But, is it? Almost half of the funding for Healthcare innovation is governmental even in the US, and a competent public health system already has a strong incentive to reduce costs. So if a technology has the potential to reduce costs, a more efficient healthcare system would also pay for it - and if one doesn't there are dozens that can too - and if there is no path to it providing value overall in such a system, then it's going to be on the balance less efficient anyways.

To note, a big issue in public innovation is that rich western countries, led by the US, HATE governments competing against the private sector. So if a government comes up with an innovative solution, they are generally disallowed from selling it, which hurts everyone except private companies.

This happened in my city a few years ago, which had a very early innovation in bike sharing, much before any VC funded bike sharing company, and other cities had expressed interest in paying my city for implementing this service locally.

But because of laws banning public endeavors from engaging in commercial activities, this was struck down, hurting all the taxpayers in my city, citizens of my city that would have benefited from better service from the experience, and millions of citizens from interested cities which would have received better service and who would have saved money.

Or another case in my province was the invention by the electricity utility of the electric hub motor - which is now over 40 years later in widespread use due to its efficiency and low cost - but instead of exploiting that patent and selling those things, it had to partner with a private company which got exclusivity and mostly squandered it. Again, hurting almost everyone which might have benefited from lower cost electric transportation as well as the taxpayer here.

This is actually part of why China is eating everyone's lunch, they used their size and never really agreed to these rules, leaving themselves the opportunity to profitably invent at the state level, leading into more efficient state owned enterprises that can often profitably outcompete the private sector.
People seem to like Discord but to me it's the worst possible experience for informed hobbying. Usually I want to either know an answer to a specific question or be inspired by someone else's work. The chat format is a mishmash of unanswered questions and irrelevant info.
At a minimum, though, this would be harder to detect. All of the usual places to look are completely unpatched.
I assume the grandparent was talking about how, as soon as the last reference to a refcounted object goes away, the object is deallocated. Pure Swift follows this rule though Objective-C code may not always do this due to things like autorelease pools.
I'm a bit confused with Apple on Privacy... Is this a marketing gimmick...
with regard to ethics, two plausibly valid options:

either you believe that people should act ethically even if that means forgoing actions that they are legally allowed to make. if you believe that, isn't it wrong to build a free, open source competitor using all the knowledge you just got from working inside a company?

or:

you believe that business is the law of the jungle, and everyone is free to do whatever they can get away with legally. in which case why is it a problem for amasad to get lawyers involved?

it seems this dude's victimization relies on holding amasad to a higher standard of ethics than he holds himself. maybe he should because he has more money and power. or maybe not?
Edge, then FF
And the interesting thing about that is, you'd think it would be (relatively speaking) straightforward for Google to keep track of the first place a given image was indexed (or possibly the first few places, or everywhere it was seen over the first X period of time since you couldn't guarantee the very first would always be the original). Assuming that original was still online, it would seem to be the place to direct searchers to, regardless of pagerank or whatever.
I've worked with Scully. It's nice in that it let us share stylesheets with another Angular repo, but apart from that there were a lot of things that felt unpolished and difficult to work with.

I'm cheering for it and I don't want to come off as discouraging for a product that I didn't pay for, but it has a long way to go. A lot of my work with it (but not all) was pre-1.0 though, so maybe it's improved.
Hmn. I would agree about all crap being mixed in there, but in terms of overall results (both wrt. SEO crap and other irrelevant stuff), my experience has been that the quality troughed something like 2-3 years ago and then came back (my guess is that they're incorporating all of the AI they've been doing throughout the company into search). To me it feels like it's about 80% of its best right now.

I bet it's that we do different types of searches.
I ran into this for the first time yesterday when trying to find out new info about a footy player. Some article from 15 years ago talking about how he had a good first game, tagged as 5th june 2021. Like, wtf?
That is a very new domain specific overloading of what the term 'static website' means. Unlike the old usage which is from the point of view of the website user where static means they don't have to execute code, the new usages tend to be developer experience focused and of little general utility.
Everyone is giving cross platform Video Conferencing support... Why should Apple stay behind...
To help me out? I’m patiently trying to explain to you that your mental model of copyright and particularly how it interacts with software is fundamentally flawed. I’m handwaving a lot of complexity when I refer to patents (and why clean rooms are important when dealing with implementation) because I’m not discussing patent law with you. I’m specifically responding to you saying “I didn’t clone a prior employer because copyrights.” That’s just factually wrong. Pulling me into “aha, but what about patents?” in a deep thread is extremely tiring.

I know how patents work. I hold 15 and I’ve defended two at trial. I’m tapping out here, since you’re simply competing with me to be less wrong the deeper this goes, and I’ve rapidly run out of patience to have intellectual property law explained to me by someone who doesn’t understand the fundamental purpose nor qualifications of copyright, and thinks it and fair use doctrine has any bearing on “I built a clone of Facebook”.
Maybe he wants to stand up to Replit/Amjad, and he realizes that if he doesn't make a scene and garner public support then he has no chance. That wouldn't mean that he's just in it for the publicity.

How else do you protect yourself against an entity with much more power and money than you?
I actually bought a VR headset to try this out as well and I didn't last 20 minutes in the low resolution environment.

The games are cute for a for days, but I gave the headset to my nephews within 2 weeks.

The article is drastically understating the low resolution. It's entirely unacceptable for working in it.
AAs with 500 mAh capacity and 50 mA charging was a marvel at the time. My greatest invention was that I connected bicycle dynamo directly to a small windmill and upped the voltage with diode ladder. It gave only 50 mA, but alas, that was what those batteries were rated for. Wind blows 24/7 so it was remarkable if you compare with solar panels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYorx9C-OEE&t=26s
In my opinion this site is not really so different from, say, Reddit, beyond having more focused rules and being smaller. So I don't think my idea that social media have supplanted the Web ring is wide of the mark.
Actually, colon (:) is allowed as part of a Windows file name. This changed at some point (presumably NT). However, almost all Windows tools will be incapable of dealing with a file name that includes a colon, even though the file exists on disk.

We ran into this recently when a bug in Ardour ended up creating files on disk named like "recorder:N". They were created correctly on the disk, and in the Ardour instance that had created them and thus had file handles for them, they could be read without issues. But ... close the program and restart it ... errors about not being able to find the files.

Fortunately, Notepad (I think) is one of the few applications that can handle these names (I have no idea why), and so it could be used to open and save the files under a "better" name.

ps. after 35 years in computing, I have not used Windows for more than 30 minutes in total. This account is based on being a developer of a cross-platform application who reads bug reports and interacts with users.
>Most sites which have these "list of 10 XYZ" are just similar money making scams yet they rank so highly on Google.

I was just talking to my SO about this the other day when we were trying to find an air purifier for allergies. I'm the kind of person that likes to compare products a ton before dropping more than about ~$100 on anything. The way the internet has become in the last 10-15 years has made this increasingly more difficult. You really have to dig to find in-depth unbiased content on anything someone stands to make money from. For every 1 good review there are 100 'top 10 best ranked' blogspam sites..
> I think you may be approaching the discussion more from the standpoint of where to assign blame specifically regarding COVID-19

No, I'm approaching it from the standpoint of how to not have a pandemic like this happen again.

> I'm more interested in the benefits from infectious clone technology and infection experiments in general

What are the benefits? What benefits have we gained specifically from this research, that we wouldn't have gained without it?

> why you say human testing is a requirement, when almost all work is done in cell & animal models

Because we can't reliably predict what a virus will do to humans unless humans have been infected with it. Cell and animal models are nice, but they aren't the same as actual human patients.

> Usually human tests are restricted to treatments

Exactly. And that's for good reasons. And my point is that testing treatments isn't the same as testing the viruses themselves. The Wuhan lab wasn't testing treatments, they were testing viruses. So how treatments are tested, and how confident we feel that they are safe based on cell and animal testing, is irrelevant to work with viruses themselves.

> and only those that have already gone through cell and animal testing to ensure as much safety as possible.

And even then we find effects in humans that we didn't expect. And that's for treatments, where we have more control over the variables than we do with viruses themselves.

> The ones that are notable enough to make it into reports kind of do.

"Kind of" isn't the same thing. I'm not talking about how infective they got in the first year. I'm talking about the way SARS-CoV-2 was in the very first human patients we have records of, back in late 2019. The strains isolated from that time were already highly infective. Initial strains of previous viruses were not; they increased in infectivity as they spread in humans and evolved to adapt. That's what we expect to happen for a virus that naturally jumps to humans from some other source. But when we see a virus that is already highly infective in the first human cases we know of, that's an indication that it did not naturally jump to humans, but was specifically engineered in a lab to be more infective to humans.

> There were also several leaks of the 2002 SARS virus that could easily have gone the same way COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) did.

How do we know they could have?
There has been serious talk on the Swift Evolution forums about distributed actors, so this may be something that Apple adds in the next couple of years. They haven’t given a timeframe that I know of. Or a promise that it will definitely happen.

Crime bust from encrypted chat app run by law enforcement
It didn't really take off until flash and the colored assortment anyways tho
Yea, we may never know. If Replit just went ahead and filed a lawsuit and presented their case in front of an actual court, that would shed light on the legitimacy of their claims. Some posters has offered to help pay for his defense. Optics would still be pretty bad since no intern should go through that. But a little better since there would be a lot less doubt.

Unfortunately, they must now face the court of public opinion, which has not had the best track record lately.
> Censorship of those who seek to oppress is necessary to require freedom

Besides the obvious, who defines what is oppressive? If we are censoring people then there should be due process at a minimum, so who writes those procedures and laws? How do we ensure they don’t become politicized?
No? IMHO they should attempt to correct their mistake.
In general i had more relevent results on my first search qurry compared to now admitedly thats hard to prove as i can't rerun the search side by side for a comparison now.

I've read that the replacement heads also often get damaged while reading the media during the recovery process.
apparently the idea came together after having 'a couple of beers'. Very Australian.

...the idea for the AN0M app was developed 'over a couple of beers' between Australia and US law enforcement officers in 2018.

"I wasn't there, but as you know, some of the best ideas come over a couple of beers," Commissioner Kershaw said.
also interested in async vs combine, but i’m the other way around - unless you want to fight for rx programming i see Combine being in a very weird place. it looks like existing Foundation stuff will be easy to change to async, and for teammates without rx experience Combine can be a big mental model shift. plus Combine doesn’t compile on Linux, which is a big deterrent for me when thinking about how I might want to approach a Swift command line app.
That's an interesting idea. A couple of thoughts spring to mind.

First is that the heaviest of the "natural" fusion byproducts is iron. Iron is magnetic. How significant is that? Does that make it more likely iron will form into clumps? Given the seeming importance of iron to an industrialized society, at least based on our own experience, this bears more investigation.

The second is that you know other substance has a whole bunch of magnetic properties, particularly at low temperatures and/or high pressures? Oxygen.
it should also be noted that the rise in online propaganda and memes perfectly exploit the availability bias by way of bots sharing, liking and reposting various anti democratic propaganda, which solidifies various echo chamber.
The P in HIPAA stands for portability. It should be a HIPAA violation for them to not give me the original data sets for my healthcare when I request them in person.
Someone posted years ago here about feeding crows in a local park that they rode by daily on their bike, and how for months after they stopped feeding them they were occasionally met by a phalanx of crows who flew alongside them for a while as they rode.

That has been on my bucket list ever since. Not a whole phalanx, but I would like to have a crow friend like Patera Silk did. They migrate through my area in midwinter, so I will have to get some unsalted nuts this year (and the next, and the one after that…)
I've heard on the grapevine that binning decisions like that are made with fuses and lasers. ECC might even be another mask.
The subtitle of the book is "Visual Research for artists, architects, and designers" not "free pictures to include in your projects" so I don't think you would have bought the book thinking it was okay to use it in a video game.
> Actually, colon (:) is allowed as part of a Windows file name. This changed at some point (presumably NT). However, almost all Windows tools will be incapable of dealing with a file name that includes a colon, even though the file exists on disk.

I think you are getting confused by stream names. If you try to create a file called "foo1.txt:bar", some Windows tools let you. But that is not an example of a file name containing a colon. The filename is "foo1.txt". In Windows NT (and its successors), a file can be composed of multiple named streams, and ":" separates the file name from the stream name. So "foo1.txt:bar" is actually the the stream named "bar" of the file named "foo1.txt", not a file named "foo1.txt:bar"
Do you have pcaps to demonstrate Apple leaking your identifiers in clear text? That’s very surprising to me.
Given that he's now un-retweeted it, it looks like even amasad agreed it wasn't a good look.
It's not the visitors they are going to bring up in the court. The angle they push will probably be something along the lines of: the intern stole our intellectual property and put them out there on GitHub. There is no way we can put the cat back in the bag. As a result of this disclosure, we are suffering a financial loss of 100s of millions of dollars. Even if his website has 0 visitors, now thousands of people have access to our intellectual property and they collectively have a lot of visitors.

I mean, it's not like Anthony Levandowski put millions of self-driving cars in the streets and took business away from Waymo's self-driving cars. Just by copying Google's intellectual property, not even publishing it for the whole world to see, he committed an offence that cost 18 months in prison and more than 100 million dollars in fines.

Of course, this lawsuit may not have gotten that far, as it seems quite baseless. But it would have taken years of mental turmoil and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees for that to be established. And that is if the threat of the unfavourable outcome did not cause another tragedy like Aaron Swartz's.

If the FBI has broke any of Secp256k1, SHA256, or RIPE160, (they have not) they’re not going to blow that on a $3M haul.
love Swift, largely agree with most comments here and feel like async fills a big hole.

> when Apple says “jump” you jump.

just not with the betas
Please use esbuild if you can. The difference is night 'n day.
But the hardware with M1 in it wasn't announced until the Fall event. So the comment about "new MBP" wouldn't apply. The only reason M1 was announced at WWDC is because it requires work from developers. New MBP doesn't require 6 month lead announcement for developers.
But then why did OP say apple pioneered making phones obsolete with software.

They literally seem to do the best here.

Physical computers, android phones, etc etc - all seem to be zombified pretty quickly. Apple keeps on going. The number of things I've had that ended up not supported (I got gimmicked by Microsofts "plays for sure" stuff that ended up not playing for sure etc) is crazy.

That has not happened with my iphone. I was a iPhone 1 full cash buyer. The music I bought there still plays today among other things. Google has discontinued stuff on me. Android (or carrier or handset maker) screwed me. etc.
Energy density on mass is not entirely meaningless. A heavier car requires larger tires. That makes the tires a more expensive continuing cost, and creates more particulate pollution. A heavier car also requires larger brakes and pads (though electric cars can offset this with regen). A heavier car also puts more wear onto the roads. A heavier car also makes the car slower at a given horsepower, and have worse handling characteristics.

So metrics like energy per kg, energy per volume, and energy per $ can all be relevant.

The error message says that the file is too large for the destination file system (despite being under 10KB). It's unambiguously a bug.
From the article:

> As a matter of fact, several vulnerabilities in Intel ME have been discovered in the past. Among others, Ermolov, Sklyarov, and Goryachy described a method to extract the secret key that is used inside the CPU to decrypt microcode updates, which also led to the possibility of executing your own microcode on the CPU or reading Intel's microcode.

So you don't have to break RSA. You just have to use the private key to derive the public key, which I believe is do-able.
you are on a hacker news site.

it generates probably 100 made up words a day.

your critique is meaningless.

I'm a programmer and was diagnosed glaucoma 3 years ago and I'm 30 now.
My doctor prescribed me 2 medicines, tafluprost and carteolol, which cost 130 CNY per month. I see the doctor and do an air puff test once a month. This costs 80 CNY. Doing an OCT once a year requires 500 CNY, and a total of 3000 CNY (approximately 470 USD) per year. Recently, my doctor suggested that I have an operation. It may prevent me from using eye drops in the future. I am considering it.
They make that extra X% on the loan. For a 30k car at 3% that's nearly 1k. Also, the loan could be worth more due to potential late fees, etc
The big jump has been in storage. HDD to SSD is 4-10x and from SSD to NVMe is 4-10x again.
>Am I working too hard?

Maybe? If you are budgeting time to do reading, exercise, and spending time with people you want to invest in, it doesn't sound like it.

I'm far enough along in my career that a lot of my work is fairly interesting(at the very least some OSS work that is related to my job is), to the point where I'd prefer doing it to playing most video games. It's intellectually stimulating. Nothing wrong with that.

Balance is important to avoiding burnout, so if you're worried about burnout, I'd just tip the scales for a month or two to budget a bit more time either exercising or reading (or a new hobby?) and after a couple months, re-evaluate.
And I just bought a license for AirServer last week
I mean we know the hack wasn’t sophisticated at all. It seems to me the hackers are opportunists, scanning for vulnerabilities and weak VPNs. People are confusing grunt work with sophistication. They would’ve used ransomware against any target that they breached that they thought could pay. Too young or too stupid to think through the consequences.

Thread below indicates what happened is they were incredibly naive and eventually used a US exchange wallet. Just script kiddies really.

Doesn't the same apply to chat software / iMessage? Also, FaceTime isn't really conferencing software (though they added a bunch of conferencing feature just now). It's closer to Duo, which focuses on casual face to face meetings, not at desk, presenting slides kind of video meeting.
It is not an ad supported model - it is a subscription model. I just signed up for it.

Would need to see exactly what new hardware has been announced at WWDC.

For example, it would make sense to announce new CPU architectures like Intel and M1 since the transition heavily affects developers.

But incremental improvements to existing hardware, not so much.
