When I first moved into a dorm, I discovered how much this varies from person to person. If I even use the wrong soap, I end up smelling bad despite daily showers, other people can skip a couple of days if they aren't doing heavy workouts. My wife can go almost a week before she starts to smell.
The FAA's model definitely provides disincentives against getting help or a diagnosis, and this applies to mental and physical illnesses. I know that some pilots refuse to go to a physician (outside of the FAA-mandated physicals) because one diagnosis, even if it ends up being a false alarm, could ground them, potentially forever. Spend years getting a private pilot certificate, and/or decades working your way up to the airlines--who's going to risk having their family doctor one day say "hmm, that sounds weird..." when listening to your chest?
It would be more analogous to hft if

1. Platforms could detect they're sellng the same piece of good and automatically sort by price

2. There's no material difference between vendors other than pricing and offering, e.g. in customer service

3. vicious anti-competitive behaviour like those illustrated here are heavily regulated

When all these are true the vendors that survive would be ones that offer the best price among those who offer goods of the same level of crappiness.
The scary part is that he could very well have had this mental episode while in full control of his own aircraft, and at that point no one could have done anything to stop him.
So, GM's electric vehicle line consists of, what, the Bolt? The EV Blazer was supposed to be out this summer, but I see that it hasn't been released yet, either.

I guess taking out CarPlay took longer than Chevy thought. I'm glad we bought a Hyundai back in April instead of waiting on that Blazer.
Can someone give a plausible explanation why base64 is used instead of base85? Both are transcoded in linear time (Even base91 is possible in linear time but potentially still slower due to more difficult SIMD).

People have been making the argument for over a decade that base64 is incumbent and so people stick with it due to interoperability. But base85 represents a 20% compression gain for basically free from a computational perspective. Isn't that worth switching over as a widely used standard?
This is the government doing it, which is clearly wrong because they are supposed to be protecting your speech rights.

If someone robs a corner gas station, you think “dang that’s a shame”.

While rich people avoid taxes all the time and many of them outright evade them illegally, the focus of narrative entirely on how this causes public finance problems is a joke.

Modern states, especially large modern states, annually obtain absolutely gargantuan amounts of money and spend gargantuan amounts of money on all sorts of projects that very, very often are at best of dubious value and in all cases often managed in ways that make them far more expensive than they could be. Other vast amounts of that state spending are even outright destructive or purely criminal, with hundreds of billions per year going to military campaigns or support for different interests that are entirely motivated by power games.

Why should all this never be profoundly questioned? Why should it never be strongly questioned why a major state like the U.S. with an annual budget in the multiple trillions, which regularly spends hundreds of billions on absolute black holes of public finance, might not trim or change some of that spending?

At the same time placing all fashionable NGO and media focus on the far smaller amounts evaded by billionaires is nearly absurd in how unbalanced it has become, but then, they're easy whipping boys (and girls).

Even if you took all the wealth -not income or revenue but total wealth- in all known forms from all of the world's 2,688 known billionaires right now and applied it to public spending, its totality would barely cover the annual budget of the U.S. alone for more than 2 years. It would cover only a tiny fraction of the total pending outlay of the U.S. National Debt.

Again, this is just as the above applies to one country. Yet, it's the billionaires (and i'm no fan of them in many, many ways) that should be the explicit focus because of their tax avoidance schemes? I'd say that far larger issues exist with the sheer size of modern state spending, along with its scope and management problems.
Apparently not. "irritating billionaire, desperate for attention, makes arse of self" is a bit of a recurring theme; Musk is obviously the master of it, but he's just following in Trump's footsteps.

This trick stopped working at all of the gas stations I frequent, sometime within the last year or so.

All at approximately the same time, multiple brands. Or at least multiple signages, not sure I could attest to big oil corporate structure consolidations!

I assume it was a software update from the pump/ad network vendor, possibly in reaction to the secret getting out.

> how modern software empowers people that otherwise might not be able to write anything to write something "bad"

What's so special in the modern software? How do you tell if software is modern?

Few points to illustrate the difficulties with your descriptions: BASIC and SQL were meant to empower people ... to write something "bad" a very long time ago. So did Fortran, as well as some other languages / technologies that didn't survive to the present day.

Python or Java can be called "conservative" if you are very generous, but, really, in truth, should be called "anachronistic" considering programming language development that happened in the 70. Languages like J or Prolog are conceptually a lot more advanced than Rust or Go, but have been created much earlier. Many languages are actually collections of languages that have been created over time, eg. C89 through C23 -- does this make C a modern language? Only the C23? Is there really that much of a difference between C89 and C23?

Is there some other way to define modernity? I.e. not based on time of creation nor based on some imaginary evolutionary tree?
> Seems like it should be a "insert two keys" kind of thing then.

So if the plane's engine is actually on fire, you want to lengthen the process the flight crew has to go through to extinguish it?

Remember that "engine fire" actually means "plane could be seconds away from a jet fuel explosion".
I think it's mildly amusing that it's filed under a "Scam or Not?" feature – knowing that it was probably an journo finding a slot for an article they'd already had in mind.
Do I NEED to shower every day? Yes, I do. Hell, I could probably stand to take two showers a day. I'm hairy - VERY hairy - and I have a robust, musky odor that left unchecked quickly gets a bit too pungent, especially if I'm stress sweating. My fiancé claims to love it, but I'm always afraid others might think I stink. The second I can smell myself, I'm showering! I don't care how many times a day that happens to be.
yes, that makes sense. How would we also do that the other way, adding a 'Maps' tab to the podcast player?

It depends. Where do you live, how much do you sweat, and - important - how much stress you are under.

When I lived in a climate that was regularly over 40C, sometimes I showered twice a day. Now I live in a cool climate, and every 2-3 days is usually fine. But if I'm under stress, it's back to daily.

I don't necessarily think the product is bad, however if I were to think of it strictly as a user, I do not want this at all. A couple of reasons if you were looking for some legitimate feedback:

- I would have hard time trusting that "auto blur" would always function as expected

> While the Holocaust is used as justification for the creation of Israel, the Balfour declaration came decades before. Zionism was a European colonial project lead by Ashkenazim. The Mizrahim from Arab states migrated in numbers after the State of Israel was proclaimed.

So. How does this contradict anything I said?

Ashkenazi Jews came earlier and bought up land. That was land that was ruled by the Ottoman empire and later the English. We were discussing Palestinians driven from their home during the independence war. During that same time Mizrahi Jews were driven away from their homes.

> The Palestinian identity is definitely a modern creation, shaped primarily as a reaction against Israel. But it's not too different from the notion of a Jewish People who need a separate homeland, shaped by European anti-Semitism.

Again. I don't see how this collides with anything I said. I very much believe in a two state solution and have a lot of empathy to the plight of the Palestinian people. The Hamas is evil though, not a freedom fighting organization.

I think there are plenty of legitimate things Israel can be blamed for (settlements, treatment of the PLO post Oslo, etc.). Arguing over history is pointless, both sides have deep victimization grievances. The Hamas is only making matters worse for the Palestinians and harder for those of us trying to bring about a Palestinian state.
Yes, actual doctors / physicians.

This would only stop borrowing via loans that are collateralized by stock assets. These banks would presumably still offer uncollateralized loans to these folks (you have $X billion dollars, I'm confident you'll be able to pay off a loan for 2% of that, here you go, no collateral needed). Then, the end effect will be slightly riskier loans for the banks, and slightly higher interest rates for the billionaires.

And if you set the limit at $500k, you're going to block rich, but not super rich folks from taking out loans to start new businesses, etc. To me it seems this would hurt more than help.
The inverse does not hold true at all. Homeowners have locked in 3% mortgages that they would surrender if they sold but buyers would have to take out a 8% mortgage to buy the same house. It’s both a bad time to buy and a bad time to sell because every transaction creates a huge deadweight loss that is economically negative for both parties.
They don't sit around with zero dollars either though, right?

Even without a wealth taxes there are situations where someone may need to borrow or sell assets to cover a tax bill. The billionaires will be ok.
That's really cool. Cloud be really use full for local businesses. They often embed Google maps, but I feels like having a map from the local are would be sufficient, and cheaper.
> I can't imagine many scenarios where a commercial flight would want to actively shutdown the engines with just a simple command while midair.

The scenario has already been mentioned elsewhere in this thread: an engine fire. If the engine is actually on fire, you want the flight crew to shut it down as quickly as possible, because the plane could be seconds away from a jet fuel explosion.
I have to wonder whether the coolers can even maintain their target temperature with this set up -- maybe health inspectors should get involved.
Right, but they will learn. GMLRS apparently isn't pulling in the same haul now as it was last year.
Yes, I was wrong, it counts.

Now please address their sales of EVs.
Great comments!
In fact for most people it is quite easy to wash by using a bit of soap, without showering. It is faster as well. The once-a-week shower including shampooing the head, will feel so much better and can last a little longer.
The engine shutdown is there in case of engine fires. Gliding without engine power is a bad situation, but being on fire is worse.

And usually it's just one engine that's malfunctioning, so you shut that one down and fly to the nearest airport on the remaining engine.

This article is like pretty much all these types of articles. The conclusion is "it depends" and "here is why you are showering wrong"
There was not a major change in interest rates over that period.
The people who are in dire need of showering every day are those who don't shower. Therefore, the test to determine whether showering is needed is to measure your own bathing frequency. If you're already not showering daily, you're funky and your odor is upsetting very polite people around you.

This is my HN-friendly way of telling you to shower daily.
This varies so much from person to person, I wouldn't believe any blanket statements either way on this.
Trusting a bunch of people seems a lot better than trusting a single person. For instance, in this case, the two sane pilots were able to restrain the third and prevent a disaster.
You can measure it with an inline USB power meter. They generally run between half a watt idle and 2 watts depending on what you're doing (using a camera, Wi-Fi, and keeping the CPU busy) and if you've shut down things like the video output and LEDs to try to save power.
I don't think that's the intent.

I think the intent is to analyze it in a way to avoid other potentially harmful incidents.

Were in this transition period. For a looog time cops were told to try and convince 'undesirables' to leave. As in swarthy types who are lower class than the local powers that be are comfortable with. And we're now telling them not to do that anymore. They hate that because we're taking the fun part of the job away.

And more recently we've decided that they shouldn't bother with piddly drug users. They hate that because it was easy pickings. Instead we want to focus on property crime. That's work. And worse courts and the politicians don't take that seriously.

This is basically a rewrite of the captions for the NWS (National Weather Service) Bay Area video that was released over the weekend. These look like the slides from their presentation.

The big takeaway from the video (not covered in this summary) is that most of the rain will be coming end of January/February
> What does "reputable" mean in this case when these universities are handing diplomas to graduates who can't code? Somehow we've gotten ourselves into the situation where we force someone with a CS degree from Stanford write some leetcode, even when the people on the hiring panel themselves have degrees from Stanford. Do they still not trust their own university?

What's the alternative? Just give leetcode tests to people who didn't go to the same university as the hiring panel?

The fact that we have the same tests for everyone no matter where they studied at is a good thing and prevents nepotism in hiring decisions.

There is waste in private enterprise to be sure. The key difference is that that mostly punishes people who voluntarily invested and can choose to stop investing if they get fed up with it. That's (practically?) not at all the case in terms of federal government waste.
I doubt it's so much "no one wants home internet anymore" but more "Comcast is so expensive and annoying that mobile is nicer".
Do you shampoo every day? My hair also became really greasy without showering until I started shampooing ~1-2 times a week.

I still shower daily, I just don't always use soap/shampoo.

A knife cut to the speaker diaphragm probably would just make the audio harsh and possibly (perceptually) louder. I've repaired speakers in similar conditions before. A complete girdling of the diaphragm is probably tricky to do through the speaker grille.

My suggestion would be to spray expanding polyurethane foam (e.g. Great Stuff) into the grille. Immobilize the diaphragm, and muffle anything that's left.

But, vandalism is bad. Even when it is justified retaliation. :-/

Thanks for the suggestion for Candex, will look into getting some asap! I've been using one called GI-Microb-X for my mom and otherwise just staying on an anti-candida diet. We so far are just staying away from all breads and mainly eating vegetables + meat + fish + nuts, etc. Going to ease back into some things, like e.g. as you say spelt bread maybe not so bad, but we're still getting over the acute phase of this so being pretty strict to begin with. Thanks again for the recommendation.
