Metal has a lot more energy poured into its construction and molding, plastic for its all longevity as trash is at least cheap to make. Without this contrast, hard for readers to analyze payback period.
Just like many physical and non-physical (software) products, very often, literally nobody reviews/verifies/checks them.

In my case, it was the HD receiver. The Comcast guy was surprised I asked for a receipt, and was shocked when I checked the serial number on the modem vs what was on the receipt. They matched, as they should.

Then they still tried to ding me for an unreturned equipment and when I called they said 'it takes 2 - 3 months for it to come off your account'. It eventually did fall off, but was insane for hand delivering it to Comcast/Xfinity.

It seems fasting can potentially help starving cancer. https://gero.usc.edu/cll/ It can help liver problems too, so maybe worth a shot as a last-resort attempt to stay alive.
The earlier the better. Depending on the cancer type early diagnosis of e.g. skin cancer has almost 100% survival( cure) rates. Early diagnosis of lung cancer gives the option of removing the whole section of the lung. Decreases the maximum oxygen supply rate but not enough to affect daily life.

Generally speaking if it's early we can cut it more easily, radiate the specific area instead of many different ones that cause more side effects and we can target it more effectively with drugs before it metastasizes and spirals into too many different types.

Some new immunotherapy and blocker options offer significantly increased survival rates for advanced stages of cancer as well. Nivolumab is an example that offers a 20-30% 5 year survival rate on advanced non small cell lung cancer. This isn't cure but it isn't a slow burn either. The cancer masses seem to just not grow- but not shrink either and the patients just keep chugging along. The interesting part is that the reason why the rate is 20-30% is because that's the percentage of people who respond to it. A combination of nivolumab and another drug that I forget it's name that failed as a solo option seems to increase it's rate to 40%. Keep in mind this is advanced lung cancer, the type that a couple decades ago had a couple months survival rates.

Sarno was a conventional physician.

Nothing about his theories are "newage" or anti-scientific. Indeed, theories around pain must surely be less scientific if they rely on a dualistic notion of the mind and body being seperate entities.

Plenty of people visit mainstream doctors for pain conditions and are told that nothing can be done other than pain medication, which as we're now witnessing, can too often lead to addiction and death.

Whereas people who adopt the Sarno approach can and do achieve complete healing of the emotional and physical aspects of their illness.

If you actually have any expertise to add to the discussion please share it, otherwise, please step aside and allow grown adults to make their own judgements about what works for them.

Sounds more like a bunch of excuses.

Why do I, a framework user, need hooks?

What problem do they solve for me?

If you can't answer that without talking about what react broke first I don't think we we need whatever you're selling.

Added responses there too.

I feel like hooks are a solution to shit code that just needs a refactor.

This happens a lot in frameworks that try to please everyone all the time. You give people of all experience levels the same feature set. It's no wonder at least half your user base goes out back and shoots themselves in the foot.

If you want to fix this problem you need to remove flexibility. Not give them yet another method to hurt themselves.

I'd start by splitting component concerns. MVC might be a good candidate. React.fragment components tend to smell like fat models. Pure functions basically views and connect code/prop/state mapping looks a lot like controllers.

Fwiw this small UI component thing is originally what the MVC pattern was intended for. The big laravel style classes we have today are a misappropriation of the patterns name onto something that it shouldn't have.
Will they recall the product or offer a replacement without the mic? If not, they are not sorry, the breaking glass claim is false and this invasion of privacy was always the intent.

They don't have to be connected to a network in order to work. The will even happily do self-check without network access - something I realized when I wanted to mute a self-check only to find out that I had done some network changes. Had to use a schtick, like in the old days.

Given that these devices are battery powered and meant to last for years on a single charge you can imagine how often they actually connect to the wireless network. And how much traffic they send.

And again, they work perfectly fine without Internet access. Or network access for that matter. I love them, and as someone with an irrational fear of being in a fire they have helped a lot. They're much more sensitive (without being an issue, due to pre-alarm) than the alternatives.

Infosec dramas are getting more tiresome? Are you really saying this on hacker news in an environment where we know governments, corporations, etc are actively trying to spy more and more on everyone?

It's strange how you think the latter options are the pretty obvious explanations. "Google wants to spy on you with hidden mic" seems to be the fairly obvious one to me.

What's strange is the amount of pro-government and pro-google comments on hacker news the past few years. I wonder what the two options for why that is?

Also, you are offering a false dichotomy. This isn't an either-or situation. There could be other reasons. Could be that "google wants to spy on you with a hidden mic AND they planned it for the future". Another option is "The mic was put there by mistake". Another is that "the supplier screwed up". Or another is that the "supplier intentionally put it there".

I know women who feel the same way as the writer you cite. They want to just do their thing without being singled out as different, and don't feel the same need for solidarity that the "women in tech" women do.

That's a valid viewpoint. But I don't see the "echo chamber effect" you're talking about. I think most people seeking out the "Ask a Female Engineer" series are aware of other viewpoints that exist.

> While a simple vector processor might execute one vector element at a time, element operations are independent by definition, and so a processor could theoretically compute all of them simultaneously. The widest data for RISC-V is 64 bits, and today’s vector processors typically execute two, four, or eight 64-bit elements per clock cycle.

So does this argument boil down to an inversion of control which in turn removes unnecessary instructions? It certainly sounds more elegant to my naive ISA understanding.

Can I ask, someone with hands on SIMD experience: does relinquishing control over exactly what and how many "vector" operations occur in a single clock make any real world difference?

> I wonder what the result would look like if this were applied to source code. IMHO a probabilistic algorithm for code completion could turn out interesting.

Neural program synthesis is similar to what you describe, here's a sample paper:

> We consider the task of program synthesis in the presence of a reward function over the output of programs, where the goal is to find programs with maximal rewards. We employ an iterative optimization scheme, where we train an RNN on a dataset of K best programs from a priority queue of the generated programs so far. Then, we synthesize new programs and add them to the priority queue by sampling from the RNN. We benchmark our algorithm, called priority queue training (or PQT), against genetic algorithm and reinforcement learning baselines on a simple but expressive Turing complete programming language called BF. Our experimental results show that our simple PQT algorithm significantly outperforms the baselines. By adding a program length penalty to the reward function, we are able to synthesize short, human readable programs.

Who uses it, and for what? Aside from the HN site.
The Cessna 188 is an agricultural aircraft with a 200 gallon hopper, usually for carrying pesticides. I expect that this had been used as an extra fuel tank. The standard fuel tanks take 37 gallons. My dad was an agricultural pilot in the UK and in the early 1960s they would fly Piper PA25's from the UK to Sudan to spray cotton. That was made possible by using the hopper as a fuel tank.

Okay but you have to keep in mind that there are multiple waves, and what you might use them for. Think of how a sonar works. Sonars must associate and compare the timing of events, just like neurons. They use as many different frequencies for that as possible (used to be 4-8 frequencies but the state of the art is presumably much more)

Let's say I have brainwaves at 0.5Hz, 4Hz, 8Hz and 20Hz wave. And let's assume they are all non-harmonic. If you have an event, and you can quickly inspect the position and phase of all these waves, you now have an extremely accurate and long-period reference for the time the event occurred (think of the individual waves as the numbers on a clock).

So the accuracy would be a decent multiple of the highest frequency, so let's say 20-50ms resolution. And the repeat is the multiple of all the wavelengths, so this would give neurons a trivial way to understand or plan events up to 640 seconds away from the current moment, as well as an easy way to refer to the exact moment a prediction will come true, and how different events relate to eachother in time.

It's brilliant.
