Man, that's crazy how sudden this car demand surge happened. I was in the market for a Model Y in February 2021 and got mine in March.

> Often, people expect to do whatever they want and then go to doctors to ‘fix’ them. It’s good for doctors, but not so great for you. Hackernews doesn't realize they are the 0.000001% of patients we see. I'd love for all my pa

I've got another anecdote about exposed information. Saw a car's 'Instagram handle' while next to them (was passenger) and got curious. Sure enough, their car's Instagram handle was public-facing and had links to th

Heavypaint is a fantastic abstract drawing tool that's fun to do while you're killing time. Here's a great example of how easy it is to get into: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL3ho4Vc7Ng )

Think about insulin pumps, cataract surgery, LASIK/PRK, or any type of surgical augmentation for disability (limb replacement or hip replacements) - we are definitely improving and upgradeable, it's only a matter of degree.

There are a few meta-analysis about snus cancer risk. I think generally the opinion [1] is that while lower than other smoke-cured tobaccos, there still exists a non-zero risk for oropharyngeal cancer risk and statistically-valid increase i

Cheaper and older alternative is the Ubiquity Unifi Security Gateway + 8 port switch + UAC AP-PRO if you don't want the Edgerouter X cost. Less customizeable but if you're buying an EdgeRouter you know what you want.

Having said that, an incidental 1 lead EKG on a wrist that can be brought up to your primary care and cardiologist at a later date is a game-changer. In clinical practice we will often use a Holter monitor (4 lead wearable EKG) to look for

Sounds like the QardioCore has a 3 lead ECG. Couldn't find too much more on that, as their website is painful at best. Holter monitor is a 12 lead ECG but with some decreased signal fidelity. This is just a single lead monitoring for r
