massage chair recc?

did you bring a parachute?

idk how the hackernews community feels about this stuff but..

this is the usual oecd “gender equality is good for gdp” framing, which is fine as far as it goes, but it still treats care work like some side issue instead of the foundation of the whole labor market. if you actually want equality, stop acting like childcare, eldercare, parental leave, and wage suppression are just personal choices. they’re baked into the system.

and things like pay transparency or getting more women into leadership aren’t enough if the system still rewards overwork, instability, and unpaid labor at home. the real fix would mean socializing care, shortening the workweek, and not tying basic survival to having a job.

thought it was pretty cool. then it balanced on one leg. insane.

my god he's an oracle

holy shit

Statement from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

Plenty of quotes from anti-mine residents. Not one from a pro-mine voter.

These are from the company.

“We're pleased that Hood County voters saw through the sham incorporation effort and rejected it at the ballot box,” a spokesperson for MARA said.

“As we've said from the start, this was an unlawful attempt to weaponize municipal incorporation against law-abiding businesses like MARA.”

“We remain focused on creating jobs, supporting local communities, and being a responsible neighbor.”

The story otherwise paraphrases general sentiment (e.g., people moved there to avoid city regulations)

there's an abundance of evidence of torture

bringing down the murder rate doesn't excuse the torture of innocent people (or anyone for that matter)

SerpApi wouldn't even be a thing if Google offered an equivalent API...

interesting.. this could make training much faster if there’s a universal low dimensional space that models naturally converge into, since you could initialize or constrain training inside that space instead of spending massive compute rediscovering it from scratch every time

Only if they change the name several times only to revert back to the original

This mayor represents more people than many state governors

The Republicans in the Whitehouse told them to vote Cuomo

It's so hard finding dubbed anime WITH subtitles. Like actually ridiculously hard.

My wife is deaf and I like dubbed so I can use my laptop while we chill but she literally needs subtitles so it's super annoying when a show either

1. Has no subtitles for dubbed.

2. Their subtitles are just the subbed version's subtitles which are drastically different from what the dubbed VAs are actually saying.

3. Has subtitles for some episodes but none for others seemingly randomly.

Very interesting thanks for sharing!

Very well could be a placebo

Anecdotal but when I'm sick I double my vit C and D intake which typically helps me.

You’re absolutely right! This has AI energy written all over it — polished sentences, perfect grammar, and just the right amount of “I read the entire internet” vibes! But hey, at least it’s trying to sound friendly, right?

You’re describing a narrow, short-run, partial-equilibrium effect. In the real world, general-equilibrium effects swamp it:

Cut low-wage immigration and you don’t just raise some hourly rates. You also shrink output, kill complementary jobs, and push prices up for everyone, which erodes those wage gains. The National Academies’ comprehensive review finds immigration’s impact on native wages is small overall and often positive for some groups, with clear long-run growth benefits. https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23550/the-economic...

Classic natural-experiment evidence like the Mariel Boatlift shows big low-skill inflows had essentially no hit to local low-skill wages. Labor markets adjust. https://davidcard.berkeley.edu/papers/mariel-impact.pdf

Meta-work by Peri and coauthors show across many settings, native wage effects are near zero, while immigration raises productivity and lets natives move up the job ladder. https://giovanniperi.ucdavis.edu/uploads/5/6/8/2/56826033/pe...

Recent CBO work attributes stronger labor-force growth and higher GDP to immigration. Reverse that and you get slower growth and upward price pressure that cancels your “clear” wage story. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60569

So yes, if you freeze the rest of the economy in place, fewer workers can bid up some wages. Once you allow demand, complementarities, and prices to move, the simple “less supply → higher pay” slogan stops matching the data.

Yeah no.

Immigration’s impact on wages, especially in the long term, is not as straightforward as “less supply → higher pay.” Multiple studies from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences and leading labor economists find that immigration has only small effects on native-born workers’ wages, and in most cases boost overall wage growth by fueling demand, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Restricting immigration might reduce competition in some low-skill job markets, but it can also harm industries that rely on labor shortages being filled, push up costs for consumers, and slow economic growth, which in the longer run counteracts any wage gains.

I did this for a couple days when Comcast's DNS was fucking up when I moved into a new place and was stuck with their modem/router/AP for a bit (which was locked to like 6.6.6.6 or whatever it was).

Tried explaining it to several customer support techs but they all just gave up eventually.

Was fixed when I ended up getting my own modem and router/AP.

But those were an interesting few days. My partner was annoyed they couldn't use Pinterest but YouTube loaded fine. Google search worked but our local pizza joint's site didn't.

Ivermectin has a surprisingly interesting origin, it was discovered in soil near a Japanese golf course and developed from a bacterium that kills parasites. It went on to treat diseases like river blindness and became widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. Despite all that, it’s definitely not some miracle drug or cure-all like some would have you believe. Though that didn’t stop my grandpa from stockpiling it after watching too many Fox News ads.

I mean by that logic wouldn't the cheap house just cost even less? What about housing prevents it from being a race to the bottom like every other product?

Like yes a nice pair of boots costs more and you do get more value out of them compared to Amazon basics boots.. but far more people end up buying the cheap option because it's cheap and available.
