Curious who these people are that stay awake at night worrying about immigration. I think about it all the time but lament that immigration isn’t higher. The US needs to reform immigration policy and let more people in IMHO.
What percent of people do you think form parasocial bonds with social media personalities? Its probably less than 1% of the population (albeit not neccesarily the rich 1%)
People should have been told to go to their cars to stay warm.

I just edited my OP.
No idea why this is downvoted as it’s 100% true. Grocery prices have gone bonkers to the point I’ve asked my wife to really look at prices on certain things after coming home with a $10 loaf of bread.

Even Costco - I’d fill a cart for $350-$400 and now it’s $600-$650. Things feel like they’ve stabilized but costs are extremely high. Something broke.
He is basically the same age as his likely opponent and unlike him can string together a coherent sentence so I’m not sure that will be a big deal in the end.
Ahhh... a popular topic in my household; lots of digestive issues here.

Collectively these chemicals (the ones that cause digestive issues like the author's) are known as FODMAPs, and cause issues for a lot of people. Monash University is the authority here, having identified them in the first place and produced a ton of dietary information about them: https://www.monashfodmap.com/about-fodmap-and-ibs/

The author says she doesn't have any trouble with lactose, fructose, and gluten, but cutting out sugar alcohols (polyols, the "P" in FODMAP) helped a ton. This is pretty common; people with FODMAP intolerance can typically digest some but not all of them.

The process is basically (1) go on a very restrictive elimination diet that cuts out all FODMAPs, then (2) gradually test each one at different quantities to find out if you can handle it and at what quantity.
Would there be advantages to a tensile biocomposite with
Starlite and/or Firepaste e.g. as a coating or blended?

Can Starlite be used as heat shielding for [biocomposite] civilian rockets, and how would the reentry emissions differ?

Thanks for leaving the comment, because it was my first thought too.

What's peculiar is its accuracy doesn't appear to be much better than a visual only app (based on a quick google of iphone app accuracy levels).

Could be similar to the 'should self driving cars be visual only' debate - it might seem intuitive that more data sources should improve results, but in practice it's not necessarily the case.
I do think the economy is doing fairly well, but the question is more one of sustainability in my opinion. We're seeing dwindling personal savings levels [1] and the housing market is the least affordable it's been probably on record.

The argument I've seen is that people are spending down their savings, which is of course translating into healthy economic data - but once those savings are gone, things may not look so good.

Personally, I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem cut and dried.

[edit] Note that inflation numbers are improving but still well above target and in past instances, this last bit has been hard to shake. Higher for longer and no real new supply of housing means that's not going to change any time soon.

I don’t know what the hell you are buying but my and my partner eat well and never get anywhere near that number.
I know you're being somewhat flippant with this question, buy I'll bite.

So you -did- use your insurance this (and every) month. You didn't-claim- from insurance, but that's incidental.

Insurance exists to give you peace of mind (or more technically act as a hedge against your risk). You got that benefit/peace/hedge so you used your insurance.

Now, if we take this thought, you could argue that Netflix isn't there to provide "show x" which you may, or may not, watch. Rather its there yo provide you with the -option- to watch show x. Whether you watch it or not is up to you.

I feel this comparison is not equivalent though because risk is very real, while selling a "Netflix option" seems very contrived.
I have 2 kids under 4 so we still need diapers and wipes and our grocery costs feel insane... we regularly spend $1200 to $1600 or more per month in California.

Thank you, couldn't have said it better.

It's puzzling that we set such a low bar for the top leader for one of the top universities in the world. This person should be the Navy Seal's Navy Seal of leaders and academics, not a "please just leave this poor beleaguered Black woman alone" type. She should be running laps around your average politician, not imploding under the most basic of questions.
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Not bitcoin directly, but WBTC (the tokenized version of BTC on Ethereum and other chains), can be used in DeFi to borrow any other token, against it.

It is a fantastic use case because now you can borrow up to your collateralized limit, without talking to anyone. Thus enabling you to make pet rocks work for you.

DeFi really is a great usecase. It is of course, early days, meaning that it can be high risk, but it can also be high reward.

Lastly, this is one of my favorite comments here on the subject of usecases: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26238410
Weird, by Freddie Deboer
People are pretty ignorant of costs. One of my coworkers bitches about this, but uses instacart for alot of shopping and buys dopey shit like pre-cut carrots.

The pandemic taught retailers that they can increase margins and people are too lazy to shop. I bought a container of strawberries for about half the cost of the local supermarket chain at Aldi. Beef is about 30% less at warehouse clubs.

Those price differences are just margin, and people tag on more with delivery services, and blame the economy for their own stupidity.
I basically only ever sign up for subscriptions that I can cancel from either App Store or through the national system where subscriptions are listed and cancelable in my bank statement these days.

My idea of doing this would be to force banks, MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, Stripe et cetera to have easy-to-list-easy-to-cancel subscriptions. Just two buttons, one to turn the subscription into an invoice you manually have to pay to keep going and one that cancels it outright through the payment provider.

That should hurt businesses more the more consumer hostile they are.

Louis Rossman over at YouTube has been going over this fuses thing from Amazon. All the fuses he tried from top-results didn't blow until he put 4x or 5x the current rating through them.
Honestly, this is the main reason¹ I just haven't got into IoT much as I love the idea in theory. I don't want an adversarial relationship with the electronics I'm putting in the house, so I just don't.

I want my IoT to work off-line with no talking to the Internet unless I explicitly let it for some reason. I want it to interoperate with other things and not just some shitty app on my phone - I don't carry my phone with me around the house all the time and it's a PITA anyway.

I could go the DIY route and bust out the soldering iron and some ESPHome compatible chips, but that's not my passion and life is too bloody short. And even if I did I'd still have strong reservations doing DIY around the 240V AC mains power.

¹ That, and the first thing I'd automate is light switches², but the regulations around mains power wiring in Australia are pretty stringent and the only AES certified IoT light switches I've seen look like I would have and adversarial relationship with and can only be controlled by a shitty app.

² Automating light bulbs themselves is a sub-optimal solution in most circumstances, in my opinion. Perhaps if I wanted to control the colour, but not for on, off and brightness. If I did that it would just make me feel sad.

I think we need a “no true cheese” fallacy.

I love the underlying tone to this. The French are a civilized people who care about the age of their cheese.

While the country bumpkin Americans lack the sophistication and knowledge of cheese age.

I agree, numbers would be interesting.

My guess is that the effect in air is minimal, because the coating is so thin.

If the coating had impressive thermal properties (such a steep thermal gradient) , even at such tiny thickness, it would have other applications (where thermal insulation is desired.)
A while ago I read something along the lines of, clutter is a delayed decision. That's what most storage units are. People don't want to make a decision today, so they stick it in a storage unit and pay on it monthly so they can make the decision later... or the decision gets made for them.
I think it’s more a dissatisfaction over a not totally successful mission than a restrained satisfaction.

I almost clicked away not realizing there were actual mockups for phones / tablets / etc.. after uploading an image, seeing the results.. and scannign around the screen I thought oh this is super basic, gotta go.. and right before I clicked close tab, I noticed the almost invisible down arrow next to 'screenshot'..

and so I clicked and then, well now it's good.

So strongly suggest adding phone / tablet / computer / laptop /etc icons / graphics / words maybe.. I would even make the default very first screen when you upload your very first image.. also create one of each phone / laptop etc.. and display the results perhaps with a click for more of similar...
Why not pig or cow droppings? Those are way more industrially available?
Here's another then: I'm one person with no pets who has spent an average of $430 per month at the grocery store in 2023. And almost all of that is food, I get most non-food consumables from Amazon subscriptions.

In 2019 it was around $250 per month. Pretty much the same set of items.

A conformal coating is like putting a circuit board in a plastic bag. In this application they applied it around the connectors. If you remove the connectors, the seal is broken. If you break the seal and submerge the board in water you will have a short.

Usually in these types of applications, you use DEUTSCH connectors https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/brands/deutsch.html?tab=p... that have an o-ring to seal the connector and allow it to be exposed to the elements and provides a seal that also allows removing the connector.
I am really trying to avoid commenting on HN but your math makes little sense.

Even 10-15 years ago, $5/meal was more than reasonable to eat well. For a just a 2 adult household, that is $15/day and $450/mo. What I was paying eating cheap fastfood and making ~10/hr pre-2015 was twice that. Just last year, trying to live strictly off of delivery apps like doordash and ubereats as a single person I could barely crack 1200/mo.

1k/mo is 12000/yr. 2k/mo rent for a 3 bedroom is 24k/yr. Being able to pay groceries and rent on $36k/yr only for that isn't so bad.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to ruin anyone's plans to live a better life, but when someone says "the economy is great", that's relative to post-covid and two multi-decade wars the US fought and a global recession not even two decades old.

I almost want to beg and plead people to realize the amazingly prosperous times they live in. The great depression and grear famines were not so long ago. The dust bowl can still come back. Multiple wars at the same time at a global scale is still a very much impending realistic possibility. Another war in th middle east is brewing. A dictator wanna be is being nominated in the US for president. Appreciate what you have so you can fight to keep it!

Things can get much better but also much worse. We must be sober minded in fighting for a better future without forgetting what we have. There has never been a more prosperous time and place to be alive in the history of mankind than now in America, especially when you consider the marvels of medicine and technology available today.

Again, things could be much better on many fronts, but what good is that fight if what little you enjoy now is gone?

Things like being most prosperous and powerful country and the center of tech and medicine don't tend to come back once they are gone for a country if you look at history.

Maybe we need to celebrate thanksgiving more than once a year?

Inflation can stop but that won’t undo the damage. Unless we get deflation (very rare), it will never drop below 1k for you again.
That's a silly thing to get upset about. It was a draft proposal written by volunteers outside the Foundation.
These can be awesome fun to build and to play in. Just a safety note...

If you build snow&ice structures, keep in mind that some can be dangerous for young kids who later come across this very compelling structure.

Especially igloo/cave/house, or other structure that can otherwise collapse atop small ones.

Even if structurally sound when built, it can change rapidly over time, due to melting, snowfall, and play.

If you can't check it frequently, to make sure that it's not in a state that can collapse and result in tragedy in a matter of minutes, then you probably want to disassemble it (and spread it out).
Ask HN: How long has it taken for job markets to recover after stock markets do?
In previous tech boom/bust cycles how long has it taken between the two? Seems we must be getting close to the job market catching up.

Next thing that needs to happen I imagine is a major IPO of a tech startup, which will start the process of VC investing that leads to froth, which will generate demand for employees. Just not sure how long all that takes to trickle.
This is genuinely something I hadn't considered. A test tenant may have been in a more than ideal position to stage phishing attacks from. Hopefully this is the case, and not a more concerning lack of disclosure or shudder NSL situation.
I can fill a cart pretty full up with a mix of staples, frozen food and some snacks for ~$250-300 at costco, I'm guessing you're getting lobster tails, expensive wine and other pricey items.
It doesn’t matter why the price went up if it’s going up on average. Inflation is inflation no matter the source of the price.
In the UK and AU immigration is a major political issue - turning back the boats and a wide range of dog whistles do wonders for the conservative parties.

As pragmatic issues of policy it has been the case that spinning these up as political issues costs magnitudes more in real money (white elephant solutions pulling in expensive private contractors et al) and human suffering (drawn out processing, seperation of families, etc).

Always a big issue as elections draw closer.

Rarely as much of an actual issue as is made out to be on the stumps.

So prices went up and you didn’t change what you get? I guess people are much less price elastic than I am. We are well under $200 a month and I don’t feel like we do anything special to keep our costs down.

Ruling of Judge John Dorsey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court was overturned.
The court found that prospective investors would benefit from more clarity.
An independent examiner was ordered to be appointed by the court presiding over the bankruptcy of FTX crypto exchange by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, months after the initial filing.

Ruling of Judge John Dorsey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware was overturned by three judges of the Third Circuit on January 19. Thus, compelling the court to choose an examiner to monitor the FTX bankruptcy case. The appeals process began in February 2023. This was when Judge Dorsey dismissed Andrew Vara’s petition to appoint an examiner in FTX’s bankruptcy case.

My ex employer uses blockchain to puff out marketing material. I don't think they've delivered any product with it, at least didn't when I was there.

With an offshoot BPO wing, they've recently moved to claiming, via press releases, their entire HR function of 60 people has been reduced to just 2 and AI. Which I find hard to believe as I'm still in contact with 10+ of the HR doing the exact same jobs with the exact same broken spreadsheet workflow they always did.
That is a lot. What they actually said was 1 mg of hay dust per 1000 L. They didn't elaborate on how they sourced their hay.
It’s wild what Singaporeans spend on food. Many people don’t prepare meals regularly at home. Kitchens are small and super basic.

It’s pretty common to eat out for most meals. The plethora of options and low cost is obviously a big driver, but it’s getting hard to find meals for under $5 now.

So 150 meals a month times $5 is $750 for food. And that’s eating super cheap. The more hearty hawker meals are more like $6-8.

Of course not everyone eats every meal out and there are people that cook at home a lot (seems to be more common with Malay), but when this 25 year old colleague making $5,000 per month told me they spend $1,000 per month on meals I was surprised.

When I was in the Bay Area our family of 4 spent $600 per month on food (all prepared at home). That was shopping at Costco and Asians markets and not really counting dollars while doing it.

Kelsey and other pilots generally want to protect themselves, coworkers, and employers from liability, and they also have to, you know, fly planes, so recording videos is not something they will be doing while on-duty.

Why don’t you use a 13A circuit breaker in UK? That’s what we do in the rest of the EU, I think.
