Dave Palmer’s breakdown on his side project entering production is a special treat.

Probably not, lead ions are problematic because of the absorption of lead ions as if they were calcium ions at the cellular level.

100+ 9.7 iPads,20+ iPad Pros, and about a bakers dozen of iPad Minis less less than 6 months old all have reported a 33 to 50% shorter battery life. Fucking wonderful iPadOS, same old apple bull shit.

"The Checklist Manifesto" by Dr Atul Gawande details how resistant to change Medical Professionals can be to procedure. I thought it was hyperbole until I sat in on a certification training for a hospital group and the toxic cloud of chatter about not changing anything because it didn't make a difference was jaw-dropping.

The 2 things that will make your blood boil is when the city counsel couldn't get some residents to sell their property b/c they had nowhere to go, they declared it blighted/contaminated and forced eviction into actual blighted homes.

The second is the town took on a massive loan to buy all the land it needed, it will now default. The state of WI backed the town in the loan and will now have to pay out for this nonsense.

What is interesting is that the flash may have not been visible to the naked eye, but most DSLR type camera that were used to stream the eclipse would pick it up.

Also NASA was (and currently) shutdown during the eclipse.

Spoiler Alert! Yes in the first pages there is a moon event, the rest of your comment just gives away the plot.

It's "edge" cases like this that demonstrate how complex it is for software to coordinate with chaos of real-world environments.

According to a CA State Trooper, "The state law says that upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle the driver shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in this position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer. The driver of another vehicle on a one-way roadway shall drive to the closest edge or curb and stop."

My idea would be to add an indicator light at both licence plates that indicates an autonomous control in effect.

The state should require all semi or fully vehicles have a special registration to provide an ability for LE to disable the car in an emergency or to intercept criminal activity.

My position is that industry has a long and well documented history or over inflated claims and hyperbole. The FDA exists because of the danger of claims that get made. Even recently a product was recommended to treat dogs that was like 90 proof alcohol which was toxic. So yeah I have a hang-up with naturalist stores that I feel is well justified.

Yes, I was posting this in the context of a clinical study. A good study will try to account for its controls, that was my point. The only problem is in the wide variability of the actual product to be used. There needs to be information on a manufacturer/producer and the form of the lavender oil/extract and application. Taking a bath, topical application, alcohol based mist etc..

Sorry that was just me being irritated, and not very clever.

My wife had a very stressful and painful delivery with our first. During her 3 day recovery at Kasier, our nurses provided a lavender treatment (oil on a cotton ball) to help reduce her stress and calm her heart-rate. Our nurses had provided us with a patient information sheet that Kaiser had prepared specifically for this situation.

The key here is this was a very targeted and prescribed treatment performed by trained professional staff with a lavender oil product intended for use in a hospital. Not some huckster MLM agent that selling good knows what.

I started using Site 24x7 from Zoho about a year ago for all of my apps and my clients "basic" websites.

It ended up being a great tool for me because it allows for the most basic ping test and to content checks to be setup in 10 mins. It also has the ability to add reporting based on apps, servers, and databases. The aws add-ins helped me tune my usage, as i was paying way to much for a couple services that i could downgrade with out impacting my apps.

I feel it is priced right and a good value up to the 89/month plan.

The back button wasn't broken, I didn't get a disbale adblock notification, or a pop-up when trying to close the tab. Definitely not 2018 enough /s

Long time watcher of LR, he's been calling out a$$le on their shitty behavior for awhile. The right to repair fight is going to go red hot next year. A$$le is quickly moving to refusing all repairs and bricking anything that is repaired.

The main issue is not that a$$le does this, but they do set an industry standard (e.g. killing headphone jacks to sell ear tampons). John D$$re, $ony, and a few others have been trying to do this quietly, but a$$le is starting to do it in the open now. $ chars used to avoid copyright claims against free speech.

I've watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI3Zo3Ax494 on "This Old House" years ago and it also stood out as really well designed, instead of a product looking for a problem to solve. The issue is always cost but this system seemed more on track with reality.

There was quite of bit of discussion about this last year. The goal was to activate the cold water bubble/mist field around a 1000 miles from the shore. The theory is that before the storm hits warm shallow waters that increase the strength of the storm, the cold mist could collapse the thermal convection turning a major hurricane into a tropical storm at landfall.

Note my response is NOT based on someone trying to build a wood framed house, rather it is based on someone who wants to build a massive concrete structure.

Permits and Permission. You need to understand very clearly where and what you are allowed to build. You can go bankrupt trying to develop the wrong land before a single bucket of dirt is ever moved. Neighbor lawsuits, land use restrictions, easements, building review, public notice, taxes, etc...

Of course this depends on where you want to build and if you are starting with a developed lot. An existing structure on a residential lot has crossed a lot of red tape, permits, reviews, and has underground and above ground utilities (if needed). Work with a real estate agent to find suitable lots, if you already have a lot time to visit your local building department. Get a property map, building code checklist, and a permit application paperwork. A local architect will be your next stop. Before you can go much further, you need a site plan and a survey to determine soil condition. You'll need a soil engineer to verify your site can support a massive concrete building without some exotic foundation so it won't sink (that much). Next you'll submit a draft permit to get approval and they will give you a ton more paper work or may reject it or require public review.

Finally you will need a hire a concrete building and engineering contractor. Post tension concrete and concrete buildings are a specialty. Everything needed to build a concrete structure requires experience and purpose built hardware which is seldom available to the public because it will fail if not installed correctly. Also a concrete contractor will give you your first real estimate of building costs and can identify the cost centers of your project. Never relay on an architects building estimate, they are not the ones doing the work.

A (well made i.e. realistic) video of assembly/unboxing would really highlight your value proposition. Also my first reaction is to the gaps or smoothness between planks, visually it looks like a deal killer, so maybe highlight that this isn't an issue in the top line copy or with a photo. Good Luck!

ILM would be included under Disney.

Most payroll processors handle this for you. HR and Payroll for teams under 50 should never be done in house, there are so many pitfalls. IMHO, until you can hire a full time HR person, use a company to process/collect taxes, handle on boarding paperwork, and your employee handbook. ADP, Zenefits, etc.. can provide what you need to get started. You can always go internal later on once you are setup and learn the risks. Payroll is like dental work, its best to trust a professional that isn't you.

I love refurbishing these models. You can upgrade the RAM to 16 GB ($110), Install an SSD ($150), and replace the battery ($65) in 15 mins. Your biggest hurdle is having a $1 tri-wing bit for the battery and it will run MacOS as well as any current model.

I work full time for an IT company that supports Apple products and we are in the same position. Its hard for us to recommend upgrades unless there is an hardware failure that's beyond the replacement cost. I still rock a 2012 MBP that has RAM, HDD, ODD, and ports. It can be service by removing 8 screws. IMHO it is the peak Apple Laptop. After 2012 they started being anti-consumer, anti-repair in laptop design.

Thank-you! I haven't talked to a research scientist in quite awhile. Its one of the reasons I like HN's discussion about these types of issues.

A bit off topic but have research journals become a whipping boy for the anti-science crowd? The general public is being spoon fed either very poor quality click-bait "break through/cure cancer" articles or worse. Recently the peer-reviewed != reproducible issue was highlighted. I feel there is a common thread but it could my commonality bias of an HN reader. Is attacking science journals a new trend?

Please consider the source before claims. This is become a very important step today esp. when a financial incentive exists. Aurelius Value have made or inflated other claims of this nature before and have been sued by companies for Short Seller Attacks. This fact should discount any claims or "research" they publish or assert.

This article should never have been published by Bloomberg based on Aurelius Value previous attacks. Either the Bloomberg article was auto generated from seeking alpha scrap, the reporters are incompetent, or the listed reporters have a relationship with Aurelius Value.

Now about the case:

The court filing is behind a paywall, but the case is listed as civil suit for unlawful termination. The case is NOT a criminal case nor is the case related to "smuggling a bomb" on a civilian flight. You can file anything in court. It's only a filing with a case number. There has been no judgement, trial, or any hearings listed other than it being entered into the court record. Also, there is a thing called FOIA that would backup up some of these incredible claims that a real research firm would request. So yeah it's a well planned and timed Short Sell Attack.

That was a great site. I liked the option for a colorblind readable chart, I have a few colleagues that have to use plugins and other weird gadgets differentiate red and green. Also bonus point for the CC license.

(Red Flag or Yellow Flag) This article was based on a report from Aurelius Value, about a case that was filed a month ago. Aurelius Value makes my spidey sense bullshit detector light the F up. The drone maker looks to be a solid company with a stock that is steadily growing, 1MM volume, and just had a 52 week high in the last week. If I were a unethical bastard with a mandate to manipulate a company's short term stock prices, this wouldn't be a bad target.

It's an interesting tidbit about Malware-bytes training QA staff via Udemy. Consumer Software QA is tedious, repetitive, and soul crashing task for many a entry level tech workers. A novel idea to actually encourage staff to "upskill" in position instead of having a vendor provide yet another product to replace company talent. I almost skipped this read because I thought it was another FUD article about technology being disruptive because the title is awful and not accurate.

I've used the one made by startech, $30 on Amazon. Speed is always going to be limited, but they do work. I've used it only for general IT work doing data transfer, backups or upgrades where the host system didn't work or support multiple M.2 connections.
