> I initially dismissed it as the same category of stupid as anti-vax beliefs

Dismissing things out of hand like this is a category of stupid in itself.

Look at the current research, listen to people who devoted their careers to studying this, make up your own mind. If you're on HN, then you're qualified enough to at least figure out who the genuine experts are and read what they recommend.

Putting any science-based debate into a "category" to dismiss is turning yourself into one of the stupid people.
Hi @piterrro Thanks so much for suggestion, I have created an issue and I will try to find a better way to improve this asap.

Please don't hesitate to check and make suggestions on issue: https://github.com/kiliczsh/mcp-mongo-server/issues/14
Years ago (10+) when I was deciding to use aws or hosting our own hardware in a colo for my company I found a spreadsheet where you plug in your hardware and hosting costs and the current Amazon pricing for their various products and it would give you how long to break-even on the initial investment.

It was always just above three years to break even. After we decided to self-host I still kept tracking the prices in the spreadsheet and as hardware costs fluctuated Amazon adjusted their prices to match. I figured someone at Amazon must have had the same spreadsheet I was working with.
Personal freedom ≠ "freedom of communities"—there is no such thing. Freedom applies to individuals, not collectives. When a community makes a decision that affects all its members, that’s democracy, but democracy is not unlimited authority. A majority vote does not grant the right to infringe on individual autonomy, which is why safeguards exist against the tyranny of the majority.

Banning fluoride does not restrict freedom—it prevents government overreach. In contrast, forcing fluoride on everyone would violate personal autonomy. Protecting individual choice is a fundamental principle, backed by real-world safeguards like constitutional rights, judicial review, and bodily autonomy laws. The burden of proof is always on those seeking to impose a policy, not on those defending individual freedom.
So then, you'd also be against adding folate/folic acid to bread for the same reason?

For those who don't know many countries including the US mandate the inclusion of folic acid in bread and certain other foods to ensure pregnant women get enough. A deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy causes birth defects in infants.

The real question is, fluoridated water in the past or not, how is any non-brushing patient being told they're teeth are top tier?
And for that there is fluoride mouthwash, which again isn’t ingested and would be more effective.

Yes, I was going to mention this. Had a friend who went down the coast for a day trip with a bunch of mates. On the way back on the train (1.5 hour ride) they had a competition to see who could drink the most water and most of them had several litres, a few of them managed a bit more. My mate also had a bunch of chips/snacks, but not everyone did.

Later that night, he got a desperate phone from his friends mum, screaming at him "What did you take! What drugs did you take!!!", he replied that they hadn't taken anything, but wasn't really believed. His friend was rushed to hospital with severe seizures and convulsions. The doctors eventually put him on a saline drip and he recovered.

Basically his friend lowered the salt content in his body so much that his body could not pass electrical signals. My friend was fine because he had consumed a bit of salt in his snacks. Kinda crazy.
While Sweden has free health care, it does not completely include dental care. It's free until you turn 20, after that you pay out of your own pocket. This is to incentivize people to take care of their teeth, instead of not caring and then expecting free replacement of your teeth. One you're 20, you only get a very tiny deductible on your dental care which equates to almost the exactly the cost of a single basic check-up once a year.
Where do you live where you can collect rain at a quantity that would allow you to forgo central water?

I’m not talking about having a barrel. Most states don’t care about that quantity. I’m talking about storing on the order of 10k gallons. A rain barrel is nothing. An average family in the USA uses hundreds of gallons a day. It doesn’t rain daily so you’d need thousands of gallons. Most states do not allow this, nor is it actually feasible for everyone to do this due to space constraints, which is why it’s generally not allowed.

Like he did with the Millton, Watson and other fraudsters, terrorists and other neo-nazis. Shame on US not to stand up on this.

While I see, the US citizens may be frustrated or dillusioned of life and Trump may offer simple solutions, I'm still eager to see the promises fullfill and how the pardoning will make the lifes of US citizens better.

It's not just about dynamically linked executables. The userland of Linux simply isn't as stable time-wise as Windows, especially when the timescale is measured in decades.

As an example, the latest Atari Jaguar linker (aln) for Linux was released back in 1995. It's a proprietary, statically-linked 32-bit Linux a.out executable. To run this on a modern Linux system, you need to:

- Bump vm.mmap_min_addr from 65536 down to 4096, a privileged operation ;

- Use an a.out loader because the Linux kernel dropped support for a.out back in 2022 ;

- Possibly use qemu-user if your system doesn't support 32-bit x86.

That's the best-case scenario, because some of the old Atari Jaguar SDK Linux binaries are dynamically-linked a.out executables and you're basically stuck running ancient Linux kernels in a VM. It's at a point where someone at the AtariAge forums was seriously considering using my delinking black magic to port some of these old programs to modern Linux. It's quite telling when reverse-engineering an executable with Ghidra in order to export relocatable object files to relink (with some additional steps I won't get into) is even an option on the table.

Sure, given enough determination and piles of hacks you can probably forcefully run any old random Linux program on modern systems, but odds are that Windows (or Wine or ReactOS) will manage to run a 32-bit x86 PE program from thirty years ago with minimal compatibility tweaks. Linux (both distributions and to a lesser degree the kernel) simply don't care about that use-case, to the point where I'd be pleasantly surprised if anyone manages to run Tux the Penguin: A Quest for Herring as-is on a modern system.
what problem should it solve? you can store anything in a db fetch it and run it. binaries, what not. parts of then. web components.

id ask, is it really a bottleneck. fetching code. maybe in some systems or types of execution environments it could be worth it. really dont know.

Id assume data is stored in databases because it needs to be viewed from different angles. (join statements etc ) and it has different peeformance and layout requirements.

most code is 'read only' too, so theres no need to do stuff like synchronization / locking on writes and ordering stuff.

then again, there might be systems that dont have this aspect, and somehow have very high load on fetching code, and maybe code is writable too, and could have queries to extract certain parts of code, or combined code from various files/tables.

i think tho the main reason is this difference between how code and data are fetched and used will be the reason why in the general case it works like it works. its not been needed to work differently. so no one looked for a solution. no big problems in the space. (my guessing)
So I downloaded a few dozen Indian apps
I could think of on top of my head and
started reading their manifest files

How do you download apps from the Android app store and read their manifest files?

Does this mean one could make a website that lists all those manifest file, so the users could decide against using apps that use this loophole?
Any fast growing open source YC-backed project to contribute?

uv can seemlessly get the correct python binary on demand. It would be a pain to get, say, python 3.9 or python 3.14 on my system. Making sure uv is installed actually seems to be less of an issue, but of course this varies.

Attention, Laptops and Generative AI in the Classroom

I'd like to note that they're not swapping like-for-like here. The differences might not be material for the use-case, and AWS probably don't even offer a product that does exactly what the Pure Storage system does, but S3 has a lot more resiliency as well as other features.

That doesn't mean they're wrong to move, it means you need to be careful to make sure that you pay for what you need, and try to avoid paying extra if all it gives you is stuff you don't want. I value the extra functionality, so I'm not moving my data off S3.
So when you go to brush your teeth you don't wet the toothpaste and toothbrush from the tap? Is it the fear of tap water that centers around this? I am curious about this as it seems the answers carry some cultural significance.
In the UK at least some areas have fluoridated water, despite almost all toothpaste being fluoridated. I suppose it most benefits the minority of people who do not brush their teeth. That benefit has to be balanced[1] against some evidence of risk.

IMO the right fix is better dental hygiene, and a better (less sugary) diet. These are in turn are in part symptomatic of other problems (poverty, long working hours with regards to lack of supervision of children).

An obvious manipulation tactic on the path to abolish cash. "Think of the children!"

A better alternative, remove small coins. They serve no purpose nowadays, inflation made them obsolete. They are even more expensive to make then their inherent worth.

The only purpose left for using small coins is for psychological manipulation, by pricing items at 0,99 instead of 1,00. This has been proven a successful tactic for supermarkets and vendors, to the detriment of buyers, who are manipulated into thinking something is "cheaper", because the price is reduced by 1% or less.

A few European countries, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy already use the practice of rounding to 5 with no issues whatsoever, thereby basically removing smaller coins.
Which is also happens to be the average daily milk consumption in the Netherlands. They drink 340 kg per year on average which is 33 oz per day. And people used to drink more milk back then.
> Basically almost every consumer ISP offer mandatory includes an ISP managed gateway

Is that really true? I never thought Internet subscriptions would require use of ISP's own device. I for sure have been using my own DSL modem/router/wlan device for my own connections (EU).
you're really genuinely shocked that people would get worked up over chemicals being added to their drinking water without their consent? chemicals which have not been conclusively proven to be non-toxic? chemicals which are already in toothpaste giving people the choice to use them anyway?

My counterpoints to the PEP’s arguments are (1) we’re about to run Python so we presumably have a Python parser on hand anyway; and (2) for the foreseeable future it is going to be capable of parsing all previous versions of Python.

It’s a bit fast and loose though. I can see though that it’s helpful for long term stability to have two completely separate languages for dependencies versus the actual code, with the former being far more reduced and conservative than the latter.

If you use Python4.98 triple walrus operators to say requires_version:::=“>=4.98” it would definitely be annoying for any version prior to that to not even be able to parse the requirements, let alone try to meet them.

Can't wait for App List Scopes, like we have with Contacts or Storage already. Not a day too early.

For a few months all the UK banks I have accounts in send the list of all apps to the mothership.

I noticed it first when suddenly Revolut refused to start up because I had an app installed, Natwest and Nationwide at least inform prior to the data collection, but weren't concerned.

It ended up with the long overdue confinement of all the banking apps in their dedicated profile, but I'd love to be able to confine them further.
A language is a shared way to communicate. If you start picking and choosing the parts of a language you like, you can no longer communicate effectively with the rest of its speakers, er, coders.

That's why C++ is so badly designed, you can do anything in it, so people do and no two C++ codebases are the same. Your codebase at work is written one way, the libraries it uses in another, your personal projects use something else entirely. It's a huge mess where nothing is compatible with each other and the mental load of switching between projects is untenable.

I am nitpicking this: The state of computational chemistry is not at a level to support this. I'm optimistic we'll get there eventually; need to find novel approaches, and current ones are too imprecise, or too slow.

I think the connectome aspect is more interesting, as it may be feasible to get there 100% without a computational chem breakthrough.

No - toothpaste is in part an abrasive. If it's wetter, the abrasive is less effective at removing biofilm/plaque, and the chemical components are diluted in situ. Your mouth is plenty wet enough as-is.
I think it's because we learn biology with a textbook cartoon illustration of the cell with sparse organelles floating in a clear sea of cytoplasm. The packed reality looks more like the halftime bathroom line at the Rose Bowl. Tons of heterogenous proteins and metabolites and mRNA and everything seemingly diffusing to its destination, shouldering past everything else. The sheer combinatorial complexity of the number of neighbors each molecule is imparting force on, combined with the constantly shifting conformational changes of many proteins which change the forces they receive, it's overwhelming. Recall that only recently AlphaFold was able to decently solve protein structures in isolation - add in dozens of shifting neighbors and that's suddenly a dynamic problem.

I am not sure where whole-cell simulation is at the moment since I've been away from the field for about 15 years, but I recall a rather difficult multi-month simulation that was trying to model an "empty" volume of cytoplasm away from the organelles, about 1/50th of total cell volume, and with all proteins and metabolites replaced by hard spheres of varying "stickiness". It was considered a huge success to just get a few of the diffusion rates for various compounds in the right order of magnitude. I mean, if you really want to get the fleeting interactions right you need to be modeling individual water molecules. I know there have been large advances in computing in the intervening years, but this was on I think #20 in the TOP500 at the time. Unlike AlphaGo I don't see any immediate avenue for AI to help with this because unlike protein crystal structures there is no wealth of quality training data for cellular dynamics at the molecular level.
You're just over-generalizing the problem into something you will not be able to solve by proving that a migration works for a _specific_ arbitrary state.
Can "always (or never) use parentheses for function calls" be enforced..?
I, the user.

Malicious apps sneak through the vetting process all the time.

Genuine, honest apps have to process unsafe content (be it we pages, messages) all the time.

One exploit should at most make single App vulnerable, not expose everything I have on my phone.

Strong, restrictive sandboxing, memory and execution protections are the only safe way.

And how is destroying the sandboxing related to having more rights as a consumer? You could still patch and repack them in the way Lucky Patcher does with ads, for example?
