I haven't seen any evidence there was in fact a hack at all. A digital contract was used in a way that complied with the contract that the bonehead writers of that contract did not intend. That's it. If bad contract writers get to cry "hack" and beg for their money back there is no point to digital contracts at all.

If someone had physically or electronically broken into systems and illicitly copied private keys that would be a different story. Here someone executed permissible actions on chain that people didn't like, wah wah.

My home town is too small to have a zoo. I bought a domain that makes it look like there is, which makes me proud owner of the veterinarian@ email address. I also had a lot of fun taking a free design template and combine it with Creative Commons zoo animal photos.
I got Windows going on a throwaway VM and installed the 1P client. Took 30 mins to an hour but surely a better option than recreating your vault by hand
Huh, that’s the first time I’ve heard of a squatted .au domain in quite some years. For the most part people don’t try it because it’s against auDA rules. Even apart from the squatting rules, this particular registration is liable to cancelling because it doesn’t meet the eligibility criteria even before the even stricter rules that came in in April (though those don’t apply to this particular domain until they next renew it) because the domain name doesn’t match any business or trading name, or their line of business, or anything like that. In theory you could get this particular registration cancelled just by submitting a complaint to the registrar of record first, then to auDA if they don’t cancel it.

I don’t use mosh myself as I thought the project had been abandoned, but I know several folks that love it. Just want to thank you on their behalf.

Also, I appreciate knowing you all are watching PRs and bug reports even if you don’t see the need to take action. Makes me feel the project is just dormant and not abandoned. If you care about continued use and adoption, you might consider posting an update to the website similar to this post you made here. If you aren’t worried about adoption, then no problem and thanks again for your effort.

Sort of. Local echo and "smart current line editing" aren't quite the same as block mode, forms, etc. To me, a html form is closer to what 3270 is.

No. I explicitly mentioned that git was not blameless. My post was about the fact we’re moving towards the realization that after 15 years of trying, we’re not going to find a grand design overhaul that makes git’s concepts easy to pick up without putting in effort.

Xcodeghost was just another analytics API to Apple, so they didn't care until they were alerted that it was added to apps without the consent of these developers. It was not 'malware' in the sense of enrolling users in a botnet or utilizing private APIs to record the screen without permission.

Exactly. I vastly prefer this than the slight (if any) performance advantage with native apps, and I've used plenty of slow native apps too. Bad code is bad code and it's strange how much dogmatic hate Electron gets on HN.

The messaging early in the pandemic seemed less about “not burden the health service with your own illness” directly, and more the indirect impact that burden created in servicing non-covid patients. I don’t think that changes much, does it? Still seems like we need to make sure people need to not be overwhelming hospitals. Either via vaccination or other means.
Facebook app store and Epic App Store are about to double turn their faucets on.

But you are right, the lobbyists involved here are playing for seriously high stakes. I guess someone finally found a way to make Apple spend all that cash on hand.

Can you elaborate what you mean by that? Support of sum and product types are used everywhere in typed functional languages and I don't know of any way they are exploited specifically in IO in a way that does not generalize to other domains.

Yeah, I don't get it either. If I somehow had illegally obtained 600M (or even tens of thousands), I would go complete operational segregation, and probably use a clean computer for everything to do with it. Hard to link to or release info identifying real info from a system that has no access to it and the bits for it or passwords to it have never touched its RAM, much less its disk.
I've come across loads of squatted names over the years. I'm not familiar with the latest rules, but for a time you could just say that "pjg content site is a service provided by umbrellabrand pty ltd". What's the latest?

I did manage to get a domain cancelled the other week actually - renewed to an entity that had ceased renewing their ABN/ACN. Awkward process with the registrar though.

One elephant in the room:

The most ubiquitous and unblockable form of VPN is international cellular roaming. (While roaming, all traffic is tunneled back to the home carrier and blends in with their traffic.)

Of course, it's the most tedious VPN. It's also the most expensive. But what subset of traffic actually needs to go over the VPN? Like authentication and bot detection, these types of checks tend to be too expensive to perform on every request to every service endpoint.
People rather believe their side than reality.

Delta seems very contagious amongst the Astra Zeneca vaccinated. Those viral loads seem pretty darn high for vaccinated people.

Vaccine entry mandates don't seem to make as much sense as masks for everyone who hasn't gotten it yet, vaccines for those who want them, and COVID cards for those who have caught the virus. The people who recovered seem to be the most resistant to new strains. They don't need masks.

Masks the whole time in planes. Masks for small children too. N95 or KN95 or triple layer cloth.

That seems to be what the science says if you want to maximize saved lives? Figuring out best course seems much harder with economic and social costs.

There is a bit of a programmer trope "its easier to write code than to read it". This leads to reinventing wheels, duplicated effort, etc. When it comes to open source, I take the position that we are all in it together and try to come up with fixes for problems that I see in existing projects, even if I've never used the language before or the codebase is messy. I also think being able to work on code that came before you is a useful skill to have.

Apologies.
I wouldn't bother replying due to your submission history, but I will. The city was not "almost destroyed" in 2019. There were months-long protests with hundreds of thousands of people, and they only became violent after the government saw the need to repress violently instead of negotiating. Remember the Yuen Long attacks? The triads brought from Shenzhen? Legislators all in white saluting the gangs before they attacked people who were not armed? That's what caused the violence.

The Hong Kong government isn't doing anything. It's all the CPG.
For a lot of the world, they will not be able to say ‘no’ to a Facebook App Store. That’s the attack vector. Selling an ad-model based FB app on the FB App Store might have more reach than simply targeting iOS users.

> Average market growth is higher than the average inflation per year. I trust that investing in the market and holding a percent of your portfolio in Treasury bonds will give you a very good chance of growing or maintaining your savings against inflation and market variance.

There are several problems with this analysis;

1) You're making a 50+ year forecast (depending on your age) based on a 100 year data, a prediction ultimately not based on first principles.

2) Ultimately average inflation doesn't matter; the specific things you'll need to buy matter. You can enjoy the lowest CPIs in the world and still get shortchanged if you need to buy a house in the Bay Area at the end of a boom.

3) Lifetime averages might look good, but not all years of your life has the same wealth sensitivity; e.g you can postpone getting into a mortgage in your 30s but can't really postpone unexpected healthcare costs after 50s without lifespan altering consequences. The aim is not maximizing your returns until the day you die, it is to have enough when you need it throughout your life.

I'm not saying you're going to be necessarily wrong, but there is a risk of overemphasizing the predictive power of past performance and understating outlier events.

By the way, economies can fail in more than one way, e.g. markets can't really beat hyperinflation, which is a salient risk today depending on how covid shapes supply/demand curves, and in stagflation markets would suffer in addition to inflation, which is an outlier risk but a risk nonetheless. Sure, any of these would resolve in a decade, but during that decade you're going to be faced with purchasing decisions that you can't wait out, hence the melting of your ice cube.
Agree. Rising temperature is science. Caused by CO2 is theory. Agenda of fear that trying make everyone guilty is just like any other propaganda from history. Those catasrophic articles makes whole global warming alarm just worse. We need dialogue, not sensation.
Thank you for sharing that.

I think the dialog you describe would be familiar to other people from their own thoughts.
Going back to find the references, I see I got both key numbers wrong. Thanks for challenging me on it.

2017-2018 saw an estimated 710,000 hospitalizations, the worst year on record.

CDC Flu: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.ht...

The COVID numbers I cited are weekly reported cases, not hospitalizations. I added a retraction message above.

The total US deaths reported by CDC today are 616,459 over an 18 month period, which is more than 100 times the fatality-rate of flu in both the years you cite.

CDC COVID: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrends...

The vaccine uptake means we should not see the awful rates of early 2021 again. We should focus on getting more vaccine uptake rather than mask debates.

> For now, our lifespans are pathetically short.

If you count healthy years I agree, sometimes it's too little for certain people. But in general 90 years seems like more than enough to me, what would you want to accomplish you couldn't in the 70 years form your 20s to your 90s? People peak quite early. Also seeing your values, beliefs and lifestyles being ridiculed by the new generations isn't that much fun...who knows how people 80 years from now will view our generation that messed up the climate (and countless other things we do now that we think are normal but are really not). Probably how we now see slave owners.

It's mostly about our fear of dying, I'm sure when the average life span becomes 120 or 200 everyone will yell it's too damn short. If you're scared of dying your'e scared of dying, in fact the more you fight it with treatments probably the more scared you become.
It's an online collaborative simple document editor/space where you can embed live web stuff into these virtual "pages" and hyperlink between them. It came out of Dropbox' acquisition of Hackpad (which itself was based on open-source Etherpad). Funnily enough, Google bought Etherpad and then I suspect that's what they used to create the revolutionary Google Wave in 2009, which of course they killed off years later (just to recently launch Smart Canvas or whatever it's called which is reminiscent of Wave). It's a cool product though, and I still (disclaimer: an ex-Dropboxer) use Dropbox Paper for lots of stuff (especially long form writing and research).
I quoted the USD value to aid people in understanding the enormity of the purchase, not to suggest USD is a better repository of wealth.

(But I also happen to think USD is a better repository of wealth for reasons I'd be happy to discuss.)

> The 7 day moving average for new COVID hospital admissions is 89,977 today, and peaked at about 260K in a single week in January.

Self-reply: these are both wrong. I read the data badly.

On Flu

2017-2018 saw an estimated 710,000 hospitalizations, the worst year on record.

On COVID, these are the CDC numbers for new cases, not hospitalizations.

I dunno how I got this wrong. I give the citations below, along with additional data on the relative death rates of flu and COVID.
Let S = smart contract writer's code intent - smart contract compiled code meaning. If S is legally meaningful it's all over for smart contracts. There's no way to prove the contract writer's intent, the compiler itself can have problems causing divergence, and it's not even possible to prove if the idea in the writer's mind can be captured by code. You could even come up with a sort of halting problem smart contract that's both fraudulent and not at the same time.
If they were smart they would use their customer market as a loss lead. Years ago I'd use Dropbox for work because it was so easy to make a new folder and add some emails to it. Now a lot of people don't even have the client installed.
An interesting idea is that if there's so many species historically, there must be a biological mechanism that helps make that possible.

Something even more fundamental than natural selection.
Does this mean Apple will be forced to allow third-party Xcode extensions? When they released their "extensions" they disabled all third-party extensions that everyone was already using.

I say "extensions" because source editor extensions are really just macros with a menu item to run them.
You do realize, both sides are claiming the other is trying to overthrow the government, right?

Both have, in my view, reasonable arguments on why they feel that way.

Try to zoom out and look at your comment from the 3rd person view. The right believes the left stole an election (coup), they believe they have evidence to prove it. The left saw Jan 6 on the corporate news and believes they have the evidence to prove Trump attempted to seize government.

Note, none of the people charged for Jan 6 was for sedition. So the evidence really isn't there either.

If you take a step back and try to see both perspectives, perhaps it's possible to relate again.
1) FCC regulates mostly broadcast technologies, not the stock market (SEC?).

2) The amount of morale hazard we have allowed to build up since the great financial crisis is astronomical. No one has been held to account for that mess and the Too Big To Fail mindset has become deeply entrenched. The fact that no one backstops crypto is one of it's biggest features, we cannot continue to play the world's biggest janitor when the system breaks down, and regulation is not preventing these things.

3) Visa, Mastercard and other operators of the worlds biggest payment networks are expanding to crypto. They definitely have a perspective on scale and are embracing this 'experiment'.

> Global warming is about average temperature increases. Individual one-off high temperatures only gives ammunition to climate deniers when they see a record low temperature somewhere in the world.

That is why it got rebranded to climate change. Yes, it is about the global average temperature, but that is too abstract for people to understand, and exactly gets discussed when "they see a record low temperature somewhere in the world."

> Individual one-off high temperatures only gives ammunition to climate deniers when they see a record low temperature somewhere in the world.

Everything and anything gives climate change deniers ammunition. I think, it doesn't make sense to try to placate people, which are essentially inaccessible to decades of scientific reports, and more and more news like this one. No need to self-censure here.

> It does more harm than good to raise the climate change alarm for these events, and requires some statistical gymnastics to conclusively tie it to global warming

You do not have to conclusively tie individual events to global warming. The point here is, that those news come in more and more often. It is something people directly experience. And that is very much a real alarm.
yikes! this is the first I'm reading that Pfizer seems (statistically) significantly inferior to Moderna in efficacy against Delta. seems Moderna has 60% better protection against infection, and 2x better against hospitalization (though ICU admission and deaths are at par between them.)

having gotten Pfizer, I'm getting a little nervous.
