Average caffeine pill is 100mg (roughly on par with a cup of tea or coffee). Caff can be fatal for adults at about 10g of consumption (Heckman 2010) - about 100 caffeine pills.

Caffeine toxicity can happen much earlier, but it's mostly concerning in combination with other substances. Caff on its own ... it's really, really hard to get to a dangerous dose inadvertently.

If the substance is pure, and the dosage is correctly labeled. Neither of which is especially common for nutritional supplements.

The key to this article is the line, "catechin doses at or above 800mg may pose health concerns." Pop over to amazon and look at one of the top results for green tea extract: https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Green-Tea-Extract-Capsules/dp/B00... A single pill is 160mg.
Generally, if the website breaks it's "scripts" from somewhere, or rarely xhr. When it's frames, it looks like a chunk of the site is missing. If media won't load it is media. And basically never allow anything from a dark red square.

I'd check umatrix's site and there are a number of presets to make major sites work you can use. After that, if a site doesn't work fiddle with allowing things from places. Save when you're content. It's pretty easy to get the hang of.
Jeepers - as though the Valley is the centre of the universe?

If latency turns out to be a serious issue, then remote control robots would be installed where latency is reliable, or where home owners can get low latency connections.

Most likely latency will improve for the valley over the next few years.

Certainly VoiP is reliable in many other countries. We use a cheap provider at work (virtually no issues), and I used it at home in 2011 and it was rock solid. And NZ is definitely on the edge of the main networks!

Edits:

PS: second anecdote: I'm on an island in the Mediterranean at the moment, and VoiP seems very usable.

PPS: what do the gamers in your neighborhood do to resolve ping times? They usually are extremely interested in diagnosing the underlying causes of latency and finding solutions (although you obviously need to find a more engineer type gamer than a script kiddie soothsayer type)
Yeah, well, it's not as if they couldn't see the total and utter consolidation of cloud and hosting infra coming a mile away. The question was never "if", just "when". Should not be a shock to the local players.
Thank you for posting this article. It gave me pause for thought.

I have been taking a green tea supplement occasionally. I saw it in a vitamin store, and bought it because of the supposed benefits of antioxidants. I figured - I have a stressful job, I live in a polluted city and do drink alcohol - I probably need the antioxidants. Plus, something that's made out of green tea sounds safe, not likely do any harm, right?

Well. I am disposing of the supplement, obviously. More to the point, though, I have to revisit my whole thinking process around supplements. I take a bunch of them, and it's purely on the basis of "I read a study somewhere or other that this is supposed to be good for you" - and not because I have a specific health concern that I need to address.

This approach suddenly does not seem so sane anymore, and I need to take a step back and rethink what I am doing here.

It's amazing how easy it is to gradually lose touch with your common sense, simply because you read the "right" subreddits (in this particular case, /r/nootropics), and start to subscribe to the hype.

Hey HN!

The what:
I thought of an idea to build a site that can list cities around the world with the risk factor that city may have from things such as flooding, hurricanes, wildfires etc.

The why:
Natural disasters happening all around the world right now are increasing each year.

The safety of family and loved ones is always a priority when looking for your next home. It would be great if there was a reference to assess risks before you consider where to live.

If you are interested to help gather the data for such a site, please contribute and share this document. If not or if you think this idea sucks, no worries. If you have feedback, suggestions or criticism, let me have it!

Me:
I'm on a mission to learn to code while building things that genuinely help people. See my profile for more info :)

p.s feel free to share this to Reddit if you find a good subreddit for it, I am yet to find one.
It's certainly interesting in theory. But in practice, how do you distinguish between a bookshop, library, office and desk when all of those things can be referred to by "maktab"?

And does inferring / generating words this way actually work? For example, can I say "makra" (مقرأ) for "Library", a place where you read? Based on the verb "yakra" (read).
The Markdown vs. WYSIWYG discussion goes along the same lines as the vim vs. Word discussion. You can discuss it, but real users in the target audiences of the products simply don't care about the alternative. To each his own.

Gilbert syndrome doesn't affect any liver function tests aside from unconjugated bilirubin - a value that reflects a backup of bilirubin processing, and not a liver-damaging process.
No. This is a different thing. The problem is when people haven't coded their CSS correctly and assume default background is white and then set a non default foreground of black or something. Those sites will still break for dark themes even with this API.

In fact, if people actually understood the first C in CSS, this thing wouldn't even be necessary.
This is a very impressive work. I am wondering why it was compared against PyTorch (just on the CPU) and not against Tensorflow (on CPU and TPU) or do I miss something?

As RawTruthHurts stated: "Call me crazy, but I expect an icon to behave as an icon.."

I too am one of those people that draw lines in the sand, and when these lines are crossed I make it my business to kick them out (adblockers, hosts file, VPN, firewall). I do this to keep my headspace intact, or with the minimum noise.

Market (aka profit) drives things, and it is a greedy monster with infinite appetite. There are many willing to "innovate" (flash ads were considered as innovation once)(so was medicine).

Since it is a cat-mouse/bigger mousetrap game, regulation will always be 10 steps behind, meanwhile we need to maintain our sanity and find ways to keep these distractions at bay.

My time is my time, I don't want to see a movie in an icon. Glad to know the technology is there (perhaps focus on curing cancer instead???), and not everything needs to be redefined, so that <insert-ad-company-name> can display more ads.
For any accidents I can think of where this modification would cause an accident, the driver would have to sit back and let the autopilot do the driving: that's irresponsible in any car. Is there something else, like severing a drive-by-wire connection to the brakes, that I'm missing?
The difference is in methods. Not on the concepts.

As an example I aim for system where employment is at will but that is balanced by strong social security and unemployment benefits. It kinda gives best of both worlds. When you are not screwed when you're fired you don't need insanely strong protections.

I refuse to accept that as a worker I have to support decisions that I personally think as stupid just due to "solidarity". I vote based on my own conscience just like everyone else ought to vote according to theirs.

If Finland was like Sweden where unions don't have legislative power I'd by all means belong into one. And considering that so many more in Sweden belong in unions vs in Finland I am not alone in my thoughts.

The prefers-contrast media query is even better for accessibility [1]. It allows checking if the OS is in high contrast mode and adjust the colors appropriately.

I think the idea is to replace the Microsoft's proprietary -ms-high-contrast media query [2]. It means that prefers-contrast will work in Mac and Windows. Unfortunately, Safari Technology Preview 68 doesn't seem to implement it.

We just switched to all VoIP desk phones at work, over our NBN connections. Same at home. Works flawlessly.

Both providers, Telstra at work, and Internode at home, give VoIP traffic the highest priority QoS, as far as I’m aware. It’s been a while since I worked Internode.

The firewall logs in my iPhone suggest otherwise. They are cached. But if you are online it still reaches out (as a Bbeacon)(not for hope though).
So they're saying "Privacy First: Guaranteed". How is it guaranteed though? Is there anything we can do to verify that claim or do we just have to believe them?

I think they mean the core is clean, lean and mean. The reality is that most people will use themes, customisations of themes and a stack of plugins so what you end up with on disk is none of the above.

Most of us never have to touch the core though.
The obsession with p values is the most absurd thing.

You write as if there are "positive findings" and "negative findings". This isn't true in orthodox statistics. There are only "negative findings" (the null hypothesis is rejected) and "null findings" (nothing is rejected, nothing is confirmed). Only the negative findings get published.

What doesn't exist is "positive findings". Nothing is ever confirmed: not the null (it's assumed to be true) and not the alternative (it's not even tested).

Now who wants to print a journal in which 95 out of 100 articles say "we learned nothing" and the other 5 can't be reproduced? Much better to print a journal in which every articles claims a results, even if none of them can be reproduced.
the late David MacKay's "sustainable energy, without hot air" book about sustainable energy production versus energy consumption will help you roughly estimate your energy consumption. it's not the same thing as a carbon footprint, but it'll be more or less proportional.

https://www.withouthotair.com/c18/page_103.shtml

worth reading the book if you have the time and are interested. it's free online.

From your list the one item that jumps out at me is 16 * 2.5 hour flights per year. i'd guestimate that accounts for 25% or more of your annual energy consumption, and 25% or more of your greenhouse gas emissions. probably roughly similar energy consumption footprint to eating 1 kg of meat / day.

personally i think the main thing people with relatively* high-energy affluent lifestyles can do regarding reducing their personal carbon footprint is to have fewer children than they want to. it's not really a done thing to talk about this, maybe it will be in a decade or two.

* relative in the global sense
But it is harming someone else in a way, they only want you to read it if you pay for it, there will still be bandwidth costs to cover for people who bypass the paywall, some might argue that in some paywalls, the content is already sent to your browser anyway but that's a whole different story.

It's the same argument for piracy, "if I make a copy, I'm not taking away the original, so I'm not stealing", which is just a lie to tell ourselves to feel a bit better at the end of the day.

Why is this his wife's car and not his?

He has his own fancier Tesla, you would think that they would swap so she has the better car. The yellow colour is just a wrap, he could have had things cosmetically correct for her by wrapping his P95(D). Plus she would not have been off the road waiting for the homebrew modifications to happen.

I am okay with people modifying their cars, in fact I like to go to the race tracks where people go at actually ludicrous speeds in their modified cars, repairing them between races. But it is a different thing modifying a car for someone else in an experimental way. On a track where the driver is a 'racing driver' is one thing but, on the highway when the driver is a 'civilian', well, that is something else.

A small rattle means something to the guy who built it and knows what that rattle can be from, another 'civilian' driver won't necessarily know the problem space.

I know Firefox uses Disconnect.me's filter lists, which do have a company backing them.

I trust gorhill to make the right decisions when it comes to uBlock Origin and the filter lists it uses, based on his previous track record, his stance on Adblock's "acceptable ads" and his refusal to take donations from anyone.

I don't necessarily trust the individual list maintainers[1], but I do trust that gorhill will quickly purge any filter lists that try to put in shady changes.

[1] I do trust the maintainer of the DNK list. He's a former colleague of mine, and I know how strictly principled he is in regards to ads and tracking.

Maybe the more expensive models? The normal ones that cost 10-15k NOK might work for a normal lawn, but more challenging lawns might need a model with bigger battery, gps, more sensors, better traction etc. the biggest husqvarnas top model can cover 5000 square meters, has sensors to avoid obstacles and can handle 45 degree incline. Should work for most lawns I guess.

Weeds shouldn’t be a problem with any model as the mower will keep it down by mowing the lawn daily.

I don't get this attitude. Do you expect or want companies NOT to obey law? Or have criminals serve you DNS, which try to evade law?

They should be mainly regulated to ensure purity standards, prevent mislabeling, and to allow quick action when a health danger is discovered (and not a just a 1-in-1,000,000 case). The supplement industry should be forced to provide independent lab testing results for each batch they sell and to list all possible known interactions and dangers on the product pages and together with the physical products, and to provide the government with total sales numbers. I'm strongly against banning supplements by default.

General problems are the lack of research, especially on humans, low-powered and short-term studies only, and not publishing null results. It would be nice if all supplements had safety studies on humans but with a median cost of a phase 3 trial at $19 million, it would be equivalent to a total ban, unless the government pays. Maybe some kind of an alternative system could be created where users report by themselves and all companies have to encourage users to use this system...

Background: Had a walkthrough demo and code dive at our PHP group a few months ago. One of the guys in our coworking space runs a WP user group. I've used WP for some projects for years. I like it for small to medium content, but have hated doing large "dev" projects on it (ecommerce, etc)

Gutenberg thoughts: It's seemed to me that much of WP success in the last several years has been driven by the ecosystem of page/theme builders, which have been built around serving various verticals. They've solved a core problem of not having easy baked-in structured data management, and Gutenberg looks like it's a first step in standardizing that. It seems the tools community will need to adapt to that, which they might, but it also seems like it might be taking away some of their value-add, and there may not be enough room higher-up the chain to add value.

I don't know if there's a huge reason for some of the theme/page services to rush to support the upgraded 5.x series; if it makes it easier to switch to a competitor... will they have much incentive?

This is certainly a shift in the WP world, but it feels like it's at a point where they could lose a chunk of users to competitors. For a lot of other users, though... where would they go? As with many upgrades, if the pain is too much for not much value, that's a time when people would consider other options more seriously.

Very interesting read, for context small sword is a dueling gentleman weapon. Not very good at protecting yourself in battlefield. Problem is that it is very hard to parry a bayonet or a heavy sword with it, too light and since it lack an edge it is also hard to snipe the hands of the opponent with bayonet with a quick cut.

I wonder if Washington ever actually came to blows early in his career. What sword he used on that occasion and what his thoughts of the effectiveness were.

For an officer sword was weapon of last resort, however if you were gona have one might as well be useful weapon. When someone wants to spear you with a bayonet saber seems like a much better choice.
I'd assume pesticides play a big role in that case. It is a known problem and most countries exporting green tea leaves aren't know for effective regulation of food safety.
The emphasis is on supplements, not green tea itself.

Lots of chinese are habitually drinking very strong green tea all day long from one these fancy termos-like transparent cups (an ages old cultural phenomena, I suppose) and there is no side-effects despite ordinary caffeine overdose.

Same is true with coffee. Societies with a coffee-culture, like Turkey or Italy have huge numbers of addicts but uncorrelated number of liver injuries.
>> This class of low-cost depth sensors emerged just as Deep Learning boosted Artificial Intelligence by accelerating performance of hyper-parametric function approximators leading to surprising advances in image classification, speech recognition, and language translation.

So I haven't really looked at machine translation benchmarks for a while, but the paper linked by the article itself (as an example of the "surprising advances" in language translation) reports results below the state of the art (from 2014) (see [1] below).

The system noted as the state of the art, [2], is a phrase-based statistical machine translation system, which basically boils down to n-grams, with a few tricks up their sleeves such as a 5-gram operation sequence model, hierarchical lexicalised reordering, an unsupervised transliteration model (for translations between Hindi and Urdu) etc etc.

This is interesting to me because I hear this claim, that deep learning has advanced machine translation significantly, very often- but when I look for results, I can't really find anything that supports that. It's obvious that machine translation research currently involves a lot of deep learning, but whether that is actually working, or it's just what people are trying at the moment to see if it works, I can't tell.

It certainly doesn't look -to me at least- like we've seen anything like the big leap on ImageNET and CIFAR results, when it comes to machine translation. The paper linked by the article is a good example: their baseline is a 33.30 BLEU score and their system raises that to 34.81, an improvement of 1.51, a less than 5% increase (on the previous result). And that's only on English-to-French (and still behind the top results).

I really don't see the "surprising advancements" here.
