Sort of, their are treatments that increase survival rates significantly. Supportive hospital care might not seem as useful as a wonder pill, but an IV drip can make a huge difference.
It's a cool project and I admire the attempt, however

1) It's been done before, it's not original

2) The cost is outrageous (I see you use more expensive materials, but it's not $1400 more expensive material)

3) Likely copyright infringement
Ask HN: How to deal with internet addiction?
I find it hard to keep off from mindlessly browsing the web because I'm so dependent on it as a web developer.

It's become second nature to Ctrl+T and 'fa' for facebook, 'news' for HackerNews, 'red' for reddit, etc. that I barely notice I'm doing it.

I also regularly stay up another hour instead of going to sleep, "to catch up" on things that really don't matter or I can view tomorrow.

I produce a some what similar Eurorack module. Ours is electrically more complicated, but mechanically much simpler.

The final assembly is the most labor intensive part of our process. When we get an order from one of our retailers for 10+ products, it takes us a full day just to build/test/pack, because of this.

By selling these as "Ikea style" I promise they're able to massively reduce the cost for consumers by outsourcing their assembly.

The top one should always be on top is "keep up with standard JS", it's rapidly approaching what could be considered a sane standard library.

Once the specification for web components is finished, standard JavaScript plus Babel (and polyfills) would be all that's needed to build 95% of web apps.
Having been intimitately involved in politics at the city level for some years, I think it's less of a "the kind of people who are in power" issue and more just, people naturally disagree and get defensive. I think those who are in power are often under sustained assault, in many cases by those who have a less than full picture of the decisions made, and that makes them far _more_ defensive. Any one who has people yelling at them that frequently - and often unreasonably - is naturally going to start writing off the yellers. Including the ones who have a damned good point.

It's not an excuse, and in fact, it's a good argument for term limits and regularly cycling those in power. But I don't think the kind of people who are in power are naturally accountability averse. At least, not on the local level. I think it's more just an effect of how we do government and human nature. So it could, potentially, be solved by a change in systems and culture.

psql’s \copy command utilizes the server’s COPY functionality, which absolutely can read and write files on the server or run commands there [1].

COPY with a file name instructs the PostgreSQL server to directly read from or
write to a file. The file must be accessible by the PostgreSQL user (the user
ID the server runs as) and the name must be specified from the viewpoint of the
server.

Clients using COPY, including psql’s \copy, often pass STDIN or STDOUT as the “file”, which allows data to be transmitted over the wire rather from the server’s filesystem.

Star Realms is a 15-20 minute deck building game where you build from a shared pool of cards, the standard library. It has a lot of the appeal of games like Magic the Gathering but is much simpler to teach and is a 1-time purchase (though I hear that there are new expansions, which I haven't played.)

Monopoly is an old favorite, I've played it for years. The game is very engaging especially once you've memorized the board, the best properties, the costs, etc. because either you get to play with a massive information advantage or if the other players are equally familiar then you have a really interesting game.

The lobby for nuclear power on HN always surprises me. In Germany these points are pretty undisputed - the question is not an OR, of course one needs to leave coal as well [1]. Which is why there is all the investment in renewables [2]. Nuclear power, however, has the potential for devastation of a whole region for many thousands of years (ask people in Pripyat), and these costs for future generations need to be internalized as well. We have no room to spare in Europe. If you internalize the costs of disasters of nuclear power they don‘t make sense anyway.

What do you mean by "fake" and "custom"? Nearly no gear is "custom" in the sense that it's custom made for a specific person (although some small manufacturers probably would do that, if you're willing to pay for it), and at least in electronic music gear it is not a common claim for it to be (and it's e.g. not mentioned in the article here, so I'm not sure why you are arguing against it being so?)

Similarly, what's "fake"? The product is what it says on the tin, is it not? I think you overestimate the "can be build cheaply" aspect for many small manufacturers too, given small volumes, need to pay for R&D, mechanical components/work, ...

> One of the joys of programming is that, unlike maths,

This does happen in maths all the time. Pretty much all new results and new techniques also introduce new notation and language, which is then rationalized in further works by the community.

What tends to not change all that much currently is notation used in undergrad textbooks. However, going back more than a few decades books on for instance calculus look very different and use very different language (e.g. infinitesimals, topology, focus on power series etc.), similarly for linear algebra or complex analysis.

>I don't think it is possible to separate language from tools or community. Those things are always together.

I don't think so, you can always just use the language in your own style and cherry-pick any tools that align with it.

Like e.g. the Play framework ignored the main standards and idioms of Java development in its day.

Or how every game studio just uses its own version of C++ and forbids tons of features.

The customer has already paid for a dedicated bandwidth. If the ISP has used an outdated model that doesn't account for current usage, that's their problem. That's how business risk and models work.

They can, and should, respond by modifying their plans accordingly. Once the consumer's contract is up, renew them with a more modern usage model. Until then, you eat the cost for not doing your only job.

The theory that "we didn't build in a margin of error and therefore someone else is responsible" is dangerous to society.

ISPs SHOULD see losses. Their investors aren't entitled to guaranteed profits.
Is that different than the following?:

big and small are just relative descriptions. Something can be both big and small, consider the moon (big to us, small to the sun), but it is hard to describe somethings size while not thinking/comparing/considering about it.

Light and dark can be considered emotions to. You can harbor light and dark thoughts at the same time on the same subject. Light and dark are still opposites, like big and small. I don't find the argument compelling yet that love and hate are not opposites.

If indifference is the opposite of love, it is also the opposite of hate. That would make love and hate the same or close. I don't buy it. I would consider negative and positive to be opposite, and zero to be niether. Zero is apathy/indifference.
Performance reasons.
I learned outside of school to read and write. Even how to work as a group from active social activities outside of school. Group activities in school didn't promote real strengths because the activities could have been done alone. Yet, I succeeded as a person who could work as a group by the strengths learned outside of school in social activities.

I'm a software developer who was self taught online. All social skills with others at work were as stated developed from social experiences outside school. Forums or even reddit helped me progress in writing. I think school isn't necessary if motivated and the field of interest doesn't require legal obligations to meet by some degree or specialist program. The education system is arguably similar to any other capitalist entity and desiring society to feel it's needed or required. It's a real shame because it's a debt machine in a poor economy where the previous generation didn't need a degree and could get a home in their name young.
Startup PR Cycle: Fundraising Isn’t Real News Anymore
I am conflicted on who is correct regarding a healthy diet. Need help
I've been a follower of whole food plant based diet rich in plants, vegetables and beans thanks partly to [Nutrition Facts](https://nutritionfacts.org) and Dr. Michael Greger's extensive articles/videos backed by what I thought was research. I knew he had vegan bias but after coming in contact with these two pieces below:

- [Your Brain on Plants: Micronutrients and Mental Health](http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/micronutrients-mental-health/)

- [EAT-Lancet's Plant-based Planet: 10 Things You Need to Know](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/diagnosis-diet/201901/eat-lancets-plant-based-planet-10-things-you-need-know)

Specifically the first article. It argues strongly that there can't be a healthy diet without consuming some kind of animal food.

I am not a nutritionist and I care deeply about animals and the ethics of consuming animal products. But having said that I am confused and don't get who is actually correct. Is whole food plant based diet actually damaging to my body and I am losing out on very important micro and macro nutrients by not eating animal food?

I am considering becoming pescetarian if that is indeed the case.

Thank you for any comments on the matter.
There is also self-selection: early adopters will always be, on average, more knowledgeable than mainstream users, which usually correlates with politeness and civility.
I read something long ago which said something like 15 iq points were attributable to thinking you were smart vs not. I’m inclined to believe that most people are quite smart and capable and that it’s confidence, effort, and training that makes some produce more than others. The brain is vastly complex, and the subconscious processing power to perform text, speech and image processing is colossal.

Could you give an example? This particular teacher was a dictator and didn't allow for any autonomy and acted like the class material was much more difficult than it actually was.

Note: we were master students and other classes that didn't do dictatorial handholding were much better. I had studied 2 bachelors and 0.5 masters up to this point.

Why do I then need to come to a lecture on how to learn JavaScript or otherwise I'd fail the class for not coming? I was more knowledgeable than what the guest speaker was teaching! (variables, loops, if-statements, functions)

Teachers that say: it's on you to come to the lecture and if you fail the class because you never show up that's on you, are much more my style.

Dunno... Incorrect temperature kills a lot of captive corals, even at small variations. Is a diverse group and some are harder to kill than other. On the other hand, Cnidarians taste their food and reject often small stones and sand grains. Probably many types of plastic particles (if not all) would be just taken by a small peeble and ignorated. Cnidarians loose interest quickly when you touch its tentacles with an inert matherial.

I'd guess that the design is the most expensive part of building these products. Their marketing for this product is arguably better than Apple. The design for the actual product is unparalleled. The electronics and software development, years spent on prototyping iterations, and overall refinement is expensive in terms of highly skilled labor.

Much more likely is resistance to UV without changes in transmission route, so it survives longer in droplets.
However there is a (tiny) chance of "recombination" with another airborne RNA virus that is "compatible", where two viruses share genetic material while infecting the same cell
and the resulting hybrid is viable "airborne Ebola",
however it would be sharing traits of both viruses.

> If one has great work ethics, the connection to the teacher doesn't really matter because one would learn regardless.

That doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not to question it, since I realize how different people can be about such basic matters.

What I'd like to bring here is: could it be that people differ in "types" of work along the same lines as they do politically? Not correlated, but semantically related.

I wonder if there's a divide between the type of student who could dutifully learn something because it's the thing they're supposed to do, and the type of student who won't learn much if they aren't interested, but will quickly become proficient, if not master, the subject if they have the passion for it? The classic divide between dutiful order and creative chaos, in other words.

I seem to return 1 out of 8 Amazon items, even eating the occasional cost of poor quality items, because I needed -something-. They seem more and more to make me print and mail stuff back, first making ups pickup no longer the default, and now removing the option altogether.

I get lots of seemingly purposely mislabled products in the automotive section now. I think i get maybe 50% success rate ordering car parts. Lots of fakes. NGK, DENSO, and HONDA products seem to be prolific with counterfits. Had good luck with GM and Toyota parts so far, but I expect that to change, or be a fluke. Their automotive idea may see profit, bit I think they underestimated the extra complexity and returns inherent. Brick and mortar stores do much better at soaking up cost of returned parts I suspect.
You're assuming that I'm implying capitalism is "bad" and that no other form of society could produce the same effect. I don't believe either of those things. I've actually made many pro-capitalism comments on HN before. But it's sort of thoughtless to conclude it has to be one or the other. A complex system can have both good and bad effects.

It does, the more a virus replicates the more opportunities there are for a mutation to occur. The probability of specifically developing an airborne vector is pretty low though - there are significant differences between the physical properties required for fluid vs airborne transmission. A lot of specific mutations would have to accumulate, and there is no guarantee an airborne variety would see the same level of success and persistence as the original.
