Aspirin and Ibuprofen will tear up your stomach and intestinal linings. Think internal bleeding. Alas I had to push back an epidural I desperately needed for back pain a few years ago by a week or two because I was taking too much Ibuprofen. I had blood in my urine as a result.
That's a very weird counter argument:

> This column explains that banks do not create money out of thin air. From an economic viewpoint, commercial banks create private money by transforming an illiquid asset (the borrower’s future ability to repay) into a liquid one (bank deposits); they would quickly be insolvent otherwise.

When a bank makes a loan of $10K to a person, it's not "transformed" out of anything. Saying it's "transformed out of the borrower's ability to repay" is sheer nonsense. It makes as much sense as saying it's transformed out of fairy dust.

It's not transformed out of anything. It's simply created, the way any IOU is.

But nobody is claiming the creation is money is unconstrained, on the other hand. Just because it's generated out of nothing doesn't mean there aren't rules around it if you want to keep your bank in business.
So if your app gets too "good" and users use it too much, then you have broken the law?

It is indeed saying that, you can't model secondary effects and they are ignored in this analysis.

If you believe trying to have the rich pay more of the government budget is only going to lead to them paying less, no other assumptions needed, there is no discussion.

OVH absolutely does have dedicated servers at this price point, and below - check out their Eco range (previously SoYouStart) or even Kimsufi. Leaseweb often does as well, although they have not been as good a deal recently from my perspective (and can cost more for transfer).
Heh. I'm at the tail end of either COVID or the worst sinus infection of my life. I asked my wife to grab some (real) Sudafed from the CVS, which they also were not stocking (they are constantly robbed), but the pharmacist recommended "oxymetazoline hydrochloride" (Afrin?) as being just as effective without the side effects.

Gotta say, she wasn't wrong. As a nasal spray it works way quicker than Sudafed pills and without the "tweakiness" (worst was some heart racing, but I could still sleep on it).

Was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked as a decongestant. I don't think there's anything useful to junkies in it but it was still locked up for some reason. A+++ would buy again.
Friend, I don't know how to say this politely, but I'll try my best: you're really missing something fundamental here and I'm not sure what it is or why you're so persistent on thinking it's okay to allow a government agency full access to your drive through third party contractors. Please, for your own sake, do some independent research. Or talk to a lawyer. Or read articles about prosecutorial abuse. Many of us have told you this is a bad idea and in no uncertain terms: it's a BAD idea to allow unfettered access to your shit.

I highly recommend you take an afternoon off and sit in a criminal court room and watch how criminal cases progress through the system. Especially for things like drug crime, and especially when evidence is weak. You will learn so much.

Please do that for yourself?

But they could offer a protection plan that is not tied to your personal insurance in any way and relieves you of the burden of getting your insurance company involved at all. That's what car rental LDW plans do.

"We offer the Loss Damage Waiver so you don't have to worry or stress about driving our vehicles. The LDW isn't insurance, but it can protect you from the cost of damage to the Hertz’ car. By purchasing the LDW, you will not be responsible for any loss or damage that occurs to the car so long as you weren't using the car in a prohibited manner."

It was profitable in 2018/2019. It had a big loss in 2020 and almost recovered in 2021. All in all, they weren't doing terribly bad at the time (but not well either).

Elon has not made it profitable as far as I know. In 2022 90% of revenue was from ads which got gutted after Elon. 3 months ago, there were still under https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musk-says-twitters-c... and I haven't seen anything really positive since.

I've assumed that the suit is over the fact that Meta intentionally and algorithmically seeks to test what content gets you to stay on their site and feed you more of that.

I’m just going to assume it’s a liability thing:

* Cruise gets in an accident and stays in the road, passenger gets out and gets hit.
* Cruise gets in an accident and pulls to the curb, passenger can get out on the curb (and if they don’t, and get hit, Cruise can claim it pulled over).

I could see this decision being made (or reviewed by) legal. Which sounds like a truly awful way to build a product.

I agree with you on the adhockery as well. Sounds like it.
With cats, vehicles and buildings it's something like 100 million annually while wind turbines it's like 100-400k.

So, not just way more but 200-500x more.

With eagles the numbers killed are in order of hundreds.

Newer wind turbine designs also reduce the number of bird deaths considerably.

The scale of the problem is clearly small, relatively speaking. It would be ignored under normal circumstances, just like the #1 and #2 deaths for eagles currently are, but the carbon industries gave this story some great PR.
That's just bog-standard insurance fraud.

Writing your application using UDP rather than TCP doesn't mean it will continue to work when you unplug the network cable. That's not the abstraction leaking, that's the premises being violated. TCP is actually very specific about what it does and doesn't guarantee.

That SQL example may have been a real bug in one database 20 years ago, but it's not something that happens in reality. Query planners work well enough that you can't generally beat the query planner - PostgreSQL won't even let you try, quite deliberately.

And if you look at even one of the classic FP examples like monoid, not only do they not leak, but you can literally mathematically prove that they don't. If you have two lists of a monoid, sum(a) + sum(b) will always equal sum(a + b). The whole post is just a failure of imagination; rather than proposing that all abstractions are leaky because you can't think of any good ones, a better post would ask what it would take to constitute a valid abstraction and then try to figure out whether that's possible or not.

This is misleading. Tylenol in therapeutic dosages does not seem to have much ill effect on the liver, it is not like alcohols or other direct liver toxins. Even people with advanced stage liver disease can receive acetaminophen. When it becomes toxic at supratherapeutic doses it is very toxic.

Yes, staying at some multiple of your refresh rate is the general advice. So 60 would be ok on a 120Hz screen.

The OP's comment that started all this, is doing 24fps at 165hz, which is 6.875. They claim to be in the gaming world too, which makes their bizarre decision even more puzzling. Just don't do this.

Yes, that's what works for me. And of course it used to be available OTC until the government decided to control access to it because of fears of meth.
Good question. The market for ETFs in general has exploded in the last decade or two.

>Imagine if Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit had been kept so pristine.

I find it unlikely I would have heard about them, my local library was full of books from the 50's I had never heard of and was reluctant to read. Seeing the Hobbit cartoon gave me an interest in it that I followed up on in middle school.

On that note, the only way most children will hear of Calvin and Hobbes is if their parents were big fans or through the many unlicensed products available. Maybe that's fine, but people seem strangely proud that's the case.
Version Capping Is Evil
A fun fact is that both Ephedrine and PE are naturally derived from the Ephedra plant. During WW1 and WW2 there was a lot of research into how we can make these chemicals more potent and that's basically how we ended up with meth. Many soldiers came home after WW2 still addicted to meth and for a few years you could actually buy meth at your local drugstore as an OTC.
Wild. I just walk up to the pharmacy inside my grocery store. Adds about 5 minutes to my shopping trip.
This reads more like drivel than anything else.
I have talked about this before, but it really all depends on 1) the area you're in and 2) what kinds of class signals you emanate. I'm a well-dressed white guy in Seattle, and I've never had any trouble buying pseudoephedrine: they just check my ID and then give it to me. Meanwhile I have relatives in a depressed part of the midwest who, with the best love in the world, are visibly lower-class, and they say they get hassled and roadblocked constantly trying to get it. It's pretty naked classism and rather fucked up.
There's nothing wrong with the concept of discoverability. Having the capability of discovering how to do thing X without referring to documentation is fine. The problem is when users are forced to rely on it because the documentation is trash or nonexistent. That does seem to be a trend and I share your frustration with it, but discoverability and good documentation can (and should) coexist.
They were, for a long time.
Monitor refresh rate and FPS your GPU can generate are very related[1].

Again, your setup is so far from ideal, you should reconsider. Reduce your refresh rate to some multiple of 24 if you insist on 24 for some unknown reason.

And yet still had enough for both of you, and that's if you both don't purchase the meds, and go to a 2nd store, or go to the same store the following day or week. 9 GRAMS every 30 days. The 20cnt box of Sudafed is 120mg pills, so 2400mg total, or 2.4 grams per box, and that's not all phseduo, which I think the 9 grams is only concerned with. So you'd have to look at how much of that 120mg is the limited material if that's the case. Assuming they mean the entire pill. That means every 30 days, each adult in your family can buy 3 boxes each (3.75 technically but I rounded down) from the same store. So 60 bills, to cover 30 days, per adult. How is that not enough for your daily single dose? 3 boxes just you can buy covers 2 adults taking it daily. This is where all the complaints that it's too restrictive fall apart. When you do the math, there is room to stockpile and STILL take it daily...

The rate limiting is just that, limiting the rate, making it more effort to obtain mass amounts so it's more time consuming to gather up for abuse. The goal was never to stop meth production with the limit, it was to seriously slow it down, which it has, which equates to less of it overall on the streets. And the limits as we just calculated are more than a single person should need if taking the pill daily, which is the max allowed dose. So, it's not an issue, and we just proved it with math, now excuse me I have to go beat my own ass for saying we just proved something with math.
Did they give that reason?

Ah, good point. People combine alcohol and other meds with that all the time, which can be not so harmless. We shouldn't be putting that in random meds for people who are stuffed up or have a cough.

Ibuprofen can also be liver toxic, but I believe the LD50 is significantly higher than the other options. I have not been able to find an exact number online.

As has been mentioned by others in this discussion, ibuprofen can also cause stomach upset (my wife has this problem, even when she takes it with food).

The day before I flew from Europe to South America a few weeks ago I had a completely stopped nose. Solid brick. I was terrified of damaging my ears. I took Afrin and some real Sudafed, starting about six hours before flying, and was careful to start balancing my ear pressure as soon as the plane started to descend (which was about 25 minutes before landing and 10 minutes before they announced descent). Zero problems. One or both of those two drugs is a miracle.

(It probably helped that the second leg of the flight landed in Bogota, where air pressure is less than it is in a commercial jet. But the first leg landed near sea level.)

"Right to repair" isn't all about demanding modular parts, in most cases right-to-repair proponents aren't even asking the manufacturer to sell them parts. Right-to-repair advocates want the "option" to repair their own device at the very least. Manufacturers of devices are starting to intentionally brick devices when the replaced parts have not been specifically paired with the device. They're using the smokescreen of "security" to justify this, but with no options to accept the security implications.

Imagine replacing a windshield in your car, and the car refuses to let you turn on the windshield wipers until you activate the windshield with the manufacturer. The manufacturer will not activate 3rd party windshields. Or imagine replacing the seatbelt spool/cartridge in your car, and the car refuses to stop dinging because the part has not been activated by the manufacturer.

This is what manufacturers are slowly doing to all devices and parts. Between excuses of security and wanting to control the user experience, it's all anti-consumer BS.

Exactly right - and initially the expanded use of these systems is not visible. PRISM, for example, was found to be used frequently by NSA employees to look into the activities of romantic interests or exes. Nobody knew about it for years until an audit took place. We're told that the abuse of this system was unusual and handled appropriately, and no longer a problem. (Is it, really?)

The next phase is of course the court cases, where authorities seek legal access to the data which is collected. Usually the police win these cases to establish legal precedent. Still - your average citizen is not reading civil rights-related or tech-related news, and they have no idea this happens.

By the time your average person finds out what the newly collected data is being used for, it's far too late to do anything about it.

Then there's the political aspect, which we are not likely to ever hear about. The boss's boss's boss's boss needs a favor done, don't ask why or for whom. That data, go get it. Listen, be discreet, no email and no cell phone. This is the one which is the most scary; an authoritarian in power who wants to target the opposition. Depending on the country, that could be a list of people who disappears and is never seen again - or in the US, gets raided over dubious charges by the local police as a form of harassment.

you could do it, but just because the USG software was a fork of Vyatta that had a way for doing it and Ubiquiti never put the effort to block it..

But this is why when it came time to upgrade my USG3 i choose to migrate to Opnsense (pfsense fork) instead of upgrading to the latest Ubiquiti router.
