I’m not at all familiar with the crypto space.

Are you suggesting that this is not a big deal? $6B feels like a lot but sounds like in the scheme of things it isn’t as a fraction of trading volume. Is that right?

May I propose: hritten?

“That was the last hritten novel by him. His a-level simulation took over the writing after.”

I hadn’t realized how serious infected eye drops could be.

I wear contacts and I’m surprised that there aren’t more cases of infections from lack of proper hygiene and care.

> In 2023, a major eye drop recall was called after drops … were found to be contaminated with a deadly bacteria. Overall, 81 patients were sickened, 18 suffered permanent blindness and four died.

> the drops were contaminated with the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to standard antibiotics.

I don’t doubt the premise of the article but I think the real change is the ability to do these at scale.

How prepared are organizations or households for that matter?

No, the fine print says: “Planets only. Minor planets and planetoids are not included but can be added for additional charge.”

I (personally) think this is the wrong kind of solution.

I think a better solution would to mandate that platforms offer a ranked feed and a chronological feed and make the setting sticky for users.

I think giving users the agency over how much they consume is good but mandating a “UX” pattern feels too specific.

Not to diminish his accomplishment, he attached the game boy camera to a 60inch telescope at Mount Wilson. This is a cool project but the quality of the photo is what you’d expect from a gameboy camera.

The headline seems to imply that he custom built a telescope for his gameboy.

I wonder if the cost benefit analysis would show that this is still the best policy - I.e. are more people dying because of overdose of acetaminophen than would have from “behind the counter” + controlled acquisition of codeine products.

I would also imagine that the compliance / nationwide tracking is now much easier than when the legislation was initially conceived.
