The 10-year life expectancy for localized prostate cancer is around 98 percent. It’s remarkably curable. Many prostate tumors are so slow-growing and nonthreatening, they’re not even treated—they’re simply monitored to make sure they stay nonthreatening. “You’re more likely to die with prostate cancer than of prostate cancer,” says Dr. Isla Garraway, director of research in the Department of Urology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
The SEC doesn't conduct criminal prosecutions. They can only bring civil actions for securities law violations. If they do find evidence of criminality they pass it to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.

You have sort of explained "what is citizenship", complained about some random ideology, and completely failed to answer either of my questions.

My country is NOT my family. My "nation" (whatever that is... a replacement for a tribe or something?) is NOT my family, nor even my extended clan. Why do I need to have "family" at a scale of millions of people, almost all of whom I will never encounter?

A reminder of the still unanswered questions:

Why does citizenship matter?

What does any of that have to do with the difficulty of changing citizenship?
I saw something like this on Youtube.

It was a video of a woman basically going through the stages of raising her daughter and having her boyfriend come back into her life.

The end is basically her only having 30 minutes to decide for abortion and would have to sit through it again for another chance at abortion.
Hi HN! I previously submitted this project 7 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26026972) and am trying it again; I hope that is OK.

I spent time writing this utility after being surprised that there didn't seem to be many resources in this space. I wanted to write a weekly report that would send mail to my boss (and boss' boss) about the state of some key metrics. The main design goals were to (1) support a simple on-premises deployment use-case and (2) leverage the existing Python ecosystem around visualizations. I hope others find it useful and am interested in feedback/suggestions. It is open source but is released under the Prosperity license, so if it's used commercially you should purchase an annual license after 30 days of trial.
I'm confused, I thought we were talking about France?

The above makes sense though, nuclear power plants are a bit too expensive to build compared to other alternatives. You get more bang for your buck by investing it elsewhere. I wonder what their definition of green is, it's clearly not CO2-based. Nuclear energy is not renewable so maybe that's their angle?
How do you do that on an iPhone? I wouldn't mind having a game or two on my phone for when I have some time to kill (e.g. waiting at a doctors office), but AFAICT, the app store doesn't have any way to sort by "Most popular games that don't have in app purchases". I've tried just Googling for recommendations, but that doesn't work very well either.

The solution isn't "Well - let's stop that company from using our product" it's to ride that company for a while and try to remain semi-independent until the spotlight shown on your product by that company attracts other devs. Basically the "Oh hey - Amazon decided to use Rust? Maybe it isn't just a passing fad..." adoption takes time and Rust is still very young.

As the other poster mentioned, there's a meaningful distinction between customer and contributor. If Google stopped buying the contract for the default search, someone else would buy it. Like Yahoo did in around ~2014. Or like various other search engines already do in other countries/languages.

How to Implement a Secure Central Authentication Service in Six Steps
Are we reading the same thread? I don't think their involvement is at issue.
I did touch on that problem. Like I pointed out Zuckerberg can’t log in on new devices anymore. That’s because of the thousands of attempts per second to log into his account. Those attempts happen because he’s a celebrity. His experience is objectively different because of who he is.

It’s the same with Neymar. How many times do you think his profile is reported for any number of violations by people who don’t like him? If an ordinary persons account got 100 reports a minute it would be taken down. Neymar’s won’t be.

I don’t know how every Integrity system could be modified to make an exception for any of these classes of accounts or how to codify it in a way that would seem “fair”. If you have an idea for a better way, you should share it.
A perfectly good case to make (I'm not quite convinced by "most churches" as a metric), but doing so is different from moving goalposts and calling it "weighting".
The elite have personal assistants and social media managers who use Facebook on their behalf for brand building and PR.
Is it really that bad that they apply slightly different sets of rules to accounts with more notoriety?

For example, do we (as facebook consumers) want newly created accounts with @hotmail email treated the same as a new account with @doj.gov, as the same as a Celebrity with a million followers?

Do we want the same set of rules for a suspected Russian troll account to be applied to a major politician? (well..some here might, but I don't).

I think as your account age, status and popularity grows, you should be given *some* flexibility under the rules. Imagine a points system behind the scenes, where bad things get you points, and other things remove points. At a certain point threshold you are banned, suspended, etc.
> Would it be sensible to treat Europe as one country

Why would it? Europe isn't a country. India and China are countries. I fail to see your point. It's obviously more diverse if Chinese, Indians, Europeans, South Americans, Africans etc have a more or less equal chance, and that's what the current rules are supposed to provide.

> It would be a first-come-first-served system

So you think immigration status should be determined by whether someone gets their forms in on the 1st of January or not? I'm not sure that's entirely practical or fair. Perhaps a lottery would be more suitable.

Your wholesale invention of "animus against well designed RCTs" anyway explains your impassioned defense of fetishizing RCTs. I have never encountered any such animus, and doubt you have, either.

You reveal that you missed that Pearl spells out circumstances where observational studies do suffice to demonstrate what you insist requires an RCT.

And, you show you missed the entire section on the historical events that led to your and others' continuing fetishization of RCTs as the only possible means to demonstrate causation, and their lack to make any such demonstration impossible, which you continue to insist upon, against reason.

Your late admission that RCTs may be poorly designed, and thus fail to demonstrate what they claim, contradicts your previous fetishistic insistence on RCTs' infallibility.

Ask HN: Salary adjustments not keeping pace with market should I leave?
In short, I like my current company. There are some issues, and a bit of stress, but overall interesting work. I currently make what is considered to be "average" for my role in my area. Recently, I've gotten offers for similar roles with salaries 25r-35% higher than my current compensation. For context, I've had two large salary adjustments in the past quarter, but neither of those has put my comp on par with current offers. Have you ever left just for the money? Should I try to re-negotiate my current comp (that seems sort of poisonous/dangerous)?
But those numbers don't account for severe disease, hospitalization, and death which are the whole point of the vaccines. You're latching onto this dramatic exchange because of some stupid idea that vaccines are this magic shield against any infection, and while they do reduce risk of infection they are mostly meant to prevent severe disease, hospitalization, and death.

Also you don't account for possible explanations for the UK data. For example, maybe unvaccinated people in the UK are more likely to have previously contracted COVID. More likely I think, the vaccinated are taking much more risk than the unvaccinated, leading to their higher case counts. Many unvaccinated are immunocompromised (or know that they are at higher risk for severe complications from COVID because they are unvaccinated) so I assume many of them are taking higher precautions than the vaccinated, i.e. wearing N-95's, not leaving their houses while many vaccinated people I know in the UK are going to 50k person festivals.

"It" refers to what you wrote, i.e. "Given how a COVID death is defined, an entirely inert virus engineered to be spreadable but otherwise completely harmless would still be considered to have racked up a lot of deaths."

That theory is obviously not compatible with the excess mortality graphs moving in lockstep with the Covid death graphs. If the virus has no correlation with deaths and it is all a mis-attribution, why would the pattern of deaths match so well with the pattern of excess mortality?

Excess mortality being a model rather than ground truth is irrelevant too. It still doesn't explain the correlation.

A company will make exemptions for very famous people.
In every case, when something grows too big, you will find that are special cases that must be exempt from the general rules.
There are very few exemption to this. Usually rule of law. Almost anything else has exemption.

There really weren't device drivers in DOS. Programs would include drivers for running peripheral devices, and then YOU had to configure each one to work with DOS. This was the biggest problem with DOS. These programs talked directly to the hardware. Once TSR drivers were combined with CD-ROM and sound drivers, things would be very quirky during a GUI install. I remember Peter Norton put out some very good DOS books, and he wrote a few chapters about common issues with "Multimedia PCs".
I concede that some accounts probably deserve that specific type of protection. However, it doesn’t explain the other kinds of protections these people have, including exemption from content-based rules. Those are the issues of real concern.
There are peculiarities of eliteness in America that matter here.

As someone with low-grade prostate cancer, the thing I'm most hoping for (for now) is better imaging or other monitoring tools since I'm looking at getting a biopsy every other year or so. The biopsy itself isn't too bad as far as medical procedures, but each one has a risk of infection so I wish there were a less invasive way. I'll get MRI's too, but they don't work as well at detecting small cancerous areas, my MRI missed the cancer that a subsequent biopsy found.

Though I also wouldn't mind targeted immunotherapy that could target the cancer without any invasive procedures, chemicals or radiation.

This is a great example of why key-sharing exists today... and why it shouldn't. In theory, you should be able to pick up and old client and decrypt new messages and history on it absolutely fine. However, in practice, Matrix's E2EE publishes 100 one-time keys (OTKs) on your server to let other devices establish secure 1:1 channels with you if you're offline - and if you go offline and that pool of OTKs exhausts, then new sessions won't get set up and you won't receive keys for new messages... giving the misbehaviour you're seeing.

Now, you're right that key-sharing is a useful way to fudge around that failure mode.

But an even better way to fix it would be to find a way to stop the OTK pool exhausting - and that's precisely what MSC2732 is: https://github.com/uhoreg/matrix-doc/blob/fallback_keys/prop.... This provides a last-ditch key which can be used to set up 1:1 sessions even if you run out of OTKs, which is marginally inferior to using a different OTK every time, but in practice really isn't a disaster (see the MSC for details).

However, fallback keys are relatively new and aren't implemented on all clients yet (matrix-js-sdk has them, but matrix-ios-sdk is implementing this coincidentally this week)... and so until they land, we still need keyshare requests to paper over this limitation.

But in future, hopefully it will be almost unheard-of to need a keyshare request, and we can change them to be an entirely manual or out-of-hand mechanism of some kind, and avoid classes of bugs like the vuln in question here in future.
I haven't looked into this specifically... But anytime some new prison tech or "service" comes up, take a look at who the inventor / investor / company is or belongs to. It's usually the warden or someone similar.

That's fascinating. Would you please give an example of a chemical whose toxicity decreases with increased dosage?

> In the full quote it's clear we aren't talking about pesticides or arsenic.

"All things" makes it pretty clear what we're talking about. I feel comfortable asserting that both pesticides and arsenic are members of the set of all things, along with vitamins, iron, and perchlorates. I think one might go so far as to say that an organism can be poisoned by any substance its body is capable of absorbing in sufficient quantity. Water poisoning is a fun example. Despite our bodies largely being composed of it, ingest too much and your cells swell up to the point it can cause brain failure. Even the non-reactive noble gasses can cause narcotic effects.
