Basic goods should never be in unregulated markets. People are overwhelmed by these complex products. There is no reason why someone needs to spend a weekend trying to understand how much electricity will cost. US productivity is the real loser here as millions of people have to waste so much time.
This, and also hospitalizations are a less exploitable metric. Self-selection bias isn't much of a problem, and the number of tests being done doesn't influence the results.

I would look at either hospitalizations or deaths once vaccinations reach a large percentage of the population.
I agree, but once vaccinations are widespread and we are confident that severe illness will be very rare, it would be hard to take drastic measures based only on the rate of new cases. There could be a huge surge of cases but we would expect a low hospitalization rate, so we would likely want to wait.
> There's simply not excess vaccines to go around at this point.

I'm sure there are creative people out there who'll, say, put you on the staff list at a dentist's office so you're technically a "first responder". For a price, of course.
I heard that relatively smart govs stopped doing stuff like this that the outsource whole projects, but now they "borrow" programmers e.g "give me 20 programmers with higher edu and 5 years of experience" and we will lead this project.

but I'm not sure how's the reality.
Most of the times I end up with put endpoints with verbs, because that often how businesses work. Objects and processes. Behind a REST resource there is a database table most in of the cases. But what if I want to send an email? POST /emails ? That's RESTless as well!
Looks like those who had power, could keep the heat going. Those that did not, had pipes burst from sub-zero temperatures. This flooded a lot of houses, even with water shut off.

But those who had power are getting dinged with a ridiculous bill. Cascading failures, with no escape!

Hope everyone can recover!
Leaking the secondary key will allow an attacker to impersonate user at any time and to continuously retrieve the encrypted vault. As I've said, it may not be important for a password storage, but in more sophisticated applications continuous access to an encrypted vault may leak important meta-information (e.g. number of files, their size, time of creation, etc.).
Perhaps if we call everyone in healthcare heroes and let them control the supply of healthcare things will get better.
You can email me at mail@konstantinschubert.com - I think there should be no problem with me sending you the "guts" at-cost once I have converged on a final BOM list.

I also have question that you might be able to help me with:

The frame requires some special shaping on the back-side to accommodate the "guts" as you call them. In fact, if I can freely choose the profile of the frame on the back side, I can probably solve some other constructional open questions I am having.
You seem to be an expert on this: If I provide a CAD file, what will be the order of magnitude in cost I am looking at for one or more custom profiles? Both in terms of design and in terms of per-piece production cost?

I'd be happy to give you some more details over email of course.
> humans look at those calculations and have a final say (and responsibility!) over inputting a decision into the computer in response to the calculations the computer did, plus any other qualitative raw data factors that are human-legible but machine-illegible (e.g. the "special requests" field on your pizza order.)

Or, have the computer make decisions when there aren't any "special requests" fields to look at, and have outlier configurations routed to humans. Humans shouldn't need to make every decision in a high-volume system. Computers think in binary, but your design doesn't have to.
Google Answers tried this way back when for general search related questions.
I don't care if you like it or not, if your numbers are actually that large, serialize it to a string and back out on your backend. You shouldn't be blindly dumping json to a structure anyways.

Either that or use a different serialization method to communicate.

No one else seems to be complaining about this issue. If JSON doesn't fit your needs, use something else.
Once vaccinations are widespread, yes.

Until then, getting out in front of a spike remains necessary.
So which is it in this case? Is this the really bad kind or the one we shouldn't care about?

bare repo synced up to S3 is my vote, with end to end encryption enabled. Why give some third party access to your data if you don't need to?
Finally, for those who think genomic/genetic studies are being used inappropriately, consider that while they may seem to me to be, in practice, just another sort of 'data processing' (which they are not - they are often just generalised (or even generalized), and their application to new contexts is not that different to simply applying similar analysis to previous contexts) it is possible, for example, that, for example, the study of the DNA sequences of fungi actually (if you want to make a broader and very broad claim about fungus genomics) might in the future yield, in this particular case, a much more detailed, more reliable (and possibly more objective) classification (if not entirely a direct one) of some of the fungi and their eukaryotes in our immediate neighbourhood.

I've also got to say that for the same reason, I don't have a lot of confidence in the 'fungal genomic analysis' thing in particular, because, on the whole, it seems to me to be so easily manipulated.
Phrased that way, it sounds like it is exactly the opposite of insurance. Pay a little less when times are normal, in favor of a spectacular lack of protection when times are hard.
Banks don't need to issue fully collateralized loans. That is not a thing people need to do in the real world, because banks will gladly issue partially collateralized loans.

As for anonymous loans, those exist solely to service criminal customers, so that is not an advantage of cryptocurrency.
Isn’t the whole issue here that you can’t obfuscate the origin of the Bitcoin? The transactions by Hyundai to buy the Bitcoin would be known; the transfer of those bitcoins thereafter ad infinitum are all documented in the ledger. There is no obfuscation. As others said, the only way out is to trade for another crypto that has secrecy (Monero).

So, to start, this is why single-payer, or national coverage is needed in the US. The risks must be spread out.

> Market still manages to function, and even without the individual mandate. How exactly?

The ACA tried to address this question with the individual mandate. It also has an enrollment period. You can't sign up on a whim.

Those two features were meant to prevent opportunistic purchases of health plans. Only buying the second you need it, rather than paying in consistently over many years.

It doesn't seem to be working well, because our healthcare market is hardly "functional" from the user's perspective.

I'd say that's because healthcare is something that fundamentally cannot be subject to market forces. Your life is literally priceless, and your health is worth more than you own. It is not a good or a service or a commodity, so it cannot be priced according to basic market theory.

In the US, our healthcare market isn't functioning. In other countries, they've solved for this by eliminating the market aspect, and treating healthcare the same as roads, fire, police, etc.
> Is it murder/suicide when you get blackout drunk and lose a few hours of memory?

No, but that's not what's happening in this thought experiment. In this thought experiment, the lives of independent people are being ended. The two important arguments here are that they're independent (I'd argue that for their creative output to be useful, or for the simulation to be considered accurate, they must be independent from each other and from the original biological human) and that they are people (that argument might face more resistant, but in precisely the same way that arguments about the equality of biological humans have historically faced resistance).

Are we really allowing blockchains to annex the word "crypto"? "Crypto" is "cryptography". HN is not "anti-crypto", it is staunchly pro-encryption.
I read genomic data collected for phylogenetic analysis of non-hymenopteran species the way I do, I don't expect to find a single specimen of that species that I haven't seen somewhere else, either within my own field of study or any other. It is possible that some new species of hymenopteran may be found from genomic data, and that this newly discovered species will then become a member of the Hymenoptera, but it would probably not be of that group we currently consider. That's the thing: the current state of the hymenopteran phylogeny is that although the species of hymenopteran I consider most closely related to each other has been found in multiple specimens from multiple populations, they are a diverse group, with many examples of them from multiple regions. That's the kind of thing we would expect to see from a modern, large-scale genome analysis, but that is not how I see it.
But you don't have to worry that much about kicking up a lot of dust (the self-loading meatbags on board can clean your solar panels) so you can just point your thrusters at the ground and play with the throttle a little
Gitea is a lot more than just a web UI. It's a whole multi-tenant platform if you need--it can act as an OAuth2 provider and drive SSO, login, etc. for all kinds of other apps or services. You could even have gitea used as a login/auth for a kubernetes cluster (with dex). It's like gitlab but way less documentation and slightly less polish.

Linux needs better user ergonomics. Even now it's incredibly frustrating to do things that are trivial with a Mac or PC. Don't even get me started about xrandr (arandr).
Ha, that's exactly what I've done for rust-encoding [1]! (Now obsolete, go use encoding_rs instead.) For TSP I resorted to a simple greedy algorithm, which was good enough for me.

To be honest though this problem of reducing a large table in the random-accessible manner is hardly new (e.g. perfect hashing) and pretty much everything can be automated only with some expert guidance. I'd like to see a neat solution that can interactively search remappings and emit a neat code in various languages.

(As a fellow Unicode commentator, I should also mention that the OP only concerns about simple case mappings as called by Unicode. But they are pretty much the only mapping we like to optimize for their prevalence anyway.)

This is a fine suspicion to have. It’s a fine theory, even. But why raise this suspicion for this particular neo-language case? Why not raise it across the board?

Such a theory is more robust if it predicts how the organization will work in general. Thus one would also be partial to suspecting that neo-languages are declined for political reasons as well -- that a few powerful voices simply prefer to find other solutions, and then find post-hoc technical arguments.

Such a theory works less well if it is only used to explain some particular (ostensibly) technical decisions.

There was a lot of Japanese immigration to Brazil, and recently there has been a movement of their descendants "returning" to Japan. These descendants are 2nd-4th generation Brazilians and often only speak Portuguese, resulting in the signs you mention in Japan.
Not just you. I've been using Go for many years, and while I enjoy the language I always found the environment of it awkward and unfriendly. Envvars on top of envvars. Work only in GOPATH, no wait, stop working in GOPATH. Vendor things...no wait don't do that either.

I think a lot of it is just growing pains, but it still feels clunky. My system has a .cache folder that everything already uses, why does Go need a special cache?

I’d do this in a second if you accepted insurance. It’s a huge hassle to go and get shots especially given I have to wait like I’m waiting on the doctor (sometimes it’s 30 mins then I have to wait around to make sure I’m ok.

But I just can’t justify the 100 bucks out of pocket each month when insurance will pay 100% for the shots. I know this insurance situation is ridiculous and out of your control. That said, I think it will be huge for you if you can work that out. Good luck and I’ll keep an eye on this for sure.
Right, but I guess many of the people who died chose to risk rather than be stuck with a bill they cannot afford. Being allowed deferred payment is not enough.

The same happens with PAKE during registration, where the user will need to provide the verifier. Since everything happens over TLS anyway, and hopefully, with pinning (in apps), this is not a huge concern.

I haven't checked Bitwarden, but even though 1Password uses SRP, the initial registration happens in a browser. (PAKE inside a browser with JavaScript is even more useless.) Their protocol though uses a strong key in addition to password, making password bruteforcing from the verifier impossible.

I'm not against PAKE — the biggest benefit is that you don't have to create your own protocol and make mistakes. What I'm saying is that for such use cases its security benefits compared to other protocols are negligible.

Well it limits the time horizon over which it can possibly become cost effective (you have to save more than $28 / charge on average).
Not communicating enough info to rebuild the tree is a separate issue, but it is mentioned in the article so the reader is not left guessing. In the example however, we have a set of 6 symbols that would require 3 bits each to represent uncompressed but instead assume 8 bits. It invites fairness questions, which would distract a reader that has not been exposed to the concept before. This is an otherwise nice intro to the topic though.
Amazing feedback. Very much appreciated.

Are you sure this isn't more of the Medium model, where they can show you a bunch of new people all the time, but you'll never actually follow them or see them ever again (just another nebulous medium post)? So really the only person that profits in this model is the company hosting the content.
As I've mentioned, when retrieving the vault other parameters need to match like Account name, Email etc.

You can add 2FA to the authentication process.

All metadata is obviously encrypted, the data is just a single blob. you maybe could try to guess the number of entries based on size but that's too dynamic as well.

These products were attacked before, decrypting the vault wasn't how they were attacked.

It was with bugs\vulnerabilities within the browser extensions that lead to data leaks. something else entirely.

I don't know, I get both recruiter emails as a hiring manager and as a potential hire. The majority them try to be familiar, each seems to fail with a different detail. Some guess my location incorrectly, or talk about a product launch from a competitor (attributing it to us) or get our industry wrong, or present skill-sets we don't need in a way that it describes them as being a core part of our architecture, or congratulates us on vague recent successes that could potentially apply to anyone. I had one last week that congratulated me on having a recent child (not the case) from I presume some badly matched social media profile with someone sharing a similar name. I get 2-10 of these a day and I really don't see many that take the time to actual do any research. It is clear most of form-fills, based on some kind of automated data collection or just tossing a wide net.
PHP is just a compile target here. The value it provides is that there is a lot of cheap hosting available. So, you can leverage these hosting options while using a sensible language.

The situation you describe is not really REST. In REST, URLs are opaque; they have no structure for clients to understand. So, clients don't make up new URLs in order to determine whether resources exist. They only use URLs that they've already been given. If they haven't received it, they don't care whether it exists. This is called "Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State".

People have said this but I really don’t think that’s true. That doesn’t seem to be what happens to wealthy people who have all of their material needs met. People love to do things. I think most people would “work” even if it was volunteer work. But if they got injured or had a life change, they wouldn’t be screwed.

People will find meaning. It’s part of the human condition.

It’s only when you take someone who has been working day in and day out for years and you give them a week off, and they’ll collapse on the couch and watch TV and feel bad. Because they are exhausted and haven’t developed any healthy hobbies. But if it was their whole life, they wouldn’t stay on the couch forever. Also when you give a worker a bit of time off, their friends are still working. If everyone can take time off, people would meet with each other. And that’s the oldest human pastime. The company of others. And it’s free!
I'm sorry, but this is an absurd statement. You can live very comfortably the vast majority of places in the US on $90,000. If you can't you're in one of the most expensive cities, pay a huge amount of debt servicing, or simply have unreasonable standards of what you think "necessities" are.

Long distance power transmission is actually quite efficient, particularly using modern high voltage DC. We totally understand how to move power across continents, and in fact are doing that right this moment globally. The technology is solid enough people are looking seriously at intercontinental power shifting now too.

Cost of storage has been falling dramatically. Lazard has slide decks that summarize the economics as levelized costs. I'd suggest browsing through them, as you've gotten the wrong impression of the real economics. We're crossing the threshold where renewables + storage is economically viable. That's not to say it'll be trivial to scale up the industry, but it's not the economic impossibility you're assuming.

Note that there's a very intense and effective PR campaign around this stuff intended to convince you that the economics are impossible.

Right before the pandemic started I went to an allergist and was considering getting shots, but obviously the last year has put many things on hold.
