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 … wer

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

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 c

100% 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 product

I found this to be an issue on YouTube. It wasn’t necessarily malicious. I often put on a no-talking video in the background while reading and the ad interruptions became really loud. I eventually just ended up subscribing, but this is grea

At some point you realize that your smallest customers generate the least value but require the most support. Shedding low value users to others makes you stronger and them weaker.

Well intentioned but hard to do. I’d posit that even if you somehow do this in a neutral way, consumer adoption will fall in three buckets: (1) largely supportive, (2) largely unsupportive, (3) ambivalent/silent majority. People who ar

This doesn’t feel like something Apple would approve of. Are you concerned about them shutting this down?

This doesn't surprise me. I grew up reading NYTimes on the weekend with my parents. I held them in extreme high regard when it came to their news and journalistic integrity. Over the years, I've shifted to think of them as another

Wasn't it Apple that was trying to get Meta to implement age verification in the first place? So, Meta is trying to get them to do it, which seems right. Why does Apple always get a free pass?

Threats exist in both trusted and untrusted environments though. This feels like a really niche use case for SSH. Exposing this more broadly could lead to set-it-and-forget-it scenarios and ultimately make someone less secure.

Have you ever tried to return something bought at a clothing store? I made that mistake once in France. You’re creating an absurd standard “repeatedly return large expensive items” but even every day things are way easier in the US.

Thank you for sharing. I have long suspected that the sequencing data isn't valuable except to law enforcement. If it were as easy to link sequencing to diseases, we would have seen a rapid advances in our ability to address those dise

TikTok feels pretty clear. China doesn't allow any western internet platforms to operate in the country. Why should the world allow a Chinese social media platform? This feels like a pretty non-partisan issue.

I’m so over PIs. I’ve replaced it with N100s and can’t say enough good thing about them. After the gouging and the supply problems, the cost was probably $10 more per project but in return, I get a more reliable and performant system.

Does it have to be or does it just have to be enough to be a deterrent to China? I wonder if the strategy behind the CHIPS act is to have enough “backup” capacity in the US that it isn’t completely vulnerable.

Banks are required to maintain financial transaction records. Is the argument that governments don't have a good reason to mandate record collection? Why can't I ask my government to keep me safe from terrorists but also expect th

How many problems in the US are due at least in part to the desire to support and promote democracy? We wouldn’t be involved / concerned with NATO unless we valued democracy and freedom for our partners, no?

This is a pretty weak case. If the FTC considered this material information, they should have asked to review it back then. If they requested it but Meta didn’t provide it, then it is an issue. However, if the FTC didn’t consider it importa
