Can’t speak to the effectiveness of OTC decongestants but an ENT once gave me topical cocaine inside of my nostrils. That really opened me up and I could breathe for what seemed like the first time in a long time. The permanent solution is septioplasty with turbinate reduction in my case.
So get rid of third-party cookies and also don't add this abomination as a replacement.

(Obvious response: "there are legal reasons why we can't do that, it'd be viewed as anticompetitive". Obvious response to the obvious response: "stop being simultaneously an ad company and a browser vendor and it would no longer be anticompetitive".)
Didn’t Musk come clean and say he was trying to stop the California HSR?

He didn’t intend to build it.
Nintendo tried to do this with game boy games and got told by the courts to shove it.

Which is right, it's only good for consumers if Apple just sucks it up and accepts that they need to support stuff like this.

They're happy enough to use wifi/Bluetooth/other comms specs. Vendor lock in special cult club effect I guess. It's just a phone...
I think it also massively complicates the failure modes. Freight trains pretty frequently lose cargo and or derail. That's probably way more annoying to deal with if it's in a really long tunnel.
If there were any market incentive whatsoever for that, it would already exist. The FDA does not have magical anticompetitive powers that make people care less. We have private and public postal services and railroads operating alongside each other.

The best case scenario is that there is enough market will to allow a lab to monopolize the market, leaving you with the same problems as today but with even less standing in the way of fraud, like companies just paying for good reviews. The realistic case is that no such testing would happen, just like it was before the FDA.
your premise that contemporary family sizes are approximating those pre-antibiotics is easily falsifiable.
That was a horrible hack that was understood at the time to be unworkable. Much ink was spilled in The Stranger about it.
Or country. I know in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Asia that it's commonplace, and to be honest, there is a very low chance of genetic abnormalities unless it's done continuously over generations.
Does this matter to them though? Does apple care about having the dominant messaging platform if it's no longer a hook to get people to buy apple devices.
CV / Resume Template for 2024
I'm sharing a CV/Resume template for those of you who will be searching for jobs in 2024. I originally created it for friends and over time, six people have applied with it and started working. So, I thought it might be best to share it so that more people can use it.
In the culture I'm from (indian), it's not at all abnormal to call dads and moms friends uncle and auntie. It took me forever to realize our godparents weren't related to us even though we called them uncle and aunty.

So your last statements only true if you restrict the 'we' you're talking about.
They're not talking about free as in no monetary cost, they're talking about free as in freedom. Google has enough market share that they can just make their own standards and everyone else just follows. I have repeatedly come across sites that don't even test on Firefox because Chrome is just the default now.

If you don't want to be cornered into a single option that invades your privacy, now is the time to pay attention.
It’s probably the most powerful Amiga emulator (including peripherals) on the market.
It’s the same bad math that says it costs $250k to raise a kid so the family down the street with five kids must have access to $1.25 million.
You can zero route a few DNS entries at your router, and be fine, and then if you want, edit /etc/hosts. I've seen this work with Sonoma through multiple upgrades.
Immutable structures are beautiful when I’ve got an editor for geographic data and want a high performance undo/redo stack with basically no effort. It’s also considerably cheaper to identify when groups of polygons have changed by object identity rather than deep equality. Did this property change? Did properties in general change? Did this polygon change? Did this collection of polygons change? All using === equality checks without any manual plumbing. About ten years into doing it this way and I’ve got one regret: starting with ImmutableJS instead of Immer.
You are correct that this mitigates the security problems.

However, the method you're describing has fallen out of favor, in large part because mobile email apps often use a built-in browser that doesn't share cookies with the system browser. This creates several confusing UX problems. You also can't use a logged in device to log in a new device, unless you implement something like QR login which is also phishable.

Slack for example used to work the way you describe but now uses emailed codes for 1FA login.
Remember shrinkwrap EULAs? You agree to a EULA you can't read beforehand by opening the box or shrinkwrap.

Now, there are perpetually-changing EULAs you don't get to agree to that just change underneath you, and are rarely notified about.
> But stay at home parent isn’t a thing nowadays

If you look at the numbers, around 1/3 of families have one stay at home parent.

If you just look at families with kids too young to stay at home by themselves after school, it’s even higher.

The number of stay at home parents of both genders has been growing since the late 90s.
Co-Gen already exists.
To be fair, in much of the world, American and European cars (Peugeot, Renault, BMW, Audi, modern Mercedes Benz, VW, Volvo etc) don't have a great reputation either.
Based on the rubbish ads I get on YouTube on my phone I don’t think google are in any place to know what my interest even are.

5 years ago I used to get adverts for things like films which I would often watch the whole way through. Today I get adverts for phones and Chromebook. It’s like google are unable to sell adverts that actually target me and instead just throw their own rubbish I have no interest in, and even if I did they are not using the right features (I think they said that a Chromebook can run something by adobe? A company I haven’t run any tools from for about 20 years).

I guess they don’t have much data on me as I don’t do google other than YT and sometimes maps on the desktop, but the adverts aren’t even based on the types of youtube videos I watch, they feel like very generic adverts for products I don’t want.
The levels of satire are just gratuitous
I was originally addressing a comment that claimed it "often takes less time and way less mental energy than a phone call". I'm not pushing an "objectively correct solution" here, rather the opposite.

For me, as someone with ADHD, the time it takes to do something means absolutely nothing compared to the amount of mental energy it takes to even try. It's different for everyone.
> Can anyone describe a compelling use case for "deep cloning" objects in JavaScript

Sure. A library accepts an object as function argument (for example ‘params’) and then uses it inside. Modifying users object in-place would be a bad idea.
He's done a lot more than leak a video, perhaps you have a better idea on how he can receive treatment?
I wonder if your doctor could get a compounding pharmacy to make it for you? That is an option sometimes.
Much respect to an innovator, but Goddard also didn't understand gravity.
> If there were any market incentive whatsoever for that, it would already exist.

Consumer Reports already exists. https://www.consumerlab.com/ exists.

And the FDA is part of why there is no market for it. Note, for instance, tat the above-mentioned site reviews supplements, which don't have as many restrictions (and which do very much need these kinds of reviews).

> like companies just paying for good reviews

That would conflict with "respected review company", and leave an opportunity for a company that doesn't accept any kind of payment.
Lmao no they didn't, they bet the farm on cuda for scientific work, which goes hand in hand with consumer graphics market (essentially the same hardware).

They've just pivoted to AI semi recently (considering their long history) using the same hardware as always, for graphics/scientific/AI workloads. Sure they tweak vram amount/bandwidth/support additional precisions but it's all really same old same old. Just with more transistors every 2 years.
Also friendship is way too atomized. My parents had friends we called aunt and uncle and the entire family was friends. It's not a relationship between individuals, but between families, like marriage.
I noticed the very moderate goals set by this builder. 1/2 the time to build the house is great, yes! But 80% of the cost seems... good enough for this year? when it's all they can foresee. As mentioned elsewhere this is in spite of progress in materials and skills needed to install them - and these savings benefit both built-on-site and factory-built. I can see how cutting down on the number of alternate codes would cut down on the cost of engineering in these houses. And perhaps help realize economies of scale.

Something not mentioned in this article is that a development with 30-200 units should help on economies of scale but at the same time I can see how it doesn't: Such developments around here always include a lot of differences from unit to unit - perhaps necessary to get the project approved or reach an optimal profit on the finished houses.
> Apple makes commitments about encryption and security

Those commitments are only as strong as the recipient's control of their Apple ID credentials. It should be up to them whether they want to entrust a third-party (whether Beeper, or someone with an actual Apple device) with their messages.
iirc newer, bigger turbines are rated for higher windspeeds and dont have this problem.
Isn't that desired? You want to see what the object looks at at the time of logging. If you need to see it after some additional code has run, you log it again.
1. The other people are causing the dangerous situation, not you. That is not justification for you to do so too.

2. Most of the time it is a false perception. You only notice the people whizzing past you, not the people driving the speed limit along with you because they never pass you (a variant of survivorship bias). This of course depends on where you are, but most people in fact do drive around the speed limit.
Sorry, I'm claiming they would lose their primary source of funding in the sense that the next time the contract came up for bid no one would want it.
React needs a new object for its hooks when you change them. We need to modify those objects, so deepClone + direct mutation on the clone bypasses a lot of annoying immutable object creation bs. ppl just destructure the whole thing anyways, which is actually also pretty slow
I struggle to comprehend non-home-ownership as anything but throwing my money away.

I've been spending under $1500/year on rent for life (not a lot imo), being kind of picky & lucky about living with roommates at many points. I realize I'm going to have to spend well over 2x as much for a house, monthly, after a huge down-payment (hoping to avoid HIP but we'll see).

But even if it isn't an investment, it's not throwing rent money away. I realize there's a couple thousand a year in property tax, money needed for maintenance. But man, it just feels wild seeing money disappear as it does to rent.
> With "sideloading" of HTML there is no way in general to make sure that the contents of LaTeX (and PDF) on one side and HTML on the other side is the same.

Is it not possible to write LaTeX code that produces different contents in HTML vs. PDF?
With these giant infrastructure projects the question really isn’t the cost, it’s the payback. I’m sure Heathrow will get their $20b in value back relative quickly.
> Did you grow up seeing your cousins often?

I did not! Only occasionally as a young child and a handful of times as an adult. That is probably key.
Nonsense. They're making that decision, without consent or notification, for everyone else in that conversation.

> If that's the case, you will have an overhead anyway, the only question being whether it's at the DB level or at the application level.

Inserts and updates do not require referential integrity checking if you know that the reference in question is valid in advance. Common cases are references to rows you create in the same transaction or rows you know will not be deleted.

If you actually want to delete something that may be referred to elsewhere then checking is appropriate of course, and in many applications such checking is necessary in advance so you have some idea whether something can be deleted (and if not why not). That type of check may not be race free of course, hence "some idea".
Almost every so-called bloated editor has a vim plugin (I guess that's an upside of their bloat): vscode, intellij and friends, even vimium for the browser. And although I wouldn't argue that vim (or, to be precise a subset of vim functionality in editor plugins) makes me more productive I would argue that vimium does.
These already exist, combined heat and power (CHP). You can buy packaged units that come pre-assembled on a skid. These typically generate steam which either heats directly using radiators/heat exchangers or spins a steam turbine chiller for cooling.

That being said, I’d much rather leave electricity generation to a utility, maintaining generators is expensive and you’re screwed if your primary generator goes down without utility backup power or a secondary backup generator.
Knowledge is cheap – Skills are all you need
That looks like "Silicon Valley" without the humor (tho I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and wtf Quentin Tarantino?). But yes, sometimes it works, and every time it does it gets flogged as an aspirational shining beacon by a new generation of ethics-averse, ends-always-justifies-means, Mises Institute wristband wearing startup founders.
I taught myself probably 5 languages making an ASCII version of Space Invaders way back in the day.
A train car carries about a kiloton of cargo. How many zeppelins would that take?

People age and mature differently.

How many people have made mistakes and learned/grew from them.

He's a child give him time.
There are many ways to encourage this. I think grandparents who can show they are providing material care to grandchildren should receive heavy tax relief, and maybe even subsidies (like a grandchild tax credit). Or, allow tax free sales of properties for grandparents to downsize go a place closer to children
I think it was over a million just in the US just based on reported cause on death certificates.

This is a compilation of other people's work, but not a business. No one is going to pay for it. Because honesty is more useful and kinder than false praise, sorry and good luck.
Let’s go to the extreme and think 10 km wide ball of sand.

Normally when a single bit of sand hits the atmosphere it dissipates energy in every direction. So you a tiny fast moving glowing dot radiating energy in every direction. However you can’t dissipate energy when you’re right next to another particle at the same temperature. Thus energy from each bit of sad can basically only go in 2 directions down or up and you’re not transferring energy through the entire thing before a crust of plasma followed by ~10km wide ball of sand hits the surface.

Hell it could be a ball of water that size and the same basic effect kicks in.

Spread a 10km wide ball of material into a 1,000 km wide diffuse cloud and you are basically slapping the earth with 1,000 km wide disk with an average width of ~17 cm (maximum width ~1m) going 10’s of thousands of km/h. Again things don’t go well, you may be shifting how many minutes various people survive but it’s not actually addressing the issue.
Push notification bankruptcy. I don't think a lot of people make checking every single app they have installed for the number a habit. I guess I could have policed them on where they put the app so it would be on page 1 or whatever it's called. But that Messages app? It's always going to be noticed since it's in the dock on every page.
I'm going to guess you didn't read your own sources

> The raw death count gives us a sense of scale: for example, the US suffered roughly 470,000 excess deaths in 2020, compared to 352,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths during that year.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

Total Deaths
1,159,864

That roughly tracks.
S6?
#3 exists - drug trials occur in hospitals (research hospitals?). My only knowledge is late stage cancer where death is all but a certainty, so they can test new cancer drugs with doctor/patient/etc/drug company consent and oversight. Your ability to enter a trial is largely out of your hands though - if your case fits the conditions for a test you can ask around or your doctor may offer, but plenty of factors can rule you out.
Except for the communication and the lack of responsible disclosure. Publishing the exploit without contacting first the security teams of tools as big as postfix... Is quite bad.
Firefox has been funded by selling the default search engine for decades, including when it had 30% market share.
Hate to be rude, but I doubt that anything with a compressor can be silent. All heat pumps have compressors, right?

I've been around dozens of air conditioners, every one quite noisy compared to a resistive heater. Are heat pumps quieter than air conditioners?
Unfortunately Dr. Rosling died pre-COVID-19.
Sir, I worked thru your dog & cat adoption example. I had a few questions. So you have x & y vectors, and want the vector z, as below:

x<- c(1,2,3)
y <- c(4,5,6)
z<- c(1+4, (1*2+4*5)/(1+4), sqrt((1*(4+9) + 4*(25+36))/(1+4) - ((1*2+4*5)/(1+4))^2))

But your z[2] is just an elaborate weighted mean, I would use the following built-in function -

weighted.mean(c(2,5),c(1/(1+4),4/(1+4)))

Similarly, your z[3] is just the weighted standard deviation, available in library modi. I was wondering, isn't it better to store the data in some vector x & the weights in a different vector y, and compute the weighted mean & weighted variance in a straightforward fashion like above, or am I missing something. Thanks.
Also, switch to something non-Chromium if at all possible.

Which brings us in the paradoxical situation that if you want there to be any choice left at all in browsers then you're pretty much forced to choose firefox.
Because it’s not suitable for machine-processing of employee data. This belongs in a database, Active Directory, or HR software. Do you also do payroll with wiki pages?
Point 3 always makes me unreasonably (or perhaps reasonably) angry.
The problem is that if you log one object multiple times, they all point to the same object.

So if between two logs it was modified, it reflects the new status on the log before as well.

I think you may have been confused and got how it is, vs how it ought to be the wrong way round.
In a way Itanium arguably did pay off, by killing off a lot of RISC competition.
I’m far more worried about attestation features that will force you to use the browser sites want you to use than I am about any browser-specific targeting “feature.”
The Waymo blog post goes so far as to talk about human under-reporting of crashes, so it's only fair that Waymo call out their under-reporting of fatalities. It's suspect to claim the AI is better than the human when a notable fatality happened with a human behind the wheel of the exact same vehicle. Waymos have also hit people / bikers but magically the safety driver was always at fault.
Just to set the expectations: the size of the asteroids they considered was around 100 to 200 meters. The nuke they envisioned was a 1 megaton one, which is basically the yield of the largest active nuke in the US inventory (B83 = 1.2 megatons).

For comparison the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was 10 to 15 kilometers wide. Since volume goes with the cube of the diameter, it follows that that asteroid was about one million times larger than the asteroids being studied here. The largest nuke ever tested was 50 MT, and the Soviets intentionally dialed it down from its designed 100 MT yield. Even that one would have been just a pinprick for the dinosaur-killer asteroid.

"On 20 July 2023, the Korean Metal Workers' Union (KMWU) took another strong stand against trade union repression in Korea, calling for an end to the heavy-handed tactics employed by the government."

The idea that workers in unions in Asia suddenly have robust worker protections is false.
This is a view shared by literally zero people. It is so lacking in basic reasoning and logic that it's almost frightening to see it on a normally more rational site like Hacker News.

Let's change the wording around a bit. What makes hacking a "game company" exempt from normal ethics into breaking and entering?

What if the "game company" consists of only a single employee who uses their personal laptop? Totally fine to break into their computer and steal their data right?

Why stop at "game companies"? How about all companies? How about you? Why just computers? Remember that one time when you accidentally left your apartment window open, and then a "hacker" waltzed in and took pictures of all your personnel effects?
> wasmer run wasmer/ffmpeg -- -i - -f wav - > audio.wav

rather off-topic, but i've noticed quite a few "modern" cli apps do the "--" thing and make it mandatory; am i alone in finding it weird that flag parsing does not automatically stop after the positional argument for a program that expects to accept a command line?

e.g. it's

sudo -E env -v

not

sudo -E -- env -v

or

sudo -E env -- -v

(sudo stops parsing its own flags after 'env', the positional argument).
It shows you something about the priorities of the system that the company got a similarly-named substitute to sell (that's what they need out of medicine), but we didn't get a substitute for what we needed out of the medicine.
I know what they're saying. I'm asking what the internet is going to look like when there's no advertising, and I'm pointing out what advertising currently allows for.

There are too many low-effort ad supported sites currently. I don’t think we should make ads illegal, but it would be preferable if all ad-supported sites would identify themselves as such and then link aggregators, search engines, or even web browsers could have an easy “don’t show links to ad supported sites” button.

It really seems like a win-win.
