My understanding based on an expert here in the UK is that Phages only replicate as long as there is the bacteria around that they were bred to infect and replicate in. As soon as the bacteria levels drop, phages die as there is essentially no food for them to consume. Considering the timescales to develop phages for a strain of bacteria (2 weeks), the ideal treatment is antibiotics, then phages to complete the job, because even Flemming stated when he discovered Penicillin, you need to keep taking these antibiotics until the infection is gone, but today many doctors just prescribe a course for 7-14days, and then you have to go back to get another course if they will prescribe another course, at least on the NHS its like that, and thats when you can get an appointment in my experience.
Also bacteria can go into dormancy developing biofilms in different parts of the body and creatinine wont work then. As the immune system attacks the food we eat bar some exceptions like starch as the only sugar not attacked, when we do a water only fast the number of immune cells drop as the numbers are not needed to attack the food. So the lower number of immune cells concentrate on attacking pathogens and faulty cells. Considering Lent used to be 40days of water only fasting, and there was no modern medicine back then, it seems observation and trial and error over thousands of years highlighted a suitable way to keep religious followers healthy, a necessary requirement for religions back then. Today science can explain why water only fasting works for so many illnesses. It seems Herbet Shelton was good at observing considering what we know about Vit D https://web.archive.org/web/20110222200902/http://www.soilan...

However, one of the reasons why his Hygienist methods ie water only fasting were not popular is because some undiagnosed health conditions caused sudden deaths when on a water only fast, so this is why water only fasting is not popular in the medical industry, but Socrates called water only fasting the physician from within, so even the ancient Greeks had made their own observations of what worked way back then with their limited toolset.
Your comment kind of make me sad... this is such a big issue of perspective. It's something that I often see coming from the US, but any first world country often has that issue, we forget that there's more than us in the world.

> In 2019, Internet access became available to 51 percent of the world's population. When households are taken into account, the index increases, reaching 57.8 percent.

42% of the world don't have internet. We aren't talking about not having competitive internet, literally, no internet at all.

At the bare minimum, you forgot about 42% of the world... that kind of sad.

(Not your comment's parent) Apple making touchpads bigger is why I stick to their 13" 2015 MacBook air! When I got a recent Pro for work, it was nearly unusable from the oversized, oversensitive trackpad. Yes, even after setting all the options that (I was assured) would make it stop picking up unintended presses. When typing, I'd unavoidably brush the trackpad and cause the cursor to move somewhere and click, redirecting my input.

Like your comment's parent, I used the trackpad because I prefer doing everything from the keyboard and so prefer the trackpaid for things that require a mouse-like interface.

CCP could just buy the data from databrokers including DMV data for you picture. All your data is up for sale including location data from you mobile device. Can’t stop foreign governments from getting sensitive data about US citizens unless privacy laws are enacted to prevent the sale of data.
Eliminate TikTok from the US markets completely and watch how fast Facebook and others would rush to improve it. The reason they haven't is those efforts wouldn't be guaranteed to yield market share. That could change with a ban. Also training data comes from usage, so saying they have the best AI is the same as saying they're the market leader. That could change (artificially).
If you're really wondering why different programming languages exist, the answer is simple: different use cases, and the influence of past languages. Bell Labs did the same by creating C, C++ and AWK.

For any of the languages you mentioned, it's easy to find the motivation for their creation, either by Wikipedia or on official pages Why X?. Your uninformed rant sounded a bit lazy and naive (sorry, no offense intended).

From the top of my head... Go was meant as a higher-level language than C where Python could not apply (bad performance, weak typing, no compilation, complex syntax); its wide adoption proves that kind of language was missing at the time. Dart was initially meant as an alternative to JavaScript, like CoffeScript, at a time where JS was less standard. Kotlin was not created by Google, and was meant as a light alternative to Java/JVM, with full compatibility, hence the adoption for Android which is JVM based. As far as I know, Swift and Rust aren't specifically tied to Google.
We have pitchforks and know how to use them.

What is the point of an RSS item without a link, and what do I do with it?
No, it's not, I was just talking about the article itself rather than the case studies from the past.
I share much of the sentiment. I like the simplicity of Go, but I think they took it too far an ended up with something too dumbed down and lacking in abstractions and expressive power. It feels like a step backwards coming from other contemporary and popular languages like JS/TS, Python, Kotlin, C#.

Yeah, this is the "smart grid" concept that has been touted for years. If your washing machine knows the electricity price, it can run at optimal time, stuff like that. Unfortunately the dollar savings per person per year is way too low for people to bother, rather pay 30 cents extra to have the washing finished when you want it. So stuff like gamification has been seriously researched and tested as an option to make it fly. I think the jury is still out on it as a concept.

That's a really great question—it shouldn't be possible. It makes me wonder if one of your premises isn't true.

With a partial tongue-in-cheek, I will defer to Max Planck, who said:

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth."

One can see Planck's Principle throughout human civilization, in practically every human endeavor. This is how we evolve as a species. Not just biologically, but culturally.

This seems maturely handled.
And one of the primary reasons is that the more wind and solar we install the more backup we will need and the more complex our grid becomes. This is not actually factored into the price of wind and solar which is completely misrepresenting the actual cost of wind and solar.
There is no morally correct way to write and speak, but there are ways to write and speak that are effective for a given audience. For instance an effective explanation to a five year old is much different than an effective op-ed.

The writing and grammar rules which we are taught at a young age are effective for getting good marks on school essays. It is becoming apparent that they are not necessary or effective for writing a national bestseller.

I haven't even talked about regional or national dialects. If you think there is such thing as a correct way to write, who governs that? What right do they have to impose it on people who speak a different dialect?

I think the real problem in this case is that the reader of this article has a different expectation of the standard of writing than the writer did. Is the customer always right? How can a writer ever please all readers? Should they even try to?
I'm in the same boat. I want to try something like Flutter to keep the JS madness at arm's length. Not sure if going that way will make it worse or better though.

Go is super productive. My day-to-day responsibilities include development in .NET and Go. A full day working in Go is like a having a pleasant day off. On the other hand, .NET is so cumbersome, complex and verbose (I've been using it since its inception), that I'd rather abandon it for good if possible.

To make this vulnerable to third parties not physically in control of the hardware (in which case the PCI bus could just be sniffed for the key, or have it grabbed from RAM). Pretty much the only option is side channels.

They can't change the algorithm or other NICs that don't offload the encryption/decryption wouldn't be able to successfully decrypt it. They couldn't send "extra" packets with the key somewhere else without someone very easily detecting that anomalous traffic not being generated by the system itself.

With QUIC there are almost no-unencrypted fields by design, and those have very firm well defined meanings, so to inject steganographic hidden copies of the key in the packets themselves is infeasible. Maybe you could sneak something out by changing source ports but that's risky, and liable to be detected as well.

So that leaves side channels, which is basically only a timing channel for remote attackers in this case. At the speeds and packet throughput where hardware acceleration of the crypto matters, any buffers in the first switch and/or router that packet hits will remove the precision required for any level of intentional timing attack that could be introduced without detection.

So no it almost certainly couldn't have a vulnerability like that unless the crypto algorithms themselves are broken, in that case this whole discussion is moot as it doesn't matter if its accelerated or not.

> Fixing NIC is not as easy as fixing software

This kind of thing is frequently implemented in FPGAs which can be updated with firmware. The firmware will likely be closed source, but that hasn't stopped people before from fixing firmwares without the original manufacturers knowledge or consent.

It's a lot more work but turns out the people that would be targeted by an attack fall into two categories, those who have the financial ability to pay for a security team to handle these kinds of vulnerabilities in house (or at least mitigate them) and normal people who couldn't bear the brunt of a nation state targeting them even if this one vulnerability didn't exist.

The NSA has been caught doing some seriously shady things we all know that, and no one is going to seriously argue they've stopped trying and developing new things, but it's not even close to reasonable to assume that any paper that has "crypto" present in it is a conspiracy from the NSA or any other intelligence agency.
The Onyx Boox 3 max is great for that. the main function I use (articles and books) is the split screen with notes in one side and book/article in the other. The main downside is the price (~$800). It is also bulkier than other options.
I'm not American either but I think that the reason why police doesn't hesitate to shoot someone results from the fact that they're much more often shoot at then in other countries. And it's not just that weapons are more easily available (where I live they're easily available as well). It's that the wealth differences are huge in US.
The record already reflects (now) that Apple retaliated against Epic in blocking Unreal Engine. (Granted, the court did not use the word "retaliate" because it was a TRO, not a ruling on the facts; but the implication is clear.) Besides fear of sanctions, why wouldn't they retaliate again, and now harder given that the first attempt at retaliation may be thwarted?
I'm not 100% confident I follow, but this sounds like one of those backflips Rust programmers do to satisfy the borrow checker.

As in, you wouldn't write the code this way if you didn't have to. You do get memory safety in return... but you can see where the desire for a more eloquent approach might arise.
Whatever the curation algorithm in Tiktok is, it is so much better than Youtube or Instagram. One actually feels that they are a part of a movement bigger than themselves and something that is globally trending.

Tiktok is a revolutionary social media application. They did what twitter couldn't do with vine.
Different plants have different ramps depending on where they are in their output curve, how hot they (or various parts) are, and how their operators want to run them (max ramp is generally higher than economic ramp) but, while it isn’t my business to know this stuff anymore, IIRC it is 2-5 MW/min for coal. This is ignoring the control loop.
I think you're really intended to do the latter rather than the former. I mean, Rust lets you do either–it gives you the choice if performance isn't your concern–but usually it's better to not clone everything.
There are definitely countries in Europe that locked down and yet have a higher per-capita death rate than Sweden.

Yeah but you wouldn't be happy that your incubator or AC didn't work when it needed to. You wouldn't be happy either if factories can't produce enough food because they would have to wait for wind or sun.
It would be nice if we could standardize on some physical feature size that we would then call everything equally. It's silly to have a measurement system which is calibrated differently for what should be apples-to-apples comparisons. Imagine if some car manufacturers listed the length of their car from the rear bumper to the steering wheel and other measured their lengths from the rear bumper to the front bumper.

I think the poster meant how you create a TikTok not to follow your friends, but to follow creators.

Following creators is something that emerged out of Instagram organically. You first logged in because you wanted to see what your friends were up to.

In contrast, following friends was likely not your original reason for joining TikTok - it was to find interesting content.

An ad from a "creator" in your Instagram feed might evoke stronger resistance than in your TikTok feed.
The core problem seems to be that police abuses are not being properly punished.

Whenever I tried to look into such incidence I see that prosecution gets stopped (or didn't even start) at a local level and the whole process stinks of conflict of interest. Asking local police and prosecutors to investigate misconduct just seems like a bad idea.

My solution would be to automatically throw every violent police incident to a special-purpose federal body which is not otherwise involved in enforcing laws. This would be filled with prosecutors focused on civil rights and those people would hopefully be highly motivated to prove their case in court.

The only problem I see is that this it ignores states rights but those are not particularly popular anyway.
You need an rx for many things that would be fine otc for paternalistic reasons, that have no “abuse” potential. My post was about rx requirements not prohibition of recreational drugs.
If you’re looking at the excess deaths after Maria then you need to do the same thing for 9/11. By one estimate 221 policemen died as a result of medical issues from 9/11 which don’t make the official figures based on initial deaths. Dust inhalation etc very much killed people only indirectly involved on 9/11. Thus, any kind of apples to apples comparison of either direct or direct + indirect deaths put 9/11 as a significantly more deadly event.

PS: Also that extrapolation on death rates for Maria is extremely questionable as it’s been rising in Porto Rico for years. The increase from 2013 to 2014 is larger than the increase for 2016 to either 2017 or 2018. https://www.statista.com/statistics/580903/death-rate-in-pue... You can assume the only thing bad that happened was a hurricane, but the data really doesn’t support that.

No need to convince. If you've got something working nicely why would e.g. I spend my energy to convince you otherwise.
Yup, there is a lot of interesting perspective you get from reading journals and correspondence from the period. Sources from the late 1800s will include bits from the lives of every day people, almost always along the lines of: John opens a store, panic occurs, his business fails and he moves to a different town; becomes a partner in a canal shipping company, panic occurs, his business fails and he moves to a different town; etc.
I think this can be better explained by starting with the company (instead of the device) which is lean but still requires development and maintenance, purchasing and manufacturing, billing and accounting, customer support, management, shipment and logistics. Those tasks need to be paid.
I don't disagree with the thrust of your comment, but:

>customers buy electricity when they need it, not when it’s cheap. //

It doesn't have to be like this. You can let customers buy according to price, distributors don't seem to want to; presumably because that democratises the cost savings.

Octopus, a UK energy company, I think offers a customer direct grid pricing policy to some customers.

I'm happy to run dishwasher, washing machine at night. Do hoovering (vacuum cleaning) on sunny days, etc.. Wait half an hour to bake a cake if a storm is passing. But these things mean paying less to the electricity company.

I can see fridges that use a cold-storage scheme. And would definitely get a hot water tank if I could be paid to heat it.
Ask HN: Is any ultrasonic aortic valve decalcification available to the public?
Hello YC community. One of my close relatives has been diagnosed with
calcific aortic valve stenosis recently.
So, I'm looking for a non-invasive therapy to treat Calcific Aortic Stenosis
(aortic valve decalcification).

What I found so far is focused ultrasound treatment for heart valve calcifications by Cardiowave,
but their treatment is not available for the public yet. They did trials in France and
The Netherlands.

Does anyone know similar treatment/ company/ organization / clinic who can be of any help?
It's better than any e-ink device for sure and it's competitive with the iPad Pro. I think the latter now has somewhere around 15-20ms of lag? So it's close.

But honestly they're different devices. Similar in many ways of course but different too. I don't think it's really apples to apples.
I used a hand-held label printer to make labels for mine. It's only on the one I have labeled as my "backup" so it doesn't get beat up too much though.
> However I'm curious: do you apply this same criteria when trying software like Notion, Figma, or Google Docs?

Above you mentioned your preference for keeping data local to the device. That is one of the big motivators for even downloading the app. I don't use Notion or Figma, and prefer Pages or Numbers to Google Docs when possible, so yes I do apply the same criteria.

Even though I avoid it when possible, I can at least understand why a tool like Google Docs which is cloud first or collaborative by nature requires an account. Why a local-first app requires an email is a complete mystery to me. What's the benefit to me as a user? If you don't make that case, I assume it's for marketing and pass on it.

The people and the governments who took those decisions will be long gone in few hundred years, the waste will still be here , leaking into the soil and water table.

I was not arguing for coal in any way I am merely pointing saying Nuclear is not as clean as pro nuclear people argue.

Yes the NORM released by Coal and other human activities is substantial, However it is not remotely comparable to Fukishma, Chernobyl and bikini atoll . I don't trust any of the world governments to build a safe reactor and I don't share your optimism on that we will find ways to handle the waste. Instead of trusting luck that we will find clean ways to handle, we can start building plants when we do find them, .

It is recency bias to think we will be able to keep technologically innovating at the same pace we have in the last few decades or even few hundred years, most of our history innovation has happened rapidly only under certain conditions, it may be that those conditions will continue to favour, or maybe physical limits such as moore's law slowing down, resource limits stuck on single planet economically or socio political structural problems can slow down innovation substantially, Any of them could be a great filter in the Fermi Paradox sense.
