Great work! Does this method have any distinct advantages over infecting mosquitos with Wolbachia? Thank you.


There was an earlier thread on tinnitus https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21572827 where people had some techniques for relief. Maybe this could be useful.


Several! In this one I shared what I did to deal with my case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33905368

For those with unilateral tinnitus that seems influenced by neck stretches or TMJ issues, try sleeping on your back or on the opposite side to avoid pressure on the affected ear.

Also, consider getting an MRI to check for possible causes; in my case, a vascular loop was found contacting the vestibulocochlear nerve inside the internal auditory canal.

While I consider my case largely managed, it still flares up a few times per month, usually triggered by irritation or inflammation (allergens, getting sick, poor neck posture, loud music for hours)


so how is ur tinnitus is it completely gone or just reduced?


Gone, like 95% of the time. Reduced to me would mean lower pitch, quieter but still always there. My episodes resolve in a matter of hours.


Oh! Before this thread disappears into the void (or until the next tinnitus thread), one more trick that really helped back then:

Percussion massage gun with the sharp tip, aimed at the trapezius and levator scapulae. Those muscles can refer tension right around the ears. Targeting them can calm things down fast, especially if your tinnitus is posture or tension-related.

Not medical advice.


You can buy a Lead Test Kit and check it yourself https://www.epa.gov/lead/lead-test-kits


I think there would be open-source machine variants that many people could own and modify. As population growth is slowing, finite resources should hopefully have a better and wider distribution among people as they would not be constraints.


Incredible news! This should be replicated in tropics everywhere. In Singapore, the government is using Wolbachia mosquitoes to control the spread of vector mosquitoes, which looks like another effective solution.


I checked if Algophilia is a thing. Algophilia. noun. - sexual pleasure derived from inflicting or experiencing pain


In a professional context, I use it to help a client (chemicals company) optimize their deliveries to customers. They have > 100 production sites and thousands of customers, so LP is used to allocate customers to production sites based on the product-cost and availability at supply site and trucking costs. We have evaluated multiple solvers (Gurobi/ Llamasoft/ GAMS/ LocalSolver etc) for optimizing deliveries, as well as evaluating the cost impact of changes to the delivery network.


Nonplussed can mean either, just discussed here a month ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40197346


IMHO a HS student learning Calculus should first learn the subject with pen and paper for a while before programming. It is important to work through the problems and think about the fundamental concepts involved, rather than thinking about the syntax involved in coding their solutions. Practising with pen and paper helps to internalize the subject matter better.


That is something behind the premise of:

_Make: Calculus: Build models to learn, visualize, and explore_ by Joan Horvath, Rich Cameron

It's a series with matching books for:

Geometry: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58059196-make

Trigonometry: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123127774-make


Makes perfect sense. And the parents suggestions for books is what I needed. Fun summer project. Learn svc and Mvc together with my Rising junior. What can go wrong.


Just being pedantic - it is dyed in the wool, not died :)
