Troy is not primarily motivated by money anymore; he has plenty [1]. What's most important to him is that HIBP is run the way he wants it run, but with more resources than a single person can offer. He's willing to pay the "biggest bill in his life" in order to preserve that vision, which honestly just increases his reputation as a person you can trust. He can make those kinds of decisions because money is not the main issue.

Is there any question? 80% of the Chinese workforce has been sitting on the sidelines since mid-January. Production is just barely ramping up and I don't think we'll see full capacity until well into April, provided that COVID19 is truly contained/managed.

> fiscal policy can't really affect the real economy

Fiscal policy (e.g. the government buying tanks) absolutely affects the real economy.

The central bank doesn't control fiscal policy. It controls monetary policy. Monetary policy also affects the real economy, just indirectly.

An interesting thing to contrast that with is the Boeing disaster. Where they decided to make the steering actually more complex, then hide it from the pilot with software to make it look like the old, simple thing.

The result was a system that worked fine until you encountered bugs in the software, at which point there was no helping that several hundred people were about to die.
One thing that’s missing from your question is: what’s the goal?

Is it to develop a better understanding of the subject matter? To score better on tests?

Having a clear goal can help unlock the right process. Otherwise you risk having a solution in search of a problem. It’s a meta skill that’s worth a lot.
I have an Amazon affiliate site that I've posted about previously. As the other poster suggested, passive is a bit of a myth, its actually quite a bit of work. But its always at my pace and no one is looking over my shoulder. I can craft things in the winter when I'm at home a lot (I live in Wisconsin), and then they make me money in the summer when I don't want to put in as much work.
It's enjoyable work, I virtually meet a lot of wonderful leather crafters (its a watch strap website), and its fun to post about stuff they have created. Some of it is incredibly beautiful. All in all I like it as a side project, but I'm not sure if it could ever replace my job income totally. It would be placing too much importance on one vendor.

Couple of points: Most of those vectors would represent extreme levels of paranoia for the average home user. If you have sufficiently motified and skilled adversaries that they are prepared to start hijacking your DSL connection, you're probably screwed before you start.

Secondly: I never said you shouldn't also have a firewall - indeed basically all NAT routers are also firewalls, and both are active by default. The added protection NAT offers is that even if an inexperienced user accidentally opens up too much in their firewall, it's unlikely that this will make their internal home network publically accessible because ordinarily attackers aren't going to be able to send packets there. This is a real and useful feature for users who don't count the Mossad in their home network threat model (which is likely almost everyone reading this).

It's nice to note how several of these problems already exist in much more structured document types, such as HTML.

Using white-on-white dark-hat SEO techniques for keyword boosting? Check. Custom fonts with random glyphs? Check. I didn't see custom encodings (yet).

We try to keep HTML semantic, but google has been interpreting pages to a much higher level in order to spot issues such as these. If you ever tried to work on a scraper, you know how it's very hard to get far nowdays without using a full-blown browser as a backend.

What worries me is that it's going to get massively worse. Despite me hating HTML/web interfaces, one big advantage for me is that everything which looks like text is normally selectable, as opposed to a standard native widget which isn't. It's just much more "usable", as a user, because everything you see can be manipulated.

We've seen already asm.js-based dynamic text layout inspired by tex with canvas rendering that has no selectable content and/or suffers from all the OP issues! Now, make it fast and popular with WASM...

Rip Tim Skelly

"Tim Skelly
Before becoming a researcher with Microsoft Advanced Technology Research group, Tim Skelly spent fifteen years in the video game business. After graduating from Northwestern University in 1973, he filled the time preceding the invention of the personal computer by producing and directing for film and television. Skelly's career shifted directions when in 1977 he opened what was probably the world's first computer gaming center. Using the experience he had gained programming and designing games for personal computers, he went on to create a series of more than a dozen successful arcade video games for Cinematronics, Sega, and Mylstar Electronics. These included Armor Attack, Star Castle, Reactor, and the very first cooperative two-player video game, Rip-Off.

Later, after the crash of the video arcade market in 1983, Skelly branched off into screenwriting and the design of interactive laser disc programs. He returned to the game business in 1985, when he cofounded Incredible Technologies (IT), a company that designed, developed, built, and sold a broad range of interactive software. Besides IT's high output of computer- and cartridge-based games, projects included interfaces for medical equipment, animatronic devices for a Japanese location-based entertainment center, and all software and hardware for the original BattleTech (now Virtual Worlds) Centers. Clients included Williams Electronics/Bally Midway and CAPCOM. During this time, Skelly conducted a personal study of the appeal of video games. This later became the basis for his successful series of "Seductive Interfaces" tutorials given at several ACM SIGCHI conferences -- tutorials designed to enable UI designers to apply the engaging aspects of video games to nonentertainment products.

Recognized for his extensive video game experience, Skelly was recruited by the Sega Technical Institute, where he advised on game design and served as Art Director for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. A short time after the completion of Sonic 2, he was asked to join the newly formed Research Division at Microsoft Corporation. He is currently exploring future computer-human and computer-mediated human-human interfaces and strategies." [0]

The entire world is about to have a supply chain disruption that you can't stoke into recovery using central bank policy. The Fed rarely lowers interest rates without notice. They're spooked.
Aging is a multidimensional process and if "lack of adaption" is targeted the same way "control of bowels" will be/is, then it makes sense to include this concern in anti-aging research.
Speaking this way, resistance to change should be a priority in anti-aging technology, no?
If you have more than one certificate in use, regardless of what flavour, they only see one and assess that. Maybe the checker should emphasise that. For small users they probably only have one certificate in use, so this avoids some problems.

The issue would probably also affect people who have geographically separate certificates e.g. if you have two servers in different regions and decided rather than make things more complicated for key distribution you'll just have them each get their own certificates for the same name - that's totally fine with Let's Encrypt (it doesn't scale, but if you had 500 servers not 2 you'd probably redesign everything) but obviously this test only sees one of those servers and won't check the other certificate.

There's no way to know, given that two (or more) valid certificates exist for a name, and seeing one of them, whether the others are still actively used anywhere.

It would obviously be pretty easy to build a web form where you can type in an FQDN and get told if any certificates matching that name will be revoked, but then you get false positives where it says yes, this certificate for some.name.example will be revoked, you rush to replace your certificate for some.name.example but maybe actually the one that will be revoked is from 20 December 2019, and you already got a newer one which was unaffected in February.

Sadly there's a couple paradoxes.

Some occasiinal contributions only press for others to do something, helpfully pointing out what they think are mistakes and errors. This is someone with an axe to grind in denigrating wiki lingo.

As someone who's been told of there before, I think I understand the problem, and I like to agree with Aaron's sentiment--I don't know where it's coming from, though.

The quote is very much related. Who is "we"?

Easing the entry to beaurocracy would likely increase its burden significantly, while its not strictly separable from content contribution.

In my web-based shell implementation [0], I use a library concept, such that you have to "import" commands into the current execution environment. You can either do this kind of thing:

$ import fs

This imports all the commands in the 'fs' library, without any concern for namespaces, and if there are any already existing commands with the same name, they are not overwritten (the new ones are not imported).

But if you do this:

$ import fs as myfs

Then, all the commands in the 'fs' library are invoked like this:

$ myfs.vim

In Economics, secular essentially refers to long-term trends regardless of boom-and-bust business cycles. The focus is on the long term. In the context of economics it has nothing to do with religiousness.

A secular trend is a variable that evidences a consistent pattern within a given period of time. It is a statistical tendency that can be easily identified and it is not subject to seasonal or cyclical effects. (https://www.myaccountingcourse.com/accounting-dictionary/sec...)

Keynes famously said you could hire people to dig ditches and it would stimulate the economy.

However, if we were to take aggressive action on Climate Change, there’s a lot of potential jobs there. A massive potential stimulus. Also, you know, public funding of basic research which could explore, I don’t know, pandemic response, new therapeutics, etc.

Like you said, ideological barriers are what’s keeping us stuck. But before we went all in on finance we had a pretty epic run last century of productivity fueled by public investment (think 1940-1970).

It doesn't matter how much debt we are in provided the rate of return for the investment is greater than the interest on the new debt.

Since when did the definition of a disease require the existence of a cure? This whole topic feels like semantic quibbling...we could spend more time designing anti-aging plasmids and less time debating which human sounds to use

It doesn’t matter what we call it, we’re all too noob at programming biology to fix it
(or know it’s not fixable e.g. halting problem), the healthcare industry is bottlenecked by expensive regulations, bureaucracy, and status documents, we’re too scared or dense to run the experiments, and even if we knew how to fix aging, we don’t have the infrastructure to deliver these fixes affordably at scale
This is a supply shock. Cutting interest rates won't make widgets appear if the widget factory is idle...
What a glorious format for storing mankind's knowledge. Consider that by now displays have arbitrary sizes and a variety of proportions, and that papers are often never printed but only read from screens. To reflow text for different screen sizes, you need its ‘semantic’ structure.

And meanwhile if you say on HN that HTML should be used instead of PDF for papers, people will jump on you insisting that they need PDF for precise formatting of their papers—which mostly barely differ from Markdown by having two columns and formulas. What exactly they need ‘precise formatting’ for, and why it can't be solved with MathML and image fallback, they can't say.

People feeling the urge to defend PDF might want to pick up at this point in the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21454636
This bums me out as well. One of the prime examples of this is tar: whenever someone says "extract this tarball", they usually give the command as this:

tar xfvz my-source-code.1.2.3.tar.gz

What does those flags mean? Who knows! I mean, I know because I've used it enough, but for many people those are just a mysterious incantation (there's even an xkcd about it! [0])

The reason is arguably that tar has too many responsibilities here. Tar should only do two things: create tar streams and extract tar streams into files. You do that with "tar c" and "tar x", and that's everything you should need to remember (ok, fine, "tar t" for listing files is good to know as well).

Commands to create tarballs should look like this:

tar c directory | gzip > directory.tar.gz

And untar commands should look like this:

zcat directory.tar.gz | tar x

or maybe

cat directory.tar.gz | gunzip | tar x

or whatever version you prefer with "tar x" at the end. This is composable, super-easy to remember, and you can VERY easily swap out any parts for any other parts (for instance, changing the source from a file to a url with curl, or the destination for an ssh pipe or something).

One of the benefits of the "swapping out" parts are of course that you're not restricted to what's built into tar: you can use ANY compression utility you want. For instance, there's a thing called pigz[1] which parallelizes gzip decompression for increased speed. It's trivial to swap into the pipeline when you use tar that way:

cat directory.tar.gz | unpigz | tar x

Congratulations, you now have much faster expansion of tarballs, without needing to recompile tar.

We've taught a generation of programmers that "tar" is hard to use and you have to look up a magic incantation every time you need it. Ironically, that makes tar less flexible, because now you think of it as a single-purpose utility (creating and unpacking compressed tarballs) instead of a versatile unix tool which can be used in all sorts of different situations.

Yes. There will be a tipping point, as with any economic theory of sustainability.
No, we wont reach that tipping point in the foreseeable future. It is still extremely widely used, and continue to be actively developed.

Well I am putting the finishing touches on a front end that allows extracting PDF text visually. It's also able to adjust when the PDF page size vary for a given document type. Once you build the extractor for a document type, it can run on a batch of PDFs and store to Excel or Database (or any other format).
I sense this tool facilitates and automates a lot of the 'dark art' you mention. Of course there are always difficult documents that don't fit exactly in the initial extraction paradigm, for those I use the big guns ...

Because they've already been expended to keep the "growth" party going indefinitely, rather than ever letting things cool off. This includes 2008 - a short hiccup and then full speed ahead, culminating in VC's filling sidewalks and gullies with a glut of consumer goods, hoping for some kind of eventual profit. Eventually the bubble has to pop - when it's not allowed to do so relatively casually, it will do so catastrophically. When it's not allowed to do so at it's own time, it will do so at the worst time.
