I haven't read the article - am just about to - so this may be addressed in it, but:

I'd like to add that even if you do suffer from some aspect of SLS rather than crossed wires, medication can be key in enabling other forms of improvement.

Medication can be what enables you to seek other forms of therapy, what gives you enough energy to make it to the next appointment, what enables you to sort out other factors in your life, be it self esteem, socioeconomics, or relationships.

At least a few years back there was a pretty big sentiment against "happy pills" and medication, which I believe is harmful. That said, I don't believe solely in medication either, but want to maintain that it's an important tool that can serve either as a solution, or as the enabler of a solution.
I think I'd support jail time for this abuse, FWIW (to be fair I've only read the one article). I'm reacting to the gendered reasoning among the poster above. It's bad because it's an unnecessary medical process used (apparently) as a punishment, not because it stole his manhood or whatever.

I'm fine if you're super upset. But if you're MORE upset because of the gendering interaction, that's wrong. The poster above clearly was.
Oh, yes, that makes sense. I'm definitely not trying to entice people with that description, I more intend to help them understand what they're looking at when they do try it.
Since local zoning laws effectively rule out boarding houses (or other affordable living spaces) in most of North America, 1BR is essentially the entry level in most jurisdictions.
The among taken in this scam is chump change compared to the YouTube scammers. YouTube is a vastly bigger website than twitter and way slower to respond to accounts begin stolen by scammers. I remember seeing an Ripple giveaway scam that in a single day made 100k with just a single account ,. And fake bill gates one made 40k. the list goes on and on. My guess is the total taken is in the $3-5 million range from youtube alone.

Ask HN: Cyber Security Resources
Hello,

I'm starting to take my career in a slightly new direction, moving away from pure DevOps and over towards DevSecOps and eventually a pure Cyber Security role (if everything pans out.)

I'm wondering what resources you would recommend for something studying for their Security+, CySA+ and eventually their SSCP?

Also, does anyone know of a Hacker News equivalent for Cyber Security?

Thanks in advance.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Completes Its Final Tests
China's isolationism is mainly self-imposed. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and most of the modern internet is banned there. It has very strict currency controls that prevent its citizens from transferring funds out. Foreign businesses are very restricted in what they're allowed to do and what they can own. And if they make money, it can be very hard to get it out.
Also the men's rights activists are a mean and bitter group, generally. I got interested in the "men's rights movement" in the early nineties when I could really have done with the support. But all they could do was hate

It is like comparing the "black power" movement - which generally is about how it is good to be black and the "white power" movement which is generally about how it is bad to be, erm, not white!

I guess from a position of power and privilege it is hard to identify shortcomings and needs in your own community
TBH, these are exceedingly fringe scenarios that doesn't affect majority of expats living in China, i.e. certain motorcycle vloggers who got on the government shitlist. For the purpose of this article, if you're a sought after silicon engineer, you'll essentially have diplomatic immunity. China is going ham courting foreign talent in strategic field like 3x salary for entry level position, building churches for Korean silicon engineers. That said, things have recognizably declined for segments of expats in China in the last 10 years, Xi's policies is one component, but another driver is local elites have usurped expats at the top of the social hierarchy, plus you have a lot more bitter failed expats. Compared to 15-20 years ago when the expat population were almost exclusively professionals from multinationals instead of English teachers / losers back home. Sure, the fun, unregulated, drink with local corrupt official days are over. But if you're a professional who just want to enjoy a big paycheck and Chinese culture, you'll be fine. The company will take care of you.
Disentangling Punishment from Government Revenue
Why can't the time slices be much shorter, say 15 minutes rather than a whole day?
Probably many, but that's not really the problem. We want people to be developing and appropriately testing theories. What we don't want is:

* Treating people against their will outside of specific extreme circumstances which this was not one of

* Coercing vulnerable populations into treatment

* Concealing treatment plans from guardians

* Treating in a manner that is not in line with evidence based practice

* Treating in a manner that is not designed to advance the patient's well-being but is instead designed to pacify the patient for another person's convenience

* Running what amount to illegal clinical trials that have not been validated for medical and ethical soundness, safety, and legitimacy by a medical oversight board

* Insurance fraud (I don't know how payments work in correctional facilities, but generally speaking there is zero probability this treatment plan would result in reimbursement from an insurer. I would naively assume they lied about what they were doing for reimbursement)

As a healthcare practitioner, behavior like this makes me sick. The legal system should open up on this guy with all they've got.
Does it completely open source?
Can we use it as a platform? a solution that uses its backend and frontend?
I wouldn't even call that social engineering, just fraud
Is working 50% less an option? :-)
Some people, like me, will watch the same video multiple times, if not dozens.

YouTube likely isn’t forgetting that you’ve watched it. It is probably suggesting it again because it thinks it has been enough time you’d want to watch it again.
We have enough old swords from when swordfighting was important that we should have some idea of what traits were valued.
EU and member state institutions and agencies are not universally exempt.

There are some specific justifications that are scoped to government use only, in areas such as law enforcement or collection of statistics. But agencies still need to implement the law, document the specific requirements for any type of data they collect, observe time limits on retention, produce transparency reports, and so on.
Where does the article make mention of no other householders?

If anything, the article suggests the opposite. It notes that the average minimum wage earner would need to work 97 hours for a two bedroom, and 79 hours for a one bedroom. That reflects two full time minimum wage incomes: a working couple for a one bedroom, and a working couple with children for a two bedroom.

It is also worth noting that this is a very privileged position in many cases. If you are a committed couple, are rooming with a close friend or family member, or fit a limited number of other circumstances - this may be acceptable. Otherwise, it is effectively saying that it is okay to expose minimum wage earners at greater risk because, well, they are minimum wage earners.
I agree that it is easy for a metric to loose it's original meaning. I've had luck with OKRs; Having a non quantitative goal, and possibly changing quantitative based targets aimed at making the goal happen.
I don't think so. Project Silica talks about storing the data in droplet-looking voxels rather than etching language symbols. Cool video of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CzHsibqpIs
We use TINYPulse (https://www.tinypulse.com/) for this very reason at my work; it takes about 10 seconds to send someone a shout out, and not only does their manager see it, but everyone in the company does (we're a small startup).

If I notice that someone has really killed it in something but has no recognition at all for it, I will also/instead point out to that person's manager, especially if it is a junior engineer
And yet, almost all workers live somewhere. Common strategies not mentioned in the article:

1. They live in areas with below average rents.

2. They allocate more than 30% of income to rent.

3. They find other workers to share rent with.

4. They live in studio apartments instead of 1-2 bedroom.

5. They live in rooms instead of whole apartments.

6. They live with family.

7. They live in an inherited home.
Well, I'm aware of the "expense" part and have no issue with it. It's one more thing to think about.

I'm more puzzled with the day to day differences...

In software it's - just software: code quality, making new features, fixing bugs, deployments, etc. Here it's much less software, more hardware and mostly it's organization-wide processes involving IT. Is this doable for someone who's been dealing with 99% of software related issues? Can transition happen?
Bitcoin is sort of notable vs US-dollar in that it’s significantly more of a novelty, and unlike the dollar, doesn’t have same fraud recovery path.
FWIW some Samsung phones (and probably others) have this functionality built in. I've tested mine and I consistently get readings within 1 point of my gold-standard Nonin pulse oximeter.
The process in general worked like this:

The candidate is found, either by the hiring manager themself, through an internal referral, or via the internal sourcers/recruiters (shout out to them for being amazing at their job!)

The hiring manager sets up an interview panel, where they recruit relevant stakeholders (in the case of an engineer, this was usually peer engineers and sometimes other managers who that team worked with a lot).

The panel is usually around four hours, with four or five people, including the manager, someone from HR, and some future peers.

If that goes well, then a second panel is set up for round two, also about four hours, which usually involves a Director or VP or two, maybe another higher up peer or sibling team peer or manager, and a higher up manager from HR.

Throughout the day, the hiring manager solicits feedback from the interviewers, usually within 15 minutes of them finishing.

The final decision rests solely with the hiring manager, but usually most of the feedback needed to be positive to move forward. The manager could also stop the process at any time. So if all the feedback was "meh", they could save everyone some time and cut it short.

Out of town candidates would have the both panels set for one long day, or sometimes the afternoon and following morning, so for out of town candidates who got all the way through, it could be pretty grueling.

After all that, if the hiring manager decides to hire you, you could get an offer before you even leave, or within a day or two usually, unless there were multiple people for one position, and then you had to wait for them all (although if you were amazing you'd get an offer anyway and then if someone else was good they would get an offer too).

For me personally, the entire process from first contact to signing offer papers was less than a week, and that was pretty typical at the time.
Uhm. It ended up backfiring in the US. Here in the Netherlands they said the same thing about masks (and made it pretty clear why this was said) and it ended up being just fine. It seems abundantly clear that your authorities simply had no such plan in mind.
>Engineers worked 24 hours a day for 15 days straight, executing over a thousand scripts and instructions — a 1,370 step process, according to NASA.

I have nothing but massive respect for the everyone involved to get to this point!
I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here. All these things have happened and still sometimes continue to happen. I don't know whether anyone has ever denied that but I certainly haven't.
> Do you really think it's a good objective for a 55 year old cook for a non-profit organization to be living with room mates? Would you want that?

This, like many others, does not sound like a job that warrants minimum wage so no.
man who falls for this stuff. i've been seeing "send me money to this account to get double that" scam for like 20 years, its hard to believe there are people who still don't know better.

Before I have an actual Youtube account, I had thought it would have some really smart recommendation algorithms.

But now that I have my personalized "bubble", I'm utterly disappointed. At least from my observation, it mainly uses three strategies: 1) repeating what I've seen, 2) offering video from the same channels I've watched from, and 3) suggesting really popular videos.

The repeat is the worst, especially since it seems to favor interviews, funny clips, etc. which are not really re-watch worthy, even if they were a good watch for the first time.

Then, since I haven't subscribed to a lot of channels, 2) is melding into 1).

At this point, I don't even look at the "Home" tab anymore. I do a refresh on my subscribed list, and if nothing is there, I just move on.
We already have a floor for parents - the EITC. We have the mechanism in place already. Just not the political will to raise it.

Historically, the EITC has been supported by both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Sure, but it doesn't have to be flamebait. We want curious conversation, not denunciatory rhetoric, and those two don't go together.

If you want to read more about how we moderate this sort of thing on HN, I've written lots about it: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....
Why is this even a topic on HN, with 77 (+ mine) comments?
You need to have a local broker/bank to deal in US dollars and in US stocks. While it's easy enough in the UK or Canada, it is really challenging to do for a random individual in most countries in the world.
>which follow a centralised model where a central body could collectively negotiate for drug prices

That's orthogonal to universal healthcare or even a single payer system. There's nothing preventing you from having the whole country be represented collectively, but still have private insurers, like in germany. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2019/how-drug-prices-a...
It seems to me (FWIW as someone curious abt Rust but not seriously using it yet), that "as" should require a warning label. If "unsafe" means something else, then "unsound" could be used. If the types are always safe to convert, "as" is fine, but if the types involved allow for a lossy conversion in any case, the compiler would require you to write "unsound as". You are both acknowledging that you are aware of the issue and notifying future users of that code of a potential problem. Rust could go ahead with the saturating conversion to remove the UB AND require the "unsound" warning label.

If required to an an "unsound" label, that might be enough push for some developers to add their own explicit "if" guards or use another conversion method without having to deprecate "as".
Check out Talon Voice. It's way better than these solutions.
In my experience you need to hold your breath for a while (like 2-3 minutes) for blood O2 to start decreasing. Certainly doable (and safe as long as you're lying down away from water) but might take some practice getting used to the discomfort. You can hyperventilate a bit before to make it easier (though never do this in any other breath holding scenario).
"universal healthcare" just means everyone's covered.

That is unnecessary. You know what was meant. No need to be deliberately obtuse
The following is not a comment on this particular incident and is far outside the overton window.

Men, specifically young men, commit the overwhelming majority of violent crime. This is at a great cost to society. The victims suffer as a direct result of the crimes, the perpetrators suffer as a result of their necessary detention to protect the wider public, and detention itself is expensive.

Would it be so terrible to offer the most violent offenders an option of becoming chemically "feminised", so as to expedite their safe return to society? Yes, is probably the correct answer, but it doesn't hurt to discuss the topic. From a utilitarian perspective it might offer an alternative to the existing criminal justice system, where recidivism and sentence length could be reduced substantially.
Paris is expensive, but I've rented studio apartments here in Grenoble, France, for about 450eur, yes.
Given, Grenoble is nothing of not a small town compared to Paris. But those apartments were also in the very heart of the city, one was directly at the river with a panorama view of the alps.

edit
since these details matter here: two apartments in question. One was a 1R without, the other a Studio with amazing view.
Both were very pleasant, central, and I could have found cheaper had I been willing to not have them that central.
/edit

So yeah there are much cheaper places than the US. German rents tend to be cheaper still, with higher wages.

That all being said, calling out the people at the very bottom for their lavish lifestyles / demands seems a bit disconnected from the economic realities at the moment...
Where was that mentioned? This wasn't a hack. A "life hack" maybe.
How does encryption help? When you only need to achieve a 1-bit change it doesn't matter much if the exact change isn't predictable.
He's been groomed for decades.
Using any third-party removes the benefit of not using a third-party.

Also I'd test your speed report, but ultimately I don't want waste 300GB or 85GB of my monthly download cap on that experiment. In the past download was slow and CPU usage was high while syncing. I don't see people running to devote a large portion of their internal storage or download cap for crypto, unless they are crypto enthusiasts.
I love Matt Levine's column. I get it (emailed to me) for free.
Which is a distinctly western sort of thought, that insists on a person being somehow outside and not of the world in which he inhabits.
This is likely one of the unintended side effects of 1) women entering the workforce 2) higher retirement age. With double the supply, it meant you could no longer raise a family on a single income, because the money is shared between more people.
Now I want to visit the city and find out by myself.
Which bit of it was unthinkable? A vacuum, servos, microswitches and control software are 1980s technology.

The depth sensing camera, but he didn't use that; the 3D printing components were a convenience but not necessary as he said himself; the 3D modelling program to define the locations on his head and angles to cut could have been done with older software. Was there anything which couldn't have been done by a sufficiently motivated person with tens of thousands of dollars of workshop (like he has) in 2010, 2000 or 1990?
Possibly. The only reason this would be stupid is because Bitcoin has rapidly been centralizing. I suspect many exchanges might start blacklisting any wallet that has any transactions from this wallet.

On the other hand, they can’t really do that. At that point the attackers would be able to poison any wallet just by sending a small amount of BTC to it. Therefore it seems like the only penalty is that they’d have to re-wash their coins.
CCP is formed from people who wants to defend China's interests and defend the country from imperial powers of Japan, British, France and more. CCP fought wars to defend the country, it is the imperial powers that invaded China in the first place, and they thought to divide the land, the rich resources and colonize all of the Chinese people. Who is war mongering? Are we reading the same 20th century history? What about 19th century history?

CCP inherited many positions on sovereignty and territorial rights from Qing and Republic of China, which the US historically supported. Western media reports on China is far far from factual as well, with so much disinformation, biases and subjective views. Chinese positions and views are rarely covered in the media. Its so rare to see any positive views on China, despite a lot of amazing work that government has done to improve ordinary Chinese person's live. Here is the thing, we all view the world through our own lens and our culture. And the media is the reflection of how people interpret the world. The west has its position on China, Chinese people have their position on China. Chinese people and by extension CCP never want to dominate the world, they just want to defend what was part of China previously and be able to do so as equal peers. Any disputes and sovereignty claims should be negotiated and settled with mutual respect. And of course, no one is perfect, are there times when China is unethical and way to aggressive, definitely, but we should all use dialogue and attempts to understand each other's point of view.

Chinese wars are all about sovereignty and border disputes. U.S. wars are all fought on foreign lands in the interests of U.S. global dominance in foreign policy, trade, economy, technology etc. US uses diplomacy, ideology and identity politics, and military to challenge anyone who is considered a threat to the U.S. dominance. Who is more imperialistic and dominating you tell me.
Thank you for your feedback!

1. Nope, we currently have no way to edit what's in the overview page, so unfortunately you'll need to edit your README file to add additional links.

2. In general, we're going to use an approach similar to BundlePhobia where we would show the gzipped/uncompressed file of the final file, but it does make sense to allow maintainers to flag this (and other information) as wrong.

3. Our search engine is still work in progress. We started with the npms implementation, added additional layers of information from our dataset, and will iteratively add more and more factors to search results ranking. Unfortunately, we still can't grant for a specific package to be shown in the search autocomplete. We are, however, adding a "search result page" that would show more than the 9 results that you see in the autocomplete.
Can't say I do a lot of stabbing, other than boxes. But any kind of cutting where the material can hold onto the blade, like whittling a stick, or cutting a fair-sized piece of rope can cause a non-locking blade to fold onto your fingers.
I think VR might fix these issues. The problem isn't necessarily lag, but spacial awareness and sound. With 3D sound and a representation of everyone in a virtual space, it might become a lot easier to have proper group conversations.
This comment was in response to "...it's better just to play their game...".
Why wouldn’t that cause someone to discriminate against an older person?
>unlike the dollar, doesn’t have same fraud recovery path.

You mean electronic us dollars? I doubt you'd be able to recover physical us dollars if they were scammed.
I would argue that it is not.

Social engineering is when your target is unaware that what he does is wrong or will do damage.
