That's great but the trouble is that as you get older medical conditions become harder and harder to find out. They also become more dangerous.

I'm telling you this because my father was the same way you are. he avoided going to the doctor at all and diagnosed himself.

He also smoked for 60 years. Yeah. He had his first heart attack in his 30s. Very avoidable. His second in his 40s. Then another in his 50s. Finally died of lung cancer in his 70s. Honestly a miracle he made it that far.

You can tell if you're feeling okay. But a lot of diseases have no symptoms. The reality is you cannot run your own blood tests. If you're young, maybe it's fine. But as you get older it no longer flies. What happens is you will become very sick, realize it's due to something like high blood pressure or diabetes, and you're WAY too far gone to fix it. The earlier you get on top of bad markers, the better. You don't want to live 30+ years with something like high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Maybe you don't smoke (good for you), but that doesn't save you. Neither does living an active lifestyle. You can get high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart failure, etc regardless of your lifestyle. There're people who die MUCH younger than my father did while being much healthier.

My basement tends to be colder than the rest of my house as well.

To solve this, I put a blower fan at the foot of the stairs blowing up. This takes the coldest air in the house and sends it to the middle of the house.

The 1 ~100 watt fan balances the heat of the basement far more than any supplemental heating systems ever would, and at 13 cents/kwh only costs me about $0.30/day to run.
Anecdotally, my gums used to bleed fairly easily (like during a dental cleaning) and they don’t anymore since flossing somewhat more regularly. So I think you can judge this by how dental cleanings go.
It's a cyclical industry, so whether it "points" or peaks can be argued, but in 2021 561 container ships were ordered vs 114 in 2020

• Approximately 900 container ships are currently being built or on order worldwide

• These have a combined capacity of 6.8 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units)

Major shipping lines:

• Evergreen: 20 ships of 15,000 TEU capacity (delivery 2024-2025)

• OOCL: 10 vessels of 16,000 TEU capacity

• MSC: Multiple orders including 24,100 TEU ultra-large ships and smaller vessels

• CMA-CGM: 6 vessels of 15,000 TEU capacity (delivery 2025)

Asbestos is entirely safe as long as it is non-friable. If graphene has similar risks it should also have similar safeties. Don't huff graphene dusts.
The A17 Pro (originally in the iPhone 15 Pro; now also in the iPad Mini) and A18 Pro (currently only in the iPhone 16 Pro) are the only chips Apple has produced with a "Pro" suffix.

Apple used to use the X suffix for bigger versions of their phone processors that went into iPads (starting with the A5X); that went away when the M-series was introduced.

And the "Pro" suffix itself doesn't seem to denote anything in particular-- there was never a non-Pro A17, and the "A17 Pro" going into the iPad Mini is itself a cut-down version of the chip that went into the iPhone 15 Pro (it has one GPU core disabled).
I hate when people bring this up.

Yes, it's an incredibly small amount of radiation for you because you're only in there for one X ray maybe once a year.

For someone who operates the Xray maybe a half dozen times in a day (or more), every day, that number changes dramatically. It's still likely fine, but it's far better to be safe than sorry.
There was some chatter on Macrumors that they flipped the orientation of the controller board so that the Jelly scrolling will be gone when used in portrait mode. That was the #1 display complaint on the outgoing model, so if its true then I’d count that as a win on improving the screen.
I think this could largely be an issue with public or VC/PE funded companies. There's plenty of private companies of small/mid size that make plenty of money but don't feel a need to grow excessively. You could think of the local plumbing company, or a small boutique consulting firm. They want to grow, but there's a natural barrier that's hard to cross without becoming a very large company and changing the nature of the company that the owner may be enjoying.

I have always wondered how that would apply to software companies though. If you make something that works really well and everyone wants to buy it, you could grow fairly large financially without needing a ton of people if you just focus on that one program that makes you successful. I imagine it's hard to not feel a need to scale up dramatically when you have millions of users/customers asking for new features.

Is there an app for that? I don't know how to put a shortcut on the a desktop anymore.
I don’t expect it will, I’m just surprised whenever my parcel shows it’s been cleared by customs before it has even left the origin country. (And that’s not a timezone bug, it’s explicitly described as a remote authorization, a preauthorization, or something like that.) Customs (partly) in software is not an absurd idea, was my point, I have no opinion on airships other than acknowledging their inherent coolness.
There just wasn't evidence-based studies for a lot of common dental practices. Not unlike when the FDA was created, a lot of old medicines were just given a pass, even though they aren't useful (like how Acetaminophen is barely better than placebo — it'd never be approved today).

Just because there's no actual studies for flossing, that doesn't mean that flossing is bad or not-needed per se, but there does need to be more basic-level studies for it. I had bad gum-disease in my 20s, but once I actually started flossing daily, it stopped progressing. So it clearly helped me, but a better study on whether everyone needs to floss and how often should be done.
The UKs genetic pool is so small its really interesting how many "unattractive" people they have there because of it.
The vast majority of philosophical arguments are actually arguments about definitions of words. You can't actually be "wrong" in philosophy -- they never prove ideas wrong and reject them (if they did, we'd just call it "science"), so it's just an ever-accumulating body of "he said, she said". If you ask a philosophical question, that's the answer you get: "well, Aristotle said this, and Kant said that, and Descartes said this, and Searle said that." "... so, what's the answer?" "I just told you." So if you want to actually argue about something, you argue about definitions.
Last time I tried using Safari (~2 years ago) I was mildly annoyed seeing ads and Safari "constantly" removing uBlockOrigin so meh...
Right, but they don't do so using the default loader, it looks like they likely do it via dlopen or similar runtime dynamic linking. If you compile the binaries statically, it wouldn't effect that.

I did a little math using a common GTK application as an example: nautilus. Using `ldd` and several shell utilities, if you were to statically link it it clocks in at around 80MB in binary size, but that would be worst case without LTO.

FWIW I think graphics stacks are one of the few places where dynamic linking is still highly relevant.

One think I like about this effort is their attempt to factor out the cacheing of prior answers due to having asked a similar question before. Due to the nearly eidetic memoization ability of LLMs, no cognitive benchmark can be meaningful unless the LLM's question history can somehow be voided after each query. I think this is especially true when measuring reasoning which will surely benefit greatly from the cacheing of answers from earlier questions into a working set that will enhance its associations on future similar questions -- which only looks like reasoning.
The typical iPhone Mini product cycle:

Make iPhone Mini -> Mini only accounts for 10% of sales -> Cancel iPhone Mini -> Notice that 10% of iPhone customers haven't updated for 3 or 4 cycles -> Make iPhone Mini -> Suffer crippling corporate amnesia -> <...>

I'm expecting the brain worms to reach step 4 of the corporate consciousness cycle around the next generation or so.
I guess the trouble is that in the case of LeetCode/PE, people actually just want the one thing (programming language proficiency), and not the other (mathematics). Learning 2 things at once can be very useful, but a lot of people would probably choose something else for their second skill. Most relevant for developers might be, networking, OS's, version control, databases, testing, CI/CD, security, concurrency.
On a related note, I recommend this short presentation by Hacker News regular @simonw on the history of airships, including a look at the future of airships:

Fear of being eaten by lions is not irrational. Walking through the jungle thinking you are somehow not on something's menu, that is irrational.
> USD is the wests reserve currency.

Kinda. US treasure bills are the main world's reserve actives.

But the world also holds other kinds of active, and none of that is exactly caused by the dollar denominating trade.

Trade denomination causes some inflation exporting that can mess with other economies due to price stickness. But again, that's nothing like the OP claims.
I disagree.

I am ambitious and from Europe. I live in Switzerland and I love it here.

There is no way I would wish to move to a dysfunctional country like the US(no offense).
I've been self-employed for years now (USA), and never buy dental insurance, because it's not really insurance, it's basically a non-taxable way for companies to give their employees extra money. Buying it as self-employed persons is basically just giving the "insurance" companies your own money.

Which won’t be any new business, since you know, no startups. So we’ll patronize whatever state-granted too-big-to-fail monopolist is left and then whine for more regulations when their planes fall from the sky.

> The biggest concern would be liberation of elemental fluorine

Yep.

But I'm personally more worried about the pelletized fuel. Pellets are not a great form-factor, and they don't have cladding. Fluoride salts are also far more aggressive than water (mechanically and chemically), so this will limit the maximum specific power of the reactor. So I don't think that something like 1GW molten salt reactor is even possible.

It might be OK if they want to continue using SMRs, though.

> The slightly reduced salt is also preferred to limit corrosion

Sidenote: that's actually not always a great idea. Steel is stainless because it's covered in a film of oxides, and without oxygen it might not be able to form.

This is a problem for the Russian BREST-300 reactor that is cooled by molten lead, they had to do almost 10 years of research to perfect a system that controls the amount of dissolved oxygen in the molten lead. And it's still not clear if they succeeded until the full-scale reactor is built.

In this case, though, I think that they can tune the reducers to react with fluorine preferentially, while still leaving enough oxygen.
Oh yes, that's the place.
Taking a medication with potentially severe side effects (including perhaps some that we haven't found yet) is hardly equivalent to using a machine to wash my clothes.

Its really made me happy that hackernews really liked this project (140 upvotes is pretty good in my opinion)

From what I remember , there was one other server as well which also was written in rust but I am not exactly sure

Also , the last time I was at it , it was really really alpha software but it was getting developed at good rate , so I am not sure about its current state (I was there when the author had gone to take his exams IIRC)
It's also tax-payer subsidized (i.e. regressive, because it's mostly higher-income people that get dental insurance) because it's money from your employer that you or your employer don't have to pay taxes on.
Nice choice, always been my favorite size.

Surprised though that they don't have an option with cellular so you can have always-on data access (i.e., with a data-only plan).

Updated: my bad, it does come with cellular -- it's just not advertised on the main product page
I'd imagine the author knows that you can't just sidestep customs, and it does feel a bit disingenuous that they didn't call that out. But hey, it's a pitch for money first and foremost. I'd imagine that they're just giving a complete list of things that slow down air freight and that internally they have plans for tackling each one, like not having to unload cargo to get it through customs and so using the airship as its own trucking vehicle post-customs.
...and yet it works better than any other system in existence.

1. You do not need to use sudo to run scripts and binaries, provided they are properly packaged. You just need to make them executable, which any user can do without entering the password.

2. You installed Arch Linux. That is a much more technically demanding accomplishment that simply does not equal to enabling sideloading on an Android device.

3. The official Arch repos do not discriminate on the basis of whether a given package will harm corporate interests, or the interests of the Arch development team. Google Play does - for example, NewPipe, which is a far better YouTube client than the official app in many respects, yet Google bans it for commercial advantage.
I generally agree with that..for a for profit project.

Gosub, despite have 2.6k Github stars, has a grand total of 0 sponsors. They literally take in no money. This is someone's unpaid side project.

I expect a designer would be welcome to contribute a design, just like coders can contribute code.
Except you can't acknowledge that "WP" isn't a trademark, and then say "you can't use it".
"Required" is hiding the ball here. There's desirable functionality - that you're touting in your sales pitch! - that isn't accessible without your client software, and it sure looks like https://clients.gouach.com/ won't do anything without a login.

https://docs.gouach.com/connected-batteries/monitoring-inter... explicitly states "In order to access the connectivity features, you will need a Gouach client account."

None of this is the end of the world, and I'm glad the batteries will continue to work as batteries after you go out of business, but it does come off as hypocritical given your big talk about repairability.
Ugh, that bezel.

Will full coverage screens with a software driven, virtual bezel every be a thing?
True, but they last long enough that you can get them second hand, whereas used products from other vendors tend to be junk not worth spending money on even at a cheaper price point.
