There are health effects of e-cigarettes aren't fully known but there are well known health risks associated with tobacco aside from the ash (which still can be present in mis-tuned vapes but is greatly reduced), see this other comment[1].

The type of developer that chooses Electron isn't going to care about squeezing out the best performance possible. They already made a conscious trade-off to sacrifice performance and memory usage in exchange for productivity. They won't do some hacky things like use Rust instead of nodejs.
> if their vape is mis-tuned and producing ash

That's not a thing. Are you thinking of heated vaporization of tobacco leaf? Because what "vaping" is today is a liquid that's atomized by a heating element, not solid matter. There can't be ash from glycerin and propelyne glycol
Yes, absolutely. Along with anything else anyone wants to buy.

Bitcoin SV is the original fully intact Bitcoin protocol.

People seem to forget that Bitcoin is a "chain of digital signatures" and BTC is not longer that due to SegWit hashes.

Also, for anyone else saying that "BSV" is a "fork of a fork"... then so is actually each of the other networks.

A fork has 2 outputs and both resulting chains are "forks".

The fake Bitcoin (SegWit BTC) kept the ticker symbol and name.

Eventually this will catch up and Bitcoin SV will exterminate the BTC network.

Within 1 to 2 years there will only be "Bitcoin" and it will the BSV chain.

Do your own research and be careful.
I'm probably missing something very basic, but for the life of me I can't see why Ransomware is such a problem.

Yes, it's a pain. Yes it leads to the loss of several hours of time, etc, etc, etc.

But why is it a problem that a good daily backup can't fix effortlessly? What's wrong with a quick disk-wipe and restore from backup? Then it's back to work and there's no need at all to put your hand in your pocket for thousands/millions in ransom, and being 'offline' until the hackers come good on their promises to fix your data?

It depends what you mean by "bulk".

I buy normal packages from a normal supermarket. I try to buy a bit extra when there is a sale, but I only have two refrigerators and a chest freezer. What is "bulk" to most people can be eaten in a week. I might empty the supermarket's supply of sliced cheddar cheese when it goes on sale, grabbing 10 pounds of it, but we'll have that eaten within a week or two. Sometimes I'll grab all the extra-large packages of ground beef or an entire display box full of canned herring. We go through 2 gallons of milk per day. There just isn't any way to really stock up on things without more storage space, and I'd have to find a store that wouldn't run out of things when I go shopping.

Maybe I should see about having Sysco trucks deliver food. :-)
In a type system like Haskell's, a function with that signature has to be unconditionally polymorphic in its variable types, so you can't have a list of exceptions.
You can disable 2FA if you like. However, if you set TWS to restart automatically, you only need to log in once a week which is what I have settled on. Very easy to run on the cloud as there are a bunch of container scripts online though I use a dedicated server.

IB's API doesn't suck, it's very low level. It's asynchronous and works in multiple languages. There are a few good R and Python wrappers that you may want to check out.
It's common trope in the history of revolutions for the lower upper class (or if available, the middle class) to position themselves as the heroes or the voices for the oppressed. Once the mob has displaced their 'betters' they step in to take over, becoming the new upper class.

Technically the oligopoly is overthrown. Practically, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

There is a rental shortage in the city, thus rental prices are going higher. The more rentals that leave the market, theoretically, the higher rent goes.
You'd prefer tobacco smoke to vaping?? That's what the result of this will be.

Let's assume what you say is correct, that they're marketing it for kids. The correct action isn't to ban it, it's to ban the marketing.
> This happened at a far, far slower and more grinding pace than the counterfactual in which I had any competent doctors around me […]

I know the details are scarce, but why do you say that a competent doctor would have been able to diagnose and treat your condition quickly? Issues related to mental health and sleep are exceptionally difficult. Literally everyone I know, including myself, with mental health or sleep issues has gone through that same slow, grinding pace that you describe. Issues range from anxiety disorders, to bipolar disorder, or idiopathic hypersomnia (where “idiopathic” just means “we don’t know why”).

The etiology of these diseases ranges from completely unknown to “a mix of psychological, environmental, and biological factors”. These diseases are frequently not curable, and the best we can do is manage side effects. Going to a doctor as a legal impediment to getting prescription drugs is damn useful because the drugs carry risks of liver damage to chemical dependency and everything between.

Having been through this process myself, and witnessed close friends and family go through it, I can understand why anyone would be frustrated but it’s not clear what the alternative is. As a society we don’t have the medical knowledge to solve these issues quickly and effectively, and we only have so many brilliant minds to go around. In the meantime, therapy and/or prescription drugs make the difference between functioning member of society and being unable to work or even leave the house, at least for several people I know, including myself.

I wouldn’t be so quick to indict an entire profession, especially given your admitted use of anecdotes.

It isn’t city policy to prevent such mergers but it is city policy that you must get a permit for such a merger before actually doing it.
I'm not from US so I was pretty surprised to see that a city would have jurisdiction to do something like that.
It's a bit like removing busstops as a municipality, in favour of car lanes. If you know that busses are used 4x as much by a low socioeconomic class compared to say an upper class, and vice versa for cars, then a law preventing the elimination of (even unprofitable) bus stops is essentially a protection of vulnerable citizens.

Same with housing stock. If you only have gigantic housing units that only the ultra-rich can afford, poorer people get pushed out the city even faster compared to a housing stock with many smaller (and thereby affordable) units. Preventing parties from eradicating this stock again is a protective measure for people who rely on this housing stock to have a home in the city.
Employee fraud can actually be an employee perk. I worked at a grocery supermarket before. No perks or discounts are offered to employees. Sub quality food is actually a great perk.

What's more insane is the downvoting of actual factual information. But then again, I'm not surprised, it seems to be a norm. Too bad the moderators don't have the brains to implement and enforce a "You must post a reason which will be publicly shown before you can downvote, and you cannot delete this reason or edit it after submission" function to the site.
Forgive my stupidity, but I don't understand this statement by Ben (Stratechery):

"In practice, it is much more complicated: while a limited set of “validators” — aka miners — share a history of transactions in (individual) blocks that are chained together (i.e. a blockchain), what Libra actually exposes is the current state of the ledger. In practice this means that adding new transactions can be much quicker and more efficient — more akin to adding a line to a spreadsheet than rebuilding the entire spreadsheet from scratch."

How is this different than Bitcoin, and why does it require a different level of trust?

You are still trusting the validators (miners) either way, correct? And how is it more efficient?
There are many reasons why they might not want gun manufacturers using them and one of them being that it doesn't fit their marketing agenda. The image they are painting is that it's a nice,inclusive, supporting and charitable company where the sky is is the limit for anyone.And suddenly its like: oh that nice and soft helps to sell guns? And that's what they keep communicating to the world.I understand it's BS but they seem to be willing to drop some account to make sure the bs becomes more believable.
As for self defense part-no,I'm not an expert on the choices in the US but I'm pretty sure there's plenty.
DoD may be right, however what are the circumstances? If I'm in highly populates area,the use of AR rifle can result in lots of collateral damage if not handled well. It is also very impractical to carry, especially if your job is not in military or security. Does AR rifle stops a potential threat well? I have no doubts of it, however it's practicality remains a huge question mark...
I didn't say I don't like guns,I just think it just doesn't make sense to have such rifles for self defense. I appreciate the US may not be the safest place on the planet,but just realistically what kind of potential attackers one would expect to stop with it?
My wife and I tried Imperfect Produce for a few months, and we were very disappointed with it. For one, an alarmingly large portion of our produce came expired (not just bruised or misshaped or anything like that, but outright expired, even moldy in some instances). And if that wasn't enough, we consistently had mistakes in our orders—things we ordered wouldn't arrive at all, with no notice, and we would sometimes get produce we didn't order. Their customer service issued us a refund + credit in every instance, which makes me think this is a regular occurence, but after the about the 5th mistake we decided we had had enough.

And even if everything had gone swimmingly for us, their selection is incredibly inconsistent, and their prices on some items were barely better than those at our local New Seasons (which isn't known for low prices). Plus, the delivery time is a pretty large window that ends late into the evening, so you can't rely on the produce for your dinner that day.

I love the idea, but they have a lot of issues they need to sort out first. I personally was put off by it and would never try it again or recommend it to anyone.
That price seems a little high. I was selling these from a custom shop in 1994 and a pretty well equipped 486 and then Pentium was about $2,000 to $2,500. You could spend a bit more and get better audio and video cards, but the base models at the time ran Doom and Quake pretty well. Computers seem like they have stayed in that range all my life. Back then I had a $2k desktop and today I have a $2k MacBook. There were always cheaper options for budget conscious buyers and the sky has always been the limit if you want to go crazy.

Is this an american thing? I am living in Germany and I know plenty of people that don't care about high school reunions at all.

I don't know your situation, but you might be idealizing.
Advantage play in gambling situations where the odds are not clearly defined.

For instance, at my son's school they regularly have raffles where you can put a ticket in a bag to enter a raffle for one of various items. You can see how many tickets are in the bag and know what the odds of winning are.

I always walk away from that with at least one if not two prizes by picking things that are desirable (to me) that have few tickets in them.

I used to think my sister-in-law was impervious to the laws of probability because she plays video slots at the casino. Then she noticed there was a promotion where you could put losing scratch tickets into a pot at the casino and she saw how many entries there were, realized it was a winning bet, and she and my mother in law bought $200 of scratch tickets, of which they won about $100.

They won a trip to Las Vegas which was worth upwards of $1200 so it was a good deal.

I win at the racetrack by using the "odds to win" to find mispriced place and show bets. Basically you sometimes find that the payout for a horse to show is more than 1/3 of the payout to win but you have three chances to win, so sometimes it is a "can't lose" situation.
Not sure why this comment is gray, it’s informative. Sounds like a similar situation to Notch who worked on Minecraft.
Not just margin trading as you also need cash available if you want to open a new position quickly since a new transfer/deposit takes a while to clear. This is not making a claim on whether trying to time the market is a good idea.
I got better. I also struggled with severe depressive tendencies, panic attacks, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I got better from those as well.

All these things were linked, yet separate. You cannot tell me the chronic fatigue was just my depression, as I can tell a difference, but neither was my depression just from not being able to be active for more than about 2-3 hours each day. Mental health issues pre-dated chronic fatigue, but chronic fatigue intensified them.

I did many treatments, though I chose to never have a PICC line installed for months of IV antibiotics - that seemed like chemotherapy to me then and now, and not without its own risks. Everything from antibiotic regimens to homeopathy to humming with crystals in my hands. Sometimes I was raw vegan, other times I smoked heavily, drank heavily, because nothing worked anyway, why not have fun, etc.

Too long for one comment here, but find me privately if you are struggling with chronic immune stuff.

I'm unsure what eventually worked, and what was time. A lot of it, cliche as it is, was the very strong love of a very supportive partner that saw I could still live, even if I thought I couldn't.

I would say the following things all had major effects, though I don't use any currently - many of them provide symptomatic relief for some things, I'm not sure why things shifted underneath it all.

#1) regular injections of methyl-B12 even with normal cyano-b12 levels

#2) low dose Abilify and modafinil and (sparingly) stimulants

#4) regular yoga practice that provided low-impact exercise, mindfulness amidst the fear that my life was over, and a way back into an awareness of my body that didn't only have me think it was the enemy that was killing me, and of a self that transcended whatever I thought I was

#5) treatment for orthostatic hypotension including low dose steroids, salt pills, compression stockings, etc

#6) psychotherapy

#7) A few times rounds of abx when I was at my worst seemed to help a lot

#8) supplemental testosterone for 2 years when mine was low-normal (is normal-normal now without supplements)

#9) eliminating all processed anything from my diet for about 4 years, all gluten for about 5, all refined sugars for about 5 (can eat anything now without ill-effect) and drinking home made bone broth regularly

(I also know some people will read this and hone in on a few things and be like oh! he just needed some psych drugs, therapy, and exercise! Those can def all be helpful things, but I assure you it was a strange and complicated journey through the mindbody, I still have no sample size other than me, and the methyl-B12 was by far the most helpful even though that largely falls under the pseudo-science perpetuated by people searching for autism cures...)
That's even more foolish than banning straws. There are so many other worse waste producing things like single use takeout containers and Keurig pods.
It does not explicitly require warnings, but Art. 83 (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/) requires that the authority, when deciding whether to impose a fine, takes into account a number of things. It would be hard to argue for an instant fine if the things listed in the article were favorable in a specific case.

That can’t really be the reason because SF has approved numerous such mergers and expansion of gigantic single-family structures and they steadfastly forbid subdivision of buildings no matter how large into duplexes in the vast majority of the city. The city’s actions indicate that detached single-family structures are the strongly preferred type.
So I dug up the actual ordinance itself¹ and it turns out to not be a "ban all e-cigarettes" ordinance. It is in fact "ban e-cigarettes that have not received FDA premarket approval". Which is to say, if the FDA actually does their job and approves the damn things, then they can be sold in SF again.

What tipped you off that this was happening?
I meant Haskell's do-notation sugar - it only works for monads (or applicatives, assuming ApplicativeDo and absence of dependencies on intermediate results). OCaml's new "binding operators" let you define your own variations of `let` and `and`, which resemble do-notation and therefore have the same cognitive convenience. Then, you can define `let` for functors, etc. You can basically have `let` sugar for any operation that takes a function as the second argument.
It all depends on who the arbitrator is. Many arbitration clauses are there because the business has relationships with arbitration organizations. If the arbitrator is an impartial third party, it will be much less costly than going to court.OTOH, $3500 is a small claims court amount and most small claims courts will honor any 'fine print' in the contract.

Picaridin is generally about as effective as DEET as a mosquito and tick repellant, but without the nasty odor and greasy feeling on the skin.

DEET has a tendency to damage synthetic clothing such as spandex and rayon, and at higher concentrations can actually melt plastic and paint. Even lower concentrations can mess up your sunglasses.
The city I live in (in the US) collects sales tax from online retailers, so I am inclined to think that the government of SF has some way to inflict pain on the online retailers that ignore this ban.

>1. the retirement funds you should be putting your money in won't require brokerage fees.

Ah, okay so there's another choice of waiting for retirement funds and pensions to get looted by bank and insurance bailouts in the next financial crisis.

> 2. don't leave your money with banks.

This is kind of missing the point -- I'm saying that by the time the finance world is done "allocating resources", there's not enough left over for the working middle class to put in the bank in the first place. This reflects in statistics that more than half of Americans have less than $1000 in the bank at all.

> 3b. VTI, SPY, VOO, etc is all the infrastructure you need.

Leaving aside the fact that all ETFs have fees and expenses, one of the primary criticism of these offerings is that they enhance losses for naive owners. ETFs now consist of a sizeable chunk of U.S. invested assets, and every sharp market drawdown that happens runs the risk of inducing more selling. But in the same way that nobody looked at the garbage packaged inside CDOs before 2008, no naive investor is going to be able to watch the Net Asset Value of the underlying securities of their ETF investments, and so people will continue liquidating at prices that will lead to deep underperformance for smaller players.

But let's just keep inflating the myth that ETFs are the savior of the middle class, because God forbid that institutional investors actually be required to have any skin in the game for themselves. Keep inflating it right up until the point where Bregman's bubble gets proven right and taxpayers get left holding the bag for the Great Recession 2.0.
