Vape liquid base is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Oils don't belong in vape juice at all.
Black market "chemists" (thanks, drug war!) put Vitamin-E acetate in to stretch out the thing people wanted (THC), with the thing that killed several of them.
Press and the Pres used the hysteria to ban the flavors people (not just teens) like.
Why? 9/11 and the Patriot Act.
How? Be mad and let your elected officials know.
Just to clarify, because I was very confused--you mean that there is very little correlation between smoking and additional risk after contracting COVID-19, as your source is entirely dedicated to.

There's significant risk to vaping, based on numerous studies.

The tradeoff of putting a giant bezel on top of the phone in order to support being able to take a tiny number of actions in a few apps by waving your hands instead of touching your phone was... Probably not the right tradeoff. How often do you use your phone without, y'know, also holding it in your hand, and thus being able to touch it? And if they hadn't shipped Soli in the 4, I wonder if they would've saved enough manufacturing $$ to put an ultrawide camera in to compete with the iPhone 11...

From the current leaks it sounds like Soli isn't going to make it into the Pixel 4a; I'm curious whether it makes it into the 5 (and TBH hope it doesn't, unless they can figure out how to not make it take up a huge amount of bezel space).

Soli makes a lot of sense for the Google/Nest Home line of products, where you rarely are close enough to touch them. But for your phone? I just don't get it, and it seems like few people find it useful. I'm pretty surprised it shipped and would be very curious to learn how that happened, since it seems to have negatively impacted the product pretty heavily.

Pretty simple: More sellers than buyers. People of libertarian bent have already loaded up with Cryptos. Not many buyers left.

I've never heard of Solarpunk before, but I'm going to go read/watch everything in this genre now.

"If Cyberpunk rebelled against post-war optimism, Solarpunk rebels against today’s structural pessimism. Only around since 2015, Solarpunk creates bright, beautiful worlds with rich atmospheres. Solarpunk’s aesthetic draws inspiration from Art Noveau and artists like Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki. If Hayao Miyazaki’s Future Boy Conan is Solarpunk’s Alphaville, Beasts of The Southern Wild is Solarpunk’s Shockwave Rider."
Why? These things happen, it’s life.
How short term are these loans?
The real risk isn't with the players -- the real risk is that if you have someone (spectator, foodservice worker, officail, etc.) who's been infected, but hasn't yet shown any symptoms, they're interacting with a ton of other people in a short span in an uncontrolled way. It's a huge potential driver for community spread.

Swift can't remove things from the standard library anymore either. Otherwise if the OS updated, and a symbol was missing, apps needing that symbol wouldn't launch.
They did that weeks ago. Where have you been? They shut down travel from China a month ago. Which countries managed to contain this thing, by the way? Because I see tens of thousands of cases in Europe and Asia and the Middle East, by the way.
The most difficult to understand aspect of the WAM are its put_unsafe instructions which permits WAM's incredibly simple LCO. You can only appreciate its ingenuity after you had struggled with last call optimizations in engines like the ZIP or the VAM where you need several passes over the environments.

The steel man of that argument is that yes, with no feedback you have nothing to evaluate your decisions against, and all feedback is outside feedback.

That said, I think the person you're responding to meant outside feedback as in opinions from peers, which I agree is very powerful, but not strictly necessary.

Ask HN: As a tourist in the US, what should I do if I have coronavirus symptoms?
The doctors I've spoken to are refusing a house call and suggested I go to the ER, which sounds like a bad idea.

Currently in Las Vegas but I've been in Los Angeles for a few weeks until 3 days ago.

I keep getting bounced from phone call to phone call, and everyone either say ER or contact your health insurance.

I've isolated myself since I started to exhibit symptoms and I have protection and disinfectants.

It seems a tad irresponsible to just let it heal because IF (big IF) it's indeed corona I could have spread and those people/places should know.
I had a conversation with a "very serious" economist the other day about monetary policy was basically solved, and that the Great Moderation proved that we were totally in control...$1.5trn...govt debt monetized, every time we pull back the market collapses, and now we are on fire again...this is connected, if you give a heroin addict more heroin, their health will improve...keep doing it, and they will get sick.

The game is over. The market saw this, and kept falling. It is over...hopefully, things will improve from now and we stop pumping money into markets (and we realise that central bankers had no fucking idea what they were doing...they were just doing whatever was politically expedient, which is...hand out free money).

I have always associated classes with inheritance. Perhaps there are other scenarios where classes are unrelated to inheritance. I don't know as I intentionally avoid classes all together.

I avoid inheritance because inheritance increases complexity. By complexity I simply mean it in terms of complicate, or to make many. I am not speaking to anything related to challenges, easiness, or hardships. Inheritance is a practice of a concept called polyinstantiation, which allows easy dynamic replication of an object in memory so that many child or cloned objects are independently extensible.

The idea that Microsoft is responsible for what people do with their software has a lot of problems, IMO.

But Microsoft should be trying to ensure their customers have a good experience, and a majority of these botnets's victims will be people with Windows PC's. Ergo, it makes sense for Microsoft to do what it can to give their customers a better experience.
That's definitely it.

It looks like someone has republished it as a stand-alone story on Kindle [1]. That says 19 pages, which seems longer than the story I remember. I wonder if it was expanded from the original short story in Asimov's?

It's also in this anthology of science fiction humor stories [2].

> In a Bitcoin world, the main ledger would act as a final settlement layer

Keeping the "main ledger" functional requires miners to have reliable communications with each other; I believe Lightning nodes need an up-to-date view of the ledger as well.

> All transactions would be batched and only get settled so often (once an hour, globally, for example).

There is no mechanism in Bitcoin which would provide this functionality. It's not clear that it'd even be possible without a major rework of the protocol.
Potatoes are fine without philosophizing, and so are vegetables.

>but China has no motivation to lie

You do not know much about China, do you?

President Xi's job (and possible life) is on the line if he fails. The CCP MUST be seen as perfect and Uncle Xi will ensure it is perfect by lying to anyone and everyone.
It doesn't affect student athletes all that much. There will still be a draft, as always.
A patent must include enough information for the patent to be useful to a person of ordinary skill in the art, so applicants usually err on the side of including too much background information. It is always the claims at the end of the patent that describe the scope of the invention. Those claims are often only on a small part of what is disclosed.
> Three of the major private lab companies indicate they'll be at a 10,000 combined per day test capacity before the week is out.

So you think we should celebrate that after a month to get ready, we'll have finally caught up with a country 1/7 our size in testing capacity?

>If you're against the technology, don't waste your time opting out

I'm not saying it's worth any particular persons time to do so, but opting out does send a kind of signal. The more people opt out, the better, in addition to the steps you mentioned.
No they didn't. This literally makes no sense. Do you understand how big China is? Do you understand how many people there are? Are you seriously telling me every person in China was "locked down"? How does that make any sense? Wuhan was "locked down" and one of my good friends who lives in Cali but whose parents are in Wuhan told me they live just outside the city and could leave their house easily and at will. So if they weren't locked down, are you telling me all the many hundreds of smaller cities and towns were "locked down" too??

Only someone who had never visited China and seen the scale of the place woukd say such a thing. It's like saying I locked down all the termite colonies in Australia.
I like the idea of having a different tier for people who are more tech savvy/patient. We currently allow users to provide feedback on alerts (thumbs up/down) which we use to make the models more accurate over time but training from scratch would require a lot more input from users...
So socially responsible.

This hurts a lot for some of us. I am a Creighton fan and this was our first big year in a long time, maybe our best of all time.

Sports fans get accused of forgetting "it is all a game" sometimes. It is certainly more than a game when you think of how much some people's lives depend on the money from these events, but limiting the impact of this virus is certainly not "soft".
I was using the Planet Venus as a historical precedent of what happens to a planet in our solar system in the conditions of a runaway greenhouse gas effect when I wrote that.

Fair enough. But half the people is a substantial number. What bugs me is how short lived the 'up' was. You'd expect more from such a massive injection. All it seems to have done was prop up the market long enough for some laggards to exit their positions as well and then it was back where it all started. Very scary.
We can start by not having a president that continues to peddle disinformation in a time of national crisis. I don't remember any other president in my lifetime being this factually incorrect this many times. Also as a matter of fact both sides are not at the same level in terms of corruption (number of criminal indictments and convictions) in modern white house administrations.
Taiwan and Singapore appear to be containing it thus far.

China, too, if you can trust their numbers, and South Korea's look positive after a big starting spike. Each of these countries took early (except for China, but they shut down Wuhan with fewer cases than the US has now), aggressive steps that should be considered a model for others.
This is in fact an excellent demonstration of how utterly meaningless commute transit mode share of a city is as a proxy for the quality of a transit system.

Power comes with responsibility that the powerless do not necessarily assume.
hate it for the folks and families directly impacted but it is the safe decision. it does make you think about how much of this is temporary and how much results in sustained, macro level changes.

let's say many countries, companies and individuals "get used" to how we will need to live over the next weeks/months. what things that we used to take as "norms" may change, permanently, and what would the second and third order effects be?

for example, let's say travel-centric entertainment (sports, concerts etc) became more of an online experience than it already is, and WFH becomes more prevalent. now many folks with "discretionary income and time" theoretically have "extra" time and/or money. where would it go?

would we invest some of it into people and companies that are seeking to improve things for the people that don't have discretionary income/time? would we invest some of it in healthcare, biotech, etc. designed to try to prevent future similar events? or would a variant of parkinson's law just swallow it?
You make a great point. Now how do we fix it?

To your 15% chance of disaster example from your other comment: I think what you need is a population where a large fraction of people understand where those 15% come from.

Edit: I also want to point out that I didn't find your examples that convincing. Bloodletting was a seriously long time ago, and is unlikely to affect anyone today. Iraq was a purely political issue, and didn't have a scientific angle.
Yes..the Y2K was very real and was (moderately) well handled.

The potential for large disruptions in financial, real-time and other systems would have occurred if not for the effort applied.

Unfortunately some problems require a certain level of media-awareness and/or hysteria before we devote the necessary resources to fix the problem before it become a crisis

"I wonder how many times my resume was discarded because they needed someone with more than "intermediate" level experience with C++?"

Don't be afraid to write "expert" with an ∗ with an explanation. You pass the initial screen and anyone hiring an "expert C++ programmer" who won't understand that caveat you gave just there is probably someone you don't want to work for anyhow....
It's also a good way to put totalitarianism on display out in the open, rather than letting it lurk quietly. It's amazing how nobody wants to make eye contact with you as you're being groped and fondled.
While I do think that this is a very real problem that should be addressed somehow, I think Tim Berners-Lee should stop making useless statements to capitalize on being "the inventor of the Internet". It just feels more and more like a celebrity chiming in an issue to get public appraisal and I think it just adds noise for the people actually working on the problem.
Again. Maybe climate has an "impact" but the size of the numbers makes no sense. Greece isn't exactly a cold place right now, it's massively smaller than India and yet has 30% more coronavirus cases.

India: 1.3B population and right next to China. Greece 10M population and no close land links to China.

These numbers don't pass the common sense test.
I wouldn't hesitate to place "Expert" on your resume if you feel you are exceedingly competent in many, but not all, areas.

No one should be expected to have rote memorization of all language, compiler and platform features. That is just a ridiculous standard (and I know many organizations interview against it regardless). But, if you are a true master of your craft, it should only take you a day or 2 to ramp up on one of the more esoteric areas of your skillset. A master can quickly swap hats, assuming they are all more-or-less the same brand. This is a point I would try to drive home during an interview if you feel the perception is slipping. "I haven't dabbled in [XYZ framework feature] lately, but I could probably pick it back up in a few days." If I were running the interview, that's all I'd need to hear to put my mind at ease.
Fair enough! I think that the mechanisms (called movements) are really cool too. I also like not having to change a battery.

And I like the style I got for more money.

Regardless, I like having a mechanical watch rather than yet another piece of electronics. I see it as a positive rather than a negative.
I feel like dynamically-dispatched open recursion gives you a level of flexibility that you can't get in, say, Pascal — you need first-class function pointers if you don't have virtual functions.

BTW, I finally responded to your comment from the other day; sorry about the delay!
Specifically, the only confirmed correlations to any class of products were to THC cartridges using tocopheryl acetate (colloquially, Vitamin E acetate) as a diluant/cutting agent. That should never have happened in legitimate THC products, but it was pretty much guaranteed to happen with street and counterfeit carts. A similar sort of thing can happen with nicotine e-liquids if they're made with oil/lipid-based flavourings - stuff that people who don't know what they're doing might pick up from grocery, craft and health food stores. (Flavourings sold for vaping are water-soluble. That's not to say that all of them are as safe as they could be, particularly as it concerns saccharides, which can produce carcinogenic compounds when overheated/burned.) There have been a small handful of cases worldwide of idiopathic reactions to whatever was being vaped by the user; that's pretty much par for the course with anything that isn't pure air or water going into a human - somebody, somewhere is going to going to be hurt by something literally everybody else's body ignores.
The full text has not yet been published on congress.gov to verify who is paying and I can't find the full text elsewhere.

However, the press release from Murray and DeLauro makes it sound like businesses are paying:

If you have a primary source that shows that government, not businesses, are paying for the costs of sick leave as it relates to S.3415 and HR.6150, please share it.

I also can't find a single search result that includes the term abortion as it relates to either S.3415 or HR.6150.
Good: if the courts don't identify the decoding bible chapter, you get plausible deniability of "I didn't communicate a message for Illegal Activity X, I was just sharing some abstract ideas on theology with a friend".

Bad: Courts might begin issuing surveillance warrants (or worse) to TLAs based on the most innocuous personal communications, because "we're pretty sure that happy birthday e-card contains an encrypted message".

In either case, I completely agree if the message is deciphered by authorities, they've got you dead to rights, whether it's done by PGP, GPT bible verses, or yellow socks on Tuesday.

EDIT: I was commenting primarily on the GPT technique, but now having read the Memespeech page, totally agreed that it wouldn't even slightly stand up to scrutiny in court, as one needs no prior knowledge to decode the message and demonstrate that there is no other legitimate explanation for the communication.

Even if the vape juices were manufactured with only ACS grade chemicals free of impurities there isn't much meaningful data on the health impact of 'vaping' said chemicals.
Vaping data won't be meaningful until there's a standardized vaping device made of non-reactive components (stainless steel, glass, PTFE, etc.) to use in clinical trials.

Call your embassy/consulate. If your health is not seriously threatened then just stay where you are, but as you are discovering the US is not well configured to handle a public health crisis like this and there's probably nothing else you can usefully do.
Don't confuse disagreement on the severity of its consequences with disbelief in the phenomenon itself. For the coronavirus, it's an infection with a mortality rate ~20x higher[1] than the flu concentrated among people older than working age. If we want to reduce as much loss of life as possible then yeah we should shut down the country. But it doesn't present a threat to the long term success of society (heck, a cynic might even point out that retirees dying in greater numbers will make social security more affordable), and so many do conclude that decisive action is unwarranted.

1. The most in-depth writeup I've found reports a fatality rate of ~5x higher after more widespread testing: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/03/12/how-dead...
Great majority of cases are asymptomatic, great majority of symptomatic cases are very mild possibly indistinguishable from common cold so people may be inclined to ignore it. So, it's not safe to have any gatherings of this scale since inevitably many people will be infected.
