A peer reviewed paper saying WPA2 is secure also exists. That clearly didn’t make it so.

Only if we enumerate all possible attack vectors, and prove resiliency against these, is the proof as general as you claim. The difficult part — as the WPA2 paper shows — is the former.

How do you know when you’ve enumerated all possible attack vectors?

Facts are even more fun if you give a source.
Something else not mentioned is that the pill gives you regular periods. Polycystic ovaries can cause erratic periods, so some women might like it because it gives them a period regularly.
For what it's worth, you can simply google something like "20 EUR in USD" and that works really well.
I've been saying it for years: IPv4+ would be fine. Just add more bits to addresses (maybe twice as many octets) and dual stack that instead.
For PDFs, references and notes I highly recommend using an app that can assign tags―several for an item, of course. Preferably, tags themselves should be organizeable at least in a hierarchy.

You won't create a good collection of tags right away, but you'll grow and groom it over time. It's important to assign tags to new items as soon as they come in. Gradually, you'll learn what words you actually use when you're looking for something, and those will become your tags.

I can't recommend a specific app right now: I happily used one that begins with 'E' but alas it went to shit.

Also not sure about the merit of any software for tagging files. I know that some say good things about TheBrain as evolution of the mind maps idea, and that it apparently can link files in its data, so you could try that.
I think they must change something. I think "the Magic Hand will fix it" is not working.

What things are misstated? General arguments are worthless. Anyway I do not recall Postgres being broken few years ago. It had less features, was slower, but was working as expected. Whenever someone points out that some severe problems with given software are already fixed its not building a good rep for the product. If something was seriously broken, yet considered production ready its a bad sign for the feature of this product anyway.
Why not? There's research into cutting costs in producing insulin as well as fixing diabetes. The government will "solve" the problem by socializing the cost of treatment, whereas a startup may seem a cure or a cheaper treatment.

Innovation is definitely higher risk, higher reward. I guess you need to decide whether you want better treatment access now or a potential cure later (with the caveat that more could suffer now). I know I prefer to support seeking cures over funding treatments even if that means more people will suffer now. Thus, I think we need more founders, not more policy.

Also, it seems that many forms of diabetes can be reversed by fixing diet. If a founder can help people fix their diet, demand would drop, which should drop prices due to oversupply and make funding treatments cheaper (e.g. for type 1 diabetes where no cure is likely, aside from potential improvements in transplants).

No, it is NVIDIA who is joke, Nouveau doesn't support these cards just because of NVIDIA policy and management. And they are the only who deserve the blame in this case, not Nouveau or Google.
Ask HN: How did you decide what problems to solve in your lifetime?
In other words, how do you decide between what you want to work on and what should be worked on?

I've been stuck with trying to figure what to do with the rest of my life. I can't decide whether I should be working on what I want to work on (Energy, AI) or whether I should work on what I believe should be worked on (Healthcare).

It's a short life, so I want to be careful with this decision, to avoid any future regrets. Because I can't decide on this, I end up not getting anything done. Time continues to march on, while I'm still stuck with not knowing what to do.

Has anyone had any experience with this before? If yes, then what and how did you make your decision? What was the outcome? Is there a middle ground or silver lining, where you managed to work on both cases?
Eating "right-handed" has always seemed irrational to me.

It dates back to medeival eating traditions when folks only had a knife - therefore, it was held in the right hand as it was the primary and only implement.

Fast forward to the present day, and the fork is the primary implement. Hence, to my mind, it makes significantly more aense to hold the fork in one's dominant hand.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of your creative thoughts?
Hi Hackernews, I am a developer with lots of random creative thoughts, especially when I am in shower or after a few shots of caffeine. I have yet to find a perfect solution to keep track of my random thoughts.
Here are a few things that I've tried at least for a few months:

1. Physical notebook: still using, but some times my notebook is in my backpack/left at home/in office
2. Evernote alike: never works for me. I hate the constant changing features/UI and the overhead of simply opening it
3. (My pick) use instant IM to send messages to myself: the IM tool really doesn't matter. It could be mail app, facebook messenger, slack. Laptop and phone syncing is free and always reliable.

I know these are my throw away thoughts. I am wondering whether there are some amazingly good solutions that I didn't know of. Otherwise I am planning to create one for myself.

Thanks!
This is the problem with most pharmaceuticals.

I believe we should cut patent duration to somewhere in the 5 year range. A patent should only be in force long enough to recoup R&D investment, and I think our current patent system is way beyond that.

Instead of healthcare reform, we should be pushing for patent reform. Reduced pharmaceutical prices would make healthcare reform much less expensive, and thus easier to sell.
I highly recommend the courses on brilliant.org. They are not axiomatic, but they heavily focus on building up deep insight rather than mechanical problem solving -- https://brilliant.org.

> What you should be interested in is the velocity of IPv6 adoption growth among ISPs and countries where adoption stopped all together, to know what to expect from actual adoption in coming years. (it's basically a failure btw)

I don't understand. Are you telling me to look at how IPv6 adoption is among countries, where IPv6 usage growth has stopped? Are there any such countries?
Furthermore, I'm not sure what you mean by "actual adoption". Every statistic I look at, as referenced in my previous comment, I see IPv6 usage continuing to grow. And you're calling that "propaganda"?
In my city, there’s one Ivy League “feeder” school, it’s a private school that’s $20,000 a year or so for tuition. I went to a public school and also knew a guy who got a 1600 on his SAT, but couldn’t get accepted to Ivy League.

In 2017, only 5 kids got accepted to Ivy League schools in the best private school where I live, out of 100 or so in the graduating class? I’m not sure what that means, but maybe it’ll be of interest to someone.

>Chemotherapy was developed before the pill and it's still widely used despite its side-effects.

Chemo consists of thousands of different drugs prescribed in different circumstances, and new ones are being discovered all the time. It has bad side effects because none of the drugs are very "good" when compared with for example first-generation antibiotics which would save your life without even short term side effects.

> A particularly striking example is around perceptions of wealth. In asking about wealth, they ask how much the average black household has if for every $100 the average white household has. The average answer was $85; the reality, $5.

I don't think this was for the average wealth, but for the richest 20%, by race.
That hasn't been my experience. I was watching some instructional DVDs—well-produced, modern stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v68ZP8tHhnc —on a desktop monitor lately and the difference really leaped out at me, despite my already knowing consciously that the video wouldn't be HD, and the fact that I'm far from being any connoisseur of video quality. Given that standard DVD resolution is never higher than 720 × 576 pixels it really shouldn't have been surprising.

The word "celebrity" has negative connotations but Elon is famous for very good reasons: he gets results and he helps other people get results.

Tom Mueller and Gwynne Shotwell could have worked at other more traditional companies but it is thanks to Elon's leadership and aggressive business tactics that they achieved far more at SpaceX. This is not just Elon being rich: space history has plenty of well-capitalized failures.

The article presents a story of very successful vertical mobility from people who received relatively little outside help, it's not clear how this makes a case for various forms of affirmative action. If anything it shows the system works reasonably fine.
Well there’s all sorts of issues with a big move. For example I live in the Midwest and live in a 2100 square foot house that I bought for $250,000. Average developer salary around here is 80-100k or so, but even if I got an offer for $300k from Google I doubt me and my stay at home wife with our two kids could move there and replicate our lives at all.

Quick Zillow search says it’d be 10x as much for a house the size of where I am now, for 3x the salary? No thanks.

But in your hypothetical future you can still legally opt out, and live with nothing.

A slave can never legally opt out and choose to live on his own with nothing.

You are saying that there exists a level of information control that would justify slavery in the minds of the masses. I'm saying there is no such level of information control. (In fact, it would never even be justified in the minds of all the elites.)

We just need to agree to disagree. But I really think you're doing a serious reach in order to make a connection from privacy to slavery. And the sensationalism around this issue is what is keeping the masses right now from taking it seriously. We need to be explaining actual consequences to the masses, not shouting alarmist nonsense at them and then calling them stupid for not listening.

Unless your business is REQUIRED[×] to have user details on file, putting any kind of friction on the user's action path is equal to voluntarily giving up sales. No, I don't want yet another account on your shitty website, no matter what it sells to me. If I end up coming back often enough, then I may, voluntarily, create an account. But if your site requires to create one up front, I'm incentivised to take my business somewhere else.

The worst offenders try to do email domain TLD matching against country of residence. I've seen it only twice, but it's such a user-hostile pattern that it has seared itself to my memory (while mercifully having relieved me of the memory of where I ran into it).

Its weird that Firefox cant provide a single button in the preferences to remove the horizontal tab bar.
Huh! I looked closer at the graph and wondered why the line was so fat. If you zoom in, a clear trend appears: far higher IPv6 usage on weekends. About 25% more people using IPv6 on weekends than weekdays. (IPv6 is 21% of the total on weekdays vs 26% on weekends.) I'm surprised there's such a big gulf.
What's actually happening is a bit more subtle: The compiler is allowed to assume that the programmer in fact made no mistake and there's a reason why the UB is never actually triggered at runtime. Reasoning backwards from that can open up large optimization opportunities elsewhere, like not loading a value from memory twice, or not actually checking a condition.

Indian Railway Plans to have airport like security
No, blame IP law. Patents were intended to increase innovation and competition, but lobbyists have been able to extend IP protections to make a killing. Few candidates from either major party seriously promote patent reform.

We could socialize the cost of medication, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem of high pharmaceutical costs. I suppose you could argue that government would force prices down, but we got into this position from lobbyists, so why would government all of a sudden stop listening to lobbyists once they have captive insurance customers?

I think the best approach is to table universal healthcare for now (Republicans won't budge and Democrats have utterly failed) and focus on fixing patents and other things that result in high healthcare prices. Once the underlying problems have been resolved, we can revisit universal healthcare if it's still important.

I'd much rather see us go the UBI route where people choose their own benefits than having government try to decide what minimum benefits everyone needs.
Of course it’s all hypothetical, but many pundits are betting on a comeback of a SE type of iPhone, as the expensive strategy is not working for Apple.
Like LFS?
I know it's kinda pricey, and not everyone can afford it. But if you can, Evernote is actually pretty great for PDFs and tags, etc.

I didn't 'get' it for the longest time. But I moved from one country to another, and I didn't want to bring all my paperwork around with me. So I bought a scanner which can scan duplex (both sides), and a red stamp which says 'Scanned'. I digitized everything except super important things like (birth cert, etc). Tagged it, and it sits in Evernote. I've been in many situations where I am at a business or company, and someone asks for X document, and expect I have to leave to get it, but I can whip it up on my phone and mail it to them if needed.

I scan my bills, and the payment receipts, etc.
I keep copies of paystubs, etc.

When I start projects I make a new folder under my existing 'Projects' notebook, and I can put everything related to it in there.

With premium, it also scans through the PDFs and can help you find things when you need them. Again, I know not everyone can afford it. Just pointing out that, if you are in a position where you can, and you could use this kind of functionality, I find it super helpful.

Last tip, use the 'Scannable' app (iOS at least). You can scan documents (very well, surprisingly!!) on the go. For example, once I got roped into signing a new contract for a phone plan. I didn't want to carry all the paperwork around all day, so at lunch I used scannable to send it all directly to my Evernote, and shredded the originals.

Not affiliated either, just a fan who likes the software.
Should We Use Genetic Technology to Boost Human Intelligence?
I very much enjoyed this talk and I'm one of those in-the-database-industry "tell me something I don't know" types.

He put better words to many concepts I've worked on for years, in simpler terms that what other languages have and/or could express. Has me very excited for Noria.

As others have commented though, the 25M ops/sec is a little confusing, it is certainly better than modern/legacy systems, but it is subpar for other recent/similar research and production systems (like ours). Theirs is about 2X Redis, but should be capable with that threading and type of machines of ~300M+ ops/sec, unless their cached reads were on very large values (but he says in the talk it is on Reddit-like messages, so it can't be) or if benchmarked relative to the client and it is including roundtrip latency to local server.

Either way, the quality of the ideas, work, and presentation certainly strike me as Jon or Noria is an up and coming smash success to keep an eye on.

Is there a new hotkey for sibling (vs. child) tab?

Does this play nice with tab save/restore addons similar to Session Buddy? (i.e. is hierarchy persisted?)
I don't use bookmarks. Tabs are for things I want to read today or at least as long as the browser session's open (could be multi-day, but all in a chain of thought). If I don't get round to them I let them die under the justification "couldn't have been important enough" rather than carry baggage.

I have a personal wiki where I save links together with self-made notes and links/references associated with it. This provides a persistent record that is richer than that which bookmarks can provide, and can be accessed from any device that I happen to be on (my own devices, or devices that aren't my own, or links shared to others).

For regular sites, I too type in the URL and it usually autocompletes.

For myself, bookmarks have always fallen into a middle ground that I don't have much use for.
I'm not complaining about the decision, I'm just saying the rationale given is ridiculous.

Imposter Syndrome in Developers
Nope, because:

- you would need to restrict yourself to an extremely tiny fraction of the v6 space that's the same size as the v4 space

- you couldn't use any IPs that correspond to in-use v4 IPs because they would overlap

- you couldn't use any IPs that correspond to unusable v4 IPs, for the same reasons you can't use them in v4

- you'd have to talk a protocol that looks the same as v4 on the wire, because otherwise v4 hosts won't be able to handle it

You know what we call that? We call it IPv4.

Maybe it's just because I got used to it, but now whenever I have to touch it I find the branch-based development confusing.
