The incentive is that they get to market first as well as the inherent value of the medicine. They could also be paid the cost of R&D or a market price for the initial release of the information rather than a royalty (ransom model).

They did. That's the Gemini protocol. I recommend reading the spec to properly understand the constraints they were trying to meet.

That sounds like a great option too, depending on your situation.

One difference is that the CA is on the hardware key, but the cert (and its private key) is not.

Imagine you're on a team of 50, and anyone on the team might need emergency access to a host at some point. You wouldn't want to buy 50 keys and 50 safes. Just designate a couple folks to manage emergency access. They can manually mint a cert for a colleague as needed, and send it over a secure channel. No security key needed to use the cert, and it self-destructs after a few minutes.

Yeah, but have you ever worked out the rocket equation for a spaceship that accelerates at 1G for a full year? There literally isn’t enough mass in our solar system, even with a ridiculous engine with an ISP of 5000 and perfect alchemy to convert all raw mass in the solar system to rocket fuel.
It's a chicken and egg problem: if you can't SSH into the machine, how do you add your key to the SSH config on the target machine?

You could use a very long lived key, but then as soon as you have multiple people who might need production SSH access, you've got access control and revocation issues. The SSH CA is a good minimal solution, because the CA can issue only short-lived SSH keys (few hours at a time) that you use once and throw away. Also, CA trust scales better because it moves user management burden to the certificate issuing process and removes the need to modify the SSH config every time you onboard a new user.

It's a pretty standard practice. Here's a post from Facebook about it from several years ago. This post is just about how to do it using YubiKeys. https://engineering.fb.com/security/scalable-and-secure-acce...
Every consumer internet company needs to heed this warning. Instead of digging deeper and deeper into metrics like "time spent in feed" or "upvotes per session" or "minutely active users" (because daily and monthly active users is so 2015)... It's pretty simple. Find a way to ask your users what they actually think of your product (then, yeah, by all means use data to validate/explain that)
The reason to avoid linked images that are displayed inline in the page is because they would permit tracking.

If you mean something like Base64 encoded inline images, then those might be viable.
The ostensible reason was ideological, but the underlying reason might well be an attempt to boost “engagement” and assert greater power over users (which could then be milked in various ways, eg: targeted messaging and selective sharing)
The military is used to protect "The American Order". There are some non-trivial benefits of the American Order:

1. Secure maritime trade for all. Protection against piracy and gone are the days when countries would just steal each other's cargo.
2. Global trading currency that is backed by the biggest economy in the world.
3. Establishment of a global trade network. Industrialised countries have access to more natural resources than ever without needing colonies.

Remember how the world was before the American Order. Colonies and hostility all over the world. Europe was in two world wars and would have probably been in another one with the Sovjets.

Generally speaking, people trust the American rule of law and trust that the US will help her allies. This only made relevant by having an ultra beefy military. It's hard to put a price on these things, and which portion the US tax payers have to pay.

Note that the current administration wants to cut back on these costs. European countries are benefitting a lot from the American Order, and should perhaps shoulder more of the costs.
The median household income in the US is ~$64k currently. Since disposable income is net various income and social taxes, it implies an effective tax rate of 30% at the median income.

This number is deceptive in that the US is geographically massive and the economies, State governments (taxes), and cultures vary widely across thousands of kilometers. The difference between the median income of the highest and lowest States is almost 2x, so your experience will be very different depending on which State you live. Also, in terms of discretionary income, cost of living varies a lot so disposable income isn't the entire story.

Note that the average discretionary income (money left over after all ordinary expenses) in the US is ~$2k/month whereas the median discretionary income is $1k/month. This implies that high income earners (think $100k, not FAANG) have a few thousand dollars left over each month after expenses.

I've worked in Europe for several years and the differences in discretionary income are stark, both due to income levels and taxation. Americans are kind of oblivious to just how freely they spend money due to having so much discretionary income; we tend to assume the rest of the developed world is similar when that really isn't the case.

As a musician, I'm sad to see that social media are almost exclusively visual. Very few browse their feeds with sound on, videos have subtitles, and any audio content needs a big "SOUND ON" banner to even have a chance of being heard. Music streaming services have all but sunsetted their (admittedly lame) social features and focus on their "1-click mood/activity-based background music" experience. Music fans are relegated to toxic echo chambers like reddit.

I recently heard someone say "music was central to youth culture from 1965 to 2005, but that is no longer the case". I can't help but think it has to do with the 'social media on smartphones' experience, the medium is the message and so forth.
Oh wow, I just noticed I quoted OP from years ago. I love how HN is able to come full-circle in this way. What a small world.
> The top academic institutions in the exact sciences and engineering (old IITs, IISc) are excellent by any standard, and the students are top notch, due to the large pool from which they are selected and the brutally tough selection process.

It's a result of huge population and most institutions being trash so students are concentrated in one place. That is in no way a feature of the education system itself.

Unfortunately, universities in the United States have unique problems. In much of the world, higher education is a largely government-supported thing. However, in the US, over the past fifty years or so, even nominally government-run institutions have become increasingly dependent on student fees (primarily tuition, but also lodging fees) to meet their expenses. If students stay away, or even stay remote, the schools may lose so much cash that they're no longer financially viable. (This in an environment where a number of smaller schools were already on the edge -- in Massachusetts, two reasonably reputable private universities, Wheelock and Mount Ida, were recently forced into mergers, and a third, Hampshire College, is on the ropes.)

Here's an overview from a few months ago -- but with recent elevated COVID rates in heavily populated states (Florida, Texas, California) calling the wisdom of reopening in doubt, the worst-case scenarios described here are looking a lot more likely then they were in it was written: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/...
I derive some hope from the fact that there seems to be an accelerating trend of people doing their online socializing in places other than Facebook, even if they still technically have a FB account. I don't have stats to back this up (FB itself has an obvious motive to obscure the fact that this is happening, so I don't trust their usage statistics), but I'm meeting more and more people who state that they only visit FB rarely, and express a preference for WhatsApp, Discord, or some other service for actually getting into contact.

A related anecdote: I finally took the step of deactivating my FB account some months ago, and when I told people about this I mostly heard sympathy rather than disappointment or disbelief.
The New York Times surely already serves their pages through a CDN, silently, and with the CDN having the full technical capability to modify the pages arbitrarily. Signed exchange allows anyone to serve pages, without the ability to modify them in any way.

That's a good point.

After 25 years in the making and now waiting to be launched, technology of course has advanced enough for JWST to be "obsolete" in that sense by the time it's operational. However, new space telescopes take so long to be operational but they still give us amazing data... even if what they give us is peanuts from old dusty tech it's still worth it. Anyways, JWST is going to be incredible... heck, even after so many years Hubble still produce a ridiculous amount of good data and research and it was designed in the 70s! Can you imagine if launching was cheap and we had a constant flow of budget for space telescopes and we could launch a new improvement every year (after an initial ramp-up of, say, 10 years)? Unfortunately launch costs and cadence has been a major blocker so far to the things you asked about IMHO.

Great article.

Infinite content being firehosed to a content consumption bandwidth constrained population (still 24 hours in a day).

The whole consumption model changes - most folks end up drinking from the firehose by very lightly skimming an incredible width of content (even those it is narrow in sense that it is within the confines of the social network algorithms), while never deeply engaging, and rarely going outside their sweet spot.

Then the consumption model changes the supply side. And we loop. What breaks this loop?

I doubt obesity makes a very large difference because even though it increases morbidity I think it has a larger effect on mortality. If you're obese you might have to retire a few years early, but you'll also die even earlier missing out on years of being taken care of in a nursing home while you suffer from Alzheimer's.
I've recently switched from Markdown to ASCIIDoc ... the article makes it sound like the browser is optimized for text but isn't it really the server that's rendering the text that's sent?

Maintaining that superiority does not require trillion dollar useless fighter jet boondoggles, or invading a country for no country wide gain, or being stuck occupying said country for decades due to a fabricated problem, or the use of mercenaries (private military contractors) who have connections to politicians.

There is zero valid reason the world’s mightiest military should need mercenaries.

A far better plan to remain as the world leader would be to court the world’s top minds and lure them into living in the US permanently. And all it would have required is handing out green cards at graduation. But that is another topic.
The FAQ has a section on this (https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html)

The problem is that deciding upon a strictly limited subset of HTTP and HTML, slapping a label on it and calling it a day would do almost nothing to create a clearly demarcated space where people can go to consume only that kind of content in only that kind of way. It's impossible to know in advance whether what's on the other side of a https:// URL will be within the subset or outside it. It's very tedious to verify that a website claiming to use only the subset actually does, as many of the features we want to avoid are invisible (but not harmless!) to the user. It's difficult or even impossible to deactivate support for all the unwanted features in mainstream browsers, so if somebody breaks the rules you'll pay the consequences. Writing a dumbed down web browser which gracefully ignores all the unwanted features is much harder than writing a Gemini client from scratch. Even if you did it, you'd have a very difficult time discovering the minuscle fraction of websites it could render.
Naively optimistic part of me thought this was going to be some grand accessibility endeavour for sight impaired people, but this is cool too.

No, it's not just a matter of technology, or at least not in ways that are readily addressable. Hydrogen molecules are so small that the simply pass through solid matter as if it were loose-weave cloth. Worse, it embrittles most metals.

And the leaked gas, especially if in an enclosed space, is flammable or explosive over a very wide range of concentrations.

Long-term storage, transport, and use, at scale, is hugely problematic.

Your memory of the situation isn't accurate. In the first phase of treating it seriously in the US the main concern seemed to be around surfaces and the most commonly offered advice was "wash your hands and don't touch your face."
"There was a recent case of a Karen receiving mob justice to the point people began harassing the law firm her husband runs (granted she also works there), affecting their livelihood. We don’t want to get to a point in society where your character flaws destroy your life."

To be clear, this was after it was filmed that the couple was pointing guns at peaceful protestors who were protesting on the street. The woman in particular had her finger on the trigger and was pointing it at black people walking by. (EDIT: I don't know if you're familiar with gun handling, but this is considered extremely poor "trigger discipline", which is a term describing how to handle and hold a gun safely. This is comparable to driving drunk in its reckless endangerment. One should never point their gun at a person unless they intend to shoot that person. One should never put their finger on the trigger of their gun unless they intend to fire that gun. This woman, in violating both, is expressing her intent to shoot people.)

"#MeToo had several examples of people’s career being thrown out for offenses that were basically round objects being pushed into a square hole (Aziz Ansari, Al Franken, there were a few more)."

Aziz Ansari totally, 100% owned up to not recognizing how his fame affected the social dynamics in which he now functioned and how that in turn affects consent. He apologized and his career is ongoing.

Al Fraken took photos of himself groping a female soldier while she slept in her uniform, so there's definitive proof he was doing these things. He was in a position of power where he could access women and he chose to have photos taken of him groping people who are serving their country.

I see no round objects being pushed into square holes, here? What should be done with Al Franken, who groped soldiers in their sleep?

(EDIT: I should also note that character flaws ruin lives all the time. Someone who is more prone to recklessness or thrill seeking can get themselves or others killed. Someone who is more prone to addiction becomes addicted to a life-ruining dependency. Someone who is too arrogant can ruin their professional network. Someone who is too complacent in a setting where stuff can be made out of date quickly can swiftly find themselves out of work. I don't take it to be a large leap that someone with the character flaws of "threatens to kill innocent bystanders" and "gropes women in their sleep" might not also be negative in their lives.)
