Splitting this into a separate reply, I said:

> "If there are any other causes of obstructive CAD other than fats getting into the artery walls, those cause would all have to be in that group as well (I don't know of any but I can speculate several)."

Here's one speculation of lay-person reasoning:

- Cosmetics people like Retinol skin creams because it makes skin look better. That's a fact that people recommend it.

- One way it does this by making it plumper, which smooths out wrinkles. I think that's a fact.

- It does this by increasing skin cell "turnover", i.e. what it does at the epithelial layer is trigger stem cells to split, making more skin cells, making thicker skin. That's a claim I've seen and am not sure if it's a fact, but it's a plausible mechanism of action.

- We eat retinol in our food, in the form of Vitamin A, that's a fact.

- Vitamin A gets through the guts into the body, that's a fact - it couldn't be a vitamin if it passed straight through us and out.

- Vitamin A gets into the blood stream; fact, there are lab tests of serum retinol levels.

- Vitamin A in the blood is supposed to be wrapped in Retinol Binding Protein to carry it through the blood, but it isn't always. It's normally captured by the liver, and released from the liver wrapped in RBP, but not all of it is captured by the liver and is free in the blood stream. The more of it in the diet, the more gets past the liver, the more of it is free in the blood stream. I've seen it claimed, have no sources to back it up.

- Blood vessels have an epithelial layer on the inside, an internal skin. Claim.

- Retinol in the diet -> retinol in the blood -> triggers stem cell split in the blood vessel walls -> thickening of the walls ("youthful!") -> narrowed blood vessels. Speculation.

(What do we have in this random link[1] I haven't read? "Until recently, it was thought that the sole important retinoid delivery pathway to tissues involved retinol bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP4). More recent findings, however, indicate that retinoids can be delivered to tissues through multiple overlapping delivery pathways, involving chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL)" - retinol is not only able to split stem cells, it's a pretty potent molecule in various forms; "Retinoids and immunotherapy may be used to treat high-risk or recurrent neuroblastoma" says Canadian Cancer Society; there's one bro-science connection for increased total LDL -> increased blood vessel damage which is nothing to do with the LDL per-se, but something it carries along with it. Something we eat a lot of as Vitamin A and carotenoids, something the US and Canada fortify flour and low-fat dairy and margarine with, which is another tie-in to both low-wheat and low-fat diet).

> In Hanoi, American officials, diplomats, and executives are rushing to wine and dine people who literally celebrate the defeat of ‘American force’ in public, on the record, every year.

I read that as that your are implying that the American diplomats should take the Vietnamese celebrating their independence as an insult versus the American diplomats.

This further implies that the American diplomats should be salty concerning the Vietnam War, to not lose face or something.

A few years ago, I bought a kit for a network-controlled self-synching clock, mostly as an excuse to practice SMD soldering. It came from a Chinese vendor, and China has only the single time zone, so the firmware was not designed with any sort of time-zone adjustment.

So I had an extremely accurate clock on my desk that was locked to Beijing time.

It was still viable, I just needed to note that it was time to get up for work when the clock said 02:00 instead of 07:00.

With regards to scheduling, we still have to negotiate when a meeting takes place-- "I may work nominally 09:00 to 17:00, but I have another appointment at 13:30", but it would eliminate the phase of trying to disambiguate "do you mean 13:30 your local time or mine?"

If you're using a shared calendar platform, specifying active hours is common anyway.

I'm a big fan of Matrix, but I'm embarrassed to recommend it to my friends until Element X supports audio calls... It's been months since the leading-edge release, and I don't know what to think: there's Element Call, however it's neither supported by Element X nor real alternative to legacy peer-to-peer audio calls.

This is the standard response, and I've given it myself, but I refuse to accept that we need all of the bloat of Chromium in order to do internationalization, accessibility, fast high-resolution rendering, etc.

I use a different retro point of reference than josephg, though it happens to involve the same microprocessor. One of my favorite programs as a child was Diversi-Tune, an early music program for the Apple IIGS. It could play and record MIDI, and also show song lyrics, karaoke-style. The total program size is just under 48 KB, including one file that appears to contain configuration data. Granted, that doesn't count the Apple IIGS ROM or the ProDOS 8 operating system. When you add those, the total comes to just under 200 KB (for a ROM version 01 Apple IIGS).

And Diversi-Tune didn't even use all of the ROM. I know this because one of the areas where Diversi-Tune fell short, even by Apple IIGS standards, was accessibility. The documentation for the Textalker GS screen reader specifically called out that the screen reader didn't work with Diversi-Tune because Diversi-Tune didn't use QuickDraw II for text output. Needless to say, Diversi-Tune didn't support modern internationalization either.

But how much code would it really take to implement a modern Diversi-Tune with accessibility, internationalization, and so on? It must be well short of the ~180 MB (and growing) for an Electron binary. Current work on Rust GUIs suggests that the binary size might fall between 5 and 15 MB, depending on which compiler optimizations one chooses. And that's with an advanced GPU-based renderer that compiles shaders at run time. I'm sure it's possible to do better on that front. Of course, that's on top of the OS, but one could easily imagine a sub-500-MB Linux-based OS as the platform. I don't know about memory usage.
If there are enough buttons, yes.

Toyota makes 10 million cars a year.

Another angle is that you can add/remove/relabel software buttons later. Hardware decisions are much more final.
>Incredibly, its mice will still charge dead-cockroach-style, flipped on their back.

I don't understand this comment in the article. What is incredible about that? I mean, I could turn my notebook or smartphone over and it would still charge the same, what's the big deal?

>This situation is worsened by the fact that many manufacturers now ship devices without a charging brick.

Which ones (so I can avoid them)? I just purchased a Dell notebook earlier this year and it came with a brick.
> Is this even legal? I live in the USA.

IANAL, not even remotely, but I have some amount of familiarity with this stuff. Don't take me at my word, though. Get expert advice instead.

FCC rules absolutely apply here, and the FCC has explicit guidance for radar transmitters (https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-96-2040A1.pdf). But which specific laws apply depends on a lot of things, such as what frequencies you're using.

The laws are a lot more lenient if you aren't selling the thing you make, but they still exist. In general, they boil down to "you can't cause interference with licensed transmitters" and "you can't use more than a weak signal without a license".

If I were doing a project like this, I'd probably look very hard at non-radio solutions, such as perhaps laser ranging, where there isn't much legal risk.
I spent (5y ago) so much time searching for induction stove with physical knobs. The touch interface at my previous place was driving me crazy, a slight misalidgment and the stove would beep like it’s end of the world. Luckily Miele produces some at the premium price (or was at the time) but I considered it an investment in my mental health.
This attitude is a HN/reddit thing and the incredulity is a sign you spend a lot of time in that online bubble. The rest of us just buy what makes the most sense for us and our families.
Couldn't you still run a digital bus all the way and then have some conversion to/from analog controls at the end? Keep the computer but lose the screen?

The interface is the problem, not the underlying information representation or communication.
What benefits does this have? You'll still have to have a server running and you lose control of your account, if I'm understanding what you mean (letting matrix.org handle accounts).
I guess the hot tip is to dig out the O'Reilly UUCP and Netnews book, and see if any of the phone modems still work. MacOS still ships with uucico and uucp.

Also my experience after 15 years of contracting. The fixed-bid contracts were the worst because they attempting to squeeze as much as they could for that cost. After a few of them I stopped even discussing them as an option.

If someone loses their autonomy as a contractor that's all on them, not the contract. I was always very clear that it was a B2B relationship with my clients.

Hourly rates also meant that if projects went long, or other work became avail, I would usually just continue to work on it, which can become quite lucrative. Fixed-bid contracts always gave the client a reason not to sign another contract. Time and Materials contracts meant a 3 month contract could easily turn into a 9 month contract, no new contract necessary.

>On other hand homelessness is rampant in USA/Canada and that's a major fail of the capitalism.

Meanwhile in capitalist China[1], they're so great at building homes that there are entire cities with barely anyone living in them, "ghost cities". Insofar as a tight housing market contributes to homelessness, it's clear that it's caused by US/Canada specific factors (eg. NIMBYism, building codes, and environmental regulations) than capitalism.

[1] Even though ostensibly it's "socialist with chinese characteristics", for all intents and purposes the real estate sector is capitalist.
Nah. Every ambitious indoor or vertical farming startup so far has failed, or is in the process of failing. Looks like @ahartmetz has it right and those "specialists" really were idiots. It's amazing that investors would put money into this space without seeing some evidence that costs could eventually be reduced with scale. Just another consequence of zero interest rates, I guess.
This may depend on the kind of meat. I cook mostly turkey, chicken or fish.

At high powers over 500 W my meat would explode.

Moreover, when cooking meat at a lower power for a longer time (e.g. up to between 20 and 30 minutes), the cooked meat is much more tender than when cooked faster.

If I boiled the meat, then maximum power could be used. However I do not boil it, but I roast it in the microwave oven in a covered glass vessel, with nothing added, except salt and condiments. Thus it is much more tasty than boiled.
I don't think there's a setting for "only allow people from X server", but you can make the room private and only invite people from that particular server.

At a former company, we were all issued YubiKey Nanos, which just never worked for me. None of my coworkers had a problem, but I couldn’t get the damn thing to register a touch no matter what I did, including swapping keys.
Eventually I came across a thread on an internal list for employees over forty, with several other people who were all having the same problem. The solution? Lick your finger. Gross, but it did the trick. And I’m stuck licking my finger every time I need to make a YubiKey work.

The US seems pretty distinct in that you can be a laborer and have quite high incomes. It's not unheard of to see people in major cities within the US having 7-figure incomes and still being an individual contributor in their field. Most of the "consultants" I've heard of outside of the US are only "rich" in that their incomes are high for their region (charging HCOL US rates while living in a place that is LCOL) or they're not doing labor anymore because they own a consultancy firm. In the US, I think consulting isn't worth it unless you are extremely lucky. You're more likely to see high income by trying to join FAANG.

I've been one of these people with the 7-fig incomes in the US. Unsurprisingly, you'll see a lot of data points like mine here because HN is primarily focused on the US audience since YC is a US (primarily silicon valley) company.

Agree. If we could time-travel back to 1985 then fine, I would miss very little about the modern internet.
