I don't believe I have the relationship flipped.

There are many valuable things that are not made into jewelry. There are metals that are more valuable than gold, but they are not as commonly used in jewelry because they aren't as aesthetically appealing. Gold was used for making beautiful things in cultures that did not treat it as money. It became valued because it was uniquely workable, beautiful, and durable.

Part of gold's value is its rarity, certainly. But another part of it is utility. If investor demand for gold collapsed, it would still be valued.

I think this tweet captures my sentiment about the situation pretty well:

> I don't blame her, I blame the I.T dept for not managing this risk adequately. It isn't up to her to have to defend this. She has a valid business need and I.t needs to meet this need and be secure also. I. T is the group that should be explaining themselves, not her

If it were an isolated individual incident then going against the user might be reasonable but in this case sharing passwords seems to be common usage pattern, and imho their IT dept should have certain degree of awareness about what their users are doing and working to proactively correct bad practices. And no, its not enough just to push new versions of software that has some helpful new features; you need also to get your users to use them, which won't happen by itself.

In particular the response of the IT dept (I guess?) seems bit tone deaf:

> We’re aware of reports that MPs share logins and passwords and are making enquiries of the relevant parliamentary authorities. We would remind MPs and others of their obligations under the Data Protection Act to keep personal data secure.

It contains a implication of punishment ("making enquiries to authorities"), and does in no way acknowledge the needs why the users are sharing passwords. A better response would have been something like

"We’re aware of reports that MPs share logins and passwords and are working to improve to systems so that it can be avoided in future. If you have been sharing logins, please contact us so that we can work together to make sure your needs are covered. In the meanwhile, here are some useful tools that can help you [link to delegation and collaboration docs]"

This always seemed like an incredibly toxic decision to me. It's one that crops up in all sorts of systems, large and small. What, none of these people /ever/ foresaw the need to delete some data?
I suspect this also applies to language features and API surfaces.

Price is a balance between supply and demand. Gold's price is high because there is a lot of demand for use in jewelry and industry. Its monetary value isn't some intrinsic or historical fluke. The monetary value is underwritten by its utility.

The most amazing change in relationships happened between France and Germany. After having fought against each other for centuries they have developed a very close partnership. Germans love French culture/wine/food, French people admire Germany’s economic success.

PS: yes I know, all anecdotal
The Germans seem to have moved on; they weren't given a choice, I think. From what I can tell, they've put a lot of thought and effort into coming to terms with the role their ancestors played in the first half of the 21st century, and the generation born after the beginning of the 80's, at least, seems admirably sane.

The rest of Europe definitely seems to cling to nationalist illusions of some form or another, still.

Edit: I should note, an entire supranational governmental entity/trade alliance was put in place to ensure Europe moves on. It is now called the European Union. After WW2, a lot of effort went into making sure WW3 doesn't start in Europe. We'll see how that goes now that the EU seems to be struggling...

There is no number of missiles you could fire that would guarantee 100% chance of hitting the target (even once, let alone multiple times).

Think of it like flipping coins. For a given coin flip, 50% odds of heads and 50% odds of tails.

But if you flip the coin 100000000 times there's still a tiny outside chance of tails coming up every time.

As you flip more coins, the odds of getting a heads on at least one of them will asymptotically approach 100%, but it will never get there.

"Once you give it permission, an active app keeps on having access to your face”

Isn’t the definition of an active app, one that is open and in the foreground?

The minute the phone sleeps, or the app is put into the background, access becomes more at Apple’s discretion.

I’d expect an app running in the foreground to be able to keep using the camera as long as needed..

Or is your point more: allowing once allows it every time the app opens, with no option to repeatedly prompt?

I mean, just definitionally, "racism" requires a notion of superiority. I know we use that word to serve a million tiny, individual purposes now, but "I don't like Americans because my country was once involved in a horrific war with Americans" isn't racism.

Again, just definitionally; that's not what that word means.
Non-financial use is the majority of gold demand:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/299603/gold-demand-by-se...

Jewelry is definitely not just a fancier way to store gold. How many people do you know that sold their wedding rings when prices spiked?

I don't think intrinsic value is a meaningful term. Gold has been valued for millennia because it is very useful for making pretty things. And the price has been high for a long time because the supply of it is low.
I meant the repo and bug tracker, which is can we listed in setup.py and is picked up by pypi.
> These interns don't need access to every email she sends to another MP

How do you know this? The Members themselves are best placed to determine the type and scope of this. Not all MPs will share and delegate, and not all interns will have such facilities extended to them.

The prescribed way is to have staff undergo vetting, then be assigned network privileges (with whichever delegated rights are specified). But this is the real world, where we know that trusted individuals in teams share credentials.

None of this precludes MPs (at least, those not on Government payroll) from setting up and using third-party accounts for their sole use - which is exactly what MPs do.

That's not even the important part. I don't care if I'm paying a sliver less taxes, because it's all being paid for by ballooning the deficit, and higher earners are getting a larger share of that anyway. Why should I care that I'm saving 5% on taxes while those making 100x my income suddenly save 15%, when their effective tax rate was already low?

This is completely besides the fact that I find taxes to be a good thing, seeing as the only reason I even have a future is through publicly funded programs that helped pay for my education and subsidize the small town I grew up in and even my entire state.

An article that explains the perverse results of "Ban the Box", and then attempts to rebut it:

https://onlabor.org/ban-the-box-and-perverse-consequences-pa...

> Ban the Box interacts with racial profiling because, unless it checks or asks, an employer has no information one way or the other about an applicant’s criminal record.

> Without individualized information, employers apply racial stereotypes that place applicants of color under a cloud of suspicion.

> But when employers check, they confirm not only who does have a record but also who does not, enabling employers to target the former for more accurate exclusion.

> The racial exclusion from stereotyping when employers don’t check could exceed the racial exclusion from accurate screening when they do check.

> That is exactly what happens, according to the studies.
This isn't an academic argument. There are many cases where company leadership knows the people and computers behind the botnet / ransomers and has to just sit there taking a beating. Not everyone can farm this shit out to Cloudflare.
+1 for G-Shocks. Even though Casio rates the accuracy of it's $8 FW91 quartz watch at "only" around 1 second per day[1], many people observe 1 second per month with others observing 0 seconds after 2-3 months. This makes it more accurate than almost all mechanical watches in any price range.

You can't deter hackers by breaking into machines.
You have never once spoken to me like you genuinely respect me. Not once. You are on the leaderboard. You routinely talk to me like I am an idiot. Nitpicking the things I say here while never interacting with me as if I have anything of value to bring to the table is actively harmful to my public reputation and seems to be par for the course for how women are treated here.

The issues of trans people are different than those of cishet individuals. But trans people act like saying that is somehow othering of them -- unless they are saying it to further their political agenda. There is zero reason anyone should feel compelled to come in here and piss on me for trying to make the point that I believe sexism will also persist. That it is not fundamentally different from racism in that regard.

Male to female transexuals face different problems from cishet women. They seem to have a much easier time fitting in on HN than I have had. And as best I can tell it is in part because powerful men can help a transexual and in the process signal that they aren't up to funny business, that it isn't rooted in sexual desire. But an awful lot of powerful men will do not a damn thing for me and I am quite confident that part if the reason is because they fear potential scandal. They fear people will talk because I am a woman.

I was quite open on HN about being homeless and having a genetic disorder. No one here feels compelled to do shit all for me to help me resolve my issues. My sob story has completely failed to cause people to take seriously my request for help to figure out how to make money online.

I in no way believe your question to be sincere interest in my problems as a cishet woman. Every interaction I have ever had with you suggests to me it is merely a politically correct means to be completely dismissive and contemptuous. So I am going to leave a couple of links here and then, most likely, not engage further. Because the situation here where there is only one woman on the leaderboard of HN and she can get no real support of a sort that will help resolve her financial problems and everyone is completely comfortable with literally watching her starve while standing idly by and then I have to put up with crap like this on top of it -- there just is no polite, politically correct means to reply to that. It is galling and I can't believe people subject me to this and then act like I am somehow the one in the wrong.
