Well, in many countries, pharmacies just dispense prepackaged packs and bottles. No counting involved.
If you want to see what the side effects look like, look at ex Senator Ben Sasse: https://youtu.be/7CFo6-6BN9k?si=2B3dqB4rOhAnPiZl

It’s never that easy. Some pathogens are very difficult to culture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#:~:text=availab...
So I'm not alone who knows about this series.

I concur. I miss citc & fig.
The latter. Like is it a public ID, an IP, user input, ssn, phone number, lat/long…

Very useful for any scenario where you output the proto, like logs, etc…

I mean it could also have been a sound stage in Hollywood /s
The only thing I want is to be able to play totk without horrific fps drops. That’s all
Re:Touchscreens are out, and tactile controls are back on Sunday November 03, 2024 @02:41PM (#42035564)
I vividly remember a discussion with designer colleague in the early 2010s that used to work at BMW. They convinced me that touch buttons in car were awful.

They totally knew.

Well, Google already distribute hardware to various ISP - it's called GGC (https://www.gstatic.com/isp/docs/ggc-installation.pdf?sjid=5...).

We (GSA) & GGC used to source our hardware from the same supplier (Dell).

Well that's fun. I was the TL of the GSA platform team and you are mostly spot on. You are missing the whole crawling/indexing & security parts though. the GWS on the GSA was, tbh, one of the simplest component.

Each GSA had a set of unique BIOS/root password generated during bootstrap though.

What makes Disney comics singular is that a lot of them are authored by European artists and have the distinct BD style. For instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Duck_in_comics goes over this a bit.

Also Picsou Magazine > Journal de Mickey. There I said it.

Sam Aronow is great if you are interested in Jewish history.
I think it makes sense for existing restaurants with a large takeout business to operate from a separate kitchen. But it needs to be a similar menu and same quality. I’m not going to pick a random pizza place because it has an Italian sounding name. I will either order from a usual place or do a bit of research before ordering something special.
Re:My toddler loves planes, so I built her a radar on Monday November 27, 2023 @05:26PM (#38439322)
There's a really cool setup at CuriOdyssey in San Mateo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16vZjWb5n6E&t=1s

My son can spend hours just waiting for planes landing in SFO.

Basically. It’s very unlikely any mRNA would survive intact in the stomach.

Last Flexport jobs posting on HN was 19 days ago.
It feels that there are fundamental political and cultural issues with English speaking countries (common law?).
+1 the comparisons are not great. How much engineer-hours did it take to build Rama itself?

The numbers they got for Twitter likely include the time it took to build their infrastructure, common libraries (like finagle,…)

Would love an invite too. [HN user name]@gmail.com

My wife is surprised by the fascination with donald and scrooge comics Europeans have.

Let's not forget the Donald Duck comics from Italy. They were huge in France.

The problem is that Twitter, reddit, and other social platforms are mostly read, not posted to.

FYI, you can temporarily disable keyless entry on Toyotas fairly easily:

Hold down the lock button Hit the unlock button twice

Lost 2 Twitter worth since Musk took over.
The article specifically refers to the free edu versions of office and workspace. What about the paid ones?
