Can someone explain the waste water thing to me, because unless they’re separating it into H2 and O2 how is it possible for water to be wasted?

Its the inevitable result when you allow politics to enter a forum. It used to be posts that were overtly political were considered off-topic, but that has become more normalized. Hell ignoring this post, the top story right now is "Am

Yes exactly, if the exporter is not absorbing the cost, and the consumer is not absorbing the cost (for the most part), the importing company must be absorbing the bulk of the cost.

You are getting downvoted quite heavily but I do wonder what percentage of people are growing more and more accustomed to the latter. I say this someone who was dedicated to (neo)vim for a decade. With AI I spend a lot less time writing&#x2

How can it be possible that consumers are paying 96% of tariffs that range from 25-100%. Yet inflation has only risen by 0.5 points? Consumption would have to be less than a fifth of what it was a year ago. And why haven’t there been such e

I agree with everything you said, but the news organization's decision to include or not include a quote or speculation from someone is fundamentally a narrative choice. And every news organization makes those choices at their own disc

> most responsible outlets don’t speculate on motives until there’s some evidence of a connection That is simply not true, every single news outlet without fail speculates, uncritically quotes a speculator, or leaves out warranted critic

Technical point here but opinions are not illegal to have. Besides that your point is missing the fact that you are dealing with outside services that provide a contract for their usage (GPS, GSM). You should be free to program your own dev

Feels a lot more like the reporter already had a problem with Meta and chose the examples most favorable to their anti-Meta slant to report in the article. Of course on HN we're all just to happy to eat it up as it aligns neatly with o

Yes there are. It is well documented in other countries such as Venezuela or Argentina and some vendors even prefer cryptocurrency because compared to their national currency it is more stable. In addition, there are significant remitance a

Comments like this are snarky, shallowly dismissive, and do little to add to a discussion all of which are against HN guidelines.

Yea but he’s not exactly going around randomly punching people in the face is he? Lot of moral grandstanding in this thread. He’s a human being and he’s not perfect but some of these comments calling him a psychopath or sycophant are going

It’s modern tech sycophancy. Meaningless change that serves no one, but the ones pushing it. They get to say they did something to “fight” some sort of inequality when it’s all just performative. Worse, in the examples you gave, it draws at

Sorry, I was definitely snarky in my comments and if I could edit my comments to remove the snark and change the tone I would. However, your "It's great that you're in medical school and very aware" is very patronizing a

Since no one wants to explain and you I just got downvoted, Barry James Marshall is ironically an example of EBM and is HIMSELF an active proponent of EBM. He had a biological hypothesis that the scientific community disagreed with and test

I think you are misunderstanding a couple of things. The label for Cedarcure doesn’t have timed dosing, just says take it during the day. Furthermore this research article would actually indicate it’s better to take it in the afternoon for
