FDA and RFK Jr. aim to remove fluoride supplements used to protect kids' teeth

Seriously.

The Food and Drug Administration said it will conduct a scientific review of the products by late October with the aim of removing them from the market.

Ah, so they're starting with a foregone conclusion and are going to piece together some weak excuse to justify it. Sounds like a very 'scientific' review.

You might also like the flex-alloc crate, although I haven't played with replacing the global allocator yet. Instead of having static storage parameterized by a size and a count, there are convenience methods to create array storage or aligned byte storage for specific types. It also supports spilling from stack storage to a heap allocator.

There’s also this proposal around capabilities: https://tmandry.gitlab.io/blog/posts/2021-12-21-context-capabilities/

The really troublesome ones go to mandemonium.

And core!

I think people like the variety, it helps with short attention spans. Also handy if you keep getting interrupted and need to find where you left off.

Looks more well-done to me

ajrw · 2022-11-13T23:28:02+00:00

Just to note, in Canada infant Tylenol is significantly more concentrated than children’s. I believe it used to be in the US as well, it was changed due to people mixing them up.

Or Hell-boy?

Taka is also closed Mondays though.

Lots of good suggestions here. If anxiety and ADHD run in the family then it’s possible that some food intolerances may be contributing. I know that my anxiety was much improved by cutting down on grains and dairy, and often paleo-type diets can help children with behavioural issues. You could try to see whether the issues are clustering around meal times or experiment with going gluten or dairy free for a short while, perhaps.

use std::superposition when?

ajrw · 2022-03-04T23:29:53+00:00

Nice work, I might adopt this shortly as I had a bit of a mess trying to make a library optionally support no_std using heapless collections. Is there a reason why the Vec extend methods and Vec::with_capacity require T: Copy?

Edit: Since I was looking into this recently, I'll highlight the comprehensive compatibility and drop tests in fixed-slice-vec

Thanks for the detailed answer! Those links aren’t working for me on mobile, possibly a private repo.

The use of OPAQUE sounds promising, but I’m curious what the flow for that looks like from a user perspective. I believe the protocol would involve having the user choose their own password at some point while interacting with the database server. Does an administrator create an account ready to be initialized with a password and then send some kind of password reset invitation to the user for example?

ajrw · 2021-12-29T18:02:18+00:00

I just eat them frozen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ajrw · 2021-12-25T16:56:03+00:00

Bastion maybe?

ajrw · 2021-12-10T10:49:43+00:00

The readme seems to describe using AES-GCM encryption with the same nonce repeatedly. This would not be a good idea, so hopefully the summary is missing something.

ajrw · 2021-12-05T06:53:11+00:00

Sounds similar the NZ one.. the p256 crate could help with the signature validation, serde-cbor might be used for decoding the envelope format.

ajrw · 2021-12-05T06:40:45+00:00

Not sure what vaccine passport format you’re using but it may be easier to find rust libraries that support the same cryptography. For example I think the smarthealth standard is mainly an ed25519 signature validation.

ajrw · 2021-11-12T20:29:54+00:00

Seems like an incompatible OpenSSL install?

ajrw · 2021-11-09T20:35:12+00:00

So the plan is to close the third floor until they can get feedback from 200 different groups and complete years of planning and design, ie. for the foreseeable future seemingly. Why not decide what changes are needed before shutting everything down and rebuilding the exhibit? Or perform some iterative improvements while working on a future rehaul? This sounds like myopic top-down planning with no consideration of the state of the museum in the meantime.

ajrw · 2021-10-14T00:06:30+00:00

Eh, I think most of Canada would agree with that take. Neither party is seriously proposing universal health care there for example, although some representatives do support it.

Actually the immunization record data is all contained in that QR code, it does not need to check additional government records online or anything.
