IME, many doctors, and even some consultants, use fibromyalgia as a catch-all where there is chronic pain and fatigue, but they can't find the underlying cause - basically a big umbrella to cover what are likely a broad spectrum of diseases and health issues.

I suffer from chronic pain and fatigue, and was previously diagnosed with fibromyalgia by both a rheumatologist and a neurologist, despite not even meeting the diagnostic criteria, and having an unrelated auto-immune health issue. Later on, via a skin biopsy I insisted on, it was discovered that I had small fibre neuropathy - damage to the small nerves responsible for pain signalling.

You didn't say anything about your specific symptoms, but if you have chronic limb pain, it might be worth looking at getting a biopsy.
I heard it spoken when I was in Singapore. It was pretty fun, but I'm glad it isn't given equal status, and that we didn't have to learn any in school.

I'm not a statistician (so I can't definitively say how you establish cause vs. correlation) but since you can a child's parents' economic status has a significant impact on the child's academic performance [0], I'm going to say that education inequality is a consequence of wealth inequality

I just convert all my pdf's to epub. It's a pain, but worthwhile long term. Calibre does a good job, but you need to know some regex to clean up the view and avoid stuff like repetitive title and page number.
He is later quoted as saying that the symptoms are highly suggestive of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This indicates that Fauci believes that many of the claims are valid, and is suggesting a potentially fruitful area of investigation.

You can add to that the many scientific publications cited about what fraction of people seem to encounter these symptoms and what symptoms they are. While I agree that self-diagnosis by hypochondriacs will lead to a lot of anecdotes not based in reality, there is also plenty of evidence that there is a real issue here as well.
This is a bit late for that, unfortunately.
It should have been done about ten years ago...
Yeah but nothing stops states from raising their own taxes.
This ludicrous hyperbole is ridiculous.

The only things the hearing will look at are

"The judge must be satisfied that the conduct amounts to an extradition offence (dual criminality), none of the bars to extradition apply, where applicable, there is prima facie evidence of guilt (in accusation cases), and whether extradition would breach the person’s human rights."

You not knowing nor liking the law doesn't change it.

Almost no-one in the thread understands what an extradition hearing is. (How do I know? Look at all the people saying the judge makes the decision.)
>My gas car stinks, destroys the planet, needs yearly maintenance, crashes in everything the second I stop paying attention.

That's not a good example, nor is it parallel to the dynamic the article describes.

Your car stinks a lot less than cars did 10/30/50 years ago (emits less in the way of pollutants or CO2 per mile driven), is less likely to kill you in a crash involving the same size cars/velocities (despite weighing less!), needs less maintenance, lasts longer, and can notify you of potential collisions and sometimes avoid them.

It's probably only worse in terms of education needed to perform maintenance or nominal sticker price.

"Everyone lost money, and the poor were least able to handle it"--which is your statement--is qualitatively different from, "only the poor lost money"--which is the articles statement.

Sure, the poor are in worse shape both relative both to their previous selves and the rich under both of those statements, but the the latter situation is far worse.
Just judging the symptoms looks to my like one of those classical "cobbled together" pieces of software, where they only wrote the glue code and once it was OK shipped it.

If you don't wish to pay for a burr grinder (which is fair--mine was a cool $140 when I bought it, but it's paid for itself), you can carefully manage the use of a blade grinder to get a better grind size. See the below videos:

Wikipedia is a great source for non political information such as chemistry or computer science facts but at the point material intersects with politics in any tangential way it is strongly biased source of information.

Not really. I'm a black person in the US. Historically, the people "threatening" our freedom have always been in the US. It's never been the Soviets, never been the VietCong, never been the Sandinistas, never been Al-Qaeda or anyone the US has chosen to go to war with. As Jay-Z said:

My thoughts were the same, but nothing I've seen (yet) would suggest that. Though deaths by dementia seem to be up far above the 5 year average (especially in the Southern US).

Total mortality up to Aug 15 is up at least 580k over the 5 year average from what I'm seeing right now, fwiw. Probably will post it here on HN once I've got everything tied together.

To use one of the cited programs, the US school system, as an example: per-pupil inflation-adjusted spending on schools is the highest it's ever been, and has been continuously increasing: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d19/tables/dt19_236.55.a...

Really neat. That's some really great work there.

Maybe an off-topic comment, but as an older developer I'm increasingly feeling left-behind by newer advances, especially AI/ML. I remember the feeling of being a student and junior dev and feeling that a lot of code and frameworks and such was "magic." When I got more experience/education it stopped being magic and started being brilliant. I'm almost back to where everything new and cool is "magic" again.
I think it's a matter of what stage you're at, career-wise.

The longer you're in the game, the more "out there" something has to be to make an impression on you.

I'd guess that most people in the first couple years of programming experience (including university, for the people who come from that route), have not observed strong programmers in action, but they've been in it long enough that they can probably identify one for what they are.

I feel like role models are a critical ingredient in inspiring people to be better than they are, and the opportunity to watch role models of a certain caliber in action is rare outside of the few places where skilled programmers gather and work together.

It's with that perspective that I made my comment. It sounds like you might have a relatively high bar for programmer quality, which is great. :)

Also fwiw, I prefer reading most of the time too, although screensharing scratches a more "visceral" itch: you get a sense of what the person is thinking in the moment, which is unrefined in some ways but enlightening in others.
This is true and a shame. People from the upper class are genuinely blind to this phenomenon (this doesn't excuse them).
You'd now be building more robust software, except 100 times slower.

We stopped buying single use plastic products. Here's what happened
Plastic is really bad for the environment. It takes 500 to 1000 years to degrade[1]. It affects marine life and litters our streets. Only around 10% of plastic is being recycled every year in the US. We are in Chicago. Everywhere we look, there's a piece of plastic stuck somewhere. We started an experiment to go plastic free grocery shopping for 1 month. These are our findings.

Assuming that Goyal is on the spectrum is the charitable thing to do. It allows one to excuse his brusqueness and defensiveness as simply something he was born with. That is the conclusion I gradually made over years of watching Calibre development and a conference appearance of his on YouTube. Many of his critics probably just think that he is a jerk and egomaniac who refuses to see things from others’ perspectives.
I think it is just implied that anyone trying to start a seed funding organization has money, because it is very hard to provide funding with no money. And yet despite many trying to replicate YC, probably often with more money at the start, nobody has come close.

I don’t think the argument was that it was just Paul and Jessica, just that they are the limiting factors.
Along the same lines, in business school, people would talk about the importance of saving up “fuck you” money in your first few years of work - so that when you’re asked to do something unethical at work, you have enough money that you can say “fuck you” and walk way.

Of course, I’d argue that we shouldn’t give ourselves the excuse that “I don’t have the money to do the right thing” - but the concept that sometimes fighting an ethical battle requires financial “ammunition” is an interesting one.
>Is this benefitting the businesses using the Facebook Events platform, or is it benefitting Facebook itself?

Probably both. Businesses will get 100% of the money, and Facebook may get some more users.

EDIT: Just to clarify, FB doesn't take a cut of the money earned, so the Apple 30% was coming out of money that would have gone to the businesses.

The article is more nuanced than the headline. If you're just reading headlines, though (because you're skimming a news aggregator, say), then you get the idea that people think she can't be a Supreme Court justice because she's Catholic. Down in the article, you find that people think that she can't be a Supreme Court justice because they think it's problematic the kind of Catholic that she is. (Or at least because of the political implications of the kind of Catholic she is.)

That's coming from people in office, not just from random crazies on Twitter.
This is a very important point. Having the flexibility that wealth allows can unlock many creative and ambitious opportunities.

I've had a lot of friends talk about ambitious company ideas, giving Tesla/SpaceX as examples. What they're missing is that what made those companies great/ambitious at the time is also what made them very risky. Having buy in from a billionaire (Elon Musk) isn't the only thing that made those ideas succeed, but it certainly helped.
You see democrats allowing businesses to reopen as caving to corporate interests, but I see it to differently. I see them as caving to the people that don't think COVID is a serious threat and want to get back to work. They accuse democrats of deliberately sabotaging the economy in order to seize power.

I can't find the link right now, but I recall reading from a credible source that melatonin works two ways (from memory so may not be completely accurate):

* Adjusting diurnal rhythm (e.g. adjust a skewed sleeping schedule, jet lag). This works in lower doses over longer periods of time. So if you want to be less of a night owl, you may take 0.1-0.3 mg in the afternoon.

* Hypnotic - immediately making you more prone to fall asleep. This one is less well understood and dosages vary per person but it seems like 0.3-3 mg shortly before bed time is optimal. It also won't work on it's own like stilnoct or whatnot, so limiting light exposure, and all the other usuals, still apply.

I also find it frustrating how much more expensive and less available lower dosages are. From someone who also does bits and nibbles of 3mg pills.
I'm not suggesting it could trivially become an OSI-approved license. Rather, I think it's much closer in spirit than something like the Timescale or "Commons Clause" or similar licenses, that blatantly discriminate against fields of endeavor (OSD 6) by design. The SSPL, by contrast, is a copyleft license that has a much stronger copyleft than the AGPL. It may potentially be overstepping the intent of what the OSD means to allow, but it doesn't on its face violate the spirit of any of those clauses, not any more so than the AGPL does. I think it'd be possible to modify the SSPL into a version that could meet that agreement while maintaining the intent of the license.

Why bother stripping them? Any decent reader should have settings to either override individual styles or ignore the stylesheet (FBReader has both, iirc it should be available for ios as well as Android)

> I never really understand why people think the publisher is best placed to decide the style I choose to read in.

Because that's how books have _always_ worked.

My problem is more the huge number of images used in section breaks (and worse, occasionally used in chapter titles). Instead of using an image for a flourish or a section break, _please_ either find a character in your currently used font, or add a subset symbol font; using black images on a white background grabs my attention every time I change pages in dark mode, and even in light mode I can clearly see the difference in background color. Then there's the fact that a good number of them are low resolution, which, depending on reader and styling, causes them to be either pixelated, blurry, or too small to be useful in light mode.
Really trying hard to parse

OK, very wrong, but I think that's attempting to describe the elected labour mps in parliament

I assume this means people who don't read the daily express

So I think I can parse this as

Some Labour MPs, at some point, proposed a group of people should take control of the editorial policy of the BBC and newspapers.

I'm not sure what story he's talking about though.
I would totally pay a yearly subscription to support Firefox, ideally giving me access to hosted features like Firefox Send (end-to-end encrypted sending of files).

I realize that people who would do so are a minority. But maybe that would help solidify the idea that, while Chrome is for Google, Firefox is for its users.
if a request takes 100 ms, and a portion of them are murdered halfway through then either clients retry for reliability in exchange for extra latency, or reliability takes a hit.

The best policy is for a deployment to lower the health check on the service, wait a few minutes per box, then bounce the process.

This is assuming the service is 100% stateless.
Honestly I would be shocked if that's not the goal. Imagine being able to not only know someone has your product, but not advertise to them until that product disappears, is in a state of disrepair, or reaches a particular age.
> I have previously seen these baseless accusations of Wikipedia and Reddit being pro-Taiwan and pro-India.

It's not that wikipedia and reddit are pro-taiwan and pro-india, it's that pro-taiwan and pro-indian propagandists have recently flooded these sites. Also, youtube.

That's it? A few thousand?

> Anything even slightly critical of China's government gets accused of being CIA propaganda.

Give me a break.

I'm sure there are pro-china groups on social media. But there is a hell of a lot more anti-china groups. Go to most china-related thread on reddit I can guarantee you that the anti-china propagandists outnumber the pro-china propagandists 10-1. You aren't doing yourself and the anti-china propagandists any favors by playing the victim here. Especially when your claims are so obviously false.

Agree. We absolutely cannot let Google chase after Apple like this - it will crush innovation, and consolidate all services into 3 or 4 monolithic companies.

For example with Apple, it's very clearly becoming a bad idea to do anything they may also want to do.

Why would anyone in their right mind take on the risk to:

A) Buy Apple's developer licenses and tools

B) Learn Apple's Apple-Only-Languages

C) Build applications for Apple ecosystem

D) Let Apple gather information about your pricing and success

E) Pray that they do not deem you successful enough to compete with

If you're reading a ton of PDF's, try comparing Acrobat Reader with Preview -- they use entirely different font rendering. Preview is unhinted undistorted macOS rendering that preserves exact letterform positioning and widths, while Acrobat uses hinting to distort letterforms but align closer to pixels.

If you're really looking for maximum crispness you might prefer Acrobat. It makes subpixel rendering unnecessary for all perfectly vertical and horizontal strokes, since it's trying to avoid antialiasing them in the first place.
