My state attempted to make pseudoephedrine require a prescription. One of the state lawmakers that was opposed was a doctor and he cited studies where phenylephrine was less effective than placebo. I wrote to my representative, who called me after voting for the bill to tell me that some sheriff told him phenylephrine is equally effective.

Every time you buy the stuff from the pharmacist, they're logging the purchase in a national DB and you're signing an acknowledgement that it's a huge felony to go beyond the limit. But they never tell you where you are vs the limit, and the limits aren't clearly stated. End result: chilling effect.

My mom timed her purchases incorrectly (family of 5 with mom shopping for all at the time) and went past the limit. After that she was flagged and had to have an actual doctor's prescription in order to purchase pseudoephedrine for 6-12 months. That is a HUGE hurdle for most people, and doctors don't want to see people who have cold symptoms. Heck, I was turned away from a CVS Minute Clinic recently because I had COVID like symptoms in the last 7 days. As in refused to see me, even though I had recently tested negative for COVID and had a fever + persistent cough.

Citation needed. Never heard this before now. Or is this just some California thing?
Plugins are barely possible and utterly impractical, so no objection there.

DI is totally possible, just about every system I build is nothing but dependency injection. What confuses people in the Java world is that you don't need a framework for it, you just do it. You could say the language simply supports a simple version of it natively.

If you want something much more complicated like the Java way, there are some libraries that do it, but few people find them worthwhile. They are a lot of drama for what is in Go not that much additional functionality.

This is one of the many places the interfaces not requiring declaration of conformance fundamentally changes Go vs. Java and leaves me still preferring Go even if Java picks up every other thing from Go. You don't need a big dependency injection framework; you just declare yourself an interface that matches what you use out of some 3rd-party library, then pass the value from the 3rd-party library in to your code naturally. Dependency injected. All other things you may want to do with that dependency, like swap in a testing implementation, you just do with Go code.

(And I personally think that if Java's interfaces were satisfied like Go's, there would never have been a Go.)
I'm not OP, but its elimination half life is about six hours, so you'd superficially expect OP's BP to drop in a curve with a half life of six hours after the last dose. It would be really easy to chart with one of those wrist BP monitors and an excel spreadsheet.
I suspect you're wrong. How many people do you think would prefer not having medication to having medication?
Cheaper than $199 (probably around $175 street price is my guess), 0U's, no licensing or reoccurring fees, and consumes zero host resources? Even as just a physical firewall or hardware vpn endpoint in front of a colo'ed server, using one SFP28 in full passthrough... this thing sounds incredible.

I think people that feel this device is pointless just have not been in a situation where this device is exactly what they needed. It is a niche device, admittedly.

However, you have my attention - what device are you referring to that does this better and cheaper?
Not all phones support graphical output through USB unfortunately. The Samsung S phones (with Dex) support HDMI, but my old Pixel 2 won't do that.
Although perhaps true about FDA clearance, I wouldn't be alarmist and characterize the effective dose as "dangerously" close to the LD50.

The highest dose that therapeutically is used is about 1000mg per dose. The fatal dose is about 15 times that amount.

To put it into perspective, a patient would have to be willfully taking 45 tylenol (325mg/pill) all at once to cause lethal liver damage. Doses like that are usually not accidental.
People who have zero connection to Google or Waymo have gotten in the program and used the service for months. Waymo also removed any sort of NDA allowing people to post videos of the full experience, hence all the videos on Youtube. Lastly, I would still say "10 PM and 6 AM at a maximum speed of 30 MPH" is quite a major restriction compared to what Waymo can do.
250 vs. 50000 req/s seems like a too big of a difference to me. Sure Go is faster than Node but Node is no slough either, you might want to dig in some deeper why you only got 250 req/s with Node.
It's not just the US, it's pretty much the same everywhere.

That's wonderful! How much RAM does it need?

My biggest complaint about modern browsers is that I can't load a web page in less than 64 MiB, which is more than my entire computer had when I was running Netscape 3. The browsers are better now, but not in ways that necessarily use more memory.
And now I am reminded of https://dx.doi.org/10.1136%2Fbmj.327.7429.1459 and the fact that there is no randomised controlled trials that show the effectiveness of parachutes either.
Virtually invariably, "GC is bad" assumes (1) lots of garbage (2) long pause times. Go has idiomatic value types (so it generates much less garbage) and a low-latency garbage collector. People who argue against GC are almost always arguing against some Java GC circa 2005.
The IRA Russian troll farm had 1000 employees in 2015. They used Facebook as a tool to influence elections in the United States.

This is very well documented https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency

And I don’t know why the sister comment about Facebook being used to commit genocide in Myanmar was flagged and killed. This is also well documented by eg the NYT and the UN. It was also admitted by Facebook itself.

It's not inconsistent to treat different things differently and different drugs are radically different in their individual health and societal effects.

I live in Seattle where marijuana is legal. Alcohol and marijuana are widely consumed and I rarely see any large-scale problems from it. Obviously, there are many people who can't handle either of those, but their failure to handle it well seems to not impinge on others as much. And, compared to them, there are a huge number of people able to consume alcohol and marijuana in a safe, healthy, non-problematic way.

I also live next to a couple of homeless encampments. Many of the people living there are clearly addicted to opioids and/or meth. In just this month and within a mile of my house:

* I saw a woman, topless, brandishing an umbrella, wandering between the sidewalk and into the street screaming at no one.

* A man was shot in the stomach in front of a food bank.

* Another man was shot in the neck at an encampment.

* A drive-by shot up an RV and car. (The people inside fortunately weren't hit.)

There's more I'm sure but these are just the ones I know about in the last few weeks.

It's entirely consistent to say that we should treat drugs that lead to the latter behavior differently from drugs that don't. Opioids and meth are incredibly destructive. I'm not saying what specific policies I advocate for them, just that it is reasonable to have different policies for those drugs compared to others.
Starving everybody has been around since time immemorial. It doesn't mean it's relevant to our modern era (or at least not relevant in the same way).
Great advice, generally, but this doesn't work for offline/air-gap environments like for OP.
I stopped taking pseudoephedrine and the following day my blood pressure was back to normal.

Tired of seeing people equate war crimes to Google screwing over some company.
Notice that Google Takeout is broken with regards to non-UTF8 email encodings (for some of you who archive old emails). I noticed it when coding a small tool https://github.com/karteum/gmvaultdb to (among other things) import the mbox from Takeout into an sqlite DB : Google performs some encoding conversions that permanently break all non-ascii characters in non-UTF8 emails (they are all replaced by 0xEFBFBD). In order to archive old emails, I had to use mbsync with IMAP (gmvault does not work anymore with Python 3, and I didn't try yet https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back ).
I'm happy to see dagger,
because it is something that I have been working with since 2016,
and ended up creating

https://github.com/ysoftwareab/yplatform

It uses well-tested software (GNU Make, Bash, Homebrew, Docker)
and there's not much to learn really.

* Incubated at Tobii (eyetracking, Sweden),
* it has been used for several projects of different sizes,
* tested on 12+ CIs !
* tested on macOS, Linux and Windows (WSL) !
* tested on 8+ Linux distros !
* comes with prebuilt Docker images !

Early integration with VSCode. And much more. Just read the README :)

Happy to help anyone integrate it.

You can host your own physical server. There are thousands of independent hosting options across different countries to choose from. You aren't forced to use AWS or Cloudflare. There are always other options.

The internet itself is the public square. Not the individual websites.
Exactly what I’ve done before, if components are all on one side then this is the easiest route
Every article about Mark Penn’s work for Microsoft mentioned that he was a Democratic strategist at the time.
None of the apps created by the developer being discussed could have been created as a webapp.
"Deflecting that society was responsible for the drug abuse in the first place (by letting people be poor and closing the mental hospitals) isn't going to convince many people that we should allow drug abuse and pay for the consequences as well."

The question is: what's the alternative to allowing drug abuse?

We know the War no Drugs is a dismal failure that hurts most the people who need help the most, and their families, and (as knock-on effects) the rest of society.

The pessimist in me thinks it'll just continue, despite being so detrimental to our society as a whole, but there are signs (like the success of cannabis legalization, and the ongoing Psychedelic Renaissance) that we may be moving towards a more constructive future where people who need help aren't treated like criminals and attacked.
Atleast under the coolios services tab there was the minio-service that has aws-s3 compatible blob filestorage api and a nice web-app ui.
One could host the minio directly with docker too.
Yes, I have the exact same response. If I take it more than a few days, I'll get a rebound effect.

My strategy is to take it full strength for a day or two and then taper it off gradually for the next few days after that.
Can't edit so quick follow up: Keygen can also help with the distribution side of things too, asserting that only licensed users can download the app.

Essentially works the way binarynate described in another comment, just with licensing added in as well.
Even in performance-critical software, you're not thinking about GC "all the time" but only in certain hot paths. Also, value types and some allocation semantics (which Go technically lacks, but the stack analyzer is intuitive and easily profiled so it has the same effect as semantics) make the cognitive GC burden much lower.
FOOF (or FOOOOOOF)
Just my 2¢: For the average joe like you and me, it hardly matters "statistically". You can choose whatever feels okay and you should be mostly fine. For every 1% having some issue, there are other 99% who are getting their job done without hassles. Google isn't exactly forcing money out of our hands. Alternatives exists too & so does competition among them. (Disclaimer: I don't work for any FAANG nor do I want to. I don't consider Google's policies perfect either). Being the average user - I will be wary of issues appearing on HN, and try to navigate away if stuck in a similar stickyspot (e.g Playstore account do's & donts).

Google has a good tooling environment. More technical innovations have been adopted by their competition, as compared to Google adopting likewise from them. GCP infrastructure is pretty robust too & it satisfies most, if not all of the cases I have come across. My raw data-code bundle is backed up periodically to a cheap VPS in OVH. If I ever faced an issue, I will switch to AWS, Digital Ocean or something similar. Google workspace is working for us with minimal hassles. Integration is good enough. The product guides for GCP & Workspace are fair enough (I feel GCP provides lower barrier of entry to devops with code snippets & step by step guides). Sometimes there will be an issue here or there, but that happens to all IaaS/PaaS providers.

Anecdotally, people mention AWS support to be much superior. They have never seen a mismanaged asset or significant billing issue. Amazon is seldom helpful in those cases. Also, don't get carried away by too many social justice ethos floating around. These corporations exist to make money, and so do we. Our relationship is transactional. Choose whatever is fair for you.
Right here, it seems :)
My feeling is that the trucker protests in Canada and D.C. were ostensibly about masks, vaccines and personal freedom, but a lot of people pointed out that didn't make sense since mandates were lifted, so they had anxiety about something else.

I think the actual anxiety is about being put out of work by self-driving trucks. Truckers can see the future of trucking and don't see themselves in it. Nobody seems to be working on a plan for the millions of workers whose skills will no longer be needed.

How Many Truckers Are There? Approximately 3.5 million truck drivers are employed in the United States, out of which 1 in 9 are independent, and most are owner-operators.

Is this the first Turing Award in HPC?
It's worth checking out Andrew's comment at the bottom of the blog which explains the following:

"The reason why transmitting is different from receiving: you want a transmitting antenna to be efficient, but a receiving antenna can often be very inefficient and still do its job well..."
I would generally advise against using GCP. I agree it's actually a great product, a better product even. But you're playing with fire.

Google is a company that automates everything and never picks up the phone. That's not 100% true, but it is in their nature. As a search engine that's all well and good. But for a cloud provider it's brutal.

You want somebody who is going to lean into that more classic idea of customer service. Amazon is the classic one people point to because of their fantasism about customer service. You really can get someone on the phone at AWS, though not a happy person. These things are not disconnected by the way.

As an engineer go work at Google. As a customer go spend at amazon. Or any of the others. Microsoft does customer service just fine. Even an unconventional option like kubernetes clusters built on linode or digital ocean.

A trick I've learned over the years is to appreciate companies for what they are and partner with them for their strengths but also recognize their weaknesses.

Is Google going to announce one day that they are going to Shutter GCP after all and that everyone has 6 months to migrate off? No of course not! But there's also a reason you have to be a little nervous about making that joke.

More to the point with some of your other examples, all Google's tech is ai powered. To the extent that it can be. AI makes mistakes, some days you'll be that mistake. You have to appreciate too with Google the old "I don't know how to count that low" joke. What might for you turn into a multimillion dollar business Google could conceivably shutoff and never really notice.

Maybe GCP has got better at this sort of thing too but my intuition is to not hold out for that.
Another interesting way to explore radio from around the world is via the streaming feeds that many stations now provide.

A great site for this is http://radio.garden/ which shows a globe with lights showing stations. Click on a station and it starts streaming. It is quite fascinating.

Radio.garden has been discussed a few times on HN. Here is one such discussion [1] that contains useful links to other world radio exploration resources.

They do, the model specifically marks cyclist, pedestrian and other obstacles as different, and they discuss how they're modeled differently. Furthermore, they have videos talking about their simulation system, and how they create thousands of "variations" of each scenario, with the "obstacle" doing different things.
speedgoose speaking for myself I place files in unencrypted folders in dropobx that aren't sensitive in nature, for files that are I place in an encrypted *.sparseimage so to your point it is possible for me to trust the encryption method I use to host my files within their platform but not trust them to have access to my laptops kernal.
I'd rather just carry around a laptop than use those phones
Absolutely: "System Bus Radio"

exactly, thank you SahAssar.
This page is an example of what it denounces.
You are correct, I was conflating two separate steps of the process. Federal law only requires keeping records and these could technically be done on paper. In practice, more than two thirds of the states participate in a central electronic database called the National Precursor Log Exchange.
DXM doesn’t actually suppress cough either, right?
In reality, it depends on channel width. Exists UWB radios with 10th MegaGertz channels and even more (from zero), and they have extremely good performance even with relatively low transmit power.
Yeah once in a while she does something and I think "ok, that makes sense." But she's generally a broken clock.
You go to the trouble of providing links, yet you've done something to make them not links. Is there a purpose to this, and if so, mind sharing what it is?
At least in the US and UK, you can actually still get pseudoephedrine-containing products from a pharmacist. In some countries (New Zealand!), it is prescription-only. Same with anything containing codeine.
My first thought reading the headline was, "But how do you author on a device where user input is such a chore?" Using the camera as the primary way to create content is brilliant. I love it.
I didn't say he wouldn't be outside of a Guitar Hero context. But I only met him the one time, and so it is a past tense event.
What I described above puts me on your machine. This is not theory, it has been tested against many people. Legally of course.
Absurd, of course there is a "true face." Whether the country has stayed the same or not has nothing to do with it, this is a discussion about how the US is perceived internationally. We have been flooding the rest of the world with its messaging and cultural exports for decades. In many places, China included, people genuinely looked up to the US. That has changed meaningfully across the globe.

Yes. That one.

"Real" change (ie, still a useless liberal democracy, but at least a bit more in service to the people) would start with voter reform and getting rid of FPTP entirely.
Spring RCE Confirmed
there was a study published february 2022 that showed that acetaminophen also increases blood pressure. I was pretty aware that both pseudoephedrine and ephedrine raised blood pressure slightly - but it's always good to see it mentioned online where other people may not have known.
I had a friend who would keep pseudoephedrine in his glovebox to be used for alertness in case he became drowsy driving. He was a chem nerd, so was not particularly remarkable to me.

I have to wonder if the restrictions on pseudoephedrine have driven anyone to purchase meth. The safety profile of pseudoephedrine is pretty good - I think it could be argued its a good legal stimulant to offer to the public.

Could increasing it's availability be a legitimate harm reduction measure that would displace/prevent meth use among some populations?

Are you familiar with compose key sequences? This is a way of extending the set of characters that can be directly typed by having predefined sequences of keys that map to particular characters. They are started after pressing a so called "compose key". There are some examples in this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
Office365 is probably going to stay around for ten more years.
Luddites to the weaving loom, Blacksmiths to the steel mill, farm hands to the combustion engine, secretaries to the email, travel agencies to the search engine, etc.

Technology has a robust history of displacing jobs, and humans have a robust history of learning new skills. Change is never comfortable, but predictable.
The demoscene has plenty of "artists who code", dating back literally decades. https://www.pouet.net I really hope this isn't just some sort of lame ripoff effort, and instead will honestly try to uphold and proceed further from that kind of remarkable history.
My understanding is that acetaminophen toxicity has been a problem particularly for children, because 1) the toxic dose is lower, 2) many common OTC products for children include some amount of acetaminophen among their active ingredients and 3) parents may give their children multiple such products (one for runny nose, one for fever reduction, one for nighttime relief, etc.) over the course of a day and end up exceeding the safe dose, leading to liver toxicity. That was the situation a few years ago at least.
All you had to do is ask for a free state ID card.

I don’t know why people keep forking over money for state ID. It’s a state government scam.

I believe the parent is referring to policies about how addiction is defined; a good article on the matter is

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/16/against-against-pseudo...

Essentially by rules a patient asking for higher dosage of an addictive drug is automatically seen as a sign of addiction, even if sometime it might just be that the current dosage is too low.

> If you can do 95%, that might be good enough.

Self-driving cars have been at 95% since the 90's. They've been at 98% since 2012. Humans are higher than 5 nines.

It turns out that human drivers, even poor ones, have a much better driving record than self-driving cars. With this latest Waymo experiment we may finally see some significant progress.
