That's state, not city, and an expansion from the city's criteria.

Yes, sometimes vaccines get added to the list. Shocking!
and even if thats an over-estimate, how many hundreds of millions are ok
It's like they are incapable of reading and doing their own research. Regardless, a better solution would be to regulate data collection to make alternative self-hosted services available and easy to use and allow you to opt-out as well.
Sure and I was positing why they may have increased.
You're likely right. I was remembering having to disassemble old iMacs (pre-2009) for a college job but they were ancient enough to be Torx instead. Not a fan of machines that require a plunger just to get the RAM out to be honest.

Digital Foundry notes that price/transistor isn't really going down anymore, and die shrinks aren't enough to improve performance or price (at least for GPUs). The result is cards that are bigger, more expensive, hotter, and more power hungry. The last two mean more expensive cooling. The Nvidia 3000 series was a nice price improvement compared to the 2000 series, but MSRP at the top end will approach 2k MSRP in the next generation.
Are you suggesting that the skin cancer rates are a lagging indicator and the explosion in cases is the result of the lax attitudes of a few decades ago as described in the article?

One thing the article didn't mention is that even just 30 years ago sunscreens were nowhere near as effective as they are today. SPF 15 was extremely common and 30 was kinda rare and usually left you looking like you were whitewashed. Today it's nothing at all to find SPF 50 on the shelf. And if you use them properly they actually work, unlike some of the formulations of old. You can be out in the direct sun all afternoon and still come in still mostly pale.
This is ridiculous. There aren't even 1 billion nonreligious people in the world[1].

Do you mean objective as opposed to subjective instead of objectionable? And what side effects did you have from therapy with ketamine?
Please make the connection between xenophobia and democracy

EDIT: I agree that it looks like things could get very bad. Let's hope for best possible outcomes.
Not having a UPS device also has risks. If you have any brownouts or surges then your electronics could be fried.
This looks like it could be really useful. I tend to write out my specs in pseudocode before coding anyway, so being able to easily translate that human gobbledygook into a form that can be checked for correctness, seems like it could help the creative process of coming to a solution. Just try out ideas and see if they help solve it. Keep honing them down until you get it.
No, please. The last thing we need is even more of the toxic diaspora from Reddit and the chans showing up here.

Well, you can look at history. The jar is never empty.
This probably happened a half dozen times a year when I was in college in the dorms. Total evac with everyone in their pjs on the sidewalk. Usually it would be people getting high and making ramen and forgetting the water. Othertimes, popcorn would be purposely burned to mask the smell of getting high.
Please consider — not to preach :) — please consider recycling it rather than just dumping it. Shit from that battery will leech into the water supply for years. Most municipalities have some way to recycle batteries. Cyberpower has a page about it, too — https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/company/recycling.aspx
Turn Off buttons are like delete buttons on the internet, they don't really do what they say they do.
Indeed. The research around glutamate / glutamine pathways seems very sound.

I did IV infusions which is nice because it can be stopped compared to IM injections, nasal spray or lozenges.
Dairy isn't nutritionally necessary for anyone. Perhaps it was in the past, but not now. You won't find evidence for that.

Not sure what you mean about telos. Evolution informs us about why we eat what we eat and how we might be affected by various foods, but it does not control us. We can choose what we want to eat.
At moments like these we should realise America is as full of religious extremists as Saudi Arabia.
In some people their xenophobic feelings are innately so strong, or can be stoked to become so strong that those people will go to great lengths to keep outsiders outside, even destroying their own democracy in the process.
Yeah MS is full of shit. No one should be trusting windows at this point. Windows had its fair share of easter eggs anyway (at least up until NT) and more recently I saw this one: https://old.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/gxgyvd/i_think_i_f...

That's a single metareview paper which was started by an undergraduate. Maybe people find that valuable, but other studies on the topics that used actual experimentation present somewhat mixed reviews trending towards clinical relevance.

A well set trip in my case as helped me personally where nothing else did. It had the same effect on friends that suffered from the same issue.

Also I will share that I have a sibling that suffers from depression. At one point we said okay we are going to try this in a controlled setting with friends. 6 months of happiness. This should be a regulated and available treatment.
It's not common to adjust dials, especially during songs. Between songs is less rare but still uncommon. A significant number of bands do have a rhythm guitar that's going almost non-stop.

I take a picture of every pedal board I see at every concert I go to, so I'm actively looking for this stuff. Some people even tape the dials so they aren't bumped during shows.
Preordered, looks beautiful & one of those books I’ve never thought to want, but know I need it as soon as I saw the first photos.

Poking around the No Starch website, I see another book I’ve already preordered: Grady Hillhouse’s Practical Engineering, based solely on how much I’ve enjoyed his Youtube channel. Bring back the googly eyes, though!

From the paper "Right-wing extremism/radicalism: reconstructing the concept" [1]:

> Although nationalism, racism and xenophobia are all discrete concepts, policies of exclusionary nationalism and cultural homogeneity often go hand-in-hand with racism and/or xenophobia. Homogeneity is usually advocated on the grounds that there are irreconcilable natural differences between groups of people and that these groups should not mix – i.e. according to a racist doctrine.

> It is the values inherent in liberal and pluralist democracy and the procedures and institutions that sustain these values that particularly stick in the craw of right-wing extremists/radicals. Indeed, Carter defines right-wing extremism by reference to two elements: ‘a rejection of the fundamental values, procedures and institutions of the democratic constitutional state’, and ‘a rejection of the principle of fundamental human equality’.

Is there an established precedent for this? A company with resources could fight it in court and win, neutering the State.
It's in "Reddit and similar established sites" section at the bottom of the list.
Yes, thank you.

I do not like the numbness from the ketamine. I understand psilocybin is going to be a different experience that may not make me feel as out of control.
I work in healthcare.

Here is an exchange I had with a major hospital about standard surgery (one of those deemed "Shoppable services") earlier this year. This exchange was possible after I was able to get an email recipient, following a 30min conversation.

>>>>
Hello!

I was told by the very helpful Ms. XXX, that you would be able to provide patient responsibility amount , related to CPT codes for XXX procedure.
I am attaching front and back of my insurance card (Payor). The member DOB is MM/DD/YY

The specific 2 codes in question are :
CPT 12345
CPT 01234

Can you please provide the total cost and patient resp. for the CPTs above?

___________________________________________________________

Response:

Good morning,

>>>>>The hospital does not process estimates for patients with insurance coverage. However, our web portal contains charges under the Hospital Price Transparency link. I have included the link in the subject line for easy access. [comment: This link was broken. After much browsing.. I was able to find an alternate route. The linked file turned out to be a JSON. I couldn't figure that one out] As far as out-pocket responsibility, your insurance company is the best source for that information; they will advise if you have any copay for the encounter.

Read the 1st sentence of the reply again. My blood still boils from that...
I feel like large percentage of game enjoyment comes from enjoyable UI. You have to feel right when you are operating a game.
Xenophobia can exist anywhere. But it is a notable turn for modern democracies which seemed to have gotten past that.
I'm giving some thought to brewing up my own UPS. Mostly for capacity, which is tough to get in a residential unit at any price, and quickly becomes expensive if you try. Technologically, it is not particularly difficult. You buy a halfway decent inverter/charger from a reputable manufacturer, and however much LiFePO4 capacity you want. I would not choose lithium ion; LFPs are considerably less likely to combust.
Can't edit, but after looking it up it turns out this is already common in some parts of the world!
Another fun experiment is to slice a grape in half and stick it under a glass cup, then start the microwave and step the hell back. Also, never ever put an egg in a microwave. I accidentally made that mistake and it blew the door open and shattered the glass dish. Might as well have microwaved dynamite.

If I’m reading the “Lifetime concurrent users on Steam” chart on https://steamdb.info/app/753/graphs/ correctly, it’s a slight increase: today 28.0M, 6mo ago 27.9M, 1y ago 25.2M
A state can make it illegal to transport someone or to travel for purposes of getting an abortion (the transportation would be happening in state) and it would be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether to rule it's constitutional or not.
I'm not too worried about any "wear" a used card might have. Any used models I should look into buying? Or is it just recent AMD or Nvidia with lots of ram?
I'm sure that would have been interesting to see that data. I had an ancient microwave that had cook times for various classical american dishes. Apparently its 30 minutes to microwave an entire turkey.
If all is going great with your brain don’t change a thing. But in the case of not doing great why suffer and not try things that have worked for others for the fear and stigma of drugs/ plants and other therapies? Exercising helps a lot of people but not everyone though.
I find inverter microwaves are much better at reheating - you can set it to say 30% power which lets the heat conduct through the food better whereas older microwaves would blast at full power 30% of the time resulting in the usual inconsistent heating where one part is overcooked and the other part cold.

Of course lower power means it takes longer, but its still much more convenient to put something in a microwave vs getting a pot out.
That sounds like Newspeak to me. Insofar as climate refugees may trigger “xenophobia” it will be elites trying to overcome democratic resistance to open borders. In the US, all it took was a modest amount of scarcity ($5 gas and a bit of inflation) for the GOP to pull back ahead in the polls.
Most municipalities that have transfer stations (dumps) have battery disposal there.
Geography is only half of geopolitics. I predict you are correct about Canada.
Another problem to note is that LEO can (and often does) just buy the data. Even through shell companies. No warrant needed. You may not get info on a specific individual, but you sure can reduce your search space.

Surveillance Capitalism was a mistake. I don't see how it can lead to anything but a Cyber Punk reality. I'm not sure it will even be okay if we get homomorphic encryption going (but clearly there isn't big efforts to do so by these companies).
Based on this comment, you may not understand what the GPL's purpose actually is, because it is NOT simply for the promoting sharing and remixing. The GPL is for ensuring that code, and its derivatives, are all able to be shared and remixed in perpetuity. the biggest (imo) difference between GPL and MIT/BSD licenses is that you CAN NOT use GPL'd code in a non-GPL* codebase. (*or GPL-compatible license)
There are under 2 billion nonreligious people in the world so billions is not accurate.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using various pedals for playing music, and as others here, I’ve also rocked out with modular synths. But I have to say that pedals (and other musical equipment) can be very frustrating because their UIs are very obtuse. You can directly turn a knob to change the effect, but you often have no idea what exactly they’re changing.

It turns out that chorus, flangers, and phasers are all variations on a short delay whose time is controlled by an LFO. So you can change the average length of the delay and you can also change the amplitude of the LFO. There’s often a parameter labeled either “depth” or “amount” and it’s not clear whether you’re changing delay time, LFO amplitude, both, or something else. Worse, some try to have descriptive names that may not make any sense. A friend’s guitar DSP unit had a parameter just called “balls” for the amount of distortion. Turning it up made it sound more like AC/DC. No idea what it was actually controlling.

So yeah, direct feedback of physical UI is great, but if you don’t know what you’re controlling, it can be very frustrating to try and make it do something specific.

[Edit] Also, those pedals that are just a switch I find much less satisfying to use and harder to hit right.

I want to offer a hopeful rephrasing: "The effect it could have ... should be a call for us to strengthen migrants' rights today."
Apple Maps is intentionally designed not to associate any data with Apple IDs, and to use random ethereal identifiers for parts of the route.

I had one pop on me during a power outage a few months ago. I was quite miffed. The only halfway decent looking UPSes have annoyingly loud fans on them. Still, the fans probably prevent the thermal issues.
> However, their server still needs to know where users are temporarily in order to send a map of the local area.

Serve the maps in very coarse blocks that are downloaded ahead of time (and updates are served as binary diffs) so the smallest region the backend can pinpoint is the current city.

Over a decade ago stand-alone GPS units with single-core, sub-gigahertz CPUs, RAM measured in dozens of megabytes and shitty slow SD cards managed to hold maps for the entire country, so there's no reason devices orders of magnitude faster on all fronts can't do the same. In fact, in the iPhone 3G era I remember buying a GPS app that embedded all of Europe's maps locally and it worked well (in fact, local search is actually faster than online search).
I have the CP1500AVR as well. I'm nervous enough now, I'm going to unplug it and order an Eaton this weekend.

Exclude that as a sunk cost: the paper is coming to your mailbox either way. The only difference is, does the carbon get sequestered in the dump, or does it prevent another artificially-fast-growing pine from being processed into paper? Which of those options is less damaging? I don’t have the data, but I feel like it’s probably pretty close.
I could go on a tangent about how the US makes anti-BDS laws, but the reality is that sanctioned companies are not easy to follow and track, and Google ceased doing business as soon as they were alerted. You're hyperbolic statement indicated that you only cared about what was illegal, not whether they were making legitimate efforts to follow the laws.

However, sanctions don't necessarily indicate a moral implication... merely a political one.

Do they usually get added more than five decades after they were approved in kids, or was there some political sea change in 2020 which probably has more explanatory power?
Appeal to emotion, therefore your point is invalid... Didn't expect to read something this vapid on HN. You may as well have said they owned slaves and therefore their ideas are forever wrong.

I would suggest you actually read about the strategy behind the 3/5ths clause; everyone that invokes that as invective merely signals his/her ignorance of that context.

Some trivia: CC0 is a public domain declaration.. at least in the US. There is no process by which an author can make their works public domain, CC0 is just a (weak) promise that the copyright holder will treat the work as if it were public domain.
Google will not be able to sustain this. In states where abortions become crimes Google cannot start deleting just the evidence pertaining to those crimes. They could stop collecting location data entirely, but this selective approach will not survive in court.

Congratulations on the Google exit, though if I recall from previous discussions you don't view ads as a negative on society. So your trade-offs will probably look different than many others in that regard.
It definitely had a minor positive effect on my feelings about learning Python later, when I was offered the professional opportunity.
The conclusion during COVID was that the stress tests were too stringent and COVID was much better for the banks than worst case stress tests.

Basically stress tests simulate large drops in asset values, but during COVID the trading desks made bucketloads of money when volatility was high. The financial sector is pretty resilient these days, the risky stuff mostly moved off bank balance sheets into private funds not subject to the same regulatory requirements.
Especially required seeing that I had three fraudulent Amazon Prime subscription payments on my credit-card last week, two on which were on the same day.

My recommendation to all: Check your credit-card transactions for those small amounts of money that are the harbingers of your card getting cleaned out.

You could maybe use a 'scream test': If you find an unknown transaction, charge it back through your bank. The scream will come from a real seller, you'll most likely get silence from a fraudulent one.
My point exactly. Nothing is natural for humans except for perhaps some tree fruits from Africa.

The program here is very chill and fun, but the kids are still expected to be sailing properly. Racing focused classes are available if desired.

The highlight of the summer was when SailGP was in town and they decided to get a closer look during the practice sessions. They got so close to the boats going 50+ knots that the course organizers went out to yell at them to get away.
Nonsense. All they'd have to do is have $20 billion in cash to satisfy $20 billion withdrawals. It doesn't mean anything about the rest of the money. The next $1 withdrawn could bankrupt them for all we know.
Food for thought: lead-acid batteries are the most recycled things on earth, at around 99%. Probably because they tend to be large, so they have a high volume to surface ratio, and are relatively simple and easy to recycle compared to more modern battery types, and many automotive related companies are required to have recycling programs for them, and they've been around for many decades ...
I'd imagine "we don't really want more ICU patients than strictly necessary right now" played a role. Any other easily answerable questions? You're batting 0-3 for stumpers thus far.
