I would suggest having a bank or similarly regulated institution manage identity recovery. They can declare a login invalid, and they can go through the process of KYC (drivers license, SSN, in-person visit, etc) to get you a new identity.

Think Facebook login except instead of tab unrestricted entity that steals every piece of dignity it gets its hands on, its a bank or legal custodian with strict responsibilities, penalties, and insurance in case of identity theft.
In Sweden, BankID covers well over 90% of the population between ages 20 and 60 with a unique electronic ID. (Including 98% of those between 20 and 40.) It supports identifying yourself with a credit card and pin using a card reader given to you by your bank or alternatively (and more commonly) a pin combined with a smartphone/computer that you have identified as being yours.
It would be tough, no doubt.

But it's not like splitting the feature into 100 patches of 250 lines each would make it any quicker to review. Or merging code that was known not to work, as it was only a fraction of what was needed for the functionality.
> Mach 4 missile that maneuvers with the engine shut down, does not experience compression heating from hypersonic flight

Well, if it's only Mach 4, it won't ever experience hypersonic flight, so that's pretty much a given.

> Phalanx CIWS was prototyped in 1973 and has been in service since 1980. Shooting down incoming missiles with machine gun fire has been viable for a very long time

Sure, if you are firing at much slower missiles and you've got a platform big enough to mount a rapid-rotating turreted Vulcan on, and even then it's not super reliable which is why it's being replaced or supplemented in newer deployments with systems based around the Rolling Airframe Missile.
That’s the law as I understand it, yes. CBP set up search checkpoints on highways (even those parallel to the border) to stop and search all vehicle traffic sometimes.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ilcgHr28ojhzf3RF7V5Uw

I offered that information about citizen arrests to illustrate that whether or not something is legal or permitted by law does not have much practical effect on the ability to constrain ICE/CBP. They have repeatedly ignored injunctions from federal judges.
"The easiest thing to do is to simply not take electronic devices with you anywhere in the world"

That sounds monumentally complicated and not easy at all. I understand that a tiny percentage of highly engaged techies can manage what you are talking about, but 99% of people cannot.
It would be really nice of the Library of Congress had a simple API so this could just be a thin (even client-side) wrapper around that, and you could easily turn the Library of Congress' URI for the work into a link onto a platform where you could purchase/download/stream the work.
I certainly didn't think about that they would have to re-implement the entire (or at least most of the) computer system the pilot is interacting with as well.
The web platform has lots of tech now for fully offline web apps - the currently used term for this is a 'PWA' or Progressive Web Application. On Android and iOS in many cases there's a little option in your browser to install a website as a PWA, which puts it on your home screen and locally caches the assets. IIRC Twitter and Google Maps both support this for their website.

Of course, writing a PWA is still a huge pain in the ass, and it doesn't give you those guarantees you mention from native apps - auditability, etc. But maybe it could get there, who knows...
The problem with some deep tech is the tech doesn't solve a problem until the next generation. It's less appealing as a solo bootstrap founder business.
That's a wonderful initiative - I'm really intrigued by that, and might sign up for one of the subscriptions. Thank you for posting.

There are other aspects here.

If you use a third party service for your email ID, the third party can ban you or like you mention - disappear and basically take your identity away.

If you rely on national ID cards, you have another set of problems.

If you rely on phone numbers, these can be sim-jacked.

If you rely on bio-authentication methods, you risk your privacy especially when the master database gets compromised.

Relying on any single source seems to be a recipe for disaster. Perhaps the solution is to have multiple ways to authenticate yourself, with different levels of credibility and to let as many of them survive as possible. Phone numbers and email IDs seem to have similar levels of credibility, but I haven't seen domain name service providers take to phone number authentication as much as I would have liked, but things are looking up. Alternatives could be backup codes, which some registrar's use if you have 2fa enabled.
Fwiw, I had the same problem with Paragon but have had a lot more success with Tuxera’s driver, if you’re still looking for a solution.
The procedures cost billions and are usually scheduled to last about 46 months.

Refuelling and maintenance of civil reactors takes place more often (usually every 18 to 24 months) and is much quicker - about 45 days, not months). Gen IV reactors even allow for on-line refuelling so the reactor can continue to operate with no down-time.

What can I say? I am a man of talent :)

My point is the same as George Carlin’s: think of an average person and realize that 50% of the population is stupider than that. If people are dumb enough to fall for the Plandemic videos they are easy to manipulate. Leadership requires training, intelligence, wisdom, and expertise, which is why so few people possess those qualities. Do you truly think an average person is capable of making decent decisions when governing? Hell, something like 3/4 of the US voters don’t bother voting once every two years. An average person is neither qualified nor interested in making decisions that affect their country.

If you want another counterexample: California. It’s the only place where the ballot can contain a referendum to lower taxes and another referendum to increase spending and people sincerely vote yes to both without ever realizing wtf they are doing or what it means.

I would rather live in a society where politicians just do their jobs, don’t steal or fuck up, and I don’t have to think about it because their decisions are rational. There is nothing rational about a mass of random citizens.

> I don’t see this as a fight. I see this as paperwork flying back and forth, with nary a courtroom or judge or battleground to be found.

Again, the simple view that this is "paperwork flying back and forth" is not very useful and serves only to dilute the matter of those papers. You might as well say that robbery is just particles exerting force on one another.

The defendant will be given time to prepare a case and procure evidence to present to an appeal board, of administrative trademark judges. The only way it won't is if Apple withdraws their opposition, or if they decide not to offer any evidence for their case. In any other case, it's going to involve trademark lawyers, which costs money. From the article it seems that they have already spent "many thousands of dollars" in costs. Whether or not they are lying is not a matter of opinion, nor in any case a mischaracterization by the author of the article.

> This is just some routine filings that don’t IMHO raise to the level of a fight.

Okay. I can't really argue with what your opinion on what constitutes a fight is. To you, a fight involves guns or knives. That said, I don't think that your opinion is a very solid basis for saying that the article mischaracterizes the issue by calling it a fight. Some other person might say that it's only a fight if the participants are wearing boxing gloves, but an author can't possibly account for every literal-minded interpretation one in a thousand might make. Instead, the author thinks highly enough of the readers to assume that they will understand that a "fight" in the context of a trademark dispute doesn't usually come to literal blows or even harsh language.
This is needlessly reductionist and pessimistic. It is wholly reasonable to pine for the simple joys of life and their passing.

Here are charts of excess mortality: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

You can clearly see excess mortality for Sweden, higher than previous years.

Edit: missed the under 65 bit, would be interested in seeing that data for Sweden, but you can see the collated graphs for all the countries that contribute and you definitely can spot spikes in the lower age ranges.
The point stands though. A confidence interval says given the data, and assuming it's not an extremely unlikely scenario (5%), the average falls within this range. It's a huge range, and is thus, not that useful. That's 4 orders of magnitude there.
I do think it has to do with spending money. Don't see the same levels of defense for companies with "free" stuff. If Epic had only sued Google in this issue they'd have had more support.
Umm ... You may be confusing net production with actual production (ie plants produce pretty much all the O2 but they then reabsorb it)

I suspect it is also worth differentiating between production as has been going on for millions of years and industrial production - there is really no way to collect or harvest the oxygen made by plants - but that is kinda implied by the GP statement (that they wanted to cool the roof make electricity and Oxygen production (the implication being something useful to a business based on that roof)

So I can see your point.

> Revlon's bank repaid Revlon's loan using money Revlon didn't have. Oops! But that's not clearly a reason for the lender to return the repaid loan.

I think the point about it being money Revlon didn't have is important. The money came from the bank's accounts, not Revlon's. The owner of that account (Citigroup) had no debt owed to Brigade, so I don't think the bill pay analogy is quite apt. This seems like nothing more than an accidental transfer, which happens all the time and are always reversed.
The (distant) third largest party behind the other two, the U.S. Libertarian Party, certainly would curtail this kind of overreach.
I built a recommended like this at a prior job. We carefully tested it against the original “naive” algorithm which was used direct user behavior clustering.

What was interesting is that the naive algorithm got better over time and the incremental benefit of our new code got smaller.

Why?

Because the training data for the naive algo included user behavior from the new one. As we created better recommendations, users clicked on them and that fed into the old algo!

Coming to your product: what is to prevent a customer from using it for a few weeks, copying down the results, and then using those recommendations forever?

They’ll get most of the benefit for very small cost.

Australians can use https://booko.com.au and it includes prices as well.
"an HTTPS server automatically signs any file that it serves" is a perfect way to put it.

When it comes to getting access to code signing certificates, in many cases the state of the art is to have the signing certificate escrowed so aggressively that the only way to sign a binary is for it to go through a full build pipeline, because the central build servers are the only thing with access to the certificate. That significantly reduces the risk of someone managing to get your signing certificate and sign malware, which means you can focus on other vulnerabilities in your pipeline like your revision control server or your library dependencies.
Middlebrow dismissal. Revelations often come from simple events where the mind is allowed to wander. Even in our own lives we could offer a few.

I'm always amazed that some people think performing statistical analysis (training neural networks) on text can lead to actual intelligence and knowledge about the world, if only we increase the number of model parameters by a few more orders of magnitude (GPT-3 and the likely strategy for GPT-4).

Of course, all this without any model of how likely it is that the knowledge is embedded in the text, such as trying to train simple models on descriptions of a simple world. I think it's very likely a model couldn't even learn simple arithmetic (addition, subtraction multiplication, division on the rational numbers, let's say) given all of human writing on arithmetic, nevermind being able to reason about the entire world.

In real life, I don't even know a person who dislikes Trump. I have never encountered a pro-Biden sign. Maybe it would be different if I worked for Twitter in San Francisco?

I love how you point out that our criminal justice system wasn't prosecuting the criminals because it was infested with corrupt Obama appointees.

It's not zero though. Here's one convicted just last week:

"Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-fbi-lawyer-kevin-clinesm...

The crime was altering an email so that it would work as evidence to get the FISA court to allow spying on the Trump campaign. That is far worse than the incident with Nixon.

Ask HN: Why Not a “Gems” Function for HN?

So the original problem was the disk decryption password, but now instead you have a internet accessible serial console?

Seems to me like it would be better to keep the sensitive info on a separate encrypted partition/disk and let the server boot unencrypted so you can ssh in and unlock the sensitive data.

This solution would probably be harder to maintain and secure than a more straightforward solution to the original problem.

It also depends on interconnectedness of social networks. If the 30% that had it is highly concentrated in one sub group, then you might see low rates now, but high rates when groups start intermingling. Herd immunity at a national level won't save nursing homes, because almost by definition, there won't be herd immunity in that local community.
Yeah it should stabilize in the next couple of months with the release of OpenZFS 2.0 as that release is supposed to signify the unification of ZFS on Linux and FreeBSD. ZFS on FreeBSD is being rebased onto ZFS on Linux. Theres also been some talk on adding MacOS zfs support OpenZFS but thats still up in the air.
It seems like there are not many common-knowledge questions that you can't find answers to on the Internet? Most of us rely on web search these days.

Also, making up answers isn't necessarily a good skill to train for if accuracy is needed. It would be more useful to quote and cite the source.
Also some linguistic interest:

"Waddy" is one of the words for cowboy, especially a cowboy who drifted from ranch to ranch and helped out in busy times. Jo Mora and Ramon Adams both suggest that the word derived from wad, something used to fill in, but this notion isn't widely accepted. Neither is the suggestion that it comes from chewing tobacco. To add to the mystery, waddy first meant "rustler", then "cowboy". Also spelled waddie.

Woad (also wad), is a plant grown, mostly in England to make a blue dye consisting primarily of indigotin. It was supplanted by indigo, then later by synthetic dyes. People who worked the woad plantations in the Fens of Holland, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire still call it wad, just as it was pronounced 1000 years ago. People who worked in the woad fields were called waddies, or less frequently woadmen. (From Woad in the Fens by Norman T. Wills) It likely crossed the atlantic with migrant agricultural workers (cowboys).
> You presented forum posts from random users as if they were from Spotify. ;)

Literally nothing to do with our discussion which is about your bogus assertion that apps are forbidden from differential pricing.

Unless you're illiterate (increasingly possible!), my Spotify link indicates that Spotify chose to stop differential pricing.

So you'd rather breathe the waste NOW from your power source instead of storing it where something maybe, possibly might go wrong?

Waste is not a good talking point if you want to be anti-nuclear given what we know about just exactly how bad air pollution is--and the medical science around air pollution just keeps bringing more and more bad news.

You could have a Fukushima every year and it wouldn't match the harmful effects of fossil fuel air pollution.
>I believe the base rate of people who never find a sexual relationship in their entire lives (assuming they want it) is miniscule. Some quick searching puts it at around 0.5% by age 40.

On the other hand, I can get any book I want, including long out-of-print books. I remember years looking for a copy of Clarke's "The Deep Range". Now getting a copy is as trivial as pushing a button.
