I don't mind the downvotes, I just wanted to encourage the author (since I know he'd be reading it) and everybody else who are fighting for people's privacy. I realize this kind of encouragement is usually more welcome at Show HN, but well, WireGuard are already so big and has achieved so much that this is basically a Show HN for them.

Edit: hopefully it goes without saying that the downvotes are/were aimed at me for stating the obvious (with little relevance to the topic), rather than people actually disagreeing with the what I said.
Am I correct that they asked the same people the same questions 3 times?

It's no surprise that the 3rd time the answers were the best. I'd expect this to happen even if there was no debate (if not to the same degree).

> Each participant was provided with pen and an answer sheet linked to their seat number. The event’s speaker (author M.S.) conducted the crowd from the stage (Fig. 1A). In the first stage of the experiment, the speaker asked eight questions (Supplementary Table 1) and gave participants 20 seconds to respond to each of them (stage i1, left panel in Fig. 1A). Then, participants were instructed to organize in to groups of five based on a numerical code in their
answer sheet (see Methods). The speaker repeated four of the eight questions and gave each group one minute to reach a consensus (stage c, middle panel in Fig. 1A
). Finally, the eight questions were presented again from stage and participants had 20 seconds to write down their individual estimate, which gave them a chance
to revise their opinions and change their minds (stage i2, right panel in Fig. 1A). Participants also reported their confidence in their individual responses in a scale from 0 to 10.

Ah, another translation of "Think Python"! Laurent Rosenfeld originally wanted to translate "Think Python" to French, but then decided to translate it to Perl 6: Think Perl 6 (https://greenteapress.com/wp/think-perl-6/). Which in turn got translated to Spanish by Luis F. Uceta: Piensa en Perl 6 (https://uzluisf.gitlab.io/piensaperl6/). Where will it stop? :-)
That's absolutely hilarious!
Hijacking history is a pattern used by malware and trying to stop it has broken some honest websites. This happened with Flash, with Java applets, with popups. It shouldn't be a surprise. As I see it, you're considering the malware an acceptable sacrifice for having SPAs work slightly better (for what you value as better and I don't).

Websites as apps will continue to work, they'll either lose this functionality or use normal links - the kind that are good enough for Facebook et al. Or for Hacker News.

>Are you saying SPA authors shouldn't expose URLs for different navigation paths to the browser? I think you would be surprised at all the places your browser experience breaks, like not being able to restore tabs, or copy links to interesting news stories.

No. All of these work with links. Aren't you trying to fit a SPA shaped piece in a website shaped hole?
This is what every software should do. I don't care if software isn't free or open source, but file formats should be documented so that they can be read later or processed by other tools.

The pricing of hosted MongoDB solutions is high especially as volumes increase. The last I checked, disk space doesn't free up when you drop documents or collections and that adds to hosted cost unless you find time to fix the issue through manual intervention. This costing is moving us away from MongoDB in the future.
They want tubes and the tube sound, not just the sound. I can understand, it's a matter if authenticity rather than practicality. Just like a kit car replica versus an original car. The original will always be more authentic, and there will be some who care more than others.
We don't have direct democracy - we're only voting among a small number of propositions, which have already been narrowed down by very select groups.

Of course the plebes get their info through narrow, distorted filters, but I don't think it's the same here.

We don't ask the public to set policy, we ask them to pick a team that will set policy, which is very different.

As I understand it, they're owned by different entities; the street lights/traffic poles are often owned by local authorities (in the UK) while manhole covers are owner by the utilities.

*ultimate cause

They definitely can cause it as shown in multiple inoculation experiments unless there is some other kind of contamination happening - which is unlikely.
Their presence in high enough numbers also starts the runaway process.

But those misfolded proteins do not start making themselves on their own...

And if the cascade is indeed immune related then stopping progression should be potentially as easy as targeted immune suppression combined with amyloid treatments. (Not easy at all but easier than doing it outside the brain.)

And obviously getting the cause too if possible. So far, few successes in treating, say, later stage Lyme disease...

Very different topic, but sure. Many well functioning legal systems in the world don't have it.
VBScript is basically dynamically typed VB6. It's not a nice language - it has all the worst parts of VB6, and then adds its own. Take a look at some of Eric Lippert's old blog posts from the days when he was working on VBScript:

To give one example, that is somewhat relevant here because it describes one of the biggest misfeatures of the language - default properties - that is used in the exploit:

If there were more such votes, especially in the EU with regard to policy - then Brexit would have never happened.

There is quite a fundamental 'scope creep' going on in the EU, combined with unpopular views among the elite, which is causes massive tension that would not be there otherwise.

A properly elected executive, more consensus WRT voters, and possibly more direct participation would be better not worse.

All of the EU's many crises are self-inflicted, it's in permanent 'put out the fire mode' - which is consistent with pre-revolutionary situations.

I'm not sure how well the paper applies to democracy.

On the surface, the points system is how they do it, yes.

However, the reality is that the system is completely rorted and broken. You can be completely lacklustre, and as long as you study at any Australian college, University or degree mill, then stay in the country long enough by stringing visas together, you can eventually get Permanent Residency.

Most people study in Australia for work purposes, since the student visa allows anyone to work 20 hours a week (and most work beyond that, paid cash). It is for this reason that Australia has 600,000 - 800,000 international students at any one time, the second highest of any country on Earth behind the USA (1 million).

The Australian education system is simply in the business of selling Australian Passports to foreigners.

Read this account from an Economics Professor in Australia:

https://twitter.com/DrCameronMurray/status/10664640842440581...

Some excerpts:

"12. Halving the number of international students would keep all the good students, boost standards for all, and remove the visa scams.

13. But this would remove $4.5billion per year of revenue to the universities. (7/n)

14. In sum, universities are being degraded so they can be used as a back-door immigration program, and no one at the senior levels of universities or major political parties want to change it."
Google has also become quite disgraceful for this - they've added prompts to their mobile apps to get you to install their other mobile apps. For example, when you click a link in their Gmail iOS app: "Do you want to open this link in Chrome [Install] or Safari [Continue]?"

I hope whichever product manager and UX designer contributed this are cursed to a life of either scalding or freezing showers caused by incomprehensible taps in every hotel they visit.

At this point, it's probably safe to assume that every feature in Windows that hasn't been touched for the last decade has severe security problems. And it's not only Microsoft -- maybe their approach to backwards compatibility makes them especially vulnerable, but similar things have happened in the free software ecosystem as well. It's basically a very insidious form of bitrot.

So what's the lesson here? Aggressively remove old features, as you suggest? Rewrite everything every few years? Software has become way too complex to closely audit everything forever...

Hidden Things You Don’t Know About Internet Explorer
The overall degree of innumeracy in society is disturbing, but what shocks me is the widespread acceptance of it in polite society. I know people that have spent years obtaining PhDs and almost gleefully admit they aren’t good at math. I don’t mean that they don’t understand what graph isomorphism is; I mean they don’t know how to divide one fraction by another.

The parent article touches on our culture’s writers and journalists treatment of mathematics as a strange, peculiar interest in comparison to say the fine arts. The vast majority of the people we see and hear and read in the popular media seem to reside in a different world where drinking celery juice balances your body’s energy fields.

I’m not the worlds most intelligent guy, but I’m glad to have my friends; they’re smart, funny, and at least half can divide fractions. (or is it two-thirds?)

"Nicest" Theory I've heard recently (think from a Peter Attia talk). That in almost all cases of Alzheimer's there is a broken/reduced glucose-brain-mechanism (Hypo-glucose-metabolism) in the brain, that's why there are a good amount of ppl showing improvement on Keto'based diets. Since the brain can't get enough energy from the normal glucose pathways it has less energy to help clear out plague(tau) and other debris.

Proxying on 443 would 100% work, I can say that without trying.

Democracy is not a vehicle for correctness or efficiency.

It's entire point is to distribute political power to a wide powerbase with a constant churn.

This is to disable known pathologies of entrenched power bases and to discourage social stratification.

Since modern states don't have an entrenched hereditary aristocracy we don't really have a concept of what democracy shields us from, since we've not had to suffer from it - except when we do, we recognize it and shun it.

The social idea was that aristocracy had to be in power since they were the ones with the education. After public schooling became a things, suddenly just being able to read and write is not a distinguishing feature, and having an explicit hereditary elite became a socially untenable construct.

That's not to say that a human society is a fair playing field - but it's not as unjust as in past centuries.

Similarly to vacciness, when democracy works as intended you see only the "bad parts".
Switzerland is close to a direct democracy with a model based on: representative democracy by default but direct as soon and anytime the people feels the subject should be handled so. That system has proven very stable.

> If there were more such votes, especially in the EU with regard to policy - then Brexit would have never happened.

Possibly. I think you're assuming people were interested enough in the EU to partake in such referenda, and that big influential campaigns would not have existed, and that had certain treated been voted down that people would still be content with the EU, and so on. And excluding other issues that possibly led to Brexit like nearly a decade of manufactured austerity.

That seems too much of a leap to conclude that Brexit wouldn't have happened.

They have always been the tool of those that rule this world, whether those rulers be in Wall Street or the Pentagon. Their work cheerleading the world to war is a constant. They side with the interests of capital rather than people. Any aberrations to this, e.g. straying from one political party to another, is still representing and furthering time-old vested interests. Online media has yet to usurp the old timers of dead tree media.
