What's wrong with that? That's how healthcare costs are controlled, by pushing patients to the less costly alternative.

If you lived in another country with single payer healthcare, it would be the same, if not more of a push to cheaper drugs.
I'm not sure if tracking and identifying individual humans from orbit is even optically feasible, but it can certainly be done for cars. And tanks.

Such a thing would be used by both sides in urban conflicts to "see round corners" and track targets.

> where they determine how "good" a person's life is

No they don't. This is not true.

> This is not, as you are implying, saying "this treatment is ineffective or harmful, so we won't pay for it". It is literally saying "we understand that this treatment would extend this person's life by 5 years, but it costs £50,000, and based on their condition, we're only willing to spend £25,000 to extend their life by 5 years.

This is just not true. Find just one single medication that i) extends life by 5 years ii) costs just £10,000 per year and iii) has been banned.

I meant the supply chain for their data center. But I won’t split hairs.. yes support site compromise is a supplier problem and probably a factor in Apple shifting away. But clearly Apple had more protections in place for their production systems than what some dev installed in the design lab. So I think Apple’s denial is fair.
In other words, everyone had the same bad data: The investors, the marketers, and the publishers all thought video was a winner.
Good job. I liked it.

I find it interesting that there are no comments about how SV culture and ethos compare to Gandhi's ideas, as described in the article, on morality and how to achieve a better world.
I think you're misinterpreting those last quotes. It says that sexual offenders are less likely to reoffend than other violent criminals.
My favorite game, but I hate needing to start over so often because of performance issues. My 6700K just throws the towel when the city gets big.
I think the problem will be apps with a DoH service hardwired. There wouldn't be anything for me to point anywhere short of patching the app.

Yes, apps could theoretically already do this today if the developers are willing to run their own endpoints. However, my guess is this will become vastly easier to do when there are already public DoH endpoints available to connect to.
The other comments are all right, I just want to rephrase this is bit. Neither quotes are wrong, per se.

This part:

> Maybe there's something I'm not understanding, but I thought the point of DH was you could exchange something even when other people are listening

DH does protect you against people listening. It doesn't help if they can actively change what you hear. Passive eavesdroppers are thwarted, but an active MitM attack is not, which is where authenticating the other end comes in.

The common example of DH I've seen is that you can establish a secret key with someone in a crowded room, with everyone overhearing your conversation. In that example, our "authentication" is that we can visually see the other person and we recognize them (or at least, we want to communicate with that person).
In theory, yes. I was looking to build a new rig, I do a lot of video. I'm running a 2697v2 and 3930k in another (both built around the same time, around ~5-6 years ago). To be honest, I can't really tell much of a difference in using those for those heavy video editing and fx work vs threadripper and newer Xeons I'm using at other places. I'm not saying they're not faster, but there's not much of a noticable, if at all, difference in using those machines.
I had an uncle who was quite well off and ran an exotic car garage in the US. He had all the insurance, etc. His wife got cancer, insurance wouldn't cover some of the treatment. She died, he went bankrupt, then killed himself.

I'm glad I live in a country where I literally don't even think about treatment or care, it's just not something I worry about. I've had a few relatives in NZ who've had cancer, they've all had excellent care which prolonged their lives and when they passed they didn't leave their survivors with the financial strain in addition to the heartache of losing a loved one.
> Either Apple was hacked, they know, and are denying, which is evidence of them being under the thumb of U.S. national security.

You'd think the accusers would be able to produce the chip if that were the case.

> Or, they were hacked and an internal team knows and Cook doesn't, which is evidence of U.S. national security having powerful influence inside of Apple.

More plausible but again - there should be hard evidence of this.

One of the most significant ones is with constant network dropouts. I'm not talking about Wifi or some weird and wonderful adapter either. Wired ethernet on an Intel i219 - constant dropouts and when you're browsing (e.g. with Firefox) it regularly fails to resolve the host and/or load a page. I've tested this and confirmed it is a problem in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Neon.

Another issue is with the Gnome version of Ubuntu (doesn't appear in Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Neon etc). When you install BitWarden into Firefox, any time you tab into the password field, it crashes the plugin. Sounds like a problem with the plugin, except it isn't. It's known that Ubuntu packaged an old and/or incompatible library that causes it, and they didn't make any attempt to fix it. Meanwhile, Fedora, Elementary, other flavours of Ubuntu, and Debian all work perfectly with Firefox and Bitwarden.

They may be little things, but they aren't edge cases. They're usability 101 for normal desktop users, and they should just work. I understand though that Ubuntu does "just work" for millions of other users, and I hope that continues to be the case.
Notice and comment is required by the Administrative Procedure Act for rule-makings, not so the agency can solicit peoples' opinions, but to gather relevant legal and policy arguments and data.

In fact, if an agency said "we picked rule A because that is what the most people wanted," that would probably be an error that could warrant reversal of the rule in court. The whole point of agencies is that they're experts insulated from the political process. Their job is to analyze the law and the data to reach a reasoned conclusion (e.g. by conducting a cost-benefit analysis). Courts will reverse an agency if they engage in fallacious or erroneous reasoning. Deciding that an option is better because it is more popular would be such an error.

Let's just say the Bloomberg reporting is accurate for the sake of discussion. They claimed it wasn't ONLY Apple, but also the NSA, CIA, military and other critical defense/intelligence systems used some of these boards. Do we think those "entities" wouldn't do whatever they had to do in order to keep that secret, legal or not, to preserve national security? What would the public response be if everyone knew our major national security systems were breached? I think it would cause a panic immensely larger than if we knew Apple was breached.

I do agree with others that Apple has a hell of a lot to lose if this story proves to be true, but I think that's really more of a footnote compared to what will happen if the article proves to be true in its entirety. The data Apple has is nowhere near as critical as the data the NSA/CIA/MIC have.

There is perhaps a difference between a pilot that requires active work from the client (integrations, friction) and pilots that are passive (adding users to a SAAS website).

In the latter, adding non-free price would be a better indicator of buying intent. Perhaps that is what the article writer had in mind. In the former, though, which is where my comments come from, being willing to do the pilot is already displaying a great deal of buying intent, so adding a price on top is a net negative.
My understanding is yes, we commit to the log in batches, but abort conflicts at the transaction level. So only the conflicts have to suffer the retry loop, everything else is durably committed.

I think parent was describing combination of box-like aesthetics with the unpleasantness that is concrete.

I think you may be mistaken - domes are perhaps a better utilisation per unit of usable space.

Also, it's definitely not the case that houses must be cubical, for any reason(s), let alone just to attempt to maximise the ratio of materials per unit of area / volume.

I'm not sure "genetic superiority" is in his list of claims. But in any case, going back to the original point, there's some real muddling of terminology here.

In fact, here's some more additional feedback for you. What you're doing is just about the most fucking unethical thing I have ever heard. I genuinely hope that nobody trusts you with their personal financial data.
On a flip side, in developing countries, there aren't that many homelesses because, sadly, we don't think about them as equal.

They wouldn't be allowed to hang out along the streets like what happens in US. They will get picked up and will be forced to move and etc. We usually have a place called Slum for extremely poor people. They will need to make a living themselves. If they don't, I'm not sure where they end up (death, maybe).

Japan also doesn't think much about homeless people (https://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2013/12/30/yaku...)

Other people have explained why this doesn't stop Eve on its own.

It's maybe obstructive to walk though what happens in TLS 1.3

Alice sends somebody her random DH key share. She addressed it to Bob but has no guarantee it isn't intercepted.

Somebody sends Alice their key share back - so now Alice and whoever this is has a shared key. All further traffic is encrypted.

Whoever it is sends Bob's certificate. A cert is a public document so this proves nothing on its own, but...

Then is the important step, they use Bob's private key to prove that they saw this whole conversation so far by signing a transcript of the whole thing including the key shares.

Once she receives the signature Alice can conclude this is Bob.
> For gaming alone, current games are barely using 6 threads, so a 2700X is complete overkill with 16 threads.

But then so is the 9900K, or even the 9700K. If you legitimately don't have anything that can use more than six threads, why are you paying for eight cores? Both vendors offer processors with fewer cores for less money.
I share your concern. In addition to working to contribute my tech knowledge in alignment with my values I’ve also got very curious in alternative models for people to collaborate and work together (and share capital and resources). Haven’t find the one true magic answer but my enquiries have led me to run and be involved in many amazing organisations.

ReConsider Havkerspaces, RandomHacks and BarCamps and be curious on those sorts of models and how you could get involved/grow/evolve them.

This is such a niche subcategory of distributed databases [1], that it's a miracle even a few of them exist and you want more implementations. Intuitively distributed systems try to avoid consensus/coordination, as doing those things over public internet is not that useful.

The Asterix comics have one truly endearing quality: they appeal to vastly different age groups.

In other words, it can be read as a child as well as later in life and still remain enjoyable.

Some of the jokes and drawings (eg Romans getting their a..es handout out to them by Obelix) will make a 6 year old laugh, while others like "je suis meduse" will strongly tickle adults catching the cultural reference.

A treasure, especially the ones written by Goscinny.
I somehow read that as "medical terrorism".
>However, talking about facts that have occurred is ALWAYS my legal right. This has nothing to do with the crime the person committed, or the time served, or any other punishment. I am allowed to talk about events, and the legal process is entirely separate.

It's only your legal right because the social contract says that it is. You can imagine a social contract that says once someone has been to prison for a crime, it is in fact against the law to refer to that crime ever having occurred. This is not advocating that reality, just suggesting it's a possible to conceive of a justice system with that set of values.

From their site:

> When You sign up for our service, You agree that each pack will be a surprise.

The big difference is they pick what you are sent, rather than you deciding. Going through their signup questionnaire on their site, they literally do not have enough information to know what I will or won't like. It's hard to even see what exactly is in their inventory to know if what they have is even in the right ballpark. Furthermore, they also don't have stores in major cities so going and swapping on demand isn't an option. As I am not a customer, I can't say for sure, but it sounds (from reading their site) like it is roughly a week between you shipping something back and getting your next shipment, especially for someone on the East coast (they seem to be LA based), so it's purely a way to augment your clothing once in a while, not what RtR is trying to accomplish for women.

End result, broadly speaking I guess somewhat similar, but not what I’m looking for personally.
Before you do, if you have money available to throw at it, I'd probably go for a commercial rig first that can kick out 100W and start there. Yaesu FT-450D is the sort of thing that's a decent "first rig".

If you can't afford it, go for the QSX! I may replace my commercial rig with one if it's any good.
>Similarly, I once read something about how hard it was to translate the Discworld books into other languages, while maintaining a roughly comparable level of jokes.

Yes, but you have to consider the NUMA-nodes and how good threading is on the two systems.

10-cores x2 == 20-cores on 2x NUMA nodes.

2x EPYC 7281 basically gives you 8x NUMA nodes. Your threads are really spread out, so its bad for major workloads like Databases (which may communicate heavily, and also benefit from the "combined" L3 caches on the Intel Xeon Silver setup)

In many ways, I'd argue that the "real" competitor to the Dual-Xeon Silver 4114 setup is the single-socket EPYC 7401P for $1200ish.

The EPYC 7401P gives you 4x NUMA nodes with 24-cores / 48-threads total, fits into a single-socket motherboard (way cheaper). This minimizes the NUMA crosstalk issue, still gets you a respectable 8-channel memory system and a large core-count.

The EPYC 7401P is the price/performance champ. Still, AVX512 or Database purposes may keep dual-Xeon Silvers in the running.

If your interest in my well being does not include listening to me talking about my illness for the next twenty minutes, your interest is feigned. This is what it’s all about in countries that don’t bother much with small talk, and your example with asking about someone owning a pen (while interesting in other aspects) isn’t really a serviceable metaphor to that.
> Anyone who claims that Prop C is a matter of being “for the homeless or against them” is selling a facile falsehood. While well-intentioned, it is San Francisco’s largest-ever tax increase, and comes with no systemic changes or effective accountability.

So great to see Astérix mentioned here. They were a big part of my childhood (along with other staples of franco-belgian BD such as Tintin), and I expect also part of the childhoods of millions of people across Europe and beyond.

I was fortunate enough to read them in a translation to a Romance language, so many jokes carried over easily, and the overall sound and rhythm and "feel" (maybe there's a better word) of the dialogue was preserved as well. To achieve that across such a different language family deserves even more praise!
Out of the 17 at least one says that the Bloomberg’s article “has no sense.” Apparently Bloomberg first just asked him “what kind of attack were possible” he explained to them that and then he reads the article that claims that exactly that kind of attack was actually performed. But he claims that for the stated goals that attack would be the least practical:

Weren't people spending more time on video on Facebook due to Facebook prioritizing video and pages turning still images into videos of still images?

Anyone else know what I'm referring to here? You see an image someone shared, but it's a video, so you click it, and it's still a still image, because page admins were trying to game the system.
"Assurancetourix" is just fantastic. It was several years after first reading that my child brain got it.
This approach doesn't prevent doing things well - there's lots to like about eventing and async processing.

The distribution of the business logic among asynchronous actors (the serverless message-driven elements) will likely increase the potential for consistency issues at runtime and might increase the cognitive burden on the team at dev time ("where's the right place to put function X", "how do I test scenarios now that they're distributed", "what should my unit do if a collaborator didn't process its events in a timely fashion or at all").

These are all tractable problems, but problems nonetheless.
I read both Asterix and Tintin growing up in the US, and love them, but I've never laid any claims to being normal.

It is for the entire population. I personally know people on welfare that received advanced new treatments and survived "terminal" cancer to this day.

The overall cancer survival rate in the US for males is around 67%, which is extremely high even by developed world standards. It wouldn't be possible to have a survival rate that high if a large fraction of the population was excluded from treatment.

Well, Bush did say this ended in 1976 [1] "In February 1976, George H. W. Bush, the recently appointed Director of the CIA, announced a new policy: 'Effective immediately, the CIA will not enter into any paid or contract relationship with any full-time or part-time news correspondent accredited by any U.S. news service, newspaper, periodical, radio or television network or station.'{13} He added that the CIA would continue to 'welcome' the voluntary, unpaid cooperation of journalists."

So there you go. Proof positive.
