If we're allowed to list products in the prototype stage, the Pyra Handheld deserves a mention. Of course it's been in prototype stage for a lot longer than Cosmo, and its raw specs look a wee bit dated for a premium device (although still quite generous for a mobile device), but at the current point in time it's the closest mainline-Linux mobile device to production, in a race with PinePhone and Librem 5 (both of which are very exciting, but compared to Pyra have inferior specs and no keyboard).

Neuropatic Pain and Microdose MDMA
A few days ago i was discussing various chemical experiences with a friend who also has nerve damage (his is in his knee, mine is an upper right Ulnar Plexopathy caused by a botched operation, i believe it was recently revealed DaVinci had the same issue) eventually the conversation came around to the effects of various chemicals on our pain issues like the fact that even strong opiates dont seem to help but we both noted that we never remember having noticed the "burning" pain while on MDMA

in some cases SSRI/SNRI chemicals are used to treat neuropathic pain so it made some sense t me that serotonin would play a role in the pain which gave me an idea, could microdosing MDMA be an effective treatment for this pain? and luckily i had some on hand.

as such i decided to test this theory out starting with a 30mg dose and moving up to 50mg where i found best effect with minimal unwanted effects taken first thing in the morning in exchange for my usual 60mg codeine, 1000mg paracetamol and 400mg pregabalin

to my surprise it worked, better than i could have actually imagined, not only did it pretty much nullify the pain but also seemed to slightly restore some of the function in my hand, not by massive amount but certainly enough to notice (you would likely need to redose in the day as the effect seems to wain after about 6-8 hours)

of course one persons report hardly qualifies as a clinical study and its entirely possible it could have been the placebo effect but id argue this may be something that warrants further study especially for those on the likes of tramadol (which i stopped as it turned me into a zombie)

has anyone else had similar experiences or have there actually been any studies on this? it seems like it may actually be a promising solution if my experience is anything to go by

This has been my experience and it might be sane. The 90% went on project/requirements discovery. Remember that you are doing this through several people, so it's multi-dimensional and once you leave 2/3 dimensions things start to get really complex.
Nobody wants "high temperature" superconductors. They want superconductors at roughly standard temperature and pressure. This is only an advance by the extremely artificial metric of considering temperature only. Ceramic superconductors work at liquid nitrogen temperatures and standard pressure, which is much more accessible.

I'm not raging at ttsda. It is an advance. Of sorts. But not nearly as much as the headline suggests.
Yes but protecting their IP is futile, therefore DRM primarily targets legitimate users. The idea is to have complete control over the user experience. You can only watch movies on approved device X in approved app Y. The media companies can then use DRM to put hardware manufacturers and software developers under pressure and order them to do whatever they want.

Indeed. ANTIC did beam racing based on display lists and could switch modes and palettes mid-screen (tricks the Amigas inherited). The sound was modest, but nothing in the 8-bit space (and on the PC clone side until EGA) comes close in the visual side. And the SIO could daisy chain intelligent devices running their own tiny little OSs just like we do with USB-C today, which is really cool for 1979.

The 64 had the just-right choices for its 16 colors, which provided some amazing visuals when combined, and had the most beloved sound chip of its time.

You have a point, but I think there is more to it.

I have failed twice the last year to be offered a DS position after going through all the interviews, references and HR personality tests. I would say that ~50% of the issue was me (0 not nailing every question) and the other 50% was the employer not understanding how to screen for the right people (= them lacking answers to questions they didn't ask).

I think there are two distinct skills: the skills you need for the job, and the skills you need to get the job. Maybe these guides cater to latter.

And with a population of 126.8 million people that means that 2% of the population are foreign.
Contracting is different from consulting. As far as I understand when you are consulting you are a permanent employee of a consulting company that assigns you to various projects. When you are contracting you work for a temporary period of time exclusively for a client until your contract ends or you find better opportunities.
The first case is paid double of the permanent to the consulting company, but the employee of the consulting company is lucky if he gets as much as a normal permanent. A contractor on the other hand gets paid much more than a permanent, especially counting the less taxes that he needs to pay. There is a 3rd option when you actually own the consulting company, but then it’s up to you to find clients and if needed additional resources to assign to the various projects, but in that case you may be paid even more than contracting if you have no down time between projects.

Not Elop really. The Nokia board had already decided to sell to MSFT and brought in Elop to do it. If the N9 hadn't been delayed by years, things could have gone very differently.

Buildbox 3.0 Finally Released
I understand this perspective but I feel like it's unnecessarily negative. I certainly agree with you that living in another country would be a unique and mind-expanding experience, but not everyone has this opportunity (or takes it when it is possible). When I was unencumbered by a family 20 years ago, traveling simply wasn't a priority for me. My focus was on getting by and trying to get a foothold in the tech industry.

Now that I've got two kids and a high-pressure job, tourism is how I expose myself and my kids to other cultures and experiences. It is possible to do it right by keeping an open mind and not being "those people". I'll relate one anecdote.

A couple of years ago we went to Panama and stayed in Panama City for a week before heading to the coast. While in the city we read about Amazon jungle tours. Not wanting to end up on a bus with a bunch of people, one night I headed out to a nearby square and started chatting up people with the limited but decent Spanish I've managed to learn over the past few years. I met a friendly restauranteur, explained that we wanted to head up to the jungle, and asked if he knew anyone who could take us.

Next morning we all crammed into a pickup truck driven by an incredibly vivacious and chatty Panamanian woman (the restauranteur's cousin) and roared off to the jungle. The trip included memorable moments such as the part where a long, remote bridge was shut down to car traffic, forcing us to leave the truck by the side of the road and hike across in brutal heat. On arriving at the other side, seeing how exhausted my kids were, she told us to wait under a tree and took off. Twenty minutes later she rolled up in a minivan, which she had borrowed from a fellow Panamanian (a total stranger) who had agreed to lend it to us, free of charge, for the afternoon. She explained that she had a guardian angel that helped her arrange such things.

We were tourists, 100%. But my whole family learned a lot from the experience.

Ask HN: Being part of a US based company as a foreigner
Hi,

I started an US based company together with a former colleague. He is an US citizen while i'm an European citizen. We have several contracts, with our main focus on US government work. I lived in the US for about 5 years but moved back to Europe, with no plans on moving back to the US for now. We are struggling with a few questions/things that probably the people at HN experienced as well and resolved due to the link with the "start-up" world.

Currently the US based company is registered completely under the name of the other partner within the business. We are trying to figure out a good structure where the company will still be 50% US owned but were we both get an even "share".
We need to keep the company 50% US owned to target certain US Government bids. Any ideas on possible solutions?

Certain bids also demand that persons working on the contract have a US VISA and/or US working permit. I, as an European citizen, would like to assist as well, so we have looked into either an E or L VISA, but both seems to have some issues and we haven't found a proper company that could assist/advise us with this. Is there anyway that I could assist on these type of projects as well?

I would be also interested to learn about companies within Massachusetts that could help us with both these questions. We contacted a few, but they didn't have the expertise we were looking for.

Any advise on this would be really appreciate!

Thank you!

How Climate Change May Affect the Plants in Your Yard
Trademarks generally, in my admittedly limited experience (UK, USA, EU), are "first to use the mark for trade".

It's a slim but important distinction, but it's not like copyright works. You don't get to register someone else's trademark because you wrote it down somewhere and kept it in the safe for 20y.

Though with unregistered marks you may not be able to stop someone else from using a mark they adopted independently after your first use. Trademarks are territorial, and classification based (registered marks are registered for a particular class of business; not relevant in the OP, but worth mentioning).

This is bullshit. What destroys the punk rock scene somewhere is the fact that punk was a function of a particular place and time, and every generation throws its own heroes up the pop charts.

What is destroying the ability of kids to live in London and Paris is a lot more complex, but has a lot more to do with plutocracy and the rise of moneyed anti democratic forces than tourism.

And as every aging punk rocker knows, the Ramones were from Queens.

Agreed with megameter, but disagree with tonne: the kilogram is the base unit that physical constants etc. are measured against (e.g. Newton's constant is measured in Newton meter squareds per kilogram squared). It can be less confusing to talk about microkilograms than grams when doing physics.

Assuming Hong Kong is indeed tightening its grip on the people and accepting more influence from Beijing, I wonder if that was a smart move.

> They are within earths gravitational pull

Every satellite going around earth is "within earth's gravitational pull". The starlink satellites are so low that they are inside the rarefied upper layers of the atmosphere, meaning they have low but constant drag pulling on them. When they stop thrusting, they will eventually fall out of the sky.
Reference is among one the things I really want to be included in C. Does it break anything if it's introduced to the standard?

On the other hand, I still prefer C to C++ mainly due to the compile time (an incremental compile in a typical large C project I deal with takes a second or so, while C++ takes 3-4 seconds). C++ doesn't have to be slow, as long as you use the needed features. But idiomatic C++ means you'd be using STL, class inheritance, virtuals, operator overloading, templates and constexpr and stuff, all of which contribute to longer compile times.

Premature infants have >10 IQ points drop, and as hospitals reduce their threshold of viability to 24 or 23 weeks, these infants often have really significant cognitive defects. Here in NZ around 1/3 of these infants will fail the end of year exams at age 15, vs 10% of the non-premature population. Fortunately this isn't "negative eugenics" it isn't a change in genes which cause this.
