Ground crew increased risk is probably coming almost completely from exposure to carcinogens in the materials they're working with.

However, the gap between ground crew rates and air crew rates, plus known similar effects in civilian airliner crew (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/aircrew/cancer.html) indicates that it's likely that a significant component of increased risk for pilots and aircrew may be related to high altitude.

This doesn't rule out something like... increased exposure to flame-retardants (or something) (fabrics, other materials, or maybe off-gasing into air supply) that may be carcinogenic.
There's no scientific reason for you to have been tired, hungry, and depressed unless you introduced foods you were allergic/sensitive to, or you did not eat a balanced complete diet. All essential nutrients can be found in vegan diets, other than B12, if you are not eating fortified foods. You may have had a B12 deficiency, which is extremely cheap and easy to supplement.

It might be worth trying again and seeing a doctor and getting blood work if you feel off.
There absolutely ARE philosophers FOR business: I knew a professor of philosophy whose consultency speciality was helping large entity boards come to terms witht their goals. he described it as the healing balm of thinking for the guilt borne by the very rich.

Surely at one extent, in the more theoretical of economists who stray into moral questions, there is the emergence of a bastard stepchild of philosophy?

Pretty certain that Colm Doherty was not referring to this game when he said this, but somehow it seems applicable.

Brilliant job!
Singapore is a complex beast. On the one hand, all the political tools to kick the PAP out exist. Elections are free albeit not entirely fair.

That said the PAP has used the legal system to exclude opposition candidates and the election districts are gerrymandered [0].

But even with these issues resolved I believe the PAP would still win elections [1]. They've steered the economy well. The PAP regularly receive praise here on HN because of their effective technocracy.

I agree. A good first step would be to figure out how to align the markets with the needs of the ecosystems that support those markets.

It's hard to get excited about going vegan when that can of lentil soup costs the same as a can of beef stew despite one being 10x more energy intensive to create. Are you really reducing demand for meat or are you just making making meat cheaper for everyone else?
Your analogy uses loaded terms (co-conspirator) and makes use of biased character portrayals (alone by a sketchy bridge at 2AM, don't wear a wire).

Even in this case, unless the court issued an order that forbids physical meet-up/contact between the accused, I don't see anything the court can hold against them. Meeting at a bridge at 2AM is not a crime, and doesn't mean they are avoiding anything other than other people.
Sorry that’s nonsense. Companies spend hundreds of billions of dollars on FB and IG marketing (presumably because they see a benefit) and are willing to pay companies to help them do it.

Many companies large and small rely on getting most of their business from a single entity, whether that’s the US military, Ford, or contractors working at a local company.

VeriDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that provides a secure and efficient identity verification solution using blockchain technology and biometric authentication. VeriDAO allows individuals to create a digital identity that is tamper-proof and resistant to hacking, providing a more secure and reliable method for identity verification. By leveraging the power of DAOs, VeriDAO is fully autonomous and operates without the need for a central authority or governing body, providing individuals with greater control and ownership over their personal data. VeriDAO has been invented and developed by Mr. Carozzi Leonardo, a seasoned blockchain technology expert with years of experience in the field.

*Problem:* Traditional identity verification methods are often inefficient, costly, and vulnerable to hacking and data breaches. Additionally, individuals often have limited control over their personal data, which can be misused or stolen by unauthorized parties.

*Solution:* VeriDAO provides a decentralized identity verification solution that is more secure, efficient, and user-friendly than traditional methods. By using biometric authentication and blockchain technology, VeriDAO ensures that an individual's personal data is secure and tamper-proof. Additionally, by leveraging DAOs, VeriDAO eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional identity verification methods.

*Market:* VeriDAO's target market includes businesses and organizations that require identity verification as part of their operations, such as financial institutions, healthcare providers, and online marketplaces. The global identity verification market is expected to reach $17.8 billion by 2027, providing a significant opportunity for VeriDAO to capture market share.

*Revenue Model:* VeriDAO's revenue model is based on a subscription-based model, offering different tiers of service with varying levels of identity verification and biometric authentication depending on the needs of the business or organization. The service is offered on a monthly or yearly basis, with pricing based on the number of verifications required.

*Marketing and Sales Strategy:* VeriDAO will leverage digital marketing channels such as social media, search engine optimization, and targeted advertising to reach potential customers. Additionally, VeriDAO will attend industry conferences and events to network and build relationships with potential customers.

*Team:* VeriDAO's leadership team includes experienced professionals with expertise in blockchain technology, biometric authentication, and DAOs.
That set of rules is as restrictive as it's possible to be. What is the operational difference between "cockroaches are free to live in my house, but they must remain unseen at all times" and "cockroaches are forbidden from living in my house"?

The problem is, cancer frankly isn't the Pentagon's problem, because it usually develops after service members leave active duty. They kick this problem down the road to the Department of Veteran's Affairs instead.
"Plant-based diet" != "Plant based meat". I wish people learned at school how to cook a vegetarian meal. You don't need meat to make something delicious, you don't need meat to get the required amount of protein, it's all bullshit. You get everything you need from non-animal sources.

My reading is that Bob also happens to be the bankruptcy judge aka the state. Bob says that he is still owed $10 billion dollars but everyone else takes their lumps.

In plain terms, money lent from the government is not discharged in bankruptcy. It all has to get paid back with interest. Private lenders of emergency liquidity and get zeroed out.
How do you explain the US cables from that day that were leaked by Wikileaks which contradict the official Western narrative?
Economical benefits has always been a hit and miss and lots of the older generation have learnt their lesson (even before the HK affair).

Lots of producers of different kinds have had their technologies copied, skills learnt and then abandoned for and only to hire them on a consultancy basis for when things break.

In hindsight it has likely hurt Taiwan's economy more than it has helped.
I don't know about my attic and garage. I have a zero tolerance policy for widow spiders in/on the house, although I leave their predators alone to have a natural deterrent.

But living in the south, I have noticed brown widows winning the battle for my wood piles. I'm not sure I realized they were a different species until recently. I just assumed they were a natural variation in color, perhaps related to age. Now that I've realized the difference, I'm definitely realizing most of the widows I encounter are the brown variety.
Recently I wanted to try and use this to filter out logs I don't care about, but it seemed a lot more involved than I initially thought.

The study found that aircrews had 87% higher rates of melanoma and 39% higher rates of thyroid cancer. Men saw 16% higher rates of prostate cancer.

I don't think Benzene is the main risk factor for those type of cancers . Benzene causes blood cancers, lymphomas.
The ledger wouldn't stop the abuse at all. USDT is a ledger. The ledger didn't change at all when Binance's public position moved from "every USDT is backed with an actual dollar" to "well we have a reserve of dollars and some... er ... other assets", and nothing about the ledger tells you if Binance ever had the dollars in the first place.
South Bay Area has quite a few prosperous cities (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Cupertino, Saratoga) where the demographics are politically liberal in candidate preference and their public schools are outstanding. Maybe they're not as good as the private schools you're talking about, but the cities in South Bay tend to be brimming with optimism for their young generations.

In one well known city with a strong middle class, one might expect half of the students to be on the fastest math track available and half of the math faculty in the local high school to be Calculus teachers. The surrounding cities are not too much different.

I wonder what makes your city different? Would you mind specifying what region you're talking about?
So, OK for developers to use ChatGPT in their work, not OK for recruiters.

> This isn’t a case of one species outcompeting another for food or habitat. In research published Monday in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, biologists found that young brown widow spiders have a dramatic tendency to seek out and kill their American cousins.

That sounds like... a case of one species outcompeting another for habitat. What does Asher Elbein think territorial competition normally looks like? I'll call the tree, and you call the tree, and whoever it goes to gets to live in it?
> Who cares if he isn’t intimately familiar with RPi4 prices and availability?

He says he has about 100 of them and made a number of specific claims on it - that he's some huge supporter of it. I chose that example because it was conclusively wrong.

Regardless, that's not the point.

The point is everyone will rise to his defense based on his status regardless of his content.

Not like that has been clearly demonstrated in my replies or anything ...
My approach is they're free to do whatever as long as they keep out of my way. That is, they're welcome to set up webs in ceiling corners, or in hard-to-reach areas that I forget exist. But if they try setting up a web near a place I frequent or things I often use, I'll give them a forceful relocation.
I suppose this is just more of a case of ease of use.

Personally I think the only realistic / sure fire testing method would be a student sitting down with a professor and just discussing the material. Q&A, "show me what you know" or even just discussion would work... heck the student might learn more... maybe that's even a path to a better place?

That's assuming we actually want to know / care if the student is learning anything.
One could get into a long debate about whether "most" is literally true or not, but I think most of us should be able to agree that at least a significant proportion of people - enough to matter - either won't or can't think of this without some prompting.
Saw this making rounds as today's villain.

I confess I agree, though. Thing is, there are a lot of red flags. And life is too whatever to think this red flag is a hill to die on.

Will it be a reason not to work somewhere? No. Of course not. Is it susp? Absolutely.
Sure, but that's not reality.

The average person isn't going to give up the taste of meat. If you want to solve problems, work within the realms of the actual constraints. It's far easier to make plant based meat cheaper than to change the taste preferences of billions of people.
>Vietnam seems much more open. Their internet is largely open and accessible. Even easy to register sims. They have no quarantine or vaccine requirements for entry or visa etc.

This is patently false. I do not know what time period you went to Vietnam but recently their country literally went into lockdown and did not open until much later. They still require proof of vaccination to enter the country and I was told to present my ID and visa before I was allowed to get a sim card. They also blocked many social media and news sites like BBC. Any content remotely critical of the party over there is blocked and their authors arrested. It is very reminiscent of early China.

They definitely can ramp it up once they get their hands on more surveillance tech.
Cue Indiana Jones: This should BE IN A MUSEUM

The early mice were sometimes nice and sometimes not. People rave about the depraz, I found it clunky and very hard to adjust to. it was not a forgiving shape. The mouse on the lisa was in some ways designed for tiny hands. I never quite felt I was using a grown-up input device (the depraz on the other hand felt like it should be attached to missile command, the real one, not the game)

Light pens were really nice because there was no disconnect between the hand movement and the thing being controlled: you pointed at it and the VBI interval and light sensing told the computer what x,y offset you were pointing at.

With a mouse, you had to learn what musicians of all kinds learn early on: don't look at your hands, look at the music.
> The mere fact of having a text-based chat is itself a written record.

But it doesn't mean it was a "recorded" record, in the same way that having a conversation over the phone necessarily means it was recorded. Sure, in both cases there is "a recording" because the communication needs to be recorded in order to send it. But there's not a "recording" in the sense that it was saved somewhere to be available later.

In what way is an unrecorded text conversation different than in unrecorded voice conversation?
> the undesirable instances

Which would that be? Undesirable by whom? Who gets to decide whether an instance is "undesirable"? I'd think that what is undesirable to one is the bee's knees to the other. Who is to be the arbiter of desirability? In a truly distributed system the answer would be 'nobody - everybody'. Are you talking about instances which are blocked in the source code of Mastodon? Blocked in some of the clients? In that case the answer is 'those who created those blocks'. Are they to be the arbiters then?
I have no idea, but that would be a real shit show if they didn't have physical currency due to a jump in demand.
Ask HN: LLM for “talking to” a code repo? (like chatpdf.com, but for a codebase)
Is there a way (yet?) to add a chat layer to a codebase? Basically a layer that would take it's best guess at the ERD and functions after reading the code, then be able to articulate about it and respond to questions?

One of my biggest struggles is "getting to know" a codebase when I first walk up to it. I'm trying my best to get better, but I have to balance that with actually producing deliverables. It would help radically if a teammate (or better yet, the author!) could spend a few hours with me answering questions, but who has that kind of time! So an LLM wading through a codebase and then being able to sufficiently answer my questions about how modules relate, "what's [thisFunction] for?" and "where's the file that [doesThing]?" and the like would be absolutely something I would pay for.

Anything out there already? Is this an unmet market need, now that we know the tech is up to the challenge?
It would seem like the US economy has become addicted to stimulus, bailouts, and other intervention. That is what reserve currency does.
What does this graph prove exactly? It goes up steadily for decades where there weren't any inflation, and then had a sudden bump 2 years before the inflation started.

Inflation was caused by the massive fiscal spending (stimmies) not the FED
I agree, but a crisis is the ideal time to examine the root causes that led to the crisis and to re-examine the assumptions upon which the environment that led to the crisis were based on.

Fractional reserve central banking is a giant Ponzi scheme that leads to bank failures again and again. Any business that will fail if 20% of its customers use the product as intended (withdrawing funds from a demand account) is fundamentally unsound.

If we fail to learn from our mistakes we are destined to repeat them.

You're totally right obviously that there are but also I think we're at a point in the history of humanity where we're informed enough to take the impact of our actions into consideration regardless of how long we've performed those actions.
"Many claimed software was largely worthless because it was only replacing existing analog alternatives."

The most glaring flaw in that argument, especially with that specific context, is that those rockets would not exist without software.
> Fiat is trash

I'll gladly take that trash off your hands if you hate it so much
It's a loan that will be paid back within 90 days. Most for the money won't enter circulation and is only a liquidity backstop for banks. The rest of the money will be gone in a few months. This is extremely different from traditional QE which involves buying long dated bonds.
It might still be better than Asia with crazy working hours, bosses that call/text you outside of work non-stop, having to attend to work gatherings, working on weekends, etc.

Not like people don't commit suicide elsewhere. UK might not be the best but it's still a lot better than some places.

UK is far from a decaying shithole and based on recent polling many of the elements of Brexit may possibly be wound back in coming years so its future is far more optimistic.

And yet for all its problems it is still a modern, vibrant, multicultural, successful democracy on the doorstep of Europe. Which is why so many people continue to emigrate there.
The banks didn't need to buy those bonds back in 2021. The fed could have just done it and prevented all the ensuing drama once rates rose ahead of time.
There was an article in the WSJ today how the San Francisco Fed cited SVB multiple times in 2022 for their risk to rising interest rates, and how SVB's models were wrong. SVB believed the rising interest rates would improve their outlook, not be a risk.
This is why companies invest so much resources in bot detection and stopping them. At the same time, this has given rise to industries and technologies that try to emulate human behavior.

It's not really an attack.

Pin is obviously less secure (however this could be mitigated by using a TPM as other commenters said) but it's not the default.

Their help page on pin even warns about the security risk, they should have the warning in the application.

I'll still use bitwarden (without pin).
“Doesn’t look like anything to me.”
i'd imagine physical currency is not a problem - it's easy to roll the printers.

And there's often a hard limit on how much physical currency can be withdrawn on short notice, and to do more you'd have to make a call to prep the bank first. This means they will have a chance to ship newly minted paper in to cover it, as long as the bank's liquidity allows for it.
The point is prestige overrides all other faculties.

As a addendum, if it's hnuser:kristopolous pointing this out, then since there is no clout and prestige attached to my name I get attacked.

It's equally OK for devs and recruiters to use it -- but with a strong caveat emptor about using it without understanding what it's doing.

If a dev asked ChatGPT to write a script, and then they used that script in production without first giving it a glance to make sure there was no injection attack, it would be just as worthy of derision.

As long as the regular Joe doesn’t get extra money to spend, inflation will be check. Banks won’t go buy eggs anytime soon.

We had close to 0% interest rates for almost a decade, and inflation was in check. It’s not the Fed that caused inflation, it is:

* Suspending school debt (extra income)

* Injecting real cash into the economy (stimulus checks and PPP loans to small businesses)

* Supply chain bottlenecks after Covid

All things that make real people wake up tomorrow and decide to spend some extra cash they have around in their bank account. It’s very tangible, it’s very measurable.

Of course 0% interest rates didn’t help, but it wasn’t the originating source of our inflation problems, as the previous 13 years of QE didn’t cause a spike in inflation.
