go_blue_13··on The Unreasonable Math of Type 1 Diabetes
Interesting, so it really is a subscription cost as well
go_blue_13··on The Unreasonable Math of Type 1 Diabetes
well put. After swimming 10km on a empty stomach that first glass of chocolate milk and a banana were near psychedelic. Obviously not the same life threatening situation as a diabetic but I can imagine there'd be some similarity to the experiences

>A CGM can cost $400 a month

What in the world? $5k a year? How on earth are those things so expensive? 2 fully spec'd macbook pros per year? Surely they aren't that complex. Am I missing something?

go_blue_13··on Apple has a new work-from-home policy, but it’s still not what employees want
Same story in my circle, which is all young singeltons. Nobody wants to have to commute down to Cupertino multiple times per week
go_blue_13··on Why thieves love to steal catalytic converters
And you're clearly not sane enough to understand what 'murder' means either
go_blue_13··on Why thieves love to steal catalytic converters
By definition, it isn't murder
go_blue_13··on USC pushed a $115k online degree – graduates got low salaries, huge debts
Doesn't inflation mean that nominal debt is less painful to hold? ie I go $100k into debt for a degree, but 5 years down the line that $100k only has $50k buying power (in original year terms), so its easier to pay off?
go_blue_13··on Apple’s New Screen Repair Trap
All the apple stans on HN are really annoying. We get it, you love sucking off a monopolistic behemoth and respond to every criticism with "then just buy another brand".
go_blue_13··on Women earned the majority of doctoral degrees in 2020 for the 12th straight year
I think you're projecting. Not seeing a lot of 'deep concern' ITT.

go_blue_13··on Stripe banned us for payment disputes but we never had a single dispute
Do you have an issue with them reading HackerNews and responding to a relevant post? Its not feasible for the CEO of a huge company to review every support ticket, no
go_blue_13··on The Dubrovnik Interviews: Marc Andreessen
you're talking about something completely different, which is fine, but doesn't at all refute what Andreessen is saying

go_blue_13··on French lawmakers approve a ban on short domestic flights
You're missing the point of the offset market: as we exhaust the low hanging fruit of planting forests, and carbon becomes more and more expensive to offset, increasingly complex and expensive carbon capture schemes become feasible

>trans siberian railway

>edmonton to calgary

I think think there's a slight difference between the things we're comparing

go_blue_13··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
Annals of the Former World by McPhee. It's a geologic history of the United States, from Precambrian time to now, as well as a history of human understanding of geology.

The intersection of billions of years of history, a scale where ice ages come and go like thunder storms, where mountains go up and down in quick succession, with the human timescale of scientific progress, really altered my perspective on a lot of things. We didn't have plate tectonics until the 1970's. My grandfather went to high school and college learning the classical theories of orogenies, and just two generations later, a blink of an eye relative to the movements of our Earth, human understanding of what shapes our world is massively advanced.

It's made me think about every human endeavor differently. Everything we do and are is so ephemeral.

How could one possibly rule out contamination by this logic?
go_blue_13··on Sweden's cashless society is no longer a utopia
Yeah this is wrong. Bitcoin is everywhere, not just in the US, and there's no way in hell going to be a worldwide coordinated crackdown. And as long as people are running nodes, Bitcoin isn't going anywhere.

go_blue_13··on Blockchain isn't about democracy and decentralisation – it's about greed
