"It's a controversial and complicated idea. "

It is neither controversial nor complicated to detect some cancers by scent.

Taking the "headspace" of something is also not really complicated.

There are people who can reliably smell/detect Parkinson:

I 100% agree. They need to be much harsher and will lead to a regime change soon. But not in Russia, but in Germany (AfD), UK (Farage) and France (LePen), as predicted by Emmanuell Todd. ;-)

Trump would be happy if the UK joins the US. With Canada. And Greenland. ;-)

"There's a big difference between having something explained to you and developing expertise in it."

No, there isn't. You get things explained in University. Then you build on top of this knowledge.

"Not everything moved. Cloudflare is a US company, I still use it, and I’m at peace with that."

I am not. THe cancer of the Internet. Sometimes Cloudflare does not work abroad. It is annoying.

"Here’s the reasoning: Cloudflare sits in front of my public-facing websites. Its job is to cache, protect against DDoS attacks,"

If your host has no protection against DDoS then find a better host.

You can find very cheap CDN, if you really need them. Likely you dont.

As a word of caution, Cloudflare can have a devastating effect on SEO if you are not a paying customer and serve your stuff from your own URL. Cloudflare allows this only for paid accounts.

I found the computer in the article more interesting than the fact, that gaming is getting faster under Linux.

I hated it too because I had a shitty soldering iron. Could have used a ironing iron instead, so shitty was it.

Use this, stop complaining: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/07/29/pinecil-v2-soldering...

Pinecil RISC-V soldering iron with the Pinecil V2 featuring a new Bouffalo Lab BL706 RISC-V microcontroller with Bluetooth LE connectivity, optimizations for higher power levels, as well as tentative support for the new USB PD EPR standard (Extended Power Range) working at up to 28V.

A buddy sent me the link. Looks interesting, I am going to check it out. I am not aware it was on HN before. Maybe some people here have an opinion about it.

Most people don't know, that "prediction markets" are acutally based on an idea by DARPA in 2002, after 9/11/2001.

Why the downvote?

You can fly to the EU for 600 USD (retour), more in high season. Non business people are willing to spend 1200, 1400 USD. I assume around 2000 USD the demand will fall off significantly. At 5000 USD for economy it will be close to zero.
