It's quite wonderful. I dissolve the paraloid B-72 in acetone (1 part B-72, 8 parts acetone), then soak the bone in the acetone for about an hour, let the bones dry, and then suddenly they're solid and strong. You can adjust how much acetone you use for how thin/thick you want the fluid. Bones are porus so I opted for a thinner solution and it worked great. It was also really cheap.

I used to work on GCP billing and this is so entirely correct and disgustingly hard to get right. The worst part is that even if you implement a way for sales to create these custom contracts down to a T, you're going to get an escalated customer ticket that hits the engineering team because the bill didn't end up how they think it should have so it's assumed to be a bug. You'll confirm this rube goldberg machine of billing state in their contract was in fact correctly implemented and that maybe they didn't negotiate what they thought they did with sales.

Yes? When you hover the first link the browser says "v1271.zip", and when you hover the second link it says "https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/archive/refs/tags/v..."

You don't even need a .zip domain to do this, just assign a misleading link i.e. [google.com](badsite.com). If the argument is going to be no one looks at the on hover link preview, then why bother even paying for a .zip domain in the first place? Going further, you can also just buy a similar domain to confuse people, which might even work better than buying the .zip since then you _might_ even catch careful people that glance at the on hover preview.

I think this is fine battle to pick, I have OneDrive uninstalled on my Windows machine, but I think it's a bit silly a lot of users on here are fine with functionally the same ad somewhere else, I don't want to be berated anywhere on any OS.

I wanted to take a look at this because given stock trades are public you'd think there'd be an ETF to track trades for the speaker of the house, but in reality it seems like people wildly overstate the profitability of their winning trades and understate their losses because "slightly underperforming the S&P 500 (SPY)" doesn't make the same headlines. In the long term, they appear to be no better off than the average portfolio picker.

From the article, it sounds like the parent's blocked testing unrelated to bloodwork and transfusions as well. Many hospitals are willing to work with strange last minute requests (to some degree), but if they were being otherwise difficult then that reduces any patience the staff has to go out of their way to accommodate anything outside of the standard procedure.

In retrospect, it might have had a better home as some option on -Z/z, or if I had the tool figure out if you were bottlenecked on bandwidth, spare compute, and your data compressed well, and apply it automatically.

The article writes: "There was no solution or advice provided after this call, just instructions to not touch the watch until he heard back from the company."

I'm honestly surprised that after the Samsung Note fiasco that Apple support is this bad on the topic. I would have expected a dedicated flow for "flagged as high battery combustion risk" from someone like them. I understand that this is a risk with these types of lithium batteries, but if a user calls support for a premium product and support doesn't immediately recognize the situation I entirely blame the company.

The concept of a 3rd party game streaming platform is another foot into the grave with Stadia shutting down, and that should be cause for alarm. I think most people in this thread can agree that the licensing model for Stadia was less than stellar, but it feels like getting favorable licensing requires being an existing behemoth (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Sony PlayStation Now, Nvidia GeForce Now) to have any chance of a AAA title being on your streaming platform. Blade filed for insolvency just last year, and has since been remarketed as Shadow.tech which functionally is just expensive Windows VMs.

A lot of people on here will happily argue that they want to own their games (Which I want too!), while also rejoicing that cloud gaming is increasing narrowing to fewer and fewer companies. Licensing is getting increasingly harder, and I'm worried at some point we'll be left with a monopoly and it'll be too late.

This is hacker news, what's the answer here for startups going forward? Is becoming a 1st party powerhouse (Like Netflix) while getting licensing agreements with as many indie games as you can (Like Epic Games?) the only option? How do you make this model succeed when you have no negotiating power? If Sony is suing Microsoft to keep Call of Duty on their platform, what chance does a startup have?

If Apple wants to advertise security and privacy, as well as enforcing App reviews, then I consider that to be enough to hold them accountable if they fail their advertised promise. Apple did not respond by removing the offending app from their store either.
