Yes, I believe that's possible, though not necessarily with the same performance. I built magicnonce [1] explicitly with two properties in mind:

* the simplest possible synthetic nonce design that's "obviously" correct for some useful value of correct.

* uses only explicitly exported libsodium APIs.

It's an off-line scheme like SIV, because the users I'm targeting don't care about on-line schemes. If you really care about on-line schemes, I think the simplest, most practicable solution right now is to just use an large nonce scheme (like secretbox) filled with random bits.

To give you an idea about performance and to continue with the author's gracious use of unflattering benchmarks, my Clojure+FFI code is about 20% slower than his AES-SIV-PMAC code. It should probably just publish it on IACR instead of just in a random module of my libsodium binding.

One could argue that it is still desirable to have fast, AES-based algorithms, and I think that both this article and related work (e.g. the AES-GCM-SIV paper) do a reasonable job of making that point. For example, my cost function assumes libsodium is free but implementing any nontrivial crypto is very expensive. If that's not true, say, in resource-constrained embedded environments (libsodium not free, developing crypto par for the course), I can totally see why you'd end up with SIV or SIV-PMAC: you just need one really fast implementation of an established primitive (AES). Really anywhere where the platform hasn't tilted the table in favor of GCM by having CLMUL instructions, AES-SIV-PMAC should dominate both from a performance and safety perspective.

Is it really fair to let poor people have health services that they didn't pay for? Is keeping poor people healthy/alive really the best allocation of resources?

Shouldn't triage take into account who is the most profitable so wealthy people can go to the front of the line where they deserve to be?

I mean really, why should my undocumented nanny, house keeper and gardeners be entitled to the same health care that I am?
[Of course, I don't pay them enough to buy health insurance but that's their problem.]

As @gselevator tweeted "I never give money to homeless people. I can't reward failure in good conscience."

(This is sarcasm in case it isn't obvious.)
It wasn't "ban all Muslims" it was "ban all Muslims from entering", which is a pretty important distinction & not anywhere near as severe as deportation. The travel ban was really stupid in my opinion -- but I don't dislike it is as much as I dislike the notion that having any policy about who can or can't come here is immoral.
This is a non-sequitur, and not related to the original topic which was: Should non-citizens be disallowed from receiving ER care without paying for it themselves?

Additionally, we already had that system in place, it was called "lifetime limits" and it was typically $1-2m on the best healthcare plans.

Why Asian Family Offices Are Pouring Money into Tech Startups
Since this is a social problem, you can add a complication that the response time has an impact on the throughput.

If people call for an appointment, and find they have openings this afternoon and tomorrow morning, they'll be more likely to go to the doctor. If they find that the earliest appointments are 12 weeks out (as I did when trying to schedule a physical before a recent trip to Asia - ended up skipping the appointment), they're going to go elsewhere.

If you're viewing the queue as a sort of plumbing system, this can be approximated as backpressure.
Can you tell us a bit about your skill set? Thanks.
Urgent Care clinics might help fill the gap between long term care (where delays are OK) and emergencies (where delays are not OK).

I don't want to knock the technical achievement here -- it's a cool hack -- but I'm really surprised that it was deemed to be the best choice for a production system.

In the first place, "we can't compile our code on every change because it takes too long" is a really awful situation to be in. Are developers not building and testing their changes before deploying them? Can Facebook not afford a continuous integration system that can run builds in parallel? It sounds like this problem is only happening because the application is a giant monolith, but for some reason splitting it up would slow down development even more... I'm not sure I buy that reasoning.

The article says that "Haskell’s strict type system means we’re able to confidently push new code knowing that we can’t crash the server", which is a real stretch. In addition to all of the usual ways a computation can diverge, this hot-swapping system adds a whole new variety of failure modes. The article talks about how the code needs to be carefully audited to prevent memory leaks, but it doesn't even mention the weird things that can happen when mutable state is preserved across code modifications. Debugging is a pain when your data structures can get into states that aren't reachable with any single version of the code. (This is a well-known issue in Linux kernel live-patching, for instance.)
I think it died because bookmarking is a feature, not a company. As so many syncing and social media services gained traction, a pure bookmarking service was always gonna get lost in the noise. I was A Delicious user for a while, but now I use Firefox sync and Evernote for bookmarks. As for exploring others bookmarks, I use Facebook for that.
That's one of the reasons that I've been moving off of their platforms. I remember when they had light, useful, efficient pages that let you get your work done then move on. They've slowly been moving everything to large, slow, bloated, whitespace-nightmares while removing functionality.

If Google was starting as a new company today, there would be no way that I'd use any of their products.
I think most people believe its morally repugnant that your value as a human being is related to how much money you have. Because choosing to serve one person over another based on money rather than their medical need is exactly that.

Ie: I broke my toe and I have insurance, so I get ER treatment, but that guy who has no insurance and is internally bleeding to death from a street stabbing (and is hispanic, doesn't have insurance and maybe isn't american?) is pushed behind me in line. That is the real life scenario that at least one person is advocating here.
"Including visits for conditions that may be most readily treatable in primary care settings."

That's just engrained practice. People used to go to the ER instead of a regular physician, now they continue what they always did. You ask yourself why the hospital doesn't set up a regular practice on the premises and has triage send patients there.

An easy way to prevent nonce reuse is to use a nonce big enough to be selected at random. 192 bits is big enough. XChacha20 provides that. I believe there are more general nonce extension constructions out there, but I don't know enough to recommend any.

If for some reason you cannot (or don't want to) rely on your system's random number generator, consider using a hash of the chain as the nonce. Just make sure duplicated chains never happen, or revealing the existence and location of duplicates is not a problem.

If you need to mitigate replay attacks… Err… I don't know.
Much better. There's definitely many improvements that could be done, but that was the main one. The other big one is how the bigger disc doesn't change size.

The approximation OP does is a good start but still far from being real metaballs.

I really liked what was done in STEPS project. I learned a lot from their repors. For example, this Ian Piumarta's paper is absolutely beautiful [1]. I also spent a lot of time learning oMeta [3] system by Alessandro Warth.

And, honestly, now I see nothing really new in Ohm. Basically, it's just some tweaking of the same tech. Moreover, Ohm was made for isolated parsing task. For me it's a step back. My point is that the parsing alone is not very interesting thing, for making DSLs you need to have other tools too. In the Ian Piumarta's paper we had a minimalistic program transformation system [2]. Remember original META II [4]? It was a compiler-compiler (metacompiler), not just a parser generator. I'm really curious to know why the authors decided this time to limit themselves by only parsing.

There is a major lack of information and advertising around Urgent Care. Very very few people know Urgent care exists. And in what form does it exist. Its different across states and cities.

Comparatively, Emergency care/Ambulances are available almost everywhere through 911 AND take most of the mind space around urgent issues.

Finally, Urgent Care centers are not equipped to handle lots of things like broken bones etc. They just refer you to an emergency center instead.

Sorta: if your CSPRNG is weird/broken then you have way worse problems, so just use your CSPRNG. If your CSPRNG is fine, adding global counters, timestamps, uptime... makes no sense.

Psilocybin Studies and the Religious Experience: Interview with Roland Griffiths
3 has been an issue for me recently. I was referred to ER for some chest discomfort, which, unfortunately, the school clinic I was studying at cannot do the blood tests to see if it's a blood clot. I was given scary words like "you could die from this if untreated".

For that reason, I visited ER twice that week, and was diagnosed with some mild stomach issue and stress. Every single test they ran gave negative result. It's a huge waste of time for me, and I feel very guilty for wasting ER resources (especially as an immigrant). There has got to be a better way.

Edit: I was very lucky to be covered under school-mandated health insurance, and I don't think you could live comfortably in the U.S. without having one.
These values are certainly not important to everyone. In fact, many people don't use any of these to evaluate jobs/offers. I'm curious though, what do you care about most and how do you compare options and choose the right one based on what you care about most? Ie. if you care about money, do you change jobs frequently in order to negotiate a better salary?
How to prep for a technical interview for a non-engineering role
I suspect a lot of people have given up on finding somewhere with real offices and now only look for remote work.
This isn't that surprising. The cost of health care is so astronomical that many people WITH insurance refuse to go to a doctor until their condition is so bad they can't avoid it any longer, and then it's straight to the ER.
This might be one of the best explanations I have seen for MS ad copy and marketing in general. Thanks for the insight.

In general, other services will be cheaper than Mailchimp. I use mailjet, which has both transactional and marketing email service.

Don't see any difference in bounce rate.
Do you want to get out of software engineering? I think it all depends on what you want in the future.
That and cointegration.
"The main difference between MailChimp and SES, is the fact that SES lacks many of the features from MailChimp."

That's for sure. SES only has 1 feature in common with Mailchimp and that is the sending of an email. Mailchimp's primary function is managing distribution lists, email templates and receiver activity analytics.
I would hope you answer if asked about it, but I don't see it as something to bring up unless directly asked about it. Maybe my experience is unique, but on the interviewee side of the table it has only come up once after being in the workforce for 2 years. The only reason was because we went to the same school and were joking about professors.
I was a student at Hack Reactor Remote. They were supposed to be one of the best bootcamps. I don't know how they do it, but I feel like their stats are completely false. Most of the members in my cohort are still unemployed and they provide little guidance. They might have been good 5 years ago, but it seems times have changed.
I believe this is only necessary for salmon. Because they spawn inland they host parasites whose life cycle includes terrestrial animals, like bears and humans.
Synology offers what I believe is the equivalent to Smart Sync. You pay for the machine upfront, a lot cheaper than these services over the long run, and you don't need to trust a third party with your data.
While I do love the Mac trackpad, the important part is the amazing gestures built into OS X- things like workspace switching and window management are far easier in OS X as a result. But maybe that makes a more dramatic difference for me because I've always disliked alt+tab.
I'd love to ask you the same question as I did above: what is your strategy in getting the highest paying job? Do you freelance? Have side hustles? Change jobs frequently? Spend time mastering negotiations?
Its not fair to compare mailchimp to amazon ses, mailchimp is a full newsletter sending platform that handles everything. if you need only email sending there is 100k mails for 20usd with sendgrid.
Which is a good thing, if you're interested in not getting parasites!
Which is super unfortunate considering it is an artificial limitation.
True. I think it's a bit of a security compromise for convenience. Having backup codes stuck in a folder somewhere at home is only useful if I need to regain access to one of my accounts while I'm at home.

This is true for some but not all species. Most fishmongers will not recommend eating salmon raw unless it has been deep frozen (and not just frozen in a typical residential freezer, which doesn't get cold enough), but most consider eating raw never-frozen tuna to be fine.

As with most things in life, it's really a question of risk and trade-offs. Parasites are rare enough in tuna that they are below the risk threshold for most people. Salmon less so, though it depends on where you get it and how much you trust them.

The broad guideline is that deep, open water, fast-moving fish have a lower parasite load than fish who live closer to shore, closer to the bottom, and/or don't move as fast.

Thus, tuna is pretty safe. But you're gonna want to cook an eel or a catfish before you stick it in your mouth.

One of the things I find fascinating about sushi but try not to think about too much, is that the clear implication is that all of the needed-to-be-frozen sushi I have eaten probably did have some parasites in it. I just ate dead parasites, which I admit is better than eating live ones. Safe, but still kind of gross.

> and you would think that would be lower cost than catastrophic care later.

That's the whole question.

It's possible that people without insurance would have just never gone to the doctor and then died without ever being treated by anyone. Dying of some preventable condition is obviously worse for them, but it doesn't inherently result in more money being spent on healthcare.
If iCloud's storage offering matures to be on par with Dropbox Plus, I'd drop by Plus account in a heartbeat.

Dropbox isn't competing on storage alone anymore. It wants to release productivity tools and start getting more into the Business space (which I can't fault, biz is where the volume and margins are at). But for storage alone? Sync fast, don't lose my files, and you can have my money.

I won't dare say iCloud/OneDrive/Dropbox are a commodity...yet. Storage is a commodity (S3, Backblaze, Azure, GCP, etc), and the consumer-friendly layer on top will eventually commoditize (and you'll be able to migrate your entire "drive" between providers super quick). The treadmill only speeds up.
