The FDA isn't immune to the same kind of corruption/conflicts of interest that impacts other federal agencies.

Scott Gottlieb worked at the FDA at a high level, before leaving for a stint in the private sector which included being a partner in a VC fund which invested in many medical startups. He left that to become the commissioner of the FDA under the previous administration. Gottlieb is currently on the board of Pfizer, and has relationships with several other companies in the pharma space.

It's not insane to think this person still has sway with people who are working within the FDA and are considering a move to the private sector.

The tension here is that we all understand the concept of being 'too close to the problem'. It's the opposite fence-post from Dunning-Kruger, and the truth likes somewhere between them, not between DK and some center line.

It's not universally the case that an unbiased observer is lacking critical details that explain why the problem hasn't been solved better. The observer has different frames of reference, one that might include wisdom from other problem domains that have already solved a similar problem. The observer is unbiased or differently biased. They have no sunk cost fallacy. They have not attached their sense of identity to the existing work.

Best of all, they have not attached their sense of self to the struggle that got us where we are today. People who identify with their suffering resist attempts to fix it. Aggressively. Because if they sit with the idea that it could have ended years ago if only we had done X, that means they needlessly suffered. It makes them feel foolish, and small. The suffering has to mean something, other than that we were just grinding our gears.
Some day, the last original 1986 Barry Bonds rookie baseball card will disappear, lost in a housefire or an alien invasion or something. There might still be high quality digital images of what that card looked like, in archives of eBay auction pages and the digitized records of the baseball hall of fame and whatever other ephemera wind up in the Svalbard vault.

And in fact, the photo reproduction on that card was already a poor 1980s print quality reproduction of an original photo of Barry Bonds, which probably - no matter how well it was looked after - will have suffered and faded with age as print tends to; and that actual original photo was probably reproduced in a bunch of other places outside of that run of baseball cards - and maybe the original negative of that film exists in some archive somewhere, with a high quality digital copy available - from which you could reproduce an even higher quality picture than was presented on that card.

But you would never be able to replace that card, because the point of the card was its physical connection to the moment in time where a legendary career started.

"Humans preserved this specific lump of matter and kept it safe over a long period of time even though that was difficult and, let's be honest, not very important" is what gives value to antique collectibles.

"Humans preserved the cryptographic chain of custody of this sequence of binary digits that reference a specific widely archived piece of digital media over a long period of time, by creating a distributed computing system that just automatically ensured it would be passed on to posterity whether posterity wanted it or not," doesn't create the same human connection.
Ohhhh I see, I didn't connect the "lineage": Vault 7 leak from CIA, Symantec says stuff in Vault 7 is from Longhorn. Thanks for pointing out the obvious for me haha :)
I'm a 50 year old Brit. I too have a 7.5 tonne lorry plus trailer endorsement on my license. Also, small PSV and various others. Everyone used to get them and that was probably EU wide. Not sure when it stopped.

Provided you take corners carefully and use all the mirrors, a "box van" or a smaller "Luton" is easy enough to drive. The controls are pretty obvious and familiar but hillstarts and reverse hill starts need a little practice. When loaded, allow extra stopping and maneuvering space!
This is a very interesting looking device, but the form factor seems completely impractical. It's kind of sad for the linux ecosystem to see people wasting their resources on such silly form factors instead of better touchscreen support and onscreen keyboards for linux.
You're being pedantic about terminology which I've already demonstrated my understanding of in this thread. In the context of the general populous, "scientific fact" means that a random lay person on the street, despite not doing any of the research themselves or reading any of the literature on the matter, accepts the conclusions of the scientific community as the truth. It's a scientific fact that the world is round even though most of us have not taken any measurements to verify this, and almost none of us have been to space. We just trust the wealth of data produced by professionals in several different domains which all point to the same conclusion.

You're also being disingenuous if you think "just a theory" isn't a phrase constructed to mislead. Your comment implies that you understand that a theory is literally the strongest model that science can give us about a topic, but saying something is "just X" implies that there is something else beyond X. So which is it? Is a theory as strong as it gets, or can science do better? If it can't do better, then never use the phrase "just a theory".
A bit clickbaity is a reasonable criticism, but not "end of story".

I think it's pretty reasonable to expect that older licenses that had these sort of automatic endorsements unbacked by any experience should have been excluded from the letters – so there is a story here. 1999 was 22 years ago!
NOTHING; individually.

>Reddit

>I wonder if it wouldn't be more efficient if scientists were writing press releases themselves

Agree, and I think everyone here has experienced the phenomenon where someone on reddit/HN/twitter has explained something far better than a media outlet. The thing to keep in mind when trying to understand this is that absolutely __everyone__ responds to incentives. With a news organization, no matter what that organization is or their goals, the chief incentive is readership, not accuracy or anything else. Not saying that the writers are anything other than well intentioned and honest or that they don't care deeply about the truth, but the reality of mortal existence is to maximize behaviors that you believe benefit you.

A news org is benefited by people reading what they say, not by being right. Reddit/twitter/HN often is a better source of truth because people often post because they have a desire to be heard, be understood, share information, tell the truth or some other reason that does not involve selling ads against you reading what they say.
As pointed out in the Github issue comments, Californian corporate agents in particular. The new CoC represents "California Core Corporate Policies" after all.
So does Windows Teams. Finally, parity.
This means though also face the risk of losing your key and having no way to recover it. This seems like a bigger risk to me.
> the article outlines footage from inside the hurricane.

Further the article has a video showing the location of the drone in the storm, pretty far from the eye.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. When I was younger, seeing a bouncer guarding the entrance to a pub was a pretty decent proxy for that pub not being the kind of place I’d like to have a drink in.
I don't think that's a major problem, as prions are as old as life as far as we know and have not been the source of major problems, with the only known exceptions being caused by widespread cannibalism (such as a few villages or the cow-based cow diets).

In fact, one of the oldest organized religions in the world, Zoroastrianism (the religion of ancient Persian empire) disposes of their dead by putting them atop Towers of Silence [0] to be eaten by vultures, which has not been any source of problems as far as I know.

Agree with a lot of his choices - Beaver makes great stuff, but also want to cape up for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale mustards. They're both good, but the honey one is particularly great - just a hint of sticky-sweet that doesn't overpower the vinegar.

The rant behind her post (https://drewdevault.com/2020/09/25/A-story-of-two-libcs.html ), which has had some circulation, really shows its author’s limited perspective.

glibc needs to solve two hard problems: be very fast and run on innumerable systems. Some of that conditional stuff is because all the world is not Linux or BSD; some of the macrology is there to make sure such handling is performed everywhere needed, and of course the preprocessor is the closest a language like C can get to preprocessing.

I was in the code as glibc started to exist (we paid for a lot of it) and it looked like Musl: very straightforward.
It's present in Safari, Photos, and presumably some other apps that make use of the native image view widget as well.
When I went looking for an online brokerage in the USA with a reasonable login process (i.e. 2FA, not by SMS ever) it seemed pretty hard to find one. (Maybe that's changed?) These brokerages handle amounts much greater than a software engineer's retirement savings.

My favorite general purpose mustard is probably Vienna's Dusseldorf mustard. It's not listed in this article but it's great on sandwiches and brats. The only problem is that it's fairly expensive online and no one really sells it here in stores.
it's only annoying and seems like hypocrisy if you are willfully ignoring that unusual heat waves and other climate volatility are a trend and cold snaps don't refute that?

Lol. That's the supposed Gislane Maxwell account, right?
The people who pushed that story in the 70s should be ashamed, considering there was more evidence to support a warming theory than a cooling one, even then. Alternatively, they might be pleased if it was some kind of intentional misinformation.
Qt/qml works for. With python sometimes.
"No one in their right mind" - Again, maybe it's because I see a version of my younger self, but it seems oversensitive! Yes, I know we are now in a world where any joke in the workplace that bases itself on "protected class" is theoretically off-limits. But that switch has flipped rapidly, and on top of it, that joke was truly minor. If it was an aggression, it really puts the micro in microaggression. But to read the comments, you'd think he made a Holocaust joke on Passover.

It was foolish to make the joke, it was even more foolish to make it on a digital format that cannot be rescinded. It's also foolish for people to immediately call for this person's removal from the community in perpetuity, rather than have a chat and explain that those jokes aren't funny.
That sounds like a very pragmatic, and politically-neutral idea, that would be portrayed as a "far-left nanny-state Marxist doctrine." . . .
German driving licenses didn’t use to have expiration dates and I haven’t read that that changed. My ex still uses hers, issued in the mid 80s with a photo of her in her 20s
No. Go throw up a twitter clone on an AWS instance or a digitalocean droplet, or host it on an old PC in your closet. Probably half of the people here on HN have coded some clone like that and it's just sitting unused.

It's not AWS preventing a twitter alternative from popping up.

Also: things like gab, gettr, .win etc. all exist. They're just cesspools.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Does anybody happen to know anything about the origins of the "Chinese hot mustard" condiment?

It's ubiquitous in Chinese restaurants in the US, but my friend in China tells me that nobody in China actually eats the stuff. I spent a solid weekend researching this, even poring over Chinese language source materials + Google translate with no luck.

Mainly I want to know: is it true that this isn't a thing in China, and when and why did it start appearing in American Chinese restaurants?
To anyone seeing this link please beware. The linked PDF recommends several treatments that have insufficient evidence of being safe or effective, such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. The only pre-hospitalization treatment currently recommend by the NIH with strong evidence is Monoclonal antibodies. Other previously recommended treatments such as steroids and Remdesivir have weak or conflicting evidence. Steroids are still recommended in a hospital setting.

I'm sure many of us are familiar with sources of statical bias and issues such as multiple testing error. These things apply to clinical trials just as much as email subject line testing. That is why it is important to focus care on treatments that have strong evidence and continuing to study new treatments with insufficient evidence. Politics should not determine treatment, evidence should.

Please see the NIH pages on current covid care recommendations, which also include pages on treatments with insufficient evidence, their theorized mechanism and the state of research.

>If I keep the car and the title, what stops me from selling my NFT?

Nothing, but you lose all of the benefits that come with the NFT along with making the car much harder for you to sell in the future.

>Or sharing my wallet containing the NFT with several people who can all use it to gain access to the exclusive benefits? "Hey bro, send me your private key so I can get into this club."

This already happens with things like airport lounge access and other things like Netflix where you share your credentials with your friends. Nothing is stopping you but if the services find out they will likely ban you and you will lose access and the resale value of your car will also go down.

Most of this is common sense and people won't even give it much thought in the future but it's interesting that a lot of these cases need to be explained when technology is new.

If we all agree (and I mean, a large number of people) to fully quit Facebook; or at the very least - report and block every single one of these sites and postings, I think that would be a great deterrent.
Garbage article. Doesn't explain why the game is such a "game changer". It's just another bland MMO, whose playable contents have already been depleted by gamers.

Articles are such garbage nowadays, it seems every author has a quota to fill just to flood the already saturated market of information.
I was a bit confused and initially misunderstood this to be an announcement that Multicore OCaml was available now.

However, it seems to be an announcement that a future release - OCaml 5.0 - will support Multicore, Effect handlers etc ?
Of all the supposed value props of crypto, "privacy" is at the bottom of the list.
The title is so clickbaity that it became anti-clickbait (aclickbaity?): I clicked not to learn how this is even possible, but to find out what the eventual catch was.

A better title would be: Here's the first photo ever of a layer of pure electrons. Still click-attracting, yet factually correct (as far as I understand).
