They article says on marathon days it took 4.4 minutes to get to the hospital, with similar number of incidents as on regular days. That's believable. That would also be true if there was a parade or a big football game.
The "heat not burn" systems that big tobacco companies have been pushing as a vaping alternative recently seem like they would be better sellers than cigarettes. They appear to use less materials and cause their users to consume more as they don't smell anywhere near as much (can be used anywhere) and are simply more convenient in general. Users also end up smoking more as there's a short time window to use a stick.
I keep thinking about the reasoning of Twitter's Jack Dorsey for banning political ads--that the technology was too dangerous for use in politics:

"While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions.

Internet political ads present entirely new challenges to civic discourse: machine learning-based optimization of messaging and micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes. All at increasing velocity, sophistication, and overwhelming scale."

https://twitter.com/jack/status/1189634360472829952

But if modern targeted advertising is powerful enough to be dangerous in politics, why is that technology not also dangerous in the hands of commercial advertisers? It seems like it would be equally dangerous in either hands. If anything, it seems like commercial actors would be less likely to be benevolent and more likely to have the resources to use the technology even more effectively.

Maybe that's wrong though (and maybe there are reasons why there is a distinction), but it is something I keep finding myself thinking about.
> 2757 deaths in 11,074 hospitalizations

That seems like a high death rate for hospitalizations, does it not? Would be interesting to see the breakdown of admissions and cause of death.
> However, for fiat-currency transactions, it is an effective necessity to leave your fiat currency in an "exchange" called a bank, if you want instant electronic transactions

Yes. However there is also cash which allows for instant anonymous transactions in the physical world which is sufficiently widely accepted to be used to the exclusion of banks, if you so choose.

> you can engage in instant electronic transactions with Bitcoin you hold in your own wallet

Isn't the fact that transactions are not instant widely perceived in the Bitcoin community as one of, if not the, greatest barrier to adoption? If not, why all the investment in the Lightning network?

> Bitcoin's design permits all the same institutional protections available for dollar bills or precious-metal coins, and additionally permits others that are enormously more secure than the mere incentive structures we must rely on in the case of dollar-based institutions. For example, a bank holding gold or dollars cannot produce a mathematical proof of its reserves as a Bitcoin bank can, and there is no dollar equivalent of multisig wallets.

You're saying these words but not addressing the substance of what I said. There is no FDIC equivalent for Bitcoin - unless there's an exchange that guarantees replacement of lost/stolen Bitcoins? Replacing Bitcoin seems a difficult proposition when fiat currency can just be created out of thin air but Bitcoin cannot - once it's lost, it's lost, and can only be replaced in a zero-sum way.
Damn, you're right (I didn't want to believe you, so I checked) - or at least Wikipedia states the same thing:

What you think MAGA stands for is not what it actually stands for. You're stating all kinds of extremist positions that 99% of people in the US do not hold.

Anyone can stir up outrage against a made up situation.
We have documentary and archaeological sources to corroborate our model of the historical record, and scientific methods to determine the age and authenticity of those sources to a reasonable degree. While hoaxes do exist, they tend to be discovered in time, and it is unlikely that the entire historical record, including all physical artifacts, are hoaxes or frauds. It isn't the case that anything that "sounds pretty and does not contradict previously made stories" is automatically assumed to be correct - the various sciences and disciplines that make up historical research are not that naive, nor do they operate entirely on hearsay and speculation.

> Obama and the Democratic Party are, by no stretch of the imagination, far-left.

Indeed. My point is that social media works about equally well for both mainstream left (the Obama campaign) and mainstream right (the Trump campaign). It also works for both far-left and far-right. I know people who have been radicalized this way in both directions.

> I suspect whoever had used it first would have been celebrated at the time. [...] If Cambridge Analytica had come along 5 years earlier in the political cycle, the Republicans would have been lauded for finding a marvellous new technique to engage the electorate

I'm sorry, but this is such a naive take that I honestly don't know how to respond to it. Even as a child I was able to deduce, from the obvious editorial slant in the newspaper, that an inversion of tribal affiliations like this would never happen. I challenge you to find any article in the NYT or Guardian that paints any new election strategies by any right-wing politicians favorably.

Ask HN: How to connect serverless lambda functions to custom domain?
I generated a free ssl certificate from sslforfree to host my lambda functions to api.ansaar.in whose DNS is managed by GoDaddy.

I have a serverless AWS Lambda APIs project. I intend to deploy it on a custom domain.

The custom domain's SSL certificates were imported successfully.

As suggested by serverless blog successfully ran sls create_domain

sls create_domain

sls deploy run seems successfully too:

serverless deploy

Now, whenever I hit api.ansaar.in - it doesn't work at all.

What is the problem here?
Hi Dr. Nick!
Its not a lot of vitamin d. 10 minutes in the sun can generate 20,000ui.
When my levels were close to 500nmol/l, I felt really good, but that was from summertime exposure even on cloudy days with top off. Problem is at those levels, some consider that to be toxic and I didn't know what else my body was being depleted of more quickly than normal, but a brussel sprouts craving did develop which could have been many things including folates.

Plus what equipment was used to do these measurements? , Vitamin d testing is variable which is why the Standardization program exists and its also possible other test equipment could be variable for other measurements because different manufacturers will patent methods and these could be different to another manufacturer using a different patented method. So a standardization program needs to be established for all tests using different machines including mass spectrometry.

When I started programming a few years back, I was told that PHP is legacy tech and a terrible language I should avoid like a plague. After years of battling with Node.js on the backend, I took a closer look at modern PHP and the Laravel framework and I was amazed by how good the developer experience was. The language itself feels like a lite version of Java. I believe everyone starting on web development should know PHP. It's hugely deployed, it has a very mature and rich ecosystem and it's a great language to build your side project/business without spending your time on meaningless tasks. Don't be driven by FOMO like I was, there's no such thing as a "perfect programming language". Every language has it's quirks and that's fine. PHP might be old and boring but it helps you get things done faster than using the new coolest language.

I agree. People forget that you can't avoid types. It's the shape of the data. Whether they are static or dynamic/uni, you still have them, and you have to deal with them. I'd much rather deal with it upfront, statically, at compile time. I find it works much better for me, and it helps me model my program. The compiler is a tool I use to ask questions about my program, and we work together to build the shape together.
“Shop $url and use $code to receive $discount of your order,” is pretty standard for those of us who are small time “influencers.” They don’t rely on our likes but on how much we actually increases their sales which they can see via our specific code.

Compared to the fun times of Labour in the sixties and seventies. Or early eighties Trotskyite Militant Tendency, with all the "fun" councils and leaders like Derek Hatton - and Blunkett - once leader of strike supporting Sheffield council - a nuclear free city (lol), who now tries to position himself as a moderate. They used to be in the news pretty much every day (well it felt that way).

Momentum aren't even in the same league. They are far less influential than Militant were, or the ERG within the Tories. The majority of the MPs aren't supporters. Tom Watson more likely takes issue with Corbyn's impossible dance with Brexit, and the clique around Corbyn - at heart Corbyn wants to leave too, or the failed attempt to oust him.

Momentum appears to be a mostly failed attempt to recreate those Militant days, except they are a far less successful parasite.

That does not necessarily follow. Geography is highly ethnically divided, generally speaking, and globalism is a new phenomenon. The fact that US immigration laws predominantly affect Hispanic people in a negative way is not racist, it's because we share a land border which nearly only has Hispanic people on the other side of it to the tip of the continent and beyond.

Where you have to have a concern is about ENFORCEMENT. Because the laws applied equally to a white Canadian sneaking across the border as they do to a Mexican sneaking across the border, but one is more likely to receive enforcement action than the other.

But it's important to understand the distinction between enforcement and legislation. Both should be addressed, but it's silly to throw the baby out with the bathwater and fail to understand the mechanism of action.
Well, in "common law" jurisdictions the common law is supposed to consist of all those things that are traditionally regarded as wrong, as distinct from "statute law" which has been explicitly defined. They are considered different sources of law by legal scholars. And as far as I'm aware immigration has never been considered part of common law.

French law has a similar kind of droit administrativ / droit naturel distinction.

More importantly, immigration is particularly prone to the law changing under you, so even if you have complied entirely up to that point, you may become "illegal" despite not having done anything, and it may not be possible to regularise your situation.

Are you open to the possibility that even your deeply held beliefs, like “veganism is unhealthy” could be wrong? I have very frequently blundered into defending a false assertion for far longer than I should have, especially in work settings where you never know when you might meet someone much, much more well informed about a subject than yourself.

That burned me a lot when I was younger. Intellectual humility has never failed to serve me. I wish I was more humble about my strongly held opinions (that I thought were facts) when I was younger.
> Redis modifications are transactional

That's only true if they do not error—there is no "rollback" feature in Redis, and if you do error, anything you've done up to that point remains.

That's not transactional, it's more "you can, sometimes, execute a bunch of separate statement atomically".

If he wore the MAGA hat at the conference, I would actually be somewhat with you on this, in such a case I think staff should initially politely tell the person to take the hat off and escalate from there. My reasoning for this would be that someone walking around with such a hat at a conference is probably just begging for reactions, and US politics doesn't really fit into a conference environment.

However, you're being disingenuous. He didn't wear it at a large event, he thought it would be a fun idea to put it on in front of Trump Tower and share a picture of it with his friends on social media. That's something I might even do as a fun tourist picture, and I really don't like Trump.

This conference is not banning him for conduct at the event, they are banning him for an innocuous social media post on his personal twitter account, a week before the event has even begun. They are just policing the political views of attendees. That's what people have a problem with.
Perfect, I will include it in the next issue.

> You could wheel the prisoner on a bed into the courtroom with machines beeping. What would this judge’s ruling say to do? You can “see” the “living” prisoner present, but it’s not medically or legally known at that moment if it’s reversible, and if it’s not, the declaration of “death” actually has urgent ramifications for other people.

Which is why the same law also says that "In the event that artificial means of support preclude a determination that [spontaneous respiratory and circulatory] functions have ceased, a person will be considered dead if in the announced opinion of two physicians, based on ordinary standards of medical practice, that person has experienced an irreversible cessation of spontaneous brain functions."

I mean, seriously, just Google "Iowa death definition" and you can find all this. There is no loophole whereby the judge gets to just go with his gut.

> It’s precisely because there can be such complicated corner cases that we absolutely should not accept a judge’s snappy line of rhetoric about seeing the prisoner present in the courtroom as legal basis.

It's not the legal basis. It's, like you said, a snappy line of rhetoric. In the written decision/order the judge will refer to the statute and to the uncontested fact that the man's lack of respiratory and circulatory functioning was reversed.

> This has direct implications because that one-off armchair wisdom of that one judge suddenly affects what the state definition of death means by “irreversible” even if that was not the common sense intention.

No, it doesn't. A judge's snappy rhetoric doesn't make new law. You're tilting at windmills here.

You are absolutely being misleading. The statement "Veganism is unhealthy" is objectively wrong in the sense that it implies that it cannot be done healthily. Practically any diet or activity in general is unhealthy if proper precautions are not taken. In the case of veganism, the proper precaution happens to be B12 supplementation. You clearly know this as indicated by your disclaimer about 'nuance'. You are making an equivalent statement to me saying "You are making asshole comments (but there is some nuance)" - there is an element of truth to the statement, but it is misleading and first and foremost designed to create an emotional reaction.

If you worked in academia, you know how the review process is happening. Even if you deal with exact science papers, most of them are misleading in some way (fortunately, you can show it since it is exact science). History is full of politics and it is pretty costly to go against it. In practice, when you have a story accepted as fact, you job is to put a little peace to supplement it. If you deviate too far, you will be destroyed by the ones whose current job is also add a little peace. For instance, there is a huge political aspect to who did what first and where.
