Because of the way we collectively make decisions, there is no efficient strategy that we could get through. What we have is likely close to the best that we can achieve.

Stuff like plandemic is a byproduct of how our society is organised, and how our minds work and so is the attitude that politicians take. They act close to optimal within the framework that they work in.

Complaining that elected officials lie or not tell us the truth comes from a need for stability and predictability that we're looking for in authority figures, which is an illusion, and every leader knows that perfectly.

Your proposed solution is an expression of that need. You want to make some sort of deal with someone, that's going to make the situation more bearable to you. This is analogous to a child that gets promised an hour of watching cartoons if they finish their homework.

Because in this situation nobody really knows how long it will last, or what we need to do to solve it, we're unsatisfied, scared and vulnerable. And easy pray for people that want to capture our minds, and use it for their goals, be it political, financial, or just grabbing the attention that they need.
I think in this particular case it was because I was betting the side bet hard. Usually the side bets are sucker bets, and counters avoid them. They didn't realize that this particular side bet could be (very easily!) counted.

But also, the Riviera is out of business, so why assume they were good at their jobs?
i would soften this a bit. If you’re not willing to delegate the killing (fully understanding what it is) you should not eat meat.
Yeah, I think especially in finance companies would be willing to pay for support and feature development. There has to be a way to monetize the project and make it so at least it pays for your time.

There's nothing wrong with a labor of love, but the companies using your software can afford to pay for your time.
Good points. What I said applies most obviously to situations like "I can't get out of bed", but I think it also applies to "I can't get this done", but maybe in more subtle ways.
I mean, the phrase "right of the people" occurs in 2A after the term "militia", so regardless of where you fall on the gun rights/control spectrum, the SCOTUS decision isn't entirely unreasonable or whole-cloth fabrication.

Additionally, the "minority that is opposed" is only a small minority. It's not clear cut. Gun rights will ultimately be a good test of US democracy in the long run.

I don't think they're a counterexample because when you trade in firearms between states, the actual interstate transfer must occur between federally licensed entities. The seller takes the gun to a federal licensee in their own state, who mails it to a federal licensee in the destination state, who transfers it to the purchaser. The federal government is expressly authorized to regulate interstate commerce.

Voters in California can't regulate animal welfare in Iowa; all they can do is ban trade in out-of-state animal products that are not compliant. The federal government can override those in-state decisions via the commerce clause, as I (not a lawyer!) understand it.
A short list of things I feel strongly about
Floating point is ideal for scientific applications, where the numbers are measurements/observations/approximations that have a margin of error built into them anyway, which is likely to be much larger than any additional imprecision introduced by floating point use.
that's usually not counted as "vaccinated" though
The article does a great job at explaining an important topic (morality) to the common public, using analogies from popular culture and religion to make its point.

It resonates with the tech community because some may have been struggling with this dilemma in the shadows for a long time, due to the conflict of interests.

Since this was a “how to” guide, if you want to get serious, here is a short video how to do the opposite:

In short: the way trends work is they get popular and then all the people already doing that thing get popular too.

There is during that time people who jump on the bandwagon. Once the popularity dies off, lots of people keep doing that thing, it just doesn't get the notoriety it did before: it returns to its niche.

Floating point is good enough when you need to display something, and also for certain scientific calculations where high precision is necessary.

You only start to see errors after a while, and it is likely good enough for the calculations being done. For something like money, you need to be very exact since 0.123541234123 cents is not a real value. Every trade you might "lose some cents" eg 0.00000001 or something like that. Over billions of transactions that starts to build up, and you start to either create or lose money arbitrarily.

In finance, if you are keeping track of money you want to use integer values where at all possible.
Yet, right?

That brings up a really interesting notion, no? Couldn't be done with bitcoin, but one might imagine one of these more centralized alt-currencies doing something like that. Somebody gets openly and obviously screwed on Binance and Joe Binance reviews/audits, and says, yep, and issues them some Binance coins*

*I know Binance does have it's own coin (coins?), I have no idea if it's technically possible with it/them, this is purely hypothetical.

A criminal in the EU can't go issue a "right to be forgotten" request to the prison system, for example. They have a legitimate reason to decline it.

Reach out to Amnesty Tech and/or Citizen Lab for help establishing whether this is a real infection or a false positive.

If it's real: Adjust your behavior to account for the fact that once you know you're a target, there is no device on the market and no practical measures you can use to maintain safety. Assume everything you do on or near a computer used by you or a close contact is being monitored. The level of effort needed to maintain strong security in the context of being a target is astronomically higher than any individual can deal with.
> The article’s set up is actually quite harmful and disempowering. It identifies resistance as a bundle of fears and pain to be overcome in order to be able to ‘just do’ the thing you are trying to do

I didn't read that at all. The author is suggesting you acknowledge and face those feelings and what they may be trying to tell you about how you feel about your goals or work.

Sometimes the fears are that your effort will be pointless and unrewarded. In that case, assuming those fears are well grounded, the author suggests rethinking your plans and not necessarily trying to overpower your resistance.

That matches my experience in some cases, though obviously not all.
In the absolute best case a DeFi platform is a giant forever-unfixable security risk. And many of them aren't the best case but are outright scams.
I’ll add that crime data is created by police. And a lot of them report a crime whether or not it led to a conviction. So somebody can get charged with a crime, be not guilty, and they’ll still be added to the statistics.
You can explicitly block all TOR nodes, but by default the security settings is set to "Medium" which blocks the majority of them.

I'd also like to know Cloudflare's definition of "malicious traffic". I think the main fears are DDoS attacks (which is a nonexistent threat to the majority of site owners) and scraping email addresses for spam. Which can be addressed by informing site owners to use a contact form widget instead of putting their email on their contact page.
So it's around 50%. If you consider the losses in creating hydrogen, the roundtrip is around 40% or so.
"he would have changed his tune so quickly after being famously against HFT"

He was still against HFT, that was part of his point. He was saying that even some of the surge of 1995-2005 might have been an illusion, because it was "only" HFT. If you feel that HFT really does raise the USA standard of living, then of course you are free to view the surge of 1995-2005 as entirely real.
Yes, conspiracies are not built from reason. They're either something for someone to cling to, or, a scam from my experience.

My argument is that by holding ourselves to a higher standard that eventually these morons selling magical promises will be left exposed as liars to 90%+ of people.

It's not easy, the biggest problem (imo) at the moment is that when these groups latch onto a small fact and spin lies most people are branding the small fact as misinformation of wrong other than accepting a common ground. This is dangerous and erodes the position of having sane intercourse.

Calmly explaining why people are wrong and explaining the reasoning behind this is always better imo than simply slapping someone down as happens all to often.

Not meaning to sound like I'm disagreeing, just trying to explain my position.

I'm probably wrong, I normally am about something, and I've probably gone counter to published papers on human nature but this is my 2 pence based on science outreach and seeing it done right and wrong.

This isn't really a fair comparison. If someone is doing something blatantly and obviously illegal, then that is different. If I saw a male coworker punch a female coworker in the face, then obviously I am going to do something. I'm assuming the majority of workplace interactions that women have issue with are not blatantly and obviously illegal. Advances/flirting that is unwanted, crude jokes, condescension, etc. I have no idea if a woman is perceiving an interaction with a male colleague as one of these things without her telling me. I don't know what kind of relationship she has with this guy who is engaging in this behavior. I feel it would be premature of me to assume that every time I saw something that I think a woman would perceive as harassment that she is actually perceiving this as harassment AND that she needs my help to deal with it. Many women are perfectly capable of sticking up for themselves and don't want or need a "white knight" to rush in and help them.
Could be. I think the pork industry probably believes this is a temporary anomaly that they can overcome with lobbyists and lawyers. Or that California voters will reverse themselves once bacon costs $10 a pound. If that's true, they wouldn't want to invest for that short time horizon.

If a similar rule were adopted nationwide, I'm sure they could make changes and pass the price increases along to the consumer.

Fair warning, expressing that opinion is liable to get you dogpiled around here (but I feel like you're absolutely right).

I have nothing against Medium articles, but they really have no place on HN. If you want to read Medium articles, they have an app that already aggregates content for you. Furthermore, if we can't really archive these sites to share with everyone else, it's just a moot point. Every Medium article that I see on HN just feels like a trojan-horse ad.
Yes, there are many of these protections in every country on the planet. Governments also often protect people from, for example, financial harms.
> wealth, love, happiness, destruction of enemies, getting more opportunities

One should be aware of the fact that
these things can be pursued quite effectively with no need for seeking out or confronting any malevolent beings or forces, and this will generally be an easier and more fruitful approach, at least for the novice practitioner. It's very rare that even one's outwardly "selfish" goals are not far more amenable to a positive approach which can implicitly leverage the "loving kindness" that's inherent to the universe according to many practitioners of magick and similar pursuits-- relying on it as a key regulating, stabilizing and harmonizing principle.
The argument that middlemen are parasites who provide no value is a claim with a pretty dark history.

Counting Crime: A Lecture on the Politics of Crime Data and Its Uses
"because DRM is fundamentally pointless"

I dunno, it gave this person a lot of trouble and the result is maybe a very narrow victory that doesn't practically matter? And this is the lowest level of widevine security - L3 which is basically assumed to be owned. Good luck with L1 which uses trusted compute primitives. DRM has won.

And I'm saying this as someone who agrees DRM is a threat to society as we're taking things that the world could otherwise have for free and denying it them so we can instead charge a small % for it. So we're intelligent enough to build this kind of technical sophistication but we are unable/unwilling to figure out a different model for financing it.

> To my understanding their browser isolation text just renders to canvas on their edge servers (don’t quote me on this). Does canvas provide any accessibility at all and is actually a bigger problem with the creation of that standard / element in HTML5 with text generation? It’s an image block that allows text generation with almost no accessibility in mind? That’s not really Cloudflare’s fault to be honest.

The standard workaround is to create a parallel DOM that's invisible, e.g. covered up by the canvas. To be clear, this parallel DOM should be based on the accessibility tree of the remote browser, not based on the original DOM, as that would undermine the whole point of the exercise. This work-around may not be perfect, but Cloudflare hasn't implemented even this.

> But this post feels like an open letter to some bigger issue when it seems like it’s a very niche and non-common security tool.

It seems to me, from Cloudflare's original pre-announcement of this technology [1], that they intend for it to be widely adopted. Here's the money quote:

> Operating costs translate directly to customer costs. The S2 system was designed to make deployment to an entire enterprise and not just targeted users (aka: vaccinating half the class) both feasible and attractive for customers.

That is where your personal judgement comes in of course, but it would be hard for them to "run away with the stocks". These are not physical certificates, but just registrations in a central organisation.

Brokers (in traditional finance) are regulated, audited, and also are often subject to insurance policies in case they went bankrupt, or similar. If you are dealing with a large and reputable institution, you are unlikely to gain any benefit by assigning the shares to yourself I would suspect. Someone please correct me if I am missing something though.
Yes, I think we talk about different things. Main focus of criticism of alt-space, a.k.a new private space community is cost-plus schemas of payments, which encourage increases in costs. The big difference of SpaceX was offering a "function" for sale - there is a launch capability, which has price N dollars per launch or M dollars per kilogram on LEO, and NASA can take it or not.

This way the idea that all or many congressional districts should participate in NASA contracts - because then those congressmen support increasing NASA's budgets - goes out the window. Now congressmen - and congresswomen, of course - can judge NASA in terms of space progress vs. money spent, not in terms of distribution of money to jobs in their districts. From this point of view, your question is irrelevant - no, it wouldn't, as after forth launch Falcon-1 SpaceX didn't have funds to continue, and NASA helped, but that doesn't mean NASA doesn't have an ineffective policy.
In-person shopping for food (including travel to/from the place of purchase), food prep, cooking, and the associated cleanup is an enormous time sink. Perhaps you have free time or are already used to spending a lot of it on these tasks, but let's not pretend that it's "not that much". It's huge.

See my corollary comment on some of my non-CF servers and the blocking - Tor does provide important anonymity, and I understand that Cloudflare, which is bigger, can probably absorb it without much damage, but unfortunately Tor exit nodes have a much higher attack and hacking attempts than regular IP addresses. In high-security applications when anonymity is already lost anyway (logging into a bank, for example) it is reasonable, due to the inherent risk, to block Tor exit nodes.
