I'm not entirely sure that this paper supports your theory. While they do establish that the risks for this subset of premature babies is higher in Canada than in the US, they do not attribute this to a better level of care from US hospitals or the US healthcare system. Reading through their conclusions, it sounds like they didn't even think that was an issue worth investigating. Instead they looked for population differences and end up theorizing that the difference might be due to age estimation errors.

The fact that the births of premature children in this category is lower in Canada could, perhaps, point to the opposite conclusion: because health care in Canada is less driven by profit, we are seeing better care before birth which could be lowering this number.

"Our results were fairly consistent between the United States and Canada. The RRs of mortality associated with mild and moderate preterm birth were generally higher in Canada. A small part of these differences in gestational age–specific mortality was explained by the lower absolute and relative mortality risks among US black vs white preterm infants, but the RRs for Canada remained substantially higher than those for the United States even after restricting the US analysis to non-Hispanic whites (ie, 8.1 vs 15.2 at 32-33 gestational weeks and 3.3 vs 4.5 at 34-36 gestational weeks for total infant mortality among all singleton live births). An even smaller part of the difference was the result of the slightly lower absolute risks for term (birth at ≥37 gestational weeks) births in Canada (ie, total infant mortality of 3.0 vs 3.1 per 1000 live births for Canada in 1992-1994 vs the United States in 1995). We are currently investigating other potential explanations and particularly whether the differences might be artifacts caused by errors in estimation of gestational age. Regardless of the explanation, however, the prevalence of births in these gestational age categories was much lower in Canada than in the United States, and the EFs were therefore similar in the 2 countries."

BoA just sunsetted their "ShopSafe" virtual CCN tool last month, which had a UI that required Flash. They didn't offer any explanation (or more than about 20 days' notice...), but I had to wonder if they just didn't want to port it to something modern...
For minor ISP's, offering things like IPv6 becomes a USP and one that appeals to many. Same such outfits make it easier to get fixed IPv4 in the past when the main streams would push you into business price rates to even consider such an offering.

Makes me wonder what level of peoples daily driver sites handle IPv6. Still not a good looking picture going by this: https://www.6connect.com/ipv6/ipv6-progress-report-top-sites... but slowly getting there. Though with Amazon and Twitter not offering them, that may be key pivot points.
Good time to point out that if you’re depending on public docker images, use the SHA reference. Named tags are mutable and you can’t depend on your layer cache for stability. Any and all of that can change under your nose on a new build and you won’t know how to debug it without wasting a few hours sourcing the bug. The SHA protects you from that because there can only be one version of it.

(e.g I’ve had a few where a ruby image switched from Debian 9 to Debian 10, on most of the labels. It broke a lot of stuff and you just had to guess that they kept the old version on its own label, because Docker Hub didn’t say anything about it.)
> I recently did a Google takeout of my data and found for most services they have no tracking on me after March

You found that they have no tracking data that they're willing to disclose to you. We don't know if that translates into actually having no tracking data.
The techdirt article author suggest they should have just paid the ransom.

Even knowing that paying the ransom is no _guarantee_ you actually recover, and that you have to then harden your system anyway after that (which you should have been doing all along)... I tend to agree.

I am a Baltimore resident, and I've also had that opinion since the day after the ransomware attack was announced -- just pay the ransom. (In part because from what I experience of Baltimore City government, i was pretty sure the backups and recovery/continuity plans were going to be basically nonexistent).

But on previous HN threads, it was a very unpopular opinion, in the articles right after the attacks were announced, very few in the comments threads seemed to think it was acceptable or a good idea to pay the ransom.

I'm curious if that remains true?
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Defends Free Speech Amid Calls for Tighter Controls

One bitcoin transaction is not directly comparable to one transaction on other payment systems. One bitcoin transaction can represent thousands or millions of transactions.
It isn't fair to say bitcoin requires this amount of electricity. Different people all over the world choose to spend electricity to try to find new bitcoin. The amount of new bitcoin is exponentially decaying to zero. It's like telling someone their gold jewelry uses up too much electricity because someone they don't know is spending electricity to mine gold.
Some amount of mining is necessary for the security of the network. Most global endeavors use electricity, whether it is traditional finance or video games.
Bitcoin mining believed to be one of the greenest industries (a very high percent of electricity comes from solar, wind, and hydrolelectric). This is due to some of the cheapest electricity in the world being from green energy in remote places (and bitcoin mining is extremely portable)
What you’re saying is basically “things are horrible so why don’t you just bend over and let somebody fuck you in this other aspect as well”.

Yes, that’s where I draw the line today. Governments used to challenge our right to free speech and even right to live free - we don’t accept that anymore. In my opinion it’s time to untangle governments and money. You’re free to disagree of course and you’re free to entrust all sorts of strangers to make all sorts of decisions in your life, just don’t expect others to do the same.
Millions of Amazon Echos, Kindles Vulnerable to Wi-Fi Attack
>How is this different from buying baseball cards, pokemon cards, etc.?

There are at least two obvious differences.

First, you can't divorce the problem from reality and expect to win an argument based upon the fact that loot boxes are analogous to e.g. baseball cards. They are similar in concept, sure, but the scale is completely different. Video games are played by hundreds of millions (more?) of people around the world.

If some drug came out that was extremely dangerous, but accounted for a handful of deaths each year, no one would much care. Up that number to a few hundred thousand and you'll hear about it nearly every night on the news. Obviously, scale and relevance matter.

Secondly, video games are able to hit your serotonin and dopamine producing brain centers much more effectively than does a pack of baseball cards. Companies are pouring vast resources into finding ways to trick people into craving that next button click.

>It doesn't make any games I play worse, it makes the playerbase bigger which is better.

Yes, they do, and I'd like to see some basis for that last claim. It certainly spawns new forms of crappy, content-lite games, but it doesn't in any way increase quality. MTX's have led to a shift away from providing quality gameplay and toward maximizing roulette wheel spins. I'd be interested in hearing some specific examples of how they have made games "better".

BTW, game of the year 2018: GoW. No MTX's.

In hindsight, concentrating on finding a side hustle or a business of my own instead of just trying to be a better engineer. 90% of new ventures fail, but everyone thinks they will be the exception.

The screen protector/case works on the S10 because (I'm assuming here) of some flaw with how the ultrasonic fingerprint reader reads the fingerprint, whereas the S10e uses a traditional capacitive scanner. Both are fundamentally different approaches to generating a copy of your fingerprint so I don't think it's likely this technique would work on the 10e.

I use a Chase Liquid card that’s associated with my Chase checking account [0]. The balance I keep on it is always 0.01 (it used to be 0.00, but Chase closed my last Liquid account because it was not used, so I’m hoping keeping one cent on it keeps it active). The Chase Liquid card is a prepaid Visa debit card, so the merchant cannot pull more than what is on the card (they are denied), and the card is accepted wherever Visa is accepted. Some merchants can detect whether or not the card is a debit card, but this occurrence has been very rare in my personal experience (definitely once, maybe twice, I can’t remember the specific merchants).

I use my Chase Liquid card as the default card for any merchant that wants a card to automatically charge per month, or for any merchant that offers a discount for having autopay setup (one example of the latter case is T-Mobile where I get $5.00 off my bill Per month for just having a card on file for autopay). Merchants have gotten better at notifying me when my payment is due before actually charging me, so I actually perform one-time payments in these cases using my normal credit card that offers cash back.

Yes, this approach does not provide any additional privacy beyond keeping my intended payment method to myself. For anything more, I only know of privacy.com . However, this approach is sufficient for practically all of my needs.

EDIT: Typo
All of this /could/ be provided by the private market or by volunteers, but the things you're describing have a huge operational expense--especially in more rural areas. Something like tax software has more of a capital expense paid upfront. It doesn't cost significantly more if its widely used or used in more rural areas.

With taxes you're interfacing directly with the government; that's either as a citizen or Turbo Tax as a proxy for the citizen. To me, that seems more appropriate for the government to handle than fire, police, or sewer service. Whether it's the citizen or Turbo Tax, it costs money to implement Congress' tax code and build out a "UI" (tax forms). It still costs money to audit. So you're outsourcing one portion of the interface, you still have to build/maintain an e-file protocol, and you're doubling up on the auditing.

History bears this out as a band-aid. The program started in 2001 under GW because other countries already had online tax filing and engaging the private sector was seen as a way to "catch up" quickly. 20 years later it's still miserable for the average citizen and there are countless examples of other countries showing how much easier it can be.

A major surgery like that isn't low risk - the chance of major complications is quite high. You're asking people to put their lives at risk in a very real way to make a quick buck, which probably isn't actually solving any long term problems as it's a single cash infusion and not any sort of actual revenue stream they can rely on.

And, as I asked elsewhere - how much money are you expecting these organs to be sold for? There are far, far, far more desperate individuals than those who need kidneys - it'd be a buyers market for human organs.
You would be surprised on how large a hurdle this is, even inside 'serious companies' when stable external/internal artifacts come up. A lot of developers who cut their teeth on these public repositories complain heavily over the 'friction' of ensuring that they have a reliable place to pull things from. This isn't unique to docker and also includes things like python, ruby, go, node, and other modern packaging systems. The fact that in 3 years from now when they need to update the code the vulnerable/deprecated package is gone/changed URL/whatever seems to be a learned lesson.
I've heard of podman and buildah, but honestly I haven't looked too closely into it. They do sound like Docker done right.

Trump Campaign Website Left Open to Email Server Hijack
Storing things on a Google server isn't the same as sharing the data with Google for other purposes, for both technical and legal reasons.

This really depends on your trust model. Do you trust Google engineers to implement their own permissions correctly? Are you concerned about mistakes, or that they're entirely lawless?

Physical control means you can independently verify that no sharing is done, but it's not the only trust model.

What sort of money are we assuming these individuals will get? In your plan is this $100? $1,000? $10,000? With the ratio of the desperate to people who require kidneys, suddenly organs become a buyers market.
> Catholicism has never been that, and it's declining too.

In the U.S. you are likely correct. But in Spain, Portugal, Argentina and many parts of Latin America it was a strong supporter of fascist/authoritarian regimes up until the 70's and 80's. Also, up until the 19th century Catholicism was the foundation of very authoritarian and absolutist monarchies.
