My question is how do over the counter hearing aids get adjusted? Currently I go to an audiologist who fine tunes my hearing aids to my specific hearing loss.

Will pharmacists do this now? Or are patients still expected to bring over the counter hearing aids to audiologists for those adjustments?
Neither are much better than ammonia toxicity wise, and with methanol vs ammonia, at least ammonia makes you really really want to leave the area before it sends you blind or kills you.
Wonderful, this market has been out of whack for a while. They've been sold like a medical device instead of a piece of technology, 5-10x markup. Having fittings and prescriptions done in-store induces learned helplessness and is an excuse for cartel pricing, just like with eyeglasses.

Chase’s version was called QuickPay and was rebranded to Zelle around that time. Until its rebranding it was only available to transfer between two Chase accounts if I remember correctly. I used it to pay rent from 2014 to 2017.
It's not actually secure and human meaningful. There are many possible domains at least as legit looking which are not owned by facebook, and so you must either have the machine remember that facebook is facebookcorewwwi.onion and not wwwfacebookcomyz.onion (secure) or trust the first domain that looks legit (human-meaningful).

We took this approach with the first version of a from-scratch hypervisor at my last job. Portions of the hypervisor were separated into different shared libraries and we wrote a custom ELF loader to do the relocations. It was interesting but ultimately it was scratched in favor of a large static binary.

I'm glad the FDA is finally moving on this - though what President Biden said is somewhat specious.

Biden: "This action makes good on my commitment to lower costs for American families, delivering nearly $3,000 in savings to American families for a pair of hearing aids and giving people more choices to improve their health and well-being."

However, this is really due to the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act that was signed into law in 2017 by President Trump.

There would be no shame in Biden praising an action made by Trump or in Trump praising an action made by Obama.

That is going away fast. The last time I signed for a credit card was...in Canada. I use a credit card literally everywhere. I do not use my bank account for anything beyond paying the card and 2 other bills. I do this for rewards, payment protection, zero transaction fees (including foreign, like those in Canada, a country in which I visit often). The credit card gets paid off once a month directly from my bank account.

The only exception to this is restaurants, however that is also the case in Canada, and even if I use my debit card, they still bring me the reader, make my stick my card in, print the receipt, and sign by hand.

Where are you in Canada? I regularly visit parts of eastern Canada, including Toronto and Quebec.
They spent $27M to build 209 houses. That’s $245k/house and odd that their construction costs are so high.

Insane. In the States we have similar gouging with fees when you pay with a card, but some law states that a fee cannot be collected for checks. So I paid rent with a check for the majority of my adult life before Zelle came along even though the option to pay with a card was available.
If you get paid for discharge everyday for two hours you can buy a new power wall in under a year with how much you get paid. Not really a point for concern.

I was born in China and my family runs factories here for many years.

What you mentioned is true, the absolute majority of the supply chain of the big name companies are still in China, and many of the alternatives in Vietnam are somehow managed by PRC background capital.

However, it’s absolutely a good start. The eco mic crisis raising in China will be like the 1930s in US, if not worse. My family are actively searching for ways to selling out everything and move out the country but it’s clearly prohibited by the Gov. We are worrying it will eventually becomes a new Third Reich in near future, when the supply chain will be completely destroyed.

Air King makes one (9166F) that can be put in a window and will cool the air pretty quickly. I've barely ran the AC this year since I've started pulling in cold air at night and closing the windows in the morning.

"Software is never rewritten. Projects last longer than expected; programmers get bored or burned out; management moves on the newer challenges. The attitude of ‘good enough’ reflects reality.

Instead of being rewritten, software has features added. And becomes more complex. So complex that no one dares change it, or improve it, for fear of unintended consequences. But adding to it seems relatively safe. We need dedicated programmers who commit their careers to single applications. Rewriting them over and over until they’re perfect. Such people will never exist. The world is too full of more interesting things to do.

The only hope is to abandon complex software. Embrace simple. Forget backward compatibility." - Chuck Moore
I've been using nix2container[1] for awhile now. It looks like this depends on Docker, have you guys considered removing that dependency? It shouldn't be necessary to create an OCI compliant image with Nix.

Ideally, you should be able to do it yourself on your phone. It's not like it takes special training. Pick what frequencies to boost, try it out, make some different settings for loud parties/quiet conversation/whatever.

I would love to be able to punch my audiogram into my phone to get AirPods or similar to do the right amount of amplification.

I can hear almost nothing at many frequencies without amplification in my right ear but have normal hearing in my left. This means I can use a regular headset to hear well with my left ear or use Bluetooth on my one hearing aid to hear with my right ear.

I'd love to see some insight as to how they were able to generate that domain name. Surely if they can do that (years ago, even), then a well-funded adversary would be able to generate the same now, given enough time.

Maybe it took x thousands of compute years to generate the secret key for `facebokcorewww` - and they didn't care about the last character. But still, let's say you're a government agency with endless resources - how hard would it be to recreate that private key? If a private corp can do it once with finite resources - why can't you?

Was it is just a stroke of luck for those working on it? What are the chances?
After browsing this site for a couple of years, I made an account to reply to your comment and say, "This is exactly right" lol. I'm a teacher who uses Excel for basic stuff (power query, pivot tables), but I'm also using Excel as a "database", which is obviously not a good idea.

So here I am trying to take the next step and learn SQL along with good database design, but learning these things through Postgres is really not appropriate for someone like me. I think I have to swallow my pride and start with Access or something.
Did I pick the right database?

> there are practical limits to how high water can be pumped?

Well, no. The problems you see on your article really doesn't apply to their situation. (And it's a really small limit on the article, if it applied, we wouldn't be able to extract most of our oil or even water from some aquifers.)
Surprised someone mentioned these. I picked up 2 of them a while back when you could get them individually for ~$30. I'm using one at a vacation home with zigbee/zwave2mqtt which then lets me integrate it all into home assistant at the main house. Been super stable and small enough to tuck away in a closet.

Only downside is the limited 8gb storage, but it's enough for a minimal linux install with a couple containers. You just can't beat a regular x86 pc when it comes to just being able to install an up to date distro of choice.
NZ is where you want to hire remote staff. Our wages are low and so is our dollar. We speak the same language and have a very similar culture. The time zone is an issue but remote workers normally will do strange hours to make it work.
The more people do that the better life gets here in NZ so I'm a big fan. Our exports are mainly agricultural and tourism. Neither are high earners.

I would certainly agree first past the post is a deeply broken system. I’m strongly in favour of reform there, but am increasingly concerned that any replacement needs to be as simple a counting process as possible to ensure everyone fully grasps it. Nothing is worse for trust in the electoral process than distrust in the counting mechanism. If there is anything to be learned from 2020 it’s that elections are actually about showing who lost and not just who won. If people don’t agree on who lost chaos ensues.
If by distracted you means ‘occasionally pokes it when necessary for comfort when it’s safe’, and ‘operates it as a normal human being’ (including tweaking a mirror when you notice it’s not where you want to be able to see, including gasp while driving when safe) then the NTSB, every state and federal government, and 99% of the driving public says yes. Including me.

Seriously, do you think anyone actually is going to stop and pull to the side of the road to tweak their AC setting or change the channel on their radio unless it’s some crazy scenario where it’s actually not safe to do so?
That’s a great point. My hearing is fine but I have some brain thing that make it hard to understand voices in a crowd. My hearing is tested to be plenty sensitive.

A hearing aid would be great in party environments for me.

My father and my daughter have the same condition, so I’m reasonable certain it is inherited.

Software is becoming more accessible and more popular. More people can write code than ever before. People are launching companies by cobbling together libraries from Github. Students are learning javascript by playing in the debug console instead of paying attention in class. All of this means that yes, we will see more bad software. That's okay! Some of these people may even learn to write "good" software.

Well what I noticed was that the targets of the comments were an airport, soldiers, footballers and politicians. While most of the tweets were dumb, it’s also the case that it’s powerful people/institutions using the law to quash lower class folks.

In the US (still I hope) as none of these are calling for an immediate action against the targets, a non corrupt court here would have to let all of these go.

In other words, the UK law referenced is bunk; to take your analogy, it’s like they kept the bathwater but threw out the baby - over exuberant enforcement will only lead to MORE resentment, not less.

Would the dependency linter catch this? I assume yes?
> It's not like it takes special training.

I'm not an expert here but the small amount of digging I've done suggests the opposite. You can permanently damage your hearing if you tune the hearing aid wrong, and it's extremely fiddly (can take many sessions with a professional audiologist) to get things right.

I think this is still compatible with some adjustments being done on an app, and definitely with some set of "safe parameters" being available without prescriptions. I just want to push back a bit on the idea that what an audiologist is doing is trivial. I expect most people with severe hearing loss will still want to see a specialist. But _as long as the risks are understood_, more choices are better than fewer.

Sadly the limits on Zelle are too low to pay rent (at least on SF) and it lacks the ability to setup recurring payments (what in the U.K. we would call a standing order.)

BillPay seems the only viable option and that ends up with a physical paper check being mailed to your landlord every month so you have to set them off a few days early to account for possible delays in the mail.
But the number of power walls is not fixed, and going from 125MW to 12,500MW is only going to happen there are proper incentives from the grid.

And as it is, utilities in the CAISO are generally too fossilized and change averse to view behind the meter aggregation as something that they can benefit from, and they will likely instead fight it. Smarter utilities would see the opportunity and approach regulators with rules changes that profit everybody. Instead, we will need legislators to impost such schemes on regulators and utilities, as there is zero innovation among leadership of utilities, and regulators have zero capability for this too.

(Perhaps I exaggerate, SMUD is tiny but they may have the vision for at least part of this. Vermont's Green Mountain Power has the leadership that we need in California, though.)

A while ago, my friend's bag got stolen at a coffee shop. The security camera showed an old woman who just picked up his bag and left. The shop owner and the police didn't cooperate. At this point you might be waiting for something about AirTags saving my friend's ass, but nope, he didn't have one in the bag and his stuff is forever gone.

Moral of the story: Beware of the seemingly harmless people in public.
Perhaps, but the US has a very different journey. Canada for example has like 60 banks. The US has 10,000+ banks and credit unions, and probably 3x more when the system started.

I feel like a broken record mentioning that Costco sells high quality hearing aids for $700 each. Exams, fittings, adjustments, cleaning, and many repairs are free so long as you have a Costco membership. No membership is required for the exam.

Most people that need hearing aids that live near a Costco could already be saving thousands of dollars.

>when a rolling release breaks your computer

Which never happens, even on Arch, where packages aren't held back for 2 weeks like on Manjaro.

Both Arch and Manjaro have been way more stable for me than Ubuntu ever was, and I've used them for like 4 years now. It's counterintuivie, but newer packages seem to work better than older packages. My pet theory for this is that the devs spend most of their attention with the newest versions of their packages. Submit a bug for a DE, and they might tell you to install the newest version to replicate it there (yet you're on Ubuntu...).

I like getting newer packages (which work better) and DEs (which crash less -- see KDE Neon) and faster hardware support.

I'll never go back to a point release distro like Ubuntu or Debian. (Although, apparently, Fedora keeps their packages as new as my Arch system does, the last time I checked, so maybe that'd be an exception. :p)
