You have it totally backwards. Public keys are called public keys because they are intended to be public. You should be able to freely advertise a public key on a billboard.

On the other hand, you can't really expect the average citizen to properly curate a private key, and a private key also doesn't work for verification purposes.

I think the problem would be easily solved without encryption or keys by using the social security number in combination with a user-selected PIN number.

Any time you apply for credit somewhere, you should have to provide the social and a PIN. There should also be an easy way to generate single-use PIN numbers that can be used when applying for credit.

They already have a lot of the infrastructure for doing this. You can already put a credit freeze on your social security number and protect the credit freeze with a PIN, for example.

Whenever I am applying for credit, I simply "thaw" out my social security number for a couple of days. This works pretty well, but it's a hassle because you have to do it for all three agencies. It also suffers from the problem that my credit could get compromised if I left it thawed out too long.

However I was probably wrong in saying most historians disagree, it seems there is still significant debate https://www.historyextra.com/period/second-world-war/atomic-...
Herd immunity happens long before we are all infected. Less than 40% of the US population is completely unvaccinated, which means we can open up more without overwhelming hospitals. That does put the unvaccinated at increased risks, but the general public is seemingly unwilling to continue lockdowns to protect people choosing not to be vaccinated.

If ~85% is needed for herd immunity then we could be rapidly approaching that point. Though specific locations would likely have outbreaks even if it was less of a concern nationally.
The likely scenario is that it turns into cold/flu.

Everyone either gets the vaccine or the virus and we are all mostly immune. It mutates a little and once it mutates just enough to spread substantially everyone who gets it gets immune. Only a fraction of the population will get any particular mutation.

I remember having the debate that herd immunity has never happened without a vaccine. Which is just BS. Every disease throughout history has eventually reached equilibrium with humans which is essentially herd immunity.

Most mutations are point mutations. Once enough point mutations accumulate that give the virus superior ability to spread, it will. It is unlikely that any point mutation will suddenly make the virus orders of magnitude more deadly.

I recently wrote a little Regex domain specific language that's translated into regular JavaScript regex. I was inspired by CCGrep: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.05615 because its syntax looked so clean and yet powerful.

Examples of it look like `$# ($a == $1) { return $$$; }`
$# - match any keyword, eg `do`, `while`, etc.
$a - match any variable.
$1 - match any literal.
$$$ - match any block (greedy).

It's also whitespace invariant, so `if($a==$1)` is equivalent to `if ($a == $1)`.

All that to say, I wonder if we're missing out on a variety of "domain specific regexes" for various fields.

Would you be able to invest? I'm trying to work through the thought experiment.

Suppose we've reached a point where the population has stabilized and all natural resources were being used at the sustainable rate. What production would you be able to buy? Would the current owners sell it to you? Would you be able to accumulate enough capital to induce them to sell?

Obviously the definition of capitalism doesn't include "perpetual growth", but it does seem like a reasonable extrapolation about the world. At the time capitalism was defined, indefinite growth was realistic, and easy to assume axiomatically. I'm not sure what capitalism looks like if that assumption fails.

I'm also not sure what it looks like for that assumption to fail, since "production" also includes creativity which isn't limited by natural resources. You can always invest in new books, video games, etc which are effectively unlimited.
Or even if it's most of the rows. The optimizer will determine a cost which includes data distribution, and the cumulative cost of an index scan + table seeks could still exceed just the cost of a table scan.
There are some confounding factors to that though, I think? Infectivity post mortem (as seen with plague) and time lag between infectivity and symptoms appearing allowing for longer periods of asymptomatic transmission. Both variables that mean the spread of a mutation and it's lethality need not be linked.
It can be a "good" for the child, while still being exploitative. Take care of the exploitation, and don't destroy the "good" parts. I don't think it's an entirely binary situation.

You’re definitely undervaluing the raw video encoding, transmission and delivery framework YouTube brings to bear there. Sure, you made a video.

All likely to be infected, I certainly believe.

But I've been operating under the assumption that while vaccination won't prevent you from infection, it is still highly effective (90%+) at reducing symptoms, even with Delta. I'm certainly open to learning if this is false, however. I've just seen statistics that over 95% of people hospitalized are unvaccinated.
The issue is that its not 2005 anymore. An organic blog that doesn't play the SEO game will just be buried by the millions of junk websites that play that game, and won't get traction like they did in the era where searching for a topic on the internet brought up relevent nonspam results.

The relevant quote about Steve Jobs signing off on an iOS sideloading-related prompt, from a 2008-era email:

> Just two months after declaring that “the App Store is going to be the exclusive way to distribute iPhone applications,” iOS chief Scott Forstall asked which of these two templates Jobs preferred: “The application ‘Monkey Ball’ from the developer ‘Sega’ did not come from the App Store. Do you want to open it?” or “Are you sure you want to open the application ‘Monkey Ball’ from the developer ‘Sega’?” Jobs picked the latter.

Interestingly, about 4 years later, a very similar string ended up being used in Mac OS Lion with the release of Gatekeeper.
> As for diet, here are some simple rules than I find improve physical capability and promote healthy weight: 1) drink water 2) quit sugar/sweeteners 3) eat when hungry, not for emotional reasons 4) more cooked green vegetables and fish. In my personal experience, rebalancing psychological relationships with sugar/sweetness and chewing/swallowing is much more effective than counting calories.

I agree with you. All I'm saying is if you're going to follow simple rules like e.g. eat more cooked vegetables, I think skipping or really limiting oils is a good rule too as it's about the most calorific food stuff you can eat and easy to overdo. You could easily eat 200 calories of oil in a salad without really thinking, but not 200 calories of carrot.

I do think most people would benefit from counting calories for at least some part of their life though. I've known friends and family that have been trying to lose weight for years where they couldn't even guess how many calories they eat or roughly what has more calories than what e.g. they'll say a big sandwich is 200 calories, a whole pizza is 400 calories and a bar of chocolate is 100 calories. You don't need to count everything but I don't see how you can ignore calorie counts completely or at least be aware where the big wins are.

Your simple rules have some of this knowledge encoded inside them even if you're not technically counting calories e.g. water has less calories than soft drinks and fruit juice. Same with "eat whole foods". I assume your "green vegetables" rule is encoding something about avoiding potatoes too, not that non-green is somehow bad by itself?

More anecdotes but I've never seen the problem with sweeteners. I wish they weren't demonised by some people who then use sugar with x10 the calories instead.
Wow! That's for real, they've done some already it looks like.

The problem is, grades are everything in school. I just finished a high stakes algorithms class where 75% of our grade was exams with only a few questions. A decent chunk of the class has to retake the class each semester, so it's important to do as well on the exams as possible. At a certain point, it's not only about learning the material but practicing exam-type questions over and over.

So I googled "the social life of flies" and found:

https://phys.org/news/2018-03-social-life-humble-fruit-revol...

Humans aren't the only species with a well-developed drinking culture. The social life of the humble fruit fly also revolves around alcohol.

Their favorite food, rotting fruit, ferments into a beer-strength quaff. Courtship often involves swarming boozy locales and getting frisky after imbibing. Flies also use alcohol as a palliative, taking to drink after repeated sexual rejection. And like humans, flies develop "drinking problems."

I can't put a finger on who's responsible, the users community as a whole or how it is built/promoted, but the end result is having too much noise and not enough signal.

> The author fails to mention the risk of children spreading Covid to everyone else

Probably because "everyone else" has had access to vaccines for months, and is not entitled to have children's educations and lives wrecked in order to reduce the spread of an endemic respiratory virus. This is basically Denmark's position at this point: https://www.thelocal.dk/20210804/why-rising-covid-infections...

> seems to think that a few dead children ... is fine as long as the rest keep up with the arbitrary academic progress schedule

Hundreds of children have died every year during influenza season for our entire lives. The death rate from Covid is not appreciably worse. Did you not advocate for masking or school shutdowns in prior years because you just didn't care about those dead kids?
We didn’t have a lot when I was a kid so I didn’t understand this when I was suddenly making more than my dad. We ran up huge debts and it took a couple years of hard work and heavy discipline to pay it all off, then a couple more to be anywhere where we thought the money should make us feel like.

Those images of rock stars and athletes are fundamentally exploitative. The odds you will continue to make that kind of money going forward are tiny. The odds that you can re-make that kind of money without having to compromise your ideals are virtually nonexistent. Anyone who encourages you to spend it is not your friend.

You were lucky enough to get it the first time, if you blow it there might not be a next time. And I think in many cases the people who struggle their whole lives never learned that, which why they are down instead of OK. Get a little money it goes to steak or AC or a pool, or something else with additional lifetime costs. It would never go into preventative maintenance that actually saves you money later on.
On Twitch it's also $100.
Very good proposition.
This can happen next to old mines, waste rock piles especially. Not so much that the CO2 kills you, but it displaces the oxygen. You enter an oxygen deficient environment. Suffocation can happen almost instantly.
Similar to confined spaces.
However with weather changes, lets say a low pressure system moving in, the CO2 exhales from the surrounding porous rock. You starve for oxygen, almost immediately. And even the oxygen in your body gets sucked out.
It has happened before, it took a long time for coroner's to figure out. Mine rescue personnel even get killed, thinking they can hold their breath.
Have often wondered why this is isn't presented more to the public, so they can be warned. Avoid hollows, low spots, etc, especially in old mining country. (The reactions in the rock use up the oxygen pricing CO2 - But that's a longer discussion...)
I'm bearish on cryptocurrencies as lacking legitimate use cases, but metered services and honest subscriptions appears to be a pretty appealing one when card networks have policies like these. Volatility is a big issue, but using cryptocurrency for subscriptions could create more stable longer term demand characteristics where the subscription fee gets indexed to a cost at the time of purchase, with the small matter of who influences that index as it becomes a defacto peg. Card network policies just aren't something I think can be repaired.
Ditto for learning the violin. (In this case, you learn Lua.)
> Wouldn't the engine be able to use the index to find just the correct rows and then only do the total on those?

Yeah, the explanation doesn't really make sense in general, though computing anything might be sufficient to throw off mysql's query optimiser.
> An algorithm will aim to make you look similar to what other people like you look like. It will not push boundaries or riff on creative 'happy accidents' because it can't.

An algorithm can aim to push boundaries and riff on creative 'happy accidents' in ways that people like you like. It's not even that explicit with typical supervised learning/recommenders. It will find things people like you like, whether that means pushing boundaries in ways those people like or just making you look like they like.

I feel the same as you do about ML being in too many places too confidently, but you're assuming a lot about the kinds of algorithms used.

I find the phrasing interesting. This is in the title and in the article itself in similar form, but:

Starlink near-misses with other spacecraft are getting 'out of control'

By the phrasing the blame is laid on Starlink, which may be the reality but collecting the numbers alone don't justify that implication, which is most of what this article provides.

As someone else pointed out, Starlink's presence in LEO has more than doubled the number of satellites so it kind of makes sense that there'd be a corresponding increase in the number of incidents, and just by the odds that Starlink would be involved in around half of them. The other claim in the article, that when Starlink's ~12k satellites are in orbit they'll be involved in 90% of these incidents also make sense. They'd make up about 90% of satellites in LEO using the present numbers.

If half the cars on the road are Fords and half the accidents reported involve Fords that doesn't mean Ford cars or drivers are somehow worse than the rest, it actually means they're average. It'd be more interesting if the number of incidents leaned toward Starlink for something other than just conventional probability calculations, that is they accounted for a larger-than-expected share of incidents.

Two stats provided, for Starlink and OneWeb. Starlink has 1700 satellites and 500 incidents/week. OneWeb has 250 satellites and 80 incidents/week. Starlink has 6.8x as many satellites. Again, by the numbers with what's reported here Starlink is no worse than other actors in this space. OneWeb has about a 32% incident rate (incidents/satellites) while Starlink has 29%. By these numbers they're actually slightly better than OneWeb here.

"One Midwest-based employee said she had started working for Stitch Fix on top of her full-time day job..."

...and that is why the current levels of remote work aren't going to completely stick. I work remotely, but I also am not a "permanent" employee, so the fact that I can work for more than one company at a time is fine, because they haven't hired me as an employee. Most companies are not looking for that, or if they are it's a consultant/contractor, not an employee with benefits. If you're working for more than one company at a time, you're not an "employee", rather those companies are your customers. It's a different relationship. If you want that flexibility, you'll probably have to give up the (alleged) security that goes with being an employee, and just work as a consultant or contractor.
I'm not sure that reasoning would apply to something like payment processing.

It absolutely makes sense when you are manufacturing a physical good. No point in designing a thing that you might not be able to sell for very long, particularly when you're dealing with something like automobiles. Plus honestly, which car buyer wants less miles per gallon?

Payment processing though is rather different. You can do it today and make some money, and tomorrow you can stop. It's obviously not quite so agile, but the point roughly holds. Unless Visa and Mastercard require years of payments from OF to pay for their costs of starting to do business with OF... there's no real point to not doing this now. They can stop later if needed without a real problem.
