I would suggest that part of the reason is that it comes across as you having an axe to grind, rather than what you’re saying. The conversation was one party agreeing with you about there not being great treatment options until recently when studies have finally been conpleted with you saying, ‘you’re wrong, my experience proves it, anything you say is an attempt to invalidate my experience’

That is quite probably not at all what you intended but that is how I interpreted that exchange.

> Basically gives a scientific basis to insulting one's ignorant opponents.

I suspect that's exactly why it's popular, and why the critiques and followup papers that show this result doesn't hold up to real-world scrutiny don't seem to have any effect on the public perception of this paper.

It gives people an excuse to feel superior. I think it's a meta effect, because it's one of those specious, great sounding results that is super easy to understand and super easy to believe, but isn't actually true. Everyone has someone in their life that is aggressive and annoyingly over-confident.

This paper has some really big flaws, it's probably a bad idea to apply it to any real world situation including opponents. It can't benefit society to have everyone making incorrect assumptions that confidence proves a lack of skill.

Acknowledged. I actually have a few (of those books). More so raised the points to be objective and for those who don't know any better.

Serious question though, is there much (U.S.) interest (define it as you wish) in this subject? Or is this more a passion project and attempt to raise awareness. (I'll understand if you duck the question for various reasons.)

That being said, one bad thing about Bezos owning WaPo is that Trump can dismiss it as "Bezo's / Amazon's WaPo".

These are valid and important questions, but let's not use this Ask HN to relitigate them, as they're off-topic: there are plenty of other places where this discussion has been had, and I'm sure will be again.

Except that they go annoying everyone with their memory safety as if it was a huge breakthrough, when in fact most of the serious information leakages do not originate from such problems but simply from design errors.

Same goes for the proponents of formal stuff like Coq. Even worse, because those languages are so insufferable that they induce design errors, the number of which will grow each time a poor soul will have to maintain the... thing. Then, all right, there is no mistake, the result maps perfectly to all your design errors.

I'm always glad to see Articles about Pragmatist Philosophers and their works on HN. I'm also glad to see that this article at least touches on how James' work relates to contemporary politics and issues.

One of the defining features of American Pragmatism is it's optimism. I think it's fair to say that the currently widely held sentiment about the state of society is that we are on the decline. I find that reading James, and talking to others about the need to address the rising issues (immigration protection, environmental concerns, wealth distribution, etc), injects that same optimism. Things are bad, but we can DO things to change things for the better.

Requiring an average American is setting the bar a little too high. Ask almost any Jewish American and they're likely to have relatives who died in the Holocaust. How did the Nazis carry that out? They leveraged a large surveillance network and a central database built with census data. Was this personal harm from surveillance? I would argue yes.

Similarly, you could ask anyone who experienced life (or had a relative who did) in the Soviet Union or East Germany under the thumb of those overwhelming surveillance networks.

Finally, to prematurely head off an objection you might have: are these events (Nazi, Soviet, East Germany) outliers? Yes. Does that disqualify them? No. [0]

I think Kotlin/Native's approach of sharing business logic while keeping the UI stuff native is probably the right choice. Although something like Flutter which render's all their own widgets is interesting because it allows you to share even more code. The question there is whether they'll be able to truly match the native widgets and have all the accessibility stuff working.

In any case it's good that different projects are approaching this from different angles.
I've never been more aware of my own dunning kruger effect until I started playing violin.

At first I was getting better fast and learning faster! I didn't often record my playing and I should. After 1 year I thought I made significant improvements and could play some songs "pretty good".

Into the second and third years I started being able to hear how scritchy and a little out of tune I was in almost every song. I also started listening to recordings of myself and shuddered at the sound.

I didn't know how bad I was because I was making such great improvements (from ignorant and being unable to play twinkle twinkle little star). It wasn't until I got mediocre that I could even hear how mediocre I am.

I think some of it is the big leap from total ignorance to beginner knowledge. It "feels" like you are getting better quickly and learning fast because you have no reference.
History says no.

Any widget toolkit, on any platform ever, that has tried to provide it's own cross-platform widgets, has been completely terrible and ends up being native-nowhere instead of native-everywhere.

I want this off. I know there's a setting.

What I really want is to be able to open a link in a tab and not load it (much less render it) until I switch to that tab. Why? Because I sometimes open lots of tabs and don't want those pages to have scripts running even from origins I allow (via NoScript) until I say it's OK (by switching to the tab).

Think of it as ephemeral bookmark that I want to get to later.
There is a nuance here.

The Dems are better. They are better than republicans on this, but they certainly aren't good enough. That is the unfortunate part. But if you definitely want a better chance for civil liberties, voting for R's will hurt you worse than if you vote for D's, significantly so.
Highly plausible, but I would suggest the reason would more likely be competition than anything else. Right now Skype's biggest competitor is whatsapp which is growing quickly, has end to end encryption and you dont need a skype name and password you've probably forgotten.

The tls-sni challenges rest on the assumption that a hosting provider will somehow ensure that a self-signed cert uploaded by the user contains "truthful" information, even though the second half of the cert is blatantly fake and is being abused to carry data. This is a bold assumption to make, considering the entire point of CAs is to say that the information being presented in a cert has been vetted, so why presume that anyone will vet any claims in a self-signed cert?

That aside, Let's Encrypt had an exemplary response to this issue throughout, and has made the right call here. A best-effort whitelist will enable a smoother transition for those on some known-good hosts, while mitigating this vulnerability and keeping their cert ecosystem uncompromised.

The work will now begin to add support to the other validation methods in ACME software that's lacking them, and to engage with the other custodians of the ACME protocol to rectify this particular flaw in design.

While the http-01 challenge is the recommended migration path, and likely the easiest to automate with greenfield software, the dns-01 challenge is the one with the fewest amount of intermediate assumptions -- such as the ones made when designing tls-sni-*, which in this case turned out to be faulty -- and represents the one most likely to be futureproof. After all, what better way to prove you own a domain itself than being able to add arbitrary records to it that all nameservers then echo back?

I had a long phone conversation recently with a game industry friend who had the misfortune of being involved in multiple games that became targets of abuse. I had asked him for advice about potentially making some youtube videos about game design, including f2p game design (which I have substantial expertise in).

He warned me that depending on the approach, even implying that I thought certain types of games or monetization weren't the worst thing since cancer could result in hate mail, doxxing, death threats to myself and my family, etc. He had been through that experience and wanted to warn me against it.

Despite being involved in some very popular f2p mobile games, the worst abuse I've had was someone sending me a DM on Reddit saying I should get cancer.

I don't really know what, if any, the solution here is. I've been able to ignore the worst of what I've taken because it's been pretty mild compared to what's possible. It makes me wonder - if I were the public face of a game that really, really pissed off the trolls, would I be able to emotionally handle the result? I have no idea and I don't want to find out.

The best resources I found so far are presentations from Netflix and Spotify, but they skip over so many details and assume so much knowledge that it's hard to get good results without being able to consult someone with experience.

Exactly. (I mentioned this in my response to the OP.)
The Project Zero staff along with other researchers are almost certainly keeping up with the latest papers in the field. I think it's not unlikely that these papers would lead them all towards the same set of interesting related unsolved problems.

Unless you have unlimited time or financial resources, you can't make a great game without having a dialog with your audience. Game developers' instincts are not infallible and they need to be able to get feedback and suggestions from their audience. Unfortunately, some of that feedback might be 'die in a fire.'

edit: And there's also the matter of games with live service components, where you're in a state of constantly tweaking the game based on feedback, potentially for years.
Citizens United was a case that addressed two issues. There was the 14th Amendment issue of corporate personhood and the 1st Amendment issue of whether money equals speech. Both of those had been applied separately before but this decision unified the two. You are focusing on the 14th Amendment portion while I was referencing the 1st Amendment portion, which is also likely the less controversial portion.

I completely agree on the dns-01 challenge. Those who are migrating off of TLS-SNI-01 and have a capability to standardize on dns-01 will be better off in the long run.

I think that their argument relies on assumptions something like these:

- One should avoid causing unnecessary harm to another conscious being

- Many non-human animals are conscious beings

- It is practical to survive on nutrients not derived from the harm of conscious beings

If you accept those three statements, then you should be uncomfortable with the idea of consuming nutrients derived from the harm of something conscious. If you choose to do it anyhow, you'll experience cognitive dissonance (where the definitions of "harm" and "consciousness" remain constant throughout the described scenario).
I'm addressing this point. Earlier you stated

> it seems like he hasn't touched the editorial side at all

which on the surface looks true, but under the surface isn't. Bezos has been directing editorial coverage behind the scenes at WaPo. I belive this is what rufus_2 is referring to as 'despicable'. That you said you haven't noticed it makes it more worrying.

While additional Trump coverage may have happened without Bezos interfering, and I agree this would happen naturally, the issue here is that the changes happened at the request of Bezos. Bezos did interfere on the editorial side and did direct the paper to cover more of certain stories and less of others.

Regarding the NYT, its articles regarding Trump are noticeably more tame and fewer in number.
> How does the knowledge of the paper's findings benefit society?

At a minimum (assuming that it held up; it's been widely criticized since) it would tell us that self-assessment, even aside from intentional dishonesty, is a dangerous basis for assessing ability in intellectual domains.

Conversely, it also would inform us that people that mis-assessing their own abilities in certain ways may well be honest rather than padding or demonstrating false humility.
