Author here. I would say that even though you're grabbing the markup from an API, trying to get structured data from presentation logic still seems closer to RPA than not.

And Wikipedia might be an unique example - the markup structure is fairly stable vs. commercial SaaS.

If a competitor offered API access with the data you wanted, you would always choose the API over screen scraping. If a screen scraping business becomes big enough, they usually either partner with the existing sites (i.e. Plaid) or a competitor does.

Good point. But that's a lot of giftcards to transfer $5 million, let alone the $100MM claimed-size of the ransomware market from the article.

Once violence on main street can be bought with crypto a ban will soon follow.
Saying that coins have valued tied to their utility is like saying the same thing about Pokemon cards.

It's a speculative asset. Its value is related to its usefulness only in the minds of its users.

A currency fails if it's deflationary, expensive to transact with, extremely volatile, and unusable for most purchases.

There is currently no use-case for crypto for anyone with a functioning government, and non-functioning governments have mostly banned it.
Oracle DB and SQL Server are both licensed per cpu core. At least last time I priced them out.
As the article points out, it's the only way to reliably transfer the 7 figure sums that make large-scale ransomware attacks workable.
There is a difference between being self-critical once employed (where I agree it's a useful practice) and being self-critical during an interview (which is often viewed as the process of selling yourself in order to get a job).
You will generally know the rough content of the text and allocate a size that looks good enough.

The purpose of the report is not to conclude whether any of this unexplained behaviour is due to alien craft. The purpose is to get the information out, stop pretending it doesn't exist, and provide a platform to move forward without the lies and the coverups. At least, that's what I gathered. Whether they actually manage to do that remains to be seen. It's already been a shocking past few years in terms of what has been admitted to and reported.

We already have the navy on record validating the authenticity of some of the footage, combined with multi-sensor data and eye witness reports indicating something very strange is going on. We also have several government officials who are on record that they are genuinely concerned. What we need now is transparency so that a multiple discipline, open investigation can be carried out publicly without stonewalling and obfuscation.
Neither do I!

(and, BTW, I agree with the general meaning of your quote from AB)
I have no idea what to make of this, but since your account has been using HN primarily for ideological battle and you've ignored our requests to stop, I've banned it. We ban accounts that do that regardless of whatever is they're battling for, because it destroys the intended purpose of this site.

> A 40% top federal bracket and a 10% top state bracket don't result in 50% of your actual income going to taxes.

Our household is in the top 5% (not even top 1%) nationally, living in a medium-tax state, and we managed to max out the SALT deduction. Practically speaking, this means that for the portion of income taxed by state and local authorities resulting in taxes in excess of 10k, we are also (doubly) taxed by the federal government. It truly is (partially) additive.
I have a median income in the USA and will likely never be able to afford a major health crisis. I would gladly give up all of my salary to end government involvement in the healthcare system.

> Sadly, the political landscape is dominated by people who would gladly let others suffer to save a dime.

This sort of rhetorical statement is either misinformed or disingenuous. The vast majority of people who wish to see government withdraw from the healthcare system are in fact motivated by the idea that this will limit suffering. In fact, if taken literally your statement could be turned against you:

> I still rarely have to think about money because it is so high

If you retain any money for discretionary spending or anything beyond your mere survival, you are "saving a dime" and not putting it toward alleviating the suffering of others. This is not necessarily a bad thing. This is the choice we all make every day. We value different things at different times for different reasons. Government taxing and spending our money takes away this freedom to choose what we value.

What auth packages were you trying? Documentation in the Elixir ecosystem is often excellent. The recommended auth library with Phoenix is now phx_gen_auth if it helps.

As for Stripe, this looks pretty mature to me https://github.com/code-corps/stripity_stripe

Definitely not a lot of "official" libs/clients in Elixir, companies aren't gonna spend a lot of resources maintaining that.
Low value won't change its criminal utility. A criminal looking for a $50k ransomware payment doesn't care if the market cap is $50M or $50B.

Outlawing it will make a difference though since it'll make it less likely that victims will pay, meaning the endeavor has a lower success rate.

The Internet, after all, makes the dark web--and its myriad crimes, including ransomware, drug trafficking, and illegal porn--possible: without the former, the latter cannot thrive.

^ What you sound like to me.

Like, I honestly just don't understand your point: these currencies (minus Bitcoin, due to proof of work being a bit ridiculous) seem like a very useful tool that you couldn't really ban anyway without taking ridiculously draconian measures (a la China and the open Internet, which is only barely working for them anyway) as--and this is kind of the whole point--there isn't any central actor running or maintaining it.
Juries are supposed to protect against some of that, fortunately.
I did notice it the past that HN articles critical of China behaved in a strange way. In the past all the comments in the comment section were downvoted, sometimes you could see dozens of comments greyed out, every single one of them. (Probably because it's not possible to downvote an article). Now the articles are flagged, probably whoever was organising this realised that flagging an article is effectively downvoting it.
Ransomware existed before cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency was popular to the degree that it was widely abused before ransomware became a serious issue. They're related but probably not to the degree you think.
Not sure why the above got downvoted, it seems to echo the other sentiments.

As a developer I have a hard time imagining building an application that doesn't use data to provide a higher level of experience in some way. Of course there is a very long rabbit hole on how data collected to create a novel experience then gets used in other ways to provide revenue.

We just live in a world where applications are able to hide almost everything that is happening behind the scenes from the user, and advertising drives the majority of free applications, and this opens a gateway to major abuse...
I really like this reasoning. It's fun to think of a whole civilization evolving in an alternate way to us having a total different set of problems to solve.

It took me a good week of really focussing on reading and comprehension to get my brain rewired to going slowly. I was very much in the same boat of constantly skimming through paragraphs of sci-fi books without actually taking in what I was reading.
Many public universities allow public access to all resources when you are physically at the library. Their licenses are broad enough (and expensive enough) to allow access to anyone from campus. Also, if you're on campus, it can be difficult to determine who is a student / staff, etc...
And the cryptocurrency problem is a central banking problem. Therefore, we should eliminate central banks.

If I'm living paycheck-to-paycheck in a generally poor area, I likely don't have the money to invest in roads near me, which means the roads near me are not maintained and deteriorate in quality, which means I have fewer opportunities to earn money, and so the cycle continues. I understand there's an incentive to invest in infrastructure, but if you're in a very poor area, you don't have that money to invest in the first place. If I have the money to invest in roads near me, surely I'm even more incentivised to use that money to move elsewhere, where people are already paying for the roads?

The costs of building roads overall may work out lower than taxation, but if you're in an area where on average people are in the minimum tax bracket, it will likely work out higher for you. This comes at the expense of those who earn more ofc, and I guess that's where we differ in perspective.

My personal perspective would entail that someone born into an impoverished area should have the opportunities to succeed, and (ideally) taxation can at least ensure they have the infrastructure around them to do so. It's difficult for me to consider a society as one that ensures everyone's liberty, if some people are massively disempowered by society by luck of birth.

Most water you’d drop a phone into has enough traces of salt to make it conductive. Therefore, the water acts like a faraday cage.

Theres a calculation you can do to calculate this, its pretty standard E&M stuff. Basically you calculate the skin depth of the material and thats as far as the signal can penetrate. The derivation highlights some cool things:

1. Its frequency dependent. This is why military submarines communicate at around 30 Hz.

2. Your audio cable (and all high frequency power cables) are stranded

3. Your microwave is effectively shielded with a thin layer of metal

4. An induction stove wont work with Al pans, but will quickly melt Al foil

Would you please demonstrate to me how I, Joe Q. Public, can find out, via collected data that I can access, with whom another person is sleeping with?

Or, in lieu of that, walk me through how that would be done with Facebook's, Google's, or Apple's data via your first-hand knowledge of those data and where and how they are stored and accessed?

These fear mongering comments about data collection have never demonstrated real world harms, AFAIK. It reminds me of the genetically engineered foods bogeyman that, in spite of a complete lack of empirical evidence, continues to be trotted out as a huge danger.
don't track/collect data

Only two of your examples (parental controls and location sharing) require any kind of network, and those could be done with a private VPN running at home.

The design of cloud-based services is purely for convenience and collection. Sometimes if the collection can be controlled, the convenience is worth it, but every beneficial algorithm could be run locally.
I agree with the concerns, however as someone who has been kept up a bit with the phenomenon, the main body of stuff to look at are the set of reports which involve:

- Multiple expert witnesses, usually pilots or radar operators, getting visual and sensor confirmation from multiple vantage points

- Air and ground tracking

- High cohesion and consistency (in terms of object size, cardinality, dynamics, and timing) between the witness reports

Taken together, these reports form a closure over the set of plausible explanations that should approximately explain all or none of them. My 2c is that any plausible explanations are by and large "big" and non-trivial ones like shared delusions.
car accidents account for 38K deaths a year in the US alone. If we ban cars, we'd be saving 38K lives every year. Why do people continue driving knowing this statistic?

The conversations around ransomware and climate are both slippery slopes. We should be focused on better security to prevent attacks as well as facilitating more renewable energy instead of stifling innovation.
The obvious difference to me is that the Internet has a lot of benefits outweighing the negatives beyond just enabling people to do speculation.

We successfully attacked critical infrastructure before it was connected to the Internet, so perhaps the problem is simply telecommunications. I think it's cryptocurrency, though.
While this is true, the overwhelming majority of these incidents do not use or require zero-days. The attack vector is nearly always basic phishing/social engineering, or wildly misconfigured/unpatched systems exposed to the internet. Implementing a bare-bones security program, or giving an existing security program the tools & authority to enforce policies, would cut down on ransomware incidents by a factor of 5-10, easily, without touching cryptocurrency in the slightest.
This is the way to go in the future. It will be more and more impractical, very costly, and inconvenient to hide information as technology get better.

The problem that need to be solves is not how to hide information but how to fix the issue that arise when the information are public.

Lets talk about one example :

Right now it is a problem if my credit card number become public because it can be used for unauthorized purchase.

Simply having my credit card number become public is not an issue perse but for it to be used for unauthorized purchase is the problem.

But what if I can have my credit card number public while nobody can use it for unauthorized purchase ? then I won't have issue for it being public.
Pretty sure that's been an explicit motivation for past wars carried on by the US - an external enemy builds cohesion, prevents conflict at home. Not agreeing or disagreeing, just noting that it's not an outlandish theory.
The data collectors only provide anonymized data. But it's possibly for a company that collects PII to stitch together their own user profile data with the anonymous data. So, yeah, maybe. Like if you login to your car insurance website and that website is using third-party tracking to piece together a profile, they can correlate to your identity. I don't think I've actually seen this done and I'm not sure if it's entirely legal.

Bitcoin did not create the concept of ransom. It didn't even create the concept of ransom as a business model for organized crime.

There are even insurance policies that you can get for it: https://www.mexipass.com/mexico-commercial-insurance/special...

This is also common in the shipping industry: https://www.reuters.com/article/somalia-piracy/somali-pirate...

And that type of ransoming has had hollywood movies made about it.
