DMT trip reports point to a use of psychedelics beyond therapy. Since so many users describe the same thing -- points of contact with other beings-- we can hypothesize that DMT gives us access to other dimensions or aspects of space and time. But how we move from subjective reporting to a scientific theory on this, I have no idea. (I have never tried DMT, it sounds terrifying)
> Users should expect that the web is safe by default

I don't expect this of anything else in my life. Why in the world would I expect the web to be safe?

To be clear: the only thing this is assuring is that your connection is secure. Your content may not be. Hell, the web server may not be. There's no way a browser can know these things. And they're going to assure the user they're secure by default?

Lots of phishing sites use valid connections to trick you into giving your SSN, credit card, and other data. This is not safe or secure. But the browser is telling me it is.
Yes, I think you are right. In this sense, high school prepares children/teens for the real life really well. :-(

Given the current state of affairs, it's beyond me why anyone would use any new Google data-collecting device. People are doing the opposite - trying to degoogleize their lives. It's hard, very hard. We, the aware part of the society, should educate users and discourage yet another Google data-collection channel.

The problem is to determine what matters. It sounds nice but especially at the bigger companies which measure pretty much everything today it's one of the reasons that there is no creativity. It optimizes short-term goals (and most of the time focus on money/engagement) and discourages long-term goals or riskier approaches. IMO that's because innovative companies turn into optimized earning machines but produce little useful.
Well, the only entity who knows about a product's existence is the product creator. Without them marketing it (organic or otherwise) nobody else would ever know.
For better or worse, Rust has a lot more built into its type system, including semantics for type safe generics and safe memory management. This makes it harder to write a correct Rust program, but also it makes it harder to write an _incorrect_ Rust program.
There's nothing lost from keeping the green lock and adding the red "not secure" warning in place of having no warning at all.

There's no reason to maintain a "no-indicator" state, UX or otherwise. Keep the green lock for sites which implement it correctly.

peterwwillis makes a good point in another top level comment -- and my own research in securing products suggests much of the same, specifically that many users don't assume things are secure. I'd extend that argument by stating most users don't assume things are insecure either unless the security of the system is specifically called out.

In other words, it's generally out-of-mind.

Considering this, you should be keeping green locks and red warnings going forward and never having a no-warning state except perhaps on private networks where the security of the connection is to be determined by the team which owns that private network. There's an entire industry of "Secured By" badges which CAs managed to market to draw attention to connection security in a space where standard indicators should be serving that role based on standard--not marketing--metrics.

(This will probably prepend a later letter I'll write up about Google Security's unilateral changes the past few years. This and HPKP are two that come to mind.)

Edit: A good point was raised by twitter user @akanygren on this topic, notably that since there's no assurance other vendors will share this same approach, this will immediately sow UX confusion. The corollary I'd attach to that is that with Chrome as a plurality player eliminating a decision-point in their UI, other browsers now gain a marketable competitive advantage by labeling secure connections as such and are dis-incentivized to follow suit because they stand to benefit by maintaining some variant of the status quo.

I don't know what standards are like in the U.S., but at least where I went to university a good 30% (of those who were in the top 20% of the highly selective entrance exam) ended up getting kicked out because they didn't pass enough courses in their first or second year.

Yes, for some people it was an inability to concentrate, but I also know a few who put in more than the minimum hours but for some reason it just didn't 'click'.

Did you have WiFi on? Several companies have basically mapped (wardriving) nearly every wifi spot in the US and have correlated that with GPS. The vast majority of these wifi spots never, or rarely, move. By using several known wifi locations and their given latency, you can accurately predict location without cellular or GPS, like, down to the tens of meters.

As a 1999 graduate, I can verify the "College is the only way to succeed" sentiment from that time. Most of my class had applied for and been accepted well before we graduated.

If you can't speak to anyone there to try to improve things, you're going to have to sit down with your wife and discuss the money / fulfillment / personal sanity / job security dynamics and how it's going to affect your family unit. And I do mean "the unit" - this is affecting everyone in your household. If you're decent at your craft, a single short-term line item on your resumé shouldn't all that harmful to your career - make sure your wife understands that. Convey to her that you need at least an hour or so of peace when you get home to decompress and strategize for routines to make this possible. Remember to acknowledge and show gratitude for her sacrifice in helping you through all this.

UCC § 2-403 states: When goods have been delivered under a transaction of purchase the purchaser has such power even though ... the delivery was procured through fraud punishable as larcenous under the criminal law.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2/2-403

Basically, if an employee to other person who was "entrusted" with these goods by the manufacturer sells them, then innocent purchasers take full legal title. The good-faith purchaser is now the legal owner even if they purchased the goods from someone who wasn't a legal owner. The goods don not belong to the manufacturer. This is specifically to protect innocent people from debates between manufacturers and distributors, even where those distributors have stolen goods.

The knock-on effect of this is that people who buy things in good faith from distributors don't have to worry about manufacturers (or police) raiding their homes ... which appears to be exactly what this manufacturer is doing by bricking these devices.

Or the most obvious and common choice:

Also, of your alternatives, only one makes a lick of sense. Both

> Travel the world

and

> Use some of the capital to start a small online business

are 1) not actually options for anyone who has to take out loans for college, and 2) FAR more financially risky than the college route.

(2) is the most important point. Is college a great option? Often, no. However, are the plentiful better options? Often, no. (And the ones that do exist don't scale... not everyone can be a plumber.)

The impossible image
I'm almost entirely self taught. Started learning programming on my own on an Amiga 500 when I was 13. Dropped out of high-school since that way of learning did not appeal to me. Never had a lack of job offerings and I now earn the same (or more) than my CS and engineering graduate co-workers. A degree is not what matters, being able to learn and do the job is the important thing. How you gained your knowledge should be irrelevant as long as you do truly have it.
Ask HN: How to Buy America Stock from Nigeria?
They're probably just overworked.
It is typical in the United States. In part due to the nature of employment law. In part due to employment law making the legally conservative approach normative. I would say your experience is not entirely beyond possibility here when dealing with a small company and an unadvertised position. It is unlikely at an organization of substantial size with an advertised position.
Like any commodity,it's worth what people are willing to pay for it.

If your plan is to start a restaurant chain and get rich then a degree would not be profitable. But if your plan is to make a mediocre salary as an office worker then you need a college degree to make any kind of long term profit.

Not everyone should get a degree just like not everyone should buy a house,get married and have kids. It depends on who you are,your enviornment and priorities.
> I'm surprised mugshots are other such aren't sealed until after a conviction.

That sounds closer and closer to secret arrest. The public has a right to know who the government has arrested and why.

By sealing them until after conviction, it makes it sound like the mugshot is punishment. It isn't. It's a public record to check the government against secretly arresting people (or intentionally arresting the wrong people).
I'm unsure if you're very absorbed into classifying AI as a hostile system that you're missing the speciousness in your own self..

This is a really simple and insightful comment and one which resonates with my experiences. We are all swayed by our loved ones, friends and family, and sometimes give their opinions extra weight. It is so important to make sure that you do things that set your life plan on a path you like. Otherwise you will end up writing posts like this poor guy on HN.

Personally I decided not to follow certain career paths earlier in life, for complicated reasons which involve other people and their preferences. I've regretted that series of decisions ever since. It took awhile to realize this, and it's too late to go back.

So that's life, right? Some times you make your bed and have to sleep in it. But we can always change the future, which starts right now, every second of the day. I found a few hobbies which give me some of what I was missing.

And exercise is always underrated. When I run into difficult times an exercise regimen is most helpful. It's a meditation of sorts and much more.
What's even more absurd is how much funds in ETH are there in these accounts.

And the fact that the browser can't assure any other security besides transport security on its end is exactly why it shouldn't be displaying an indicator saying "Secure," when all it means is "In this particular way, it is not insecure; for everything else I have no idea." If it knows it's insecure in a particular way, it should display a warning or possibly an error. If it doesn't, it's meaningless to claim "Secure." That's how the rest of the world works: the State Department gives you warnings about high-risk travel areas, but it doesn't say that any place is safe and crimes won't happen to you there.

> There are plenty of countries that do have MD programs that the United States recognizes, like Canada for instance.

Are there any other countries besides Canada in that list? As far as I know, Canada- and US-educated doctors can practice anywhere in Canada or the US. Everyone else has to be "re-certified," which includes doing a residency in Canada or US. It is very competitive to get a residency placement. The results is that if you have not done a residency in the US or Canada, the rule of thumb is that it takes 10 years to get licensed to practice and you have a 10% chance of success.

In other words, the problem is not that licensing boards don't accept degrees from other countries, but that they don't accept residencies. And getting a residency spot is so competitive and such a long shot that few people can successfully do it.
Of course there are social downsides to free education! Education may become free for you, but it will not become free for the society.

In the US, you can make a citizen's arrest if you are in the presence of a crime being committed (or if a felony was committed not in the citizen's presence), but you can't use too much force (varies by state). Also, if you're wrong, you can face charges. For example, if you lock someone in a room to arrest them while the police are coming, and the person wasn't doing anything wrong, you could face wrongful imprisonment charges.
Not Paying Attention in Class? China’s “Smart Eye” Will Snitch on You
Given the past 2 months of rage against Facebook, I don't understand how it's rational for any social media company to have a public API anymore.

If you go back look at when Facebook actually changed their API to stop the stuff that CA was doing, you'll see similar comments about how it's "killing the developer ecosystem". But ultimately it was a good thing that they closed those loopholes.
If by "laughingstock", you mean of the millions of lives that his foundation has saved from infant mortality, thus giving those folks the opportunity to smile and laugh, then I agree with that sentiment.
That looks like a big difference if you take the numbers out of context. But consider how much the economy has changed since the 70s: there has been a doubling of output through revolutions in technology, finance, energy, medicine, everything. Equitable growth would be 100% growth over that period.

True, there is a margin of error between different methodologies. CPI shows about half a percent more inflation per year than PCE. Similar arguments apply to measurements of climate change. They miss the forest for the trees.
Depends what is more important to you.

If it's for anonimity I've been told PIA is a good option.

If it's to bypass georestriction and protect your traffic from being snooped by your ISP or any clients that could attempt to sniff your traffic, hosting your own on a VPS is a good option. OpenVPN, OCserv or Outline (based on shadowsocks) are some options.
