Why are doctors telling women that it's okay to take Tylenol during pregnancy in the first place? Everything they put in their bodies can have an effect on the baby so medication for pregnant mothers should be severely limited. Why haven't we learned from the Thalidomide scandal?
Tylenol only helps for minor aches and pains that frankly, pregnant mothers should just deal with for the good of their unborn child. The risk is not worth it.
RFK Jr. isn't right on everything, but he's not wrong on everything either and it's refreshing seeing someone head HHS that isn't in big pharma's pocket for a change.
Yeah, it’s refreshing seeing someone not in Big Pharma’s pocket.
Much better that he be in Big Wellness’s pocket which is an order of magnitude bigger, unregulated, and doesn’t need to provide evidence for their claims.
Is he in Big Wellness's pocket? I hadn't heard anything about that. Who's paying him off? He's a Kennedy with a net worth of about $15 million so he doesn't exactly need the money. He strikes me as an authentic true believer in his cause, but he could just be a really convincing con man, so I'd love to learn more about this.
Please link to some credible sources showing that he's being paid off by someone.
He literally just repeats whatever trends the crunchy moms on tiktok are latching onto. He's definitely not getting paid, but he's certainly carrying the banner and basking in the praise...

Untreated symptoms are also bad for the baby, and other OTC painkillers are worse than acetaminophen. You have to become informed and choose the least bad option for your situation (trimester, medical history, etc) rather than let a demagogue point your outrage at a random imperfect solution.
This is just another far-right ideological attempt at restricting women's bodily autonomy - this time the angle just happens to be nonscientific fearmongering about medicines.
See what you have done democrats? The reason these lunatics are everywhere including HN is solely because liberals didn't pass universal health care. If the choice is between the big pharma corporate puppetshow or the batshit insane fascist freakshow, eventually people go with the crazies.
My unhelpful answer is that I usually begin an unproductive procrastination loop wherein I overanalyze different alternative programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and possible ways to build software. I read a ton of books and tutorials and then never build the thing. Oh and I spend way too much time here and on other websites.
My helpful answer is that occasionally I break out of this procrastination loop and just start making something I think would be cool. It doesn't have to be anything new or exciting, just something that will keep my interest or even better scratch my own itch.
One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that you shouldn't reinvent the wheel. This couldn't be further from the truth. Just imagine if people actually followed this advice in the technology space. Almost all of the software that you use on a daily basis is a reinvented wheel.
> Contrary to the common narrative that women who marry and have children are unhappy, the 2025 Women’s Well-Being Survey finds that married mothers are happier than women who are unmarried and women who do not have children. Both marriage and motherhood contribute to well-being in different ways. Married women are more likely than their unmarried counterparts to report feeling deep connection and meaning in their relationships. They are also less likely to be lonely and more likely to receive physical affection—both strong predictors of happiness. Mothers are also more likely to find meaning and purpose in life.
From what I understand it just means the app will no longer work for that thermostat. All the other features that you access from the device itself should still work. At least that's how it was presented to me on the Nest app.
Can you access smart features on the device itself? Like program in schedules or whatever? Or does the device itself more or less just let you set a target temperature without the app
I know they used to be Home Assistant capable but required an API key which they will no longer give out. Seems like no fully local control to me. I believe my app stops working when the Internet goes out but it's been a bit.
Oh really? Weird. I did need to do some developer API key thing to get mine in HA, and it's awesome. All sensors and controls work great[1].
Since it's Homekit compatible though, you can go that route. HA easily discovers anything HK compatible as soon as you connect it to your network. So you connect Ecobee to HA with the HomeKit protocol in lieu of connecting it with Apple's stuff.
[1] ...and anything's better than the asinine on-device UI that Ecobee "updated" to a couple years ago (ask yourself: what would a foolish inexperienced "uX dEsIgNeR" do to ruin a plain old thermostat UI? It's that.)
same here. had 2 nests and 2 ecobees. the only ecobee quirk i find after 9 years of ecobees is that the weather calculation is way off if you live near microclimates. i'm not sure if they use your postal zipcode, or use a map from IP address to more accurate weather, but it's normally showing weather from 10 miles away.
My wife can ask google home for the weather forecast and it is correct. I ( the account holder ) can ask it when right beside her and it will provide weather prediction for a location 30km away.
I was really disappointed with the lack of analytics / historical data.
Thankfully the open source beetstat makes ecobee a lot more useful, with full history and graphs for heat/cool runtime, aux heat, indoor/outdoor humdity, etc
Is there a specific reason you’re choosing Delaware?
I know that it used to be the favorite state for this, but there have been recent changes to laws that make it less business friendly than it used to be.
This is why I’ve become sour on Raspberry Pi. By the time you obtain all the parts you need to turn it into a usable computer you’re spending more than you would for a used mini desktop PC that is more compatible and often more performant. Unless you really need an ARM processor for some reason, it’s hard to justify it.
The Pi has ended up in a strange zone where most of their customers are using it for things it isn't even good at.
It used to be positioned like an upscale microcontroller that cost a little bit more, but you could control hardware using the GPIO and you were afforded a whole linux OS where you could use higher level languages.
But then people started using it just for running fat linux applications like a PC. Then of course they started demanding more power, and so we've ended up with a bad mini-pc, rather than a platform for tinkering with hardware.
The old Pis made a lot of sense as an Arduino+++. But instead people are using them as a PC---
I don’t think most of their customers are using it for things it isn’t good at, just that those who are are very vocal online. I imagine most of their sales are to customers who are using them for projects where a reliable, supported SBC with GPIO is useful.
Raspberry Pi seem very engaged with their market and what they’re doing. They’re just not interested in making homelab media servers.
Yes, it was clear during the post epidemic chip shortage their primary customers were companies embedding it in various ways [0]. This has enabled them to execute on what I think is an excellent vision with the Pi Pico (including using it as a peripheral bridge on the 5).
At the same time, the B model and the 500 are oriented toward a general purpose tinkerer audience and RPi even highlights PCIe on the 5's homepage as if M.2 was natively on the board instead of a FPC connector (there is a caveat further down the page).
I appreciate RPi's vision and long lead times and think it would be interesting to hear the story of how they came to the decision of FPC plus power from 40 pin as opposed to building out M.2 (which could also be used for wireless, NPU/TPU, OCuLink, etc). Maybe it had to do with what they thought they could support with that Pico peripheral interconnect? Unlike standard PC makers they aren't taking a batteries included mobo chipset.
All aboard the PCI express
This addition to Raspberry Pi allows you to connect an M.2 SSD to your Raspberry Pi, giving you speedy data transfer and super-fast boot.
It honestly is weird that the 500 doesn't have a M.2 slot, being an all-in-one package. Not all of the Pi's use cases would benefit from fast mass storage and so you can understand why they wouldn't add a M.2 slot as standard if it keeps the BoM low and board size small. Not so with the 500.
You seems as somebody who has inside information, or maybe you're just speculating, too? People are right to question RPI offerings because most of us still remember the core idea from the inception of that project. Luckily there're still Zero's and Pico's that make for something intriguing (and the CMs, too). The core product for the most people (yes, really for most) has become too far away from attractive.
You just need to listen to some of the interviews Eben Upton has done. Also they seem to be quite successful doing what they’re doing?
The Pi has never really been aimed at the Linux-savvy power user. It’s always sucked at being a power user’s PC or as any kind of server where size and power consumption were not a primary concern.
You’ve always been able to find a used PC on eBay for a comparable price, even in the days of the Pi 1. This has never been the point of the Pi.
It was designed to be educative and versatile, and I think that still holds up today. It’s still excellent as a teaching computer for those wanting to learn Linux, or for those without access to a real PC. It’s excellent for embedded work, or prototypes, bespoke commercial solutions and hobby projects involving controls and sensors.
Its not supposed to be a usable computer. I've never hooked up any of my Pis to a monitor longer a few minutes other than to enable SSH, which now you don't even need to. Either way, I'm fine leaving out all the accessories.
The best part of the Pi ecosystem is that if one dies, I can easily find a replacement and just swap out the SD.
I don’t think he’s personally implicated in the Epstein scandal anymore than what’s already public knowledge. You don’t think that something like that would’ve already been used against him?
I think it’s more likely that he’s being blackmailed by the intelligence community or covering up for his friends.
> You don’t think that something like that would’ve already been used against him?
Honestly tired of this being used as some sort of exculpatory instant win. There are a handful of very good reasons this would not have happened. We won't know until he does the things his proxies promised.
And obviously covering for his allies is pretty terrible on its own.
I actually think he’s one of the most honest politicians in modern history. I know that’s a really low bar. For good and bad, he does speak his mind instead of the usual focus group tested politically correct rhetoric that most politicians speak in. I think he’s comfortable with lying to save his own skin, but I don’t think he lies about his political beliefs very often.
