Hurricane category 6 could be introduced under new storm severity scale

news.ycombinator.com Sascha Pare 2025-10-20 14:53:39

Hurricane Florence made landfall in South Carolina in September 2018. It was a Category 1 hurricane, but the devastating flooding that followed killed 55 people. A new hurricane categorization system could help people better prepare for storms by incorporating risks from storm surges and rainfall into the categories, a study published this month reveals. Storm surges — elevated seawater levels near coasts — and rainfall cause almost 80% of hurricane deaths, yet they are not accounted for in th

As of early 2025, we’re deploying all of our applications with Kamal using Docker as our containerization platform. The container registry that holds our app images is one of the most integral pieces of our deployment pipeline. Like many organizations, we’d been using external container registries for years. Our ecosystem was tightly coupled to both Dockerhub and Amazon’s Elastic Container Registry. However, as part of our cloud exit and kamalization journey, several issues started emerging:

The next day, HHS released a statement calling for “increased nutrition education” for medical students. “We can reverse the chronic-disease epidemic simply by changing our diets and lifestyles,” Kennedy said in an accompanying video statement. “But to do that, we need nutrition to be a basic part of every doctor’s training.” It certainly sou

I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization.
