I don’t think there is great science on this but here’s a paper focusing on tactics to preserve fertility https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6626312/. It gives rates as high as 100% for mtf fertility (and as low as 25). And I may have missed it, but doesn’t seem to for trans men. Stories of trans men pausing hormones to have a kid are anecdotally pretty common though
It sounds like OP has a feature requester who is taking advantage of their passive nature. As you stated people want to avoid conflict, and based on what OP wrote it's obvious this person is taking advantage of that.

The only options here are to either ignore them or confront them directly. It helps that asking them for money for all this support they want, and then them refusing, vindicates you and allows you to just flat out ignore them.
There many CUSIPs (strings) that Excel with convert to numbers (scientific notation).
If you frequently make stupid typos perhaps you may enjoy writing lessons to go with the reading comprehension ones.
>Maybe I failed to express myself properly, but my point is that saying “X is bad.” (emphasis on the period) is not really saying anything.

This logic also works for "X is good." or "GraphQL is good". This doesn't really say anything either and is an equally garbage statement following your logic. But your biases focus on the "bad" because you have a bias towards GraphQL.

Either way I don't agree. Saying something like criminals are bad is not an invalid statement.

If you want an explanation you can ask for it. If you don't care to know about the explanation then you don't need to ask for it. But just because somebody makes a statement without an explanation doesn't automatically make it invalid.

For example "The plane is about to crash, please pull up." This is a statement without an explanation (emphasis on the period). Should I demand an explanation or comply without one? In your words, was this statement "really saying anything?" Yes it was.

When you come to threads on HN it's mostly people looking for confirmation of their biases. They don't realize it, but almost everyone is doing this. If you weren't biased you would ask for deeper explanations. You would try to unravel the other persons reasoning and understand it in such a way so that you find a mistake in his understanding or your own. That's mainly why I'm here, but this thread is littered with posts following the same logical path as you.
Umm, if you are treating them as text cells, then adding them would product 12345678 since you are concatenating strings. I just don't think there is any good solution for this, since it's effectively impossible to automatically distinguish numbers that the user wants to treat as strings (like a zip code) and numbers that should be treated as floats or ints.
Isn’t this argument a fancier version of “civilization is dumb”?
Which is a good thing, because REST is not that great outside basic CRUD apps with tiny models.
What's NR, what's a necronomicon and what's klaatu, barads and nikto.

I googled all these things and I can't still make any sense of your comment except that it's intentionally confusing with some popular fiction references?
It’s fine if they don’t want to support a 12 year old game, but then they should release one last update that removes all DRM and lets anyone who is willing to host the multiplayer infrastructure.

Or they should be required to tell you when you purchase it at what date multiplayer function will become unavailable so you can make an informed purchase decision. Perhaps they can give disclose a minimum service period and offer full refunds if they shut down before that date.
Insecure devs always obfuscate and try to hide the whole truth. It is a massive problem in tech.
Depends on the goal. Air burst optimizes for area of blast effect on the surface, ground burst is more effective against underground targets and causes way more fallout and contamination.
I wanted to run NetBSD as a daily driver but the Intel 3945ABG wifi performance was horrible, it disconnected after a few minutes with a fatal firmware error, there was no clean way to get it working again. I will try these versions. I went through FreeBSD and I liked it. I don't give up.
> But if elevators at typical office buildings or apartment complexes start doing this? We're doomed.

The high-rise building I worked in several years ago put ad screens in the elevators. No sound, fortunately - but still! Video ads in your face, on the way to work, on the way to lunch, up and down, over and over, every day? It was more than I could stand.

I bought a roll of privacy film, cut pieces sized to the screens, and kept them in my bag. Every time I was alone in the elevator, I'd pull one out and glue it to the screen. Ahh, tranquility: the ads dissolved into a meaningless colorful blur.

Of course the maintenance folks would scrape the film off whenever they found it, but I just glued it back on, over and over... for months.
You still can!

I was interested in a book that went for $120 on Amazon; a local shop ordered for me at $80 instead. It took about a week, so maybe a hair longer than Amazon. Oddly, I found the link directly from the publisher.
‘Cacator cave malum’: what collective latrines teach us about ancient Rome
I'm aware of the latest developments, but let's work through this.

There are basically two categories of Twitter shareholders: Those who are invested in the business's long-term success, and those who could care less about the business and want to dump the stock as soon as they can get a good price for it.

Right now, the latter category want the sale to go through so they can divest; they don't care if Twitter burns to the ground afterward.

But what is the outcome that people invested in Twitter's long-term success actually want? Twitter's lawyers are arguing that Musk is an incompetent businessman who made a really terrible knee-jerk decision, and in the same breath they're saying that he should be compelled to be made Twitter's new owner -- an unwilling, incompetent owner who will likely tank the business even if he doesn't make any more stupid decisions, just by virtue of how this all played out.

These people, one would think, would prefer to get the $1B parting fee and be done with Musk, even if that means passing up on the potential for a short-term gain that an outright sale might give them.

Similarly, in a romance, whatever short-term benefits you might get by having a wedding, they're never going to be worth the trouble if it means marrying a terrible person.
I was on Chrome iOS. Wonder if their mobile site has fewer ads.
I think `eval` along with `lambda` is slightly mind bending distinguishing feature of LISP/Scheme, but for sure, dedicated, optimized eval-less LISP/Scheme are possible and exist, if we consider s-expressions the distinguishing feature. Prolog is another language with elegant circular-meta-interpreters.
By the way, the symmetry breaking is U(1)*SU(2) -> U(1). Originally, U(1) is hypercharge generated.

And electromagnetic U(1) appears after the electroweak symmetry breaking. So that one is wrong too.

Also, how in Earth did he count 18 particles?
There's no reason to avoid overflow (nor any reason to make it signed since that would also be a concern these days) though.
Traditionally, nuclear is not dispatchable either, it's baseload, and in particular these SMRs are not dispatchable. There are a few variable output reactors in France, but they are very expensive. Molten salt reactors could perhaps have a thermal storage component, but...

Nuclear is "firm" in that its always running. This is a good characteristic. I'm more optimistic about advanced geothermal that has been developed in recent years, using the advances in drilling developed for fracking.

If we can use the waste heat from nuclear for something productive, like desalination, then I think it has a much better chance. But coastal communities will also have access to offshore wind, which has really high capacity factors and will be far far cheaper than nuclear could be.
Extreme talent is something you're born with, like much of identity. Why is selecting for one wrong, and the other right? Especially when selecting for identity will result in a final outcome that is preferred by some consumers of the orchestra?

I'm not super convinced by my own reasoning myself, but I can make a better steelman case for this argument than the typical "racism against groups we don't like is anti-racism" woke schlock I often read. The argument the article makes is simple, plainly stated, free of bullshit, to the point.

Is this "curly exhaust" idea a new thing?

"Why are the 2023 Acura Integra's Exhausts Are Shaped Like Curly Fries?"

https://www.integratalk.com/threads/why-are-the-2023-acura-i...

Excerpt:

By snaking the exhaust piping into that circular route, Honda is lengthening the exhaust pathway, lowering the resonance frequency without using a traditional muffler . Honda engineers tell us that the design as first installed in the Si also emphasizes the 300Hz to 600Hz frequencies "to deliver a more aggressive sound." Skipping the muffler, Honda also was able to achieve that sound with a 27-percent increase in exhaust flow.
Where/how do you read it? I would like to go back to it.
A guy I know (relatively skilled) spent a whole week setting up Linux on his laptop the other day. So I don't think it's always as predictable as to say there's never a challenge involved in 2022.
I have often wondered this about people doing the napping versus sleeping experiment. Euphoria makes you feel like you know so much more than you do.

I know of maybe one or two people who gave themselves cognitive tests during their experience. I don't recall the results but I clearly didn't take them seriously since I'm still unconvinced. I don't know about you guys but I tend to do better if I'm given the same kind of test three or four times. So if I were doing this experiment and my results stayed steady, I'd objectively be losing capacity versus the control.
> The logical problem with the argument Bernstein makes about NSA picking the least trustworthy scheme is that it applies to literally any scheme NIST picks. It's unfalsifiable.

That may be true in the strict sense, but in practice, I think there would be a material distinction between a NIST process of "we defer our decision to the majority opinion of a set of three researchers with unimpeachable reputations" (a characterization from another comment) and a process of "NSA said we should pick X."

In the strict sense, I can't trust either process, but in practice [edit: as an absolute layperson who has to trust someone], I'd trust the first process infinitely more (as I would absolutely distrust the second process).

> The funny thing here is, I actually do accept his logic, perhaps even more than he does.

That's actually what I got from your other comments to this story. But that confused me, because it was also what I got from the article. The first two thirds of the article are spent entirely on presenting NIST as an untrustworthy body based on decades of history. Apart from the title, PQC isn't even mentioned until the last third, and that part, to me, was basically "NIST's claims of reform are invalidated if it turns out that NSA influenced the decision-making process again".

My vibe was that both of your positions are more or less in agreement, though I have to say I didn't pick up on any accusations of corruption of a PQC researcher in the article (I attribute that to me being a layperson in the matter).
> You know that "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was originally coined as an absurd impossibility, right?

Sure, it was coined that way. But remember that Schrödinger's cat was coined as an absurd impossibility too, to delegitimize the Copenhagen interpretation, which is nevertheless widely accepted today.
Researching Open Source Apps for XSS to RCE Flaws
Most static languages only have compile-time type checking, because storing and checking runtime type information is usually not worth the cost. The problem with your example is the deserializer, which in a static language would be generated and include those runtime checks. I'm sure something like this exists for Typescript, it's too common a problem not to have been solved.
TrueBuilt Software | Founding Engineer - Fullstack | REMOTE (USA only) | Full Time

Tech Stack: Typescript + React + Next.js + Prisma

TrueBuilt Software is a recently funded (pre-seed) startup looking to build the industry leading pre-construction platform. Our initial focus is on subcontractor management & estimation for General Contractors in residential & commercial spaces.

I am looking to hire a total of 3 founding engineers (we have 1 already!) to help us build the MVP & set the foundation for the engineering culture at the company.

The type of person we are looking for has a relentless focus on solving the customers' problems, is excited to learn all parts of the stack, and is excited to pair program with like-minded software developers.

I would love to tell you more over a 15 minute phone call! Either email me directly: julian@truebuiltsoftware.com or apply via Greenhouse: https://boards.greenhouse.io/applytotruebuilt/jobs/458886600...
Matano is designed specifically for petabyte-scale security log analytics use cases, so performance and costs are a top priority. Our data pipeline borrows from Vector's Rust based data transformation language [0] for maximal performance, with each parallel function invocation capable of processing upwards of 20MiB/s [1] thanks to auto-vectorizaton.

Roughly this comes out to $1/(TB/day) for ingest compute costs which is much cheaper than a commercial solution. We are
also working on moving over our Lambda's to ARM for even better cost-effficency.

Oh, they absolutely justify it on the basis that if a CDN node is unstable they'll just fail traffic across to another node. And as a FreeBSD developer I have to say that it's great having the OS (or at least the parts Netflix uses) stress tested -- you can't reproduce "1/3 of all internet traffic" in a test lab.

The reason I think they're nuts isn't stability but rather security. I guess since they're shipping these boxes around the world there's nothing really sensitive on them; but still, if I were in their shoes I would be worried about security bugs being introduced.
Maybe there is not enough existing Omniman/Homelander imagery to draw from.
A graphql query is usually sent inside a JSON document and a graphql response is usually a JSON document sent over HTTP with compression. You do have to upload the query but you can select only the data you need, and you can also do that in a single query compared to a classic almost REST API. That’s the part that saves bandwidth, sometimes.
An array of SMRs is dispatchable even though a single SMR is not. It’s a scheduling problem.
I usually save my bookmarks on the Wayback Machine just so there's at least one copy out there.
I've read it, but its arguments are still at odds with what's done based on it.

e.g., the Cass Review explicitly says "The rationale for use of puberty blockers at Tanner Stage 2 of development was based on data that demonstrated that children, particularly birth-registered boys who had early gender incongruence, were unlikely to desist once they reached early puberty" and only recommends reviewing puberty blockers for AFAB people.

Yet your comments and british politics instead call for ending the use of puberty blockers for everyone, including AMAB people (and the recent tavistock case actually accomplished that).

Most of the other issues the report finds are entirely local to the UK, due to the way healthcare systems differ heavily between countries, and can't be applied elsewhere.

I'll be entirely honest, the british system is an absolute mess and needs to be entirely rebuilt (and any british trans person is going to agree), but just stopping all care entirely for years until a new system exists is the worst possible option, and one that's going to cost countless lives.
I'm on Linux and have to get a rtw8852 driver from some random-ish gitHub repo to get WiFi in a recent Lenovo.

Does this mean WiFI is only for Win/Mac?
Accidents happen of course, but I'm personally skeptical that the occasional accidents are responsible for the majority of masks "in the wild", as opposed to intentional littering, e.g., dropping the mask on the ground when someone walks out of a building.

Whatever your opinion of masks, I don't think that public health policy should be determined by whether people are littering. We should take measures to stop littering in any case. Also, I see no reason to prioritize bird health over human health (though we generally shouldn't have to choose one or the other).
There are details on what is working and what isn't for a slew of models on the FreeBSD wiki:

The author also doesn't realize that they're still files! Putting the file in a database doesn't change its nature, it's just storing it in a relational database instead of a hierarchical one.

If you store a jpeg file in a database, is it no longer a jpeg file?

Same as Fortnite on iOS. Epic couldn’t upgrade but at least it was playable as an old version. Then one day Apple removed the app from the purchased history so you can’t download it anymore. Unless you had it on your device or you have the ipa file on your computer.
I am using freebsd since version 8 for all my server needs (was using linux, but got repelled by its chaos which I dont care about on my laptop, but it pisses me off on server).

Some more points:

- bhyve, developed by netapp, they ditched all old technologies support and it works faster on my i5 server than kvm on my i7 laptop. Snapshoting using ZFS is not a feature to discard either.

- FIBs, absolute miracle routing tables that you can apply to whatever software, define the routes as fib 1 (lets say it is openvpn) and then use them as simply as `setfib 1 bash` to use them in all child processes

- backward compatibility, this is where linux is really horrible, there was an article about compiling binary on freebsd 2 and running it on freebsd 10. Try this on linux, binaries are not compatible even on minor versions.

- jails... docker? Really? Jails are 15+ years old implementation, kernel supported, that stood test of time, actually being a security feature. It runs circles around the docker in everything except how much it was adapted by community. I never understood why people rather used an inferior solution like docker.

- not to mention all the chaos in linux ecosystem, in next sub-version, the commands can have completely different switches,...

I will never understand on what technical merits people are using linux for servers except the support-ability of hardware. Due to the whole show that linux is getting we would prosper as a humanity by ditching the linux. Unfortunately, marketing is worth more than anything.

(I do understand that people will not agree due to their preference, but try to use it. I doubt you will prefer linux ever again.)
The UX gets a big fat negative point for hijacking the scrollbar in a negative way; they make it very skinny, on Firefox it's particularly obnoxious.
The problem is that what we're attempting to explain is what kind of information is represented by the cookie. Saying that it's "text" only helps if the listener understands that this means "plain text" and what is meant by that term.

If you give me a piece of paper folded into a hat, do you get the hat back from me? Not if what we mean by "a piece of paper" is "the information contained in the writing on a piece of paper where each number corresponds to a particular symbol in a table".

I think that's because the OP's handle is "EmilyHughes". Is "Emily" a name that's common for males?

I know some English names can go both ways like Evelyn or Shannon etc, but is Emily one of them?
It would be nice if they were to study the effects of different doses of psilocybin directly. Could feed into possible depression treatments in the future... if somebody is trying to treat depression with psilocybin, they probably want a predictable dose that you can't really get eating mushrooms directly.
It will be a win when it's on the grid and running.

Producing a design has never been a challenge for nuclear power, that's the easy part. The hard part has been building the designs.
No one is saying that the grid should be fully nuclear. What we are saying is that wind and solar require another technology to pick up the slack when they have low generation. Currently, that is gas or coal in most places. In the future, it may be large scale long term storage, but that doesn't generally exist.

The only green technology we know about that could replace coal and gas as slack for wind and solar today is nuclear.

Does nuclear cost more than wind and solar? Irrelevant, since wind and solar can't power the whole grid. Does it cost more than coal and gas? Irrelevant, since those need to be stopped or the effects of global warming will destroy our industrial life in 50 years.

Does nuclear cost more than large-scale long-term storage? This is an interesting question, and we don't yet have a good answer, as no one has really tried creating storage for hundreds of megawatts for something like half a year. There is one such storage location in Switzerland, and in fa t it took 14 years to build compared to South Korea's newest nuclear reactor taking 10 years (while also producing 1350MW compared to Switzerland storing 950MW). Is that representative of such costs? Probably not, but who knows.

Well, I should mention hydro as well, though that is very geographically dependent, so it's often not an option at all.
IANAL, but I think it makesMore sense if you separate it into:

1. due diligence as a buyer (contract) to review additional information, ask questions etc

2. using public information to purchase as an investor (he was) for a public company regulated by SEC

I think the claim is not that he has the right to #1 (he didn’t) but that #2 was false and has been false.

No idea if contract laws let #2 get him off the hook though
There might be a subreddit for your specific business-facing role, e.g. /r/ProductManagement and /r/FPandA are both pretty good in my experience.
Keep in mind this is study is evaluating the claims that microdosing lead to specific outcomes such as enhanced wellness and cognitive enhancements, which people seek out while microdosing. That's different from using strong doses of psychedelics to, say for example, break entrenched thought patterns (addiction, depression, OCD).

In the former case, a positive outcome is expected and therefore negative outcomes are in a sense less tolerable, especially since a false positive would lead to people repeatedly microdosing over an extended period of time, to their long-term detriment.

In the latter case, a "negative experience" does not preclude getting the desired results. And an acute negative experience in a one-time dose may be tolerable when contrasted with the long-term severity of the pathology it is meant to treat.
