In truth, though, we don't. And not "oh, a few good ones do, but the masses we pity and mock don't". All of us. The only difference is if we acknowledge it. We're trying (and that's why articles like this are so common!), and arguably we as an industry are making progress, but we don't yet have it figured out.

Vanitygen Scam
Dear HN community,

Unfortunately, I had my 2.62683514 Bitcoins stolen from my wallet on Nov 3, 2017 2:03:29 PM.
I had used the website www.bitcoinvanitygen.com to generate the wallet address:
1FabioUj74f7Vf1qJD9ENa15XxzUNLVeW9

I created a paper wallet offline using this address and was using it to receive and send Bitcoins since August 2017. To my surprise when I sent 2.62 Bitcoins from the Brazilian Exchange Foxbit to this wallet, in less than a day they were gone. It is clear that bitcoinvanitygen website had my private key because nobody else knew about my paper wallet.

At the time it was known that their sites were running on this Ip address: 37.59.115.11

This is the BTC address where the coins are at the moment:
19yXdhfcsUc4dB5tfxrHuLyN27PubycNJj

This is the thief's BTC address that stole my Bitcoins:
16BXHtbF2kmWjta983b3YfsTqtYS2Em3kX

There's a video in Youtube "How I lost $60.000 in Bitcoin! Bitcoinvanitygen Scam and Security Tips" that explains how the criminals operate.

Many other newbies in the crypto space also lost lots of money falling for this scam.
Authorities in Brazil don't care about cryptocurrencies. So, it was pointless for me to go to the police and report the incident.

If there's any information, ideias, etc. you may share that could help me to ban this website or find the criminals, it'll be much much appreciated.

Thank you for your attention!
Unpacking the Black Box in Artificial Intelligence for Medicine
What's interesting about the two positions you conflate is that they're actually complete opposites.

The prevailing narrative on Amazon is that it's overrun by infringement and it's too difficult to file complaints and too easy to avoid them.

The prevailing narrative on YouTube is that it's overrun with false infringement complaints and that it's too easy to file complaints and too difficult to dispute.

My position on Amazon is that it's more complicated than the prevailing narrative says, that there's a large amount of abuse of the complaint system. And in fact I've filed a lawsuit against someone who abused the system.

My position on YouTube is that, due to the DMCA shifting the burden of proof, the whole problem is much smaller. There's no provision on Amazon to shift the burden of proof of infringement back to the person alleging infringement, instead, it's guilty until proven innocent. While on YouTube as a direct result of the DMCA, one can force the other side to prove their case.

I would absolutely love if DMCA was extended to trademark infringement allegations. It would make the problems on Amazon shrink by orders of magnitude. You'd no longer have 7 and 8 figure businesses destroyed by some brand that would like their product to sell for more money and is willing to lie to achieve that goal.

Now I don't know how you can take these two positions and lump them together as "pro-corporate". Surely if one is pro corporate then the position I'm arguing against on the other company is pro corporate?

That's because every time the police force would call a potential victim to warn them, and it would turn out to be a false positive eventually some business owner would think: "we lost some money today, must have been because of that false warning, police is do incompetent".

This month, Google shipped the last update for my Pixel phone. The hardware is functional and in great shape, but I don't think there are any truly viable ways for me to keep it secure. I have a tablet that long-ago met the same fate. This is in the same world where I can 'apt-get update' my seven-year old desktop and work with aplomb. It is my understanding that the primary blocker to serious open-source kernel development on phones is closed-source drivers for the phone hardware.

One thing not being mentioned much in the comments are the nuances of a subscription-only model.

This comment is terribly misinformed. The First Amendment to the US Constitution does not apply to charities distributing their own resources. There is no law preventing them from conditioning aid on listening to a religious sermon.
> Those secular places have high taxes and social services, which is secular charity.

It’s not really voluntary, which brings in the question of if it’s really charity.

> I'd much rather be poor in San Francisco and enjoying public services than be poor in Mississippi hoping for religious services

Which public services do you think SF has that aren’t available in Mississippi? I think you’ll find that the real difference is tolerance of homelessness in general and programs that allow continued drug use while receiving benefits.
I've come around to the idea that some type of power over Ethernet is probably the correct solution for low voltage house wiring. There is an automotive standard IEEE 802.3bu-2016 which supports up to 55 watts.

The other advantage it that solves a lot of the IoT last 25 feet problem. Because it's both power and a data link.
It’s also more difficult do do straight transformation on DC voltages, it can be done but the reason our power grid settled on AC was getting high voltage transmission levels down to reasonable ones for use is simple with some wound coils.

It’s really easiest to just keep everything AC until the point of use, putting a transformer and a bridge rectifier in most devices is a better solution than needing switching power supplies everywhere to convert DC voltages (or wise options like linear regulators).

Switched mode power supplies also have EMI to deal with due to the higher switching frequencies, an AC transformer runs at line frequency (50/60Hz).

My religion has an exhaustive list of sinful behaviors. We help everybody - that's the point because we're all sinners.
What is it about religion that makes people help other people so much more?

I can think of 2 reasons why the religious want to help others:

1. Within many religions, the concept of charity is tied to eternal salvation
2. Helping people is a good way to recruit numbers

I guess another way of looking at it is why aren't there more atheist charities?

Why pick on atheists? What about secular charity or otherwise irreligious charity? Many such charities/aid groups exist. Doctors Without Borders, ACLU, Unicef, Goodwill, Oxfam, Rotary International, etc.

More importantly, what about social security?

I think the US government is too conservative when it comes to relying on outside entities for help getting people up on their feet. It really should be a government's prerogative to proactively help people enter society as a productive member, earning a wage, staying healthy, spending money and paying taxes, no?

It depends on the church.

The best churches to me are the ones who believe that church is for the "sinners" not the in-group. This means accepting everyone and not excluding anyone.

But we also have to recognize that churches are centered around people and people are very flawed. Organizations tend to be too.

I have to say, I fall much closer to atheist than theist now but that's mostly due to doctrine not practices within the church.

Also, as a side effect of how I was raised I was on the out-group of two religions. 90% of people in both churches treated me with respect and dignity. It was up to me to see that the 10% had no power in either church or over me.

Building Virtual Worlds from On-Chain NFTs
They can get an SSL certificate for "example.has-a.name", i.e. your subdomain, in one of two ways:

1. They complete a DNS challenge and get a certificate for "\\*.has-a.name" - which obviously includes your subdomain.

2. They sneakily point "your-address-here.has-a.name" to an IP they control, get a certificate issued, then point it back to where it should go.

The second option is more hassle, and easier to notice, but the first makes it needlessly complex.

Of course if your actual domain is "bob.com" then this is just a distraction. We're using "your domain" in this case to refer to the subdomain that points to your IPv6 address.
Anyone who can say with certainty what the market is going to do is usually selling you something. Especially, when they trot out a magic number that predicts something. The division you are noticing has been there for a long time (100+ years).

Will there be a recession? Yeah. When, is the trick, it could be tomorrow or 10+ years from now. That recession will also be followed by a boom. Such is life. That we have not had one recently is a bit unusual but not unprecedented. You could even argue the the world is already in the 'coming' recession, minus the US.

I would posit people wanting a recession is just a form of jealously and resentment. Normal? Not in my experience. But then I may have just not noticed. I remember the gas lines of the 70s. No one really wants that just to feel smug, do they?
Imho if you design a new language it should use a simple and widely compatible script. Maybe computers did not yet exist back then, but they had typewriters, telegraph and baudot codes so it should have been known character set compatibility was an issue to take into account. They could've used combinations of two letters rather than diacritics if they needed this for diverse sounds. Especially odd that they did this while intending it to be used worldwide, yet not adapt to a common denominator script that would be available everywhere.
> You seem to be saying: unless you're sickly and starving in some unloved corner of Ethiopia, then you're not "scraping by"?

Nope! I'm not saying that. Read my reply to a sibling comment here, I think it largely responds to the point you're making. I'll reiterate again: being unable to afford all the luxuries you'd like is not equivalent to any reasonable definition of "scraping by."

As an aside, I find it funny in a meta sort of way that while we're talking about hyperbole, you interpreted my point to be literally about starving people in Africa.
California has a long history of doing the same. It wasn't that many years ago that Los Angeles agreed to stop busing its homeless people to Nevada.

This is blatantly false. SF and LA were sending the homeless back to their cities of origin. Their is a great deal of reporting on this in the NYT and LAT. (See, e.g., https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/us/homeless-busing-seattl...)

Texas and the Midwest represent the biggest non-local sources of the homeless in Southern California. Combined, the Midwestern states generate more of LA's homeless than California itself. It was the openly stated policy of Texas for more than a decade to deal with the homeless by buying them tickets to Los Angeles, and it is still their official (but unstated) policy with respect to addressing homelessness. Their governor has admitted as much on television.
A few things to add. Consistency is one of the most important things to focus on. That is, send your posts out on a schedule (weekly, monthly etc) and don't vary from it. Keep quality of content high (short and meaningful is better than long and full of fluff). Don't worry about optimization in the beginning. So apart from using something easy to set up, like Mailchimp, don't spend too much time trying to optimize your conversions. In the beginning you are just learning who your audience is and what they value. It took me a while to figure this stuff out and I'm still figuring it out. I wrote about it here, if interested: https://unintendedconsequenc.es/50-essays-on-unintended-cons...
One of the problems I was constantly trying to avoid when using APL (professionally, for real-world applications, not academics) was the explosion of arrays.

You have to understand what the interpreter is doing. Just because you can write a cool one-liner that gets you an answer with one turn of the crank it doesn't mean this is the best solution.

When I started using APL I was using seriously resource-constrained machines of the time (think ~1 MB of RAM rather than 64GB). This makes you far more aware of what's going on behind the curtains.

In many ways this is one of my pet peeves with today's programmers, I think I can say the majority have not been exposed to what might actually be happening at the processor/memory level. This leads to such things as OOP being their default level of abstraction and the explosion of classes and layers. Very soon a simple addition of two numbers takes a thousand clock cycles rather than one.

Anyhow, love APL, I really do, but I have no clue why it shows up so much on HN. These days I would not use it (or much less J) if my life depended on it. Learn it, yes. Definitely. Write some non-trivial stuff with it. Seriously consider using it in a business? No way.

I'd say the same thing about Forth, BTW. Love both languages. No longer good choices for anything other than learning about different ideas.
Maybe placebo effect is falling – when people viewed it as an astounding miracle therapy, it got astounding miracle results, but now that it’s lost its luster nobody takes it seriously anymore.

I don't think "placebo effect" is an adequate term when the benefit from a therapy derives from the work patients put in. It's more like dieting than like a drug. Faith in the program helps people invest the required work and persevere through difficulties and setbacks. The impulse to give up, to take a break, to skip the work today, this impulse preys on doubt. In this dynamic, the differences in inherent effectiveness between one method and another can be dwarfed by the power of one treatment having superior marketing and inspiring people to work harder, persist through greater discomfort, and eventually have a greater likelihood of achieving results — which will of course be credited to the theoretical ideas underpinning the therapy instead of the marketing.
It is not a charity if you are coerced to pay for it.
Also, introverts need time alone. Quiet time. This is equally true for parents. It's not just a preference; it's a need. Without this, introverts are literally incapable of taking care of themselves or another human being.

> If the government is jailing people for not attending religious events that counts well enough

But that's not what was happening, right?

> I have no problem with faith and churches, but when they start getting political

I disagree with the notion that religion must be a private matter. Religion is not only a matter of personal belief. Its a framework for organizing communities and raising children. Forcing people to keep religion private amounts to an infringement on "the free exercise thereof."

Notably, religion in the U.S. has always been political. Many of the original colonies were founded by religious people who were too radical for Europe. They didn't create a Constitution where the right to "free exercise" implied banning the very religious communities they had come to America to establish. Rather, religion has always been a part of peoples' politics. It played an outsized role in everything from abolition to women's suffrage to the civil rights movement.
Five Things to Take Away from Re:Invent 2019
Having grown up below the poverty line, I'll double down on my original point as well. Most people don't work in tech and most people get screwed. The idea behind minimum wage is to provide all the necessities to everyone, be it housing, childcare, or food. When I interviewed with Google my Uber drivers all talked about how they had been forced to further and further suburbs because of tech workers and the rising cost of housing. I'm not bashing people on government assistance. Instead, I think more should be done for them by people like us.

That being said, you have just proved my point. If I can buy a house in Austin for half the starting salary in the Bay Area then, by that metric, if I can't in the Bay Area, I'm just scraping by.

And sadly, many atheists see it as a charity that others have a greater obligation to pay into than themselves.

i.e. "The government should replace charity, and only the millionaires and billionaires should be the ones paying for it".

I'm atheist myself, but I've definitely seen this reasoning make it easy for fellow atheists to explain away their lack of charity.
