Exactly. The reality is there almost always exists more than two viewpoints. Maybe it's not done deliberately, but this false dilemma may be a big reason the echo chamber effect is so powerful. I'll also acknowledge it's difficult to find reputable sources which present more than two viewpoints.

1. Stripe has strict access controls—only those working on Identity/verifications can access the data.

2. Biometric data is not stored! It’s gone from our systems within 48 hours (usually in just minutes).

3. We think this’ll actually make the state of global privacy better—rather than having individuals collect, and verify your ID, Stripe will securely handle verification.

The problem of course is that not every issue needs a "both sides" treatment. Sometimes there are questions of objective facts that reading lies from alternative sources do not actually help you in understanding the truth of the world.

The person who desperately tries to cite "50/50" liberal and conservative sources in the article is the worst kind of fence sitter. Sometimes, one side or the other is just wrong, or their position is disingenuous. It doesn't make sense to provide a fair and balanced view when the other view is that maybe there are literal demons running the government.

One of these sites outright says they offer a "conspiracy theorist" feed. While there is some educational benefit to understanding what those people are reading, in the context of getting a balanced perspective, we should acknowledge it's useless information to most people, if not downright harmful.
As long as none of the participants previously took another vaccine, it won’t matter. What they are reading is relative (to the control group) rates.
I wished they would have some hints regarding the applications of this "third generation desktop computer". Those things had 32KiB of RAM -- what were they using that for? Some felt even the need for a 32KiB RAM expansion. Clearly those were not used as desktop calculators, but what were they doing?

There are numerous examples on both sides for sure. I would add that performance also does well for companies operating in a bull market.

In the case of cloudflare (And many tech stocks) they had a black swan event of a large portion of the global economy going online during the pandemic which has juiced their returns.

Not saying it doesn't happen but rather that it isn't how people typically price their IPOs to generate value to the retail investor.
Yes I'm talking from a customer point-of-view. Was trying to buy a vps and they for some reason wanted to scan my driver's lic using this before I could pay through Paypal. Yes I was trying to buy via PayPal but this was step 1 for some reason.

So I have only seen this work from the customer's point-of-view and it was not a good experience for me. I am a very patient person as i scanned my dl 4 times on desktop using a webcam capable of recording 1080p. Then i tried with a mobile and that didn't work either. A less patient man would have quit much sooner. I tried my best then just bought from the next site because they connected the Pay button directly to Paypal.
Identity was built in-house over the last decade from learnings from Stripe’s experience as a payment company.

We’ve invested heavily in creating an end-to-end verification product with an ergonomic API, responsive capture experience, and advanced fraud detection and verification capabilities.

Scaling ID verification globally also means working with others—we supplement our homegrown system with a number of partners for the best experience for the user. (e.g. Analogous to Stripe credit card payments, we also work with banking institutions.)
> Why do you believe those salaries are the result of the American healthcare system? Per-capita, Americans pay more than anyone for healthcare, just in a very unbalanced way that dramatically favors those with a job over those without.

It doesn't really matter whether or not the salary difference is caused by healthcare or indeed that Americans pay more for healthcare. The only thing that matters is the post-healthcare take-home pay; if that figure is larger in American than Sweden for a given individual, then that individual is economically better off in America pretty much tautologically.
Google Fiber, powerful MacBooks for the last decade-plus (currently an Apple Silicon machine). Normal gmail takes longer to do its AJAX requests than full-page loads on "basic HTML" gmail, consistently. Lots longer. It also likes to eat 400-500MB of memory and all the processor cycles it can get, sitting in the background.

Inbox was even worse, but I think they fattened up Gmail to match it after Inbox folded so the Inbox-loving people wouldn't suffer from increased performance when they had to switch back.

On the plus side they drove me to finally start using real, native mail clients again, so... I guess I can thank them for that.

There are basically four votes that matter, corresponding to the four major browsers: Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari), Microsoft (Edge) and Mozilla (Firefox).

Google claims that "browsers" support an API if it's supported in Chrome and in Microsoft Edge, a Chromium-based browser.

I think that's a fair claim, because MS does sometimes block Chromium features that they don't like. https://www.techradar.com/news/microsoft-edge-becomes-latest...

Microsoft could have blocked File System Access, for some of the same reasons that Mozilla did, but they didn't; they elected to enable the feature.

Since Microsoft + Google together have 70% share of desktop web, and since Microsoft agrees with Google that the File System Access API is a good thing for the web, I think it's not wrong to say that "browsers" support this feature.

Now, you might say, "Microsoft shouldn't count!" but Edge's market share is bigger than Firefox, and we all agree that Mozilla's vote should count (at least as long as they can hang on to 3% market share).

>My query [if Evolution can be queried] is why the need for such intense levels of chronic pain? A tolerable ache in a part of the body will automatically make you aware of the need to treat it carefully.

Would it tho? I know many people who just brush off tolerable pain and go on, even when they shouldn't.

It's very more common behavior in the "close to nature" / rugged types, which most of our evolutionary ancestors were.

>I mean, look at toothache [which I mentioned in passing in my original post]. People have been driven to the brink of insanity with the pain from a broken tooth. Yet what does a broken tooth matter? Humans can still function perfectly adequately after losing all their teeth and a broken tooth can still function almost as well as a whole one

True. Though a broken touth without maintainance and care can mean many things too, from gangrane to death.
This was the final push I needed to learn Clojurescript.

Absolute awesome work.

I always kept my distance from Clojure because of the reliance on the Java ecosystem but having a productive and stable language that is a pleasure to work in and that transpiles to JavaScript seems like a good deal. Plus a solid REPL-based workflow and rapid prototyping support, something I sometimes miss from more static languages.
I think you might be missing the point. I'm sure gp does not doubt that you collect consent before collecting and using data. However, when presented with the choice of not giving up personal data and not using $awesome_service (or maybe even $essential_service), I’d imagine all but a very tiny percentage of people would reluctantly give up personal data. The data is then stored for three years, and if there's ever a leak, it would be hugely damaging given the scope:

> all images captured, extracted data from your ID document including name, date of birth, and ID number, and any information submitted via forms such as name, date of birth, SSN, email, and phone number, and the verification response.

Deep Packet Inspection Classification Methods

Good comment on testnet. From what I understand, I don't think that's all the plan for the these clusters. Otherwise, why do they specify this?

More importantly, the cluster is only 150 validators:

> A Solana cluster is capable of subsecond confirmation for up to 150 nodes with plans to scale up to hundreds of thousands of nodes.

This is not comparable to Mempool where it is in your best interest to broadcast a transaction across the network. Yes, everyone sees the mempool but it doesn't allow you to manipulate transaction order as long as the original sender has paid a high enough fee.

Interesting, I tried the create a routine but it required a login, that seems uncessary that early.

Especially because I assume (since I can't easily check it now) that it can't be used to put together a routine for people who are just terribly out of shape.
Not for me as a SAAS founder who only wants to build an in house team. Agencies are ok if you have no option at all but most of the ones I have talked to are just glorified Ad money spenders unfortunately.

Not saying you cannot exist as plenty of agencies exist and I am sure most make good money but I don't see it for myself considering agencies/freelancers don't only have MY interest in mind. I would rather invest in house for the long haul.
> The US dollar is backed by a large military and nuclear weapons.

This is a meaningless statement. Please explain explicitly how you think nuclear weapons ensure that the dollar has some trade value.

The US government doesn’t offer nuking privileges at a fixed price, to my knowledge.
> It is not necessarily to create value going forward

Not sure where you are going with that thought. A business that isn't creating value is going out of business or selling to someone who has an idea of how to use its assets to create value.
I mean, what else would you call it? It's not really that clever IMO. But yes, I see the recreation of all these traditional institutions but with a crypto flavoring to be a little unnecessary and instead of reinvisioning specific financial instruments and other types of financial products, people are just reskinning the same underlying products + mechanisms.
At one point I spent a couple of days watching dozens of videos on procrastination, and this video [1] by Tim Pychyl was by far the best. I strongly recommend it.

It's ostensibly focused on helping grad students with procrastination, but the tips and techniques he gives in the talk can be applied by anyone.

Have you considered not “identifying”? Just choose your opinions on issues a la carte. Or even don’t have an opinion on a bunch of issues.

Blindsight was good, but really dense. I devour most sci-fi but had to read Blindsight twice before I had any confidence that I understood what was going on.
IMO it takes serious anthropological commitment to have a non-idiot understanding of a people. I feel this shouldn't be an individual job. Either your entire community has deep, embedded relations with another community or it doesn't.

Otherwise it's like asking for better sources to read about Chinese culture, or like visiting China once a year for vacation. You can't read your way into being culturally competent. You might even move your entire family to China, but it may only be your children who truly begin the road to integration. Anyone who is part of an immigrant community will have a story of the trajectory of cultural competency. It is an optimism which must be fulfilled by your next generation.

You can, however, follow generic protocols of kindness whilst in ignorance.
Not sure. I guess it shouldn't hurt anything though, since semicolon is the comment character.
If you stumble over your words in a video presentation, hold still and
pause, collect your thoughts, and repeat what you were saying starting
from the last gap before you stumbled. Afterwards you can edit out all
the mistakes, sometimes without even a noticeable discontinuity if you
haven't moved too much and your video editing software is good at
fading. Knowing you can fix everything later takes a lot of the
pressure off. It might also be useful just to pause while you think of
what to say next instead of feeling like you always have to keep
talking as you would in ordinary conversation or a live lecture. You
can edit out the pauses too. For video editing software, I've read
good things about DaVince Resolve but my GPU isn't new enough to run
it. If you don't know what video editing software to use, avoid
analysis paralysis and just use Blender. I hope you'll post to HN
again when you have some videos done.
Real life minority report: podcast explores algorithm to detect serial killers
I read the title and for a moment I got excited and thought, that's a good idea, what if using a website was like using a program that operates on a file with all my data in there and next time I want to use the site I need to open my file before I can do anything.
So for now, it actually is waste.
Most other countries offer a baseline of health care that DOES NOT go to extraordinary lengths (ie, 10M) that is free to everyone. They pay those doctors a salary, often also cover the medical education for them etc.

Then people can and do pay on top of that for private care. Super wealthy are in their own system, many others go for basic stuff to public option but might pay privately for speed / fancier results.

This mirrors libertarian model in most cases.

The US is a bit unique. For example, end of life care is both fully covered in most cases and insanely expensive - we spend far more than many other countries on things like last 3-6 months of life doing "heroic" measures, full intensive care etc etc. Again very lucrative to hospitals so don't see it stopping, but yes, other countries do not do this unless you pay yourself.

(Not OP) It does not really matter: if someone is a criminal (however tiny that group is), and we make the (reasonable?) hypothesis that criminals are not more (nor less) informed that the general population, the intersection is really tiny.

tiny * tiny = very tiny
Random thought: they all have terrorist attacks in recent-ish memory.
People hit financial independence and retire early all the time. It's quite routine.

It is definitely hard for food service workers, and what not, but the powers that be really don't have much say.
> is tiny when the former group (criminals) is probably an order of magnitude smaller?

How did you arrive at that? Even a significant fraction of people I know who do security work would agree they don't in general have good info opsec, because it's a pain in the ass. Most of the technical people I know wouldn't even know how to do it properly.

"Criminals" is hard to define precisely, but some small integer percent is at least a reasonable lower bound. Afaics people who are actually good at info opsec don't number in the millions.

So even if we simplify by assuming the rough magnitude of both groups is the same, you still have the intersection of two small groups -> tiny. This is probably complicated a little bit because criminals have more incentive than average, if not more experience.

That's what they're saying, though? They want to stop running commands through the shell, and start running them directly, with exec() family of functions. SSH's protocol currently makes that impossible.

Sometimes, I need to run a command on a remote machine, and SSH is basically the protocol/tool for that. But I don't have a choice, but to involve the shell on the remote. (There might not be a shell locally: I've done SSH with libraries with Python. But you still have to escape for the remote's shell, and that is what makes this annoying.)
The way domestic services (both public and private) in Finland verify user's identity is via bank credentials (Finnish Trust Network), via Mobile ID (Mobiilivarmenne), or via government FINeID. All these involve multi-factor authentication.

The service then gets the user's personal identity code as a return value.

Looks like that kind of flow is not supported.

Finnish users will be very hesitant of giving scans of their ID documents to foreign companies as no domestic online services require them. And of course Finnish companies cannot practically use this for now, at least for domestic users.
No need for the hypothetical — that happens regularly, and people on the left criticize them for it. They just don't often describe it as "censorship".

Both the movement of the nucleons inside nuclei and the movements of the quarks inside nucleons are affected by magnetic fields (because the neutrons have magnetic moments, while the protons and all quarks have both magnetic moments and electric charges), so it is expected that in the presence of magnetic fields there is some splitting of the nuclear energy levels, similar to the splitting of the atomic and molecular energy levels caused by a magnetic field, which can be detected in the atomic and molecular spectra.

The changes in the nuclear energy levels should cause small changes in the decay rates.

Nevertheless, such changes might be too small to be measurable, because for particles that move much slower than the speed of light the magnetic forces are extremely small in comparison with the electric forces and even smaller in comparison with the strong nuclear forces.

The influence of magnetic fields on atomic spectra is very small, even if the electrons move much faster than the nucleons. The changes in nuclear energy levels caused by magnetic fields would be much smaller, while the distances between nuclear energy levels, which determine the decay probabilities, are much larger than in atomic spectra.

It seems very likely that the magnetic effects are too small to be measurable.

I live in one of the (upper?) middle class parts of Atlanta and I really hope they don't do that. Crime rates are up in a bad way, and the city can be pretty mismanaged, but taking your ball and going home isn't a real option. It's just going to hurt the city that will still be right next door, and that has your sports (some of it, Braves are gone), museums and culture, restaurants, a lot of work spaces and shopping, etc. You can't just wall it off and you do take part in it, so stay, keep paying your share, and fight to make it better. It'll be worse than when people outside the perimeter vote down taxes to cover transportation infrastructure and refuse mass transit, but are the ones commuting into and through town increasing the burden on the transit system. We're all in this together, so let's try to work together to improve it.
