Elinvyniaon Legal win

OSI was literally started by the leeching megacorps (look at their list of sponsors this is not some grand conspiracy) to shame people away from creating more fair licenses.

They are already angry enough that they had to consider AGPL as open source because it meets all their criteria.

Elinvyniaon We moved from AWS to Hetzner, saved 90%, kept ISO 27001 with Ansible

70k? Just hire in Poland/Czechia/Slovakia for 50% off!

Unless by Europe you mean the Apple feature availability special of UK/Germany/France/Spain/Italy

Elinvyniaon Sleep apnea pill shows striking success in large clinical trial

Not every case of sleep apnea is obstructive. With central sleep apnea no amount of weight loss, surgery and repositioning will fix the problem.

Elinvyniaon At Amazon, some coders say their jobs have begun to resemble warehouse work

For anyone downvoting this: look into how many people are currently infected. Compare that to early 2020.

Yes, the people who were prone to dying already did so years ago. But the rate of long term disability in every single country is skyrocketing.

The average person has had 4.7 covid infections by now. Now look into the literal thousands of studies of long term effects of that.

Future generations will never forgive us for throwing them under the bus.

Elinvyniaon Weight-loss drug found to shrink muscle in mice, human cells

Gastroparesis is literally the method of action of GLP1 agonists. It slows gastric motility. Gastroparesis is literally slowed motility of the stomach (where 20% of food stays in your stomach after 4 hours). It doesn't matter why, that is the literal diagnostic criteria, ergo it literally causes gastroparesis.

Elinvyniaon Scientific American's departing editor and the politicization of science

I'm sure the brain damage that COVID still causes (there are 3x more cases this year than in 2020, fun fact) is more of a danger to kids than staying home.

Elinvyniaon Waymo One is now open to all in Los Angeles

It's like people forgot about the Amazon stores being an army of cheaply paid third world labour disguised as revolutionary technology.

Elinvyniaon Linux on Apple Silicon with Alyssa Rosenzweig [audio]

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42014188

Well, you just didn't look hard enough, this is from literally the last thread about Asahi before this one. Pretty much every single post about Asahi Linux on HN has transphobic comments.

Elinvyniaon Winamp deletes entire GitHub source code repo after a rocky few weeks

Ah yes the totally unbiased OSD made by companies wanting to exploit free labor like Amazon.

I dislike prescriptivist language. I will continue calling things open source whenever I can see the source code, no matter the license.

Elinvyniaon Life expectancy rise in rich countries slows down: took 30 years to prove

There really is no natural solution if you are taking medication that increases your weight. Kinda disproving your own example there.

Elinvyniaon 1 bug, $50k in bounties, a Zendesk backdoor

To be fair, his name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry

Elinvyniaon AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux

Ask a random user of this site their opinion on trans rights and watch the masks drop.

Elinvyniaon Research in psychology: are we learning anything?

"Just one more therapist bro" is what defenders of modern psychology use. It is always your fault the therapist didn't work out. Always your fault you aren't trying hard enough. There can never be systemic issues.

Elinvyniaon Don't squander public trust on bullshit

There was more covid this summer than any summer before. Millions are disabled with long covid. The severity of an infection has barely anything do with outcomes.

Elinvyniaon Don't build your castle in other people's kingdoms (2021)

LinusTechTips literally built their own video hosting site - Floatplane - exactly for this reason, to have a backup in case YouTube nukes their channel.

Elinvyniaon Legalizing sports gambling was a mistake

Libertarian != Liberal

Elinvyniaon Scientists who laid groundwork for weight-loss drugs win Lasker medical award

They literally temporary induce gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying), that is why some people may vomit food they ate 2-3 days ago.

Fun fact: this side effect can become permanent, even if you stop taking the drug!

Elinvyniaon Working in the office 5 days/week to build company culture is a myth: PwC report

If you had COVID (which you definitely had) you are now immune compromised. You can test your cell immunity to see this (CD3+CD4- and such). I had AIDS-level immunity after my infection. This resolves within 2 years, usually, unless you are constantly getting reinfected due to this lower immunity and not taking any precautions like masking.

Elinvyniaon Consent-O-Matic – automatically fills ubiquitous pop-ups with your preferences

That is false, you only consent by your explicit action - clicking "accept". If you inspect element and remove the consent popup entirely, you have not consented.

Elinvyniaon Twitter kills its San Francisco headquarters, will relocate to South Bay

Let me be the first one then - I am fully content on living in a 40-60m2 space with my partner and two cats. Considering we never lived in anything bigger this size is perfect for us, easy to clean and still enough space to live.

Elinvyniaon Scientists discover a cause of lupus, possible way to reverse it

RECOVER is the biggest scam when it comes to research unfortunately. 90% of their studies are focusing on various form of "brain exercises", CBT therapy and exercise therapy. Things that are not only proven to not work, but actually proven to harm people with ME/CFS (of which long covid patients make up a large amount).

Elinvyniaon The saddest "Just Ship It" story ever (2020)

Make the company 100 millions and you are lucky to see more than 10k of it.

If you believe otherwise I would question your real life experience.

Elinvyniaon 'Skinny jabs': weight-loss drugs set for new boom as generic versions emerge

Closer to chemically induced gastroparesis. As someone with this condition I find it baffling that anybody would do it to themselves voluntarily. Not to mention the risk of it being a permanent side effect.

Elinvyniaon FDA warns top U.S. bakery not to claim foods contain allergens when they don't

Then you should hope to never become mobility impaired :)

Remember, we are all just temporarily abled and one accident away from needing accomodation from society.

Elinvyniaon First-in-human implantation of bionic device to halt Crohn's disease (2023)

For most people work is equal to stress. They need to work to have money to live. Unless you are willing to pay for this person's existence, it is rude to suggest to "just have less stress", essentially equal to victim blaming.

Elinvyniaon Selfish reasons to want more humans

To be fair, suicide is illegal pretty much everywhere.

Elinvyniaon Harvard gutted team examining Facebook Files following $500M Zuckerberg donation

What happened to the comments? There was almost a thousand yesterday evening when this was posted.

Elinvyniaon A four year plan for async Rust

The problem is that a large number of popular libraries has converted to async, 95+% of them to Tokio.

So you are stuck with smaller, less battle tested products if you'd rather not pull in 100+ crates of dependencies that are doing nothing but inflating the build times and file sizes (for your particular usecase).

Example: reqwest vs ureq

Elinvyniaon The $205.4B Gulag

Especially if it concerns meat!

Elinvyniaon FTX owned an $11.5M stake in a tiny rural bank in Washington state

Meanwhile a murder suspect gets to spend these gathering years in jail awaiting trial...
