Yeah the human element is the strictest here. BLE felt like the most "commonly available" tool we have. Another option could be manufacturing a cheap wearable.

I definitely need to do a longer/deeper dive for this project. I overlooked it in the past, thinking people don't need it. But it seems like I just dropped the ball in distribution previously.

I guess handling these nuances falls under the broader categories of internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n).

I mean, it's obviously about syncing stuff (despite the title), ok. It "simplifies the development", "shares data smoothly" and all the other nice things that everything else does (or claims to do). And I can use it to implement everything where replication of data might be useful (so, everything). Cool, but... sorry, what does it, exactly?

The biggest problem with syncing is, obviously, conflict resolution. Graft "doesn’t care about what’s inside those pages", so, obviously, it cannot solve conflicts. So if I'm using it in a note-taking app, as suggested, every unsynced change to a plain text file will result in a conflict. So, I suppose, it isn't what it's for at all, it's just a mechanism to handle replication between 2 SQLite files, when there are no conflicts between statements (so, what MySQL or Postgres do out of the box). Right? So, it will replace the standard SQLite driver in my app code to route all requests via some Graft-DB that will send my statements to external Graft instance as well as to my SQLite storage? Or what?

Yes, this could have been a ESP32 project, because that has a network stack included, but it doesn't have an LVDS LCD interface, so you're going to have to implement one or the other on any 'simple' microcontroller.

Unrestricted jus soli (extending nationality unconditionally to those born in the territory of the state, regardless of ancestry) is largely an American (as in "of the Americas", not merely "of the United States of America", though the latter is a significant reason why it is true of the former) thing, though there are a few countries outside of the Americas who do it as well.

Some more countries have restricted jus soli, extended to those born in the territory of the state only if the government judges them to be ineligible for nationality by the law of any other state, or perhaps only if the parents are actually stateless, as a way to mitigate statelessness. (And states who have adopted a rule of this type for this purpose may have done so after the UN Convention on stateless persons in 1954, and may not have applied it retroactively.)

The reply was to the parent who questioned if the typing is static. It is by way of structural typing. The compiler enforces that the ducks, so to speak, are compatible – it's just that interface{} has no constraints so all types are compatible.

> but about sync.Pool type erasing

The type isn't erased...?

    p := sync.Pool{New: func() any { return 1 }}
    fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(p.Get())) // Prints: int

BloodTrack lets users upload their lab reports (PDF or image), then uses AI to extract key markers like testosterone, cholesterol, glucose, etc. The platform tracks trends, visualizes everything in a clean dashboard, and provides insights based on historical changes.

There’s a free plan if you’re curious — and I’d love feedback from the HN community on the product, UX, or even technical stack decisions.

The US estate tax specifically got basically bigger exemptions every time it was touched (even adjusting for inflation), and returns have been falling precipitously for basically the last 25 years. If you own less than $13M at death, it does not affect you at all right now.

> The simple fact that if the US just seized all the wealth of 800+ billionaires today - it would only be worth 6.2 trillion dollars

Sure-- but I think this is a bit of a strawman. To me, and a lot of people that argue in favor of wealth/estate taxation, the purpose is not to substitute income taxes (like what Trump wants to achieve with tariffs)-- the goal is to get wealth inequality back under control, not to balance the government budget with those tax returns.

Another perspective on wealth distribution is that the top 1% own a third of the country. In my opinion, if you have enough wealth (and liquid enough wealth) to outright buy an average home at sticker price, then you are part of the problem;

I absolutely don't want to compete with people like that on the housing market, and I don't want them to extract excessive rents from people like me (i.e. not-1%ers) either, but thats exactly what happens right now.

> But there is certainly a spending problem too.

I don't really agree with this. I think (expected) government responsibilities have grown tremendously over the last century (mainly for good reason).

I'm confident in saying the the American-favored approach to healthcare ("everyone takes care of it on their own, and negotiates/pays for it by himself") has completely failed for IMO very clear reasons (demand for healthcare is inelastic and only government can force pricing transparency, prevent collusion and a generally fair provider-market in the first place-- obviously).

I'm also confident that shifting back more pension responsibilities onto citizens themselves is also a bad idea, because it creates extremely bad potential outcomes in case of an economic crash. Government providing a survivable social security baseline is just a very clearly good idea to me.

Those two points (healthcare + social security) account for the vast majority of government budget, I think they are basically a good idea, and cutting costs with foreign aid, research funding, environmental regulation/enforcement etc. has IMO neither the potential to save significantly in the first place, nor is it beneficial to do so by itself (I'd even go so far and call the whole doge initiative a thinly veiled propaganda department for the current administration).

Wow, what bad take.

Are you willfully misinterpreting the parent commenter, or would you need some help understanding it?

Assuming it's the latter, here it is.

First, there's no outrage or rage. That's something you ascribe to the parent comment, and that's unwarranted.

Second, there's no dreaming of hurting [the teacher's] family.

The message was: it is important that this person should be relieved of teaching duties, with the full understanding of the gravity of such an action, as being fired from one's job in the US puts the livelihood of the person being fired at risk.

See, the person you're responding to is empathetic, because they consider the impact of what they wish — the teacher being fired — on the teacher as well as others (the teacher's family), and don't take wishing something like that lightly.

Most people would stop at "bad job, fire him", without contemplating what it means for that person.

The parent commentor did, and is saying that, as grave as the consequences are for the teacher (and, potentially, his family, if the teacher is the sole breadwinner), it is still necessary to remove them from teaching because harm to children and violating the trust we put in instructors is unacceptable, and the damage they do in their position is far greater than the damage that would be done by firing them.

This is a compassionate and composed consideration.

Oh, and there'd be no irony about the parent's response even if they were raging, as were they not talking about the teacher's failure to control their emotions.

The issue is hurting children, which isn't something the parent commentor is doing.

Hope this helps, let me know if further explanation is necessary.

The internet brings a huge amount of people to even the smallest niches.

In porn, niche fetish content is pretty much the same price as vanilla stuff on onlyfans, clips4sale etc. There are a couple of exceptions, but when I think about it, they generally correlate to production cost rather than niche size.

Google was exceedingly generous with storage on Gmail for a reason: data. The more they give, the more to peruse.

RIP Dave, he will be sorely missed.

continue to over prescribe the most dangerous drugs to us

First it was young people killing themselves, so there was a warning put on the back of the packet and they were not to be prescribed to those under 25 years old.

yet, no one considered, maybe they did but profits were involved, the fact that those poeple over 25 years old were still killing themselves.

Even in the early days, the late 1980's and early 1990's, patients, male and female, were complaining about sexual dysfunction, denied for over 20 years. Now we have post ssri sexual dysfunction (PSSD) recognised in the DSM5.

why are our protectors still prescribing this dangerous shit?

Now we have Antidepressant medication linked to increase in risk of sudden cardiac death.

I expect a new warning to be added to the massive side effects list on the back of the packets

What - if any - are the barriers to implementing FQ-Codel or a similar scheme in forwarding ASICs? To my mind with limited knowledge managing all those separate queues sounds like it could be challenging in hardware.

Although it has the obvious limitation that you would have to be within arm's reach of it before you were to be trapped in a collapsing building, and sound can travel sufficiently under rumble.

Very useful if you can dial it in.

It is remarkable how fast the wheels of progress turn when old money faces the prospect of their assets being washed away.
