He was selling across state lines. He's in Pennsylvania; the person who died from his contaminated dairy products was in Florida. That's why the federal government got involved. Interstate commerce is regulated.

You can buy raw milk in many states, but you can't ship it to another state.

I'm perfectly okay with all sales between states being regulated. Otherwise things could get really nasty, really fast. You only have to look at the history of food and medicine regulation to know why.

If WhatsApp had ads, people would quickly move to an alternative without… it has historical inertia but don’ does not really offer anything unique. Fb is in the same situation, meta has almost zero intrinsic value and is just coasting on having been the first mover, which will dissipate over time.
I think this was true ten years ago when laptops could not effectively drive two monitors, and had some serious deficiencies in the processor/ram/HDD space. I would put up with the duplicate desktop/portable system so that I had sufficient power when writing code.

These days, my work laptop happily drives a pair of QuadHD monitors, and even suffices for light gaming. I have yet to max out all the cores and ram. On top of that, I no longer have to deal with having two systems and all the data shenanigans that goes along with that.

Those places are really nice, but so busy. Hard to just walk in and get a table.

That street has really changed in the past 5 years. I really like the semi-new Indian place next to Bicycle Habitat. I don't know why they sell bagels and pizza, but their Indian food is pretty good.

Plus the summer streets are nice. Really give it a neighborhood vibe.
A lot of this really does come down to the fact they don't fly hub-and-spoke.

When planes and crew are delayed somewhere, it cascades down the entire line and all the aircraft and crews are now at the wrong airports.

With the hub system, they can do a "return to base" and try to go from there, but with Southwest not having a "base" they have to esentially halt the entire system and reboot it, which is what is going on here.

At least that's part of the mess.

Can he sell all of his stock while being a CEO of Tesla?
Great work is done in any field. It is just that the tech companies have a massive reach and can achieve that very quickly with very less investment. This makes them scale and create lots of hype which brings in a lot of money. Now this is the playbook of silicon valley. But there are software companies and engineers who do some amazing work but do not use the silicon valley way of generating wealth (which is mostly on paper). We never come to know about those companies and software engineers.

Any creation for positive impact on the world, whether engineering or humanities should be applauded and paid well. Unfortunately that rarely happens.

disagree, at a base level almost all engineering is systems analysis. Understanding a system of queues is not massively different from a system of forces or a system of chemical reactions in terms of what sort of thinking it takes.

Coding and using coding tools is a bump in the road and then eventually that all fades into the background and you’re thinking just in terms of systems again.
Our genetics probably won't die out. (There are a lot of us, and we're pretty resilient as a species.) But our culture? Our ideas, stories, values, history, even our technology stack? Those seem likely to be far more fragile that mere survival. I think "could be disruption" is selling it short - as a species, we've invested thousands of years into a particular pattern of fairly stable climate. Now, we're going to see that pattern change and simultaneously become less stable.

I don't think collapse of modern civilization within the next century is guaranteed, but it seems a dangerous level of possible.
They may be individually prepared appropriately but that is just because it copies other recipe texts. Perhaps it could be used to generate new ideas but so could a random recipe generator that picks three different cocktail ingredients and tells you to mix them. I'm not sure how this is any different than that, other than presentation.

Presumably actual recipes you see in a cookbook written by a person have been made in real life and the person could vouch for their quality or ease of making.

Does it have to be online? I'm in a similar field and I don't know how I would usefully spend even part of that on training. I'd rather have $5k worth of time off to pursue all the free learning options that are our there. To me, it's not really a field where paywalled information is the bottleneck.

If you can go to in person conferences, do that, for the networking.

Or depending on what kind of compute you have access to at work, just ask if you can have 5k of aws / gpu time to explore what interests you.
Hm. Poisonous frogs are beautiful. Deadly fruits. Toxic mushrooms.

River rapids. Vast cliffs. Deep lakes.

These things can all kill you. I doubt extremely that beauty is related to 'habitable environments' or anything connected to survival.
I would love for reMarkable to become a powerful ebook reader that supports sharable annotations. Couple this with excerpts and the ability to sync / cross-link with Obsidian.md and it would be a game changer.

If Anki cards could be generated from reMarkable or Obsidian, we'd have a full knowledge graph system with SRS. Powerful.
I wish USB would just go away. Even the most basic possible use cases just fundamentally don't work, and are becoming worse each year.

At least 10-15 years ago I was trying to copy data from one USB harddrive to another. I was already using my ports so I tried to do it through a hub. This was in the day where machines still had 3-4 ports, maybe even 5. But after my webcam and mouse, I was full.

I was poor and broke then and always had cheapskate hubs. It would always work but you'd have weird errors or crashes and finally one drive would stop responding midway through a 6 hour operation.

Now 2022 with a decent job I said it's time to properly experience USB and splurged on a well-known $100+ one.

Laptops in 2022 now have ONLY ONE USB PORT, both my Macbook and Huawei. The second port is for power. And? .... Yeah USB hubs don't work at all. Same crap. I was blaming my Xiaomi phone & Windows 10 for the fact I can't back up my photos .....for months. Nope it was the gdamn USB hub. And it's ALWAYS 100% OF THE TIME weird issues that appear in the middle of long operations inconsistently. The hardware involved never matters, Mac, Windows, cheap hub, fancy hub.....all TRASH

If you believe in cannabis legalization, which is what this thread is about, then one party is very obviously on your side on that issue, and one is very obviously not. But sure, let's go through the list, just for fun.

> expanded military spending

Democrats don't really vote for this, certainly not to the same degree, but sure, I wish there were more difference.

> global expansionism

Vague to the point of meaninglessness.

> corporate tax reduction

Definitely not the same. Democrats recently pushed for a minimum corporate tax (https://www.wsj.com/articles/democrats-corporate-tax-plan-th...).

> lessening monopoly laws

Also vague, but not generally true. Democrats will vote for actual antitrust legislation; they won't vote for the Republicans using "anti-trust" as a meaningless scare-word to bash businesses they don't like for unrelated reasons.

> reducing banking restrictions

Maybe in the 90s, but not recently. Who wrote the Dodd-Frank Act, and who repealed it?

> reducing spending on interstate infrastructure

Vague, but not generally true. There are a bunch of major transportation projects (e.g. California HSR, DC's Purple Line) that have been held up for ages because Democrats will vote to fund them and then Republicans will take it away, or because it's impossible to get Republican states/counties to pay their fair share. For telecomms, Democrats will tend to push more for equitable-access programs, whereas Republicans will frame corporate tax cuts as "infrastructure spending" as long as some infrastructure-related companies benefit. Go look at the numbers and priorities in the 2021 infrastructure bill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Investment_and_...), which passed on mostly party lines, and tell me the parties agree on cutting infrastructure spending.

> cutting education spending

Laughably false. Go look at the per-student education budget per state. (Federal DoE spending YoY is kind of weird because it's washed out by college loan financing; most direct spending on education is at the state level.)

> restricting the ability for fair and equal elections through redistricting

Seriously, you're going to sit there and argue, in the year 2022, that the parties are the same on election fairness? The fact that the Democrats don't aggressively gerrymander is why they don't currently hold the House - the New York legislature could have chopped up Long Island differently to stem the losses. More generally, Democrats consistently vote for protecting ballot access, against Republicans who nakedly want to make it more difficult to vote - and that's setting aside the whole armed-insurrection-to-overthrow-an-election thing, which, last I checked, 90% of the Republican party will still fall in line for.

The authorizations for these vaccines had 10+ hour public meetings and hundreds of pages of supporting documentation. The studies listed the known data on side effects.

Obviously the vaccines were not without risk, and when the government said they were "safe" that did not mean they were 100% safe... Nothing is. They were safe to the standards of other vaccines in broad use.

I will acknowledge that in addition to the known deaths from JNJ, I'm sure there were a bunch of unlucky people who had reactions to vaccine that caused issues or may have even killed a few people who were extra sensitive or unlucky. However if the choice is either getting the vaccine first or getting COVID first, and one is 100x safer than the other one for all of these side effects, then it's still hard to disagree with anything the government did.

And at the end of the day a lot of anti-vaxxers or vax-curious people argue in bad faith with bad data (I'm not saying you are, but it is common). And even I agree that the "good" data isn't perfect. We still have reporting issues of died with COVID vs died from COVID, but even with any reasonable assumptions about these distinctions the vaccines give all people of any age enough additional protection to be worth it (for the initial 3 doses at least - I make no claims beyond that).

I'd agree with you if the argument was "full desktop setup" vs "just a laptop". I sometimes envy people who can spend all day using only their laptop. After a few hours bent to look at my 12 inch screen, my neck and back scream.

But when using a laptop with a dock, a big external monitor, external keyboard, mouse etc, I don't see the point in using a desktop machine anymore.
Damn, what a great comment.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30611748

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32503090

I wouldn't recommend manjaro nor elementary.

If you want some of the ArchLinux experience (like Manjaro promises) try EndeavourOS or Garuda Linux.

(Have tried them both and didn't hear much negative things about them)

If you just want to get going with linux without much hassle and just want to explore everything i'd recommend linux mint (it is also based on ubuntu but only inherits the good stuff and for example doesn't use snaps). It has many tools that help you if you don't want to do everything in the terminal (although i'd recommend to get warm with the terminal). And IMO it just has a good out of the box eperience.

(Haven't used it myself but have set it up for some non tech people who were only familiar with windows or macos and they learned to use it relatively fast)

I personally use plain Archlinux and wouldn't want to trade it for something else, but the pure archlinux experience may not be what you want and is definitely not for everyone.

It's amazing how quickly human fallibility is forgotten when the motivations align with ideologically.

The ACA made life much, much better for people who are insured. Most of what the ACA did was tell insurance companies that they had to actually pay for things once in a while - e.g., getting rid of "preexisting condition" excuses - so that their product would be just a bit more predictable and less of a scam.
My suggestion is to invert your strategy. Instead of telling someone what you are good at, start by asking them what their problems and needs are. Then you can easily steer the conversation to how you can help.

Imagine you're trapped in an elevator with the CEO of your company:

CEO: What department do you work in?

You: I'm a software engineer--but don't hold that against me.

CEO: Heh! Truth is I really value software engineers. [Ed: What else is she going to say?]

You: Of course, but I'm sure you've had your frustrations too. Some of us are better with machines than people.

CEO: You know, one thing that's hard is getting reliable estimates. One week I hear that everything is on track and the next week I'm told we're going to miss our deadlines. It's hard to know the reality.

You: Yeah, I get that. I think there some things with our development process that we could improve. If we had more visibility on the customers that sales is targeting, we might be able to anticipate new requirements. If we had known that we were going to sell to [CUSTOMER X], then we would have worked on [FEATURE A] sooner.

CEO: Interesting! Set up a meeting and we can talk about how to implement something like that.

Obviously, this is just a (lame) example. But the point is that no one cares that you're a polymath in the abstract. They only care about how you can solve a problem that they have.

The more you do this, the more people will remember you as "the person who solved problem X". Eventually you might even be known as the "expert in problem X." And if you end up solving lots of different and unrelated problems, eventually you'll get a reputation as a general problem solver, and people will seek you out.
Ask HN: Why doesn't Stripe use more than one acquiring processor?
If I understand Stripe payments correctly, all they are is an API that sit in-between merchants and Wells Fargo?

Lately, we've been having problems with a bunch of failed payments, most of which have random 'Do Not Honor' failure messages.

I wonder our payment failure rate would decrease if we used different payment facilitators, which begs the question, why don't companies like Stripe just use multiple acquiring banks like World Pay or First Data?

HTTP is the new TCP. I wonder why all of those projects (IPFS, SSB, Dat/Hypercore) developed their own protocols rather than piggybacking on HTTP instead---thus requiring desktop daemons, specialised browsers, or web gateways.

I think the issue is the lack of separation between peer-to-peer synchronisation (e.g., nodes sharing messages with each other) and peer-to-browser communication (e.g., a browser requesting a file). I get that the former may require a specialised protocol, but the latter should be available through plain HTTP.

You need to look at this from multiple aspects: the ability to make the "right" choice in an individual's case, factoring in all ethical, medical, social and financial forces and beneficiaries involved. The policy from an aggregate level, factoring in the same at an aggregate level. To make these decisions, you do need to periodically step outside the decision-making process and see it with fresh eyes, which is what I and the other user were attempting to prompt by inviting you to think about the similarity to state-administered violence in a legal system.

You are definitely entrenched within an intentionally limited set of inputs similar to what the MAID process has devolved to in some circumstances, sorry. In your current position, you would not be in a position to fully and most beneficially evaluate the decision to end life, whether as an individual, family member, physician or policymaker.

Arugula has nitrate, meat is cured by nitrite.

Nitrate is less toxic than nitrite and is used as a food source by live plants.

Ecotoxicology of nitrite and nitrate: Nitrite levels above 0.75 ppm in water can cause stress in fish and greater than 5 ppm can be toxic. Nitrate levels from 0 – 40 ppm are generally safe for fish. Anything greater than 80 can be toxic.
