Not everyone has that kind of insurance.

You also have no idea of the cost of various diagnostic actions they might take. I once had blood drawn and got charged $600 for it because the lab they chose was out of network. I didn't even know there was a cost, let alone which labs to request.

I don't think that point is as clear as you imagine. Really bricking a device may be illegal (and is probably already contested enough in front of a judge that a lawyer can tell you the details). But this device probably works 100% the same, just the server responds with "Not authorized". So in fact the device is still working perfectly fine.

I love it and hate it. It's nice that it gets attention, but so much of that attention is crap. Looking at your list, there's four generic comic book movies, and almost everything else is a sequel or reboot.

I've enjoyed the new Star Wars movies so far and I'll go see the next one, but I can't shake the feeling that they're sucking up the oxygen that might go to something better. Out of the whole list, the only one that really interests me is Valerian.

Maybe Amazon is different in other countries (I doubt it), but in my country after ordering on Amazon you send stuff back to the seller, not to Amazon. The ticket for that is handled in Amazon's interface but the actual interaction happens with the seller.

This title, and some others on the main page, made me realize that while a title might make sense in the context of its own site, we are collectively really bad at using titles that are appropriate for passing around on the internet. This article (like many others) could have been about just about anything based on the title alone.

Even if they would provide a full list of evertyhing they are collecting about you, how could you even prove that is really _everything_ as long as window is not OSS?

I suppose you'd have to take them on their word, but do they have that much trust from their users?
Maybe the fact that you know your diagnosis is not the important part. If the app can verify the diagnostic data is accurate (e.g., temperature, AI image recognition of visible indicators like rashes and pupil dilation, audio analysis of heartbeat and breathing) then it can save the provider time taking these metrics in the office. Case notes are full of "subjective temp" vs "objective temp," meaning, "what the patient reported" and "what I measured on the visit." Successfully removing this distinction would be difficult, but would save provider time and paperwork. All this info could be sent directly to the doctor for diagnosis. (Possibly with AI giving a suggestion?)
The false Seelbach Cocktail story is repeated here:

> Max “Scoopie” Allen was making an Old Fashioned in the Seelbach Hotel Rathskeller in 1917. Whether someone bumped him or was walking by with an open bottle, somehow champagne splashed into his mixing glass.

NYTimes wrote about this created history:

> Shortly after being put in charge of the hotel’s bar and restaurant operations in 1995, Mr. Seger declared that he had discovered a recipe for a pre-Prohibition cocktail that was once the hotel’s signature drink.

I'm thinking of the Opta F24 feeds, which IIRC are provided in-play every 300 seconds. I might be out of date on that though.

The ChyronHego data is interesting. I've played with is as part of a hackney at Manchester City - a hack day my team won, actually - and it definitely has some value. I get the impression those guys are only really just getting started, but the value of the data is so immense, that they might need to remain cagey about access, no matter what.
Those challenges teach vulnerabilities in old, low level cryptographic primitives. As much as I enjoyed those challenges, they are not a good place to start for a developer trying to build a secure application.
Because that's not actually what's happening.

For example if you have 1fr 1fr 1fr that will give you three equally large columns that take up the rest of the space, but you can also use 0.33fr 1fr 1fr which gives you one column that's one third the size of the other two.

Just because they tunnel the BGP back to some software system to make routing decisions doesn't mean they tunnel all the user data to that same location. To do so would be silly.

In fact, a good system would have a couple of systems handling BGP, with physical location fairly irrelevant, but acting as if they are local to the peer they are talking to.

They mean this quite literally too, as Microsoft employees direct everyone to use the Windows Feedback app to submit feedback, and the Feedback app refuses to function without Enhanced or Full Telemetry.

So, if you don't enable at least enhanced telemetry, Microsoft does not want to hear from you, does not care about your feedback, and no Microsoft employee will respond to your query on the matter.

I've tried to engage the Windows Insider folks over a couple different mediums, as far as I can tell they're barred from talking to anyone who even mentions telemetry.

Cryptography Engineering [0] is a great book that covers key topics in cryptography with a focus on best practices for implementors and system/protocol designers.

Matthew Green's blog, A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering [1], has a wealth of interesting posts that are often aimed at explaining cryptography to a "technical but non-cryptographer" audience, and tend to be motivated by recent events in security/cryptography news.

I'm not a mathematician, nor a physicist, but I don't understand this statement: similar to, for example, the zero probability that a random real number in some interval is a rational number. Is it just a consequence of rational numbers being countable and real numbers not being countable? Seems like an odd way to define probability in this instance.

You totally missed the point of the '95 movie if you think it was all in the dialogue. 90% of the content was told through visual storytelling and the soundtrack.

The new movie totally missed the point too. If they wanted to make a full up action movie they could've done that.. but instead it was a bad attempt at reimagining the original for a wider audience - which I think is contradictory because the original movie HAS a wide audience while still retaining depth.

Not to mention the editing was horrible.. it felt like Batman Vs Superman all over again.
This isn't wikipedia.

If someone is so concerned about sources, they can include it in the reply after the parent.

Nobody likes people who complain but won't do anything about it.

If the lack of citation bothers you so much, maybe you should include it yourself. Nobody else gives a shit in case you haven't noticed.

The original comment had no citation yet it received upvotes, contrary to your view of HN. Everyone is intimate with Google and they can follow the instructions in this thread to find the appropriate sources. If you want citation in the format you find in academic papers, that is on you, not the original commentator.

I can't help you any further but there are plenty of comments being posted as we speak that lack citations, you better get on that quick!
one reason that buses seem so unpleasant in the US is the current system of laws governing the use of streets/roads. it's not hard to imagine different laws which would improve the experience of bus riders:

what if cars were only allowed to use streets during non rush hour times?

what if two out of the four lanes on every freeway were dedicated to buses and only buses 24/7?

what if individual car registrations were simply capped at a small number?

what if car registration fees/taxes were increased significantly because, per passenger mile, cars wear the roads down and take up more road space than buses?

what if through a combination of better policing, more surveillance, more robust passenger identification, and so on, buses could be made cleaner, safer and more pleasant?

these things sound draconian and anti-democratic, to be sure, but the technology of buses could be far more efficient than they are today if the laws were tilted heavily in their favor. but right now, individual cars rule the road.

Consider Phlebas is what comes to mind right away. As I recall, Banks said that the book came about when he saw Star Wars and thought "I can do better," and it's already a movie-ish story.

This is a neat game, but I have to say that the explanation of order didn't feel particularly enlightening, and I was hoping it would become clearer but it never got used again.
True enough, but that causes much less damage because except in the rarest situations, you never write code to do random access to an array of children, you just iterate over them without using indices at all.

This is opening up a situation where you have a 2D Javascript array for a model and a bunch of components in the layout (a chessboard, imagine). And the coordinates won' t match!

This is what I don't get. For as many reasons as they have to justify telemetry, it can't be worth the damage to their image of refusing to allow a disable setting. Especially since the vast majority of users will not disable it anyways.
Same here with Harry Potter in regards to stale bread and cheese.
I could consider a scenario where heap dumps of a process crashing due to an exploit would be immensely helpful to Microsoft, since everyone is essentially now a honeypot-esque collector.

If you use webpack, just drop in webpack-subresource-integrity [0] for basically "free" SRI tags on all scripts.

It's not really as useful if you are serving your static assets from the same place as the HTML (and you always use HTTPS) but if you load your js/css on another server SRI can still provide some protection.

"The OFFICIAL REGULATION AUTHORITIES for nuclear safety in Japan had a different opinion"

Citation needed.

I could not find anything supporting that claim in the article you linked to. In fact, there is an article saying the regulator refused to shut down a plant [1]

"Despite attempts by politicians in Tokyo to persuade them to do so, provincial governors and local communities won’t allow them to restart."[2]

"Utilities were unable immediately to restart them due to public opposition."[3]

Also, the regulator that called for tougher standards was a new regulator, politicians having replaced the old one. So very clearly a political move.

So as I wrote, the shutdowns were largely political (or in some cases, routine shutdowns for maintenance happened and the reactors were then not allowed to restart for political reasons. Same difference).

YouTube is my overwhelming choice, you want to be on a platform that is in some form substituting TV. Twitter, FBLive, Amazon, AppleTV, XboxLive etc. are all nice but are sideshows.

YouTube and Netflix are the only two real games in town, but YouTube is the overwhelming front-runner.
What about the treatment side? Once you have a diagnosis, could we use AI to review the patient's medical record, compare outcomes of past patients with the same diagnosis and similar histories, and suggest adjustments of personalized treatments to optimize outcomes?

Overall, of course, you're right. Liability is the problem with my suggestion. Doctors prescribe to treat, they also prescribe to meet the legally mandated standard of care and minimize second-guessing later. Looking at each patient as a unique snowflake-- or at least, part of a thinner-sliced group-- helps with the first, but directly undercuts the second goal. Such an approach would probably need to originate outside the U.S.
There is an extremely similar drink in the UK (and probably elsewhere) called Ovaltine which is marketed as an energy drink.

I always thought it was odd that two such similar drinks were marketed in such contrary ways. Horlicks to make your sleep and Ovaltine to give you energy. Perhaps that was the point at which I realised marketeers weren't always scientific in their advice :(
Instead of building an MVP and then trying to sell it, there are people who suggest:
1-Think of an idea.
2-Make a simple landing page with a mockup or something.
3-Try to sell the product. And by selling the product I mean actually selling it (so people actually transferring you money). If you can achieve a given amount of sells in a given amount of time (important: set concrete goals with concrete timing), then you have validated your product.
4-Build a first version of your product.
5-Iterate.

Very simple to say, very difficult to do (I've never tried, but I would probably fail). But I think there would be ways to systematically apply steps 1-3 until you find the right product to work on.

Any thoughts?
Alex! Apologies for the late response - there's a few things we're doing differently. The main is we aren't restricting who can chat. In addition we use interest categories for easy exploration of interests and have a focus on live/real time conversation.

The overall direction of live, interest-based conversation is similar, but for us the direction of the idea is different and the team behind it and in the end it comes down execution.

It's amazing to see users connect who otherwise would have never met. We've had people learning new languages, talking about deep topics like alcoholism support, or discussing societal questions like universal basic income.

Because no Windows Update information is gathered at this level, important information about update failures is not sent.

Yeah, although the problem is that using 33fr 33fr 33fr, will have the same effect and lead to that perfectly reasonable conclusion.
