The threat vector boils down to using a phone number porting attack to gain access to Coinbase, and maybe also email. It has happened to many public owners of crypto.
This seems reasonable.

Declarative code, such as HTML or CSS, which describe particular behaviors of rendering from a broad, but limited palette, are a different severity from imperative code that can interact with various features of your host platform.

As a user, for the web execution trust model to work, you need to know that the code you're about to execute was vetted by originating site and not altered in transit. TLS provides this. It won't help you with easing the cognitive load of making that decision, or extending your trust model to third-party origins referred to by the site you visit, but it does provide baseline assurance that the content wasn't tampered with by an agent that wasn't a party known to you or your origin ahead of time.

As a side-effect, this move serves to further segregate the document-based 'legacy' web and the new web that's an application delivery platform. In my opinion, any move that sets these two use-cases further apart, without necessarily impacting the nameplate usability expectation of either, is a welcome step.
777 has incredible range, the current 777-LR (worldliner) still flies further than the 787. I think Boeing will upgrade the 777 with better composites and engines, but I doubt 777 will be die anytime soon.

Yeah. I want tests and types (and static analysis tools, and...)
We know for sure that we don’t know all smaller primes.

For example, there is at least one prime between 2^77,232,915 and 2^77,232,916 that we don’t know (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand%27s_postulate)

(That’s a very loose bound. I think that, for any N > 2, there are more primes than squares of integers less than it)
Terrabeam tried during the .com boom, but couldn’t get it cheap enough. Ronja is a open source 10mbit optical link. I ‘m not aware of any attempts in the past few years to do this though.

Like others have said, optical works best in areas with clear weather for most of the year. In addition, tall buildings move alot, to it works better on shorter structures.
It depends on the length and area of the nuclear winter, not on bombing each individual. There would be the added genetic destruction through radiation, so it's not just like surviving Siberia.

Also the humans that survived through Greenland had prepared for generations to live in hardship. Those left after any nuclear war certainly won't have been living their lives in nuclear winter world, no matter how good the doomsday peppers think they are.
You are able to be anonymous on HN by creating a new account which is not tied to your regular account history.

If you had millions of dollars in crypto you would too. It's not nearly the same as having it in a bank or mutual funds which cannot easily be taken from you in a flash.

>What distinguishes cartels from roving bandits that pivot to stationary?

You're asking the wrong question, I think. The 64 trillion dollar question, IMO:
"what allows market incumbents to remain stationary"

The 'blame', as ever, lies in human frailty. Avarice and greed. Alternatively, you could look at avarice and greed as malformed extensions of self-preservation instinct.

Bad actors are omnipresent and relying on market forces to expel them from markets is like trying to pray cancer away.

> This may work for chronic conditions

According to the CDC, 75% of healthcare spending in the US is spent on chronic conditions or issues comorbid with chronic conditions.

So system changes that only help with chronic conditions could still be very worthwhile.

Expansion is one thing, bringing in tens of thousands of employees with a whole new headquarters is another. Traffic alone it would be nightmarish.

No, murder has a mandatory life sentence. Sicherungsverwahrung is totally distinct from that, as is the declaration of „special gravity of guilt“ that the court can impose.

Everything less than life is capped at 15 years (manslaughter etc.)

Life sentences mean exactly that: until death. But for constitutional reasons every convict must have hope that he can be released early. That‘s what those regular reviews (after 15 years or more) are for.

Many convicts get released early, because they sat in prison for a long time and pose no threat anymore. Others are released for medical/humanitarian reasons.

But this opinion that murderers always get free after 15 or 17 years is pervasive and utterly wrong. And it leads to people demanding excessive punishments, because they feel they must demand much more to have evil people do time.
To clarify, the constitutional court has ruled that people who serve a life-long sentence must have the legal means to be regain their freedom at some point.

The video was too long for the information content.

Short version: the "@" symbol has been around for hundreds of years. It has different names in different cultures. It wasn't on early typewriters but by the 1889 it was. In the 1960s it became part of ASCII, and Ray Tomlinson used it as a symbol for routing email to another computer.

BTW, they show the "@" on the 4 key. That's the British typewriter layout. The US keyboard had a "$" on that position, and "@" was on the same key as ¢, to the right of ";". (I believe ¢ disappeared in ASCII because it could be composed as 'c' + '/'.)
Usually you need special flooring with tie-downs and rollers to facilitate moving the load around, which helps maintain an appropriate CG (Center of Gravity).

Purpose-built freighter models also remove things that aren't necessary and just add weight - such as windows (packages don't need a view). This allows the carrier to transport more cargo in the same flight.
Some of the time stamps I’m seeing on the code are on the order of two years old. How is that possible, considering how long the switch has been out? I guess they were able to reuse a lot of code?
There is no historical evidence linking Joseph Kennedy to bootlegging other than the totally unverified claims of a dying monster 50 years after prohibition ended. It’s a political smear.
That this model exists is OK; that it dominates pop science is a problem. I wish there were a lot more books like the one by Feynman that I linked to in another comment, which focus on real understanding. We can't all be Feynman, but we can try to do better.

This is perhaps the opposite of minimalism, but I miss the days of Winamp and really awesome visualizations. When Winamp fell away, iTunes and the rest just never bothered to make many entertaining visualizations. It's too bad - some of the wa visualizers were so entrancing that it really did enhance the "listening" experience.
I was briefly engaged as an early technical employee number X (somewhere between 3-15 because later I discovered they apparently kept leaving) at a small startup (sans-funding) here. It was a bit of a mess. Offered 0.05% maturing in 4 years (or you take a substantial cut for maturation in one year), with no salary and vague promises of expenses covered, and unhinged scope creep that I'd only hear about while sitting next to the (non-technical) founder in a sales pitch.

Needless to say, I didn't stay long.
Oh. I still read it the other way. This is the phrase that I honed in on: "not because it carries any truth."

In any case, thanks for the nice note. I'm pretty sure nobody is monitoring this thread anymore.
Great idea but it's easy to mistake stutters.screening.somehow for stutter.screening.somehow, and it gets worse when you consider words that are pronounced similarly but spelled very differently. If the similar words are indeed spread far apart, and not random, that might work OK, but adding a checkword, or more words with fewer different variants, could help here.

It's also a commercial, closed standard (https://what3words.com/pricing/) which is as good as a death sentence for adoption.
You're staking out some pretty tough ground, there. Human error can be unconscious or reflexive, and that type of UI element is sometimes barely a speedbump, cognitively.

Occasionally I reflexively click-through a confirmation dialogue box and regret it. I feel like I've been trained by the software industry for decades to bludgeon my way through these confirmations, many of which are unnecessary to begin with. I basically have muscle memory for it, the skids are greased for clicking-through. I know I'm not the only one.

So, I could see myself making this type of slip. It's really hard to know the balance between human and system error for this incident, but to me it looks like the system naively assumes a perfect human. Even if the incident turns out to have been an intentionally malicious act, the problem with the system would still remain.
I've seen similar trends in post-Communist EU countries. We are importing the worst patterns from US. Public health insurance is most of the times miserable.
> The problem really isn't the doctors but the structure of insurance and how people treat health care and health insurance similarly. The worst part is that high costs aren't directly the fault of insurance companies but of government having driven the need for insurance. Health care used to be all cash, and people carried catastrophic health insurance policies only. We are moving back towards that. This isn't stating my preference, one way or the other, just the historical facts.

> On the back end, there is the cost of lawsuits that also drives up prices systemically.

Here's one example. A (probably not domesticated) cat scratched someone. They went to get shots. Waited a couple of hours and got the shot. Bill in the mail for about $8k. Somehow, I really doubt Humana paid their 80% which is $6,400 but of course the patient has to pay the 20%. I suspect what is happening is that Humana pays close to $0 and the patient picks up the whole tab of $1,600.
Sorry to say this, but other places still regularly place faith in pseudo sciences like Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture, etc. Sadly this is invading medicine, and I wish the push back was stronger.

While our health insurance system is a disaster, our dedication to the scientific method is still best, I believe (even with our Integrative Medicine-like foul ups).
Who the hell is writing these articles? The author sounds like the kind of person who loves his 20 second reads on Slate. I didn't expect much better coming from The Guardian. It makes me wonder, are they just pushing out these articles to force weak hands to fold or never enter in the first place?

So you're thinking about writing an article about Bitcoin? Don't

Yeah. I've worked a few places in the healthcare industry, and I've always felt that I'm part of some ancillary service that would be better if regulated and automated. For healthcare to get cheaper the system must be made smaller, people will have to find new jobs.

Yes, but they must not be granted that. What you said is correct, but people might interpret it as an absolute right to be released at some point.

The court mostly ruled that we must not have a situation like in America where elected politicians who are driven by populism decide on it. It must be legal proceedings in a regular court.

I'd have to say my significant other. Before we met I was working at a car wash, selling weed, and barely passing my classes. She inspired me to be the best I can be and pushed me out of my comfort zone. Since we met, I got A's in every class afterwards, built an app that got me a job at a software company, and now I'm working a job a love at one of the best companies in the industry with a career I find satisfying.

I attribute a lot of my success to her, although I do know I put in a lot of the work. I just needed some guidance and motivation and she helped me find it.
Fluoroquinolones are molecularly designed to destroy most cells in the human body, so it's unclear why some people are affected more than others. Two things to consider: Fluoroquinolone side effects can be so outrageous that people don't know to look for them or link them to antibiotics. For example, sensitivity to light, increased anxiety or depression, unexplained tendinopathy or random stabbing pains around the body, weakness or instability in joints, unexplained dizziness, heart palpitations, are some of the dozens of possible "milder" symptoms. Secondly, the delayed toxicity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause permanent damage years after stopping the drug. Anecdotally a story just surfaced of a woman with a spontaneous tendon rupture 7 years after stopping cipro. Something like permanent mitochondrial damage, or delayed genetic damage, or delayed oxidative stress, which fluoroquinolones are well documented to cause, may weaken the body slowly over time.
I hope this gets more visibility on HN, so people can see others do live outside the reality distortion bubble. It was only last week people were arguing whether $150,000 was an average salary for programmers in the bay area.
You son has broken his arm. The doctors in your town will only take cash.

One of the doctors charges $50 to set the broken arm.
The other doctor charges $500.

Which one are you going to take your child to? Most likely, the $500 one. Because going to the bargain basement doctor is not something you do when dealing with medical issues if there is absolutely any way to afford it. It creates what I call 'reverse capitalism.' You can only draw more customers by charging the highest price in the area.

If your customers stop even being the ones footing the bill, it accelerates to a patently insane level. That makes footing peoples insurance bills a ludicrous and idiotic business to get into. Unless, of course, you've got protection from the government or special considerations where antitrust laws do not apply to you so you can engage in price-fixing, intimidation, and other tactics.

Made to compete fairly, medical insurance companies would be out of business overnight because it's a downright stupid business to begin with.
No. In order to utilize your insurance plan's out-of-network services, the insurance company has to be in the loop. A cash-based system completely circumvents insurance.
Interesting to see how differently this does today, with an editorialized title, vs the actual title that was submitted a day or two ago and insta-flagged.

On what basis are you making such a statement?

Afaik many people use meth for performance enhancement and as a cheaper alternative to coke, heroin mostly comes in with people who've built up an opiate addiction through prescription opiates and a cheap escapist solution.

Add in a generally very crappy living situation, where these substances are used as means of escapism from reality, and most of the habit boils down to all kinds of circumstances, but very rarely to this urban myth of "it's just so addictive that you can't stop after the first time", as most of it has to do with building habits on top of an already destructive lifestyle.

Case in point: I've done meth and coke more than once, and never did I feel the need to "keep on doing it due to withdrawal". If anything, the side-effects of something like meth make it very unpleasant to regularly use due to being physically and mentally very taxing.

That's why I don't think there's some kind of "large untapped market" for substances like these. Most people are still rational actors and if otherwise content and happy with their life won't start with destructive behavior on the sole basis of a substance being "super addictive".
1) Would be neat if you could use this to edit Jekyll / statically generated sites, especially if it had basic git integration.

AT&T fiber has a 1 TB data cap. That's effectively a 3 megabit average connection if you use it 24/7 with security cameras, cloud backups, etc.

Judged accurately like this, AT&T fiber is effectively a 0.003 gigabit connection.
I recently had a candid conversation with an ex-Con about this very subject while vacationing in MX.

Yes, pot exports have declined, but MX is importing the latest growing and manufacturing processes from CO, WA, CA, OR innovators (and presumably serving their domestic pot needs).

This app:

- uses more RAM than an electron app

- takes up more disk space than an electron app

- looks no more native than an electron app

- resizing is jankier than an electron app

So where are the advantages again?
But by doing that you're feeling ok with running untrusted code which could easily exploit the JIT. Whereas with native code you have to trust it so you'll only run good trusted code.

I can't tell if it's your intention, but your phrasing blames patients for taking drugs prescribed by doctors. We need the medical community to understand this and stop prescribing. Fluoroquinolones have misleading and false safety profiles that make it hard for a patient to truly evaluate the risk. Doctors need to understand how these drugs work, because if they did, they wouldn't prescribe them.
You're thinking of code-first ORMs (to use the EF terminology), where you write classes and the tool maps them to tables and queries.

These GraphQL tools, however, act a lot like a database-first ORM, where you provide a database and the tool generates code in a different paradigm (OO for ORMs, Graph QL here). It is indeed the opposite direction, but ORMs can work that way too.
Thankfully I was able to come in just DOLLARS under AMT on an early exercise/89b scenario on my first IPO (didn't have any major deductions at the time), and with the rise of the AMT cap it should save my butt 2nd time around.

Deep Neural Networks for Software Security Fuzzing
What about making a website people can enter the price of past procedures, their insurance plan and note where it was done. Then you could help people comparison shop before hand by showing typical prices.
Thanks for the link.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is still dirty code in the source, but then again Exzap seems decently professional so he might know better.

As I suspected, Patreon had a good bit to do with this, although he underplayed its significance and overplayed the significance of keeping a tight leash on the codebase.

I have my reservations about closed source software due to hidden nasties, but I also don't generally compile my emulators from checksum-verified source code, so it's somewhat a moot point.

As long as Exzap holds true to his promise about eventually making the entire thing open source, or even better, slowly open sources various aspects of the engine over time, then I will respect his decision to keep the source closed—Even if I don't agree with it.
There's some things that definitely are going to be uncertain, but there are a -lot- of procedures that could be given a price tag. I can't even get info like, "How much will it cost to have an ultrasound? Not doing anything after that, but just for the ultrasound itself?" I've had somewhat similar issue with getting bloodwork done too. A lot of stuff can be broken down into smaller parts and put a price tag on that. Sure, it might take 5 years to diagnose, but that can be broken down into (5 hrs with doctor examination, 10 bloodwork tests with XYZ factors, 4 checkups, 10 months of X pill, etc).

Unfortunately it's not that simple, the hospital doesn't want to charge everyone the same amount. They want to get the most they can out of everyone. Insurance companies want to pay less. Government laws get thrown in.

There's a lot of issues with healthcare but knowing the general actual cost of standard procedures isn't one of the big problems. That's worked down to an art, after all insurance companies have to estimate that cost.
