This is my concern as well, I think the preponderance of LED lighting could be causing more Myopia because of less IR and perhaps UV

I have a friend who has been saved by this and I have two funny points.

CF makes you not process food correctly so you can eat a ton of food and not gain weight. After taking this medicine he was upset because his body started processing food correctly and he put on a bunch of weight initially.

This really is a life saving cure for most general genetic versions of CF but he also remarked that it’s great they found a cure now because it’s basically a white people disease and the amount of funding it got for a cure was likely going to come under scrutiny.

Thanks for explaining something in a simple way that gets to the root of the problem. Arguing about semantics is so common.

I work at USPS and rural carriers are paid on evaluated time. While some locations don’t get many packages because Amazon has taken the load off with their own contractors, many offices have to make multiple trips because of the package load which essentially means USPS workers in those rural offices are working for free on those second trips. The package load is a real problem.

Additionally if you have Kidney disease you should take the Methyl-folate form because the generally available form of folic acid breaks down to cyanide as a byproduct.

Because if the recording goes past the clipping range for digital audio it still records the data and preserves it. 32bit recording has serious advantages because it’s much easier to record a hot input because digital clipping is not possible. You just need to pull the volume down on the recorded clip after the fact and there is no clipping.

I have a lynx hilo and it does 32 bit input. It’s incredibly nice for recording because if the input hits clipping range you can just lower the volume on the 32 bit recording after the fact and the recording is preserved. Lots of high end DACs have a 32 bit input output option because of this.

Bismuth is going to be the metal of the future, TSMC is also using it in their 1 nm process. As the uses for topological insulators make it to industry I think Bismuth is going to become a priority for companies to secure sourcing. China currently controls 75 percent of the supply.

The fact that this comment is being downvoted enough for it to have turned grey is why I never post about civil liberties on hacker news, who wants to lose karma? I guess I will do my part today and ask people to upvote reasonable posts like this so that perhaps chilling effects on speech will not increase through negative karma feedback loops.

This is a great analogy, I’m going to use this moving forward.

It may come to Windows 10 but AAC Bluetooth support with proper microphone switching is a huge upgrade. If you have Sony XM4 headphones the switch to 11 is worth it.

The problem is once you give someone arbiter powers for determining misinformation it’s going to be used on something that is factual either on accident or intentionally. Logically you can either have full free speech or you support censorship, I’m not convinced there is a workable middle ground.
