The cash back rewards is not, as far as I know, actually all that good in comparison to its competitors like American Express. Giving a month to pay off a balance I believe is referred to as a "grace period" which is pretty common place in credit cards. A month is nice, but I believe most cards are usually around 4 weeks. But the UI for the card's online banking is fairly attractive, especially if you're already an iPhone user, which I imagine most Apple card holders would be.
Paper mills helped us get AI-generated diagrams of rats with priapic erections that were larger than the entire rest of their bodies. I'm just saying SOME good came out of this hellmouth.
>how you would sequester the gaseous CO2 other than "put it underground."

I wonder if there is a reason you couldn't just sequester the powder. Probably too expensive? Or not volume efficient?

>to leak out eventually due to plate techtonics

This might seem shortsighted, but I'm OK pushing the problem out by 50 million years or so.
Have you actually tried that though? People always bring this up like it's some cyberpunk fantasy but working with a one pound weight strapped to your face is awful and staring at screens situation an inch from your eyes is really really hard on them and absolutely sucks. I bet using VR for 8 hours a day would actually hurt your eyes.

Actual VR/AR desktop mirroring is a thing that exists now. It's a niche of a niche of a niche because it's not a good experience. It's interesting for the five minutes until it becomes unbearable.

Consider that many simracers, the niche that VR is the absolute best for, do not regularly use VR, because it's just too much fuss to put a damn set of goggles on, even when you are already sat in a purpose built simracing rig!
It seems like it's a MOF amine approach which does have some benefits against the MEA used in submarines, such as lower corrosive properties potentially, lower heating requirements as you don't have to heat an aqueous solution, and it can be easier to discard the remnants once its co2 absorbing properties are diminished.
It wouldn’t be too hard to create a physical device that can only be used to set up and retrieve Authenticator-app style 2FA codes.

All you’d need is a camera to read QR codes, a display, a few kB of storage and some pretty basic processing.

But then I guess that storage would need to be encrypted with some sort of authentication. Hmm.

Whats more, the isUserValid function can't return a more detailed error about what was not valid about the User. It can only return falsy.
They're buying semaglutide salts from China and mixing it into distilled water. It's not that difficult. I wouldn't trust the sources to be pure and not doped with something else though. You're taking an even larger risk with an injectable.
SSO often costs quite a lot to maintain, given how widely varied the systems are. Seems reasonable to charge for an optional high-complexity and high-maintenance-burden feature.
It’s what users are addicted to. I did that with TikTok first time I installed it. Just swipe swipe watch swipe. Those like 15-30 seconds hits are addictive as hell. I deleted my account after an hour and haven’t touched it since, except the occasional video a friends sends a link to. Their algo is way better than Twitter or Meta algos.
The email thread continues. Linus later responded with:

>No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that
I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.
>I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random
internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have
been riled up by them.

Which I find pretty concerning statements, quite a disservice to the community. It's a global community, and here the maintainers take some action without explanation. They don't even have a communiqué at hand to tell people what this action is, why it was taken, and which alternatives were considered but rejected. This is the bare minimum that I expect of the maintainers of a piece of software that is very critical to many millions of systems worldwide.
Counting on the goodwill of users is not acceptable for an operating system that underpins the security of people's computers.

I find the comment at the end interesting

// Creates a user and returns the newly created user's id on success

Hmm, it returns an id? But the @returns is Promise<any>? The code as written will change when userService.create changes... without the actual, human readable bit of prose, that potential code issue could be easily overlooked.

Of course, here the code could have a newtype for UserId and return Promise<UserId>, making the code better and then the prose is basically not needed (but please just write a docstring).

FWIW I would document that the `user` parameter is modified. And document the potential race condition between checking the existence of a user and creating a user, and maybe why it was chosen to be done in this order (kinda flimsy in this example). Which would probably lead me to designing around these issues.

Trying to only document via self-documenting code seems to always omit nuances.

/** Create a user and return the id, or throw an error with an appropriate code.
*
* user.password may be changed after this function is called.
*/
async function createUser(user: User): Promise<number> {
if (!validateUserInput(user)) {
throw new Error(err.userValidationFailed);
}

if (isPasswordValid(user.password)) {
// Check now if the user exists, so we can throw an error before hashing the password.
// Note: if a user is created in the short time between this check and the actual creation,
// there could be an unfriendly error
const userExists = !!(await userService.getUserByEmail(user.email));
if (userExists) {
throw new Error(err.userExists);
}
} else {
throw new Error(err.invalidPassword);
}

user.password = await hashPassword(user.password);
return userService.create(user);
}

Free and Lightweight SaaS Boilerplate for Developers
I recently built a lightweight and free SaaS boilerplate called StartFast that aims to be a clean starting point for newbie developers or indie hackers who want to get up and running with a micro SaaS app quickly. It’s designed to be minimal, with just the essentials, so you can skip the setup headaches and focus on building your app.

Over the weekend, I participated in the latest Techstars Startup Weekend hackathon in Calgary and used a Pro version of StartFast to quickly spin up an MVP for our team project. While the Pro version has additional features like AI-powered content generation, the free version is perfect for those looking to dive into SaaS development with a solid, no-frills foundation.

If you're interested, you can check it out here: https://startfast.cc

Would love to hear your feedback or answer any questions!

I think you don't understand the core argument re the SSO Tax, which is that security is a positive sum good, which is why it should not be the feature used for price discrimination.

Not all products have other good features to use for price discrimination, so I have some sympathy for vendors here, but I think it often indicates laziness in thinking about what they can use to do the necessary price discrimination.
It’s interesting that American neoliberalism perpetuates this thinking of staunch independence, an unrealistic notion that every man fully defends and stands for their own interests. It seems to espouse creating the terrifying Hobbesian “”natural state””… any notion of collective defense by default, as outlined here, is rejected as “idealistic socialism/paternal states”… even that phrase, “paternal”, being used as a pejorative says so much about the American psyche (I still blame Cold War-era anti-communist propaganda for lobotomizing America’s society thinking capabilities).

That’s really the key difference between US and European thinking on privacy. Europe was slow but always thought it was fucked up. Americans don’t seem to grasp why they should care or understand how perverse their blindsight is.
And that’s fine. As Bismarck said, politics is the art of the possible, and what becomes possible ebbs and flows with the shifting of the Overton window. Stronger voter ID laws one decade, smarter voter ID laws the next.

No, it was a separate payment method called “Apple Card Monthly Installments.” If you just charged a purchase to your Apple Card, it was not an installment payment. That’s probably the confusion the regulators were complaining about.

Been following this case closely because Whelan is from Michigan. Imagine how depressed he must have been as others with much less time behind bars were released. He had to think he'd been forgotten about and could have been bitter towards America.

Instead what makes it even more amazing that he hatches this plot to feed info from the Ukraine front lines to US diplomats visiting him in prison. What if the visiting room was bugged? If he had gotten caught undoubtedly he would have had 'an accident' and been killed by the Russians. I think this former Marine deserves some formal recognition from the US.
Watch Face Format
Specifically, Google/Samsung destroying one of the major use cases for smartwatches (the other major one being fitness/sportsball tracking) - informative watchfaces. Not dissimilar to what Manifest V3 is doing to browser extensions.

As an avid user of Sectograph - a watchface that shows calendar events graphically as sectors/arcs on a clock, turning the watchface into an at-a-glance schedule preview, I just discovered to my horror that I'm stuck with the smartwatch I have (Galaxy Watch 5 Pro), as current models are all Wear OS 5, and are not allowed to run this watch face, or any nontrivial/useful one.

Sure, this change has been announced over a year ago, but it seems to have passed with very little discussion on-line, including none on HN (that I could find), so I'm bringing this up now.
No. The financing Apple is offering is typically 12 months split into 12 separate payments. That is 0% financing and not a 'charge card' style. You're still getting 11 months of delayed payments, unlike a charge card where everything is due once a month from the previous month of the card.

My personal hunch is that the more you read, the better your model of reality is. If you have an interest to a particular time/topic and you've read almost all you can find about it you have a better understanding of "something" from a different point of views. Like read all about a particular event in WW2 from all the sides and on different levels (military, economy, social, political). A term coined by Mortimer Adler is "Syntopical Reading", but by deeply exploring a simple concept you can build your knowledge on how the world works.

Several benefits from deeply knowing a limited subject:
- when you listen people who are "well known" talking stupid shit about a topic you understand that the info you're getting is not always that high and you need to check multiple sources (if you need to make a decision)
- you understand complexity better and "survival" bias
- you can even bet for fun on a prediction market when you see a stupid narrative getting puffed up (I've made around 1k after the CrowdStrike bet that it wasn't a "hack")

But the biggest win is to put more knowledge on your "tree" you've grown from a simple subject to related areas. This mental skill is applicable in almost all complex situations and this might be related to "the wisdom" you're talking about.

The downside is the more you know, the more cynical you get with your sources :)
> As it entered the tube, the Berkeley air contained CO2 in concentrations ranging from 410 ppm to 517 ppm. When it came out the other side, the scientists could not detect any carbon dioxide at all, Zhou said.

This sounds like it could be the basis for a respirator-like breathing apparatus, not requiring tanks, for entering and staying in enclosed spaces where the concentration of CO2 is high. (Provided there is enough oxygen.)
Hopfield networks are great, but is this Nobel-Winning physics idea worth hype?
If by compounding you mean producing semaglutide, no.

If you have a source to buy lyophilized semaglutide and some BAC water, you could certainly reconstitute it yourself and pick a dosage, or compound in some vitamin b12 or similar.

In practice for an average person, this means either buying them as research chemicals directly from china, or from resellers that mark it up by 10-50x. You might get a COA that testifies the chemical in question and it's purity level for that batch, and maybe that COA will actually match the batch in your vial. But you almost certainly won't get any guarantee on sterility. And there are reports of the contents of vials getting mislabeled, so people got entirely different products.

You can try to counter some of the sterility issues with filter syringes, etc., but you're only mitigating some risk, not eliminating it.

My feeling is that Ozempic, and Wegovy, has been prescribed to too many, to fast. It was always clear that Novo Nordisk would not be able to the need of both diabetics, people who truly need to lose weight and those who just want to lose weight. The latter group should not be serviced at all at this point.

Starting to push Wegovy was just a money grab, Novo must have known that it would disrupt their delivery of Ozempic.
How to unlock motivation for high performance in your team
yeah the whole Apple Intelligence only available to 15 and 16 iPhone users is anti-user / juice profits move.

The horrid thing is Apple Intelligence is not worth upgrading your device for and yet that's their marketing to get people to upgrade lol. As another commenter in this thread commented a comparable ChatGPT Siri is coming yet not for some months.

Definitely would jump to another platform if the phone is an AI sentient like driven phone (new paradigm in phone design / layout where there's not as much UI). So far ChatGPT is my best experience with such an AI and Microsoft who owns what half of Open AI did create pretty good Windows phone back in the day. Maybe it will happen... been wanting such since I first used ChatGPT.
Healthcare economics on of the most interesting subfields imo. Extremely tough to get markets to work here
Perfect is the enemy of good enough. I agree with your assessment, that a pill is not ideal current state of the art, but if a pill format improves compliance and delivery vs injectables, and the cost of the pill can be driven down to where it is similar to Metformin, the outcome is still the same (even if there is waste from a suboptimal delivery mechanism).

An efficient drug delivery mechanism you can’t get into the hands of a broad population cohort is not efficient. We are optimizing for accessibility for everyone who needs access to this drug family (imho).
Over the past year I've encountered so many situations where a person's opinion of how well an LLM accomplishes a task actually says more about that person's reading comprehension skills than it does the LLM's performance. This applies to both positive and negative opinions.
I don't think that op is implying anything wrong with a small library. It's more that you don't open the app and browse it. New shows that might be available are unknown, simply because you have not opened the app on your TV. Because of this, to save money, users will only subscribe for a month, then wait a year before they resub to find new shows.

I often open Netflix and just browse new additions. I can do this often, because I know the library will add new shows and movies every week.
Proportional representation will lead to a different kind of gridlock and unstable coalitions. Not sure I want to replicate that.

Not sure why you're downvoted.

You create a server and host it on IP x. You create a cert for it. You add the public key to your app.

Your app can now communicate with that IP over port 443 with that certificate. Remember that the idea that the domain must match the one in the certificate is a setting, enforced by the browsers. If you run your own code you can perfectly override that.

Now you can do whatever you like on that connection.

In fact, you don't HAVE to go that far. Many applications these days do private key pinning and use that connection to load the ads. IMDb does that on the iPhone.

MyQ and myBMW use the same to 'protect' the connection. MyQ's implementation of this, and subsequent implementation of CloudFlare's bot protection completely broke home-assistant's connection. All because they want you to use their app (and get bombarded with ads).

Doh/DoT was supposed to bring in MORE privacy for users, as it allowed users to resolve addresses without the system servicing the connection (ISP / StarBucks / McDonald's) from being able to see or modify the responses (think captive pages).

But all it brought was more spying. I am a firm believer that I should be able to inspect all traffic that an application sends out over my internet connection.
Victoza (liraglutide)'s patent expired, but its effect on weight loss is pitiful relative to later-generation GLP-1 agonists. Same story for Trulicity (dulaglutide), for which patent protections end in 2027.
Assuming you can get your hands on actual raw semaglutide and know what you are doing, absolutely. It's not rocket science, drug dealers do that all the time. Pill presses can be had on Alibaba for a few hundred bucks and you can order virtually anything from "research chemical" online stores as well.

But it is not risk free either. Contaminations of all kinds are the worst issue (particularly with anything supposed to be injected, so never try it with insulin...), but the most pressing one is agent distribution. That's what causes a lot of people to OD on stuff cut with fentanyl - if the fent, the actual drug (say, heroin) and the fillers aren't properly mixed, you may end up with a bunch of pills with far higher doses than intended while other pills essentially consist of pure filler.
I would say (as all good technical people know) it depends.

I have come to appreciate the style of early returns rather than else statements as I have found over the years it generally makes the code easier for me to follow when I’m looking at it possibly years later.

It really depends on the particular condition, but sometimes it just reads better to me to not use the else, and this is because as a style I tend to try have “fail conditions” cause an early return with a success being at the end of the method. But again there are regularly exceptions where trying to do this “just because” would contort the code, so returning an early success result happens often enough.

I have however found that sometimes ReSharper’s “avoid nesting” suggestion (particularly in examples like yours) results in less clear code, but it’s almost always at least not worse and maybe slightly better for the sake of consistency.

EDIT: Having thought about this more, here is why I find early returns generally easier to read than else statements.

With an early return the code is generally more linear to read as when I get to the end of the if block I can instantly see there is nothing else of relevance in the method, I save myself having to needlessly scan for the end of the else block, or even worse, past more code blocks only to find that the rest of the method’s code is irrelevant.

Again, not a hard rule, but a consistent style in a code base also generally makes it easier to read.
AMD and Intel aren't 'calling a truce'. They've always worked together on projects where the industry would benefit from standardization and having many experienced people put their 2c in. They still compete on products, just not standards - which is a good thing.
I have junk gmail address that gets filtered into my real gmail account (Zunk label instead of Junk) which keeps my real gmail account clean (few to handful of emails a day of things that are meaningful). Ive always have given out my junk gmail address to anyone i dont know personally or do business with.
Realistically though, isn't most of USB a race to the bottom with bad implementations being the norm, not the exception? USB-C is an especially tragic case of this, with shitty products outnumbering the good ones 100:1, fake reviews everywhere, insane standards with tiny differences, counterfeits, etc. Certifications like Thunderbolt can help but still aren't an absolute guarantee (like with my MacBook and expensive but buggy TB dock).

Anyone can make a USB-C peripheral. Very few companies can make a GOOD one.

It doesn't matter what the on-paper specs are if 95% of real world applications are crap... the UX for consumers sucks.
The problem with not offering SSO on lower tiers is that it can make it hard to test into a new service. I might want to try out a new tool with one team for a couple of months and see how it goes before recommending adoption for a broader group. I don't want to have to sign a year-long six-figure contract just to try something out. Sometimes you can work out a trial period with the sales team, but that's not always easy, and it puts a strict ticking clock on things that doesn't work in all situations.
