I am not speaking against vaccination though, nor am I comparing the two or at least that was not intended (see the following sentence in parentheses). I was talking about the vaccine cert specifically (which we have for COVID-19 only, so I could have replaced "flu shot" with anything else, really), and regarding that, what is it that is not true (as far as what I said) or worth down-voting? I do not understand. Is my comment being perceived as anti-vaxx for some reason and thus, gets down-voted?

I do not believe the vaccine cert being fair, I believe it is discriminatory. People who cannot receive the vaccine for health reasons may not have access to basic health care in my country (if they go with it), and they already cannot get a job in many places. How is this not discriminating? Heck, if people are so caring, then how come that I am being down-voted for expressing such a view, a view against discrimination? Actually, for the most part I was only talking about life around here (i.e. facts, that for some reason get down-voted, unless they read too much into my comment), and was not expressing such a view. In this comment, I specifically do. In any case, no worries, I do not expect you to actually give me a reasoning as you cannot possibly see inside their heads.

The data on pregnancy shows no impact. In fact if I remember correctly there were fewer incidents than the placebo group. So maybe it helps reduce pregnancy related issues??

It's not so much the assumption of guilt as a kind of 'bias'.

'It doesn't make you good look good', or it 'kind of makes you look guilty'.

I think most people recognize that it doesn't imply guilt, but it's a strong signal in that direction.

A person who gets a mugshot, and is subsequently let off the hook ... doesn't really recover from the stain of bad PR.

A mugshot could ruin a CEO's career for example, in law there is exoneration, but in populism there often isn't. Or not like that. They'd have to hire a PR firm to do a public reparation of their image.

For those who are actually guilty of course it's less relevant.
> This is an exceptional edge case

It is, but it wouldn't be challenging to construct far less exceptional cases to consider.

* workers of dangerous jobs e.g. oil rigs and mining

* workers in seemingly-stable jobs that are suddenly outsourced e.g. GMC factory workers in Flint, MI

* workers in industries on the verge of collapse e.g. milkmen and telephone switchboard operators

* lost income after the birth of a disabled child forcing one parent to stay home full-time

> If you intentionally have kids, you should have had an emergency fund stockpiled long before conception.

By shifting 100% of the responsibility to the parents, you're ignoring the issue of far greater importance: the wellbeing of the children.

Telling parents that they should have planned better and saved more does nothing for their children, but those children WILL have an impact on the future society you inhabit.
>You can also load-balance on the client side. Clients connect to a management server, and the server tells them what percentage of connections to send to which upstream. I don't think anyone has written any publicly available software to manage this, but it can use the same underlying protocol as Envoy's configuration servers

I believe this is exactly the way that Hashicorp's Consul Connect service mesh is implemented for L7 routing.
This is a perennial argument that I personally find both pointless and stupid. I have no problem calling myself a programmer - I don't find the word demeaning or inaccurate. My dad was a "programmer" in the '90s, after all.

That said, I call myself an engineer because that's what everyone I know doing the same job calls themselves. That's the point of language - to communicate. Even the author of this article hasn't provided any evidence that this causes confusion amidst a long ramble about how computer programs sometimes don't work (this happens in every profession), Uber doesn't consider itself a taxi company (completely irrelevant), and that other kinds of engineers design different types of things (obvious and self-explanatory). Even the author points out that you don't "always" need a PE license to practice these other disciplines in the U.S.

What purpose would be served by making a point of using a different title, other than satisfying the people who write these kinds of condescending articles? It would be easier for such people to get over themselves and stop pretending they don't know what I mean when I say I am a software engineer.

I don't think "the safest mode of travel just became unsafe" is really what is going on. If 400 people die in a single incident, it doesn't matter so much what people's association of how safe what they are doing is. If that many die in a fire, or a ship sinking, or a flood, or whatever.... the reason we care is because it is a singular event.
"terrorism" is an inconsistent categorization of things that we should just stop using.
It's really unfortunate that modern productivity metrics try and maximize things like butt-in-chair hours and time spent actively typing. I work in a rather creative part of CS and those coffee runs and walks are pretty productively spent time for me.

One of my issues early on into the pandemic is that I was fearful of taking walks and my productivity actually dropped as my physical exercise decreased. When I realized this and started emphasizing active movement while working (dancing to techno) and taking walks to get in bursts of fresh air I found that things more than reversed.

I would note that I have to deal with ADD and physical activity has a long history of positive impacts on folks with such - so that advice might not go for everyone.
It's good that you brought this up in a tactful way. I share your concerns about animal suffering, and your hope for the future.

It sounds like you are willing to concede that the suffering in this particular case is potentially worthwhile, and I too am willing to make this concession. Millions of people have died, and we have to do what we have to do. I hope we can be smarter in the future.

I've worked at a small company constantly chasing large customers. Let's say a middling customer deal was $50k. Pretty much all profit. A large customer deal would be $500k, and need $500k of very specific technical-debt inducing bespoke dev work. I didn't know why they didn't grow the number of $50k deals!

Actually I know why. It was the "If we can get walmart it'll lead to much more" mentality (but not walmart but similarly big clients).

Also the $500k deals took a long time to land. When budgeting, whether the company made a profit or not would depend on a top salesman landing such a deal, or not.

What I notice is with larger deals and tenders the world was more cutthroat, the competition was more fierce etc, a lot of the "value" was from negotiating contracts and arguing over deadlines and shit, not actually delivering a product.
Some procedures are harder to violate without getting caught than others.

Not all cops will cooperate with the corrupt ones. And if some of them want you to disappear, they will need to hide it from the others; procedures are intended to make this harder.

Envelope encryption. Neat. Can WebAuthn keys be (made) a resident key? If so, is that preferred instead?

Conversely, what use case is there for resident keys in context of WebAuthn? For example, if there are multiple master keys, can I switch between them per browser / website (assuming the master key itself is a resident key and not burnt into the element)? Thanks.

> Where can I read about that classification for this polling data?

I see that you get your talking points from Mate. But the fact that he or you don't have access to classified info doesn't mean you get to decide that the data is not sensitive. Manafort lied about it and both he and Kilimnik tried to tamper witnesses, that's not something one does over top-level polling data.

That fact that Mueller didn't get enough hard evidence to secure a conviction doesn't mean that there is no evidence. Clinging to 'Russia hoax' doesn't do justice to the amount of circumstantial evidence there is. Lawfare [1] did a much more honest attempt at discussing the report then Mate/Greenwald will ever do.

Funny enough: marriage itself doesn't do that.

You get married because you reached a level in your relationship which makes marriage the logical next step.

I'm not sure what you mean with 'political incorrect'. What advice would you reference which is probably political incorrect?

And religion would be interesting indeed. Like arranged religious marriages. Peer pressure or just an easier but dependent life? Just follow your leaders they will tell you what is right?

The article does make a short note on that thought. For whatever ret in our society it was more important to have stable relationships the potentially the well being of people.

It's probably a quite young achievement of our time that marriage is no longer the answer but we as people and our well being is recognized and not just the reason to have successors.

You make a decent argument but... society doesn't judge that commute times or medical appointments should necessarily be reimbursed, so I think that there isn't really a "sane baseline" to compare against in non-covid times.

There's also the very real question of division of usage - most of us are likely working in spaces that intersect heavily with our private spaces (since we didn't move to our current residences with having a dedicated home office in mind) and that creates a pretty complex process to actually assign responsibility - it shouldn't be 100% in either direction, but it's hard to figure out how much of that time was legitimately caused by you working from home.

I wanted such thing too (it is only one of very many things I would want in a new web browser program). I would also want to be able to save it to a file with a documented format, so that it can be examined, edited, copied, etc. Such a feature is then capable of doing other things too, such as a "duplicate tab" command, etc, which you can get almost "for free" when such a thing is implemented. (I also want the separate ability to save only form data to a file; sometimes saving the entire state is not wanted.)
That latency is literally impossible unless they’re up in space somewhere, beyond satellite orbit. Your latency is most likely caused by CPU on low-end devices. A CDN won’t help you with that (and probably be harmful having to manage another TCP connection).

This law holds in Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, and Vermont. 3 out of the 4 are outermost states of the U.S., and the other is close to being so. Perhaps since there isn't much interstate traffic going through these states and their state populations are low, there was not so great of an incentive for advertisers to lobby against such laws banning highway ads.

> key makers like YubiKey did I.D. verification on purchase?

I think that would require that every key maker would have staff in every city in the world who were trained to inspect your identity documents, check for forgeries, and not be susceptible to bribes or coercion.

Or at the very least every city would have to contain at least one location where someone from some organisation (possibly the government) could carry out this process.

The "authority" concern would require that the verifying organisation could be blacklisted if they started giving out too many IDs to the wrong people, or refusing to give IDs to the right people. (Perhaps you've played the game "Papers, Please".)

It's the "privacy" concern that worries me more. What happens if someone tries to buy a second key? Presumably there is a limit to how many each person can buy, so if someone says they lost their previous key, the issuer needs a way of revoking it. But how do they do that without creating a valuable list somewhere of which key belongs to which real world ID?

To make matters worse, because people can move between cities and jurisdictions, this database of online IDs would need to be globally shared between all verifiers, otherwise you could just buy multiple IDs from multiple vendors. That means the database that ties your browsing history to your legal identity will be accessible to basically everyone in the world, because the access to that database will only be as secure as its weakest link.

If we're going down this route, we might as well put everyone's identity onto a blockchain and let people vouch for each other in order to establish trust/reputation. In fact, that sort of system has actually been implemented; it's called BrightID, and it "requires no personal information, letting you prove your humanness without risking your privacy".

Fun writeup, thanks. FYI to the author, on mobile there is a horizontal overflow due to one image being too wide (the dereference illustration). I really like the blog’s style otherwise.

There is one part I’m not clear about. Presumably the vector to exploit this is a malicious server, not a proxy. So if you control the server, why do you need to set two Content-Link headers to trick the parser into thinking it’s empty? Could you use a legit file and a fake content header with extra (empty) bytes? Or does that have too many side effects due to the client actually parsing the file rather than ignoring it?
In what way? As long as it's a small enough number of people needing to be disappeared, it can be done while still publishing arrests of everyone else! It's not as if the person under detention can check.

Ask HN: Why don't we make harmless viral vector vaccines highly contagious?
It seems like making a viral vector vaccine that is highly contagious, yet still harmless, would be a good way to distribute a vaccinate quickly and with little resistance among entire populations. It seems that we have the technology to do this. Are we working on it? Why haven't we done it yet?
Indeed: I have to think it was not a planned or desirable outcome to anybody.

If the intended situation is to be able to (for instance) set up a coup attempt on the target country, have it come off well enough to produce chaos, and THEN have your tame cybercriminals knock out key infrastructure, that would be an extremely effective act of war.

Freaking people out while not destroying the target country is a bad, bad misstep. They did indeed kick the hornets' nest, but so ineffectively that the best response would be to try and cover the whole thing up and pretend it was nothing. Might work for some, but I doubt the US government is amused.
