You can tell this was written with love. Regardless of what tools were used to make this, I think we could all do more of this for the people important in our lives.

they way they are going about it very much is. update your understanding.

Trying not to think about _We Stand On Guard_.

A comic book about USA invading Canada?

it is unreasonably easy to make non-refundable purchases in these games. They deserve this and every lawsuit that follows.

What a rude thing to post. Hund, don't listen to this entitled nonsense. There is a reason it's called human error. Companies 100x your size and 10000x your revenue like AWS, Microsoft, CloudFlare, CrowdStrike can't figure out how to accurately provide status dashboards. At least you took the time to explain your mistakes. If anything you got another supporter for your honesty.

Postman pulled this same stunt in 2022, limiting how many times you can run your own API class from your machine. To this day I've never reconciled with them or their product management decisions.

My grandfather was a crop duster pilot in the 60s-70s. He died of Parkinson's almost 4 years ago today. He is the only one in my family to succumb to this disease. For a brief moment I was relieved to know there was some explanation for his suffering.

Then I read the HN comments. It is beyond infuriating to read a well researched paper with 1300 open cases legal with overwhelming evidence only to be met with "zero chance this is real."

I don't think you would know a well researched paper if it bit you. Legal cases are only evidence that there is money to be made in litigation.

Why does that sound untrustworthy? Do you have any idea of what the tobacco industry hid about second hand smoke exposure? How is it somehow more plausible this nurse made up her condition than pesticide manufactures being honest about the impacts?

I don’t think the nurse is lying at all. The medical case is real. My point is that the article omitted the fact that the patient she treated had ingested a massive, lethal dose of concentrate (acute poisoning), and she was exposed to it when extracting it. The journalist used the symptoms of a suicide attempt to illustrate the risks of routine farming, which I think is misleading. It’s not about the nurse making it up... it’s about the article leaving out the context that matters most. Especially when pushing the argument that it causes Parkinson's.

My gut intuition just didn't like the framing. Now that I have read through it thoroughly, my answer is this: It's untrustworthy because it is obviously extremely selective with what it includes, omits relevant base rates, uses graphical examples out of context, and has an obvious bias and agenda. That is just one of tens of examples in the article.

Your tobacco reference can be condensed into: "Large firms are known to lie and cover up things." I agree 100%. They plainly outright lied directly AND lied by covering up. But the reaction to that is not to lie better. And by better, I mean lying by omission, juxtaposition, and framing. These are still methods of lying, just that they are harder for people to detect.

I've been calling them the N2 trials. The evidence this administration willingly shares makes one shudder to think what they are not sharing.

A thought that haunts me: a few hundred Venezuelan migrants were released from CECOT, but are there any deportees still stuck in there that we simply don’t know about? People without loved ones or a paper trail serving a hellish life sentence for a misdemeanor? If they exist, will anyone ever be able to get them out?
