> one time charge, this one is tricky as restricting access requires a back-end that needs ongoing maintenance and server costs

If a browser extension is allowed to use license keys (not sure on the various store rules i.r.t. browser extensions), you could create a timed license key that is cryptographically signed.

No back-end required for that.
Comment Period for FDA Draft Guidance on Psilocybin Ends on August 25
Tesla bets $76M on wireless EV charging. Can the tech go mainstream?
The FDA has published draft industry guidance for clinical administration of psilocybin. The comment period ends on August 25, 2023 (16 days from now).

The existing comments are interesting to read through, but those with information or expertise to contribute on this topic should consider submitting a public comment before August 25, 2023.
Priorities. And MBAs.

> for companies that we're paying > $100,000/yr. for access to their APIs

Case in point; they didn't need to provide any of that for you to pay. The value is coming from elsewhere, and they didn't think the extra upfront and ongoing cost of providing a client or docs is worth it.
People like to find ways to feel superior to others regardless of how much money they have. Money is just one of the easiest and most transversal ways.

But feeling like you have better opinions or thought deeper about subjects than others or that you know "how it really is", or that you're a better driver or whatever are other common ways. Whatever you feel like you are good at, or have a lot of, you will be tempted to feel superior about.

Fighting these thoughts is virtuous in my opinion. Pretending that only X type of people do it (rich or whatever) is not virtuous in my opinion.

I think that's a good thing, ultimately. Making it a non-issue avoids (if this means what I assume it does) the bureaucratic black hole of trying to prevent it.

It's up to educators to find ways to assess student knowledge beyond submitted written assignments. Though it must be said, this has been normal for educators since the beginning of education, basically. An in-person hand-written quiz, or a spoken conversation or presentation will show pretty quickly how much students have actually learned.

All of this depends on the actual parameters we are talking about

> last radius goes at the cube root of energy, blast area goes at the square of blast radius.

Only up to the point at which the blast wave touches atmosphere then strange things happen because the blast is now being tunneled into a vacuum. This likely reduces the blast of very big asteroids by channeling most of the energy back into space. However blast area isn't the only concern. An ice age can be triggered if enough matter is blasted into the upper atmosphere. You might increase the blast area by breaking the asteroid into smaller pieces but completely eliminate the risk of depositing light blocking particles in the upper atmosphere.

It is by no means guaranteed that if you break a big asteroid into eight pieces, they will all hit. The energy to split an asteroid may confer sufficient momentum that small if not all the pieces miss the Earth.

In computer engineering grad school, I mentioned to my PI that there was an upcoming hardware security flaw that I had heard about from … sources… and he quickly guessed it was speculative execution related without knowing anything more. I think people knew it was possibly dangerous, but the performance gains from speculative execution were huge enough nobody in Intel/AMD red-teamed the design basically.
We can debate about expressions/terminology, but these three countries are very very closely aligned with the US. Ofcourse its mutually beneficial.

A joke a military contact cracked once is that the only diff between these three and guam, is that guam is officially recognized as US territory.

Make of that what you will.
Aside from (and secondary to) monitoring, one thing it took me years to realize the benefits and ease of setting up early and i think other selfhosters commonly neglect: caching proxies and removing default internet routes.

Benefits include:

- Security

- Ease of configuring traffic control: As long as you're not redirecting UDP (have fun lol), steering apps with HTTP or SOCKS5 forward-proxies is so much more straightforward than routing.

- Performance/effieciency (global package cache for your network!)

- Resilience (apt upgrades and docker image pulls can keep working despite your entire network being offline)

My rough starting kit for a Linux-based network here would be:

- Some caching forwarding internal DNS server. If you already have an internal recursor or forwarder great, but it's good to let the DNS server serving your clients be separate anyway. dnsmasq/unbound/technitium/coredns/powerdns/yadifa.

- Internal NTP for syncing time. May be provided by your DNS or DHCP server already. chrony is good.

- apt-cacher-ng or other caching forward HTTP proxy for your apt/dnf/pacman/apk/whathaveyou updates.

- docker-registry-server in mirror mode and set up as mirror for any docker/podman hosts you have.
> nor is disability going to recognize it

You can still get it by taking any resultant symptom and exaggerating the hell out of it. Most of those qualify on their own right if bad enough.

I know someone who claims to have Crohn's and fibro and collects disability, but his credibility is extremely suspect.
> Obama lost the white non-college educated vote by 26 points to Romney, by the way.

I’m sorry what??

It was the complete opposite. Obama won the “high-school dropout” vote overwhelmingly. Had narrow majority amongst those who graduated and actually lost college graduate vote to Romney by 4%…

Romney also won every income bracket above 50k

Less educated people started voting for the Republicans in 2016 but not quite to the extent they voted for Obama.
This would expose internal DNS names when in an environment where they're not connected to their private DNS server.

The average distance between asteroids (and their nearest neighbours) in the asteroid belt is about 8 times the earth-moon distance. Most of these asteroids have roughly the same orbit, so they have almost no relative velocity. So to achieve a collision we have to dramatically change the velocity of one of them in order to hit the other in a reasonable time frame.

But this doesn’t take into account the masses. Asteroids vary in size from about 1 metre across to the dwarf planet Ceres, at 1000 km across. A giant asteroid is unlikely to have other giant asteroids nearby. If one giant asteroid is on a collision course with earth, what is the likelihood we’ll find a similar-enough sized one within a reasonable enough distance to be able to make them collide? Extremely remote.

If you'd be running Qalculate on a Linux desktop system, where all the "heavy" dependencies (ICU, GTK or Qt) are already present and shared between all applications, Qalculate wouldn't require 70MB.

Of course you could also provide a Win32 frontend to bring down the space requirements drastically and make it more Windows "native"; there's a well documented libqalculate for exactly those purposes.

Many of those cars were cheaper than Tesla before Tesla slashed prices. Also I'm not sure by what you mean by "not succeeding"; there hasn't been a massive decline in non-Tesla sales (since early 2022, Tesla's EV market share dropped from approximately 3/4 of the market down to around 1/2). I'm glad to see some effort toward industry-wide standards, but if anything, it's a suggestion that Tesla is hedging its bets to ensure continued ROI on the infrastructure they have built out even while they lose marketshare.
You can stand in the water for approx 200 meters from shore at waist depth for a big chunk of that Lahaina coast. Lahaina Roads (the water between Maui, Molokai, and Lanai) has LTE coverage cause the space is close enough to the coasts of all 3 islands.
But every time this comes up the threads are flooded with people saying it doesn't actually happen and the ad companies just work out what you're interested in by what you're browsing.
I don't think this is necessarily true. I run a software licensing API with quite a handful of customers running browser extensions with respectable user bases.

So there are monetization opportunities, just like any other distribution channel.

I came across mullvad some time ago (apparently they struck a deal with Mozilla). Anyway, their service is great and it is such a rare thing to just pay for a service without all the nonsense around. Just; click here to get an account. Nothing else. Then just freaking press pay, in any of a huge array of methods, including cash in the mail!
Sorry, that's partly my fault - I've replaced "open-source Retool for enterprise" with a more generic phrase now. Is it better?
This entire situation would have been avoided if you had sent me an an email saying, “Hey, we wanted to let you know that you are subscribed to an auto renewing plan that is set to charge your payment on file in two weeks.” Instead you have taken my money, and I have to spend my free time asking for it back.

> We cannot downgrade a subscription for you automatically, as only you can choose what data should be removed from your Proton account - it is impossible to downgrade the account to a Free subscription if it exceeds the limits of the Free subscription.

Add a button to delete all data in my account that appears when you tell me you can’t downgrade.

> The refund is automatically issued in the form of Proton credits which you can use for a Proton paid service in the future, or you can request the credits to be refunded back to your original payment method by contacting our support team

What is a proton credit? You chose to issue an unauthorized payment on my card in USD.

To summarize my experience, in order to cancel a subscription at the end of its period, one must:

- Set a reminder to cancel the subscription potentially years out because they cannot disable auto renew

Failing to cancel before being charged without a warning email, they must:

- Discover how to manually delete all of their files across various proton services to get their storage below a free tier threshold

- Email support to ask that their refund issued in proton credits be converted into their payment currency

- Respond to support’s email asking if they are sure they want a refund
I'd never get the job given how much of a loser I was in high school.
I was stuck in a wildfire in Maui years ago, I was driving to Lahaina. It was insane because for a very long stretch, I couldn’t turn back while fire raged on both sides of the highway pushing visibility to near 0, until a police vehicle came along and cleared a path for all of us to drive on the wrong side of the road. I would have gladly left my car and jumped on a raft.
Here is hoping that this marks the point where they "jumped the shark"
> Definitely better then Google Scholar imo.

It’s not at all in the same niche as Google Scholar. GS is a search engine to legitimate sources for scientific articles. It’s about finding where the articles are, not about getting the articles themselves.
This was my experience with canonical. I made it through the interview process to the offer stage and the offer was far from competitive for my country (the Netherlands).

Was bit bummed about this, I would love to work for canonical as they do great stuff and their embedded Linux offering is a great product. Just doesn't really make sense sadly.
> Instead of barfing when assigning a Float to an Int, just auto round?

Because you can’t really round many floats to Int.

A float can be larger than 10^38. If you ‘round’ that to a 64-bit signed integer, you have to return something that’s smaller than 10^19.

For doubles, it’s even worse. They can be larger than 10^308.

I think that indicates that “just auto round” isn’t an option.

The option “if a reasonable conversion exists, make it, otherwise bail out” IMO is a lot worse than having a way to try that conversion and somehow indicate to the programmer when it failed.
Cool to see dev-ex improvements around local Postgres testing. At Graphite we use pg-mem for fast unit tests, but it's not ideal. It's extremely fast, but certain advanced queries aren't supported. Curious about what others do for unit testing Postgres operations?

https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem
It totally depends on the market a candidate or company is operating in. A strong candidate has a lot more leverage than a weak one. A company that underpays in the local market has better luck hiring if they open their pool to remote. A company wanting a specific skill set might not find anyone willing to work for them without flexibility.
Well, it's like a series of tubes...
Postgres was cool. Now SQLite is cool. In a few years .INI files will be cool. Fads gonna fad.
Looks awesome.

I always check for committed and professional open source devs before I consider a project. The devs behind this one are experienced Vue folks.

Looking forward to giving it a try.
Love the candor and follow-up on community feedback! Sounds like y'all are working hard, keep it up :)
And then they will add a phishing site on that domain, looking like the one they meant to type, and scam people. So very shady, I think.
There are executive-class perks in most medium-to-large companies, but at least in tech, they're kept on the down low so you have to kind of look for them to find them. Personal assistants are probably the most visible. Private meeting rooms / bathrooms / entrances for the executives, chauffeurs, cooks, masseuses, access to corporate jets, hard-to-get tickets to sporting / arts events, separate housing allowances and company-paid villas, personal security, lots of financial perks like wealth management tools, free tax services, deferred comp and supplemental retirement savings. But these things don't tend to get flashed in front of the worker-bees.
>>>"It's insane to me that a group of educated and seemingly intelligent people seem to think they understand more about drug safety and prescribing than the FDA, researchers and physicians."

I'm currently on a psychiatrist prescribed drug which is illegal in Japan, which means I have to discontinue it before an upcoming trip. This is not a new drug, it's a generic.

So is it "insane that a group of educated and seemingly intelligent doctors" in the U.S. are prescribing this drug or "insane that a group of educated and seemingly intelligent doctors" at the Japanese equivilent to the FDA are not authorizing this drug?

I mean, it can't possibly be the case that neither group knows what it's doing, and that our scientific understanding of the brain is primitive, correct? One group has to be the insane one, right?
I used to use QOwnNotes (iirc) with NC on my desktop - and CloudNote (again, iirc) on my phone

But they would constantly complain about not being able to sync because a file was open :|

Now I just use NC to do the sync behind the scenes with Obsidian (or emacs, or any other editor of choice)
I'm not sure why you think what you said is relevant. Also, you seem insufferable.

Edit: oh, it's probably the autism.
I don't know what the solution to this is, but I know a few trusted/legitimate companies that sell their user data for around £20/year even after having monetized their users with actual money

I will never do this because violating privacy goes against the core of my beliefs, but there is a conflict I can't seem to work out. On the one hand, I KNOW that the vast majority of users prefer to sell their privacy than pay a single penny. They would gladly click on a "sell my data" over a "pay money" button any day of the week. I know this because I have interacted with enough users to know these things. Many users will suffer a fit when things are not free but won't lose any sleep over giving away their personal details. Again, I speak of the majority and in general terms

On the other hand, I want the internet to be a place where unscroupulous actors don't flourish. Most people don't expect to get things for free in the real world, why should the internet be any different? Why does everyone (myself included) always look for free stuff on the internet?

The worst bit of it all is that in the end, the only people interested in spending money online are data thieves and advertisers. Everyone else is giving their soul. Developers are somehow expected to work for free so that this entire edifice can stand
I have never heard about a researcher who would not provide an article when asked, ever. Most of them would also be happy to discuss the content of the articles, how they can be replicated and whether they are still accurate.

It does have more friction and latency than a search engine, though.
> scientists going to antarctica

I know someone who applied for a technical job based in antarctica and the interview process was much less arduous than the one described here.
I built an extension called Repibox that pulls the recipe out of any website that has instructions/ingredients in the meta data and displays it immediately. First time I got an acquisition email was exciting, but then I realized any acquisition would do a disservice to my friends/family who use my extension.
I think that also came late. It was when Oracle bought Sun. People who needed a drop-in replacement moved to MariaDB, but it was the last straw for people who were creating new projects and sort of hated MySQL anyway. Everybody remembered the other one.
Domain sellers lure you in with cheap domain for first year, but when the bill for second year comes, it's probably better to switch domains. As for hosting, your recommendation "All plans require a credit card.", and probably is a bit too much for simple blog. How about Netlify or Cloudflare Pages (comes with analytics as a bonus)?
> but few complained about bails out from tax payers.

I'm sure there were a lot of complaints...
There are narratives about, for example, a genocidal government using the iris scans to trace social media posts back to the people who make them.
“These findings underscore the importance for software developers in China to use well-supported encryption implementations such as TLS instead of attempting to custom design their own.”

I’m very interested in better understanding this. Why do they elect to do this? Is this just developer hubris, as found everywhere? Does this relate to government regulation or control, whether above or under the table?

Show HN: Remindme – A tool to set short-term reminders from the terminal
Hello there!

The idea behind this CLI tool is to use it for short-term reminders, e.g. to remind you (via OS-specific notifications) to do something in 2 hours or in 10 minutes.

The app is supposed to be cross-platform compatible. Still, I have limited access to platforms, so it was tested only on MacOS, Ubuntu (via VirtualBox), Fedora (via VirtualBox) and Windows 10 Home. I'd appreciate any feedback on how it works on these and other OS-es.

Also, I have never tested it outside my time zone (GMT+2), so it would be nice to hear from folks from other parts of the world.

Any feedback, comments, and questions are greatly appreciated, as it's just a tool built for fun.

Here is a short intro on how to use it:

Once installed (via Homebrew, APT, YUM or binary), the usage is pretty simple:

- to run the app:

remindme start

- to set a reminder in 5 minutes:

remindme in --min 5 --about "Rewatch LOTR editors cut"

Use `--sec` and `--hr` flags to set reminders in seconds or hours, respectively.

- to set a reminder at a specific time:

remindme at --time "22:20" --about "Replay Gothic video games"

Use `--am` or `--pm` flags with 12-hour A.M./P.M. format time value if you from this way of setting time.

- to see the list of incoming reminders:

remindme list

- to stop the app:

remindme stop

Please, check the GitHub repo README.md file to see the full list of available commands.

Thanks, and have fun!
