Last I checked they banned all cartridges with flavor at the federal level, but made an exception for the liquid you put into your homebuilt equipment.

I am not sure what this accomplishes. Perhaps making it difficult enough that teenagers don't vape?

The big problem seems to be that vaping has never been proven to be safe or safer than cigarettes. There's always been the assumption that it is.

My suspicion is that something like this outbreak will happen again.

I'm not a fan of the vaping companies since their goal seems to be to get users addicted to their product but they should go through the process of proving that vaping is safer than cigarettes so they don't get blamed for the next outbreak. And cigarette users have a choice that's less harmful than smoking cigarettes.

If the fab is in the US, we can take over the plant and use the existing workers who as Americans are loyal to the US over the company. Of course we have to kick out foreign company leadership, but there are plenty of leaders who can run a plant with the same processes for a few years while learning what is really needed. Odds are there will be some local leaders who can step up. The plant might fall behind the latest processes but it will be good for what it does for a while - long enough to finish the war
The stories were never about cannabis vaping either. They were about adulterated cannabis extract vaping.

Someone using a cannabis flower vaporizer (e.g. PAX 2/3, Firefly, Arizer, Volcano) with pure lab tested flower was never at risk for the lung disease that vitamin E acetate has caused.

The linked article doesn't mention vitamin E acetate, so here's one that discusses it:

If you wanna go another layer on “the great hack” the fun bit is Brittney Kaiser is full of crap. She ran election interference for the last Mexican presidential election.

I feel like propaganda is more subtle or persuasive. I’d personally have used a less charged word like “biased.”
I assume many of the effects are long-term and would be hard to quantify in a short-term clinical trial. In that case, what could be done to prove vaping is safer than cigarettes within a reasonable time to market?
One hint was the rise of new management with generic new chiefs with no field experience and few human skills. Highly inhuman large scale management too (playing with people's mind, parking them), profit seeking rather than service and dignity.

They're clearly an advocate for vaping, however title [1] and summary are accurate. Per the CDC study:

"Among EVALI patients reporting use of any THC-containing products, 122 of 130 (94%) of those aged 13–17 years acquired products through only informal sources"

"A recent case-control study found vitamin E acetate in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of 94% of 51 EVALI patients and in none of 99 healthy controls in the comparator group (4)."

"In addition, an analysis of THC-containing products seized by law enforcement in Minnesota found no vitamin E acetate in 10 products seized in 2018, and 100% of 20 products seized in 2019 contained vitamin E acetate (5)"

School teams are classed by grade level. Non-school teams are by age. Non-school teams are generally seen as a fun thing to do on weekends, while school teams can become very serious. Hold your kid back early and they will be the star of the team 12 years latter. Some of this is because at some critical points their body is physically better than their peers and thus they get to play a little more and get that much more practice. Some of it is the parents who think doing well in sports is important are teaching their kids young to play sports and so those kids are getting practice at home that other kids do not get.
In my opinion, yes. It managed to solve the problem successfully without the risk of using a script.

Unless you're Gates or the like with deep pockets, you shouldn't be near nuclear power as an investor unless public policy shifts to properly reward nuclear for its low carbon generating profile. This is why nuclear has closed up in states unwilling to subsidize it; it's not cost competitive with combined cycle natural gas, wind, or solar.

You could buy individual symbols (on top of an ESG ETF/fund vehicle) to get exposure to nuclear if you absolutely had your heart set on it. I would not recommend doing so.
Thus far the discussion has focused on non-Ph.D. posing as field expert and coming up with original research. However, if you’re trying to evaluate some pop science in media (which is likely garbage, so always start with negative points) and have a friend or family member with a B.S. to talk to, they’re often qualified to debunk a large class of bullshit. For instance, if there’s a news report of a perpetual motion machine, and a physics major tells you it’s obviously bullshit because it violates the first and/or second law of thermodynamics, they’re likely correct. In less obvious scenarios, hopefully they would try to track down the source and try to make sense of it, and tell you if the source is garbage (in case they’re qualified to evaluate it), and/or if the source is misrepresented in media. This isn’t always possible and assumes a humble person who don’t brag about things they don’t understand, though; if the person is known to be boastful then you probably won’t place too much trust on them anyway.

The above is probably more useful for hard sciences though. Honestly when it comes to psychology I take theories endorsed by actual field experts with a grain of salt.

And again, just as was the case with Boeing, the blame lands squarely on the shoulders of regulators who failed to adequately do their jobs.

In the case of Boeing, the regulatory approach was a joke, and in the case of vaping, regulators had their heads in the sand about a multi billion dollar black market for years.

The death toll resulting from backward recreational drug regulation in the US is mind boggling, not to mention all those still suffering in prison.

People have a knee-jerk reaction of blaming firms and assuming that regulators are doing their best, when in fact regulators are the ones who create the entire (black, gray, etc.) market landscape for all participants to operate in.
Okay, is this a ShowHN? Or just an ad? Why would I care? Do you want a critic?
I see these types of comments here quit a bit, and I'm guessing they're mostly from folks with no kids or ever having kids.

Certainly there is an argument to be made for working less and living with less, but for most people $1M invested doesn't check out. If you're relying solely on returns from that investment, then conservatively you can only safely withdraw 3-4%, which works out to 30-40k a year. That's close to full time on minimum wage in some states. While that's enough to survive, not sure if that'd be a fulfilling life for most, even while single. What happens if you have a family later?

EDIT: Also not sure how many can actually save that much in 5-10 years. That's 100k - 200k of savings after tax. Even with compound interest, that's pretty tough for most I would think.

>Cigarettes kill almost 500,000 people a year in the US alone.

I really feel like such statistics, for other topics as well, are unnecessarily sensationalist. Yes, people are dying from smoking related diseases, but they're not dropping dead from smoking. They smoke (and derive pleasure from doing so) for decades and increase their chances of lung disease. The truth doesn't sound quite as urgent, IMO.

But I do agree with your general sentiment.
That looks neat. I don't own an IPhone so I can't use it. What made you decide to create an AR dog? How do you feel about it displacing regular pets?
Lesson: don't do one-off projects. Find a project that meets you needs, and copy it. Make minor tweaks to their design to fit your needs, but copy as much as possible.

Houses typically go according to plan because so many of the processes and parts are standard. Even large mansions can go according to plan if you have good management (note that cheap management is rewarded for change orders and thus will ensure things don't go according to plan while better management will see that if they don't make a minor change now things won't go according to plan latter.
That 500,000 number includes those who have been smoking for many many years from a wide age range. Also the total number of smokers is also a large number (across years). So it is really not a fair comparison
I think there are two related problems -

one is contamination of black market carts

the other is the rise of teenage nicotine intake

My understanding is many of the federal laws are meant to address the latter, while the local laws like the MA vape ban meant to address the former are now being rolled back.
My own random Apple-connected moment of delight. In 2005, when they announced Dashboard widgets, I was running a data-visualization site built off Google News called Buzztracker [0]. It was a really simple idea and hackneyed execution, but it worked and was quite popular: it mapped the news from 1000s of sources onto a map, allowing you to navigate via geography into the day's events.

I took an afternoon and knocked out a widget edition of the site. If I remember correctly, you submitted your widgets to Apple.com and they had a little gallery. Well, I came home a few days later and my server was melting: thousands of hits/second from apple.com. It turned out they decided to make the entire homepage of apple.com a hot-link to my widget. [1] It stayed that way for about 24 hours — June 17 - 18, 2005.

I love this era of the 'net — when apple.com would just link to a dev's or designer's project. I almost fell out of my chair. Printed the screenshot out. I still remember the bar I went to that night, who I had a celebratory drink with in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, sort of marveling at the absurdity of it all.

The exposure didn't have any marked direct effect on my career or work, but it did boost my confidence in that maybe I wasn't working on such useless stuff in isolation on the other side of the world.

[0] http://buzztracker.org — the maps don't work because the SSIs are broken; but we often forget, Google News was one of the first times world-wide news was consolidated into a somewhat homogenous format (most sites weren't using RSS when it launched in 2001/2), certainly not one you could easily scrape and process global news patterns.

I don't agree. I tried these, some time ago (I admit) and found it a less than stellar experience. It actually isn't about vi vs emacs, its about 'have sensible keyboard shortcuts' and 'have shortcuts consistent with the industry'
> But time was taken from something else and all the 2-6 grade kids learned to use Powerpoint and Word which essentially none of them (now all college age) have used in years.

My computer classes in ~6th grade (1999) involved at some point learning Excel by building stock portfolio spreadsheets, researching companies on the internet, making “investments” and tracking our profits over time. We learned Word and Powerpoint as well, but getting into the formulas in Excel was super fun for me, and came at a time when I was starting to play with Basic and Perl outside of school.

After that I was also way ahead of future friends in high school and college at building out spreadsheet calculators for science projects, research papers, club budgets, whatever.

I was back home a few years ago and ran into the teacher who taught that class and actually thanked him specifically for his Excel classes, as they’d caught my interest enough to still be thinking about them 20 years later!

Way better than all the time we spent learning cursive...
Is there any other way to live in America ?
Just as many regulatory approaches don't work, outright bans is one that clearly doesn't work. They are rooted in a backward, dualistic view of the world.

In the case of banning recreational drugs, the history of those laws is among the ugliest bits of American history.

The practice of allowing firms to self-regulate crucial aircraft safety practices is also very foolhardy.

When will we start holding the right parties responsible for all these tragedies? We the people need to insist that regulators step up and make us safer, not cater to whatever interest group has achieved regulatory capture.
Burning carbon chains and directly afterwards ingesting it into the lungs has been proven to be quite bad, it does cell and tissue damage and hinders a healthy cell respiration. Is there any reason we should expect worse effects from vaping which, as I understand it, if done correctly doesn't produce harmful carbons?
The difficulty (in my view) comes from ensuring that I can't just clone/replicate the state of the device from when I had more tries left and then try again.

That assumes there’s no long term cancer risk from vaping, which we simply don’t know yet.

There has been some trouble with that too. Washington state doesn't require lab testing for pesticides, and in other states there have been cases of fraudulent testing (https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/industry-insiders-warn... https://www.leafly.com/news/industry/sequoia-analytics-surre... )

The industry is still maturing and I'm confident things will get better with time. But for the time being, consumers should exercise reasonable caution.
Yeah I generally agree. There’s a lot of risk averse investors it seems. I don’t have the data so I can’t say for certain, but it feels like VC is just betting on companies that already have product, revenue, a solid customer base, and almost zero chance of completely failing.

a16z, benchmark, SV angles (when they were around), etc. only got where they are by taking massive risk - on founders with no track record and often just a prototype of demo.

Now, just to get a seed round, you need a fully featured product, with distribution and revenue.

It just feels like the wonder and risk of creating world changing tech without worrying about financial outcome is dead. Which, honestly makes sense from an investment thesis standpoint. You minimize risk by following the leader or investing later stage. It’s growth equity, not true or traditional VC that requires a 10x return. Most VCs are happy with 1.5-3x now (relatively happy).
