It's the same news event, but it's not the same article. Perhaps one is written better, or is somehow more appealing to HN? Who knows. Not sure if "materially identical" would account for that.

The WSJ and Washington Post are not the same publication. These are two different articles by different authors.

I’m not sure why that would have been your experience. Decent, well-prepared green tea should have a very mild grassy flavor and aroma. Possibly, as far as the rough feeling in your throat, the tea was prepared with too hot water or steeped

A 30-day supply of Dexcom G6 sensors is 300-450 in the US without insurance, and you also need a transmitter that lasts 90 days, which is about 150. Best I've used is Costco, about $320, but I saw a cheaper price though Amazon, under $

Very interesting! Many people with T1D wonder, when they get a sensor, what a “normal” glucose chart would look like. I’ve never seen a graph for a non diabetic person. I’ve checked the glucose of friends a time or two and it’s consistently

I developed a reaction to Dexcom adhesive after a few months of use. It slowly got worse to the point where I couldn’t leave one on for more than 4-5 days and it would leave a welt that took 15 days to heal. I haven’t ever used Flonase but

Plenty of people in the US drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol despite that they could face felony charges.

Having been in the industry ~15 years, it’s true: the number of glassblowers who would be concerned about that is very small.

One of these centers existed in a city in which I lived, Duluth, Minnesota, from 1995-2005. It was a fairly big deal for a city the size of Duluth, employing 1,000 people to start and ranging up to 1,400 at the peak. A former employee start

I’ll add another reason to the list of why I wouldn’t give up my phone: mine is connected to a continuous glucose monitor, a Dexcom, making it essentially a medical device. Having my phone near me at all times isn’t remotely frivolous.

Having worked in art-related fields which involve various dangerous processes, many people are cavalier about the dangers of toxins. They do not accept that safety equipment or precautions are worth the effort, and often gauge danger by whe

My grandmother retired to a farm where she used a ton of herbicides and insecticides (endless battle agains fire ants) including DDT and who knows what else. She ended up with a Parkinson’s-like condition - supposedly not Parkinson’s, but s

To me it feels like the late 70s/early 80s and home computing software. These technologies do exist, as far as self driving cars, chatbots that answer all of your questions insightfully and correctly, and 3D printers that can manufact

Sure, that's true, but we don't know that the other stores aren't also using visual tracking and analysis. Also, it's not anonymous since they match shoppers to real world identities with store apps, wifi, shopper loyalt

One thing to note is that other retailers do that too - track people around stores with Bluetooth and I assume other methods, noting where shoppers linger, what they buy and what they hesitate on. But they don't tell us they do this.

It would be normal for an individual known for shoplifting or assault to be blacklisted. Not some associated with an unsavory individual, which can be involuntary - coworker, family member, neighbor.
