The really amazing thing is that even 20 years ago, a return to full activity with no limitations was nearly a given after a THR. The improvements here are mostly in terms of how quickly that recovery happens.

My mother, in her working life, was a physical therapist, but she's been retired for 25 years. In her career, the hip replacement was miraculous but required a serious hospital stay, and had a higher complication rate. Improved techniques and understandings about the recover process have made ENORMOUS differences since then.

Mmm. The root for the word “masticate” (the resin is used like chewing gum), and the “piney” flavour in Greek halva (among other things). Notably, a collection of trees on one Greek islands (Chios) were under threat from forest fire a few years ago[0].

I wonder if that accounts for the Activision purchase?

If it's just purely revenue, yeah, that's ugly. Sad because I got the Xbox Game Pass maybe 3 months ago and while I rarely game, I've really enjoyed it - the fact that I can just hop on and play whatever I want in the cloud is really cool. The fact that it comes bundled with all EA games too is great. Will suck when they inevitably have to bump up prices, because right now it's the best value in gaming hands down.
The main difference between Europe and the US on this point is health insurance (or the lack of in the US). Those technologies are available worldwide - it heavily depends on whether you can afford it or not.
Personally I am excited to see this, but I wonder if the optics will kill it?

People get upset enough about reactors that don’t move and live inside huge structures of reinforced concrete. Can we convince this segment of the population that launching a small device (with necessarily less shielding) is safe?

Even the most reliable launch vehicles (Falcon 9, Atlas V) are probably not more than ~99% likely to succeed. Can the payload be made safe in the event that it fails to make orbit?
Since both are EU businesses, these were "Intra-Community Acquisitions"[1] so the VAT was reverse-charged.

Either way, they knew the business' VAT ID, Chamber of Commerce ID, etc. and had been billing us successfully using that info for a good while, there were no outstanding bills, and there was nothing nefarious or questionable going on our servers or with the associated traffic (just running legacy applications and services).

All in all a super weird experience, which was a shame since we were otherwise and up until then quite happy with them.

Regulatory recovery fees have been around for over 20yrs in the US. Sure, the FTC could tackle both, but they 20yrs have gone by, and you still cannot actually get the final price for a wireless contract in the US until after you sign up for a 2yr plan.

Instead we're focusing on chat apps which were born in the past decade, require no 2yr plans, and for that matter, dont even cost money and have 50 free competitors.

Great prioritization.
There is CommonMark, but even that is very opiniated.

One of the issues is that original Markdown used tabs everywhere, but people started using spaces, but some implementations choke down on them.

The biggest issue in Markdown is that whitespace is significant and important; and there are tons of weird edgecases of all the various rules clashing with each other.

Even CommonMark has some weird unspecified edgecases.

I was briefly involved with a Markdown parser implementation… it’s really really hard to parse MarkDown. Not sure if harder than to parse HTML, as I did not do that. But it’s still really really hard.
It worked just fine when I bought it. The “update” was rolled out well past the date I could return it.
This story has been going around the world for 50 years, and in different variations. According to some sources, the first time it appeared in a publication in USA in 1958, in the professional magazine "Meat and Game" of the California Associations of Game Producers (proven fact). The authenticity of the story, however, is questionable.

The FAA has at its disposal a unique device for measuring the strength of aircraft windshields, in case of a collision with birds at high speed (which happens not so rarely). This device is a powerful pneumatic cannon that shoots a chicken carcass into the windshield of an airplane at a speed approaching the cruising speed of a civilian aircraft (for jet aircraft, this is approx. 800 km/h, for piston engines in the 1950s this figure was probably smaller, maybe 400-500 km/h). According to the theory, if the glass can withstand a collision with a chicken at such a speed, then it should all the more withstand a real collision with a bird in flight.

A certain British engineering company developing high-speed trains borrowed this gun from the FAA to test the strength of the windshield of its
a new high-speed train. The cannon was brought to England, installed at the landfill, loaded with a chicken carcass and fired at the prototype train.

The result exceeded all expectations: the chicken broke through the glass, broke the back of the driver's seat and got stuck in the back wall of the car. The British sent test results to FAA and asked them if they had done everything correctly and if the gun was hitting too hard. After studying the description and consequences of the test, the answer was sent by telegram immediately: "Next time, defrost the chicken."
Yeah well, we don't really know what happens at high speeds. Probably biochemistry stops working at 0.3c? It doesn't seem structural materials would remain solid at 0.95c... who knows.
Why is the O in N₂O not accessible, thus resulting in hypoxia? If you blow nitrous oxide through a lit cigarette the resulting increased burn it says there's more oxygen, not a lack of it.

>You too can have this "free" housing; all it will cost is your choice of living location and proving that you're incredibly poor.

>So this outrage is emotional bluster, like a child who never learned to share.

You're repeating the same mistake as the parent, by refusing to seriously engage with the opposition, instead arguing against a strawman version the opposition's argument, and then concluding that they must be insincere. If I had to steelman the opposition's positions, I would go with the following:

1. They think it's fundamentally not their responsibility to help society's downtrodden

2. They think think we have a responsibility to help society's downtrodden, but only the ones who physically can't support themselves. "free housing for everyone who's incredibly poor" wouldn't be compatible with this view, because it's possible for you to be be poor through laziness or whatever.

"It's fair because you too can get free housing if you're poor" doesn't address either of these concerns.

>like a child who never learned to share.

Okay, and what if they actually don't want to share? This isn't kindergarten where you can appeal to the teacher to forcibly get them to share. This is the real world, which means you need to amass a coalition of supporters to back you. Name-calling your opponents isn't going to help do that.
It's amazing to see how far these systems have come since my coverage from The Verge in 2014, where I built a multi-node Parallella cluster. The main problem I had then was that there was no of the shelf GPU friendly library to run on it, so I ended up working with the Gray Chapel project to get some distributed vectorization support. Of course, that's all changed now.

We’d have to adjust capitalism to deal with the “novel abundance” problems. Most of the drive for novel content/audiences is simply to decide which people get a cut of the revenue (and/or audience).

If we focused on quality and stopped caring about who gets paid for what I suspect that not only would we have better quality overall but we’d also push the boundaries much faster thus making things even more interesting.

Speculating you'll substantially blue shift the light coming from in front of you, and I suppose that can't be good for materials (or people), but I'm not sure if there is enough to matter. Any dust you collide with is also going to have ridiculous amounts of energy, but you'll be in interstellar space when you're at high speeds so there shouldn't be much of it (even for space) either.

We don't support E2EE (yet), for a few reasons

- It wouldn't work with the photography features

- Normal HTTP downloads would be out of the question - you have to assemble blobs on the client, which, last I checked, doesn't play very well with large files on some browsers

- I'm not convinced that the current iteration of "password in the URL fragment" JS E2EE is the best solution

Questions I would ask to a proponent of full-JS E2EE: do you actually inspect the minified & bundled JS of your favorite E2EE web app to see if it's implementing encryption correctly? Is it using CBC mode with the same IV? Is it leaking the URL fragment? Are you sure the JS bundle won't change under you on the next request? Are you sure that when you email your link it's not being transferred over plaintext, nullifying the encryption in the first place?

I think that full-JS E2EE lulls users into a false sense of security for the sake of convenience.

That said, we're looking into implementing E2EE in a different way at some point in the future.
Wild guess: since the field given in the article is 256 bytes and the signature is probably just padded to the same size as the key, it's probably 2048 bits which is not really easily crackable (any key-specific flaws notwithstanding).

I'm right there with you - not many of my friends (we're in our young-mid 30s) game that much, and when they do it's pretty casual. I have an Xbox One and I have the game pass, but to be honest it's mainly for when my friends come over and we play FIFA, Madden, etc... - something pretty casual. I cannot for the life of me remember the last time I played a non-multiplayer game.

Everyone who still likes gaming and is into playing with their SO, their kids, or relatives that I know plays on Switch, which to be fair is an awesome device.

Excellent concept. Did not not care for the curated selection, which leverages current popularity for obvious reasons but will end up perpetuating a sort of lowest-common-denominator circularity. This would have more value as a lens into challenging works that people might otherwise be reluctant to engage with. Interactive versions of books that already rely heavily on epistemic closure will likely accelerate the proliferation of fads and cults which afflict us.

Yup, similar to frostbite. Normal skin temp is around 86°F. as it is cooled, it goes from cool to cold sensation, to very painful at around 55°F. Below that, you don't feel anything as it continues to cool to the point where it freezes solid (which wouldn't be a problem if the freeze-thaw cycle didn't create so many little spiny ice structures that break the cell walls; a type of frog has 'anti-freeze' in it's makeup so it can freeze and re-thaw). So, when your skin stops being painful, that's when you really need to warm it up NOW.
Show HN: K-12 home education for hackers
As a homeschool parent, I've spent the past decade compiling the best learning resources I could find for creative, intellectually curious kids and teenagers.

In Great Books Homeschool, I've put these resources together to form a complete K-12 homeschooling curriculum based on great literature and nonfiction books. It goes beyond typical academic subjects to encompass the classics, programming, entrepreneurship, meditation, astrophysics, life skills, philosophy etc. The curriculum is fully customizable and generates homeschooling records and transcripts.

Some of the high school curriculum might be of interest to adults as well.

I'd welcome feedback as well as suggested additions to the curriculum.
The culture has shifted over the last 15 years or so. Initially it was indeed for YC and YC adjacent founders, but it evolved into a general tech news and tech workers forum.

This is the wrong question to ask. Last I used Twitter it bombarded me with unsolicited, unrelated content to an inescapable degree. On Mastodon, which so enthusiastically compensates for Twitter’s aggression that no new content is surfaced without an explicit request or first-degree vouch, I take a peek at instances' local timelines almost daily.

Beyond the timeline, consider the behavior of hashtags. On a single-user instance hashtags are useless for discovery.

It's not really a fork, more like a distribution as you might be familiar with it, or built on top of Wine. Without Wine, there probably wouldn't have been any Proton.

I think parent mean "fork" in the strict sense that there are two source codes "versions" of Wine: upstream, which is the official wine you get when doing `apt-get install wine`, `pacman -Ss wine` or whatever. Then there is Valves own clone of that same codebase, but with additional patches on top of it. Many changes are game specific, at least in the beginning, but many are also generalized and eventually "upstreamed" to the official Wine repository.

So in a way, they maintain their own fork with their own set of patches, and some of those patches makes their way to the "original" Wine while some don't.

Right now I just set a calendar event (in Google Calendar) for the future. What's the repeating part? Typically I don't have to re-cancel my eg Netflix subscription once I've canceled it until I sign up again, at which point I set a reminder then.

What I'm really missing is the quick add by string that Google calendar used to have. Eg type in "next thursday at 8pm" and it would do just that, instead of laboriously having to scroll to next Thursday, then create an event and set it to start at 8pm.
Then you’d just create the AI equivalent of black-hat SEO.

I support restaurants breaking out health insurance as a separate charge so that it's very conspicuous.

In the restaurant industry, it isn't customary to provide health insurance benefits. (It shouldn't be that way, but right now, in the US, it is.) If a restaurant is going to try to treat their employees better, it's crucial for customers understand why they're paying more.

Otherwise, they'll just think it's a bad deal and go to another restaurant. Then the restaurant will have to stop providing insurance.

I don't think you can make it work if it's built into the price. You can try telling people about it and putting up signs, but you'll run up against two unfortunate laws of human nature: people don't listen, and they don't read.

This add-on fee should be disclosed beforehand as prominently as possible so that you don't get charge more than you expected. But I think it needs to be a separate fee. Otherwise, I just don't see how you can get customers to understand that your food prices are comparable to other restaurants.

If you sprinkle in a bit of infrastructure, I think we're already there. The ability to distill a variety of content into vectors and perform approximate nearest neighbor search (shameless plug: https://milvus.io) across all of them can really help power a lot of these applications. With the retrieved vectors, you could match questions with answers or create a reverse index to the original content to perform summarization.

With that being said, one of the main challenges ahead will be multimodal learning. We're sort-of there combining text with visual data, but there are many other modalities out there as well.

Based on their privacy policy it looks like Trim takes a lot more than just a cut of the savings. They collect a shit ton of very personal data. They sell your personal data to advertisers, their "partners", and other "businesses and third-party websites". They keep your private data for as long as is "permitted under an applicable law". They promise to spam you with third party offers and to promote their own services and while you use their service they subject you to ads and let their "advertising partners" collect your data.

"Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your browser or device when you click on ads that appear on the Services...use tracking technologies with the Services. This may include the collection of information about your online activities"
