In particular there is a growing amount of evidence that the generic anticonvulsant drugs are not nearly as effective as the original brand-name version, and I don't believe it is known exactly why. Just that the FDA's definition of what makes two drugs equivalent is not sufficient in all cases.

My younger brother died because of this. He got moved off Keppra to a generic equivalent because insurance refused to pay for the real thing, and his seizures immediately began to increase in frequency. One night he suffered a grand mal and never woke up.

I really wonder if its not in the Protong language, from Szukalski .. if there are any linguists reading this who are familiar with either the Voynich manuscript or Szukalski, perhaps you have some insight on whether this may be the case?

Protong has always fascinated me as a theory and an artefact of a very, very imaginative mind - but as the years go by, and more and more pre-history gets unearthed, I find myself wondering just whether or not Szukalski was onto something. His theories on Zermatism are heinous and very, very repugnant (racism) but the idea that there was a global proto-tongue that was spoken by a civilisation that covered the globe, only to be lost during a cataclysm, is very compelling nevertheless.

Szukalski, Protong:

Speaking as a converted climate skeptic, the person who finally convinced me that this is real and serious overdid it and convinced me that we'll be seeing massive famines, extinctions, and widespread death as biomes shift around worldwide in the next 30 years or so, within our lifetimes.

Since the only way to stop this would be to actually reverse damage already done, requiring worldwide effort never seen in history to perform actions that may be scientifically impossible, I think it's safe to say that we're royally fucked.

So why should I even care about this topic, or the planet, if we're all gonna starve to death within our lifetimes or our childrens'?

I'm going to just live my life for pleasure. Can't stop it now anyway. It's THE EXTINCTION. Time to party I guess.
You seem to be saying that software is one "silo" of literacy, like the jargon one needs to understand film criticism or the politics of the hundred years' war.

I don't think that's fair. Software if anything is a means of modelling and transmission of that model - being able to create and manipulate models is what we try to do with language and written word - but the compiler we are targeting is on other people's heads.

so it's a bit hit and miss - we spend a lot of effort making us all share the same compilers, from schools to legal judgements.

but with software the compiler is simpler and so the models can be more transparent and that Inthinknis the big difference.

No I cannot express my model in english as well as I can in any program- I am not trying to express the whole range of human thought in software - but what we can do is and will be so valuable I can only compare it to the shift in value we got from mass literacy

On that note, does it make a difference that they're collectively refusing work rather than collectively setting prices? Uber and Lyft are still the ones actually setting the price.

In the end I don't think it will matter, Uber and Lyft could probably code around this pretty easily if it started to affect their bottom line. When they see 100+ drivers in the same place go offline within X seconds of each other, it's a pretty clear indication that there's coordinated action taking place. They probably have enough data from drivers' phones to see that they're sitting still waiting to go back online.

I just hope they don't decide to make an example out of these drivers by banning them...
Would you be able to publish said letters somewhere for posterity?
"Yalp". It's "Play" reversed.
That leaving is an option is what the parent comment is saying ("refusal to work at the proposed price"). The drivers in the article are refusing to drive at the non-surge price, and when the price surges, they find the price acceptable and so take the rides.

The part of parent comment that you quoted is just about how the take-it-or-leave-it nature leaves no middle ground (bidding).
Good to know. Recommendation instead?
I really hate the "code worshipers" that pop up in the comments on everything building related.

You give someone advice on how to do something and then a million assholes take it as their opportunity to butt in with some comment that usually start with "well actually". They're all just virtue signaling to each other about how much they know the code. Like, screw you. I told OP how to replace his water heater. If the old didn't fill his house with CO then the new one won't either assuming he does a straight swap. Trying to give practical advice is such a pain in the ass.
Also, good luck finding out what the enteric coating of the particular generic is made of.
Abstract:

Eleven experiments provide evidence that people have a tendency to “shoot the messenger,” deeming innocent bearers of bad news unlikeable. In a preregistered lab experiment, participants rated messengers who delivered bad news from a random drawing as relatively unlikeable (Study 1). A second set of studies points to the specificity of the effect: Study 2A shows that it is unique to the (innocent) messenger, and not mere bystanders. Study 2B shows that it is distinct from merely receiving information with which one disagrees. We suggest that people’s tendency to deem bearers of bad news as unlikeable stems in part from their desire to make sense of chance processes. Consistent with this account, receiving bad news activates the desire to sense-make (Study 3A), and in turn, activating this desire enhances the tendency to dislike bearers of bad news (Study 3B). Next, stemming from the idea that unexpected outcomes heighten the desire to sense-make, Study 4 shows that when bad news is unexpected, messenger dislike is pronounced. Finally, consistent with the notion that people fulfill the desire to sense-make by attributing agency to entities adjacent to chance events, messenger dislike is correlated with the erroneous belief that the messenger had malevolent motives (Studies 5A, 5B, and 5C). Studies 6A and 6B go further, manipulating messenger motives independently from news valence to suggest their causal role in our process account: the tendency to dislike bearers of bad news is mitigated when recipients are made aware of the benevolence of the messenger’s motives.

It could take a while for large effects but there are effects for me already, I stopped visiting this websites when I see the dark patterns, I don't even waste time bypassing the wall.

I am curious if someone can argue for the point that only the medical data from you doctor should be protected and the rest can be sold behind your back.
Yeah, those channels are all on my list. How could I forget NYCCNC? He's taught me so much. I grew up with a pretty hands on education in basics of mechanics and woodworking, but youtube and web forums have made it possible for me to self-teach the CNC, Machining, and Woodworking hobby at pretty much any level I want to engage with it. There's always a video for what you want.
Of course people have different risk appetites, including poor people.

The point isn't so much about "risk" per se, it's about whether or not there's a viable Plan B.

If I'm working two jobs to barely keep a roof over my head and play the lotto and lose, I'm still keeping a roof over my head (by working two jobs). The odds are long, but the cost of failure is low.

If, on the other hand, I have the Best Startup Idea Ever (and all the necessary skills to make it a reality) then I will still be unable to pursue it. Sure, I'm like 80% certain it's going to be a huge success, but in the 20% case I'm fuuuuuuuuucked so taking a swing at it is a nonstarter.
I can’t say I agree with you there. Worst case for nuclear power is highly contaminated local areas (highly unlikely with modern designs), whereas the worst case for climate change is global environmental collapse.
How Do I Rebuild My Life
I have quite a few friends that work at Stratsys you’ll be surprised just how unimpressive their print quality actually is compared to many hobbyist printers.

They are very consistent however especially at their volume and the material quality is also excellent which leads to very good production results.

From the video at least they print the prop blades on an Ultimaker and an old one to boot this is something you can easily do at home.

The body of the UAV looks like it is a skinned composite so it wasn’t fully 3D printed I’m guessing they printed a skeleton and then put composite sheets over it.

This doesn’t look like anything you can’t print at home if you know what you are doing and have either a high end hobby printer or a custom built one.
I wonder though! If you were to give every American today an ultimatum that they had to either (1) never drive a car again or (2) never use the internet again, what percentage would take each side of the deal?
Try "Detroit Muscle", "Truck Tech" and "Extreme Off Road". They show how to customize/restore cars without any drama. Just straightforward exposition.
My understanding is it's common for sites to use a bunch of ad providers, because not all of them will offer up good paying ads on a given page. So you try for the most profitable ad provider, and then another ad provider, and then another one, and then maybe if none of them pan out, you show the Google Ad, which gives you something to fill your ad box.

This worked great when I had an android (I replaced with an iPhone since I wanted easy privacy).

Worked for most things, the maps and location part was most dodgy though. Uber was almost impossible to use and Grindr stopped working. Other than that, things like G/FCM worked perfectly.
All it takes is a single point of failure, one scientist that got the calculations wrong. That's what happened with Meltdown/Spectre vulnerability. An academic paper that many chip manufacturers based their designs on turned out to be flawed, causing a vulnerability across architectures. The nuclear industry isn't any different. Ironically the Meltdown vulnerability could have potentially been used by bad actors to hack and take out a nuclear reactor.
This! OP, please consider thinking over this before you set out on the voyage.

Once the mob gets blood lust, any kind of system or thought goes out the window and everyone will be desperate to put the brakes on.
The cross-platform stuff is interesting... however, in practice almost everything outside Linux containers is only weakly supported. You have to jump through some hoops to use alpha/nightly builds of Docker hand installed in Windows 2019 or later Win10 builds in order to support both Linux and Windows containers on a single system. I think the work with WSL2 may make things better better as a result.

The naming in Windows and Mac, along with the limitations of the Desktop implementation are also frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I really like Docker as an orchestration base, I just don't think the cross-platform support is a value add in practice and in fact detracts as a whole imho.
I’ve been around long enough to remember when people thought that sort of thing was a particular flaw of closed-source, but Ubuntu is failing in a similar way, as this unfixed bug from 2014 (confirmed and with multiple duplicates) demonstrates: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1359836

Call me cynical, but this is what I expect to see if a government had ordered them to allow certain forms of interference with the OS. I don’t know enough to eliminate any other possibility, but it certainly smells fishy.

Definitely. Maybe it's not great that GNOME has a hard dependency on systemd ( I personally don't care), but most people don't appreciate how much things have improved on the desktop with systemd.

Yes, You need to actively remember that you are dealing with a person with severe and possibly badly treated/untreated mental illness, and I say this because of the random bouts of aggressiveness and also blatant use of curse words such as n*gger and etc. Also his very skewed political views and whatnot.

But if you can keep that in mind ("I am dealing with a sick person") and forgive his behavior during those bad events, you'll be able to "savor" his videos in a very technical way. The guy was truly a genius on its own league, a fact that, together with his mental illness, probably hurled him further into loneliness

(I am sure several bright people here on HN can relate on how being different or bright sometimes equals loneliness, specially during early years).

So please, try to watch his videos with these guidelines in mind, you'll surely be able to get some good lessons about delivering a vision, lowlevel compiler work or algorithms into your own craft.

I can't see why solar isn't now the leading candidate. Nuclear is cool and all, but the simplicity of a butt-tonne of solar in a field can't be overlooked. It's not likely to fail catastrophically, maintenance is modular and low-impact. The skills needed are trades not degrees and if we can get the power output/battery/backup balance right, as a society we have clean, reliable energy indefinitely.

I say that knowing we are barreling toward fantastic solar participation in the grid in many countries, and I feel it's just a matter of time before it becomes the dominant source of our energy, especially as battery solutions come into play. It's also not the end of the world to have some backup gas generators that fire up once in a blue moon. Compared to 100% fossil fuels, the occasional gas turbine firing up on a stormy week would be negligible. Alternatively, novel storage methods such as hydro storage could make even backup energy green.

There are probably cities where it wouldn't work right now, but I can't imagine there being many places where it couldn't work at all.
Nailed it. I haven't been able to put it into words, but you absolutely nailed it.

Still just as ridiculous-looking and as useless as the first, and thus a non-starter outside of a very small group of Silicon Valley techies.

It's like Google saw all of the criticism about the device, and decided that the best way to address it was by just beefing up the components instead of the actual flaws with Glass V1. For starters, the display is too small and too low resolution to actually provide enough useful data to affect the workflow of front-line employees. This is a marginally useful tool for managers to check a line-item or two--something they can do with their phones. For anyone actually requiring the use of their hands, Google Glasses still just gets in the way by distorting part of the visual field.

I give the entire Glass project about a year before it dies (again, permanently) when the executive in charge of it either gets the promotion he was aiming for or moves on.
systemd predates Rust by a bit over a year.
Clearly it's signaling that this isn't a general purpose consumer product like the original Glass was positioned. Sounds like people are going to snipe no matter what they call it, or who they sell it to.
Sure, I get that. Metrics for impact here, as in many social/philanthropic endeavors, are hard to come by.

You're right about the leadership issue, it's one that has plagued the climate conversation ever since Al Gore fell off. Yale Climate has a somewhat old article on this [0], where you may find guidance.

Bottom line is you don't have to believe me. If you're looking for a modern scientist-leader, listen to Dr. Katharine Hayhoe's TED talk ("The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it" [1]).

That is not a practical solution at all. What do users find if they enter the "download" page? A link to an external site containing the checksum? Wouldn't an attacker just replace (or remove!) the link?

The reality of today's identity management is TLS and certificates. If your website is https://oya.sh, then obviously any attacker who has access to the web server can direct clients to their malware downloads. No extra servers will help against that.
