The statement "my options on who will hire me are kind of limited" is a bit misleading. Limited compared to whom? Your options are abundant compared to most people.

It sounds like you are waiting on a fantasy position that has both interesting work and pays at least the same as your current position, which you have 13 years of experience in. That's not usually how life works. There are trade-offs.

If you want to do a different type of work that you don't have any professional experience in, you are going to have to take a pay cut. As you mentioned, you're fortunate to be making 3x what you need. It's up to you whether it's worth "only" making 2x what you need in order to do work you find more engaging.

This is not a unique circumstance. People make this trade-off all the time. Maybe talk to some people who did.
> Carmakers from China, an emerging automaking behemoth, face a 25 percent tariff enacted by Donald Trump. As a result, Americans cannot buy small Chinese EV sedans like the BYD Seagull that cost around $10,000, barely a fifth the price of an average American car.

Uhhh? So pay the tariff and get a $12,500 electric car? Still sounds like a pretty good deal plus the government gets some revenue. Where is the problem? Where is this “cannot” coming from?
> I've heard from random podcasts (do your own research) you need to make sure you exercise, and perhaps eat high protein, while on drugs like this, otherwise you lose a ton of muscle mass. Could be deadly for seniors, where falls are a leading cause of death.

This isn't true in the sense that it's because of GLP1 RAs in particular -- it's just that GLP1 RAs are effective at rapid weight loss, and that's what happens when you undergo rapid weight loss REGARDLESS of method.

It's a trade-off -- do you want to manage muscle loss and bone density issues (with an easily modifiable dosage/etc) or manage type 2 diabetes or heart disease for the same patient?
If enough people wanted the same cars as the Vox author wants, they’d be made.
I now see I am in the presence of a true genius, and that my Marx is not scientific as I once thought, but simply an evil beast fueled by his hatred of the human race and that he must be stopped. Thank you for enlightening me to the evils of Marx and the evil Left.
I'm not in a position to tell anyone what to value in life, but I don't personally feel that insecure about my access to healthcare or workplace conditions, and I also feel that a lot of Americans have an unrealistic idea of what life in other countries is like or how their political situation is. For instance, does Norway take climate change more seriously than the US? In some sense they may, but on the other hand they're the world's third-largest exporter of natural gas in the world, after Russia and Qatar. Europe has its own spate of nationalistic far-right politicians, anti-immigrant politics, austerity, and other social ills we don't much think about when using them as a counterpoint to ourselves. We're all participants in a global system, after all.
I mean sort of, maybe. It's a danish company, that's already the largest contributor to research, also from a grant perspective. The Novo Nordisk Foundation is supplying research grants at like 5 times of the size of the danish government. And that's without taking into account the grants and research done by Novo Nordisk, the company itself.

That's true but only in perfect conditions.

Both Ozempic and Wegovy are manufactured by Novo Nordisk. That’s not competition. It is market segmentation as they are marketed for different uses.
Yeah, I mean it seems to me you just searched for some random picture and made literally no commentary about it. It looks completely fine.

I always find it weird when people have this „everyone hates it“ attitude with no real commentary whatsoever.
This is the reason my wife insisted that we get an SUV: Concern that if she were to be in a crash with another SUV/truck, they'd obliterate her in a small car.
I don't think this is totally accurate.

If you have significantly better quantum computers, you can solve realistic problems, yes.

But what's not being spelled out here is that as far as we know classical computers will still totally smoke them unless you allow a large probability of inaccurate results.

And if you are fine with inaccurate results, classical randomized algorithms make it a much more difficult deadline to beat.
You build a package and publish it to a private registry, so builds can reference specific versions of dependencies from other repos.
We could also clamp down on addictive shit like Doritos and Oreos like we did with tobacco. Unbelievable that people will need to take a drug to escape the treachery of junk food companies everywhere you turn.
One might argue that a citizen shouldn't need to prove they didn't break a law, but rather the government has to (reliably) prove that they did.

I wonder if there's a phrase for that.
Well quality of the compounder/pharmacy is the real issue here -- of course it's not that the process itself is flawed, more that it's basically impossible for a layman consumer to inspect/assess quality/safety.

repairing increases its lifetime and prevents things from being dumped into landfills. some of the highest selling products are screen protectors, and cell phone cases. Clearly the consumers don’t believe your argument about durability.

They were price gouging even before unified memory so your argument doesn’t really hold water. I am sorry.
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, so it can slow down vital functions leading to loss of consciousness and respiratory depression.

Nicotine is highly addictive and can lead to immediate withdrawal symptoms if usage is abruptly stopped. Short-term side effects include nausea, dizziness, and headaches. Smoking tobacco can also cause respiratory irritation. Long-term use can lead to serious health issues, including various forms of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Sugar can contribute to metabolic issues such as insulin resistance, which has immediate effects on metabolism and can lead to long-term health problems like type 2 diabetes.

All three substances—tobacco, sugar, and alcohol—have well-documented immediate effects on the body that can range from desirable (e.g., feeling relaxed or euphoric) to harmful (e.g., intoxication, poisoning, or overdose).

But let's focus on sugar for a minute. Research suggests that sugar intake alters composition and function of gut bacteria, which can have a whole host of knock-on effects. Fructose, additionally, drives inflammatory responses throughout the body which stresses all your organ systems. Chronic inflammation promotes heart disease, diabetes, arthritis... you name it. Sugar has links to changes in brain function, increasing risk of depression (this might be due to inflammation[0]) and may contribute to a greater likelihood of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Sugar also raises triglyceride levels, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol profiles. Dietary sugars lead to higher de novo lipogenesis (DNL), increasing risk of cardiovascular disease. An increase in DNL can lead to an overproduction of triglyceride-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, which are eventually converted into LDL particles in a process known as "adipose tissue remodeling". The phrase "adipose tissue" should strike fear into your heart, as this is the unsexy "fat" tissue that can lead to stigma and discrimination, negative judgments from others, joint stress, musculoskeletal disorders, and increased risk of injury.

So there's a mountain of evidence that you're wrong about Tobacco, sugar and alcohol.
It’s quite simple, but still executed so well, particularly the iPod and the Nokia phone. Brought me joy and nostalgia and unexpectedly a feeling of belonging and cohesion.
What the exact error rate is isn't relevant to OP's concern, which is that operators of the tooling will treat it as having a 0% error rate in a way that they don't with human judgment. We've already seen this play out with algorithms designed to predict recidivism or what have you—law enforcement and judicial officials place undue weight on the outputs of algorithms and trust them implicitly where they might ask questions of a human expert.
I'm normally on board with variations of this argument for things that don't significantly affect other people, but cars very much affect other people. Larger cars are more likely to kill other drivers, and especially bikers and pedestrians. The damage they do to the road is also a LOT more [1] so people who drive smaller vehicles and/or walk/bike are effectively subsidizing people who drive larger vehicles. They also cause more emissions meaning more medical issues and accelerated climate change.

> Do you see the US government wanting to disrupt these industries, many of which are political donors?

When the one being disrupted is a European pharma? Yes.
What I'm trying to say is that the supply is constrained, not the demand. And the supply of factories themselves are constrained as well. So they need to build more factories, which they are doing at an impressive pace. And for building factories it's similarly not the land or the money or the red tape that's the issue. It's the time to build a factory that's the limiting factor.
No, the money for the dividend comes from Google's profits. Google is a very profitable company.
hi! this is my substack post and new policy org. thanks to whoever posted this. hope you will subscribe!

we are looking for folks with MDs and PhDs or other experience in the field or in EA type writing to join the project. the thesis is that the addiction crisis is solvable if we put sufficient resources into new medication development, including GLP-1 for addiction and powerful non opiate painkillers like the Vertex drug that will be approved early next year.

addiction is the number 1 cause of DALYs in the united states if you include opiates, stimulants, alcohol, and cigarettes.

the right policies can get new treatments to people rapidly without massive public costs and without disrupting incentives. but we're currently on track for at least another decade of massive damage if we don't change things. join the effort!
There are shady online compounding pharmacies based in other countries and you don’t know what you’re getting, as with any prescription drug. I’m guessing that was he meant.

But from a reputable one regulated by an industrialized nation, it would not be fitting to call them dangerous.

Local parking laws are a great tool.

Limit the amount of parking required, sizes, etc. invest in transit and bike infrastructure.

Just make cars/drivers pay for the real costs on urban society for car storage.
Poor excuse. Similar challenges and diversity exist in many countries. Also, only a fraction of the population have that use case, that doesn't account for 80% of the market.

Mountains and dirt fireroads/doubletracks exist in every countries. You know which car was the most popular for years until the end of its production in Spain by farmers and people living at the very end of dirt roads in spanish mountains? The citroen C15! I let you google for an image. It was so light that even with only front wheel drive it was much more capable off the road than most SUV.
All the money investors have gotten from Google has been in capital gains (i.e. buying low, selling high). There's nothing illegal or nefarious about that. In fact, it's extremely common, most stock investors gains will be from the underlying equity increasing in value. Dividends are just distributions that the company pays from it's available cash.
>My point is that it could use 2l/100km if that would be the optimization target.

No it cannot. There are more things involved than just air drag when it comes to fuel consumption in a car.

>Golf 8 is nowadays a few classes above what the Golf 1 was. It's also a rather big car compared to the Golf 1.

Exactly. It's way heavier and uses less than half of what the Golf I used back in the day. This to me demonstrates that you don't understand the basics behind all this. Maybe you should read up on stuff.

I am not familiar with pharma patents. Are you saying, for example, a 300ml dose could have a patent with different expiry than a 400ml dose?

I could see patenting mechanism of delivery, like injections versus oral, but not the example above.
No, it’s saying there is a limited part of the drug market where curing may not be as profitable as maintenance. So they’re trying to find alternate ways of financing that development. For most of pharma, curing is a payday.

> What do the occupants do?

I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens, at the bottom shafts of some of our deepest mines.

It would not be difficult. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plant life. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the suitable minesites in the country, but I shouldn't be surprised if several hundred thousand of our people could be accommodated. Every nation would undoubtedly follow suit.
Quoting the official claims from the article, "Only when the system observes a vehicle parked illegally in a bus lane or a bus stop does it record the license plate and capture video of the event." - it seems very reasonable from both practical and privacy standpoint that all that data should not be collected unless there's some reason to believe (e.g. by such an "AI" system) that there likely is an actual violation.
You get the same effect when you go zero carbs
> Also they do not let you edit the TTL of records

That's going to make migrating name-servers painful. What a nightmare.

Edit: Just confirmed on my domains that moved. You cannot update the TTL of any record.

Can anyone suggest a strategy for safely migrating DNS providers without changing the current TTL settings since they can't be updated?
The 1966 Ford Thunderbird was not a narrow car, at 1963 mm (210 mm wider than my Civic). But it's still narrow compared with the 2123 mm wide F-150 Raptor parked on my street, which sticks out so far into the road that makes it almost impossible for Amazon delivery trucks to navigate.

Of course it does that while also being extremely tall, making it impossible for many pedestrians to look past its hood to spot oncoming traffic on the road, or for passing drivers to spot people stepping out behind it.

> Isn't the worry that Ozempic is only "effective and save" as far as all the other weight loss drugs being utter predatory bullshit ?

Yes, but note that there are other more legitimate alternatives like gastric bypass, etc!

> Last time I looked into it the "loss" is only happening while taking the medication and you get back to normal once you stop, regardless of how long you’ve been taking it. So if stabilizing at a thinner state is your goal, the drug would be mostly useless or you should be ready to take the rest of your life.

This is untrue -- most people do not bounce all the way back to their original weight once they stop, and simply having the space from what seems to anecdotally be quite annoying symptoms ("food noise") might be well worth it.

> Going only a tad too far, it feels like recomming meth for its energizing and diet effects, that's not something we want at wide scale.

It's absolutely not this -- there are studies and trials on how GLP1 RAs work, their effects, and at this point they are a go-to effective treatment for type 2 diabetes, and the FDA has just approved them for heart disease.

The way they work is not completely known (for example the mental effects seem to be underweighted), but the mechanism of action is completely different a drug like meth.

Lest anyone think the December Air Force decision to eliminate Boeing from the competition was due to Boeing's ongoing leadership failures manifesting first as engineering and manufacturing quality issues, and now as real-dollar design and manufacturing contract eliminations, the rumored reason for the elimination was over contract issues, specifically data rights and fixed bid terms [1].

Would welcome HN'ers with more detailed insights into the data rights and fixed bid terms that were the bones of contention.

The medication suppresses appetite, so one wouldn't expect it to continue working when it isn't being taken. It's a treatment, after all, not a cure.

What it can do is help one "bootstrap" into healthy habits. Someone who is sufficiently overweight might suffer injuries from exercising, which makes it difficult to lose that weight. Someone who's drank a soda every morning for decades might break the habit if they stop for long enough.
because cars have gigantic externalities

heavier cars are deadlier in accidents, they cause more damage to road surfaces, they require wider roads and parking spaces which consumes land, they require more resources to produce, they require more energy to operate, they produce more pollution, and so-on
That sounds like an overstepping of surveillance. Remember power is just as dangerous when wielded in the wrong hands

> I mean come up with a pill that changes your eating habits and doesn't just repress them. Don't think anyone's got close to that yet.

So GLP1 gene therapy (if it ever gets here) might be the most reasonable way to achieve this, and might be the safest we've ever seen so far outside of maybe brain control.

> In the meantime overweight people are going to take what they can get.

100%. And AFAIK GLP1s are some of the safest we've seen so far, and much more effective than "eat less and move more" (as true as that may be).
> We need a drug that doesn't slow digestion but decreases hunger and increases satiety.

This is exactly what it does for me. The only side effect I have is a little bit of occasional acid reflux.
It would be a bottom-type of reference-types. This wouldn’t work for value-types like int, at least not without boxing, which would be very painful.

I was a screen holdout for a long time too but in the end tmux won me over :) But I still know screen very well.

So tmux doesn't do this well either? Too bad. I'm not surprised screen does it well though, with its long history.

By the way one thing that's a bit sad about the VT520 is that it looks really boring. It has a standard "VGA Monitor from the 90s" look. The great thing is that it takes standard PS/2 keyboards unlike the previous special ones. But the VT220 and VT320 looked much cooler.

Not to mention the VT05 by the way, that was straight out of star trek <3 It was deep as hell though, no way that would fit on a modern desk. It didn't even have a CPU, it was full of boards of discrete logic.
Show me the data with the average and median of all car purchases, not just new, and I'll show you that $800/mo is far from 'nothing'. Hell, my first 3 cars were under $4,000, with each lasting 5 years or better and I damnwell didn't spend anywhere close to enough on fuel and maintenance to bring my costs to even half that number. Maybe I'm an outlier, but in my bubble of poor folks, I'm certainly not.
That’s fragile even now…

I drive a small car, and my family has had SUVs ever since they could afford them. Were it not for cost, I would also drive an SUV or a big truck. A small car is a pain to carry people, luggage, furniture, plants, tool boxes, or anything beyond common commute items.
I suspect most people with SUVs would agree. Small cars are great, until the days when they're not.
