How much did Iran make? There’s plenty of unregulated futures markets for them to make a massive short bet on oil.

Double cheeseburger has always had and still has two slices of cheese. The McDouble (which used to be $1) always had a single slice of cheese.

The real hack was asking them to put Big Mac sauce on the McDouble. For $.30 it was pretty damn close at 1/3 the price.


If you though locking semantics over NFS were wonky, just wait till we through a remote S3 backend in the mix!

I knew a guy that would bring a steak sealed in a vac seal bag to the gym and leave it in the sauna while he worked out. One hour later he was done working out and it was ready to eat too. Not sure I can actually recommend it to others but the novelty was interesting till they nearly kicked him out of the gym.

On a recent visit to Finland I found out that basically all supermarkets sell aluminium foil bags for the purpose of cooking sausages on the sauna stove while you use the sauna.

Sounds a bit like using your dishwasher to cook your dinner - https://parallelplates.com/dishwashers-still-full-meals/

I won’t want to use my dishwasher as a sauna though /s


I think you intended to link a different article. That one’s not about cooking with your dishwasher.

If Costco had miscalculated its tariffs and was on the hook for some additional tax, they wouldn’t be passing it on retroactively. So it is not reasonable to expect any kind of refund either.

Over 50% of people have a below average understanding of statistics.

Would a fox be able to lift the wood without the hinge lock? Say if it was just tied directly without the hinge to block lifting it.

If not a fox, a raccoon can.

Here's my fun everything likes to eat chickens story. When we first built our house, nobody had ever lived within about 2 miles of our farm. There were coyotes everywhere. So I spent a couple years trapping and shooting them after they ate a couple of my chickens. Then came the racoons. They ate some chickens so back to trapping and shooting. Then weasels and minks. Except they could get into the coop through the windows in the wall that were covered in wire and 6' off the ground. So, more traps. Now it's bobcats. Oh, and don't forget the stupid red-tailed hawks and BALD FUCKING EAGLES as well. No trapping or shooting those bastards.

Everything. Everything eats chickens. I'm surprised I haven't seen a damn frog eating one of them.


I enjoyed this movie:

Similar challenges, but attempts at natural solutions (not easy, so much complexity)

If your interests run bucolic you may be interested in the upcoming 3h documentary "The Valley".

It's a super cute movie but I think it's pretty heavily dramatized. The owner is a filmmaker so it was a sort reality TV project from the beginning.

Totally enjoyable watch, but I wouldn't look for real world farming advice here.


The first week after we got chickens my wife comes to me upset and tells me one of them died overnight. Apparently it's covered in slime and neither of us knows what to make of that.

A few days later it happens again. Huh, so she asks some locals what the heck is going on. It turns out a big snake was getting in there and eating the chicken, but then he was too fat to get back out of the coop so he had to barf it up to escape.


My chickens must have been born in the Bronx, because they've cornered an opossum, bloodied coons and only one has ever "lost" to a fox.

Jesus. You bought what sounds like a beautiful place and murdered your way to a couple dozen eggs...

Proof that dogs are the smart wolves. Get domesticated, get a steady food supply for the small price of “don’t fuck with humans”.

An accurate summation of humanity over the last few thousand years.

Bloodlust makes them taste better?

Do you have a rooster to help fight the chaos?

Yes but they are usually just the first ones to get eaten. So now we keep a jersey giant to scare off the coons, and a bantam something or other to scare off the hawks/eagles.

How is a bantam helpful with eagles?

They're the only ones that seem to want to fight the eagles. They're HYPER aggressive. I don't get it.

Thanks so much, good to know. We want chickens in a place with eagle problems.

I'm not around a lot of foxes, but I imagine so: They both burrow and hunt burrowing prey, so "lift and scrape this obstacle of the way" is in their skillet.

*skillset, and now I'm imagining a much darker version of that Disney Robin-Hood cartoon.

Probably. I used to have a pet parrot that learned how to open its cage from watching me unlatch it every day.

Probably, but it'd be pretty trivial to add some weight to the door.

Maybe not $200, but $20-$50 for a cross country flight for sure.

I wouldn’t. I have literally never bought WiFi on a flight in the course of probably hundreds of flights. Good opportunity to unplug.

If a flight had in-flight Wi-Fi that cost $50 you'd pay for it? Most people I know balk at $10 even on an intercontinental flight

$10/hr for high speed internet on a flight doesn't seem that bad if you have a good use for it. A single drink can be more

This is the exact scenario I described one month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47195943

Makes you wonder if Google models how much revenue they lose specifically to this fear, because it's very real. I would simply never use GCP or Gemini because the idea of being banned from Google for absolutely any long-tail reason is a far greater cost than any benefit I could derive from those services.

>Way too risky to use Google services like this tied to your primary account.

Google has no problem correlating your accounts unless you know what you're doing and are ready to switch to the cypherpunk mode.


There is realistically no way to evade the account correlation systems that Google (likely) has.

It's not that hard actually, but separation has a maintenance/convenience cost and requires you to think before doing anything.

We're speculating here but between time correlation, browser fingerprinting and telemetry, the average user attempting to pull off a clean compartmentalisation of two accounts has no chance, even when they think they do.

I'm not speculating, but yes, ordinary users won't be able do that, that's what my warning is about.


Jeez, really gives you incentive not to use Gemini.

> Both versions were published using the compromised npm credentials of a lead axios maintainer, bypassing the project's normal GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.

Doesn’t npm mandate 2FA as of some time last year? How was that bypassed?


Apparently it's possible to create access tokens that bypass 2FA. Might've been this.

https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-access-tokens


Correct, for CI/CD systems that want to push releases.

If GitHub, gitlab, or circleci, trusted publishing is available. No access token whatsoever.
