At that point it's probably almost always better to just use some temporary space, rather than dealing with all the overhead of a branch (what if it's mispredicted, what about the resources in the branch predictor tied up by this that might cause something else to be mispredicted).

On the other hand there are many situations where you can guarantee that x and y are not the same space in memory (for example because they are local variables). There this trick might still be interesting (for the compiler or assembly programmer)
From this article [1], there are (at least) other three business building similar things. Perhaps you can apply to work in any of them.

Show HN: Delete your personal data from data resellers to stop you getting spam
Hi Hackernews,

I've started a service which deletes your personal data from data resellers/traders which as a result stops you receiving sales or recruiter calls/emails.The service forces companies which sell your data to Sales teams and recruiters to delete it. This works via GDPR and CCPA.

You probably have never heard of companies, like Cognism, VoilaNorbert, etc., which have received millions of dollars of investment selling your personal data without people knowing.

Example data stored by these companies:
Data about you:
Full name, First name, Last Name, Email (verified), Education (university), Location (city, state, state code, country, country code, latitude, longitude, timezone), Short biography, Homepage, Avatar, Job title, Job role, Sub role, Seniority, Facebook handle, GitHub (handle, avatar, company, blog, followers, following), Twitter (handle, bio, followers, following, status, favorites, location, site, avatar), LinkedIn, GooglePlus, Private phone #1, Private phone #2

Data about your employer:
Company name, Company name alias, Website, Country, City, State, Zip code, Company phone, Industry, Company address, Company LinkedIn URL, Company Crunchbase URL, Company Type, Technologies used by company, Financials, Year founded, Reply sentiment
Different data resellers have different data fields.

Link to the new service is here:
https://gosauber.com

The goal of the service is to make people aware what information is stored on them and give a chance to decide what and how your data is shared.

In the future I was thinking of adding functionality of also erasing web tracking data and different types of companies.
Looking forward to some feedback, as this is my Indie-hacker project.

Ah, do you mean that solving the problem described in the blog-post helps actually using erasure coding, since it requires knowing which parts are missing?

It can also help to remember that memories are far from totally accurate video recordings of an event. They are highly-lossfully-compressed, and there's some evidence that the act of recalling them is destructive, so every time a memory is recalled it is destroyed, processed, and re-written.

It isn't surprising that when a very out-of-the-usual event occurs, and the memory goes through this lossy compression and lossy storage, that when it is later reconstructed with the lossy decompression schema generated by a lifetime of "usual" experiences that it would result in phantom "usual experiences" being generated. It is very similar in process to those "deep learning" pictures that turn everything picture you feed it into bizarre mixes of dogs and sea creatures, because that's all that decompression schema understands.

Is there data on this? I’ve heard the opposite from admirers of more authoritarian governments, which “get things done” in part by moving quickly because they don’t have to deal with eminent domain proceedings.
Another big thing that R has an edge over python (and I guess Julia, but not sure) is making quick yet presentable plots of data that contain different factors that you want to show together. The matplotlib equivalent requires tracking different indices and manually adding layers for different indices.

I don't understand his point. HTML/CSS are fine if you know them but a lot of people have better things to do than learn those, so they use wordpress/medium/whatever instead of mocking about in html/css. Also, his blog is only text and has no functionality, so yeah, sure use html/css, but most apps like youtube/twitter have a lot of functionalities and they need js.

Most of the surpluses from all of these companies go to the consumer. [1]

Google is immensely more valuable to people, than the profit it generates for it's investors.

Same for FB etc..

As a more acute example, consider that Amazon doesn't really make any money. They are a giant NGO in a way.

So when the consumer surplus is 100x the producer surplus, hurting the producer doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

There's literally no reason for the French people to use these services, it's fully their choice, and they are fully free.

Everything Is Broken: And how to fix it
Oh, I get your point.

I mean, in the extreme, yeah, malicious hardware can exfiltrate secrets. A hidden antenna, as you say—or more subtle attacks (e.g. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1267336.1267341, though this would require more than just the Secure Enclave to be malicious).

But yeah, I think for the ordinary consumer this is not a useful distinction. For vendors who are thinking about supply chain attacks, for sure this is a real consideration.

Is this really a surprise to anyone? The US is second only to the USSR in incarceration rate. The disenfranchised, e.g. foster children, will certainly suffer disproportionately under such a system. The lack of social safety nets, mental health services, etc. certainly play a role, but the larger issue is the authoritarian nature of the US regime.

I'm sorry, but this is simply not true. Bitcoin's security is ultimately underpinned by each node being able to independently validate the chainstate. If nodes couldn't be guaranteed to receive all blocks on the best fork -- a task fulfilled not by miners, but by the continued availability of non-mining nodes that store and relay blocks -- then not only would miners be unable to build a high-quality chain (since they would have a hard time receiving each other's blocks), but also it would be much easier to eclipse nodes and/or feed them a valid but lower-quality chain that they would be unable to determine is the globally-best chain.

Also, block validity includes more than just proof-of-work.
Each node ultimately decides which block it accepts or rejects. The protocol defines the minimum criteria for a block to be valid, but each node may independently apply additional criteria that must be met. If all nodes decide to reject a protocol-valid block that a miner produces, then the block will be orphaned -- it won't matter how many descendant blocks get built on it, because the rest of the network will ignore them all. In fact, this is the mechanism by which a user-activated soft fork works [1].

> When coding, I feel a great anxiety if I am mid solution and have a large amount of the current batch left to complete.

This doesn't work for all types of coding, but I've found that TDD (test-driven development) helps a _ton_ with eliminating large batches, as well as reducing cognitive load. The trick with TDD though is that it's simple to learn, but hard to master.

Another good practice is to reduce the "blast radius" of changes so that you're dealing with one thing at a time. For example, don't introduce a new type (class, interface) as a method parameter while implementing the new type while writing tests for it while changing all of the callers of the method to use the new type. One (small) thing at a time, and prefer to keep everything compiling and working except for that one thing you're working on.

As for cooking etc., I differentiate between "tidy" and "clean". Mid-process dirty is common, but I strongly prefer to keep my working area relatively tidy throughout.

Oh boy, this brings back some fond memories from around 2013-2015.

Around that time I wrote very similar 3D map library (using three.js and cdlod-type approach for terrain rendering) and created custom AngularJS directives for similar purposes like your React library.

Sadly, my code was closed source and the startup I was working in went bankcrupt and my code went with it.

I do not agree with your argument; a reducer itself is an abstraction of state management, that implies quite a lot (pure function, immutable operations etc.) React itself (especially when considering the stable context API and hooks) does not introduce those concepts of reducers or immutable operations at all (except for the fully optional useReducer hook that was added, but not present in previous React versions). So its - at least to some extend - additional abstraction not present otherwise.

The U.S. healthcare system is built around the idea that everyone has health insurance. Obviously, that's not a valid assumption at all, which is one of many reasons why it's such a problem.

Insurance companies each negotiate a rate for various services with hospitals. People pay different rates depending on the insurance they have, due to these different negotiated rates.

This creates a perverse incentive where hospitals want to list their "cash" price as being higher than the negotiated rates, otherwise insurance companies will come back to negotiate their rates down to the obviously lower cash price.

In reality, it's usually surprisingly easy to get hospitals to give significant discounts if you tell them you're without insurance and you'll be paying in cash. Patients without insurance can often negotiate their bills down to a fraction of the original list price by simply calling in and telling the billing office they don't have insurance.

It's obviously not a great system.
Measurement error. How many people forget this detail and build whole lives around faulty studies like the Blue Zones.

The Blue Zones is also selective in other ways. Utah has similar life expectancy to Loma Linda seventh day adventist. This was left out in the Blue Zones "study" since it did not fit the data.

I think something else that would be of interest would be doing this for drug prescriptions: compare the cost that my employer, the NHS, pay for a compound and those that Americans pay for the exact same compound. This is easy on my end at least -- prices and prescription guidance are released in the BNF / British National Formulary annually and are all made available in public. I have never understood the US system of "co-pays" and found the whole thing very confusing.

For a few "popular" random examples that I think HN might have heard of: one branded Epi-Pen is £26.45; Naproxen (the NSAID painkiller) is £4.29 / 56 pack; and omeprazole (PPI used to treat gastric reflux) is £0.84 / 28 pack.

A more expensive example might be the cystic fibrosis "designer drugs" lumacaftor with ivacaftor -- 112 tablets are £8000 (to be prescribed by a specialist, if the patient has the genotype to respond to it -- a total annual cost of about £26k). The US equivalent is $379,780 [1].

(NB: The price you pay as a British patient is usually £0, unless you are a working-aged and working English person -- at which point it is £9.15 per item [independent of its cost] or a fixed "all you can eat" prepayment certificate that works out at about £8.83/month -- which is what I have. Oh, and plus the taxes, of course...).

Well, all of those things happened in my school too, including cracking my head open such that I had to go to a hospital's e.r. unit.

All of it was done by normal teachers that would otherwise teach history or geography and simply had taken a first aid course. I do not have a trained nurse at home either, and I can just as easily be hurt so to crack my head open there, dare I say more easily.

The issue is I considered "secured area" to be non public areas as opposed to "place people wait to board flights after security". Presumably he went through security so I wouldn't consider that penetrating a secured area unless he had items on him which shouldn't get through security.

I tried also recently the beta version of Julia 1.6 and the speed improvement of installing/loading package are quite impressive. Essentially, packages get precompiled after installation using multiple threads.

Beside this, if you only infrequently install/update package, you can use PackageCompiler.jl. I use it for PyPlot.jl (based on matplotlib), DataFrames.jl, ... and plotting some data quasi instantaneous as it is in python (even the very first time in a session).
Dark mode doesn't equal not "an eyesore". Take for example a sunny day in a well lit room the reduced contrast would make things _harder_ to read. So light mode wins there. Inverse that at night (typically). For me the low contrast of the text and the background is harder to read than HN's default.

I happen to like the density of information on HN versus the increased whitespace too. HN is compact but not too compact (for my tastes).

It's contextual, I'd recommend putting forth your work next time as an alternative and not _the alternative_.

For folks who don’t believe in universal medical coverage, this is part of the reason why it’s so inefficient for it not to exist.

The uninsured person going to the hospital at 1AM that requires an MRI because slipped a disc in their back still ends up getting that MRI. When they fail to pay that bill, which would be 5%-10% of their annual earnings, we all still pay for it. We just decided to layer in debt collection, anxiety, and depression onto the patient in lieu of cash.

As someone who still considers themselves a fiscal conservative, and also believes we need true universal coverage for all Americans, this seems like a no brainer to me at this point (and I say that as someone who would have not supported this in the 00s but has evolved significantly on this issue).
