I agree, there has to be an active cover-up or scandal for it to be a "-gate".

But more importantly, your summary of Watergate is wonderful. It reminds me of John Mulaney's line about the NY Post: "It's like you're talking to someone who heard the news, and now they're trying to give you the gist."

I'll let the other pedantics on HN correct you, I'll just encourage you to go read up a bit on the topic so you get the bits in the right order.

What is the mortality rate of one of the more severe stains of the common cold or the flu? I'm sure we've had one of those that got to 0.5% or more in recent history?

Does that mean 0.5% is too low to shut everything down?
Someone commented that it almost feel impossible because of how stupid some of these situations are. I did tell my entire department,staffed with primarily young people, who just started their professional lives,that private mode in browser will not stop the company ( or me personally) from finding out what they are browsing. The horror on se of those faces!:) Then I did repeat it again to make sure everyone got it. And then, someone asked " and what about our mobiles connected to WiFi?". Yes,those too. Every single website.
Every single time this happens it's because there isn't much money to be made due to the low volume of sales, therefore no competition and no economies of scale.

I have replaced my right AirPod (1 in 3 months), but as yet, these don't hold a candle to the PowerBeats3. I think I went through 5 replacements in 1.5 years.

With PowerBeats, I had to send in the headphones for warranty repair, losing any use (in the couple of cases they maybe, kind of kept working). For the replacement AirPod, at least Apple sent the replacement before I had to send it back to them.

I'm sticking to the issue of consistency and honesty which you introduced and I'm avoiding all substance and value judgements in keeping with the dialectical style of the forum. The analogy was intended to help you understand why Illych is not somehow inconsistent or hypocritical.

It's not inconsistent of Illych to try to dismantle a system that (you claim) he benefited from. The Jacobin progressives in the US are not inconsistent to try to dismantle the foundations of their host system through the procedures of that system. You would have to limit your observations to prima facie statements to argue that they are not intellectually dishonest crypto-marxists (BLM excluded). Illych and BLM are perhaps more intellectually honest than AOC and Omar. ++good for them.

Ask HN: What's Your Backup Plan?
Doing something tedious and manual is a good way to let your brain unwind and kind of meditate. After a bit you get all sorts of insights into how to make the process work better. Or if there's nothing at all worthwhile about the process, your subconscious can still be solving other problems in the background.

One of the problems I find with impressing people with your technical abilities is that they start piling projects on you and you stop doing the tedious stuff that teaches you what needs to be done and how.

The greatest frustration in my career has been that everybody wants to do grandiose automation projects without being willing to assign any proportional effort and talent towards understanding the existing processes.

This puts the IFR of the worst flu in recent history (2009 H1N1) at 0.03%

I really dislike that this is free by default, and the paid version is done in the style of NPM (free for everything except private packages, custom subdomains, support). Bandwidth is not free on a global CDN. All it takes is one guy linking a dozen packages from his insanely popular WordPress theme or a poorly-built site ending up on the front page of Reddit to drive costs through the roof. Even if you managed to build out your own DIY CDN, you'll need big pipes to avoid choking every morning when folks open their browsers. Good caching headers won't save you.

The net result is a service that can't pay for itself—because such a small percentage of users require the paid features—leading to the service shutting down (breaking every site linking it), demanding money later (breaking most sites linking it), or getting acquired by a company that might inject unscrupulous code into packages.

Charge _something_. Anything.

Yup, at least in Germany that's the legal situation: They send out cease&desist letters because torrent upload counts as "sharing the copyrighted work without a license", and because of bit-torrent high connectivity they just assume by default that you are doing it on the "scale of a business", stipulating absurd damage sums.

I once torrented an episode of the show The Americans, my last option as my usual sources were weirdly all offline and it was the middle of a season, the show wasn't even legally distributed in Germany at the time.

Turned out some German publisher picked up the distribution rights to the show and their first action wasn't to make it legally available in Germany, but trying to profit from Germans who followed the show trough piracy by sending out serial c&d letters demanding 800€ payments and stipulating damages in the range of 10k€

It's a pretty wide-spread and annoying situation to such a degree that using public torrent is a very quick way to get expensive mail as there's a whole lot of anti-piracy outfits in Germany that monitor public torrent trackers for German IPs downloading files named after copyrighted works to send out those c&d letters.

First, the flu doesn't have the other severe consequences outlined in the article.

Second, basically everyone except small children has had the flu, and has some immunity to it, while we're all "immunologically naive" vis-a-vis SARS-CoV-2.
> the assumption is an attacker can break into the main app only?

Yeah, the idea is that the main app is more vulnerable (both due to being more exposed, and also because it's often more complex), hence it should have very limited permissions into the internal infra.

This approach is also used in other situations, like browsers, where the process that processes website content is very locked down, and can only perform actions in the system (network, filesystem, etc) through a limited channel to an outside process.

(In reality, of course, neither of these is a perfect match to reality. The infection rate will never hit 100%, but the fatality rate in a widespread infection is likely to be greater than 1%, because health care services will be overwhelmed.)

It also doesn't seem like Apple is simply ignoring the issue. They aren't advertising issues with the AirPods pro, but there are support documents which discuss the issue, possible solutions and to contact support if it continues.

That said, what happens when the warranty ends?
Even those things wouldn’t shut down the country if it were, for example, sexually transmitted. The problem that you can contract it just by breathing in the wrong place at the wrong time is the real desaster. You wouldn’t want to take those odds even if it were 1% drop dead/99% completely fine.

Circa 1993, I was "browsing the web" on Lynx (IIRC) via dialing the local public library. That was, however, before I had created any web pages. And before I had any graphical browser running on my own computer.

I'm pretty sure the last time the flu got anywhere near a 0.5% IFR rate was the 1918 pandemic, which also devested the economy and resulted in shutdowns.

Covid-19 also is substantially more transmissible than flu.

There is nothing since 1918 that is comparable to where we are now, at least within the US context. Even the polio outbreaks (where in schools, movie theaters, pools and other features were shutdown to protect kids) don't really compare.

People say this about spammers (“there’s always some other sucker”) but scam-baiting still seems to work to diminish the number of scams/spam in the world.

Another comparison I like to make - it's in the same ballpark as going on a Space Shuttle mission (2/135 = 1.5% crashed). Would you want to send your loved ones on a Space Shuttle ride (minus the yay, going to space thing)?

And that's not accounting for the massive side effects, or the fact that the fatality risk is much higher for vulnerable populations.

Yes; I felt it important enough to warrant inclusion in the TL;DR version.
Apple isn’t alone with that strategy. I bought a fairly expensive Dell XPS 15 that was overheating. They literally replaced the mobo (which had an i7 and a GTX 1050 attached to it) four different times... and the entire process was a year long nightmare.

Between express shipping, in home techs, and parts, they spent way more than it would have cost to replace the unit. And, it never solved the problem. I have to underclock it before doing anything very CPU intensive.
Did you actually?
Yes the flu does... You can develop heart failure with the flu for example. People die because of this.
I'll be the first to admit that it's a contrived model because 95% of people would perish quickly if we lost all energy and food supply chain. But if anyone survives, soon after hoarding the immediate needs (air, water, food, security, shelter) will eventually convert to specialized jobs, which is when bartering is less useful than a standardized currency.

But the idea that gold doesn't have some sort of special status is strange to me. People don't talk about doorknobs or topaz when they diversify from financial products (stocks, bonds, cash, etc). Cryptocurrency fails to be useful if there is no reliable electrical grid or network. Gold has for long recent history (until about WW1) backed almost all currencies, so it has significant precedence.

And jewelry is useless to me, but most people carry some form of jewelry and some cultures even store lots of gold in jewelry in case they need to run/escape. It's not useless to have a store of value shaped to fit your body.

That has no bearing whatsoever on what I said. For small kids, the flu and COVID-19 are the same - they're encountering it for the first time, and are basically ok with it.

With adults, flu and COVID-19 are different: they have encountered the flu before, so it doesn't rampage through a population. COVID-19 does.

In other words: for flu, we basically have achieved some level of herd immunity already.
