It also could be inflated due to winnings being put back into another bet. A single dollar could be accounted for multiple times if used in multiple bets.

Not that I am saying that this number is ok, gambling is a net negative on any society.

don't worry, they are built with: "very rigorous ... [areospace] engineering standards."

> But it was easy to prove warfarin was safe: a pest control officer held a series of local meetings where he ate warfarin-treated rolled oats while discussing rat control.

Got to love those live demos. Eating rat poison in front of the audience to prove it is safe!

I'm guessing you have never driven though Nevada.

I think it is a bus maybe? I can see out a window over some seats, and the overhead compartments don't really look like ones i've seen before.

That being said, that is absolutely amazing they brought a wii where ever they were going to write and debug this while traveling! That is dedication!

EDIT: nvm, there are multiple pictures of them traveling. First one looks bus like, second one look like an airplane.

Yep! I have a small setup with just some used food grade pickle buckets, and have been growing greens and things for a bit over a year. Going to get some more and expand them this year. It literally uses no power as pumps are not used, and water usage is very minimal. I live in the desert so low water usage is very important.

It's an interesting hobby, as you have to adapt it to the area you live, and where you grow the plants.

> Now they have a whole suite of successful products.

Like what? Do they have anything that actually brings in income other than advertising?

SpaceX also is Twitter(X), and Xai. So they already have several products that are loosing them money. Not sure what else they have in the pipeline other then ai data centers in space.

This seems fairly interesting. However I can’t find a link to the original 30 papers?

The link on the repo takes me to some site that wants me to “compile” papers for some reason.

Edit: nvm I found them hidden lower in the read me with a link to a different document.

I’m another happy customer. I use them to backup all of my wife’s work, and all of our personal files and pictures.

I recommend them to everyone who asks me about backups.

The utter simplicity of just having ssh and zfs as a service is killer! I can connect anything I want to it to back however I like.

And it just works.

I’ve been told that too. But I’ve done self pay for the last year, and every time I go to the hospital they instantly give me a 30% discount.

That makes me think they are artificially inflating prices so that when the insurance company negotiats their discount, well, it might be the same as what I pay

whoa.

> Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors.

How is that even allowed?

> Here’s the thing, if your core business function depends on some capability, you should own it if at all possible.

If I'm building something that allows my customers to do X, then yes I will own the software that allows my customers to do X. Makes sense.

> They’ll craft artisanal monitoring solutions while their actual business logic—the thing customers pay for—runs on someone else’s computer.

So instead I should build an artisanal hosting solution on my own hardware that I purchase and maintain? I could drop proxmox on them and go from there, or K8s, or even just bare metal and systemd scripts.

But my business isn't about any of those things, its about X. How does owning and running my own hardware get me closer to delivering on X?

No kidding. I just want one that I can use one handed again. I’m on the IPhone SE, have hands that can play an octave + 2 additional keys on a piano, and I can’t reach the whole screen with a single hand.

I’m probably just holding it wrong.

Well, there goes my week.

I have a hard time getting into games anymore, but hollow knight was one that actually kept my attention enough to finish. Super great game!

I am not the one who submitted it. But someone mentioned it last night:

I assume someone else looked it up and liked it enough to submit it.

I got a patch:

  @@ -12,6 +12,8 @@ The 90s gaming console experience was:
  
  1. Grab your game cartridge.
  
  +1.5. Blow into the cartridge slot for some reason to make the game boot on the first try. But in reality you are slowly destroying the contacts and making the problem worse.

  2. Insert cartridge into console.

  3. Turn on console.

Fixed it.

Honestly though, the experience of just turning it on and being in game was great. I had access to an NES and an SNES growing up and have a lot of great memories playing games with friends.

I had to go lookup what it was, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGA_cooker Apparently it’s a stove/range that is always on.

I think the claim about higher efficiency is due to the fact that the sea temp is stable and they don’t have to deal with algae blooms at the bottom of the ocean.

I don’t see how taking advantage of the pressure at lower depths makes much sense. The water would still need to be pumped to the surface, which I think would take as much energy as just pressurizing it.

Did I miss something?

At the time, the mocking was well deserved. I remember downloading trailers for moves over my dial-up connection. Took the entire night for 3 minutes of video. Can’t imagine paying $5k for that privilege.

Today though, the mocking doesn’t make sense and is confusing. I haven’t ever owned a TV.

Interesting. I have fungus gnat problems as well. I am going to give this a try, thanks for the tip!

Don’t worry about us. English is truly a horrible language to learn, and I feel bad for anyone who has to learn it.

Also I have always liked this humorous plan for spelling reform: https://guidetogrammar.org/grammar/twain.htm

We would probably call it a “freedom”washer though.

A post from them yesterday made it to the front of HN.

Edited to be the HN post.

I love Lua for being able to do things like this.

I was building a bunch of html pages for an htmx frontend and a golang back end, and got really exhausted from using the builtin `html/template` library in golang. I kept trying to build reusable components, and it just didn’t work as I wanted it to.

I ended up doing this exact thing as mentioned in this blog post. https://github.com/DBarney/Glua Granted this is just for me, and for prototyping. I put it on GitHub so I wouldn’t loose it.

Writing html got so much easier this way:

    local function Component(data)
     return div{"my name is", data.name}
    end

    return function(params)
      html{
        head{title="this is my page"},
        body{
          h1{"This is my small page I wrote"},
          p{
            "some content",
            "more content"
          },
          div{"page has some dynamic values",params.count},
            Component{name="daniel"}
        }
      }
    end

Edit: formatting

That is an excellent explanation of how the protocol works. Thank you for bringing it to the discussion!

If I had to guess, it would be that fermenting bananas into wine makes them taste like they were fermented.

In all seriousness though, I can’t stand overripe bananas. Bleah.

This is a small cookbook that I have used a lot. It’s designed around being able to feed a few people, and eating well, without being expensive.

I get a hard bound copy for everyone I am friends with when they go out on their own. It’s a great resource!

Whole heartedly agree.

At first I was confused by there being no images/media, but then I was delighted that got to choose which ones to load.

No auto playing videos, or obstructive ads.

Yeah I just got a video of an infant taking a bath. I have small kids my self so nothing new, but not something I would want on the internet for everyone to see. And I doubt that the mom, and now the teenager who was the kid, would want broadcast everywhere.

I think it’s meant to replicate a CRT display? I has a real hard time with those headings buzzing slightly.
