You can absolutely get shingles at any time. Please keep looking to find a doctor that will listen to you. The fact that medicine holds onto this idea that it only affects old people is absurd.

Name and shame. Which provider were you having this experience on? (If you don't mind sharing since you're no longer with them.)

China decided to subject silver to export controls similar to rare earth metals. That's one of the big reasons for the silver growth.

You think they will actually replace it with something similar though. They won't. They have no desire to do that. Even in name. Just like all their other supposed plans - it's just smoke and mirrors and no one will actually do an

Both can be (and likely are) true at the same time.

Yes, but at the same time I think NASA has long earned the trust to decide these things. Regardless of the issue, nobody wants their health issues aired to the entire world. I am personally okay just not knowing the intimate details.

IIRC, some AWS services are solely deployed on and/or entirely dependent on us-east-1. I don't recall which ones, but I very distinctly remember this coming up once.

There's no secret. This is how every single corporation operates these days. Employees chase and managers reward KPIs, real value be damned. The new game is do only what makes you look good. Anything else, bugs and all, can be a "

I'm sorry, yes, you're right. I misremembered which series I was thinking about.

This was a minor plot point in that one black mirror episode with the robots on a tourism trip to Earth, lol

Lol, not only do I not want to jump back into that pit after having already climbed out, the site is entirely infested with AI bots now. So thanks but no thanks. It's a pretty worthless site now.

Same. Only thing that ever managed to break me of my reddit habit. No 3rd party apps? Reddit may as well no longer exist as far as I'm concerned.

Oh gee aren't you cute. Costco's entire cost of doing business are covered purely by their sale of goods. The memberships are pure icing on the cake. It's not wrong to look at it this way.

by xingped 10mo ago
I see you're not terribly familiar with Costco. Membership fees account for the vast majority of net operating income for Costco and they keep markups on items at no more than 14% over cost (15% for Kirkland brand). So yes, Costco does

I gave up on using Nextcloud because every time it updated it accumulated more and more errors and there was no way I was going to use a software that I had to troubleshoot every single update. Also the defaults for pictures are apparently

Reminding me of the Mariners playoffs game a couple seasons ago that lasted 18 innings. That was bizarre to watch. I forget who they were facing. Astros I think?

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any form

I would also add that it is the easiest and best way for me to find new musicians relevant to my tastes. I literally don't know how else I would find new bands and songs to listen to. YouTube certainly doesn't cut it (although I d

Possibly. The other possibility is it puts into easy context who AST SpaceMobile is and what they do. I know I've never heard of them, so I don't see it as a dig at Starlink, it just helps me quickly generally understand who and w

For those in the now, is this heavy on disk usage? Should I install this on my disk drive or my SSD? Just want to avoid tons of disk writes on an SSD if it's unnecessary.

It amazes me that the community still tolerates the sloppy butcher that is the automated HN headline editor. An absolute embarrassment is what it is.

Well I broke it immediately, haha. Sorry about that. Apparently it doesn't like Chinese.

They did stop. I'm also confused that there's a new game.

I thought Zachtronics shut down/wasn't making any more games? Are they back? If so, why?

Seconded. Been on Firefox for years and greatly prefer my experience on Firefox both on desktop and mobile (Android) compared to any other browser.

I'll never understand why Steam Workshop didn't take off as the de facto mod delivery platform over NexusMods or other random sites. It seemed perfectly positioned to do so.

New money outcompeted old money in the economic ecosystem and new money doesn't have the same historical fear of the proletarian guillotine.

It is weird and inconsistent and I don't entirely put the blame on Chinese internet. I had the same experience but it seemed to me that problem more so was really badly written apps and services rather than the internet itself. Instead

You know what would be great? If there was an Olympics where anyone could sign up but you were only allowed to compete if you've never won an event or participated in any official competition in that sport. I'd love to see an actu
