

I literally couldn't find anything organic other than major brands, who not coincidentally were likely paying for adwords as well.

This isn't what I want to see in a search engine, I doubt it is for anyone else. I could have just typed in those domains, I know them all already.

I feel like at this point, it's time for a back to square one search results engine. Monopolies eventually kill off all brand goodwill and it looks like we've hit the tipping point.

I would love to see some leaked screenshots of even just the main page after login.
The way data is stored is very frustrating. Storing what should be json as html so it could try to be backwards compatible.

I made a library[1] to make blocks so I’ve been using Gutenberg a few months. Feels like it could be really really nice if a few changes were made. I commend the WP community for making it though.

Big issues are with trying to make more than just a few blocks, the editor really doesn’t enforce and code splitting. So unless you’re using a library like the one I created, having let’s say, 100 blocks is going to mean an insane amount of JS on page load. Also, good luck trying to debug the stack traces you’ll get in browser. I could go on but the point is: Gutenberg is a nice idea but real projects will find issues.

The screenshot is actually showing a section called "Allow Access When Locked". In order to have your content secured, you'd want USB Accessory access turned off when the phone is locked. The screenshot is correct. Their description of the feature has it backwards.
Good tools for creating infographics
Really? The email server in my opinion was a flagrant breach of rules. I really think she should have been charged. And junior doing this would have been. And this view elites are above the law is so wrong.

The phone is possibly more damaging to security, but it's not illegal as far as I read. So stupid and arrogant. But not illegal.
Technology always starts out exclusive and then is then broadens out. Tesla network gives them a huge advantage because now they are in control over how this process is gone happen.
> This is the same media company that sold the Iraq war lies.

That's another way of saying that they truthfully and reliably reported the anonymous leaks coming from the White House, which justifies the opposite conclusion you seem to be making.
>people who could afford an electric car are more likely to take a plane and rent a car when traveling, unless they travel all the time as part of their job, then they’d be using ridesharing exclusively.

What is this based on? I know several people with electric cars and none of us take planes and rent cars on trips unless they're to another country. I drive to California and Austin all the time and the Tesla is the first car that I don't have to stay the night charging for.
Yeah. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. See the rules: 23 Do not nurse a grudge. 34 Be Not Proud. 71 Make peace with your adversary before the sun sets. And so forth.
I'm in a similar situation: I used to use a 2016 macbook pro with touchbar, but couldn't tolerate more with it, so I switched to a 13' macbook air(while I can still buy this device) earlier this year. I couldn't be more happier.

One thing I disagree with the author, is that I don't think this is downgrade, I consider this is an upgrade, cuz there's more in a computer than just the spec.

Tho I'm not sure what I will use in 3 years, there might not be trustworthy macbook air anymore then.
I disagree - I've been driving EVs exclusively (Ford Focus Electric followed by Tesla MS) since 2013 in So Cal and can attest to how poor user experience is with 3rd party charge networks. First of all, there are 4+ distinct networks each requiring separate account/payment setup and RFIDs. They are often broken, fully used, overpriced or cumbersome to start. Most are L2 with 20-30A - charging at <20 MPH. Fast chargers are sparse - and this is in California where the most EVs are sold in the US. When I leave the state, charge networks become almost nonexistent in many areas.

To the contrary, user experience at Tesla superchargers is great. There are enough of them, evenly distributed, that I never have range anxiety, they work, they are usually not over crowded (although getting busier), they are free or at cost, they are high powered, usually located near nice amenities, and they are simple - pull in, plug in and wait 15-45 minutes. I don't see anything on the horizon from other manufacturers that will even remotely approximate what Tesla offers today with supercharging. Partnership/expansion of for-profit networks will never get there.
(1) it should have been designed around what people actually try to do: three column layouts with headers and footers, aligning content in the middle, pinstriping (this one isn’t as popular anymore), drop shadows, etc. Instead, all of these things required either hacky workarounds, or stepping outside of CSS entirely. The first decade of CSS was “look at all these things you can do that you don’t want to, and you can use them so long as you don’t try to make the kind of sites your clients actually ask for!" So fucking stupid, it still makes me angry years later.
But the journeys you need a quick charger for are.

For normal usage you charge at home.

Agreed - this should help "level the playing field" so scientists can at least be somewhat more evaluated on the quality of their hypotheses and scientific protocols as opposed to the (largely governed by luck) outcome of their studies.
>what if I am registered in Washington but do most of my driving in Idaho?

Also it's likely to be evened out by someone who's registered in Idaho, but is driving in Washington. And in any case, the taxes can be adjusted to account for a fraction of cases like that.

This is also more fair than fuel taxes because low-efficiency vehicles aren't necessarily doing more road damage.
Oil is fungible. We're on oil as long as Saudi Arabia is contributing oil to the global marketplace. Take their oil off the marketplace, watch the price skyrocket.
Personally, I find AWS's pricing complicated, and there are so many different services that it's confusing. I think it's mostly a UX issue, but it's really overwhelming.

DO, Lonnie Linode, and Vultr are very simple, so that's what I use. Perhaps if I start needing more from my hosting I'll look at AWS, but it's just not worth my time to figure it out for the scale of projects I'm doing.
I did not know that their motto is:

> ‘Clean, Lean, and Mean’

And even after double-checking, I can only assume it's somewhat outdated, or outright irony. Because while I consider WP among the software that has done the most good over the last few decades, those three words really don't come to mind when trying to describe it.

Of course at the time it came out it's immediate comparisons where these $7-digit behemoths being sold to Fortune 500 companies, and it probably did not rely on plugins as much as it does now. So I can see how clean & mean made sense at the time.
This makes me furious. Our president cares so little about his job and protecting American interests that not only did open himself up to this possibility but it actually happened.
It's these sorts of things that infuriate me, and I'm not even center-left.
>I can't blame researchers for tailoring their research to help their own careers

What about a lowly restaurant-owner who skimps on food quality or sanitary costs to "help their career?" A psychopath or "can't blame them?"

Erroneous research can also have human costs.

White collar and blue collar workers should both be scrutinized equally.

I'm not sure where this acceptance of moral depravity among more-privileged peoples comes from, but I really don't like it.
Agree. A lot of the numbers seem suspicious as well, mostly in the expense around salaries. Time will tell if these are sustainable.
Why not just tap the people who he calls on a regular basis? Seems like an even easier job.

(Timescale founder) As someone points out elsewhere, the difference between TimescaleDB and PipelineDB is more akin to raw data and materialized aggregates (Timescale) vs. streaming summary data (Pipeline).

So we are big fans of what the PipelineDB team are building and see value in using both.

(And if you are interested in how TimescaleDB's hypertable/chunk architecture plus other optimizations (e.g. at the query planner level) lead to both higher inserts and faster queries compared to Postgres: https://blog.timescale.com/timescaledb-vs-6a696248104e)

Wow! I got the emotional talk-down tone... Looks like I spoke blasphemy against your money!

Your reply is exactly the same type of reply one would expect from someone who is defending themselves by coming up with some quotes from the bible. The points that you gave me completely ignore my point. It's like I've said that Santa doesn't exist, but you've given me reasons for why Santa only delivers presents to kids only if they were good. All you have presented are the common "memes" that are used to prop up the shared delusion of national currencies.

I can understand you - people don't like to have have their beliefs challenged, and will defend themselves vigorously if confronted.

The irony here is that I also participate in this delusion daily, I too use national currencies, including the USD quite often. Although I never pay taxes in USD, certainly never receive any welfare from the US, don't care that it's "backed by guns" or an IOU, or whatever. I use them simply because there are people all around globe who believe in them.
We use both, gRPC for backend services and a GraphQL server that aggregates and communicates with those services for the frontend. Because the backend is all described with .proto files its trivial to autogenerate most of the GraphQL server that serves the fronted. Tends to be the best of both worlds, IMO.
This is a huge deal for me personally, and probably the main and only reason why I haven't used Digital Ocean for real yet. Let's see how the pricing goes, since having many small projects each one with very little requirements normally means paying a lot of $.

When people say there are no consequences for the company yadda yadda yadda what they neglect to also mention is that, typically, there are no consequences for those affected either.

If the one billion odd people affected by major data breaches since 2005¹ all experienced some significant difficulty as a result, we could probably expect a louder outcry and subsequent changes in behaviour by those we entrust(?) our personal identifying information to.

I've been online since well before 2005, and the worst I've experience is one debit card being cancelled due to a failed fraudulent transaction attempt ~10 years ago, and ~2 months ago a successful fraudulent transaction of AU$13.36 which I noticed immediately (thanks mobile banking app notifications), which resulted in the me calling and cancelling the card and the charge being reversed.

Of course, we're all paying more in fees due to insurance against such events, but that appears to be an inconvenience that most people simply don't rate.

My point -- communicated poorly -- is the average salaries h1b startup employees are being paid is quite low. There's lots of room for them to grow.

Further, why shouldn't we allocate visas to the most valuable, ie highest paying, uses?

Agreed, I think most people miss the point that most protobuf implementations support JSON and/or binary across the wire. We flip an accept flag for the frontend and we get well structured JSON.
Passport number + date of birth and name is enough for a social engineering attack against a lot of banks (hopefully they didn't like my credit card BIN to make it extra helpful to identify my bank).

There weren't anonymous leaks regarding the propaganda campaign the NYT had for the Iraq war.

here's my pet peeves:

1. CSS should not have adopted a hyphenated naming scheme for properties, since it makes it difficult to access css properties from javascript or other languages.

2. CSS should never have been used for layout, and nobody should have suggested it should be. CSS defines properties on individual elements, while layout fundamentally needs to define relationships between elements, which requires really icky hacks and implied relationships in a language like CSS, e.g. the definition of percentage units (percentage of what?) being mostly arbitrary and context sensitive, So you are forced to learn what all those context rules are to get the desired outcome.

What does height: 80% mean? 80% of the parent element's width? 80% of the parent element's height? 80% of the window width? who knows?

3. The naming of properties and values is entirely inconsistent. Sometimes "none" works. sometimes it doesn't. What even is going on with "white-space"?

4. Who allowed Microsoft to add "pointer-events" properties to css? This is a tragedy.

5. em based font sizing seems like a really good idea until you use it in some system that will arbitrarily nest component elements until the innermost reply to a comments thread is either microscopic or 3 characters per line.

That's not the fault of most of those communities. Many of them have tried to set up their own municipal wifi/ISPs and many (most?) have been stopped cold by legislation and back room deals at the local and state levels by the telco and cable companies.

I think you could automate a wide variety of dishes by making a robot that dumps ingredients from hoppers into a food processor then dumps the chopped food into a skillet and stirs them.
