Anti-depressants are approved after a few weeks of study, and people use them for years without safety concerns. People have taking 10 times the dose of regular ivermectin without harm (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12362927/). I guess we are in slightly uncharted waters with ivermectin, but there is no evidence from the people who chronically prophylax for covid that regular dosing has caused them issues.

And ivermectin is safest of the current covid treatments, so I find it hard to accept that we shouldn't use it because of safety concerns (for comparison, since 1992 the pharmocavigilance database shows less than 1 death per year from ivermectin, where Remdesivir has 500+ deaths, vaccines has over 2000 deaths with only months of usage).

I'd generally trade more little injuries sliding down a shallow wall for one big injury from a free fall.
This exists in the EU and Switzerland too, look at Klarna. They take 3% of a transaction from the merchant (depends on the country) and charge no interest fees at all for the end user. Even a financially responsible buyer might find it worth paying off later since there is no interest.
>> The M3 is now selling more cars than Mercedes or BMW do in the same price segment.

> I had to read the comment several times to figure out if it meant that somehow BMW was selling more M3s than the whole 3 Series lineup.

The whole 3 Series lineup is not in the same price segment as the M3, is it?

How could BMW sell more M3 cars than the total number of cars they sell in that price segment?
If you're willing to give me an interest-free loan then I will take it and invest it in an index. Generally speaking, discounted loans are only available from governments or friends for specific purposes like education or health when they want to invest in people. Even then you still have people taking advantage because money is fungible. It's hard to do this in a sustainable manner.
Yeah one hopes he got paid upfront.

It's weird how it seems he's making a living by being an invited speaker, with some agent who didn't investigate if the client booking him is reputable or not. Or maybe the agent and Snowden did, and had the stunt all planned. Considering Snowden likes to be well prepared (AFAIK), my assumption is the latter.
It's exactly like having a separate car battery and jumper cables. Except with a relatively small lithium-ion battery bank rather than a traditional car battery.

No, the city can just provide public land away from the city center where people are permitted to set up their own tents. Like in a fruit orchard or something.

Budgets are very constrained to the amounts permitted by sales, property, and excise taxes with many voters not really wanting to increase the first two. In my city, the city has already closed down 3/4ths of the libraries due to budget constraints.

The cost-benefit analysis of creating subsidized housing oftentimes just doesn’t pan out and there are better uses of city funds —- like on libraries.
Right, so you're saying it up to me to notice and call the credit card company?

In that case, I need to go through my statement and remember that the $70 charge was supposed to be $60, or have the receipts and check it. That isn't something I have to do here, because it all happens at the same time.

Or are you saying that the penalty for the restaurant/server is high enough that this sort of thing just doesn't really happen much?

> Well fuck them. Mentioning your partner is not political, it's conversation.

Indeed. That’s why the policy is bad: it tilts the field in favor of someone acting like this. Because now we first must counter-claim “it’s not politics to mention my husband” and win that fight, and then move on to “and you’re harassing me by weaponizing the politics policy.”

If anti-gay views weren’t legitimately held up as political views by about half the country, this wouldn’t be nearly so bad.
Thank you for these two posts. Very informative and unbiased. People here simply don’t want to know. They have become what they despise in other people that are ignorant of certain technologies. There’s absolutely nothing you can do to change their mind. They will simply be surprised one day to find that every single interaction they have with money and finance is intermediated by a Blockchain. They will then accept it. But they will have missed out on being part of the adventure to build up the infrastructure. And that’s fine.

> Since when is science advanced through censorship instead of debate?

Science is never advanced through debate; it's advanced through research. Research which gets repeated by different teams, in different places, in different circumstances, and conducted in different ways, while still producing the same results.

Random people on internet discussion boards who want to advance science via a "debate" is how misinformation is advanced.

The problem, in this instance, isn’t the banning of political speech per se - rather it is that the ban can be cruelly weaponized against regular speech you just don’t want to hear because it offends your own “political views.”

That’s going to remain true as long as anti-gay views are legitimately held by a mainstream political party here, which is very much still the case today.
It is kind of useful. I'm trained to feel dubious of anything newly invented if the underlying elements of the solution have been there for 2 decades (there must be some reason people didnt do it that way then). If this is existing practice then it sounds right.

> People in these EV conversations tend to underappreciate the magic of simply being able to pull into a gas station in “AnywhereTown” with an ICE vehicle, top up the tank in less than 15 minutes, and then drive another 500 miles or whatever.

That’s because the energy is transferred into the ICE car’s tank without changing its form and there is therefore no real theoretical limit on the refueling speed.

For EVs, energy is changing its form from electric to chemical energy and due to the heat losses during that transformation process, you cannot arbitrarily increase the refueling speed.

This conversion of energy during refueling is why I personally think that battery-electric cars are not the best solution for clean cars.

Am certain if you ask 100 beginner divers, 99 will have their own brush with death adventures!

Mine came in the form of a six foot barracuda getting a bit too close for comfort. I am sure if I hadn't played it cool. Had somehow attacked or acted aggressively to shush it away (when I was a guest in it's deep sea domain). It would have enjoyed a nice lunch of fresh human flesh.

The second was going below the hard deck at 300 feet whilst diving the continental shelf in the Caribbean. It's stunning. Floating weightlessly over the void that drops suddenly over a mile in depth. Feeling the rush of frigid current rise from the abyss. And seeing mysterious shapes as light filters down into darkness. But I too ran low on air. And had to come up fast.

I haven't been diving in decades. And would require re-certification. But I've always heard legendary tales of the Red Sea and Australia's Coral Reef. Definite bucket list items ;)

The motion reminds me of the “crab scratch,” [1] a DJing technique that uses finger tapping to move the cross fader rapidly in a similar way. I wonder if someone brought the technique over from DJing or if it’s a kind of convergent evolution.

More likely that the target depth is down near 50m, which is well into the narcosis range for surface gas mixes. Particularly for inexperienced divers it is very easy to not realize what is happening and become too stupid to save yourself.

Higher salinity may exacerbate that but not by too much.
As noted elsewhere, I've put 70,000 miles on my Model 3. After driving a 328i for 20 years, the Tesla is more fun in every way.

As for build quality, my maintenance so far is $850 for a windshield. Cuz... I drive it so fast all the time, pebbles chipped away at it until it cracked down the middle. That's it.

I can also attest that operating costs are 1/4 the BMW. Energy costs, yes, but also $0 for brake pads (I'm at 90% after 70k miles), $0 for fluids (no oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, radiator flush, ...).

While Tesla would love to have people believe that their cars are safer than other cars, they are cherry-picking data which makes a real comparison difficult.

One clear example that makes a huge difference in accident rates is the age of the driver. The average Tesla owner was 54 in 2018 vs 38 for car owners in general [1]. Teenagers are involved in 2-4 times more accidents per miles driven than drivers over the age of 30 [2], so by having a very low percentage of drivers under the age of 30 relative to other brands, you can already expect to see a significant difference in accident rates.

Further, the article you quote says that Tesla's numbers "includes any activation of active restraints (airbags/pretensioners) which is crashes over 12mph.", whereas my link [2] is for any police reported crash, which would include fender-benders and other low speed accidents.

I suspect that if you could correct for these factors, you'd find that Tesla's aren't statistically safer than other comparable cars.

Apologies for not getting to read and reply to your full post, but I wanted to quickly respond to the request for an example regarding "I need A to behave like X". I don't think the example is too contrived:

Let's say A is a REST API service. And you wish to check how your code behaves when a client receives a 5XX response. There might be reliable ways to cause A to reply with such a failure, however, if what you intend to verify is this particular behavior, then simply forcing A to reply with a 5XX through mocking will probably get you there quicker, and have it be decoupled from A's implementation (e.g. the conditions that triggered 5XX no longer apply after a version bump, etc)

Edit: I took the time to read the full post :). In broad terms, I agree with you. I think however that the approach to software testing allows a bit more nuance, and the usefulness of any approach must be determined more on a case-by-case. In very broad strokes, they follow the pros-and-cons associated with unit- and integration-tests. Are you interested in testing the behavior as end-to-end, then integration tests will get you there more reliably than any complicated setup of unit tests will ever do. Containerized services for temporary deployments is also a great way to spin up such dependencies. However, unit tests serve a different purpose, which deliberately try to be as decoupled from any dependency as possible, and as cohesive as possible. It then follows that if you zoom in to this software unit, and value it for its decoupled nature, and you wish to test how it behaves given certain conditions, mocking is a better and easier way to go about it.

I took the basic (open water?) license in Australia, and the group were sent into a pool to tread water for 20 minutes or something. Now, I can barely swim. Really poor buoyancy and bad technique I guess, so have never really learned.

If the instructor had looked away from the TV for a second he would've seen and flunked me, which would probably have been a good thing. I'm stupid. Went through with it and out on a couple of dives which I enjoyed greatly, but now ten years later still haven't dived again and won't until I can swim. Having kids does stuff to your sense of self-preservation.

> In fact, living in Poland currently, I can't remember the last time I used a physical card anywhere. For the last two years or so I've only been carrying my phone with me, no wallet at all.

Here in Denmark we recently got an official digital drivers license. You verify your identity with the government issued 2FA system, scan the NFC chip in your (non-expired) passport, and you're golden. The digital license is as valid as the physical license.

Couple this with NFC payment being a requirement anywhere that takes payment, the banks having developed a way of transferring money between accounts in different banks instantly based on just a phone number, and the digital drivers license, there's never a need to have my wallet on me. At the moment I'm not even sure where it is -- it's somewhere in the apartment.

Very good point about using cash to teach kids about money.

I just began teaching my kindergarten going son about money and some of the things he has learned watching us is very insightful. For all purposes, money for him is our phone. He has seen countless places where we pay with phone to buy things (using QR codes) and that has given him an impression that a phone can get anything from a store.

For me, in my own childhood days, money as in cash was easily understandable as a finite resource because once it’s given to someone, it cannot be taken back. So I learned just by watching that money carries a value and is limited. But just scanning a phone or card with no concept of finiteness will carry some repercussions I think in future.

Will be interesting to watch the future generation who might grow without concept of cash money.

If Apple like the idea fine then they don’t fund/pay attention to it accordingly. Safari is full of weird PWA bugs and long standing ones, too.

As for the notifications, it’s easily solved. Softest touch: don’t let a notification prompt show without there being a user interaction first. Hardest touch: only allow it for webapps that are installed to the home screen.

I have a much less charitable view: Apple doesn’t like webapps because they’re a threat to the App Store ecosystem. Not so much from a monetary perspective but an exclusivity one: if you can run all the exact same apps on all mobile platforms they lose an edge. (though I’m sure they don’t mind the money either!)

We have a BMW i3, and while there's a decent amount of CCS chargers around here in Norway, every other seems to be from a different company.

I exaggerate, but it truly is a pain to deal with, especially since they all have different prices and price structures. For

example our i3 can only handle 50kW charging, what happens when I plug it into a 150kW charger? Depends on who owns the charger, some charge per kWh delivered, some per minute. So for some it's gonna be OK, for others it's gonna cost more than filling up a gas tank.

Why not detail the analysis that led to the conclusion you present? Why do you prefer to talk about your claims of censorship and suppression than talk about the science?

One counter-argument to that is that many (I won't say most since I don't have sources) PHEVs don't get plugged in too often and are only bought for the tax advantages. An issue in some countries which give tax advantages to PHEV buyers, especially for company cars, where the driver doesn't have to pay for petrol.

Would you really going feel that much better if your ventures had “succeeded” (whatever that means). Odds are if you were rich you would wish you were richer. If you were powerful you’d wish you were more powerful.

You can learn to accept that what you’ve got is what you’ve got and that fundamentally none of it matters.

Hi HN,

Excited to share Callabl with you and would really appreciate your feedback!

Callabl helps you improve your calling efficiency by listing your contacts callability (call availability) status. This allows you to check before calling whether a contact is busy on another call in real-time across any calling app or in a self-set DND status. If a contact you want to call is busy you can subscribe to get notified when they become available or you can ‘nudge’ them to call you when they are ready.

With the chrome extension, you can set your callability from your PC and see any incoming notifications. In addition you can click to call any number on a webpage.

These are just some of the early features we have for MVP. Hoping to validate and release more features.

Thank you.
