Still lots of pitfalls with just MFA. Text/email being the worst and TOTP being somewhat better but not great. A lot of password vaults support storing the TOTP secret so they can generate time based codes which seems reasonable when the vault is 2-3 factor protected (some do IP heuristics, passwords, tokens, PINs, etc). Unfortunately if someone gets access to the vault in it's unencrypted state you're in for a world of hurt.

This is kind of exactly what I mean too. In your case, you have a clear idea of what might be going on. But a vast majority just don't. They trust the wrong parties and place blame in the wrong places. At least this is the case with the people I know.

To give an example, after the recent WhatsApp PR crisis because of the change of toc, I see a whole bunch of my contacts changed to Telegram. They could have chosen Signal but no. They switched from an end-to-end encrypted app to an unencrypted app! That's what paranoia gets you unless you know what you're doing. I've pretty given up on the average user on these matters.

And YouTube becomes even more useless to me. The LAST remaining use I have for YouTube (since it ceased to be entertaining by demonetizing all of my favorite creators to the point where they need to shill VPNs and underwear every 2 minutes) is to find tutorials and guides on how to do things I want to learn to do. Too bad I won't know when a guide is giving me bad advice, because there won't be a crowdsourced like/dislike ratio. Guess I'll have to go to Udemy or something.

Canada is like that, it's illegal to get private insurance.
You're overdosing on low-tier conservative talking points if you think Canada isn't a comparable example. Its a massive federal state with the same history, culture, language, religion, etc.

I'd really like a map. Here in the Bay Area, for instance, I could pretty reasonably get to games in San Francisco, Daly City, South San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, Colma, Brisbane, Pacifica, Burlingame, San Mateo, Hillsborough... all of these are with a 15-20 minute drive, but if I have to type each individual city name to check, I'm just going to give up.

Maps are also good because they help people judge more easily how difficult it is to get somewhere; a game in Berkeley may be the same distance away as one in San Mateo, but the game in Berkeley means crossing the Bay Bridge. Similarly, where I'm not likely to go more than 10-15 miles away as the crow flies due to the hassle of driving, rural users would likely be willing to drive 50 miles to a game because it's a lot faster to drive places in the country.
It is really telling that the people who complain most bitterly about
fiat currency fall into a few different camps, most of which want to
destroy any kind of government social safety net. On the one hand
we have the right-libertarians / "anarcho"-capitalists promoting bitcoin
etc. On the other hand, elements of the wacko/fringe right in the US
have been attacking "fiat" currency and Keynesian economics for decades,
loudly calling for a return to the gold standard.
By wacko right, I mean organizations like the John Birch Society,
Liberty Lobby, and similar, and ideological descendants thereof.

These seemingly disparate camps -- fringe right and "anarcho"-capitalist -- share
a fundamentally anti-democratic philosophy. For example, one of
the seminal texts of "anarcho"-capitalism is Hans-Hermann Hoppe's
_Democracy: the God that Failed_. If you look through my posting history,
you'll find a quote from Tim May, an "anarcho"-capitalist and leader of
the cypherpunk movement, wherein his anti-democratic sensibilities are on full display.

I'll end with a quote:

Begin quote.
More than that; we can tell them that they will search the pages of history in
vain to find a single instance where the common people of any land have ever
declared themselves in favor of the gold standard.
They can find where the holders of fixed investments have declared for a gold
standard, but not where the masses have.
End quote, from William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech.

I'm totally in favor of a cryptocurrency ban; we will not be crucified
on a cross of bitcoin.
I suspect that they're straight-up lying about it being "at the request of creators". I think they're just copying the Twitter model. Twitter became a powerhouse of pro-Trump fake news and single-handedly made qanon a thing. I guess YouTube wants in on that kind of cash flow.
Again, drugs are a only a small part of overall health costs. They only make up 14% of healthcare spending[1] in the US. For contrast, they make up ~15% of healthcare spending in Canada, and ~16% of healthcare spending in the UK.

Your theory does not explain why the other 86% is so bloated.

Seems like it should be a market inevitability. There are just so many things wrong with YouTube. The main obstacle is the bandwidth cost, and that's not an issue for any major tech company.

I think Facebook could actually properly compete with YouTube if they wanted, it's just that their insistence that you have to be logged in to access content makes it much less appealing as a platform, because you can't just link people to videos easily.

I am also in favor of health care for all, but I'm not necessarily in favor of subsidizing all kinds of reckless behaviors by having the public pick up the hospital bills either.

Like, if you want to go, say, base jumping (just picking a risky recreational activity here), I'd be OK with saying "you need a separate insurance for that, if you hurt yourself the government isn't picking up your tab." That seems like a more straightforward way of handling the problem than to try to somehow tax base jumping.

The trouble is, of course, where to draw the line. It's possible that the cost of these voluntary risks is just negligible compared to general health care.
For (1), I’ve found the opposite. The ICs end up having smaller meetings, and producing more coherent designs.

Then, they’re forced to write their designs down, people read them, and there is a larger meeting to discuss (which usually is only needed for big course corrections).

Yeah, it seems clear to me that the long-term vision is importing a lot of functional features to make using functional patterns/immutable data easier. Which I think is an excellent choice because that stuff is super useful.
Asking for donations works if you're also an active member of the community you've created.

People donated over $130k to Tarn and Zach Adams in 2020 (creators of Dwarf Fortress). Upon saying that, that's their sole source of income. I think a lot of players are aware that if they don't donate, Dwarf Fortress will never be finished. Well, it never will anyway but...

But Tarn actively gives updates on his work, creates podcasts, and participates in the forum, and has been doing that for more than a decade. I'm not sure if he still does it, but if you donated, he'd draw you a picture and send it to you in the post. I've still got mine from 10 years ago.

There seem to be an awful lot of accounts here pushing the narrative - which seems to have come out of nowhere - that this is some kind of conspiracy to hide the number of dislikes on the White House's official Youtube channel. I guess someone wants us to believe there's some deep popular dissent and resentment against the Biden administration that they desperately want to have covered up.

Sorry gentlemen, it's a reach. Crippling senility didn't stick, pedophilia didn't stick, whatever Hunter Biden's laptop was supposed to be didn't stick, and this... is getting kind of desperate. I know you're gearing up for 2024 but please, find some better memes. Quality over quantity.
I think you have to allow for the possibility that not all high schools have ’social classrooms’. Mine was filled with a bunch of children in adult bodies operating on hormones and hairspray. I hated it so much I didn’t want to be surrounded by it in college and decided to commute instead. I dropped out after three years.

I was also fortunate to find a career path that didn’t require a degree, and while my oldest child had no choice based on her career interests, I’m having the same struggle with my youngest who’s in her freshman year with an undecided major.

Well... things did get kind of fishy with Waze after Google bought it. Waze made money by showing you ads for things along your route when you weren't moving. How do you maximize the dollar signs in that equation? Maybe they stopped doing that in favor of a model that has less "conflict of use cases", but I wouldn't know.

There aren't plenty of ways of quickly figuring out if a video is bad.

It's clear that people is this discussion are focused on different types of videos, and the varied responses to the removal of downvotes reflect this. I'm focused on board game videos, which are the only videos I watch. A large number of downvotes on a board game video indicate that the video includes major rules mistakes. So when I see many downvotes, I simply play another video. I'm not going to bother performing a thorough investigation of the quality of one board game video that has a lot of downvotes.
I tried googling it and didn't find anything.

Is this still the opinion they hold?
This is actually true. I distinctly remember that about 50% of the videos I used to watch on YouTube made me think "better watch this before the copyright holder finds out it's here". Entire British TV shows, Japanese anime movies, stolen corporate training content, audiobooks, etc. Impossible to replicate the growth trajectory in a ContentID world.
can you share what the bug was? :)
>Downvotes are a signal about the percentage of people who watched something and disliked it, albeit an unreliable signal that can be gamed.

I guess I just don't believe this. There's no gaming required. Youtube can and does adjust that number at will. It's not indicative of anything to me, anymore than a positive product review on Amazon is indicative of anything to me. Follower counts mean nothing. Likes mean nothing. I think most of us who write code here know the game is rigged in every way imaginable. Even if view counts went up, I wouldn't assume Biden is suddenly popular. I would simply assume Youtube decided to monetize the view count by selling them to creators for perceived clout or someone else did with bots, and I would probably be right. The angry voices on Twitter are there because that's Jack Dorsey's personal opinions and he amplifies them. If Jack was a Republican, it would be a non-stop Bible thump instead.

None of it is real to me. It's all imaginary numbers and GPT generated text blocks with thispersondoesnotexist.com profile pictures. I mean, it wasn't even a week ago where the media is running video with Biden's hand passing through reporter's microphones as he answered questions. Almost everything online and in the media is faked now.
As a cancer survivor myself, the US loves to tell you "early detection is the key to success!" but then loves to not test people. I had to go through 6+ months of "please test me" before they finally agreed to. One you get to the oncologist, it becomes great. To quote mine when I asked if it was true Thyroid cancer was the "easy cancer", she said, "people say that, but it isn't true. In your case, yours was going places". To translate, it was headed into my brain. Only because I insisted on testing was it caught early.

I am jaded enough to wonder if it is because the medical industrial complex makes more money off late stage cancers.
In an insurance pool the other members subsidize you just as much as you subsidize them. Government healthcare could work that way in theory! But making government the administrator of a traditional risk pool is a boring technocratic argument. The substance of universal healthcare is a one way subsidy from higher earners to lower earners.
Yeah; care to take a guess as to what % of HTTP traffic is human vs bot?

(Given your comment, I suspect your guess is likely to be much closer to reality than the vast majority of even the relatively clueful people here on HN.)
It still seems legit to actually straight call it a race condition: You're racing against the garbage collector.
it's a subsidy vs a tax.
I cannot respond to throwawayboise directly because of thread limitations.

On its face, this argument is clearly wrong. "Absolutely nothing", is not equivalent to extremely little. Especially when, as in the case of Google Maps, there is a large multiplier.

Elections are a different beast. Assuming first-past-the-post system where impact is only at the margin (50.0001%).

Whereas direct action on CO2 production is incremental. We can argue it's not enough, but we cannot argue it is literally nothing.
Taking an alternate route to avoid CO2 emissions is basically the opposite of virtue signaling: it actually has a real world impact, and doesn't "signal" to anybody because no one else on the road can even tell whether you're taking the low-carbon route or not.
We run a few high traffic websites, and would be great to monetize our US traffic at $10 cpm. But your profile link to your LinkedIn page returns a Page not available error. Please get in touch - would be great to chat.

> Google Maps will soon default to the route with the lowest carbon footprint

This is not the title of the blog. And that matters because this doesn't make sense.

The fastest route should be the lowest carbon footprint, which it should currently default too.

"road incline and traffic congestion"

I find it unlikely road incline makes 'any' significant percentage difference. I'd want to see the mathematics on this. Adding this complexity seems like PR BS.

'Traffic congestion' might make a difference, sitting still in traffic might be better than going around. Not good for your mental health though.

How about better directions so we make less wrong turns and also save on CO2 emissions. How about better predictions on congestion. A better product will do both.
Somehow I’ve never heard that through all of this debate over the last decade.
IV have a lot of integrity actually.
When people from the future look back, they'll call this sort of thing "corruption". This isn't the result of a free-market medical system, or a largely-socialist-at-different-points-but-not-here medical system, or any medical system at all; it's just a cynical way for the middlemen to make a few bucks, and as long as that's the incentive, nothing will get fixed for the sick person who needs healthcare.
It's ironic that you accuse them of sensationalizing headlines by making up a sensationalized headline. The headline for this article is pretty neutral and sets up an interesting article that teases a very deep topic with references to books that explain it further. And the cartoon was pretty funny. This is exactly what I expect from the New Yorker and I'm rarely disappointed.
Love it. The dislike, down arrow, and other such options just serve to give the mob an opportunity to bury things they don’t like. I wish HN would get rid of the downvote.

> Here's another way of thinking about the problem: Consider the task of building a robot vacuum cleaner. The robot should be able to vacuum a room of any size or shape, containing furniture or other obstacles. It should make sure to clean every spot on the floor, without getting stuck by hitting the walls or furniture. It must also avoid getting into an infinite loop cleaning the same spot over and over again, and must be able to tell when it is finished. Since computer vision systems are expensive and difficult to build, and the robot should be simple and cheap, a further restriction will be imposed that the robot will be blind - it won't have a TV camera to watch for obstacles. Instead, Jt will be equipped with touch sensors, so it will be able to detect when it hits something or brushes up against it. It can only tell whether there's an obstacle adjacent to it in front or on the side.
Do the arithmetic: according to that very reference, the Australian stage-IV-at-diagnosis statistic for lung cancer is not 80% but 42%, and it seems this is unchanged since 2011 [1]; notwithstanding which, cherry-picking lung cancer (notorious for late presentation) hardly invalidates the much more general observation being made.
