[0] The FDA has received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses.

Here’s What You Need to Know about Ivermectin:

- FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).

- Taking large doses of this drug is dangerous and can cause serious harm.

- If you have a prescription for ivermectin for an FDA-approved use, get it from a legitimate source and take it exactly as prescribed.

- Never use medications intended for animals on yourself. - -

- Ivermectin preparations for animals are very different from those approved for humans.

Is there a reason you'd not just throw RC-like solutions on it? Ie the GC is basically going to employ a handful of techniques with overhead like RC, memory Arenas, etc - which you could also use in Rust.

So i imagine you know this, is it the syntax you're trying to avoid? Ie wrapping a lot of things in RC's is annoying?
This assumption is correct - the quanta article left out quite a bit of detail about how forcing actually works, while trying to give some hint of the philosophy behind it.

As it turns out, you can still apply the forcing technique even if you start with the whole set of all real numbers. What happens in this case is a bit surprising: since there's no legitimate way to add new real numbers that weren't there previously, the forcing procedure cheats by pretending that real numbers have nonstandardly long decimal expansions.

To make the way it cheats a bit more concrete, we start by first imagining that there are "nonstandard integers" n which are bigger than all of the "true" integers from our starting model. Once we assume that these integers exist, we have to commit ourselves to providing answers to questions like, "what is the nth digit of pi?", "what is the n+1th digit of pi?", and so on in a consistent way. By answering these questions, we embed all of the original real numbers from our starting universe into the new universe. But the point is that now that we have all of these extra digits to play with, all of the original real numbers only fill up a tiny subset of the potential "real" numbers in the new universe, and we can happily go back to forcing new ones in.

Of course, adding nonstandard integers to our universe is quite a violent change, so we also have to worry about whether we've accidentally screwed up the way that the ordinals work in the process (for instance, the "first infinite ordinal" in the new universe now contains all of the nonstandard integers we added), and we need to worry about this again when we get around to forcing the new reals in. So a whole lot of technical details need to be ironed out carefully, using a few clever combinatorial arguments, to make the whole charade come together.

All of this cheating happens under the hood in a way that is not obvious at all when you first go through the technical details of the forcing construction. I only learned about the full perspective from Joel David Hamkins's "naturalistic account of forcing".
Indeed. I was shocked when I learned how much American university students are treated as children (forced to take off-topic courses, living under high school-like rules).
How would that reduce VR sickness? It was clearly moved way more up than it was in Tie Fighter (and there is zero chance that Squadrons developers didn't play it), so it was really obscuring the view - in fact, more than X-Wing's nose. I suspect it was done for the balance purposes, or maybe some rebel scum in the development team was sabotaging the imperial starfighters.
18/6 has never done anything to my BP, I've been doing it for 10 years.

I suspect the biggest impact was trying to lose weight and changing your diet. In my case changing my diet has noticeable and immediate effect to any physiological metric than any other "trick".
There is the problem of 'manufactered' meaning a manufacterer that wants to maximize profits.

Apart from that, this digital friend will always stay virtual. You will never meet in person, never go for a coffee, go biking together or whatever. This friend will never invite you over and cook for you, never introduce you to his/her parents.

A virtual friend means the friendship is all about you. Because this digital friend's only reason for existence is you. The real world is not at all about you. But we all feel special and unique, in the center of the world. That is why (a) digital friend(s) will be very alluring. You can stay at home in your own world, in your bubble, not feeling lonely.

I think that will cause many problems for individuals and for society.

Also a manufacterer will be extremely tempted to exploit that very personal connection. There are many ways of making money from knowing absolutely everything about you and having 'your trustworthy friend' for giving suggestions and ideas.

We are decades away from being able to build a general bipedal robot that can snake out a plugged toilet or dig a trench or nail shingles to a roof. It's just not a rational goal yet. Aim lower.
If that's the case, I expect a lot of entrepreneurs end up disappointed. Quite a lot of solo proprietors end up working more for less. But when I talk with people, it's generally not money that really motivates them. It's a sense of freedom or ownership.
I agree but it seems we’re in minority. I don’t see the rate of consumption decreasing willingly
Carl Sagan had a similar take. From Pale Blue Dot:

> These are the missing practical arguments: safeguarding the Earth from otherwise inevitable catastrophic impacts and hedging our bets on the many other threats, known and unknown, to the environment that sustains us. Without these arguments, a compelling case for sending humans to Mars and elsewhere might be lacking. But with them—and the buttressing arguments involving science, education, perspective, and hope—I think a strong case can be made. If our long-term survival is at stake, we have a basic responsibility to our species venture to other worlds.
I stopped smoking because of the impact it has on lung tissue.

I instead now consume edibles, and although the high is different its still similar enough that I get the same benefits.

I do consume Sativa exclusively and recreationally.

I have ADHD and have noticed that certain symptoms of my ADHD are worse when under the influence of THC. That being said, ingesting small doses is great - the half-life is the same regardless of dose, so the effect lasts a good amount of time. Just for context I tend to consume 2.5mg of THC most of the time, and just to clarify once again, I exclusively consume Sativa, not Indica, not hybrids.

I make $700K USD a year base salary, not including other aspects of compensation. Probably over $1M with everything else. I've been working in the software industry full time since 2016. I never consume THC when I need to work, exclusively on off-days and typically during a hike or when I have time to think.

This is a throwaway since I don't really want my drug ingestion to be publicly known while there is prohibition in place. That being said I do think drugs have had a major positive impact on my life.

Ramadan is for one month and you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of obese people seeing as much of the Islamic world is not only still developing or war torn, but also very poor. You would have to do a study of ones closer to normal western standards of a daily diet to get a better control. Otherwise of course the weight of a country where you work 12-16 hours a day and eat 1600 calories max is going to be full of thin, lightweight individuals. The fact that they fast one month out of the year would have no large scale effect. Also, during Ramadan, you can eat/drink before and after sunset/sunrise. So if you gorge, your stomach size increases and then naturally adjusts to the schedule so you whole digestive system sustains itself over a longer period of time as opposed to churning calories as they are incurred.

Edit: my comments on the Islamic world were not a slight. It's a factor that should heavily be taken into consideration when comparing them against Western nations that do not have even remotely the same medical problems in regards to weight.
One thing to note - the headline of the article itself is incorrect. It says "GM Will Suck Lithium From the Salton Sea" In fact the lithium is being extracted from brine thousands of feet below the Salton Sea, as is stated in the article itself. Also GM is not doing the work, they signed an agreement with another company that is actually doing it. HN reworded headline is better.
It's practical anonymity anyway. No one will actually bother to dig up Joe Wilkinson from Adairville, Kentucky.

"The beds are reportedly almost 6 feet 11 inches and can stand up to about 440 pounds. "

"Following the games, the cardboard will be recycled into paper products, The Associated Press said, and the mattresses, which are not made of cardboard, will be recycled into plastic products.

Did it exist? In the early 1770s, there was a pretty big war on the subject of who's in charge; the late 1770s were subject to the Articles of Confederation, famous for their complete failure to establish political legitimacy for the federal government.

Even in the constitutional era, there were constant questions with foundational implications. Is slavery moral? Should Native Americans be forced to move wherever the government finds convenient? Can states secede if they don't like the election results? These were all active disputes at the time, with competing "chains of trust" on both sides.

> Each party has their own exemptions they push.

I'm not talking about pushing “exemptions”, I’m talking about motivation for specifically not allowing the IRS to prepare and provide taxpayers with a baseline calculation based on information they have as a complete return for the common simple cases requiring supplemental filing for compelx cases.

> Notice the Democratic support state tax exemption

Both Democrats and Republicans support the State and Local Tax Deduction; the GOP supports a dollar cap so as to increase pressure for low-tax state policies (more than would exist without the deduction at all or with an ubcapped deduction), Democrats prefer it be untaxed which leaves the federal hand off state tax policy.
Agree with the idea.

I don't have strong opinions on solutions here, and don't mind the status quo.

You should compare the audio too, not just the graphics. Hard to compare the audio in this video.

Broadly speaking, the GBA is more capable graphically, has a better CPU, more RAM, a simpler interface to the cartridge, and the best GBA games are going to look pretty good compared to SNES games.

However, the SNES has a dedicated programmable DSP for audio, which can play eight sample tracks simultaneously. The GBA just gives you a DAC and the CPU and you do everything there. You could of course try to make up for that by relying more on PCM tracks and leaning on the larger ROM sizes, but that will only take you so far.

Here’s a track from the FFV port to GBA:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSUWIxn0Ihw

Here’s the original version for SNES (edit: link fixed):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dghlAQDQneU

To my ears, the SNES one is the clear winner and it shows off the capabilities of the DSP—less aliasing noise (that weird crunchy sound you hear on the GBA version), and also has some basic effects (like a little bit of echo).

Historically, it was a pretty popular vacation destination.

> In the 1950s and into the 1960s, the communities expanded as the area's reputation as a resort destination and sport fishery grew.[18] Hotels and yacht clubs were built on the shore along with homes and schools.[19] Resorts in communities like Bombay Beach hosted entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys and Bing Crosby.[20] Yacht clubs held parties at night and golf courses provided recreation.[19] Many people came for boating activities such as water skiing and fishing as stocked fish proliferated.[21] Lakeshore communities grew as vacation homes were built.[15] More than 1.5 million visitors visited annually at the peak.[22]

The estimated reserves in SSGF(salton sea geothermal field) is 15 million metric tones[1].

Assuming the estimates are somewhat reliable at their projected annual draw it is 30 years worth. It is also to be noted that neither is the annual global demand close to that yet nor is the technology mature enough to extract that quantum yet so probably 50-60 years actual life time of the field which is not atypical for fields for other resources.

Also estimate is fore 600,000 tones of lithium carbonate not pure lithium.

That statement is untested. The study you linked to tested some effect but not what the headline suggests.

These people drank 14 or less drinks a week.

They didn't test one glass or half a glass or a sip per week.

> But I have more of a life than I once did. I have a wife, a busy career, aging parents and a large family. I have more physical mobility and, in turn, more interest in being active and out in the world. I now spend most of my time with people who are not Very Online. When I talk to them about some weird or frustrating internet conflagration, they tend to look at me as if I am speaking a foreign language from a distant land. And I suppose, I am.

I’ve noticed a tendency for some people to treat twitter and reddit as representative of real life. They look at some outrage that’s viral and think everyone’s outraged. It seems strongest among twitter users. Unfortunately, a lot of journalists seem to be heavy twitter users. There’s a hive mind that they seem to assume everyone good is part of.
In washington state, the state superior court ruled the police department was not liable for the impound fee paid by somebody who had their car impounded for 90* days for driving on what the computer reported was a suspended license, because they are exempt from mistakes from trusting their own computer system.

This was the second time the department had wrongfully impounded his car and they made no attempt to fix the mistake from the first time, this didn't impact the ruling.

The tachycardia experienced by skydivers isn't the same sort of stimulation that exercisers are looking for. But it's an interesting thought.
It's why deer-vehicle crashes are so common. Deer are pretty fast, and don't have any reason to stand in a road (there's nothing for them to graze, after all). But if they're crossing the road when you come along and your headlights suddenly blind their dilated eyes...

(By the way, their eyes are more like a cats, with pupils that can dilate far wider than a humans, so imagine a cop suddenly aiming a spotlight at you when it's pitch black - and then make it several times worse...)

I'd phrase it differently: the database is the litmus test of your supposed "good idea". If your good idea doesn't survive referential integrity or even data consistency, your idea doesn't deserve the label "good".

Of course, the next "good idea" is to sacrifice data integrity in the name of performance. That can work, but usually it's just a technical form of growth hacking. Sacrificing data integrity without understanding the problem space is a disaster waiting to happen (but luckily, it may not happen on your watch so you can continue hacking).
If you really want or need to go active-active but also don’t want to think about it much and can live with MySQL my preference would probably be AWS Aurora multi-master if you can live with its limitations:

As noted there and elsewhere though often you are better off just scaling up.

If you do want to really think about it then NewSQL (Cloud Spanner or others) could be the way to go but the cost, performance, compatibility/portability and other concerns make this a much more complex decision that isn’t easy to capture in a blog post (or HN comment ;).
