BTC has ~26% less purchasing power than it had at the beginning of 2026. I’m not sure its volatility is a win.

Article claims OpenAI found this in February, but I don’t think that’s correct. I think Google made a change to the Brotli source code in February that fixes the issue, but hadn’t realized it was a security issue and therefore hadn’t cut a release.

Between November 2024 and January 2025, I visited liver surgeons at 4 different hospitals in 4 different states and got 3 different opinions on what was the correct next step for my cancer treatment.

I think it is more disconnected in thinking people want to understand the mechanism. As a stage IV cancer patient, I’ve met many people who decide not to continue treatment with approved drugs due to side effects. The notion that every cancer patient will do everything possible to stay alive isn’t true. Most people have a breaking point.

You should be concerned if you have 100+ psi water pressure. Anything above 70 is atypical for a residence.

Better for both sides. They clearly have different visions for what an OS should do.

why would that be important? Having a typescript compiler in wasm seems like a pretty niche need.

> you can't contribute map data that requires attribution to OSM

That’s not true.
