Completely misleading headline. Is the Daily Mail a reliable source?

"The team at Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit health and environmental advocacy organization, noted that the remaining 80 percent of products were not deemed inherently dangerous.

Instead, they failed to meet EWG's standards because they contained ingredients of concern, offered insufficient UVA protection, used spray formulations or made protection claims the group believes are misleading."

Wow, until you posted this I thought Moog was just a synthesizer company. And a bit of an odd one at that based on how I saw that synth presented.

The comments here are trending towards "There's nothing new here, I could design 5g radio chips with a cheap linux box running FTP".

Does it need to be magical to be interesting or useful?

This is what I see for my state: "The average salary for a Registered Nurse in Colorado with 25 years of experience ranges from $115,000 to over $140,000 annually".

A dev with the same experience I think is at least 50% more than this.

Tech workers are lucky that for many of us this is possible. You don't see "older nurses are tapping out early" because financially they can't.

> Somehow hardware giants like Dell, HP, SuperMicro, etc didn't make a product like this, even at their peak in 2000s or during cloud boom in 2010s. I wonder why?

They all did. HP had Super Dome and blades and Synergy. Dell had similar.

From a legal and financial perspective it seems like it would be difficult to pay people to do interview homework. There's tax implications and other issues like state labor laws.

I would argue that these are products and companies want people to use them. Like it or not, a model that disagrees with some fundamental core of your beliefs will make you much less likely to use it. To me it's the same problem with LLMs just being overly agreeable. The general public doesn't want tools that argue with them.

This looks like a customer data leak and not a vault leak? Still an issue but not a reason to go rotate every password - or am I misreading?

There's no guarantee in any job that you won't be laid off.

My son is susceptible to these type of infections and has asthma. He missed 17 days of school last year. Even if not fatal these types of infections are miserable and have an impact on those who get them and their caretakers.

I didn't see any mention of K2 (or missed it) - but a lot of D supplements combine with K2 as a "traffic cop" to keep calcium in bones and not arteries. I've not found a ton of evidence on this either, but seems to be a popular combination.

The economics of AI fall apart if you stay with the old model forever. No need to buy new GPUs or build new data centers.

A practice which apparently is illegal in Seattle:

"The complaint accuses Amazon of violating a Seattle ordinance that prohibits companies from discriminating against employees for their political ideology, race, religion and age, among other things."

Wonder how this will go.

The US President has no legal means to give every American stock - and even if he did, then what? What good is my 1 share of OpenAI going to do me?

This feels very 1999.
