I believe it for anecdodal reasons. Since a few years ago I started eating vegetables and whole foods and greek yogurt, cottage cheese, my cravings for what foods I want to eat and what foods I like have changed so much. I can't stand the foods I used to love, and I love always having veggies now in my food. I'm always joking with my partner that my gut bacteria have mindcontrolled me and that I'm a zombie for my gut microbiome.
Hotels are horrible for this.

This is what my itemized stay was for a single night:

2023-01-18 * Residence Inn

expenses:travel:marriott 171.00 USD

expenses:taxes:salestax:tx 10.26 USD

expenses:taxes:salestax:tx:plano 11.97 USD ; city hotel tax

expenses:fees:recovery 1.28 USD ; tax recovery fee

expenses:fees:recovery 2.13 USD ; parking recovery fee

expenses:taxes:salestax:tx .18 USD ; taxes on parking recovery fee.

assets:checking -196.82 USD ; date: 1/20

A $2.13 "Parking Recovery Fee" is charged to cover the expense in building their parking garage...and then, they charge me another sales tax on top of the parking recovery fee, then charging me a recovery fee because they need to recover the credit card fees charged on the city and state sales tax items.

Resort fees are also becoming more and more common, even in hotels that shouldn't need a "resort fee" -- if I'm staying at an Embassy Suites in the middle of nowhere, Iowa, why do I need to pay a resort fee?
Hey, anyone knows where do I pay the 8$/month for the dark mode and some slight style/CSS alterations? :-)
I've got a side project that is a long-term reminders app. It has a long list of reminders included like changing the oil, test the smoke detectors, flipping the mattress, getting your prostate checked, etc. You could just go down the list and enable everything that applied to you. I kinda lost interest in it but one of these days I should dust it off and get in the app stores.
Along these lines - does anyone comprehend how the taxes and fees can vary month-to-month on your phone bill?

For an unlimited plan, there's really no variation month-to-month. It should be the same freaking bill each month - yet it's always a few-to-a-dozen cents different each time.
Apparently among the other things it develops are a contempt for most of humanity?
That's why the primitive anesthetic ACE (Alcohol, Chloroform, Ether) existed in many proportions, but never chloroform alone.
Reminds me of Dan Luu's post about how people think he's pretty stupid.

Fewer would smoke, but I'd wager it would be popular with the young. I think it all boils down to feedback. The more abstract something is, the harder it is to fathom. So if you lessen the feedback, by, for example, delaying the negative effects, people won't react. Take the other popular vice, alcohol. If hangover was immediately present, I don't think we would have the drinking culture that we have today. How many vow to never drink again, on the day after. Yet, people drink again.
Naively I'd expect that you would need fusion specifically. Uranium isn't plentiful unless you're on a rocky planet, and isn't very high energy density compared to hydrogen.

Hydrogen is everywhere by comparison.

The other reasonable option might be solar power near stars, and forwarding the power on to your ships/distant planets using some form of directed energy (lasers, lenses, etc).
As a previous occasional user of Calendly I couldn't justify the cost of the ongoing monthly subscription for a simpler version of it which is set up and forget. Cal.com seems built with a better plug-in foundations and it's free for individuals with open-source code and open development process. What's not to like?
Exact same experience here. I even let episodes roll past the credits to the absolute end. And it still doesn't work.
The good news is that if everyone does that it'll still not be worth it to continue their deceptive practice, the bad news is that not everyone will stop going to the restaurant and the owner who sees the number of customers decline might be thick enough to assume it's for some other reason. I wouldn't make a scene, or let it ruin my night, but I'd make it clear that the hidden charge lost them my business.
Surprised they didn't split out the concert with Sting that Satya had promptly before laying off 10k people.
Most would say it's art, which is why these models are so interesting and have had such quick adoption. If you were to reveal that it's AI-made, some would also change their mind or say that it's art but not exactly in the same sense that human-made art is art.

I just think that until AI has real intent, it's a different thing that what we do. Which is not saying anything bad it, quite the contrary.

The definitions will inevitably shift over time, they're already ultimately subjective. If you believe in god, it's not hard to argue that nature is art and quite a lot of people believe in god.
Autoimmune conditions are the most common culprit. Doctors are horrible at diagnosing.
Even if you have all the symptoms, family history, good response to treatment, and some positive tests.

Autoimmune protocol diet is amazing for resolving from food triggers.
I'd probably start with: "What is the main argument of the book?" if it's non-fiction.
At first I read it as "NYC wants to ban physical mail", and thought it was about time. :D
Not anymore. It's $45 for the actually-usable plan if you have a modern flagship smartphone. Gone is all the "party" pricing stuff that made them so popular in the first place.
The Big Ideas Tech Will Tackle in 2023: An A16Z Omnibus
State prisons are 60% violent offences. Robbery, assault, rape, and murder. Another ~8% are burglaries which have a high likelihood of leading to violence.
Email questions like that in.
Confusing terminology, imho. Facebook is a data-silo in this sense:

So the word already has at least two meanings in the context of IT.
>psychic abilities
I find it incredibly strange how this guys work is so prevalent in the arts in academia. I see it a lot when non-philosophy students get to PhD-level and suddenly encounter the problem of needing to include some philosophical thought to justify their work, and they use that of Bhaba, which just leads to them now having two problems. Total word salad. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about, but like all good Hegelians, nobody else does.
The electrical utility program they’re talking about doesn’t control your thermostat, it’s a line-voltage device that is wired in-line with your air conditioning compressor. It has a relay that enables and disables the compressor circuit. The enable/disable signal comes from the utility. The furnace fan will still run.

Xcel Energy calls their program “Saver’s Switch” if you want to read more about it
We're in the Switch boat with a 9-year old, and even though I sometimes look at my friends and their PS5s/latest Xboxes with envy it always comes down to the unsavory catalog of games. The violence/sex/other kinds of mature content is a big drawback to families like us (even if you don't buy those kinds of games, the visibility is still too high).
I love how this reads completely differently after the final sentence implies the birds are still alive.
How could anyone possibly make use of so many charging cables?
Perhaps your experience has been different than mine but I find the handling of personal data at very large companies is much more careful than what I have experienced elsewhere.
I've never understood this kind of "regulators should ignore evidence of wrongdoing as long as there is also evidence of someone else engaging in wrongdoing" thinking. Even granting that Apple is super-mega-unbearably evil, do you really think regulators should serialize investigations and actions, only moving on to the #2 worst offender once the #1 is sorted?
>There are a hundred different ways people get stuff on the inside, and even if those hundred different ways were stopped there would be a new hundred in no time.

Remove humans from process that cannot be corrupted. That's how you would stop contraband.
people interested in 'breathing' things.. let's recall a few basics.. Many humans are in different stages of life (age), of training (basic fitness), of capacity (the body you are in), and alertness (are you paying attention to things that matter?).

Breathing is a minute-to-minute vital life function. You can hurt yourself, perhaps seriously, with breathing changes. But wait -- holding your breathe is harmless and this is stupid that you warn me about it, one person wrote after a similar comment like this here on YNews. really? I don't know you but I guarantee you are not six years old right now.

Hold the breathe like a babe in arms, gently, with complete awareness... You tri-athletes, you too..

yes, I agree this is annoying to see Western Medicine "discover" this .. but please work with experienced people, not alone, not with a video or PDF from somewhere.. to health!
> And indeed, while Vault has a lot of features, it is pretty overwhelming to setup and maintain.

I generally like Vault, but on top of being a bit overwhelming to set up, it's also quite expensive to run in a HA setup.
Do less.

Focus on the things you care about.
Show HN: Signal-Android – A fork of Signal that provides SMS support
Signal was a brilliant app. It can send messages with rich media, host group chats, and even do voice and video calls, all with the peace of mind that comes from a proper secure messaging app. The best part was that you could still send messages to people who don't use Signal. Signal was the messaging app everyone wants - all the benefits of iMessage, without being siloed in one particular ecosystem.

Sometime leading up to October of 2022, the folks at the Signal foundation lost the plot. Signal has since dropped support for SMS, and is inexplicably adding "stories" to their personal messaging app. I despise this.

Instead of just complaining about it, I decided to do something about it. Here is a link to a version of the Signal Android app that still supports SMS, and doesn't have stories. There also isn't a stupid, nagging banner telling you to update. Right now, it's just Signal 5.38 with a couple lines commented out, but I plan to integrate any upstream security/UX improvements in the near future. For now, you'll have to build/install it yourself, but I will eventually put an APK out there for people to download. Enjoy!
Could skew it the other way, right? As in, directors + managers + VPs make $200k-$300k on the low-ish?
I don’t think the prison system is about rehabilitation. I think it’s based on the principal of protecting the population from people likely to commit crimes. P who commit crimes are much more likely than the general population to commit a crime, so the more years they are behind bars, the less chance they commit crimes.

The slave labor is punishment, and I believe the only form of slavery allowed under the US constitution. I think the prison could pay nothing but they choose practically nothing.

I agree on reforming exploitative services like $5/minute phone calls. I don’t think prisoners should be abused financially. I wish I could vote for candidates who supported this kind of reform.

In elections near me, this isn’t even an issue where candidates differentiate. There were a few candidates that were running for reform but they were more along the lines of not prosecuting certain misdemeanors.

I think the whit collar crime being punished less than violent crime kind of makes sense. I’d rather someone steal $1M than injure someone. It’s pretty mercenary to say that someone stealing $5M without violence is worse than someone stealing $35k with violence. I also don’t think prison sentences have clear relationships for comparison.

Is your brothers crime worse than raping 5 people? He would have received less jail time. Is that right? I’m not sure.
Use for heavy lifting? Depends on efficiency. If it 'burned' its fuel completely, then maybe not as dirty as imagined.

Further the oceans already contain dissolved uranium salts. Returning them to the ocean is 'net neutral' in a sense. Especially if we harvested them from there to begin with!
I was the one who started the thread thinking that shutoffs on branches were the norm, and apparently that's just not the case everywhere.

Also I don't know what you mean about sewage contamination? Sewage contamination of potable water lines would indicate a hugely weird problem.

AFAIK backflow preventers (fancy check valves), which prevent water in the house from going back into the municipal distribution, are standard on new installs. But I think that requirement is recent as of the past few decades, so most houses aren't going to have them.
Does Ford have a monopoly on selling Mustangs?

The critical thing here is how you define "market". Some people say that iPhones are a market, therefore Apple is a monopoly. Some people (like Apple) say that mobile devices are market, and Apple has like 30% market share.
Nightshades can increase inflammation. Tomatoes and Potatoes for example.
That's the one, yes. There's two web proxies listed on that page for browsing Gemini with a web browser.
It's sold by arguably the largest DRM provider. Valve just seems think of DRM as a way to keep honest people honest, rather than as something that aspires to be unassailable.
IME, once you take tax, tips and the exchange rate into account, Australia in generally on par, or cheaper, than the US (California, at least).
When I had my roof replaced not only was this the case but their estimate included a certain amount of decking to be replaced for exactly the reason GP cites. I wound up not needing that much, and they only charged what I used.
DRM is one thing. But the laws that forbid people from circumventing them? That forbid security researchers from even discussing vulnerabilities that could negatively impact millions of people? Those are imposed from the top.

(They were lobbied from the dynamic of the businesses that wanted to enforce those DRMs, though.)
Oh i see, thanks for the info.
How much did they spend trolling random places in the Indian Ocean? There are some pretty substantial saving to be reaped just from the making the search more sane.

I suspect that there are some extra costs making it "flight ready" and all that stuff, but the fact of the matter is that GPS chips are cheaper and more plentiful than ever, we have Starlink coverage in Antarctica now, and they're send more and more satellites up every week now. There are costs in securing it and then receiving the data and such but it all seems really inepensive compared to the planes, the insurance payouts and the search and recovery efforts.
I can't help it:

> the practice is spreading like a contagion into new vertical

Not where I live (Europe).
Yes, I forgot to mention that. They have cross cutting orgs too. Which means they reinvented the matrix organization which is the worst of all organizations.
Consumer, SMB, enterprise, cloud, hardware, gaming... They have it all.
What's "scary" is if you look at their headcount on a graph, they are still very high compared to their historical headcounts.

Doesn't this make one wonder "are more layoffs coming"/needed?

We were all criticizing their board in the comments for laying off 10k or whatever it was. Maybe we should be thanking them that it wasn't more? Not saying I think this, just... not an "unfathomable" argument.
That is true - that's also one of the reason why we made our pricing for Infisical Cloud per person/month.
Well I tried… Thanks for the links.
Not anymore. The table turns quickly.
I just used the legacy Next structure and @next/mdx, been smooth sailing for the past month.
Meet used to say WebRTC wasn’t working and boot you out of meetings if you used Firefox. Every other service worked perfectly, but they clearly were slacking on fixing it for at least a year before we stopped using Meet.

GCP periodically breaks their console logins for Firefox users.
I don’t understand the need to connect trucks to towing or the concept of a real truck. A truck is a truck because you can put things in the back, it's really that simple.

I get that many people can get by with a sadan or whatever but the idea that I have to rent equipment just to transfer some wood or furniture is unacceptable. Even if I do it rarely it's still more often than most people put passengers in the back seat of their car. Truck is the ultimate vehicle but if questioned I'll just say because I like the way it looks haha. It's really not the hill to die on.
> "the provisions will not apply to commercially available mobile phones nor the encrypted messaging apps available on them"

Which then implies that commercial devices can be eavesdropped at will by the government.
Russia and Ukraine have been named as the 2 most corrupt nations in Europe. It makes me wonder how NATO is making sure that none of the military aid it's giving to Ukraine ends up being siphoned to Russia or that some Ukrainians aren't just taking advantage of the aid and enriching themselves? I doubt the amount of corruption has decreased since the war started.
I did this when I was in constant horrific agony. Full body burning pain. Serious painkillers
Just to not want to die.

Tried 100% only Chicken green veggies and sweet potatoes. A Month later I was out kayaking twice a week. No need for painkillers.
That seems even easier to bypass, but makes more sense if they're just using that to moderate instantaneous draw (everyone's compressor kicking on at once), rather than trying to reduce total cooling demand.

But my original critique still applies. If you have two AC units, and only install the switch in series with one, do they figure it out based on your draw and cut your discount in half, or what? Or do they do the install themselves and check over your system. And if you later open up your own equipment and bypass it, they treat you similarly as if you were to just jump your electric meter?

I do wonder if this approach makes sense from the homeowner perspective too. Modulating your compressor means that you need a bigger compressor to handle the same cooling load, and short cycling isn't going to be good for it.
I've heard it can enable you to offend large swaths of the population using only words.

Who is "you", here?
After air pollution, noise pollution is considered to be the most important environmental stressor to humans[0]. So I agree, noise is important. And I don't miss the public smoke either.

Interesting. Taking this approach to its logical conclusion, one would think national laws stop at the border of a given nation. Clearly, however, they do not, but rather extend based on a given influence sphere with SWIFT network being closest to what we would consider international movement of capital across the borders ( I am skipping people and goods, because that is a whole different animal ) and OFAC being a clear example of what happens when one nation can dictate terms of engagement in the world.

<< I have no idea why you think this is important, though.

It is important, because previous post seemed to indicate that Lebanese diaspora should not dream of being able to send payments ( if I misrepresent your position, please correct me as needed ). Separately, I have personal opinions grounded primarily in the officially espoused promise of the US ( freedom, liberty and all that jazz ). Whether US lives up to those promises varies lately.
“Allowed” is an interesting way to describe being the target of hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising and heavy promotion on several of the most popular websites in the world.
The biggest issue is that it poses health risks, like being carcinogenic.
To be honest being swallowed into a jet engine is as quick of a death as you can get
I think you are incorrect. I've looked into my Keychain Access > iCloud on Mac and found some entries that seemlike they were created with the APIs you suggest.

E.g. WizzAir has three entries: `WizzAirLogin.username`, `WizzAirLogin.password` an `WizzAirLogin.firstName`.

Or Spotify stored `com.spotify.login.credentials`, `com.spotify.connect.lastStoredDataKey` and `com.spotify.connect.iplSessionHistoryDataKey`.
With the correct ancient breathing techniques, one can see the downvotes coming before they even post.
Are you getting good results when summarizing a human speaking? On my project, even though Whisper does a good job translating it, I'm not happy with the query results. My theory is that GPT-3 is designed for written word and the way people speak and the way they write are structurally different. Or I'm just figuring this out and I'm not good enough at it yet.
It may help to understand who this feature is for:

This feature is designed for users who, often due to their public profile, face concerted threats to their online accounts, such as celebrities, journalists, and members of government [1].

My team and I are about to launch Talk With Me[1] which would allow you to book video calls with people and accept payments for those sessions easily. You can claim your custom URL right now and we hope to launch in the next few days. Here's mine [2].

Early part of migraine maybe. Euphoria is a symptom. I used to get that the day before one would hit.
My argument is not a slippery slope, though I see how it could easily go that way. I outline the kind of multi-factor understanding the AI would have to have to be considered to have understood "hand".

This "hand understanding" could probably be simplified for an artistic concept of "hand".

I believe a computer "understands" basic arithmetic on a non-conscious level. I haven't been convinced it understands the human hand, even in an artistic sense.

> "I've seen plenty of people claim they produce great art, when in reality it's terrible."

Yes. But other people typically don't go around saying that those people understand great art. Understand what makes it great.
I've been happily using Fantastical for this over the past year. The native Mac and iOS apps are beautiful. And since, you know, we folk here tend to be a little code savvy, I just set up a server redirect from mydomain.tld/meet to the slightly longer Fantastical URL, and it works like a charm. Boom — branded URL, integration with a fantastic calendar app, nice flexible scheduling. Really happy with this setup.
Clairannoyance?
All or nothing thinking about security misses the point entirely.

Security is about reducing the frequency of events, and the impact of those events- Not making things philosophically impossible.
Multiple data breaches thrown in as well!
I'd rate the ability of the US Gov't to successfully keep something like that a secret to be roughly zero, plus or minus zero.
Are you also astounded that the pilot controls the plane with a "kill everyone" lever? One that if they push forward for long enough will kill everyone on the plane?

But also, _not_ using the lever during landing would also kill everyone. Wild stuff.
Before this thread goes much further I'd just like to point out that literally every argument for or against or indifferent regarding tipping has already been made on HN, including in this most recent thread starting yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34496438
I didn't know about the "if it's mischarged it's free" policy. My local supermarket (not Coles or Woolies) always rings things in at the till wrong and I feel like I'm watching them like a hawk.
