Can someone with knowledge comment if charging a battery this way will significantly decrease its longevity? I remember reading that charging with a low current is advisable to preserve battery health.

Try consulting. Once your reach Senior Consultant level it's pretty much the end of the path for ICs.

I'm not a lawyer, but the legal claim made appears to me to be on shaky ground. In my understanding, there has to be actual damages arising out of an action. "I could have been hacked, so I had to spend time/money on it" isn't actual damages unless they were _actually_ hacked.
I imagine it would be sufficient to show that he had to spend time or money analyzing the security impact of the event.

Hey HN, want a side project idea that's easy, and would be a huge hit?
Make a web crawler that hits publicly traded tech companies careers page, once a day, and tracks how often their job listings change. Make a big line chart at the top of a landing page that compares the different companies job openings (by count), over time. Penalize listings that list/delete/re-list job openings to always make it seem like they are hiring. Maybe have a max time a job post can be open before it's no longer part of their count (3 months?)
What you'll end up showing is similar to this article: A lot of company's stock is evaluated on growth, and part of the growth estimation is based on how much they are hiring in this down market. Some companies know this, and are trying to game the system
Anyways, I bet a decent amount of people would watch that like a hawk, and the honest companies would love it because it would show how great they really are doing
If a company pays peanuts it can have a job opening for much longer than 3 months.

They are not awful if you use right tools. Welcome to the world of Spark, Apache Drill, Trino/Presto, etc.

The author does a lovely job of covering a number of the interesting ideas in this space. But reactive programming is such a tough sell. I know from experience.
I maintain a reactive, state management library that overlaps many of the same ideas discussed in this blog post. https://github.com/yahoo/bgjs
There are two things I know to be true:
1. Our library does an amazing job of addressing the difficulties that come with complex, interdependent state in interactive software. We use it extensively and daily. I'm absolutely convinced it would be useful for many people.
2. We have completely failed to convince others to even try it, despite a decent amount of effort.
Giving someone a quick "here's your problem and this is how it solves it" for reactive programming still eludes me. The challenge in selling this style of programming is that it addresses complexity. How do you quickly show someone that? Give them a simple example and they will reasonably wonder why not just do it the easy way they already understand. Give them a complex example and you've lost them.
I've read plenty of reactive blog posts and reactive library documentation sets and they all struggle with communicating the benefits.
Is it because of cognitive load? I briefly looked at your project, and I'm still not convinced that your solution is easier to comprehend than
function onLoginClick() { validateFields(); networkLogin(); updateUI(); }

I'm also confused as to how "insufficient whole grain intake" has such a high correlation. "Whole wheat flour" hasn't been the norm in the US since the late 1800s and yet we only seem to have a Type-2 Diabetes problem recently.
Any study like this needs to have an explanation for the recentness of obesity and diabetes epidemics.
