goblinux commented on Public health data disappeared. RestoredCDC.org is bringing it back   RestoredCDC.org... · Posted by u/lparlett

The CDC website was gutted in Jan 2025 following the Trump administration’s opening salvo of executive orders. This deprived American (and global) healthcare professionals of valuable information. There has been loss of faith in the CDC and government in general as repositories of scientific literature amongst the healthcare and scientific community, which is why sites like these have popped up

Per the about page, which is linked right at the top of restoredcdc.org:

“ We are developing code to pull CDC pages which were archived by prior to January 20, 2025. Similar archives have been created by the End of Term (https://eotarchive.org) project and are hosted by the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org). The individual pages are archived, but links between them are broken and the pages are not easy to locate through web searches. Therefore, we will re-build the links between the pages, to create a site that can be navigated the same way the pre-January 21, 2025 CDC site. The only changes we will make on these pages is to add a header that indicates that this site is not a CDC website.”

How do you fontrun orders? You can only take action after you see the order. Am I missing anything?

Michael Lewis wrote a book called Flashboys all about it. If your network speed and processing power are faster than the competitors, then you can move faster than them on any trade. Really interesting stuff

You can have a dumb phone. If you require one for 2fa. Just have one in addition for that purpose. But you can also sms 2fa on many services
goblinux · 10 months ago
The hard part with 2FA over SMS is that it's no longer considered secure [1]. I want a dumb phone too, but with all the security tools we need (password manager, 2FA apps/tokens, encrypted messaging, etc.) it's becoming less and less an option for me.

I wish there was a middle ground where I could have my phone be dumb enough to keep me from playing on it all the time, but secure enough that it makes sense for me.

goblinux commented on Ask HN: Where are all the touch-based art forms?    · Posted by u/joegibbs

I think something like yoga or dance would qualify.

If you’re exclusively looking for things where you can put your hands on stuff then maybe a petting zoo?

How do y’all avoid lawsuits and stuff? I always wonder that about Palantir and Anduril and all those other companies. Did you have to ask permission? Or is this just a run it til there’s a lawsuit because you’re in a different industry thing?
goblinux commented on Google is making a map of methane leaks for the whole world to see   businessinsider.com/googl... · Posted by u/thunderbong
goblinux · 2 years ago
This doesn't actually map methane leaks. It finds oilfield equipment and infrastructure and guesses how much it might leak and how that leak might diffuse. There's not like a special sensor to see methane from the satellite like I had originally guessed

"Maguire said the same AI technology that Google used to detect trees, crosswalks, and intersections from satellite imagery would be applied to oil and gas infrastructure. The map would be overlaid with data from MethaneSAT to shed light on the type of machinery most susceptible to leaks."

You could imagine a technically advanced society using it as a sort of penal death sentence. "You were not safe around our people, so we are sending you to the end of time."

> How do I as a passenger identified all the rebranding permutations of the Max so that I make sure my family is not flying in them?

The 737 MAX series has a better safety track record than whatever car your family drives.

Note that since the MCAS issue has been fixed, there have been zero incidents that have caused passenger injury or death.

Note further that pilots—a cohort of self-interested humans like any other—continue deciding to crew the plane. You don’t hear about pilots backing out of flights or refusing to fly in them. Pilots and air crews aren’t threatening to walk out en masse.

This plug design has been in use without incident at least since the -900ER in 2007 and prior to the MAX models. The NTSB report will be worth reading, but I will be good money it won’t have anything in it that warrants the kind of wild frothing at the mouth response here.

If you’re interested in a deeper dive, this is basically a summary of Peter Attia’s Outlive

https://peterattiamd.com/outlive/

It’s a good book, I’m currently reading it now. The premise is: if you want your later years to be healthier (as thoroughly defined in the book, but covering physical and emotional wellness), you need to start early with a long term plan

So far so good, I’m enjoying it
