This can only be a means for the Chinese Communist Party to exert more authoritarian control over it's population. Depending on the actual implementation, I'd compare this to East Germany except in this case, the social credit system replaces the Stasi and their network of informers. If there is no way to opt out of such a system then freedom of thought and action are potentially gone. My question is, how do they justify such a system when the only apparent threat is to the Chinese Communist Party's waning influence and control in this information age.

Yes - it makes private insurance an added luxury product. This is normally how it works where there is a publicly funded universal system. On the other hand the public insurance covers many expensive things very well (e.g cancer treatment) so the private insurance is for things like getting a knee surgery without waiting time where the public system can have 90 days waiting time. Someone like an athlete wouldn’t want to wait that long but for most people it’s acceptable if it keeps premiums (taxes) lower.

The “paying twice for the same thing” is a feature, not a bug. Most people wouldn’t do that of course, meaning they would simply get rid of their private insurance.
Terrible headline but useful article. The real answer is about housing cost and bad zoning policy:

“We’re seeing out-migration of many people from Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, presumably because of the high housing costs,” Benner said. “That out-migration is disproportionately from lower income residents.”

He added that housing costs driving out lower-wage workers “would have become much more pronounced in the last year or two.” Lemus, who said he makes a little more than $30 an hour now, is saving to buy a home — in Arizona, where the cost of living is far lower.

> They care about themselves, their family, maybe their neighborhood, and if you’re really lucky they might care about their country.

Most of that is social construct.

Our biological imperative is too simple for most people to fathom-- if you concern yourself only with the welfare of yourself and your family, you're doing your part for the species by expanding it with viable offspring.

If ensuring the survival of you and yours means paying tribute to the local warlord or toeing a party line, then concern for the neighborhood or country will follow.

But make no mistake, it's not in your interests for the species to thrive. It's in your interests for your own offspring to thrive. Nature can't maintain its balance if the sick and infertile reproduce and the boundless demand for limited resources result in us driving everything else to extinction until we all run around sticking punji knives in each others' guts for lack of food anyway.

It's back up again, and I checked. Right now gcc and some versions of Python are usable for people in the "users" group, but others are not:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jan 2 2018 /usr/pkg/bin/python -> python2.7
-rwx---r-x 1 root users 5952 Nov 12 17:13 /usr/pkg/bin/python2.7
-rwx---r-x 1 root users 1685 Nov 12 17:14 /usr/pkg/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Jan 18 2018 /usr/pkg/bin/python3 -> python3.6
-rwx---r-x 1 root users 7728 Feb 9 2018 /usr/pkg/bin/python3.6
-rwx---r-x 1 root users 3132 Feb 9 2018 /usr/pkg/bin/python3.6-config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5984 Dec 24 01:27 /usr/pkg/bin/python3.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3132 Dec 24 01:27 /usr/pkg/bin/python3.7-config

They seem to use the "users" group to deny execute access to members of that group, but they have some more recently installed/updated packages that they haven't applied such permissions to.

There is the additional membership level MetaARPA, at $9/month which you need to have to have access to tools like git:

$ ls -l /usr/pkg/bin/git
-rwxr-x--- 1 root MetaARPA 2481424 Sep 11 13:50 /usr/pkg/bin/git

The motd mentions that they're testing a NetBSD 8 upgrade right now, which may be why the permissions aren't set up correctly for some of the tools that are supposed to be restricted at the "user" level.

But anyhow, this kind of restriction of use of basic development tools for the free tier makes it kind of useless for what I wanted to use it for, even if the restriction isn't enforced all that well. I could understand if they restricted usage, like disk or CPU, or things like TLS for your home page, and I can understand restricting some outbound networking to prevent abuse, but not providing access to Python and Git in the free tier?

Street safety from gangs and drug traffickers may be better, but property crime is up, and my friends bitch non-stop about used needles, and having to share public space with aggressive homeless people.

Also, 'All the homeless people moving to Vancouver' is a problem, but only a part of it. Most of the non-locals are from small dying towns in the BC interior. They aren't really suited, financially, to dealing with the social problems[1] that result - yet Vancouver would rather close its eyes, and pretend that they don't exist.

Even so, if we sent everyone who isn't originally from Vancouver back to the towns they came from, there would still be a catastrophe of homelessness, overdose deaths, etc.

[1] Yes, it would be much cheaper to provide housing for homeless persons, within their communities, instead of in the most expensive city in Canada. Sadly, nobody in Victoria seems to be keen on fixing this, on a province-wide level. The Liberals didn't care, and the NDP care, but aren't doing anything.

Old experiences were served using dangerous and harmful mechanisms that, in 2019 and beyond, can be exploited remotely to takeover your computer.

Technical experts have demonstrated that they’re able to locate and run older releases of browsers, endangering themselves and others by running them unprotected, directly on their primary devices, without protection. Chrome speaks out against that practice here, and I would expect Firefox did the same during the old-to-new extensions transition.

The only safe way to access old experiences will likely end up being: install and use old browsers in sandboxed virtual machines that discard all changes at shutdown.

While infinite resources would permit browsers to implement virtual machine support for their own older selves, no browser has infinite resources to work with. Happily, since those who desire this most are often technically skilled, my described “set up a safe virtual machine” is easy and realistic.

TLDR: Please don’t run old versions of any browser on your primary computers. Use sandboxed virtual machines if you must so at all. The web is far too dangerous and those reading this comment are far too likely to have exploitable commit access to the world somehow.
I have always wondered how they manage security on these systems.

My long term hobby project is a web desktop for Linux. Security wise it is much the same as letting people use a shell from https. It would be nice to have a system to allow people to try it out and have a couple of hundred meg or so of persistent storage.

It's quite a daunting prospect, and such fun if you get it wrong.

There's a trade-off between assigning IDs up front or randomly generating IDs inside a large space. Randomly generating IDs can be done without a central arbiter, but doesn't provide any real guarantee against collisions. People punt on that problem by making their random IDs larger and hoping for the best.

Legalization would provide some additional things, such as standard dose/strength/purity quality-control, i.e. people would know what they are buying and not get a suprise OD by a fentanyl cut that was not adequately mixed. It would also make it easier for treatment providers to operate, get insurance, take insurance/medicaid or cash payments without tainting themselves with "drug money" and potentially having their assets forfeited. In theory, taxes on the sales could fund treatment/recovery.

..then ask them what their ice cream is and make sure they get some. And maybe most importantly, be up-front that it's broccoli and that nobody likes it - but it's important.

Ask HN: Best way to prepare for an Onsite interview at a Startup?
I'm a New Grad (as of 2wks ago), and I've gotten pretty far in pipelines but never to an onsite with a company. I don't come from a solid DS & A program so I've been working on my own. I've been able to schedule an onsite with a startup two weeks from today. The onsite was described as a mixture of talking about my background, technical interviews, and whiteboard coding. In looking to maximize the possibility of getting an offer, what can I do to prepare that would be very beneficial? Also since it's a startup, what type of questions would I be most likely see in an onsite interview?
Compare with Go's language spec, which is written in a formal (but readable) style with little math. I wouldn't want it to have examples because it's good that it's concise.

One way to start might be to have an official extended cheat sheet. A cheat sheet needn't explain everything, but it should list every language feature available. The idea is to give you a definitive "inventory" of everything available so you can search for answers elsewhere if you see something you don't understand. It should also be brief enough for the language maintainers to commit to updating it when they enable new features.

As far as peanut oil goes, it's actually not that much lighter than water by volume (91%), but it has half the specific heat, so it stores 45% as much heat per unit volume.

I couldn't find a reliable source for the phase-change energy for peanut oil, but it would have to be pretty high to make up for the difference.

> There is no shortage.

The article claims that employment offices do not have enough job seekers to fill the roles. If true, this would suggest a shortage, and an Econ 101 notion of supply-and-demand that disregards time isn't evidence to the contrary.

> If employers want more workers then they can just pay more, or offer better working conditions.

This is irrelevant. For example, if low-wage or middle-wage workers have left the area, and the remaining workers have full employment, this would cause a shortage at the present time. Raising wages may attract new workers to move to the area over time, but until that happens, there will be a shortage.

The Emergence of First-Order Logic
How does one clean up a snarl of used, uncapped drug syringes like this picture shows?

I imagine you could use a snow shovel and a long push broom to get them into the shovel, but where do you put them afterwards? A garbage bag seems to be a bad idea, as it'd conceal the neon orange warning color of the syringes, while allowing the points to stab and infect anyone who handled the bag. Do you put them directly in a metal garbage can?

Afterwards how do garbage collectors in SF deal with this? Are thick leather gloves and maybe chaps enough to protect people?
I'd disagree with you on both. ID generated with a secure source of randomness can be used as an opaque access token, e.g. to share some temporary object via e-mailed link.

At the same time, optimizing the speed of generation that much is not necessary in many use cases, when objects are created much less often than accessed - performance impact won't be noticeable. It will likely be faster than another common choice for the source of IDs - a sequence in remote database.
>Umm, because you wanted one of the many substitutable options.

Even for total commodities which are perfectly substitutable the fact remains that offering terms (including of course price) are an integral part of the product. If I'm selecting between two containers of flour that I knew were truly perfectly the same and chose the one that was cheaper, that's not random either. The terms under which someone makes a photo available is part of choosing one. They could have chosen one that was put into public domain or something like Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International, or that someone was willing to just give for free, but didn't.

And of course in real life even our most basic commodities often merely have smaller differences, but still differences. Some brands may still be more reliable, or offer specific differentiation, or just make people feel subjectively better. This is hardly some new discovery of human psychology.

Which gets into this:

>You didn’t care which one, because they were largely indistinguishable from one another, so you chose one randomly.

Not that you actually support an assertion that the company Thunderball Clothing did in fact just use a random number generator and somehow got from that to his photo, but even if you did that would weaken your argument, not support it. Because if the products in question are indistinguishable, that's all the more reason to go with whatever has the most favorable terms. In a less competitive market there becomes more of an argument that someone's terms could have elements that were unconscionable, but in a commodified one "take it or leave it" is at its most justified.

Again, I don't think you or anyone else actually chooses at random very often. "Largely indistinguishable" is not "indistinguishable". Making a decision tree super simple ("lowest price wins" or "the first one that comes up in search" say) isn't random either. But even if you do choose randomly, that doesn't give the moral (let alone legal) right to just take it on your terms.
The solution is to build enough housing such that the market rate is affordable. Then, landlords need to keep rents low enough to be competitive with other apartments.

I thought Quake Champions would be the best chance for the genre to be revived. With how popular LoL and DotA and Overwatch are, it seemed like a mix of the traditional arena shooter with special abilities/spells would be a good way to attract that audience. It hasn't. Maybe because Bethesda's efforts still lean too heavily on traditional Quake and they're unwilling to really embrace the RPG/ability aspect of MOBAs. Unfortunately, so many developers have tried and failed to make a "modern" arena shooter that I don't see anybody else giving it an interesting, worthy take on a hybrid.
Genetic Mechanisms of Immune Evasion in Colorectal Cancer
I asked a Chinese national friend of mine. He said that the system sounded good, because it would decrease the rate of crime.

When I brought up privacy concerns, social concerns, etc, he looked at me like I was talking Swahili. I tried bringing up the Stasi, and he didn't know what I was talking about. 1984, had never read it. Secret police... they apparently only go after bad people.

The sorts of things you're talking about are genuinely not on the radar of the average person over there. It would require education they specifically and intentionally don't have. (And, if I were to guess, are encouraged never to learn)
It makes it inefficient in economic terms. I think you are attempting to frame it in terms of cost-shifting: making the "rich" pay for "the poor" by paying twice.

But when the public hospital is 10 miles away, and the private hospital is 1 mile away, paying twice effectively lowers the access of care to the people that can't afford to pay twice.

And then, proximity to public hospitals would be so valuable, that housing prices would icnrease close to the best public hospitals, and the richer will again take profit of it, just like it happens with zone-dependent schools.
