I think the thing is that there is no official accepted value of LD50 for THC since there has never been a recorded death from THC:

> The median lethal dose (LD50) of THC has been determined in various animal species through oral administration and ranges from 800 to 9000 mg/kg. In humans, there have been no recorded instances of fatal overdoses resulting from acute THC use. However, estimates for a potentially lethal human dose range from 4 to 15 g.

The longer I go the more I have actually come to appreciate the way Packagist works for the PHP community, there are lots of cool things it does that I wish NPM or other registries did by default, like forcing you to package from a source repository, so that you can't upload a different artifact from what you keep in source control.

I've already been wanting to get rid of my Roku TVs and boxes for awhile now, they tend to be slow and buggy lately which requires ALOT of restarting.

Before Roku I spent 2005-2018 on various TiVo systems including whole house with minis and the cable-card system. Was thinking of quitting that for awhile, but the Rovi/Macrovision acquisition was definitely the writing on the wall.

Guess it's time to try an Apple TV as it seems like the only semi-premium option available.

> Laws aren’t made that way

That's basically exactly how they get made. You don't know anything about the agriculture checkoff in the US, do you?

Every single pound of pork sold or produced in the US sent a tiny amount of it's sale price to the "Pork. The Other White Meat" campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork._The_Other_White_Meat

> laws made that way usually aren’t good.

I don't think anyone said they were good laws.

Similar example Ohio legislature makes it illegal to drive with any THC of Cannabis products in the passenger compartment to crack down on people driving high, but there is nothing to prevent you driving with an open bottle of prescription opiates or benzos and popping those while you drive.

Well the fun things is that no one knows how much traffic of what kind they are getting when they use Cloudflare.

You get the numbers that Cloudflare tells you, but who knows if you can trust their stats after their CEO is apparently cherry-picking data to shape their product narrative?

Do people really expect CEOs to be knowledgeable about any technically details in 2026? My experience is that CEOs are getting increasingly out of touch with what their employees actually do and what their customers want.

Thanks for answering, this makes tons of sense

Is this an open sourcing of something they use internally? My first thought on durable jobs was GHA aka Azure Devops.

Did you know that Facebook actually has a message styled with color and different font sizes that pops up in the browser console when you open the inspector for Facebook.com with instruction not to paste things you're told to paste there, with a link to https://www.facebook.com/selfxss for more information?

I know this is Hacker News and supposed to be serious and all, but do you really think the people running Meta are capable of embarrassment at this point?

Why does X make sense? It makes no sense at all to me. X is the least logical place to put it.

Page 8 shows yield of irrigated wheat YIELD TRENDS. I'm not saying it never ever ever happens, but it is far from a common practice. Are you seriously asserting that is more common than not to irrigate wheat in Kansas? Are you asserting that there is a greater than 50% change that any randomly chosen wheat acreage in Kansas is irrigated???

My name is not even remotely hard to figure out, you should be able to leverage that plus some basic info into my home address via voting records in a matter of minutes. DOB might require some sleuthing, but it's not terrible hard to find for many people (often from socials).

At least in US culture, DOB isn't really considered super secret. (If it is I have an excellent source of secret info called "Wikipedia")

Oakwood in Montgomery county is addressed as Dayton on all mail until you get to Kettering which has it's own name for addressing.

A quick search shows that Oakwood in Paulding County has it's own PO and zip code 45873 and Oakwood, Cuyahoga County has 44146.

I suspect that the postal service is much more forgiving on duplicate town names since the advent of zip codes.

This comes up with school districts too. My home county in rural Ohio had a school district administration that oversaw all the schools in the county but there are two 'exempted' school districts. One is a town that is split between two counties, so the school district would fall in two counties. Hence it is "exempted" from both and the official name is "<TOWN NAME> Exempted Village Schools". The other one if the largest town in the county, which due to it's size voted to exempt itself from the services and administration of the county government, presumably since this single school has as many students as the rest of the county combined.

Sadly Portland OR eliminated one of my favorites by introducing "South Portland" and eliminating significant leading zeros from address numbers.

No, historically the US postal service would make anyone who couldn't claim they had the name first change it. I grew up in a small town in rural OH that had to do this in it's history since the name they chose was already in use by another village/town in the state.

My name, and the very fact that I exist are vectors for identity theft. But that doesn't mean I should keep those facts secret either, or that simply attempting to keep them secret will have any effect whatsoever.
