Subscriptions are fine, I pay for several. But they don't fit every use case. There should be a way to pay for a single article. Some micropayment service(s) so you don't need an account with every web site you might want to read.

As a patient, in the past I've absolutely been directed to ice injuries for weeks. (Not so much in the last ~10 years, as the world caught up to the fact that this was a bad idea.) Sources like the Red Cross or WebMD article on RICE[0] _still_ recommend it for at least 48 hours after a minor injury, even though this has been debunked.

So I think it's good that the Wikipedia article emphasizes that the protocol is outdated.

I grew up listening to NPR, it was always on. Car talk with my dad on the weekends, Prarie home, etc. It's been programed in every car I've owned since I was a teenager. My wife and I have listened together and donated for years. But starting around 2019ish it gotten harder and harder to stay engaged with the programming.

Almost every piece of reporting is now some kind of soft-outrage human-interest pseudo news.
I want to listen but every other story is a tale of victim hood and oppression. It's just too much.
> brings complexity for network operators

> I just wish DNS would follow suit

Technically, this is super-easy. Just select an anycast IP that would always go user's ISP's DNS - just like any other anycast DNS front-end IPs (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, et al.) go to a nearest PoP of CF/google/etc.

Just to reiterate - there is no reason why an anycast IP has to be held by the same entity globally. "Federated" anycast IP, where each user reaches their local ISP would work just as well. Then make it an internet standard. Once that standard gets implemented in end-devices, there no longer any need to negotiate DNS server IP, same one works across different ISPs, always going to the nearest one. Still complex, but all the complexity is now on ISP side.

Practically, this is overwhelmingly unlikely to happen. There is a significant momentum among internet users to actively distrust their ISP, and mechanisms to cloak DNS traffic from user's ISP (DoH, DoT, ...) are somewhat popular, based on that exact motivation, in part.
Apologies, although in this case you are wrong. Human reaction time to disengage the engine in a 3-pedal car is split-second.

I considered making that joke, that the established common base was picked adversarially to have 521 and 512 be confusingly similar but couldn't find a non convoluted way of expressing that without implying primes change with base
They are trivially MITM-able. Not long ago there was news posted here that telecom employees are selling SIM swaps. There's your MITM vulnerability. People can pay to impersonate others by taking over their phone numbers and consequently their messenger accounts.

This attack will be noticeable: there will be a message warning the user that the cryptographic keys have changed on the other end. You know what else generates these warnings? Reinstalling WhatsApp, switching phones... They're basically noise to users by now due to alarm fatigue. How many users even know what that this key stuff means anyway? How many people even use the built-in key verification function which consists of just scanning a QR code? I've yet to meet a single person who cares about any of this stuff.
Theoretically that works for current landlords - what happens in a year or two when there are now no new rentals on the market because there are no new landlords because who would take that deal?

The ycombinator title is made misleading by swapping "gambling" for "blowing" money - these are not the same words at all. One implies they are just living in the moment, the other implies they are trying to get rich quick at high risk.
It's not economical to have a person walk up to every package with an XRF gun, but it feels like it ought to be possible to do this in bulk. Maybe use high intensity XRay to quickly capture an overview image / tomograph of each container and then follow up with lower intensity on areas of interest to tease out the spectrum. Is the best way to capture X-Ray spectra still to choke down intensity to the single-photon regime, watch the size of each scintillation event in the detector, and assemble a histogram? In any case, the best way can't be worse than the old way, and the old way is probably viable as a second automatic step in a two step process.

Come to think of it, airport luggage inspection happens at high throughput. Surely they could scale that up from suitcases to containers?

Of course, "physically possible" doesn't mean "politically possible given the budgets involved" which in turn doesn't mean "has actually happened." I'm mostly fishing here to see if anybody knows things about high-throughput X-Ray screening.

"However" isn't a conjunction. It should be "Not many academic philosophers discuss magic. However, five centuries ago..."

Using "however" the way the author did will trip up a reader expecting correct English -- once you have "Not many philosophers discuss magic, however" you expect the sentence to end, but it doesn't and you have to go back and reinterpret.

My understanding is that a bunch of cognitive psychology research related to risk-taking and motivation etc is funded by casinos and gambling-related businesses, which I vaguely remember as being an obligation created by some Nevada law? I wonder if it makes sense for some consumer-facing financial services companies to have a similar obligation.

> Authorities reportedly believe the smuggler went to the lengths he did in an effort to avoid Japan’s 10-percent import tariff.

To my understanding, when selling in Japan, the smugglers will need to either declare the capital gain tax, or sell it (at some) the black market heavily discounted.

When determining the capital gain tax, if no purchase receipt (=purchase price) can be provided, the purchase price is set at 10% of the current market value, leading to a big capital gain tax.

In any case it will be difficult for the smuggler to make up the savings of the 10% import tariff.

To my understanding, that 10% tariff is actually an added 10% consumption tax, which can be claimed back when transporting gold out of Japan.

I spend my "political advocacy" bucks on trying to convince older generations around me just how much they and their peers pulled the ladder up behind them.

And at the same time, I find conversations about money with younger generations to be very hostile (btw, I still consider myself young). Accusations, assumptions, and name-calling start circulating quickly if you dare to ask 'the youth of reddit' as it were, if they understand compound interest, how much money they spend on food delivery, vapes, weed, and booze.

And then there's this pervasive social media messaging that it doesn't matter. Well, if you doom-scroll and ... don't believe? in compound interest, then I guess that is a hard narrative to escape.
> The correct reaction is to identify people using this particular pattern and penalize them regardless of political or cultural affiliation.

Ohh no. The correct reaction is to do nothing if censorship is on the table. It is trivial to push BS by blaming fighting BS.

I believe the correct action is to pretend they are sane and calmly explain why I think they are wrong in combination with ignoring them.
> Ice has been used for injuries since at least the 1960s, in a case where a 12-year-old boy needed to have a limb reattached. The limb was preserved before surgery by using ice

Of course, for detached limbs, ice is really good to conserve them until they can be reattached. But that's not the majority of injuries fortunately. Also, compression is really good for wounds that are bleeding profusely. For soft tissue injuries, maybe not so much?
Not just a quick flip, the old-school days of working hard and being a loyal employee are long over. When the more steady routes of gaining wealth are increasingly out of reach, gambling becomes more enticing.
Uncle is a goldsmith. I once held a decently sized bar of gold (I'd say 30x10x2cm) in my hand and you're absolutely right, it really is weirdly heavy in a way you'd not expect.

I was about to mention this; it doesn’t appear to have proper statistical analysis, just kind of showing examples of some young men who gamble.

Anecdata, but me and all of my friends started to pretty aggressively save money at around age 25. It’s probably not coincidental that that’s also when we all started to get reasonably high paying jobs.
Most people competent with a gun can. The requirements for firearms practice (and especially draw-and-fire drills) for cops are pretty minimal across the board. Your average 3-gun or USPSA competitors (who admittedly train much more than a bench shooter probably does) likely spend 30x more hours per year training than a cop does.

Here's a per-state breakdown of police training requirements.
https://www.apexofficer.com/police-training-requirements

Most of them require 20 hours or less PER YEAR, and that is not just firearms training, but total training across e.g. deescalation, driving, EMT, less-than-lethal force, crowd control, etc. Several of them specify that the firearms training is only 2 hours. Most hobby shooters can knock out 12 hours of dedicated firearms training in a month or 2 of weekend range days, so 6x what a cop might have to do in 12 months.

Outdrawing the cops isn't the issue, outnumbering them is. Unless you've also got 300+ buddies you can call for support, you're going to lose in the end.

Indeed, I believe most end-user devices should use RFC 8981 (Temporary Address Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6) to avoid pervasive monitoring. However you must bear in mind that this does nothing to prevent web browser fingerprinting, so the effective loss of privacy if temporary addresses are not in use is arguably pretty minimal.
As a mid-twenties man, I see this constantly among my friends.

It started a few years ago when sports betting was legalized in my home state and when I was at a bar before Thanksgiving to see some friends, half of them were watching a basketball game involving teams they've never cared about. They showed me that they were betting some wild parlays to hit on this game they had no interest in watching otherwise. They showed me that the apps keep track of your net earnings (I assume this is a legal requirement) and _all_ of them were in the negative between $400 and $800. Keep in mind that these are young men who just graduated college and we were all pretty broke.

Flash forward, a lot of them still sports bet regularly with regular losses. I live in a different state now, but a group of my friends around here recently go into going to a casino near by. I was blown away by the justifications on their gambling habits. "I usually win" or "I only gamble what I come in with", but the latter isn't true and I've seen it with my own eyes. I met up with them (not to gamble, but to see a friend), and thirty minutes in one of them was asking the other for $40 so he could "win it all back" at the roulette table.

It blows my mind. We know so well that gambling is a losing battle. Some can have fun and call it the price of fun, but it's such a slippery slope to find yourself losing way more than you intended.

Anecdotally, I notice that the women in my life gamble less.

Doom does some weird stuff with FOV and how it renders the environment though; newer FPS games have "real" 3D graphics, Doom used some interesting tricks to make things look 3D. The Quake engine was iirc the first "real" 3D engine.
This is the demographic most likely to explore and take risks and this is the modern venue for that. Once it was hunting mammoths or gold rushes.

So while the crypto market is like never before the jeopardy isn't.
Exactly. The only reason not to use goto here is because of a dogmatic opposition to ever using goto. In fact, this is a rare case where goto makes the flow of the program more clear rather than less clear, and alternate solutions are just worse.

For me it’s entirely context based. If it’s a flying game, I can only play it if Y is inverted. For an FPS, I can only play without inverted Y.

There’s no real difference between except the context. I just got used to playing FOS games one way, and flight sims the other, and now my brain is wired that way.

Even in games where you can frequently switch between FPS and flying, I can only do both if there’s a separate Y invert setting for each context.
Wow, these examples are amazing!

The law you linked to doesn't make any distinction between tech products and other products, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at at this point. It's clear that there is no 4-6 year warranty. There are other protections which are lesser and quite open to interpretation. It's definitely good to let people know about these protections and they are indeed useful, but they are not a warranty. The period of 'coverage' has nothing to do with the 4-6 year period mentioned in 105 (which is the limitation period for breach of contract), but rather the subjective interpretation of how long a 'reasonable person' would expect a given product to keep working without fault.
The suspension proves his point. NPR could've taken this in such a different direction. Not punishing the journalist, and instead providing evidence for their fair and accurate reporting standards in a transparent way. Instead, they got angry and went right for the suspension "without pay" for a pathetic reason.

I used to love NPR growing up.

The same way you would without a clock I guess?

You could match what you can distributed equally and leave the rest unsettled.

You could let people decide whether to roll-over the partial bid into a new bid on the next clock or to cancel unsettled.

You could clock to something both very fast on a human scale (50ms), quick enough it'd still feel instant but slow enough that it could reduce HFT silliness and need for extreme low latencies.

> The uncontrolled disposal of the pallet, however, was not part of the original plan. It was made necessary by a disrupted spacewalking schedule following the failed launch of a Soyuz rocket in 2018, which forced NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin to make an emergency landing in the Kazakh steppe. This event led to a backlog in the disposal of such equipment. Normally, old batteries would be placed inside an HTV (H-II Transfer Vehicle) and jettisoned from the ISS to burn up on re-entry.

> However, in late 2018, an HTV departed without this battery pallet due to the rescheduled spacewalks. As the battery replacement mission continued, and with no more HTVs of the old design expected to arrive (they are being replaced by the HTV-X cargo spacecraft), the decision was made to jettison the pallet independently.

I have a personal theory about human intuition.

It feels like answers come "from outer space" or "from God" but it's really just a highly optimized and efficient part of the brain for a very specific function. For that narrow function your brain has an effective IQ of something like 2000. As our brains have a much lower average IQ, we don't have the context to understand how we found the answer so we experience it and describe it as intuition.

If our entire brain operated at an IQ of 2000, we wouldn't experience it as intuition or a flash of genius, we would just say "I figured it out".
