"what about the long term implications of so many people catching COVID and having reduced lung capacity or long term damage?"

There is almost no evidence of either in mild-to-moderate cases of Covid-19 (i.e. the vast majority of cases). People who have been on ventilators, or hospitalized for extended periods due to severe illness are a different story, as ventilators themselves often cause lung damage. The scariest anecdotes that have been widely circulated online have come from ventilated or hospitalized patients with severe illness.

Beyond these anecdotes, stories of "long covid" thus far are predominantly based on anecdote and self-reporting of symptoms, and the symptom profiles that you hear are frequently vague and/or unverifiable ("brain fog") and in most cases, not significantly different than you might see with any respiratory virus.

For example, here is a report from the CDC that was widely reported as evidence that "35% of covid cases had long-term illness". However, "long-term" here, is defined as "three weeks", and "illness" was defined as a spectrum of mild symptoms that resemble any flu-like illness, such as fatigue, cough and congestion:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6930e1.htm

Even more specific studies have had serious problems. There have been a few reports of cardiac inflammation and other specific clinical signs in otherwise healthy people. To date, most of these have been debunked for statistical problems. For example, it was widely reported that Division I athletes were found to have heart inflammation after mild Covid-19 infections, which led the Big10 to start screening athletes with MRI before play. Subsequently, so few abnormalities have been found that doctors are now calling for the rule to be rescinded:

In short, the science of "long-term covid" exceptionally poor, and I caution you that most of what you're reading online is rumor and speculation.

If you can find a copy of it, read the paper titled "Jizz and the joy of pattern recognition". A great read with some lovely anecdotes about botany and birding. One that I fondly remember is a description of how someone is able to recognize a particular bird when it's just a distant silhouette. "It flies like a sack of potatoes".
The "hard" part of hard currency refers to its monetary properties - i.e. how easy it is to inflate the supply. On this metric Bitcoin is harder than anything else out there. So then we are arguing about whether it's a "currency" or not.

I personally accept is as payment, and therefore consider it a currency. Why would I want to buy things with it today when I can use ever inflating dollars for that?

ISO C 99, first sentence of Library clause:

"A string is a contiguous sequence of characters terminated by and including the first null character."

later in the paragraph:

"A pointer to a string is a pointer to its initial (lowest addressed) character."

The italics indicate that a normative definition is being given. So, the official C terminology is that a pointer to a null-terminated char array is a "pointer to a string".

In C, a label requires a statement[0] to come after it. A declaration in C is not a statement (though it is in C++).

One could make the same case for prostitution.

It is legalized or decriminalized in many countries (Australia, Netherlands, Germany...), so sex is widely available to those who need it and the price is not particularly high either. Especially in comparison to current sex doll prices.

So my guess is that this article is unnecessary alarmist and reductionist and that its predictions are unlikely to become true because what men want out of a relationship or even just a sexual encounter is more than just a quick discharge.

I couldn't not look up "Racoona Sheldon" and found:

Alice Bradley Sheldon (August 24, 1915 – May 19, 1987) was an American science fiction author better known as James Tiptree Jr., a pen name she used from 1967 to her death. It was not publicly known until 1977 that James Tiptree Jr. was a woman. From 1974 to 1977 she also used the pen name Raccoona Sheldon. Sheldon was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2012.[2]

That is incorrect. Sweden is currently seeing about 2,000 cases a day, and 5 deaths a day (7-day moving averages):

Today, they had thirteen deaths, nationwide, which was a statistically abnormal spike. The previous day was 1.

That's interesting. I think LSD (not micro, but full on) is probably the most "dangerous". I've seen people fall into full retard mode on LSD, never seen anything quite as severe from people taking shrooms. Personally, I've never had a bad trip on shrooms, definitely had one or two on acid. The nature of the trip is quite a bit different. I'd call LSD an "advanced" psychedelic, and shrooms way more beginner-friendly/benign. Writing none of this to disparage either, just interesting that you have a very different opinion/experience regarding their nature.
Hi folks, I'm the CEO of GitHub.

GitHub hasn't been hacked. We accidentally shipped an un-stripped/obfuscated tarball of our GitHub Enterprise Server source code to some customers a couple of months ago. It shares code with github.com. As others have pointed out, much of GitHub is written in Ruby.

Git makes it trivial to impersonate unsigned commits, so we recommend people sign their commits and look for the 'verified' label on GitHub to ensure that things are as they appear to be.

As for repo impersonation – stay tuned, we are going to make it much more obvious when you're viewing an orphaned commit.

In summary: everything is fine, situation normal, the lark is on the wing, the snail is on the thorn, and all's right with the world.

Hey, do you happen to have specific sources to dispute the news source?
I was involved in a somewhat similar situation in the late 2000's when working on a team building an eCommerce website.

We found a major national bank's newly public merchant gateway allowed anyone who knew the IP address of an authorised merchant facility (such as an EFTPOS terminal) to spoof its IP address and submit requests to the gateway. It seemed they just relied on the supplied IP address in the XML payload to verify that a device was authorised to use the gateway.

A small proof of concept showed that it was exploitable, e.g. a small script proved a bank card would be processed successfully without needing to actually be on an authorised network or go through any kind of session handshake - we didn't try any of the other functions like requesting refunds or cancelling payments but figured the bank would like to know they had a big glaring hole in their security.

After finally getting through their merry-go-round of customer "support" to someone in their IT/Security team, the initial cordial emails stopped and we received a threatening letter from their legal department blathering about legal repercussions of cyber crime and fraud etc. They also contacted the client and threatened to shut down their accounts and merchant facilities for our transgressions.

Anyway, definitely makes me think twice about reporting any public-facing security issues directly to a company, I don't have the resources or willpower to fight a major corporation if they decide to swing that way, that's for sure.

> Let's see if I can explain this. When you're writing an async, multi-threaded server in using the tokio runtime, async processes can be moved between threads. This means the memory can be copied, and so you need to ... pin things? OK, that's as much as I remember. Look in the HN comments after I publish this and I'm sure someone will explain better.

Ok, here's my attempt to explain Pin. First a smidgen of background. In garbage collected languages, we can more or less say "everything is a pointer". And given how garbage collection works, we can extend that a little bit to say "anything can keep anything else alive, by holding onto a pointer to it." Now in C/C++/Rust, this is very much not the case. The most common example is if you try to return a pointer to one of your local variables. Your pointer cannot keep that variable alive, it becomes a "dangling pointer", and your code definitely does not work (but might appear to for a while). Nothing new so far.

Now Rust comes along and decides to try to catch most of these bugs at compile time. So it makes you keep careful track of who points to what, and how long everything is planning on staying alive. As an important special case of this, one of the things Rust will essentially never let you do, is create object that holds a pointer to itself. It's basically the same problem we just mentioned: you might try to do something like returning that object, and the original memory location you took a pointer to would be destroyed, and the pointer in the returned copy would now be dangling. It's almost never safe, so Rust almost never allows it. That was pretty much the whole story for a while.

But then things got trickier. Folks started working on async, and designing the new "await" keyword. Like in most other languages, the goal there was that you could write something that looked a lot like a regular function, but secretly the compiler would generate some sort of struct for you, and the variables in your function would actually be the fields of that struct. (Why anyone wants to do this is a long topic, but the reason is the same as in many other languages, basically because having lots of threads is slow.) And this runs is into a very tricky problem: Having one variable point to another variable is perfectly legal. We do that all the time. You can't write normal code without doing that. But now that variables are actually struct fields...that means we've got an object that points to itself. And we just said that was forbidden.

The solution the Rust team landed on for this problem is called Pin. When you "pin" an object, you're essentially swearing that it will always stay in the same spot in memory, so that any pointers it has to itself will never become dangling. The exact way this is implemented involves a lot of Rust specifics (Pin is a struct, but Unpin is a trait), and the fact that it sits right at the boundary of safe code and unsafe code makes things trickier. But that's the general idea of pinning: a promise that I will never move this object or copy its bits somewhere else in memory.

The process is actually quite straightforward:

- Every citizen is issued ID that includes a hardware embedded public/private key pair. A YubiKey essentially. This step is optional, but allows ballots to be assigned remotely.

- Election commission creates and maintains their own key pair.

- Ballots are assigned remotely to eligible voters by encrypting with citizens public key, or assigned in person. Ballots themselves are key pairs, and the commission throws away the private keys after assigning them. The list of ballots is published signed by commission’s key.

- Votes are the position + a secret encrypted by a voter’s private key, signed with the ballot. Votes sent to the commission and published.

Everyone can see which ballot voted which way, verified by the ballot public key. Voters can verify the commission didn’t keep the private key by verifying their encrypted secret. Votes are anonymous, cryptographically verified, and if a citizen ID system is used ballots can be assigned remotely so the entire election is remote.

No blockchain or specific applications are required for this system, just agreed upon key algorithms. The downside is keeping private keys secure is difficult compared to watching over physical ballots.

A system similar to this was used in the recent Hong Kong protest election, with the ballots issued in person.

Estonia’s system is insecure, relying on private closed systems to store, transmit, and tally votes. They have made changes, but AFAIK they don’t provide a way to publicly cryptographically verify votes or vote counts, and voting has to be done through a specific app.
There are so many issues with GitHub that could be easily addressed if open sourced. So many in fact that there are entire unofficial GitHub repos dedicated to raising issues about GitHub. They won’t see any benefit now that they are owned by MS and slowly being integrated to AzureDevOps, but they could definitely have had a much improved platform if they had opened years ago.

Yes but Apple doesn't post XNU on GitHub. They publish codebase snapshots to a read-only website every once in a while. They have a GitHub mirror of the XNU codebase, but it's a few years behind and its Issue Tracker is disabled. Apple should engage more with the community. However the community needs to engage conscientiously. This leak is bad news, since it's the exact sort of behavior Apple probably wanted to avoid. It's so disrespectful. Last thing we want is for other companies like GitHub to think, "wow Apple was right, maximum engineering secrecy by default is the way to go."
Yes, almost certainly.

I'd argue that's an even worse look for an org like GitHub.
The source code was never very private in the first place—it's easy to de-obfuscate it. More importantly, GitHub doesn't want to support and deal with open-sourcing their core. There's some amount of irony here considering that GitHub is the primary place for other open-source projects to be developed, but it's important to remember that GitHub makes their money from private team repos anyway.

Depression is a logical and natural reaction to something fucked in a person's environment. The proper solution is to fix the environment, not to drug yourself into living in a dreamstate. Quite frankly, the world being the way it is today, you should be worried about yourself if you are not depressed. Again, ignoring reality is not the solution.
