I'm not sure what "literally oils" means in a chemical sense, but all of the essential oils I've ever interacted with are hydrophobic and form a distinct layer on top of water. I'm not sure but that might be definitional to what an essential oil is.

I've actually steam-distilled essential oils before: essentially you push a bunch of steam through plant material and condense it into a funnel that drains from the bottom, so water can flow out and be discarded while the oil remains in the funnel. (It's a pretty fun process IMO, and about as safe as boiling a pot of water).

I don't think the human body can process most essential oils for caloric energy: molecularly they look much more like drugs - no long carbon chains.

> to not blanket demonize those who are unvaccinated.

Well, I'm currently in quarantine from my 4 month old and wife because an acquaintance refused to get vaccinated. "young people don't die from COVID" type mentality.

I attended my brother's bachelor party - of which we all thought everyone was vaccinated. Turns out this person, not only refused to get vaccinated - but had COVID exposure and still decided to attend. He told us the day after being in close contact for 3 days, that he tested positive and had symptoms during our contact with him.

Of the unvaccinated people I know, this mentality is the large majority of them. They refuse to get vaccinated because they refuse to consider how their actions might actually impact someone else.
Not completely, but maybe enough to lower the insane fees?

For instance, why not charge for the services used and a low payment processing fee? If developers bring associated costs, they should pay for it. It just seems 30% is overshooting quite a bit. They want to treat developers like regular customers with regular margins, when they are more like partners bringing them nearly free revenue.

I guess I'm too ignorant to understand how building, maintaining and securing the App Store is 10x more expensive than doing the same for something like Mastercard.
> Clearly he is intelligent and perceptive enough to understand the consequences.

Yes. The consequences are hopefully getting re-elected as a moderate at a time when right-wing populism and nationalistic rhetoric is popular. The next French election is next year.

If this is what it takes to keep Le Pen out then consider ourselves fortunate.
No, not at all -- it sounded like you were saying the developers and users of such things were being naive, but maybe I'm mistaken. To give an example of what I was saying, if I was contributing to Postgres, it would be because I want to help make a good database and fix bugs. I wouldn't do it because I had a chip on my shoulder about Oracle, even if I did have that (I don't). But that's just me. OTOH I believe Oracle even offers some level of support for Postgres.
This is great news, but a $1/gallon carbon capture tax would be even better.
Maybe I'm not the typical user, but to me reddit seems to be losing sight of why people use the site. They're killing aspects of the community that people actually care about. In the meantime, most of the site's new features seem to be centered around avatars and selling cosmetic microtransactions.

I can't blame them too much for trying to monetize, but I wish their strategies were more inclusive of the way I use reddit
I feel for the author but really the takeaway here is not to necessarily stop playing ranked games, but to stop playing games if you no longer find them fun.

Games are meant to be entertainment, if you're not entertained then why play?
Also as seen in construction - coping with or preventing ground liquefaction under the vibration of an earthquake is a major consideration in foundation design. San Francisco's SoMa district is particularly prone to the phenomenon given its high water table and sandy soil, and so all construction there needs to include analysis of liquefaction risks in its regulatory filings.

Liquefaction under the normal pressure of a building's weight can also be a problem, and may have contributed to the notorious sinking of the (also in SoMa) Millennium Tower.
Actually no one is saying it's aliens here.

But I think that people bringing up what you say is an interesting phenomenon. People conflating this with aliens and saying (as if reflexively / reacting to themselves / their own denial / compulsively expressing their own denial ) saying "Oh god here we go again. This doesn't mean it's aliens." when there were no aliens in the title or article mentioned.

It's like they are commenting / expressing out part of a conversation that is going on in their heads and yet cluelessly assuming that's going to be really relevant to anyone else, and funny thing is they have this reaction and say it out, as if they are imagining someone is saying it's aliens, all while calling other people crackpot or nuts, but the true crackpot is the one who is talking about this conversation that is happening in their head as if it's really happening, and throwing that comment into the thread as if something in the thread prompted it (when there was nothing there) when it was their own imagination the whole time.

maybe that's why these people (the highly or even delusionally imaginative, there's a big difference between the two) are so sensitive to and derisive of this stuff, because they know of themselves, that these very incorrect imaginings are the afflictions that have plagued them). it's kind of sad to see, especially how they are crazy but they come here calling others crazy, it's sad, it hurts people and their own karma, and it's sad to see them so crazy and not realize it ;p ;) x ;pp xxx

Perhaps, but this assumes that this information is available and accessible.

No, I sold my company in 2019 and exited last summer. It took up far too much time to pull off anything like this. The new venture is purely in fundraising and research mode until I stop this little experiment.

In addition to the other replies, I've see cases where the city only approves construction on the condition that some of the land is allocated to city use. That means if the edges are developed first, it's possible for the city to get the room to expand infrastructure.
Why is it that so many people seem to be biased against evidence that our immune systems do a pretty good job? It's as if they want the vaccine to be the only thing that helps stop COVID.
> NYC summers are a special kind of hell beyond the heat and humidity

That is absolutely wild to me. I also lived in NYC for 10 years, the summers there are magical. The city comes alive in such a unique way, people are outside relaxing in the parks, having backyard and rooftop parties, heading out to the beach on the weekends. There are a bunch of great weekend trips to be had a few hours away by train in Long Island or Connecticut or upstate NY. You can join an after work rec league with friends. There's concerts in the park once or twice a week, and free movie showings on the waterfront. The bars and restaurants are more lively.

One of the best parts of NYC in general is just how much there is to do if you like getting out and being social, and in the summer it's just turned up to the max.

Most apartments don't come with AC, but as long as you can afford $300 for a good floor unit to put in front of the window you can keep your home temperature very comfortable.

This went in the opposite direction to what I expected, but I think I agree with it. I expected it to be about getting feedback early and often from real users, but it was about trusting your own feelings about a project. Both are valid approaches and better than fretting about the imagined reactions of people you aren't getting direct feedback from.
> I'm not an American so I don't know anything about your system. But perhaps the existence of many state level regulations crowds out the city and state level regulations and therefore you get less uncooperativity and more straightforwardness?

It's less that it's any more straightforward in NY or CA, it's just that zoning and NIMBYism regulation is not the sole domain of either American political party. You can't escape it by moving to a red state.

The usual canard is something like "California won't build more dense housing, so I'm moving to Texas," but housing is even less dense in Texas, so lower costs are not caused by less regulation around housing density! It's just that the ratio of supply to demand isn't as out of whack yet, as metro area populations have been lower and the cities themselves less landlocked, so building out has been easier and cheaper.

Awesome! I think my plug was a little forward for hump day on HN lol. Love the podcast.
I anticipate that in the Epic lawsuit, the judge will definitely rule against the anti-steering policies of Apple though she'll probably not touch the app store, margins and payment processing pieces. There are many many Apps where buying content in iOS apps is pricier than buying on the web on the same publisher. This definitely raises consumer prices and causes consumer harm which is the key criteria of American anti-trust practice. This would be very very unlikely to be overturned on Appeal especially if the judge is careful to limit her ruling to just this and will result in numerous class action lawsuits.

The one I personally experience is sheet music where I'm very careful to never buy in-app which are always priced 20-25% higher.
I don't have any regular emails from them so I don't have any data to work with.

Yes. I'm happy with inefficient use of our water supplies as well as our housing supply.

Rates might have little to do with whether refinancing from 30-year to 15-year makes sense. The most important factor is how long you plan on living in the house compared to the difference in interest paid between the two amortization schedules during that time. The longer you stay in the house, the larger the difference to where paying refinancing fees is virtually free.
Not reading the entire search warrant, in a situation like this especially, seems bad faith.
In addition to more oil being spilled, rail lines transit through populated places while pipelines are routed away from them.

There's a rail line running right through the central business district of my town, and it's the primary route between Alberta and the Pacific ocean. I sure wish all that oil was travelling through a pipeline instead of my town.

This study backs up the claim that people who had it don't need to get vaccinated. If it gets widely reported, that probably means fewer people will get vaccinated.

So let me ask you this, what's the worst case scenario if they're right but had waited 6 months to get it reviewed? Then consider, what's the worst case scenario if they're wrong?
Have you tried Miro? It's $8/month if you want to invite others to edit your board. I find it offers good value at that price point. I'm a UX/product manager though, so I tend to pull in a lot of external visuals while I'm working. So YMMV.
Because the user decided to buy into a closed platform. He could have chosen an open Android platform.

My parents chose iOS over Android for the security, ease of use, unification AND the App Store.

I’d say stop forcing your agenda on the users. They have the right to choose what they want. They voted with their money and do it each year.

It actually turned out even cooler than I expected. A lot of things emit ultrasound that I didn't realise, like jingling keys, walking on dry grass, and all kinds of things in urban environments. And of course bats sound really neat also!
> holograms look distinctly added in, because while they light up themselves, their light doesn't reflect from anything around them

This is true in general but not really fair feedback for The Expanse specifically as shown in the article. I was pleasantly surprised by how their holographic devices actually illuminate their hands, you can see that in a few of the screenshots. The prop has built-in lighting that merges nicely with the projected UI.
> But I now live in Florida. It's about the 182nd day in a row where it's been 70-80F.

What part of Florida? It generally starts hitting 90 in May most of the state and stays there into November.

I've lived in NYC and yes, January-March can be tough and a few weeks in September are awful but Florida is just oppressively hot for six+ months of the year. The worst part is it doesn't cool down at night so you don't even get early morning or late night comfortable outside time
DeSantis has definitely made things worse by playing chicken with the cruise lines over vaccines.
> But I now live in Florida. It's about the 182nd day in a row where it's been 70-80F. Sure it's humid and that may sound weird after the comment about NYC summers but NYC summers are a special kind of hell beyond the heat and humidity. Here there's usually a breeze. I've been here 6 months and I don't even use the AC.

You're comparing FL winters to NYC summers? I'm not sure exactly where you are in FL, but... in most of the state, it gets as hot or hotter than NYC in the summer!
Thats's easy, the argument is the government has no right to do it.

Justifying that with random stats is a sideshow.
I'm talking about those who have recovered when I say natural immunity, not all unvaccinated.

Also, presumably, this person would now be as immune as someone who's gotten the vaccine, based on this study.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The developer program has a yearly fee. Phones, even in the rare case that they are used for their full lifespan, still need to be replaced as they slowly die/become obselete - in practice every 2-5 years.

> Listing prices are almost totally meaningless. At most they're just a starting point for initial negotiations.

Not sure if you have no experience in real state at all, or just want to play devil’s advocate.

The listing price can have a huge effect. Like I described before, if the listing price is lower than the perceived value of the listing, it makes it attractive to a wider audience, because people that wouldn’t be able to afford the property at the “real” price will think they can now afford it, thus there will be a lot more offers and that gives the realtors (and seller) very good leverage. This happened to me personally, on “the first round” the seller got 40 offers, so the agent used that to pump up the price and make it look like there was a lot of interest (surely there was, but for an unrealistically low price). There were only 3 offers on the “second round”. After 3-4 rounds, the property ended up going for 20%+ over asking and the buyer had to waive all contingencies. Without the artificially low listing price, they would have probably gotten one or two offers at the most and most likely would have not been able to get the buyer to waive contingencies.

Conversely, if the listing price is too high, the property might take a long time to sell, and lowering the price signals that the seller is either in a hurry or that there’s an issue with the property, either way the seller loses a lot of negotiating power.
I must be following 50+ iOS developers on Twitter and none of them have liked this tweet. It's surreal. I feel like people are afraid of Apple's retaliation if they like this tweet.
Kelly Criterion maximizes the wealth in the long-run. It doesn’t take asymmetric utility into account. It just happens to coincide with log-utility. If there is a fixed amount of bets the Kelly criterion will be suboptimal, but as the number of bets grows the optimal strategy will asymptotically reach the Kelly criterion.
Here here. I want the office, to help me focus, and to reduce friction when communicating and solving problems.

Most of my job is not coding. My job isn't assembly line work. It is solving problems in coordination with my peers, which yields small amounts of code and configuration.

If I had straight-ahead clear as day coding to do, and I was motivated -- then, yes, being at home in my own environment in the quiet would be great. But that's not my job, nor the job of many other people.

Working from home is not for everyone. I'm looking forward to returning.

But that’s not really nuance in any classic sense —- you’re right to point out that there were numerous problems (as expected with a novel virus) in attributing deaths with any certainty to Covid so we did the best we could. And even with the “sensationalism” and “overcounting”, excess deaths surpassed actual Covid deaths by something like 15%.

Doesn’t that actually imply that there wasn’t enough sensationalism and that our methods, while attributing some non-Covid deaths to Covid, were actually missing many more Covid deaths?

I don’t get the leap from “we misattributed some non-Covid deaths to Covid” in an environment that had even more deaths that our supposed overcount as evidence that we overreacted.
Exactly. I still have a //e on my desk and learned how to use VisiCalc because a high school friend's dad was an exec at Symbolics and we would swap back and forth between playing games and trying to figure out cool things to do with spreadsheets.

I swore I would never leave my Apple //e, at least until Borland released Turbo Prolog, and then I absolutely had to have a PC.
The head of the English department of my local community college (in the US) told me that it takes about 7 years of study for an average immigrant's English to get good enough that native speakers start wanting to have conversations with the immigrant. Some people require much less time, but for most people, learning a new language (particularly learning to speak it and not just read it) is a very large investment in time.

Some claim that learning a second language will make a person better at thinking -- or confer other broad advantages, but I am unconvinced by the evidence I have seen for those claims.

To improve him or herself and his or her society, the person would do better to spend the time he or she would have spent learning a second language learning science, history, technology and practical arts.

Switzerland wants its young people to study both French and German because it wants to remain one country and to avoid splitting into a German-speaking country and a French-speaking one. That is an example where it makes sense to advocate and to encourage bilingualism IMO. I have a lot of sympathy for the Swiss policy of encouraging bilingualism. I have much less sympathy for the general belief that bilingualism and trilingualism are good in themselves. Human lives are short; people should focus their learning on the things that most advance themselves and their societies.

I guess you could argue that all of Europe is in a milder version of the Switzerland situation: that it is necessary for European individuals to invest a lot into learning second and third language to keep Europe integrated and to prevent wars from breaking out. Maybe that is the root of the belief among Europeans that it is good to learn multiple languages.

But I can't help notice that if there were a button that when pushed, makes it so that all of Europe (or all of the world) magically becomes fluent in the same language, I would vote for pushing the button: the advantages are great (namely, freeing up time currently devoted to the learning of second and third European languages for learning more potent things) and the risks are low IMO (the main risk being the small probability that different languages really do confer on their learners significantly different cognitive strengths and weaknesses).
You can't just ignore things insufficient sewers or water. And insufficient roads isn't much better.
Now that El Salvador has made BTC legal tender, they may take issue with their citizens having their BTC randomly seized by other governments.

The ability to seize BTC is dependent on the jurisdiction of the seizing authority, and their ability to access the wallet. Money launderers will likely concentrate in locations where the local authorities look the other way. Exchanges will charge fees to payout potential seizures in jurisdictions where they can be seized.
A key limitation of the study is that it's in the USA, where some of the most concerning variants are not as widespread.

Oil is fungible and the market is global. Making it less efficient to transport oil in North America just reduces the profit margin for North Amereican oil companies.

I grew up in Naples. If you have only been there 6 months, you haven’t lived there during the summer yet.

That said, I actually love Florida’s climate. The problem with Florida for me is the lack of outdoor activities, especially in the summer except for the beach and boat.

I personally prefer the bay areas hiking, access to park, playgrounds etc, but if you prefer beach, Florida is amazing and you adjust quickly to shorts 320 days a year.
