Apps are built in a client-server configuration where the app is the user facing client and the API is the server. If you listen and manipulate the data sent back and forth to the server you can often do a lot more then what the user interface allows. Whether that’s gathering and analyzing more data or completing actions the server developers never anticipated the client would attempt.

Simply put backend developers assume the client will only do what they configure it to do and won’t be tampered with, except with enough effort it can trivially be tampered with.
I have a really hard time believing theres higher quality talent in Europe in general.
> some of your premises are flatout wrong. Especially when it comes to money: it is not the majority, but a substantial portion of undergrads in these institutions are from lower middle class or lower (economically) backgrounds.

I don't find the existence of students from middle class or lower backgrounds to be contrary to any of my premises. My point is more around the network effects. The children of the elite do attend these schools. The children of the elite are by definition already elite. Exposure to these social circles, even through something like the alumni network is a massive value proposition and massively increases ones chances of becoming an elite. If the children of the elite were to go elsewhere, the social network and value goes along with them.

This is not to say Ivy Leagues don't have other merits as undergraduate institutions, such as great staff and academics.

> The higher steps of the economic ladder are overrepresented simply because having money implies better K12 education in the US, which makes it easier to get into these schools.

It's not just K12 education, it's extracurriculars, it's SAT prep, it's high schools paying recruiters to visit campus, etc. It's a virtuous cycle. But again there are also network effects to consider. Rich and powerful families want to send their children schools with children from their socioeconomic class, so they cluster.

> And while the extracurriculars available are quite great, it is not a "daycare" and the rigors of education are very high.

My point on undergrad being akin to "daycare" is not unique to Ivy Leagues. In my experience in the US, there is a certain type of student that doesn't work a job, lives in a supervised environment (dorm), doesn't pay their own bills, doesn't cook for themselves, studies occasionally and who's main focus is fraternizing with their peers. This lifestyle is what I am comparing to daycare, and I don't believe this is uncommon esp. in places that cater to those of higher socioeconomic class.
I don’t think school really figures into people’s thought process in Canada. UofT and UBC are massive, and as long as you check the boxes you get in. People in the Saskatchewan may prefer URegina because it’s closer to home, someone from Newfoundland may go to Memorial.

Faculty positions are so competitive that I don’t think there’s a huge difference in the quality of the younger professors, just the bigger schools will have more profs and bigger research groups.

> Swimming near whales isn’t unsafe at all

Ha! "I was completely inside" What else needs to happen for you to think there might be an element of being unsafe? The man was swallowed by a whale, I don't care if whales are aggressive or not, if anything can swallow me whole I consider that a bit unsafe.

> This was more akin to getting stepped on by a giraffe that didn’t see you there.

So you also consider hanging out near giraffes to be completely safe knowing they might accidentally step on you?

That's a very interesting definition of safety.

I think what you want to say is that animals like whales are friendly and we shouldn't harm them. Point taken.

One reason you might not want someone outsourcing their work is because they (presumably) won't be able to explain or improve it. Consider testing that? For example, get them on a video call to answer questions about a code review, or do collaborative design work related to their project. You can apply similar practices to what an interviewer would, asking progressively more detailed questions to find out if they really did the work, although you obviously want to present yourself as an interested coworker rather than an interviewer.

At some point, getting your manager and/or their manager involved will be inevitable, and this is exactly the sort of problem that managers and HR exist to deal with. (assuming you're not their manager yourself).
> mass media culture has made people scared or less capable of sharing how they are different from the herd

You're right. Everyone is interesting once they open up a little.

The goal though isn't to show how you're different from the herd, it's to show that you're better than the herd, for whichever sub-herd you're signaling membership. That strategy preserves maximum choice.
People have too much social net, there's little incentive for the lowest class to improve themselves. Sometimes they earn less after taxes taking a low paid job than just receiving government money.
Social nets are bad. Nature has no social net either, works just fine. It's an unnatural system they build, no wonder its slowly crumpling and failing

Thanks for posting my quotes. Reading over them I realize that I haven't changed my mind on any of the positions. I expect most students of history understand there is a factual basis for every stance I've taken on China...

>Also, I'd turn this question back on you;

>If given a choice between being someone who lives 99% of the time in the US and has a US device backdoored by the NSA/CIA vs. someone who lives 99% of the time in China and has a Chinese device backdoored by the Chinese government, which would you choose?

If I spent 99% of my time in China I would possibly prefer the NSA backdoored system, and if I spent 99% of my time in the US, I would prefer the Chinese backdoored system. The precise question you asked really depends on what business I'm engaged in since each government is hostile to its own specific types of activities in its own ways.

Having said that, I do lean heavily towards the Chinese system because the Chinese government doesn't export its laws to non-Chinese people...I'm glad you posted my quotes about Assange because I do think the Chinese government is more measured.

Assange, a non-US resident/citizen, has spent a decade in jail for leaking info about war crimes the US committed. In comparison, if Assange, a non-Chinese resident/citizen, leaked CCP related secret intel/war crimes, he would 100% be in Australia raising his children freely right now.

Do you disagree? All evidence points to my assessment being correct... and if my assessment is correct, you will have to concede that Chinese backdoored devices are preferable to NSA/CIA backdoored devices if you are an average non-Chinese citizen/resident of country N.
The documentation say yes.

> Selecting by standardized test scores would result in a substantially less socially elite student body than the current system. A more Asian one. Stopping that is why there’s a movement to get rid of the SATs.

Except the most elite schools are the ones that are clinging to keeping standardized tests in their admissions processes, they only dropped it for the incoming class because of the pandemic.

Since someone... disagreed? I'll cite that I recently got a low end 14TB drive for less than $15 per TB, including sales tax. If I pretend it had a 20% VAT and convert that to euros it was actually well under 14€/TB.

Very strange to see these low effort negative comments on HN. BuzzFeed News is not BuzzFeed and it’s not the first time they are recognized by journalistic awards.

Without a career or at least some sort of good job, most men are extremely unattractive as long term partners for women. They can't just find a wife to support them while they look after the kids. So they'll end up without a career and without a family, which can be a very sad existence. For women, families are easier to come by regardless of career status.

Which, in my opinion, multiple walled gardens is categorically worse than a single walled garden.

It does depend, though. If you look at regulation and market type on a 2x2 grid, as you slide towards the scale of perfectly competitive markets, the requirement to regulate drops to zero. As you go to monopoly, regulation becomes a larger requirement.

So, in the net, a heavily regulated walled garden provides the same utility as a perfectly competitive market. I think Apple can keep their one-store model so long as they abide by comprehensive regulations up-to-and-including lowering commissions and allowing apps to advertise other ways to subscribe outside of IAP.

> They are arguing that elite institution's goal is to prepare entry into polite society not to provide a liberal education.

Not quite what I'm getting at. My point is more that the value proposition of the undergraduate programs of Ivy Leagues is partly the elite social circle you buy into.

Secondly, some of these ideas of "fixing" Ivy League admissions would just send those circles elsewhere, because rich families send their kids to schools with the children of other rich families.

This tight coupling of social and economic class is the real issue and radically changing a few schools' admission policies isn't going to dismantle that.

No, this is not true.

If there was no elasticity in the monetary supply, then in both 2009 and 2021 the entire US economy would have collapsed probably taking down the world with in 2008, and most nations would have been wiped out in 2021 as well.

Also, most major currencies are managed well enough.

If you don't like your local fiat units, then don't hold on to them. Exchange them for anything else you value more and use local currency on as that - currency. Currency was never meant to be a long term store of value.
This is my two cents, living at home with my parents full-time since the pandemic started.

Living near them 24/7 made me reflect much about my behavior around them and my desire for independence. Living together can become rough when trying to get privacy and even small differences in opinion/lifestyle can turn into intoxicating moments.

e.g. during breakfast my parents discuss their political opinions and I honestly disagree with all of them. I stay quiet to prevent controversy, but it’s one of those moments that ruin your morning.

They’ve been very hands off as well, but some micro interactions can get grating over long periods of time. It’s just parenting stuff.

TLDR: I’m extremely grateful for my parents and their unwavering support during the pandemic. We’ve grown closer together as a family and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. However, this experience reinforced my desire to move and forge my own path, away from them or their judgement.

Hope my perspective helps a bit!

I don't see how the policies you described would help at all in this situation. The main use of Slack here was to get the one-time-pass, which allowed them to login to the corporate network.

If they did this in your company, then all they'd have to do is scan through the Slack channels till they found a link to the internal company Jira and Confluence sites and then they'd have free reign to start mapping out your network and prepare for an attack.

I think an effective mitigation that could be implemented on the Slack side would be to sign the cookies and include the origin IP as part of the cookie. If you get a request with a cookie issued to a different IP, then you invalidate it and have the user login again.

This might be problematic on mobile devices, so maybe another option might be to include a device id and a nonce in the signed token and each time the cookie is used to establish a connection, the device is issued a new signed token with which to establish the next connection. If a user logs out on a device or the same token is used twice, then Slack could immediately invalidate all tokens.

Here is a different take from a newer paper.

> The majority (58.5%) “very much” or “somewhat” agreed that medical expenses contributed, and 44.3% cited illness-related work loss; 66.5% cited at least one of these two medical contributors—equivalent to about 530 000 medical bankruptcies annually.

Really though it suggests the US has both a medical bankruptcy problem as well as a missing safety net problem. I know I’m seriously thinking about leaving to avoid a likely major medical event killing my net worth in later life.

Can confirm. My parents own a restaurant in Italy and if the authorities come it’s a € 2000/3000 fine for sure.

For a small seasonal business that’s substantial.

For example if you give a receipt and the customer misplaces it on the way out and can’t find anymore, you’re liable for tax evasion. Never mind that the POS has its own registry they can check. For the authorities, “you didn’t give a receipt, so they can’t tax you.”

When the restaurant was opened about 20 years ago, all sorts of departments came to check it out and suggest whatever ridiculous change.

Food safety in Italy however is probably among the best in the world due to this.
