> A close family member had parkinson's. A total of 5 coworkers developed parkinson's disease. There was speculation that some sort of common environmental factor was involved, but there was no medical (or legal) way of determining if or what it was.

For anyone who hasn't seen Dark Waters yet, I would recommend watching it, or at least reading up on the Chemical Industry's shady business practices. Let's just say we no longer use non-stick pans in our household. (This is not to say it has a connection specifically to Parkinson's).
You may try searching for the components present in certain microplastics that are harmful, e.g. (BPA) bisphenol A [0].

Microplastics that have been generated from plastics containing BPA that are then lodged into the food chain from a very low level will have serious consequences, as BPA is an endocrine disrupter, and shown to negatively affect many physiologial systems including human sperm [1].

LeetHub – Automatically sync your code b/w Leetcode and GitHub
Hey guys,

TL;DR: [LeetHub](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/leethub) is a free chrome extension that automatically pushes your code to GitHub when solving any Leetcode problem!

I just wanted to share a chrome extension I built in the past 2 days that legit could've been SOO helpful this recruiting season. As someone who's received multiple Fortune 100 SWE internship offers, having a good developer portfolio is vital for getting that interview. Recruiters actually check out your GitHub profile.

But instead of building random side-projects that may or may not help you prepare for your coding interviews, why not just practice on your algorithms & data structures, whilst at the same time improve your dev portfolio?

This is what led me to LeetHub to enable students to just focus on improving their algorithms skills & let this extension take care of improving your portfolio!

If you find it useful (or not), I'd appreciate some feedback on ProductHunt.

It has been open-sourced on [Github](https://github.com/QasimWani/LeetHub)

Chrome extension [link](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/leethub/aciombdipo...)

Would appreciate some !
Hopefully standards will coalesce over time, but right now I feel like the industry still needs to experiment to find the best interfaces to address power usage, security, and features.
FFI can work - P/Invoke with C# for example doesn't care if you're cross compiling or not, but it comes at the cost of needing a definition of the interface in your code.

Windows makes cross compiling work by shipping the libs for each of the architectures in the SDK. I think that's quite reasonable for macOS since Apple controls the SDK, but it's always seemed to be a mess on Linux.

Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft on Windows but I have tried cross compiling code on both Windows and Linux in the past and I've always found it painful on Linux.

> Retail people seeking to get into bitcoin in the middle of this bubble are getting scammed because tether is being used to artificially inflate its value.

But how? Let's say I have one BTC. You offer me 15k USD to buy it, I say no. You say, ok, what about 18k USDT (that you just printed)? I reconsider and say, yeah, ok. So you inflated the price ok, but then what?

I now have 18k USDT, but I can't spend them on blackjack and hookers. In fact, I can buy nothing with the 18k USDT except crypto!

So I have two options:

* I keep the 18k USDT. But why should I do that?

* I buy back my BTC. But then somebody else has the problem of spending the 18k USDT! Where do they eventually end up? I dont get that part.

In this list some of the reasons are problems in America and some reasons are why life is better outside of America. Some of the reasons are: escaping the rat race, unplugging from the Matrix in America, police brutality, gun crime, cost of living, American higher education debt...

I discuss the 50 reasons in my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLOr8Ff2woM

1. YOLO
2. Escape the rat race
3. To start a new life
4. Get out of your comfot zone
5. Gain knowledge of the world
6. Traveling frees your mind
7. Happier in another country
8. Another country may fit you better
9. American dream is not worth it anymore
10. To start a new business

12. Foreign women are better than American women (Lenny Kravitz song - American Woman)
13. Being around different people
14. Lower cost of living
15. Escape / Unplug from the Matrix in America
16. Stop being programmed by the American news and media
17. Better quality of life
18. Meeting cool expats

Unfortunately, this area has a very high start up cost, which limits disruption. This is the big problem when people say "just disrupt".

In addition, the aforementioned patents prevent disruption. Even long after the original patent expires.

edit for context:

In practice several plastics compounds are chemically too 'similar' to estrogen (the 'female' hormone).

The plastics with these estrogen like compounds typical either mechanically breakdown (microplastics) or leach due to chemical breakdown (e.g. caused by contact with high temperature liquids or acidic solutions).

Once absorbed it may confuse your body as a 'pseudo estrogen' hormone. This acts as an endocrine disruptor, potentially more so for Males of animal species because of their hormonal profile.

I firmly believe in the existence of SJWX and their intolerant ilk that rivals the most pious priests. They have opponents that are similarly dogmatic but that isn't an excuse for university students.

That said, while Springer does has scientific rigor, it also has a conservative touch and spin. Not from a US perspective, but certainly from a European one, although this differentiation is not valid for many topics aside from the most abstract concepts for policy.

I think any form of language sanitation to be in very bad taste. Use the words if you wish and be an example, but I won't support any of this activism.

I think it really bad to see companies supporting divine speech and I will certainly keep my distance. You are enabling book burning stupidity and working for you isn't attractive at all. I think that isn't clear to many of them.

Any individual would agree with you and herein lies the crux: who is "we"?

If "we" is not "the entire earth population" those that optimize for "happiness, health, learning, or anything else like that" lose to those, for whatever reasons or circumstances, optimize on price alone (arguably to the detriment of their happiness, health, etc).

Case in point: outsourcing: 10 devs in the west cost more than 10 devs elsewhere in the world, meaning a global market for dev skills will move elsewhere, where those devs are cheaper for a reason (quality of life, living standards, infrastructure, are not spent on, so labour is cheaper).

Of course globalists will argue that this ultimately will "level", look at incomes going up where we outsource-to for example, but I think this misses the point. We will just keep optimizing, pointing the needle so to speak to the next cheapest place, which might in the future be a country that used to be "more expensive" but now, forced to compete, lowers its standards to accomodate the market.

We're stuck in a Malthusian Trap. Thinking we can simply escape it by not playing the game is missing the point: the question we need to solve is: "how do we stop competing for resources as individuals or arbitrary groups (neighbourhoord/cities/countries/continents), and start having a real shared understanding of our habits, genetic behaviour and use of resources".
Why can't a corporation have a moral imperative that says "I will not participate in acts of cruelty"?

Because it won't be consistent about it.

Lockdowns are the heart of cruelty. Mass, evil incarceration of entire populations without any evidence they work, such that millions of people have had to go without vital life saving cancer screenings, they've been losing their jobs, there have been suicides, etc. Incredibly cruel policies. So surely every corporation is going to be totally anti-lockdown, right?

Oh, what's that? There are tradeoffs, you disagree, etc.

Well, yeah. And that's why institutions of any kind shouldn't adopt such vague, naive, poorly thought out slogans. Even defining "acts of cruelty" is hard. Look at this thread. Some leftist immediately dragged it into the standard tirade against US immigration control. Why is the cruelty there being inflicted by those who enforce the laws rather than the parents who take their children on an adventure of illegal immigration, knowing full well what the consequences may be? You can slice it both ways, depending on perspective.

That's why smart firms stay out of these debates, unless they were specifically founded to take a position on one of them. But it seems Valley tech firms are increasingly not so smart. That's OK, it'll be good to have a free competitive edge over them.
Yeah. Influenza is also a segmented virus. The RNA is composed of eight segments. The virus can produce new strains by shuffling segments between to different strains when a cell is infected by both. Influenza can mutate very quickly.

Simple single stranded viruses like Covid19 are vastly more stable. A good vaccine as long as we force everyone to take it will wipe out covid19.
And if your entertainment becomes a source of stress and high blood pressure, instead of enjoyment, it's probably wise to consider doing something else.
Do politics, and politics will do you.
Greater good is often used as a reason to grab power from individuals, whether it is by foreign nations, corporations or even other national government.

I am not talking about that. Groups exist for a reason. The biggest reason is that other groups exist. You can either be attacked by those or join them or create your own. Your group can be a political one, which in some cases may end up having their own nation state. If the group can defend a territory and its resources, sustain it, and gain respect, other groups may eventually acknowledge it. You may take these for granted but these things are not set in stone, they're fluid. Many people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Palentine think they are a nation state. Most other nation state don't acknowledge them as such... mostly because they're not powerful enough.

You can deny or devalue your own nationality but what you cannot deny is that nation states exist and they have incredible power, because they have to have at least enough power to defend and sustain themselves. They are definitely not the only organized power structures, but they are major ones. Maybe Open Society Foundation is right. Maybe all borders should be open, everything should be controlled by shared ideals with one world government and efficient open economy. They seem to think they have ways to make that work. Maybe they can. But until and unless they do that, we have to live with the ones we have, which grant the citizens certain rights and protections and subjects them to laws and regulations in exchange.

What I am talking about in my previous comment is not these things. I'm talking about the brainwashing by various forces (Open Society Foundation being one of them), which have made nationalism repulsive... by using simple brainwashing techniques. Most of these people would not be able to have a rational conversation about cost/benefits of having nation states or favoring your nation. They're triggered into an emotional response when the topic comes up.

Correction: the first non failed british intent to colonize america

A Century before Spanish civilization already was succesfully stablished there. The were already skilled on how to build empires, settlements and communicate with very different cultures and create laws for heterogenous populations, since they had to reconquer their own country after 9 centuries of constant struggle against arabs invasions.
Chill, let some Google PM have his ego boost and bonus while it lasts, before Pichai McKinseys it out.

Honestly, I don't see an outward difference between this and Hangouts (which is being shut down come December), apart from the end-to-end encryption. Moreover, the Android Messages section is for all the crap I get from nearby outlets advertising their "best deals", or scam artists targeting the vulnerable. I cannot honestly see myself or my peers switching out from Whatsapp to this, especially not when Whatsapp has become a verb in most of the old world. As I've said before, Whatsapp is trusted so much that autocratic regimes such as the KSA, Russia, UAE and Venezuela used it to discuss OPEC production limits. People in all of these countries trust Whatsapp far more than Android, in spite of them being known to be owned by Facebook, and in spite of said people being very wary of using Facebook for messaging (most Arab Spring countries for instance).
How to Learn to Code with SRS and Anki [video]
> The purpose of the signature is to create an artifact that demonstrates the signatory’s acceptance.

This sentence is correct but subtly conflates two elements, essentially contained in the respective words "signatory’s" and "acceptance":

* It proves the signatory's identity i.e. it was this person that agreed to the contract rather than some other person.

* It proves actual agreement i.e. this wasn't just a draft contract that we were still in the process of negotiating, but the final contract we had settled on.

If it came to court and the first one, identity, was in dispute then a signature is fairly unlikely to resolve that, at least on its own. But if the second point was in dispute "yeah I know I said that but it was conditional on blah blah other thing" then a signature on a contract makes that much harder to argue. The second one is very similar to what the parent comment said: the fact the signatory went through the ritual shows that they understood they were actually agreeing to precisely those conditions.
Europe’s Startup Unicorns
I don't think so. It's not really more efficient than long division, with the same number of operations for each digit of the big number. Most of the improvement for humans comes from the fact that you get to deal with smaller numbers (0-9) for a section of those operations than with the bigger range 0-19, but the computer generally doesn't find it easier to multiply by one 64-bit number than another.

In any case, integer division and modulus are implemented at the hardware level. I think tricks like this could improve the modulus operation if the processor vendors wanted to add additional dedicated instruction codes for say, divide19. For most workloads this will not be a useful thing to do. But you can't rule it out: before Bitcoin existed nobody built processors which were optimized for calculating millions of SHA-256 hashes in parallel.
This is the information we have on the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine regarding severe cases: “There were 10 severe cases of COVID-19 observed in the trial, with nine of the cases occurring in the placebo group and one in the BNT162b2 vaccinated group.”

Just as a reminder, that vaccine had more than 40k people in each group, with 170 cases of COVID-19 being observed, 162 in the placebo group, 8 in the vaccine group.

As you can see, the sample sizes get quite small, so I’m not sure how much, if anything, this tells you regarding severe cases. There could have been just as well no severe case in the treatment group, just by luck. What would that tell us?

I didn’t find any info regarding severe cases and the Moderna vaccine but I maybe I missed it. Those press releases are hard to read.

It seems to me that the procedure works only for numbers divisible by 19. If it's not divisible, the residue may change. Try 20 for example.

I have an iPad mini on which I've forgotten the password and no longer have access to the E-mail address. I didn't steal it, I was using a work address. I no longer work there nor am I on friendly terms with them anymore so access to the e-mail address is out of the question.

The ipad is now blocked. I would love to install linux on it just to get it working, but I can't find any way of unbricking it. I also don't know what to search for on Google.

Do I have any chance with it?
Survivorship bias. The bankrupt businesses never get the chance to become big and so you don't hear about them.

However I'm certain that the category "bankrupt pharma company" is littered with examples.
Most of the vaccines developed seem to work pretty much the same, by targeting the same spike protein.
And I am also far from being a microbiologist either, but I do know that the immune system is very complex, so I would not rule anything out, when messing with it.

In any case, getting the vaccination can (maybe) actually increase your risk of a severe Covid sickness, when you are exposed to real covid virus at the same time.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ijcp.13795

And I have no data for it and I can imagine it being hard to get reliable data about it, but autoimmune sickness is on the rise. I am not sure a quickly hacked together vaccine can rule that possibility out.
