hackerfromthefu··on Is early-onset cancer an emerging global epidemic?
Air pollution is in fact a big impact to shorter lifespans and many health issues.

There's also a post on HN yesterday about research into air pollution from pm2.5 particles triggering cancer.

hackerfromthefu··on Ask HN: Do you use foreign keys in relational databases?
The abstraction is great, until it breaks.

In this case, with ORMS, even good ones, this happens often enough in production that to actually master the tool you do need to care.

hackerfromthefu··on Covid: Summary of lab-origin hypothesis
Well it's not just seeming - they actually were liars, about the degree of confidence. As you said, too much time with politicians and PR professional liars!

Yes, you missed a lot then.

This is the absolute truth. The company has rotted from the top down, as is always the way.

These are interesting claims, can you provide sources and references I can investigate rather than just personal assertions?

McDonalds is the company that previously trademarked the term 'real beef' so they could mix filler in with it and still sell it as 'real beef (tm)' .. are they now that loophole has been plugged, do you think they're incapable of shaving the quality down in as many other ways as possible?

hackerfromthefu··on MIT invents $4 solar desalination device
You are pushing (incorrect) anecdotes, with a hubris of certainty.

Please provide quality references, or even some argument, to support your statement, beyond 'you said so'. 'You said so' is always a useless information-less way to communicate that I would push back on, but this is a health relevant issue, and you are spreading misinformation that is dangerous. Provide some quality references if you're right, but you're not.

That view is so myopic - loads of people buy high end non-apple laptops. I would anecdotally guess many many more than apple overall. Just seems you're lacking in awareness of it. Probably a particular social bubble you are in, combined with myopia to the rest of the world.
hackerfromthefu··on Disney says Hulu will accept political issue ads
I'm so shocked on the rare occasion I see an ad. First by the fact it's an ad on my screen, secondly by how banal and horrible they are. Closed within seconds if it ever happens.

hackerfromthefu··on Inflation Has Outpaced Wage Growth. Now It’s Cutting into Spending
You also need to address feature inflation. Governments in Australia at least keep adding 'standards' that in aggregate really increased the real cost of providing that home.

Sadly that perspective is misguided - its harder to be a trust fund investor. The evidence is right in front of you, otherwise the labourers would be doing that instead.

You keep missing important points of ops argument. maybe on purpose?

e.g. You claimed receivers would not need to 'disclose private data to a third party' but as op pointed out the receiver cannot get the DAI into the normal financial system without KYC.

hackerfromthefu··on TerraUSD crash led to vanished savings, shattered dreams
As the cost of energy rises, the energy to mine crypto rises, while the value of crypto keeps decreasing, I wonder if there's an inflection point where e.g. bitcoin just implodes and vanished because mining is losing money?
