As a side note/additional area to explore, some antibiotics do also have anti-inflammatory effects

Re:Z-library founders arrested in Argentina on Thursday November 17, 2022 @05:24AM (#33637030)
Imagine the person who cannot afford a book or paper on a particular topic. Should they not have access to the information?

I agree, as always there is nuance, but zlib et al fulfill a need for certain people. In b4 public libraries, they aren't equal around the world, depend on geographic proximity and add latency to the learning process.

Higher highs but also much lower lows in the US and much easier to climb up or fall down.

Those sure are a lot of predictions stated as fact.

Re:Ask HN: How do small companies do recruitment? on Thursday January 27, 2022 @06:28AM (#30099141)
Have found DMs on Twitter to be high ROI. Recruiters in the UK can be hit or miss as it's such a low barrier of entry job. Some out there that really are worth their weight in gold and others out there that give them all a bad name.
If you like history and stories like this you'll probably also enjoy "Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54900051-madhouse-at-the...)

A 1897 expedition that ends up wintering (stuck floating in the ice) in a time just before radio communication.

If anyone understands the reasoning behind the US capping your deductible net capital loss in any tax year at $3,000 vs allowing your full capital losses to be offset I'd be interested.
Re:Stock Market Returns Are Anything but Average on Friday May 07, 2021 @12:56PM (#27078043)
Thanks, interesting. I will of course now 1-up and use a double 00 prefix on any publicly posted dates.
Re:Stock Market Returns Are Anything but Average on Friday April 30, 2021 @11:42AM (#26994901)
OT: why do you prefix the year with a 0?
On the included estimations of the frequency that this occurs. I scraped a collection of (mainly developer) public keys for a previous project and got the following numbers.

  sqlite> select count(*) from keys;
  1627715
Quite a difference between the ratio of 2047/2048 bit keys and 1023/1024 bit keys.

  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2048";
  936441
  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2047";
  466

  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "1024";
  39068
  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "1023";
  5908
Interestingly also:

  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2049";
  13
  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2050";
  5
  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2051";
  1
  sqlite> select count(*) from keys where strength = "2052";
  0
You can sign up for an N26 account via smartphone app and then use this (unofficial) python library https://github.com/femueller/python-n26

I fully agree with you though, the Open Banking outcome in reality almost looks like a joke. I only found the above as I was searching for a while to find a way to do this that didn't involve building my own screen scrapers to implement.

There are banking offerings in the UK with official APIs however you are looking at £200/month+ in costs.

I owe you many thanks, your guide helped me exploit a bug on a bug bounty years ago and then helped me get my first security job.
