> If my child ingests sesame, they go into anaphylactic shock and without an epipen administered in minutes they will die.

Please excuse my skepticism, I am asking this out of a genuine desire to become better informed: how can you possibly know this? Unless you happened to have an epi-pen handy the first time your kid ever ate a sesame seed, which seems unlikely, then if this were true would not your kid have died then and there?
Incredible. Server and compute costs continue to plummet yet keeping an archive around is a financial burden. Sadness.

From your perspective, has this shift reduced the number of options you’re comfortable feeding to your allergic child?

I guess what I’m asking is, was the previous situation (label indicating the mere possibility of cross-contamination) enough of a risk that you avoided those foods, before this labeling shift?

And has the availability changed post-regulation as far as brands or bakeries that lean in to being conscientious about this risk?

X in AJAX stands for XMLHttpRequest, which was predecessor of fetch API. It was originally used for XML in Outlook Web but wasn't tied with it. You can send any content type with it. Also it was for async web, I don't remember it had much relation to web services. Maybe SOAP, but that wasn't MS.

In case of gRPC I believe specs are tied to protobuf but I have seen thrift implementation also.
From the FDA letter, it looks like they want Bimbo to move the allergens from ingredients to a possible cross-contamination statement. Seems pretty straightforward.

We also offer the following comments:

Separate from the food allergen labeling requirements of the Act, firms may voluntarily place other information or statements on the labels of food products to disclose information about allergens to consumers. For example, firms may choose to voluntarily place allergen advisory statements on products to alert consumers to the possible presence of major food allergens due to cross-contact. Any allergen advisory statement must be truthful and not misleading.

https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-c...

On the other hand, Bimbo is misspelling Khorasan!

The ingredient list declares “Kamut®” which is not part of the common or usual name of Khorasan wheat because it is a brand name. Furthermore, Khorasan is misspelled as “Khorsan.”

I always cringe whenever I see people giving McKinsey credit for stuff (good or bad). It's a powerpoint factory of 20-somethings with zero experience executing anything.

To suggest the virtuous, humble Purdue management could never have figured out how to sell oxycontin and bend regulators--without the insight of a few powerpoint slides--gives me a chuckle.

It's not like Purdue, a drug company, had any experience marketing drugs and dealing with regulators before, right? I mean, it must have been a super hard problem for them to solve. How do you sell an instant painkiller thats wildly addictive, while getting corrupt regulators to be corrupted? Impossible!

Too bad they got duped by those evil 22-year old powerpoint geniuses at McKinsey, who are clearly the real villains of the story.

> Yet another example of people blaming chaos

This isn't how this works, at all.

We are talking about large scale systems on long timelines that have massive momentum and energy. Predicting something 18 months out isn't hard (Florida will have a hurricane in the next 18 months).

Predicting "will crops get enough water in the mid west in any given year" is impossible because of "chaos" because of complexity.

This result is not surprising to any one who pays attention to how the math for these systems works.

Hacking Amazon's Eero 6 (part 2)
This is a nice, data heavy summary of the situation!

Something that stood out to me: there's been a marked decline in state and local funding for NYCT since before COVID. I wasn't fully aware of just how much the city and state had independently cut back: it looks like NYCT part of MTA alone is receiving $3B less per year than it was in 2019.

Congestion pricing is sound policy regardless, but this hammers home the perception that NYS treats the MTA (and NYCT in particular) as a financial sponge that can be squeezed for spare change whenever a boondoggle needs funding somewhere else.

i've thought about this, especially with respect to e-ink screens. some versions of the barnes & noble nook work this way: there's a small color lcd touchscreen for interactive stuff, and a large black-and-white e-paper display for bulk information display. i thought that a small reflective lcd like cheap scientific calculators use would be enough for a line or two of text, permitting rapid interaction without putting excessive demands on the e-paper's slow and power-hungry refresh

but i think that sharp's memory lcds are so much better than e-paper that there's no real benefit to that approach now

> A single 1-bit editable line is so hard to work with that ed[2] isn't even installed by default on many Linux distros. However, people did once got real work done with it and similar tools.

it's not that command lines are hard to work with; it's that ed's user interface is designed for 110-baud teletypes, where erasing is impossible, and typing out a 10-character error message means forcing the user to wait for an entire second, so it's preferable to just say '?\r\n'. user interfaces designed for more capable hardware, such as an adm-3a connected over a 1200-baud modem, can be immensely easier to use, without abandoning the command-line paradigm. you'll note that ex(1) is installed by default on every linux distribution except alpine (which does, oddly enough, have an ed(1)), and i know a programmer who still uses it as his preferred editor, preferring it even to vi

i've certainly done plenty of real work with tcsh and bash, where the primary user interface paradigm is editing a single line of text to your satisfaction, submitting it for execution, meditating on the results, and then repeating. not to mention the python repl, gdb's command line, octave, units(1), r, pari/gp, sqlite, psql, swi-prolog, guile, ngspice, etc. i like direct-manipulation interfaces a lot, but they're harder to design, and especially hard to design for complex problem-solving activities. it's just that correcting a typo a few words ago isn't really a complex problem-solving activity, so, by my lights, even a relatively dumb
direct-manipulation text editor can beat a command-line editor like ex most of the time.

1. Release the source only for the purpose of studying it. Say some scientific software library's source available so you can check the details of the algorithm.

2. Release the source, and allow you to make improvements to it, but not give any further distribution rights.

3. Release the source, and allow non-commercial users to improve the source and distribute those improvements to other non-commercial users.

4. Release under some dual license.

5. Release under certified Open Source licenses.

I would say, most people would only label 1 or 2 as "source available". Over the past few years 3 and 4 are becoming more popular (for whatever reasons - good or bad). So 3 should have a name as well.
>Increasing the density of jobs, hospitals, restaurants, homes, schools, and more is key … as density grows mass transit becomes essential

This guy has it all backwards. No developer in his right mind is going to plow billions of dollars into high density housing without existing rail access. The new subway and commuter lines have to be built first, then the high density development becomes viable around it.
The way medical billing works is plainly fraud, but the people who are successfully defrauded don't end up knowing any better. For everyone else it's merely attempted fraud, and if you (forcefully) call out the fraudsters they'll bargain their bill down to something more defensible and/or find someone else to pay it.

I'm nearly done dealing with an instance of this myself (for someone else). Had a $1k copay that was legit per their "insurance" plan. The hospital also sent a fraudulent bill for another ~$2k rather than doing the work of figuring out how to bill "insurance" for it. Told them we'd pay in full once they presented a complete set of non-fraudulent bills. Half a year later, with me holding the hands of both bureaucracies, they finally were able to get "insurance" to pay that second bill. I told them we were ready to pay the $1k legit copay, and they told me they had taken care of it months ago using some internal charity fund. The system is an utter joke.

>I think this has more to do with the general lack of curiosity about the world beyond the US borders that prevails in most of American society.

Just learning about all the countries the British messed up would take at least another 5 or 6 years on top of whatever schooling is already done.

If you wanted to add everything America has done, well, people wouldn't be graduating high school until they are in their 30s.

We did learn about the Anglo-Zulu War and the East India Company, but a decision has to be made on what list of British atrocities to include in a history curriculum.
I’m not impressed (or even tolerant) of unschooling without seeing how their uneducation is practically stacking up with their traditional peers. I was homeschooled for part of my education, and even with wealth, it’s easy to miss critical foundations and unschooled kids sound ripe for it. I had to work very hard in some areas to catch up with or surpass my peers, and I think many wouldn’t have the patience to do it. Especially in areas known for permanently losing students like mathematics.

Its nothing but a scam and anyone that supports it is completely heartless. It makes people poorer and nothing else. NYC has the national guard at its subways because its so dangerous. Its beyond dangerous still during many times. It is also always fucked up and is late or it breaks or other issues. Its not that reliable.

Its just a scam to grab money from already broke people that are suffering and only awful people support this because they can't think for themselves and are followers.

Interesting that the major cities with sizable public transport user populations are all in the northeast hub. Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, DC.

The best way I can describe it is older cities are built at human-scale, newer cities are built at car-scale.

> Modern ADHD meds are really not comparable to powerful opioids. They are both dopaminergic, but they are night and day in terms of addictiveness. Even weak opioids vs strong opioids is night and day.

True, my point more was that false advertising about "duration of extended release action" is a problem across multiple types of prescription drugs.

> True! But the word "average" is actually not, itself, precise. It has at least three typical meanings: mean, median, mode. These all have quite large deltas to each other when talking about dose-response curves, and since they are curves, you would also have to pick a norm first.

The marketing material doesn't care. "All day", "24 hour", "12 hour" are the phrases that get used.

Meanwhile reality is that every person who takes a drug is different and doctors need to be aware of this and just ask the patient how well things are working out.

> The majority of the pharmaceutical problem came from a very small number of people who churned out prescriptions like a literal mill. Like 5 minute appointments all day every day - not random doctors overprescribing their patients by accident. What is true is that the random doctors overprescribing provided a certain amount of cover for the corrupt doctors, for a while.

Yeah it got out of hand, but I'd imagine that this wasn't happening from day 1.

Also when we talk about preventative measures, people going to a pill mill doctors to get a refill are already addicted, but what can have a long term impact is putting in the effort to prevent people from becoming addicted in the first place, which means understanding how so many people who did not want to get addicted to opioids ended up that way.

What's the point in exaggerating? This is nowhere near true. There are many more bike lanes than there were even a decade ago, but the city have several orders of magnitude more navigable roads than bike lanes.

That's the point of congestion pricing: to reduce demand on the street grid to those who actually need it. Congestion pricing makes the streets less congested; it benefits those who need to drive.
Does anyone have answer as to why MTA is a financial mess and a single elevator project costs $81 mln[1] ?

Congestion pricing seems like a pathetic attempt to squeeze money to fund bloated MTA salaries and bogus overtime[2]. that just eats MTA's budget. Widely cited $15 bln budget hole is roughly comparable to the decade of bogus $1.4 bln overtime that MTA workers accrue

Transit agency must go through a deep and thorough cleanup and restructuring of its finances, before it demands more funding from taxpayers

Same like city of San Fransicko spent $24 Bln with a B with nothing to show for it, arguably situation got only worse[3], while nonprofit and homeless industrial complex only got record funding and record fraud charges

My personal opinion is that the extremely high levels of activity in healthcare fraud prosecutions really aren't good for our country. They sound perfectly bipartisan and like no brainers (I haven't read into the details of this one but assume there are plenty of compelling details) - but it's just another 50lbs on the pile of "healthcare is highly complex and hard to do business in." These rules are BRUTALLY hard to comprehend for businesses.

The anti kickback statute and false claims act and cures act are all riddled with ambiguity and cases where normal intuitive business practices become criminal. It just stinks to do business with Medicare.
It's be an interesting national service to have a registry of crazy. Let everyone file whatever they want. Tabulate it all. Look at the distributions, report some clustering (people who report this as crazy also report these items or these top items as crazy).
