Vaping represents a significant increase in nicotine use for young people. If it was limited to 40+ year old lifetime smokers, then that would be different.
FYI, a 10mL vial of U-100 insulin is 1000 units. I don’t think you can buy less than a 3mL vial (300 units) which is a pen cartridge and I think even those are only sold as 5-packs.

I’ve never heard of an insurance company trying to reduce an insulin dose. They definitely pushed back on the number of test strips they would cover (e.g. 5 strips/day vs 7/day) where a prior auth was needed to get coverage at the higher quantity.
Co2 iirc is a physical extraction, like bubble hash, while this is concerning solvent hash, a different product.

I got it from campus cops for driving a university owned obvious project vehicle over a speed table on said university campus at exactly the speed limit (in order to ensure that our equipment didn't go out of adjustment if you bottomed out hard).

I changed my behavior for the remainder of my time there to ensure that was the most expensive ticket they'd ever write.

Null is the absence of something.

Typically given as sentinel value; i.e. a union with the set of possible non-null values.

Null references were called by their creator "the worst mistake in computer science".

Those that share this belief prefer the more composable Option/Maybe pattern rather then a sentinel value.

Theoretically you could just electrolyze water on site using power from existing grid. It wouldn't be that much more difficult infrastructure wise than building charging facilities for EV. However according to the diagram included on this article[1] the pipeline from AC power to usable thrust is 3x more efficient for battery vehicles currently.

What constitutes "true independence"?

The OP means that if you earn your own money, then you do not depend on your spouse for income. This provides you with more freedom than you would otherwise have. Both because you can divorce and still have income, and because your spouse can no long argue "This money is earned entirely by me, so I have complete discretion over how it will be spent".
This is what happens when you make the drugs that have been safe for years illegal. People who make marijuana illegal don't care about children - they would rather have a few die as a moralistic lesson to others than allow anyone to get high. Because they're assholes. Full stop.
You could actually. Which is why I think it's really the wrong point to argue about. Almost everything we do is in some way involved with the market and has market effects.
There is no way the average lifespan is only 100-200 miles. That would make the cost per mile 2-3 dollars which is completely unrealistic.

No, your decision not to consume from the market is itself an action on the market. There's nothing forced about it. It's just a natural way of how things work, and it's an important aspect to consider when writing policy or regulation.

> No, I think this is a fine metaphor. If an engineer can understand a problem, identify a solution, and then implement, document, deploy, and support it in production for project after project, it’s completely legit to say they’re good engineers, and are not necessarily improving in any relevant way.

We agree. If someone has maxed out all the relevant dimensions then there's no room for improvement. The problem is that there's a difference between that and average. The other problem is that there's continual room for being even better at identifying solutions.

> How many projects amount to rewriting something that works in some new language or framework because an engineer wants to pad their resume or just learn something new?

Unneeded re-writes and getting better are orthogonal concepts. That you're confusing them here underlines the logical fallacy that you're making. If there's legitimate room for improvement (and there generally is in bus driving and in software engineering), and if that improvement makes you substantially better at your job, then it's worth it. In neither of those areas is the "average" employee completely topped off in where they can grow.
If my friends and family are any measure, a household with a nice sharp knife is not in the majority. The number of squished flat rolls is astounding. Grating your own cheese is also just as easy, but most people cant be arsed to do that either.

I did not. I've addressed it at least 2 times now. If you choose to ignore those responses that invalidate your point that is of your own doing.

Nope. I have already shown this assertion of yours to be false as there is no requirement for the runtime to be written in C.

Issuing commands to a program (which is what is happening) does not make those commands a programming language.

For starters that would revive the 3rd party ad server ecosystem, since currently the only way to access full AdX demand is to run DFP. It would put AdX on the same footing as others, meaning buying through Google wouldn't give buyers a price advantage. It would allow for privacy-centric ad networks on vetted, premium publishers to emerge. Maybe even header bidding could die, meaning front-end performance would increase 10X on many publisher sites (many header bidding stacks make 300-800 ajax calls in the first few seconds of page load!) which would eliminate the need for AMP. It would mean Google would have less influence over which publishers get to monetize their content. I could go on...
Thanks for pointing that out. Thats what I get for not actually reading the proposal.
And the tragedy of early adoption! Microsoft looks antiquated for using UTF-16 today, but it was actually pretty cutting edge when it happened. They adopted a lot of tech pretty early too, like XML. All in all, pretty fascinating.

Windows 10 recently added the ability to use UTF-8 for the “ANSI” legacy codepage, which is awesome! I accomplished similar prior using API hooking but a Microsoft solution can simply do a much better job across the board. Now the only reason to set the encoding to anything else is to avoid mojibake when using non-English software. (Dear Japanese software developers: please consider using wide win32 APIs :( )

The first link in my comment is a report on precisely that - workplace health and safety for theatrical performers and technicians who spend every day in close proximity to high-volume fog machines.

>The current consensus is that vaping is harmful.

There are undoubtedly some harms associated with vaping (nicotine is associated with a somewhat elevated risk of cardiovascular disease), but the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that it is vastly safer than smoking, which is the most pertinent point of comparison.

I haven't thoroughly reviewed the references in your linked article, but one issue leaps out at first glance. The article states "E-cigarettes also contain acrolein, a herbicide primarily used to kill weeds", which is a substantial misrepresentation of the facts. Acrolein is used in some niche applications as an aquatic herbicide, but it is a naturally-occuring byproduct of the thermal decomposition of glycerol and is found in most fried foods. The acrolein content of e-cigarette vapour is far lower than cigarette smoke, and can be reduced to negligible levels through the use of a temperature-controlled vaping device.

This is what I do and I love it. In order to avoid the AMP experience I had to stop using google web search, and it turned out that I can't tell the difference in results anyway.

Stop using Google, everyone! It's not necessary and you'll be tracked far less. Plus you're helping to save what is left of the web from one of the most odious attacks on it ever.

> Why do people think AMP is faster? Pre-caching by Google.

This is a huge part of it. It is not unusual for an HTML page to load faster than an AMP version when loaded directly by a browser ( render blocking on the 3rd party amp JS bits can result in it taking longer to start rendering ).

The part that often allows AMP to win is that Google caches it to their own CDN and Chrome will pre-fetch it from there. What is interesting about that is that none of that has anything directly to do with format/spec of AMP pages.

Conspiracy theory: most of the problems AMP solves were already solved by Google Reader, but it was hard to sell ads on that... so they killed it 2/3 years before introducing AMP to beg the solution and swoop in with AMP.

I've had this thought for a while too and I've wondered if I was the only one. It seems almost obvious but I've never heard it articulated in public like this.

For it to work you would need the procedure to be cheap and you would also have to radically reform and clean up the adoption process.

The effect on politics would be dramatic. I know a whole ton of people who vote straight R on this issue alone. Killing the abortion issue would allow all kinds of realignment. For that reason you'd probably see hard opposition from the right to any attempt to actually end abortion. They need it as a "get out the vote" issue.
There are situations where I've considered using an e-scooter because existing infrastructure is insufficient or just plain unreliable. If a bus or two or three are cancelled and I'm really frustrated, even a car seems like a great solution, regardless of environmental cost. E-scooters seem like a decent alternative (depending on how reliable and environmentally friendly they actually are). I'd even consider buying my own, but it seems Germany is lagging behind in allowing e-scooters in public (the only two models that are purchasable that are also street legal cost 2000+ Euros).
The way that it seems to work judging by blood tests I've gotten over my life is that the more I'm around something, the more allergic I become, all of the things around me, the trees, the animals, the food I eat, etc. I've become extremely allergic to. If I go somewhere with completely new plant life I should be ok in theory, I have done this once and my allergens were pretty much gone, but I dont have reason to assume that they wouldn't come back. I've got some fucky gene stuff going on in general, and there are other reasons why the cold would be nice in general.. and i can guarantee that i have an extensive morning/night drug regimen, and have tried about every allergy med i could get my hands on, they can take the edge off, but it will never go away.

This is just a corollary of the fact that "p or not p" is false (for any value of p).
A topic I usually miss from the discussion: gynecology and obstetrics practices. Here in Germany they are the most shitty medical professions. Research seems to have been replaced with magical thinking and arguments like "you just have to trust you body", "we shouldn't make childbirth too easy for women", "caesarean section is against nature". In no other hospital department homeopathy "medication" is part of the standard treatment. A lot of birth departments are closing, the remaining ones often overcrowded with too few staff, the only mandatory staff during birth seem to be midwifes (with a chronic tendency to esoteric bullshittery), the examinations often more of a joke, like using using ultrasound for weight estimates of the unborn baby known as to imprecise for this purpose. We don't even have a central evaluation for injuries babys and mothers receive during birth (to kick the most dysfunctional hospitals a bit in the ass).
As a result after giving birth, a lot of women suffer of traumas for being mistreatet by overworked staff or problems like incontinence, chronic panic and organ prolapse sometimes to a degree they can't work anymore. Often in silence out of shame, when they speak up, getting comments like "you wanted children you have to live with the results". For one of the most severe injuries avulsions of the musculus levator ani up to now there isn't even a working treatment. I guess, having a life with a job they like and a lot of activities some women just shy away from the risk or don't want to repeat an awful experience.

I'm looking forward to what the Chinese are doing at the moment: "The Born in Guangzhou Cohort Study" is one of biggest cohort studies ever done and hopefully it brings a bit more insight into pregnancy and birth and things others call "that's just nature".
I'm a liberal but I still have to point out that "the country's depopulated and backwards interior" (your own words) provides the food, agricultural products, and mineral plus other natural resources that cities depend on. Until urban areas manage to figure out how to conjure their food and industrial input out of thin air, rural areas are as important (and arguably more important) than cities.

It's also worth noting that a large portion of the armed forces come from rural areas. Need I point out the potential problem with a military that doesn't hold the same values as the civilian populace it's supposed to protect and obey? Bear in mind that history does have a nasty habit of repeating itself.
Is it about cost?

It’s often easier to get that pay raise by hopping companies. You’re then replaced with a new hire who is probably getting more than you did. And needs a few months to get up to speed.

Treating your proven employees well to retain them would cost less.

> Is their research on people who have ONLY vaped?

It might be given the issue is apparently with young people. One of the controversial aspects of vaping is it has been sometimes marketed to teens, potentially creating a new generation of nicotine addicts — maybe a dark side to a tool otherwise seen as being beneficial as a safer alternative for smokers.
Show HN: A social media with a mechanism enabling users to make money
That's the game of these companies. Scale first and figure out all of the problems. Of course, there will be waste as that gets sorted out but there is economic incentive to reduce waste (as long as it is a cost).

More broadly, this is how capitalism works. Capital is allocated relatively efficiently but there is a lot of failure and waste inherent in the competitive process.
SecondSystemEffect
Well, we’re talking about an optimization retrofitted onto a String class which guaranteed O(1) indexing by 16-bit code units. Given that constraint, only a fixed-width encoding can work, so UTF-8 is out. In lieu of that, you may as well pick an encoding that uses the full 8 bits, hence the choice of Latin-1 instead of ASCII.

But indexing by code units only really made sense when Unicode was limited to 16-bit codepoints. Back then, “code unit” and “codepoint” were the same thing, so every code unit had some semantic meaning of its own, rather than just being an artifact of the encoding. Thus, programmers could keep treating strings as “arrays of characters” like they were used to, except that “character” now meant a 16-bit integer instead of an 8-bit one. In truth, Unicode code points were never a perfect representation of what a human might think of as a “character”, due to the existence of combining characters like accent marks, but you could still arbitrarily chop them up and combine them and get something roughly sensible. Overall, they seemed like a reasonable compromise that preserved the notion of “array of characters” to as great an extent as possible.

But these days, a UTF-16 “code unit” can be half of a surrogate pair: an artifact of the encoding with no semantic meaning of its own, the exact thing we were trying to avoid. It now has the downsides of a variable-width encoding like UTF-8, without the space efficiency or the backwards compatibility. So if Java’s String were being designed from scratch – or if, hypothetically, Unicode had never been intended to be limited to 16-bit codepoints – there’s no way it would provide indexing by 16-bit code units.

It might instead opt to provide O(1) access to 32-bit Unicode codepoints. This is what Python 3 does, and so it has to represent strings as UCS-4 in the worst case, but it can store them as UCS-2 or Latin-1 if the string has no codepoints over 65,535 or 255, respectively. In that case, yes, you still end up with Latin-1 as an optimization. But Python has always prioritized ease of use over performance, and it had backwards compatibility constraints as well. For new designs, most people just see the overhead of UCS-4 as a bridge too far. Compared to that, it seems more attractive to bite the bullet and accept the downsides of variable-width encodings. And at that point you may as well pick UTF-8.

Scaling Infrastructure Engineering at Slack
The number of people living along the U.S. coast is currently 123 million (https://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/1022/20130326/popul...). With a population of more than 327 million people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States), the coast is a bit more than 1/3 but significant less than half and quite far from being majority.

(This is not a comment about calling it urban pockets. 123 millions is a lot. Just a note in regard to the statement that it could be called the majority.)
