Yeah no, I am going to ask for a cite if you reference a study.

Looks like the first study is for adolescent-onset usage of cannabis and they were unable to show any long term effects for adult-onset users after cessation of use, even in this observational study.

This tracks with my general understanding of the literature, and it seems like this does not really apply to an adult who has substituted cannabis for alcohol.

This hit HN two days after my comment, so for anyone else who stumbles across this thread, here is a link to another HN thread where people discuss “body doubling” and similar websites/services to help: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33478562
Kinda, but that’s not the full story. They didn’t realize the foam was physically capable of producing that damage. For one, the deltaV was higher than previous incidents because of when it occurred in the flight profile. And secondly, the foam demonstrated unknown characteristics at those speeds. They didn’t find that out until they tested the case afterwards and, since they couldn’t reproduce the effect, they basically said “let’s turn it up to 11 for shits and giggles and see what happens.” And voilà, the foam suddenly acted in an unexpected way that produced more damage.

It wasn’t really a “beancounter” issue. It came from the fact that we have imperfect models of physical systems and sometimes we encounter issues outside the boundaries of those model assumptions.

This paper discusses a method to perform polymerase chain reaction at constant temperature without requiring the high-low temperature cycling in a thermocycler machine.

I (mid 30s) have been on Finasteride for a couple years. No side effects whatsoever (healthy sex life, no depression, etc.) and it seems to have significantly slowed down my progression. I do not take Minoxidil because it would consume too much of my time, and am not comfortable with the oral version.

If Finasteride continues working for a few more years I might consider a FUE transplant to restore a bunch of density. I consulted with a top hair transplant surgeon (very famous and pricey, with a one year-long backlog) and he told me Finasteride is by far the most effective, and time-sensitive, treatment one can start to mitigate the problem. In his experience of 20+ years as surgeon administering Finasteride to 1000s of patient, he said the number of people exhibiting side effects is consistent with the published research during clinical trials, i.e. very very low. That being said, each person clearly has a different appetite for "risk".

He said I should not necessarily be in a rush with the transplant considering my situation, and that as long as I keep using Finasteride and it works it will keep my options open in the future for a transplant.

I'm also not single and my partner actually suggested multiple times she doesn't care about my hair, I just do like my hair and will explore all options this world has to offer before giving up :-)

>In 2020, over 60% of launches to low Earth orbit resulted in a rocket body being abandoned in orbit

>In the USA, the Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices (ODMSPs) apply to all launches and require that the risk of a casualty from a reentering rocket body is below a 1-in-10,000 threshold4. However, the US Air Force waived the ODMSP requirements for 37 of the 66 launches conducted for it between 2011 and 2018, on the basis that it would be too expensive to replace non-compliant rockets with compliant ones

I do think China's space program is more irresponsible than USA/EU launches based on some of the debris fall, but blaming uncontrolled re-entry seems like the wrong thing here
“python library datetime” gets the results you’re looking for—but mostly by virtue of this not being a way anyone ordinarily thinks of describing it, so it knocks the irrelevant results down in the rankings. I think there are a couple of things going on here:

- The ranking algorithm I’m using isn’t great at distinguishing pages about a topic from pages which merely mention a topic in passing.

- Because the Python docs are versioned, the PageRank they deserve is spread out over several URLs and they appear less relevant than they really are.

I have plans to fix both of these problems, but they’re pretty involved and I haven’t had the time to dig into the matter yet. For the moment, it’s definitely a gamble whether the results will be any good: sometimes they’re great, and other times they’re completely useless. (There’s a reason I put links to other search engines at the bottom of the results page!)

Beware of a false dichotomy, how about pursuing two prongs in parallel and see what works out best/first:

1) Brush up on skills, algorithms, data structures, leetcode, interviewing, etc, and maybe you'll end up with a high paying code monkey # 478758 at FAANG.

2) Provide more value to your employer, take on more important, strategic projects and tasks, and get further raises, promotions, become a manager of some juniors, etc.

This might mean you have to:

* work on-site if that's what they want / prefer.

* become involved in interviewing people, hiring, eventually managing junior folks.

* find a way to do more main product / web page work, if that's what the company's product / core business is.

* say no to more and more reports, ask for someone junior to hand off to, automate, offload, provide self-service tools, etc.

* build connections with non-tech people as well as tech people, probably onsite whenever possible.

* watch out for the trap of being grumpy about your situation, you are not a victim. if you want the responsibilities and big $$$, you have to be to showing that you are ready and interested, and not waiting around, working remotely, doing the same stuff year over year, in a comfort zone.
I think China’s goal of annexing Taiwan is more due to principle/propaganda and military/strategic reasons than anything economic. Presumably they’d rather avoid destroying Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, but I doubt that’s their main concern.

Residential water use is not the problem. Not even remotely. The penultimate problem is agriculture, and the singular ultimate problem is, seriously, cows. They can screw around with minor adjustments here and there, but the easiest and best solution is to adjust population diet, curb agricultural greed and entitlement, massively reduce the population of cows, raise the price of beef and tax it.

The average American eats 55lbs. of beef a year, 4.5lbs. a month, over a pound a week. I guess we can wait until they all have massive coronaries, but it would be better to just stop this madness and restrict these eaters to 3 quarters of a pound of beef a week.

It's pretty straightforward: you either click on their profile or (if you know someone's username@server via some other medium), search for them on your 'home' server and you'll see their profile. Then just click the 'follow' button.

Under the covers this sets up the federated follow relationship, but the UX feels the same as following someone on twitter.

There is one slightly more complicated scenario; if for some reason you're exploring a different server and find someone there you want to follow. In that case you still click the follow button but have to provide _your_ username@server string which triggers the necessary back-and-forth to get the follow relationship set up.

I can't remember if it was that book, or another that referenced it, but the fame of "Florence Nightingale" has been linked to the use of the telegraph to bring back news from a previous war in Crimea:

> I also gain a sense that the time was ripe for change to the nursing profession – and that Florence Nightingale sparked a revolution in health care that was waiting to happen (prior to the Crimea, British women had not served in military hospitals). Newspapers and improved communication raised public awareness of the conditions of wounded soldiers in Crimea, and the nursing profession was gradually becoming more respected. But the museum also leaves the impression that it was more than just a case of her being in the right place at the right time. Her combination of intellect, fierce sense of vocation (fuelled by her religious faith), and her well-connected family background, meant perhaps that only Florence Nightingale could have shaped the nursing profession so effectively in that era.

The book where I read about this linked it to e.g. photos and videos from Vietnam affecting US public perception of the conflict and generally the better and rawer the communications from the war, the better it gives you an honest angle on it compared with the official propaganda.
> But... what's the alternative? How are you going to tell millions of people "we'd like you to stop investing in the market/deny you access to the chance for 6-10% index-fund-level returns because you're driving valuations up"?

You don’t need to tell them to stop. If the sole thing pumping these stocks up is excess savings as soon as the economy slows down it’s not going to be sustainable. Some of these stocks will go down as people remove their money from the market and people will lose money. That’s the heart of Burry warning.
It's theoretically possible, but not really if you're honest.

People have gotten used to the isolation, so they're not gonna enjoy it if you randomly invite yourself literally every day of the week.
You'll need like-minded friends and that's not something you can really "just decided" to change.

I started to lose my hair earlier than I cared, so I started cutting my hair rather short to deal with it. I met my partner around this time, but we were both in other relationships. A few months later, I finally decided to shave my head, and only after that did my partner think I looked good. Maybe this will work for you if you haven't gone down this route already.

I'd go with pleroma then.

A thing to understand is this discover ability problem applies to all software on the network. You can subscribe to relays on your server when it's running to enable yourself to discover more content, and then the more you interact with people from across the network the more your server will become discoverable.
> Giving things away is a massive pain in the ass.

I give things away on Craigslist and sell things on there too. It is pretty simple.. put up good pictures, good descriptions, and treat the people who are picking your unwantables as people who are doing you the favor of taking those items off your hands.

It’s quick.

Damn, I never thought of doing that!
IIUC the point is that index funds abstract the price of some stocks even further from earnings. Because a large percentage of the trade volume in those stocks comes purely from the index fund trades, rather than direct trades that would cause proper price discovery. So when the ETF bubble bursts, those stocks will see and even larger correction down than otherwise.

Happy to be corrected though.
I was hoping this would be a good gateway to learning the math and converting that into the code. But I'm lost after a few paragraphs. It would be much longer but is there an explanation that doesn't skip the math explanation, perhaps more visually? This notation is not familiar to me probably because I haven't done college math in over twenty years (even though I did well at the time in higher level classes for my computer science degree).
That makes sense, but my case is before I know who to follow. Is there any way to explore what’s going on on a server? Like browsing a news group on Usenet or checking a subreddit before subscribing?
Crooked star clusters may be a sign that Einstein’s gravity is wrong
This argument has been made back in 2016 and before. Many people who looked beyond those two metrics back then have become millionaires. You can say, of course, that these people just got lucky. Just as you can say that Burry was just unlucky that the market remained irrational for so long.

To me, when something consistently does not behave in the way that I predict that it should, then that’s a strong indicator to me that I must be overlooking something. There’s a fine line between saying that, in the short run, the market is just a voting machine rather than a weighing machine (which is true), and arrogance (which will cost you dearly in investing).
If hair treatments don't work, just completely shave your head or keep it trimmed really close - that's a look that can be pulled off by a lot of guys. What is generally considered unattractive (even if people are no longer allowed to say it out loud they still think it) is the male-patterned baldness look.

But just look at Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in the late 90s vs. today - they took different but IMO equally successful approaches to their hair loss. Musk went the hair plugs route while Bezos went the "shave it all off" route (of course I don't think the hormone therapy for Bezos hurt either).

Fair enough, but…

> DNSSEC condenses down to a single bit in the header that the server uses to say "trust me, I did DNSSEC".

…they did not ask (in the query) for DNSSEC verification, nor did they check the bit in the response.

In my experience, as another longtime user of vim and now using helix as my daily driver, it does take a bit of getting used to. But once you grok the whole idea of "selection first, then action", it becomes a bit easier to deal with. Honestly I think Helix is a better editor for those who are looking for the features of Vim but don't want to learn its esoteric syntax. I had to learn Vi/Vim in order to work with FreeBSD machines back in the day, and I had a whole book to reference its commands, so for me it's kinda second-nature. But for new users, I can imagine Vim not being the easiest thing to figure out.

I chose to take the plunge and start using Helix most of the time because:

1. It's like Vim/NeoVim enough that I didn't constantly get stuck. Most of the modal commands are similar to Vim, and you can always fall back to mouse-based selection and using normal commands like Ctrl/Cmd+V and Ctrl/Cmd+C if you don't want to get into the registers just yet.

2. Built-in support for the stuff I actually care about. LSP, fuzzy file picking, inline docs, IDE-like features like "go to definition", it's all included. And unlike NeoVim, it doesn't crash half the time when I'm working on TypeScript files (thanks Rust!). Haven't needed CTags at all since I started using Helix.

3. It's fast. Like, way faster than NeoVim or Vim unless you don't use any plugins. And without plugins, it looks great. Tons of themes to choose from, easy to switch them in the config, etc.

> I have a feeling that movement-action paradigm as opposed to action-movement paradigm of vim will have some tradeoffs with visualisation being a plus, and more advanced repetitions bring a negative, but I haven't totally thought this through.

I think the "advanced repetition" side of this is just going to look different, more like Emacs or Sublime Text in its functionality IMO. For example, the "Migrating from Vim" guide mentions global replace (https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/Migrating-from-Vi...). This doesn't really go into how it looks, but what happens looks a lot more like NeoVim than Vim. It's still just as fast as Vim to write these commands, albeit a different syntax that you have to get used to, but the benefit is being able to see what is happening to your file while it's happening, rather than after the fact or having to jump through every instance and "confirm" it (which is problematic on large files). In other words, I think this will be/is possible to do in Helix, but it will just look a little different than in Vim.
I also love how crows put a walnut on the road, wait until a car drives over it and cracks it open, and then they go collect it. Smort.
That's something people really need to know: finasteride / dutasteride literally modify your endocrine (hormonal) system. They block (most) DHT production which is a key hormone for male sexual health / mental well-being etc. so it should be surprising if you have don't have side effects. Having said that though, the side-effects aren't necessarily bad. You might feel different but it depends on the person if that difference is considered good or bad (I think most men would feel bad though?) Note that since conversion from testosterone to DHT is blocked, your DHT decreases but your testosterone increases.

TL;DR: discuss the possible implications (especially fertility-related!) of higher T and lower DHT with your doctor before taking finasteride / dutasteride

The same could be said of cryptographic schemes and hashes in general—always being broken!

However, that doesn’t mean TEE don’t provide a meaningful level of security, especially when combined with Shamir sharing between enclaves. Few actors will be able to compromise 100 TEEs distributed across the world and made by different vendors.

And just like cryptography, TEEs are getting better with every release, and will soon be very, very hard to break.

Eventually I hope to add theme support so that links can look how you want, but that's not a feature that I'll be working on super soon.

The affinity is just treated as a new character position. When caret moves through that position is doesn't "move", but instead draws tail differently. So it's just normal arrow key with one extra state to move through. That extra state only happens at formatting boundaries, so generally the cost isn't too much.

That sounds totally plausible. Do you know in which regions have fossil aquifers, and which have aquifers with reasonable inflow?

Also, I don't immediately see why depleting a fossil aquifer would be bad (as opposed to using coal or oil, which affects CO2 levels). Do I miss any side effects? If not, it might be reasonable to use fossil water as long as it is available to make a region liveable, but restrict its use for e.g. agriculture, to make the water last longer.
A wrinkle in this is that at the time, mono sound may have been the main intended output, and stereo mixes done at the time might have been considered novelty throwaways, but then later become the default option. So redoing such stereo mixes seems less bad, though I do generally seek out the mono option when it is available.
