It's worth investigating whether you're a candidate for PRK or the more recent SMILE procedure. LASIK is not applicable to high prescriptions, owing to how much cornea loss would be required to correct them.
Yeah but that's the issue. On eBay the seller has their feedback rating displayed prominently. On Amazon it is sold by <insert English odd word combo> "company" that nobody pays attention to as the ratings are on the product, and it indicates that the product you will get doesn't depend on who sells it really. It is also fulfilled by Amazon so you know you will get it fast. So the consumer basically considers the seller as a wholesaler (which they essentially are in this arrangement, and don't care.
Also get the executive. At the end of the year you get back 2% or $60, whichever is higher. So if you can front the extra $60, there's no reason to not do it.

I don't know why you were flagged, but I vouched you. You're absolutely right that demonstrating egregious errors in one part should necessarily cause one to not take the other parts at face value, aka Michael Crichton's ever-popular Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
I have a Pax 3 (cannabis vaporizer).

It has an app that adds functionality to the device to modify temperature controls, such as raising/lowering the temperature, and increasing the temperature as you draw, but lowering it when you're not drawing to conserve battery.

It's a great app that adds a fair amount of value to the product. It sucks to know that this won't be getting updated, or if I buy a new iPhone, I won't be able to install without jailbreaking.

I would love for Plume (creator of the Pax) to open source the app so that some users are able to build and run it, and the community would likely add some improvements. But we'll see what happens I suppose.
Yes, same here. You can discuss politics at work without making the other person seem evil because they disagree with you. You shouldn't be doing that in a work place - everyone needs to work together to make things happen, and you will be around people with obviously different viewpoints than you.
I've actually had this happen to stuff I bought, it's extremely shady and should be illegal.
Not much to it. I use an app on iOS called 'AnkiApp'

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ankiapp-flashcards/id689185915

I just read for an hour every morning, and once the chapter is complete, I go back through the chapter and create Anki flashcards for 30 mins, then study the cards I just created for 30 mins.

So right now my professor will be lecturing us on Chapters 7 and 10 next week on November 18. I did an hour of reading for chapter 10 today. I'll finish Chapter 10 and Chapter 7 by next week on the 17th.

So far, I've covered the material once: I read the chapter.

When my professor lectures us next week, I'll take detailed notes over the material. I write all my notes by hand.

So far, I've covered the material TWICE: I just took notes during lecture

Next week, since I finished Chapter 7 and 10 already, I'll continue my one hour routine every morning, but I'll do 30 minutes of creating Anki flashcards, and 30 minutes of studying those flashcards. Each time I perform an Anki session, it would be my THIRD time going over the material. Each additional time I study an Anki deck, the number increases.

I also realized that I become so much more productive when I started studying/reading first thing in the morning - I have the most energy, and it gives me that "Let's get this done and over with" mentality. I can wake up at 8, read until 9, then head out for class. Once I get home, I can do what I want.. I already studied. Homework is done in the afternoon. My day ends at 5. I treat school like a full time job essentially.
Not so quiet now that it's on the front page of hacker news.
That requires programming it... I mean amazon literally wants to automate these issues without actually programming it.
Four pillars to improve the quality of your E-Commerce Project or Module
I believe they were talking about the book's hyperbole, not yours. Though I don't agree with or really understand the basis for their decision that spreading FUD is ok if the subject is widely misunderstood.

I’m in the same boat as you, I stuck with contacts as the risks of the surgery and age-related need for glasses didn’t make much sense when contacts got me really great vision and no complications. They go in when I wake up and come out when I sleep and I rarely know I have them in.

Somewhat surprising because I am very near-sighted and have astigmatism.

If contacts weren’t as good a solution I probably would have gone for laser surgery. I hated wearing glasses - the biggest aspect was how they distort your vision a little. I can see much better with contacts than glasses.
Then perhaps you never used a better app.
I agree Amazon Prime is a trap. Without it the free shipping starts at around €29. That alone makes me bundle my purchases, which hinders impulse buying.

Based on observing Prime members I feel most people would be much better off without the subscription.
Exactly. This is statistically a non-story.

MY STORY:
I was recently interested in Lasik because I could no longer wear contacts. I ran into Dr. Oz's expose video right away, and realized that since at least 2013 there was a constant local/national news cycle promoting the lasikcomplications.com group.

This freaked me out quite a bit.

I read many of the negative posts, not all, but a large number said something like "Dr's told me my cornea wasn't thick enough but I had the procedure anyway."

THE NUMBERS:
Google very heavily features https://lasikcomplications.com/ and its FB page when you do any basic search, their FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/LasikComplicationsFaceBookGr... page has 6,400 members.

In the U.S. ~9 million people have had Lasik, internationally it's 30 million. There FB group has effectively no membership, their FDA petition has less than 2k signers.

The site mentions suicide rate prominently, but the baseline suicide rate from https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/ is 14.0 per 100,000, and it didn't seem like that rate was higher for people who got Lasik, it seemed lower really.

Ok, so I was confident that people with real complications have an outlet, and that outlet seems to be concentrated in this single group, so english world complaints should be pretty reliably represented in this group... and there just aren't that many complaints.

so...... statistically outcomes look great.

RESULT:

I got Lasik 4 months ago, couldn't be happier with the outcome, due to my risk tolerances if I could have kept wearing contacts I wouldn't have gotten it but everything has been hunky dory. On the plus side because I can easily wear sunglasses again my light triggered migraines (transitioning to sunlight is a problem) have all but disappeared and I am back long distance cycling again because my vision isn't jostling on the bike any longer.

Also, this group definitely juices its numbers by focusing on the large percentage of people who have dry eyes and halos during the recovery period and they include those as "complications", I had those for the first month, I've since met a surprising number of people who got Lasik (they come out of the woodwork once you get it) and people have different lengths of recovery from dry eyes, the longest I've met was 7 months and they were still very happy with getting it.
It sounds like she/he/they really don't like your product and are reluctant to admit they were wrong. I for one am enjoying my Pulumi adventure.
I'm a very visual person as well! Sometimes when I'm reading a chapter, I'll draw a graph to understand certain concepts a bit better.
I'm surprised Amazon hasn't taken action on the dicey quality problems, because I've watched it grow from obscure topic of online conversation to complaints from people I know personally who aren't particularly picky. This must be costing them money, and it isn't getting smaller.
I used to teach snowboarding as a contractor and had no choice over the price of my services. The resort set the price and I had to either accept or not work with them.
I'm going to be kind to them and assume they are using the AI to augment the obviously simple "rating delta over time" I'd do as the first pass solution.

Like "Over a 3 month period this product reviewed at 3.7 and the next 2.1" maybe look into why.
It’s a little more than just auth. Websites have different codes of conduct, different attitudes to humour/off topic content, and crucially different moderation and user safety policies. Remember on most random web forums you have no idea who can see your IP address (if anonymity is important).

Much of this is true on Reddit too, except mods seeing your IP address, but most of the important info is consistently in the subreddit sidebar.
Huh. Kind of similar to rope memory in function but packaged completely differently.

I wouldn't change anything about it. When I graduate and get my first network engineer job, I'll be studying for my CCNP, so I'll probably wake up at 7, read until 8, then get ready for work. After each chapter, I'll spend (2) 1 hour sessions to work on flash cards, then move on to other chapters. This could change though.
You know what AliExpress service I actually want.

I want to pick a quarterly amount that I would like to pay for a "surprise box" of curated items within a few categories that I select.

So, lets say, I want to spend $100/qtr. And I say I want my grab-bag to come from categories/interests (max 3) XYZ.

Then I get a box every quarter with surprise stuff.

Start the service small. two verticals "things" and "projects"

I can select one or the other.

Then Start small and select one from three categories in each vertical.

Then the service will curate a "things" grab bag in the three categories. for each tier that the user selected. $100 $200 or $300 per quarter.

Then each grab bag will be sent to each user in each tier per vertical based on category.

I'd rather do that than scroll through billions of products on Alibaba/express.
I too am of the opinion the question recurses indefinitely, which would mean it's unanswerable and perhaps not even a valid question technically speaking.
Reader mode worked for me for the whole article.

TL;DR two data points (trajectories) is not enough to understand the dynamics of the heliopause, as we saw different flow in each, but it’s all we got.
The point is I don't care. I'd rather have the specs of what I'll need five years from now right now and have a very comfortable machine than having a reasonable machine now, spending a day upgrading it later, having a then reasonable machine until it's retired.

The difference in cost is not that huge. I'm not talking about getting an 8-way Xeon Platinum box with 16 TB of RAM to put under my desk.
There are literally several thousand people who work on marketplace fraud and quality issues. It's a huge concern.
In my case, I went to a world class eye institute that is part of OHSU. I am lucky in that we have a pretty serious research hospital here in Portland, so I didn't have to travel.

I don't know how you find the best in your area, but I was mostly referring to the strip mall lasik centers. If you aren't familiar with these, they are a budget lasik provider that has past generation equipment, run by technicians instead of eye doctors. They run ads on billboards, and in the local coupon books that are delivered to your house....These are the places that I think are mostly being referred to by the article.
I went back to argos (UK retailer) for small stuff and ebuyer/aria for everything else tech related - they have the same range as amazon (in their domains), the same returns ease (better in the case of ebuyer in practive).

I buy very little from Amazon, enough that I'm going to cancel prime since the only thing of theirs I still use is is Amazon Prime TV and well..its OK but not enough to justify it.
I guess we have different experiences with banks. I'd never use Apple or Google as a wallet myself, they already have enough power without tapping to people's financial transactions.

I get a lot of super smart roboteers on my robotics teams. They get a chance to socialize with others. Because we compete they get a chance to meet other teams roboteers. So there is lots of ways to meet others.

There is a distinction I'm being exceedingly careful to make between intent and effect.

The Difference Between Quick and Full Format of a Disk
Some might say the difference is that normal people are using the internet.
I disagree. What Reddit brings to the table is:

1. Easy sharing: Subreddits, which are an easy location to share interesting information about a common topic. Creating your own website is an order of magnitude harder, especially if you want to allow anyone on the internet to post to it

2. Discoverability: You can easily discover subreddits information related to your interests. Reddit's ability to aggregate the various information sources and present options that users find interesting is the biggest reason lurkers&voters (90% of it's users) keep returning.
Most of this reads like quibbles to me. The thought of possibly having permanent eye damage, no matter how “insignificant”, in exchange for minor convenience/vanity and only myself to blame is a bit too much.

In my sisters case, she now has prescription night driving glasses and prefers not to drive at night with my niece. I’m not sure why but “was worth it” is what she’d say and similar reasons to yours are what she’d give.

> One big problem with the plan, which a lot of people don't realize, is that your typical university math degree isn't that much more challenging than doing well in high school math.

I think this is very US-specific. Here in Europe there's definitely a huge difference. You enroll in a pure math-only 5 year degree, and are talking about topology in your third semester already. That might be a specific thing only my analysis prof does, but quite a lot of time is devoted to neatly delineating different levels of structure you're equipping a space with, proving things with as less structure as possible or at least discussing it. You are expected to juggle tricks on a totally different level, which takes a lot more qualitatively different practice than in HS.

When I talk to people who take math classes in the US it's usually not on that level of engagement until the graduate courses. Maybe it depends on their university, in smaller European countries you often have just like one main math program that is then high-intensity.
Do you have research you can cite?
Can anyone find the speed of this memory?
Yes, the new missions now have a Delta-V of something like 11 kilometers per second, which is insane. For instance, the New Horizons which only took 9 years to get to Pluto had thrusters with a Delta-V of only like 0.27 kilometers per second, so most of the trip was done using gravity assists. Missions now can do some crazy things like orbit two separate bodies.

To put it into perspective, Voyager 1 has a current speed of 17 kilometers per second. So the Dawn craft has most of that trip covered without gravity assists if it wanted. AFAIK there's nothing stopping us from loading up some craft with more fuel and larger ion engines except for launch weight. And even then, if we mastered orbital refueling we could surpass that.

As it stands, the craft can carry approximately the same amount of Delta-V that the rocket that got it into space. Equivalent to tons of fuel from chemical rockets.
The philosophy of Haiku sounds like a goal that what Linux should have been for the desktop. Unfortunately the distro ecosystem has riddled it with endless pitstops of issues, competition of similar technologies like KDE, GNOME, X11 and Wayland fighting each other, whereas OSes like macOS, Windows and Haiku have an integrated system and a consistent experience of their OS.

Ask HN: What if Joe Biden used his influence?
I have followed the hearings today and I don't understand the fuzz.

Trump wanted to dig up dirt on Joe Biden by exploring the opportunity of his sin Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden has a grotten a good job. But who, and more interesting, why was he chosen for that job?

Did Joe Biden use his political influence to make sure his son got that job or did it happen because Hunter really was the Best candidate?

I call bullshit on Joe Biden not using his influence and then i cannot ser why trump is any worse?

Enlighten me. Discuss

There's a saying among KSP players: "Orbit is halfway to anywhere".

It takes a lot of energy to escape Earth's gravity well. It takes a comparatively tiny amount to escape the Sun's, as a sibling poster pointed out. It would be actually harder to visit, say, Mercury, as you now have to shed all the energy Earth has given you for free, in order to "fall" into the Sun's well.

Voyager wanted to visit multiple planetary bodies – changing orbital parameters is not cheap. But if all it wanted was to get out of the system, burning straight out would probably be cheaper (in Delta-V terms). The closer to Earth the better, for the Oberth effect.
So while we are in awe, there is some group of engineers that are going "hey grandkid, let me tell you about Mylar memory. They pushed the envelope back in the day. It would be nice if some of these articles would have names so we could go "wow Bob, that was some amazing engineering".
Which part is a lie?
True about source of information. When people (me included) find things on google, just also add `site:reddit.com` or just `reddit` next to keyword, most noise results are likely to be gone.

Related, I went to buy a shoe stretcher on Amazon. Had to buy 3 before I got one that wasn't complete garbage.

I'd have gone to someplace local but none of the local places have much inventory for quality goods anymore either...

For me Amazon is still a net win in regards to convenience, but there are a lot of things I just won't buy.

Heck for a little while earlier this year the official Sonicare page was somehow taken over by people selling knock-off replacement heads, all the links from the manufacturers verified page went to obviously fraudulent misspelled products.

Why did she get LASIK? When I got it, it was made extremely clear that it wouldn't help with reading glasses-level problems and may in fact cause me to need them.
Gotcha, so things like hot-reloading wouldn’t work right now. Still, looks like y’all are going in the right direction. Thanks for all the details! One more question, is there a way to interop Pulumi with Skaffold or Tilt?

And as for the rest, why they could just get a terminal with a 110 baud acoustically-coupled modem and try their luck breaking in.

Sounds like she s overly cautious. I hated all kinds of glasses and contacts, and even some dryness sometimes and some glare at night is incomparably better than having to rely on those. Then again, i m lucky that i only had to do it in one eye, so i can compare vision with the intact one. Still, would recommend 100%.
Bitflate dev here. I've advocated for making a crypto with constant inflation. I think it's useful for transaction use case. It is a complementary crypto to Store of Value crypto.
