For a whole class of potential (if unlikely) situations, it shifts from me potentially being caught up in a mass hack, response to an overly broad warrant, etc to needing be targeted specifically.

Passphrase compromised? If they're hosting, you know exactly where to go to access my passwords. If I'm hosting, I can tell you that I use 1Password and my master password and I'm still _relatively_ safe in that you don't even know where to find a copy of my password database.

Encryption broken (whether algorithm or implementation)? If they're hosting, they've now become an _extremely_ valuable target as they're holding a bunch of paid-for accounts, credit cards, banking details, personal identity documents, etc. Not necessarily super-valuable in a one-off situation, but if you could grab a million password databases at once... Which wouldn't include mine, because it's off on my own server.

Legal abuse? An overly broad warrant could vacuum up every database in their possession. Presumably the government can't open the vaults, but if they _really_ cared how sure are you? Would you be comfortable not changing all of your passwords (but can't change your identity documents...) if the NSA asked for a copy of your database? If my data's never in their possession, then I'd need to be targeted specifically with a warrant.

For something I'm using to store all of my accounts, banking details (both logins as well as account and routing numbers), personal identity documents, MFA backups, key backups, software licenses, and more... my question for you would be more "Why would I take any additional risk when I don't have to?" I'd rather not be within the same blast radius as all the other 1Password users.

Edited to add: Also, outside of the "why don't I want my data sitting beside everyone else's", more generally with regards to a hosted option is where my data goes if I have any payment problems, and availability of my data being within my control (if my server goes down, I can fix it--if they have a massive week long outage I just need to twiddle my thumbs potentially without access to... anything).
I also wonder if the existence of these APIs has something to do with DOS and Windows, where the command line is actually a single string and quoting is a nightmare.

I wrote a little bit about this related issue here: https://jmmv.dev/2020/11/cmdline-args-unix-vs-windows.html
how easy is it to test for these antibodies for a layman? could people actually easily get tested prior to considering a vaccination?
Agreed -- but a lot of social media sites say "we just connect people" and then turn around and are forced to play moderator so things don't burn out of control...
The narrative is popular, but if you read the criticism and failure at replication, you'll see the study is far from conclusive.

I think this article spot-on. In my opinion, there is very little (but not zero) actual misinformation on the Internet. Most of what we call “misinformation” is an influence campaign by one side, which is thoroughly disliked by the opposing side. When Big Tech labels something “misinformation” they are essentially taking one side or the other on the issue at hand.

How is an mRNA strand that encode for a single very specific protein on a virus the same as the entire virus?

The antibody memory made from a Natural Infection seems like it would be much richer and have much more variety than the mRNA vaccine.

I would imagine the attenuated virus vaccine would be closer to Natural immunity.
Not to disagree with the effectiveness of immunity gained by getting Covid-19, but also:

"The evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants ... compared to antibodies acquired from an infection."

"Why You Need to Get Vaccinated Even If You’ve Already Had COVID-19"

And also, vaccination is a much, much safer way to get antibodies, than via getting sick with Covid-19.
The vaccine is less dangerous than flying in an airplane. It can boost your immunity even further. (Every boost to immune recognition, recruitment, and proliferation decreases the odds of infection and spread. You need to understand how the system works, and that takes at least three months of study.)

I'm a 1Password user right now, but I've tried self-hosting Bitwarden_rs and like it very much.

The one killer feature which is preventing me from switching is the ability to use multiple self-hosted servers at once (so I can separate family vaults from business) [1], but "client profiles" are likely to be implemented some time soon [2].

Now that I've learnt that local vaults are going away in 1Password 8 [3], I'll probably make a move to Bitwarden sooner rather than later.

The test is easy, but has a relatively high false positive rate. It also may use up lab resources that could be put to other uses.

The other wrinkle (and possibly the most important one) is that we don’t want to create a system where antivaxxers have an incentive to deliberately infect themselves and/or others.
It's available and getting cheaper pretty quickly. Hopefully others can chime in, seems like a promising path to take.

It's been going on for years, I know that. I don't know if the rent-seekers have ever tried to shut it down. The fact that it's so complete tells me that a huge number of mainstream law firms look the other way when their employees use the browser extension.
“Acquiring” natural immunity also has the following side effects at a much higher rate than the vaccine:

- Death

- Hospitalization

- Chronic illness, which can include long-term neurological impairment

I feel like it’s important to keep that in mind if you’re either advocating “natural immunity” as a public health strategy, or considering it a personal strategy.
Older people has to have some sample bias since those without strong immune systems died.
Mailchimp is "big tech" now? Can't these folks just throw a RSS feed together (hosted on the cheapest static webhost around) and tell people to subscribe to it? This is a big fat nothingburger if I ever saw one.
There's physiological addiction, withdrawal alleviation, and psychological addiction too, to games or habits or anything. Then, I find where you live, who you know, and how you use drugs in patterns while also living in those patterns, this makes it harder to quit. Finally, there's the coping, the escapism, the alternate forms of consciousness, which help us get through the suffering of daily life.

For me, only using legal "softcore" stuff, I have to think in terms of delay and moderation. I am fortunate, as Lincoln once said, to not have the urge and scourge of strong addiction to alcohol. I can't claim some magical fortitude or moral superiority, I was lucky enough to have a safe life and a "meh" feeling about alcohol and nicotine.
don't conflate primary antibodies with b-cells.

You and I aren't walking around with bloodstreams full of anti-measles antibodies, despite being vaccinated in infancy: but you can bet that you will be if you encounter a bunch of measles in the wild, in relatively short order.

The question is: are the covid vaccines like tetanus vaccines or like measles vaccines? So far, the evidence points to the latter, but the desire for a booster anyway is driven by the fact that SARS-CoV-2 is a pandemic; neither tetanus nor measles are.
As far I’m aware this is an American thing. I’m from Finland (no vaccine pass yet) but travelling in Germany/Austria right now. They have the concept of 3G (don’t ask me to translate) but basically you can’t eat, drink or stay anywhere without either a vaccine, recovery or negative test.

There is a pop up antigen test facility about 100m from the restaurant where anyone can go get a quick negative result and go do their thing for a set period of time. I’m conflicted on this given the inaccuracy of the antigen tests.

I’m currently sat in a restaurant typing this message, and have been served food and drink and yet to be asked to verify my EU certificate of vaccination. So your mileage may vary.
Do you or anyone else have a link to the other study?

I'm reminded of a quote from J. M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan: "You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it." I once thought it was, and have often seen it used as, an inspirational quote until I later read another opinion that it was a warning of the dangers of being too single focused.
Vaccination also has more durable immunity than natural immunity in this case. Without those risks you outline.
There is an SE in the current range and a mini. They are clearly targeted at different audiences.

I'll not that all the complaints I read were during the period when the SE (or equivalent) was available. People were clearly calling for something else yet when it was offered they didn't take it up.
> there is very little (but not zero) actual misinformation on the Internet.

It’s not the amount to take issue with but the spread of its influence. Anti-vaccine ideology was given a platform by big tech and now we have an endemic disease because folks believe that nonsense and let it hold sway over their medical decisions.

Edit: for folks voting this down I’d be interested in a rebuttal or at least an explanation of how this doesn’t add to the conversation. I try to be a good citizen here and thought I was engaging in good faith.

One thing to note from the github link:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_low_latency

That was deprecated in 2017. The sysctl is still there, but doesn't actually do anything in newer kernels. There are a few other ways to lower latency at the expense of throughput but I will let folks research that themselves.
True .. but if we could just shoot excessive heat off into space no? Like a few city scale central heating / cooling systems that radiated into space.
Nobody said they don't. But 1) that doesn't make the fuel cells bigger (so the "similar dry mass of the fuel cells to batteries of a given capacity" is a category error), and 2) the additional tank mass is very mild. We can for example store 20.8 tonnes of hydrogen/oxygen mixture in a ~2 tonne tank. We know this because the Centaur stage does it. And those two tonnes of tankage correspond to ~50 MWh of electricity generated by a fuel cell. That's almost 300 tonnes worth of batteries in the form of 23 tonnes of mass, 21 of which might even not need transportation from Earth. Potentially up to a 100:1 win for Team Fuel Cells! ("Only" ~10:1 if you do carry water from Earth, but that's still substantial.)
The Red Cross disagrees[1]: “One of the Red Cross requirements for plasma from routine blood and platelet donations that test positive for high-levels of antibodies to be used as convalescent plasma is that it must be from a donor that has not received a COVID-19 vaccine. This is to ensure that antibodies collected from donors have sufficient antibodies directly related to their immune response to a COVID-19 infection and not just the vaccine, as antibodies from an infection and antibodies from a vaccine are not the same.”

Interestingly this means if you have natural immunity and are a regular blood donor you shouldn’t get the vaccine since it deprives the healthcare system of a lifesaving treatment.

You'd have to compare the firing rate at Google to other large companies, and that would be very difficult data to gather. Particularly when "firing" can take the form of the manager telling someone "you might want to start looking for another job."
Yup, and imagine seeing all the new people show up and get killed immediately. How that must have effected the way they interacted with people, and how it must have felt to be treated that way when you first show up.

The new people would get you killed if they didn't learn how to avoid dying.

The sub is in crisis mode right now. Normally a huge pro-apple even on their worst days do no wrong sub. Right now people are pissed and speaking up. The mods are pissed that they have to deal with it (boo hoo). Anything to add fuel to this fire is good in my eyes because the same people who said "It's ok I have nothing to hide" from Edward Snowdens work are getting slapped in the face for their same ideology to this happening to Apple.
I know this thread is catnip for the antivax contingent that reliably appears, but this argument has several problems.

First, our vaccines provide a stronger immune response than infection, as has been well documented by now[1]. Vaccination on top of prior infection boosts the response[2].

Second, the harm from the vaccine is minimal, and comparing it with an amputation is ridiculous (in spite of the large number of superstitious people who believe otherwise).

There are subtle arguments to be made for adjusting vaccination (one shot is almost certainly enough) when prior infection is documented, but from a public health perspective it's simple enough: pretty much everybody (over 12 until trials complete) should get vaccinated, and if they did, illness and death would decrease dramatically.

That's a strawman. Can you instead address this particular bucket: people who have had Covid, and are now wondering if they are as immune as they can hope for, considering all other available interventions.
But if you’re doing that, why not just import the identical function?
I wish the headlines would be a bit more specific - ie, wireless router authentication bypass.

The other key piece, is this bypass available from the internet generally or just from LAN side. That's a key difference, and not clear - I've found when they say remote unauthenticated attacker often these vulns are NOT available WAN side.

So you often end up with a better headline of wireless router vulnerable to LAN side authentication bypass.

I haven't looked at this one.

But CVE as a headline is not that useful -> get past overbroad statements -> you might get to a more useful one sentance headline (these articles sometimes require reading 300+ words to even get a sense of what risk actually is - it's the new style).
> Now, a new NIH-supported study shows that the answer to this question will vary based on how an individual’s antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were generated: over the course of a naturally acquired infection or from a COVID-19 vaccine. The new evidence shows that protective antibodies generated in response to an mRNA vaccine will target a broader range of SARS-CoV-2 variants carrying “single letter” changes in a key portion of their spike protein compared to antibodies acquired from an infection.

I guess you could script bots using an emulator but there are probably easier targets for carders.

For IP reputation, looking for IPs associated with proxies and also data center IPs though blacklisting all the big cloud providers will grab innocent users. EG: US military runs outbound proxies on azure.

This all for new traffic. Users that are known to be non fraudulent have a unique persistent cookie that allows them to bypass all the checks. So they could jump on a VPN and stuff would work.

Stuff we built for an online bank was even more advanced and looked at the incoming packets to detect proxies(tcp fingerprinting to determine OS). And we did shady stuff with fingerprinting internal networks with WebRTC. Our adversaries were 100 times better than simple carders running selenium scripts.
Thank you for trying to explain their thought process — I appreciate that, that's very kind!

I appreciate that you're very empathetic, and I feel like not everyone else is. There's a whole lot of people who probably can't imagine what it's like to be somebody else. That's hard, isn't it?

But when you tell lazy people not to be lazy, and they don't do it, then it almost sounds like you must either be calling them dumb, or defective.

So that's why I feel like thinking of it as treatable is a nice and friendly middle ground. Which a lot of people don't seem to.

That doesn't seem to be their impulse. Oh, they're lazy. Let's not fix that.
> Reed Elsevier and the other rent seekers got no reason to live.

Listen to me, HN. Stop listening to this meme. You aren't using your brains.

Everyone has a hard-on for Elsevier, and no other publisher. Why is that? Because they don't know anything about publishing. They've just heard the name Elsevier (and it kind of looks evil) and so they just parrot it ad-nauseam. What about Springer? Taylor & Francis? Wiley-Blackwell? And what about the hundreds of smaller publishers that control major journals? Everyone gives Elsevier shit about suing Sci-Hub, but nobody gives the American Chemical Society shit for suing Sci-Hub. The fact is that people only hold up Elsevier as the great evil because people are tying to over-simplify a complex problem by finding a "single evil", because then they don't have to think about a more complex, nuanced problem.

The fact is that there is a reason that paid journals keep existing, and it's not the profit margins of the Big Four. It's the academic research industry. Every single academic research institute in the world that publishes papers depends on the reputation of journals. Getting your paper published in a "prestigious journal" is literally the only way to progress a researcher's career, and thus get more funding. Without funding, there is no research! And the journals are providing real due diligence happening in the process of creating those journals, and somebody has to pay for that process.

If the paid journals went away tomorrow, researchers would be fucked, and academic institutions would have no idea what to do with themselves. So please stop with this ridiculous meme that Elsevier is The Great Satan holding back science. Sure, they should profit a lot less! But getting rid of them entirely with no system to replace them will be destructive to scientific research.
