For anyone from the US reading this just throw it out… we eat significantly less healthy and have significantly more obesity. Sweden as a country is significantly more healthy and active. To everyone reading this and thinking that this applies is sorely mistaken.
Fitness might not “extend your life many years” but being morbidly obese will most certainly end it significantly early.
How does this not trigger an immediate investigation of this guy… he might not be wrong about approving it… but I would want to be dang sure he is not getting a kickback or some other misc benefit.
There appears to be a new phenomenon where patient advocacy groups are able to pressure the FDA into approving medications for conditions with no existing treatment (I found out about this when reading the fact sheet that came with a medication that kept stating it had no statistically significant effect for the thing it had been prescribed for - as to why my doctor even prescribed it is another story). The people providing this pressure are either stock puppets or just desperate for hope, but either way the fact that the FDA will ever cave like this is horrendous.
Love how all the initial comments on this are about how these parents are going to massively influence their children’s future by not _making_ them do multiple “extracurriculars”… TBH YOU ARE THE PROBLEM-> gamification of their life is what is causing all of this strife.
Not everyone needs to be a 10X-er (to use a HN favorite term) honestly I would much rather work with 2x-5x engineers that went to a regular school than the unfortunate ones who have had their whole lives gamified for some social credit game played by their parents. Im not saying that there isn’t value in Ivy League but the games being played to get people in and this idea that it will == successful life is at best a marketing strategy…
To me, this is hard to understand. There used to be a saying “right tool for the right job” and I’m sure when Ford released the model T lots of people said “horses can do X while automobiles can not”
This is a step … where basically 9 months out of the year there is no emissions in the city and the trucks are effectively the same 1:1 replacement.
I also understand that this is a much harder article to write “the city got away with using the wrong tool for the job for years and now has to address the problem they created” (this cuts both ways). It probably seemed like a win win at the time but now a solution will need to be engineered to solve it… im also sure having a hybrid fleet (some ICE and some EV) will be great for times of increased demand and having backups when something breaks…
Ghost is self-hostable, and you should be able to get a VPS matching the system requirements for $5/mo unless you get properly popular so need more hosting umph.
Though Ghost would be overkill for a really simple blog, despite its staring point as intending to be just enough tech to host content well (a reaction to what WordPress has/had become).
The problem starts when ads are significantly louder than the rest of the content in order to be an "ear catcher"..... Now radio is much better than other forms of media (looking at you cable... and now some streaming services that are on the take from both sides) but its also the fact that ads have become steadily more intrusive over the last decade(+).
My real hope is that there is a movement back to "sponsored content" and more subtle ads... with less ads overall.... i.e "this hour is sponsored by <insert Brand>, check them out on <insert text>". This is probably never going to happen as there is now a constant need to sell and more expensive ads does push out smaller businesses.
Not sure there is really an answer here but I think moderation can help here
> i.e "this hour is sponsored by <insert Brand>...
Commercial station KRKQ in Telluride, CO, does this, and it sounds amazing.
WDRE (now WPTY), WLIR-FM and WBON on Long Island, NY, tried it in 2005, and it did not generate the revenue they were expecting. But it's 17 years later-- I think they were trying an idea that was ahead of it's time.
This is anti trust because it’s probably in violation of the sherman act and price fixing.
The anti trust laws are designed to prevent monopolies and promote competition… as Amazon is acting as the market here and simultaneously fixing prices and discouraging competition with them thats a no-no
When an article starts out with an capricious question “ Could this Sensor Kill Standalone Cameras Completely?” The answer is always A big NO… furthermore technology advances they are bringing dual pixel af, which cannon has had for years. This is expected progress and its not replacing dedicated cameras any time soon…
Well, depending on the definition of completely. Clearly cell phones have had a large impact on stand alone camera. Larger sensor, better autofocus, better low light photography, etc are going to further swing the market towards cell phones and make it harder for stand alone cameras to fund the next generation R&D on ever lower volumes.
Seems like Samsung is going after Sony, which was the go to sensor for many platforms. I've heard they signed some $900M deal with Tesla for improved sensors and they seem to be making inroads into cellphones as well.
Can anyone compare the specs on this sensor to whatever the current Sony sensor is?
In this case, as a photographer, I think the answer is YES, for most of people a smartphone is enough, absolutely it will not replace a EVIL camera with FF sensor for the amateur photographer but this is only a small fraction of the market.
For the future I see the "pro cameras" that will use larger sensore (larger than FF), more machine learning and connected features etc... but those cameras will be only a small fraction of the market, 80/85% will be cameras inside of the smartphone with a lot, a lot of machine learning on the photos, less user interaction of more computational photography.
That animation is pretty cool, never seen it on that level before. I knew that soap ate through (destroyed) the lipid layers and that’s why it’s such an effective disinfectant (as almost everything has a fatty lipid layer to protect/contain the internals).
