This was likely tuberculosis and not lung cancer. Autopsy series have shown that TB is easily confused with cancers. 40 years ago the diagnostic tools available were very crude.

There is a crackpot promoting weird cancer therapies in my country who claims to have cured himself of metastatic sarcoma, but a peer reviewed medical analysis of the details suggests that was also TB.
Ask HN: My website just disappeared from DNS. What can I do?
My website -- http://xordle.xyz -- has just disappeared from DNS. It's been working fine for months.

My registrar is Google Domains; there's no errors reported in the DNS settings or anywhere else. But Google's own DNS query at https://dns.google/query?name=xordle.xyz returns a status code 3 -- NXDOMAIN, or no such domain.

I tried transferring to a different registrar but it can't be transferred on account of it "not existing". I tried using Google Support; they weren't helpful in the slightest.

Do I have any options aside from just getting a new domain name if it doesn't resolve itself quickly?
A while back I found in his wiki article that when he worked for the Kaiser Wilhelm institute he had visited Japan and written some racist things in his personal notes. It was oddly reassuring. Einstein, probably the most deified scientist out there, had attitudes and behaviors completely typical for his time period and social status.
Information on a public website is public until it is taken down or the information changed. The Internet Archive removes an individuals control over when the information remains public. This is privacy. We might be caught naked, and we can't unsee what has been seen, but it is a basic human instinct to draw the curtains and contain further damage. Perfectly innocent individuals suffer because the IA rules are designed around edge cases where public figures try to hide misdeeds.
Yes, precisely this. Most people are not moral philosophers, so I don't expect them to have a nuanced view of moral problems (this includes people who are pro-choice).

Abortion epitomizes a hard moral problem, and frankly I doubt we'll ever be able to solve moral quandaries the way we can solve differential equations. However, I have zero desire in having the solutions legislated based on some group's religious beliefs.
Because REST as designed while it might be some academic ideal, doesn't make sense in distributed computing performance point of view.

Needless network requests to understand what a REST API is supposed to be able to do, and then navigate through their description, until the actual call can be finally be done.

And then even if it isn't pure REST, we have all those global warming contributions out of needless parsing.

Thankfully with the uptake of gRPC we are getting back to protocols where network performance is taken into consideration.
I think this talk about tracing traffic could well be missing a bigger point. The last time I left a Glassdoor review I had to provide a company email address to do it. This means, although publicly my review was anonymous, Glassdoor knew (and very likely still know[0]) exactly who left it. If they have to hand over email addresses to the company taking legal action there's no need to get clever with traffic tracing.

[0] Even with GDPR and similar legislation all they need is a valid business reason and they can keep my PII.

Glassdoor can also choose to just hand over that information when requested, as well.
I personally adore Pages and especially Numbers.

I spend most of my professional life designing and dealing with spreadsheets and Numbers’ table-based paradigm is simply orders of magnitude more elegant that Excel’s everything-is-a-sheet approach. Why? I can modify tables (inserting row and columns, changing attributes, & cetera) without affecting other tables.

The one thing I miss and that infuriates me is Numbers’ lack of iterative solutions to circular references. Circular references are bad, you say, and I agree, but unfortunately in corporate finance they’re unavoidable when creating business plans because short-term debt depends on interest to be paid and interest to be paid depends on short-term debt. That means that Numbers can only take me so far until I have to export to .xlsx and then slog it out with Excel from then on. It’s a real pity they keep adding useless (to me) features such as collaborative editing and so forth when adding this functionality would take the whole application from being a toy to being a professional instrument.

One can hope, I guess.

There's no trick in the analysis. Only in the axioms.

If you have two assets that really do have zero expected return but vary independently, it's trivial to see that moving equity from the one that went up to the one that went down (or went up less) will net you a return.

The 'trick' if you will is that there aren't actually any uncorrelated assets.
A solution I like is just two tiers. Full price and discounted price. People from certain countries get the discounted price.

Then figure out a line where it's worth discounting. Perhaps 5x lower purchasing power than say, the US. Maybe a third tier if it's 15x difference, though I doubt it's that bad.
Actually the probabilistic interpretations of quantum mechanics are far easier to use than the deterministic ones
Try to register an email address using a host that won't have you flagged as a malicious user should you use an account with that host to sign up for major company's services like Glassdoor. It's virtually impossible to use Tor to register an email address without activating JavaScript, and the email hosts that allow it are very sketchy, and my personal suspicions are that many of them are blatant honeypots.
How? Google isn't helping.

Great read. Friends is the best way to achieve just about anything.

"The FDA does not maintain a standard of identity for either "pasteurized prepared cheese product", a designation which particularly appears on many Kraft products, or "pasteurized process cheese product", a designation which appears particularly on many American store- and generic-branded singles. Products labeled as such may use milk protein concentrate (MPC) in the formulation, which is not listed in the permitted optional dairy ingredients. The desire to use inexpensive imported milk protein concentrate is noted as motivation for the introduction of these and similar terms, and for the relabeling of some products."

"After an FDA Warning Letter protesting Kraft's use of MPC in late 2002,some varieties of Kraft Singles formerly labeled "pasteurized process cheese food" became "pasteurized prepared cheese product", Velveeta was relabeled from "pasteurized process cheese spread" to "pasteurized prepared cheese product", and Easy Cheese from "pasteurized process cheese spread" to "pasteurized cheese snack"."

Or;

"What Is American Cheese? Well, as you might have guessed, it's not actually cheese—at least, not legally. The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk."

I'd assume 20% covers payment processing fees, collecting VAT/etc where appropriate, and so on.

As a comparison, Leanpub charges 20% for books/courses (not sure if those courses are on par with the features offered by tigyog). You'd get better pricing with Gumroad, but no interactive features on that platform. 20% is more than fair in my opinion.

Forced conscription of soldiers. Men literally lose their freedom for long periods of time and are forced to follow orders and charge into battle and risk being killed by the enemy (or by friendly fire or other accident). Survivors often suffer from permanent damage, including physical trauma (e.g., lost limbs and organs) and mental trauma like PTSD.

I am. The core app is a desktop Electron app with a .Net 6 backend. There's some communication with a web api, also written in .Net 6 and hosted on Azure, but the desktop app is the heart of the product.

Even though it's a cross platform Electron app I haven't built the Mac version yet - so I can't answer yet for any issues that might pop up there. (Only reason being I haven't got around to buying a Mac to test it on.)

Two reasons for using .Net. The first was it's what I've used most in the day job. Second is that a core sdk I need to use inside the app is .Net. Rolling my own in a sexier language would have added months or years to the development time.

It Depends.

Any f-droid app that depends on location uses the standard android location APIs. That means you're submitting what RF networks (mobile and wifi) are visible, and Google then passes back an approximate location. Once you have a good GPS lock, the same data is submitted to Google again for inclusion in their database.

If you avoid installing Google Play services, you'll have to use a framework like microG that re-implements the Google APIs. microG lets you plug in a number of backends, with a default of sending the same data to Mozilla Location Services instead of Google. You can easily turn this off and use local-only location providers that either build their own database any time you have a GPS lock, or use downloads from opencellid.

> so they remain in power no matter how extreme their positions

If you watched actual Republican primaries, as opposed to reading about scary Republicans on Twitter, you'd see this is wildly inaccurate - there is substantial variety among Republican positions, and there are things which different Republican voters (gasp! Republicans voter can differ!) are willing and not willing to tolerate. Which kinda would be expected from a party uniting tens of millions of people, if you think about it a bit...

> Maybe also flying under your radar is a complete disdain among many Republicans for the concept of elections and democracy as a concept.

This is also wildly false - if anything, Republicans are very upset right now exactly because they feel the concept of elections is under attack. Whether it is true or not, it's exactly the opposite of what would happen if they disdained the concept of elections.

> and they are stacking the deck to make sure they never have to lose an election again

This canard is dusted off on every election, and it is as false today as it was first time when it was invented. Nobody is ensuring "they never have to lose an election again", however sweet that may sound to a partisan ear, and it's not possible for Republicans even more given that Democrats almost exclusively control large population centers. Yes, there are places where Republicans routinely win (as there are places where Democrats routinely win) - it's not a nefarious conspiracy, it's a demographic fact. But this will never become everywhere, elections in the US in general has always been competitive, and remain so.

> Last time they lost an election they literally plotted and attempted to execute a coup.

No they did not. They had a protest. Which led to nothing except Democrats trying to milk it for the last drops of that sweet partisan outrage juice for the last year and a half. That's all there was.

> Now they are trying to make what they did in 2020 legal.

What they did in 2020 - namely protesting - already is legal. What some of them did - like fighting with the police, stealing things and vandalizing things - is not legal, and nobody is trying to make it legal.

> What do you think happens next? Genuine question there.

Next there will be 2022 elections where Democrats suffer some serious drubbing due to Presidential party routinely suffering drubbing in the midterms, compounded by dismal performance of the current President and generally unfavorable surrounding conditions. Some Democrats (not the smartest ones) will scream the democracy is dead in the US and fascism has been finally installed, and this is the last elections ever. Then there would be 2024 elections as usual, with the usual appropriate screaming and running around from parties involved. I have no idea who would win, but I am sure it'd be as close as ever, and whatever party wins, the other party would claim the election has been stolen and the democracy in the US has ended and fascism has been installed. The democracy will continue as it did for the last 250 years.
There are very few thin and light laptops that can reach thermal equilibrium with their CPUs boosting and under 100 % load. The M2 Air is no different from the M1 Air or any other competitor, it even throttles LESS than the M1 Air.

This whole thing just doesn't make sense, according to the youtubers the M1 Air was half computer and half the Second Coming of Christ (and it's a lovely machine, I have one), and then the next generation comes, IMPROVES both the performance and the thermal behavior, and suddenly there's an issue.

This feels very wrong - taxing someone for a potential benefit when it is not proven that such benefit exists.

You can make emergency calls without a SIM card. The phone identifies itself to the network (with IMEI), even if there is no SIM. The telcos, obviously, map IMEIs to SIMs. (Perhaps needless to say, but for basic operational purposes they have to quite efficiently triangulate your position, to know which cell tower to instruct your phone to use.)

Having no SIM does not help you conceal your phone's location at all, only perhaps to make it harder to map it to your identity.

I don't know if any location data might leak in airplane mode, but I would not be surprised if some did, for example, through NFC or Bluetooth.

I'm not arguing EE is better than SE or otherwise. My point is specifically that EE has both more complexity and stricter constraints, and both unavoidable due to the nature of it being mechanical as opposed to ideal. Yes, in SE you also have complexity, but you can abstract it away with many tricks like isolating side effects and writing pure functions that are easy to reason, re-running from clean slate at will at little cost or even running your code anew at every request, letting things fail completely and be sure it's cleaned up reliably, etc. In EE, you have enormous implicit state that you can't ignore, the global of time and everything else all at once you must juggle.

It may be related to a contrast between American English an British English. American English speakers will often use adjectives in place of adverbs when speaking colloquially, e.g. "That tastes real nice" instead of "That tastes really nice". The same is the case with "good" and "well". This does not usually happen in British English, other than by modern American cultural influence.

I do not see the connection, unless you are just talking at some useless-ly high level of "a trading strategy that isn't guaranteed to win" (though the way in which it fails isn't at all the same: it isn't that you go insolvent but that you made the wrong bet about the correlation of the assets), but that's me being extremely uncharitable and so maybe you are seeing something I am not. The mechanism is essentially unrelated, the goal is somewhat different, who does it is certainly different (at this is the core of market making and portfolio diversification, so smart people do this all the time)... I just don't see why you are saying that unless you are just trying to trivialize the result (but again: this is me being extremely uncharitable, so please push back if you are onto something).
