> We had Walkmans and crappy clones that drained the shitty rechargeable cells we had at the time in a few hours. OK those things drove mechanical beasties - cassettes but cells/batteries were not particularly good before Li-Ion turned up.

NiMH came out around the same time and it's fine. A good one has similar energy to a good alkaline. Not very far behind a small-cell lithium ion either.
Honest question: what would a backdoored mixer look like? If it had a list of trapdoor addresses (or checked addresses in real-time) and made last-minute transaction changes, say. Would any criminal risk complaining if it identified them? Does the tumbler’s reputation have a mechanism for angry criminal user stories?

The tumblers seem like a centralized chokepoint for criminals trying to launder.

Show HN: Flutter and My First App
I released my first iOS/Android app about 3 months ago after about 7 months of Flutter development. Flutter was fairly easy to get up to speed once once I was familiar with all of the most common widgets. The "Everything is a Widget" mantra certainly holds true. The app is called Tellüs. Seems to me that Flutter is going to become the main-stream mobile development tool - do people agree?

There's a lot of fatalities when people jump in above a dam to rescue their dog, only to get swept over and drown.

In some cases the bodies circulate below the dam if decomposition gases produce enough buoyancy. Or the body surfaces miles downriver.

In all but one case I know of, the dog gets out on its own.

Sadly it's taken decades and usually repeated fatalities to prod authorities into action.

Dynamite does the job.

Where the dam is still needed you can raise the downstream riverbed with rocks 4+ feet in diameter and end up with a runnable low hazard rapid.

> You have not met that burden. Not even close.

What? I absolutely have. I’m not sure what you’re on about. Switzerland is as close as it gets to a profit-driven purely private healthcare system. Indeed, the US was modeled off of it. The only difference between the two is that the former is based on a robust individual market while the latter is driven by group benefits.

> But doing that sans a robust system that actually just delivers health care to sick people is just bad policy

I don’t think anybody is suggesting not delivering health care to sick people. The question is whether the private sector can provide an actuarial product.

> In Singapore, there are no real surprises

Agree, Singapore’s healthcare system is excellent, and price transparency is very important. The reason the US system is devoid of price transparency is because the majority of Americans simply don’t care about prices, since they have little skin in the game. This is true for old people on Original Medicare, poor people on Medicaid, as well as employed people on generous group plans. If none of those describe you, then you’re unfortunately SOL. THAT’S the problem. Not the profit motive.

> If making money is the priority, then making sick people healthy isn’t

Again, it’s a cute pithy quote, but that’s not how the real world works. If making money is a priority, then feeding hungry people isn’t. If making money is a priority, then providing cheap clothing and shelter isn’t. It’s impossible to understand how the world works through such a simplistic lens.

As I showed you above, the Medicare A/B test is illuminating. Medicare Advantage payers are primarily in the business of making money, and yet their members are on average healthier, have higher quality plans, and at lower cost.

Fascinating! What flaws that existed in the architecture of Replit that existed in 2019 and persist to this day are still considered to be trade secrets worth pursuing legal remedies to keep secret?

I understand that you may not be able to describe the invisible long-term proprietary flaws for a number of possible reasons, but can you ballpark the number of these critical flaws that are the unique IP of replit? Or at least the relevant number of times when the code in this recent open source software overlapped with years-old mistakes in the Replit code base that are so crucial that they must be protected?

It's interesting to note that the Bass-O-Matic design apparently came from a Navy contractor (Charlie Merritt). It seems possible that Merritt and the Navy both thought this design was secure; maybe they didn't have clearances to learn others' opinions about it, and only used it for unclassified communications.

El Salvador has set the stage for the separation of money and state
I'm surprised that others don't find mentioning your former company's name in a commit message, for similar software, an admission that you were inspired or thinking of that company's design.

When software is both your hobby and your profession, you have to think carefully about what you mix and how. The developer also goes onto state that what he did is nothing new and he decides what repl.it's IP is on their behalf. Is this hinting that he wrote his new project in a similar way, but he believes it to be nothing special?

Obviously the CEO's response was deplorable, but also probably a lesson to a new developer about mixing work and hobby.
bc1 isn't an uncommon prefix, its a bech32 native segwit address that's been in use for years now (IIRC 1 and 3 are the other prefixes, 1 being the first and most popular and 3 being a backwards compatible segwit address, i.e. non native).

Nope https://twitter.com/SecurityGuyPhil/status/14020799720601313...
I think the answer is simple.

Below a certain point in the salary curve -- merit-respecting folks -- are not willing to put up with bullshit managers, bullshit working conditions, bullshit co-workers.

Because their health, and lowering stress level -- become higher priority and value, than the money they are making.

I would expect this effect being even more pronounced when social safety nets improve.

- - -

Here is more details of what is happening:

If the playing field is not fair, and if judiciary system is tilted -- then there is no capitalism, it is Oligarchy.

Oligarchy is not about 'providing value to consumer at lowest possible prices' or 'treating workforce the best' and it is not about 'fairness and merit-based rewards'.

Instead, in Oligarchy you can expect 'perception driven' economy.

Where well-paid workers, at any level, earn more for perception that they create, compared to the work they do.

So in current system in US, being Oligrarchy -- you can expect the loudest mouths, the most obnactios, the most manipulative, the best backstubbers -- get paid more.

If the salary is high enough, and social safety nets are working enough -- people choose not to deal to deal with the above evil.

If the salary is low, at a certain point in the curve of salaries, -- then people want to avoid the stress, and the health impact dealing with the above described 'assholes'.

This is why low wage workers with the citizenship/greencard are harder to find.
> What not to do

What you said. Most of what you said is common anti patterns. The reason is web technologies are built around a few set of standards that are designed for extension, such as the DOM and WCAG. Fearing those standards for a small set of static principles is common but that doesn’t make it smart. That’s why this technology space is so hostile to originality. You mentioned NIH but the more common problem is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_here

Stop being so afraid and hostile. Embrace how these technologies work and more easily achieve accessibility with less effort. If you are waiting for some tool, NPM package, or framework to do it for you it’s not going to happen.

The statment is only obvious to you. When you were asked why you think it is obvious, you just sort of wave your hands without any specifics and say "it's obvious" without providing any basis for what laws this person is "obviously" at risk of running afoul of. This doesn't add anything to the discussion.

You don't have to quote specific lines regulations, but you do need to do something to back your assertions besides just repeating "it's obvious" over and over.

Yes, nobody in the west using a compromised russian box for c&c would ever put such code in their ransomware payload. That would obfuscate its origin, and we all know criminals aren't clever enough for that sort of thing.

There can only be one explanation: russian hackers operating with Putin's tacit approval. Us in the west should add this to the mounting pile of "evidence" supporting going into another cold war, because that will surely improve the entire situation. Attributing the unattributable to our preconceived enemies to escalate a conflict always ends well.

Snark aside, on a technical, factual level, this simply isn't evidence of origin, not even a little bit. "russian hackers" is such a tired punchline now that if I, being in the west, were to suddenly jump the fence after 3 decades and choose A Life Of Crime, using russian configuration file names, UTC+3 daytime operating hours, russian-hosted c&c IPs (or, better yet, russia-controlled but plausibly deniable ones like belarus or kazakhstan), and silly stuff like skipping infection of ru-locale machines would be obvious things I would be doing to fuel this existing narrative sailwind. It's utterly silly to think that this in any way suggests origin.
> The latter is just trying to justify and excuse the bad behavior and save face

Ok, but in the example that was given, it does justify it, a little bit.

It doesn't justify it completely, but I would absolutely have more empathy for someone who stabbed someone out of some amount of self defense, than I would for someone who stabbed someone for no reason.

Do you really believe, that in the stabbing example, someone who stabs someone, for literally no reason at all, is exactly the same as someone who did it, in response to being assaulted first?
Regarding this part of your comment:

Yes, it does. The commercial effect of the usage is a factor in determining fair use, and that might distinguish a “show and tell” project from a “production-ready” OSS project.

I'm a huge fan of Phil and his work, and plan to send him a note of thanks, but I think your second sentiment is out-of-date now. Even if we avoid other controversies like Thomas Ptacek's views about the inappropriateness of the e-mail encryption threat model, PGP doesn't support forward secrecy and so it's at least not suitable for instant messaging or TLS (as well as not being integrated into their protocols!).

A serious security product could support encryption that's more relevant to whatever it is that that product does.
Sure. This is a "hadeeth". Muslims consider the Quran and Hadeeth (aka "Sunnah") as revelation from God. The hadeeth translation is here: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2955

This means that if a ruler commands you to kill someone or drink alcohol, you should not obey. But otherwise, you must obey. This hadeeth is used frequently by governments (via clergy proxies) to (rightfully) inform the public it is a religious duty to obey. The intent of this obedience is to prevents disharmony/chaos.

That, and trying to standardize a data format for something as complex as a medical record
You still need to compromise ME, at which point there are a million easier ways to accomplish your goals than a microcode patch. For example, SMM is much easier to compromise and arguably more powerful (you can hide large amounts of code in SMM, not so in microcode); SMM backdoors that interact with userspace code have already been demonstrated. Or you could do something in ME directly, which again has plenty more space to hide stuff in than microcode.

The point is this isn't a bug, it's a feature; if you've gotten the CPU into red unlock anyway, you are already thoroughly screwed. This is like saying if you install a development version of an OS and enable remote debugging, you can take over the machine remotely. Well.... yes.

This is interesting because it's undocumented, not because it has security implications.

Non-competes are morally wrong
The thread inaccurately describes the limitation of these special names being on the "OS level" -- it's actually one layer down, in the DOS and Win32 subsystems. Windows NT doesn't throw fits about these file names if the subsystem you run under (see: POSIX, LXSS, OS/2) doesn't care about them. Cygwin can even override the Win32 behavior by just passing all its file handlers through the native NT API instead of the Win32 API.

Since this is now the top spot here on H/N I suspect it just got the attention of some Googlers who I’m sure will review it.

They may not give the site a manual action, though. They’d rather tweak the algorithm so it naturally doesn’t rank. Google’s algo should be able to see stuff like this.

I know that I’ve seen sites tank in the rankings because they got too many links too quickly. It could be that the link part of the algorithm hasn’t fully analyzed the links yet.

I’d be interested in seeing what the Majestic link graph says about this site, ahrefs doesn’t have tier 2 and tier 3 link data.

>small union which julia handles efficiently at runtime

Oh! I didn't realize Julia already optimized small unions.

https://julialang.org/blog/2018/08/union-splitting/
https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/isbitsunionarrays/

I wasn't quite sure whether something like this was possible given the semantics of Julia.

Personally, I'd still prefer something more explicit, so it would be more obvious when a union is being handled efficiently. But given that small unions are optimized, I can see why Julia would make the opposite decision.

This makes me feel a lot better about writing Julia code with union types. Thanks
