>As an employer I would prefer employees not to use the corporate network for personal email. The network exists for business use.

And as an employee that actually exists in 2021, I'd tell you to get a clue.

>As an employee I prefer not to use the corporate network for truly personal email.

And that's your preference. If you think everyone shares that preference or even realizes the implications you're delusional.

>If I am the employer that responsibly monitors the traffic to and from our network, including TLS traffic, an employee that uses our network for personal use with a surveillance "tech" company service such as Google Mail, Facebook, etc. is putting her own privacy at risk.

No, you're putting them at risk by MITMing their traffic. There's absolutely nothing that forces you to do that. If you don't have separation between the network where humans live, and where The Business lives, that's what's irresponsible.
That's exactly how it works. If you buy a house for $500k and have a $300k mortgage do you say the house is only worth $200k?

Sure I can. I’m doing it right now. Of course, analogies are imperfect, but they make good teaching and argumentative tools.

> You don't get to be "popular" for free.

Fortunately for society, the law disagrees with you. (Also, your way has been tried in the past, and was not especially popular - to the point of revolution in certain Eastern European countries in the 1960s-1980s.)

As a dog food lover (product dev, not Purina), I found this very insightful. I may frame it on my wall.
There's nothing modern about Go.
One interesting theory I've heard on this is that, given there are about 6400 accounts with 1000+ ETH, that these folks essentially don't recognize the amount of money they're using to buy this stuff. In other words, it's like casino chips and that may be altering the way they view the purchases.

Obviously no way to really know, but I do find it amazing (and very suspect) that Openseas went from $8m a month to $2.3b a month - that's a pretty heady number. It does make me suspect either wash trading or other activities going on.
From a financial standpoint, I definitely agree. On the other hand, that perspective can easily become a crutch especially if it is normalized. There's also the risk of creating more generations of even less capable adults than the ones whom already exist. Some already self-aware individuals could make proper use of their parent's abode into early adulthood, but there's also others who to some extent actually need life to give them at least a small kick in the pants so they wake up and get their shit together. People say that remote work isn't for everyone, thus we shouldn't also pretend like "just live at home, bruh" is the right thing for the vast majority.

> The book Factfulness makes a pretty good case that people generally think the world is falling apart but that objectively the world is currently in better shape than any other period of history.

The book, Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler also makes the same point about how focusing on the negative can obscure the good that is happening in the world.

It would be interesting to see how the numbers compare this year.
I've worked in a hospital setting, and one of the things that struck me was just how much you don't see on the news. The news is aggregating over a wider area, so to speak, so I do think it provides an amplified experience in an important sense, but there's also a lot that doesn't ever make it into the news to begin with.
Fun fact, that problem is NOT NP-complete. It's a finite-sized instance of a class of NP-complete problems. It can be solved in constant time.

That said... holy smokes that is an awful problem.
Not related and absolutely off topic. Please vote down. Corporations are crappy at everything that isn't related to returning profits and always being in the way of sanity.

It's a fantasy many have, yes. It's an almost desperate yearning for some.

There's a lot of overlap with the survivalist/militia types. These people "plan" (such as their limited, stunted mental faculties permit) for apocalyptic scenarios and the destruction of our government. Many even view themselves in the role of a redeemer--they'll form the nucleus of the new society that will develop. And so on. There's just a whole strain of lunacy in this area.

It takes a certain amount of hubris to think that because you and your friends left Facebook that this constitutes a “revolt.”

we have manufactured a housing crisis

I agree there's a housing crisis, not sure how we arrived at one, "manufactured" or whatever.

Just one data point, personal.

As a young professional I bought a fairly new house in the Portland Oregon suburbs in the 1980s for about 2x my salary.

Today my daughter, a young professional, would have to pay closer to 8x her salary (if you believe Zillow) to buy that very same "starter" house, which is now 35 years older.

Rents have commensurately increased. To quote Jimmy McMillan: "the rent is too damn high".
Not by today's standards. Typical messaging services with teenagers were utterly filled with what we'd now call 4chanish or spouting hate or cyberbullying. That culture isn't really compatible with prim and proper normal parents and other parent-like people that are now on the internet and throwing their weight around.
It's censorship, and more specifically it's corporate censorship. When it comes to ranking a feed, you have more of an argument, but blocking direct and supposedly "private" messages on the basis of their content is censorship.
Good enough for me, but the difference isn’t huge.
They can't, because it's not.

It would be great if it did, but we’ve made great strides in a lot of non-solid tumors. They are much more targetable, it is easier to get a small molecule to the problem cells.

It is not theoretical advantage, France in practice decarbonised an industrial economy in 10 years, with no outages etc. Worth trying to replicate I think.

South Korea can build nuclear plants in practice, on time and on budget.

One of the reasons they can do it is that they dont build First Of A Kind plants (as is in the topic article), and focus on repearing same design with same people
People have usually lived with/near their extended families for most of their lives for thousands of years, and currently in most cultures. It isn't a proof or cause of mental illness.

It's a failure of reproduction of the middle class, though. When you're born rich, it's easy to die rich (without being adventurously stupid), when you're born poor, it's effortless to die poor. The middle-class is the class that has to rebuild every generation. We've allowed so much corruption and rent-seeking that it's not happening anymore.

Totally agreed. I don't believe people are born predestined to become addicts; they may or may not have inherited a propensity for it, but circumstances are generally what pushes someone push over the edge into full blown addiction.

Viewing addiction as a moral failing rather than a maladaptive coping mechanism for a miserable existence and/or untreated mental illness is holding progress back.

Congrats on the traction! Took a look at the stream and seems like a ton of engagement.

I watched a few minutes (~5) but can’t say I observed any scientific content or signs of a teaching curriculum. What would someone have learned after watching your live stream?

I’m a bit concerned that while fun, the content is closer to Twitch than Khan Academy—-is this just a science-themed gaming stream? Or will viewers learn a science curriculum?

This is a respectable strategy, but in a more prosperous society we would expect people to be able to have stuff and establish themselves as adults early.

We live in an age of literal miracles. Thinking rocks, floating metal, what amounts to telepathy, machines roaming the countryside that dwarf giants, bodies being reshaped and redrawn, pandemics being fought back after a year or two. There really need to be some hard questions asked about why exactly a kid can't expect to move in to their own a home at 20.

I'm not saying there are easy answers. Maybe the world is just so complicated that a normal 20 year old can't make a meaningful contribution any more. But it is worth at least talking form time to time about why it is so hard to for young people to be independent. What exactly is the deal they are being offered here?
"Manufactured" as in "this is a problem we created through bad policy".

It is far harder to build new housing in the US than it used to be, which drives up prices for existing homes, which benefits the local homeowners (voters!) at the expense of everyone else.
What exactly is your argument that this isn’t censorship? They’re providing a private chat platform and preventing certain messages from being sent. As far as I can tell this is the exact definition of censorship.

Parent is referring to total enterprise value, which is the right way to compare the value of businesses with different amounts of leverage.

Imagine if you bought a restaurant for $100 cash, and I bought an identical restaurant with $50 cash and $50 of debt against the business. Both restaurants are worth $100.
One-to-one messaging is not "amplification". Without Facebook's network effects, they would probably be using a different messenger, so you can't even claim that Facebook is enabling a communication that would otherwise not take place.

And the fact that it's not unexpected doesn't make it not censorship, or not worth pointing out.
Are there any marketplaces for apps. I have a few.
Its the US. Lots of parents have mental health issues. Nothing good happens to kids who stick around in unhealthy environments. Which is to say the path that works depends a lot on the type of people you are around.
The article explains that these publications contained non-pornographic information as well, and it’s this history that’s being suppressed as a collateral effect.
If we are being technical (and I must assume that we are given that you are making a technical critique), then everything you are claiming is wrong.

1. The phrase “an NP Hard problem” refers to the computational complexity of a problem as the “scale” of the problem goes to infinity. Typically, an author would detail the problem, and what parameters go to infinity, but in this case the general problem “The subset sum problem (SSP)” is well known so explaining details is not necessary.

2. The homework question has two parts. The second part asks “(assume a solution exists) is the solution unique?” Clearly this decision problem reduces to SSP and is NP Hard
The AZSPCS Sums of Powers problem was similar [0]. I found the optimizations surprisingly convoluted for how little of a speed up they provide. Writing an efficient backtracking, depth-first search was fun though.

Partly because dorms will kick you out over longer breaks (winter and summer) and will expect you to leave for shorter breaks (thanksgiving, if you’re somewhere with a weeklong break and spring break).

Over winter break I had to turn in my room key to the desk and my access card was deactivated. Those who paid to stay thru winter had to move to a specified dorm.

So yeah, you still have to depend on someone else for housing while in the dorms, at least how I experienced it.

No I have the same. It’s regular priced plan, discounted by half for everyone in the building for the first two years. There are no ways in the contract to raise the price before that.
> The pretext for invading was that the Taliban were in power and were hiding Osama Bin Laden.

The pretext for waging war on the Taliban, who had the upper hand in th ongoing civil war, was that they existed and were harboring Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders, sure.

It wasn't that a stable government of Afghanistan existed and the Taliban were, or were part of, it.

> They can't be hiding Osama Bin Laden if they aren't in control of the country.

People shelter fugitives without being a stable government all the time. They generally are limited in their ability to do so if a stable effective government exists and opposes them, but that one faction is not a stavle government does not suggest that anyone else is.
Who would respond to this ad? No viable company would hire a moron to write job descriptions.
It does not, and any discussion of whether certain public health measures should've been implemented should take that into consideration. Toronto-area hospitals were literally sending ICU patients to smaller cities because their own wards were overflowing. Moreover, attrition rates among clinicians (nurses especially) has been atrocious over the past year or so. People are only willing to put up with so much shit for so long, and most provincial systems have zero slack at the moment.

That said, measures like GP described were/are in play in many cities. Seniors time was a fixture in the first few months of the pandemic, especially in smaller areas that did not experience a large caseload.

That's another point too: I think a lot of HN commenters are unaware of just how fragmented and regional the Canadian healthcare system is. No two provinces implemented the same restrictions or policies at the same time, and only a couple put in strict stay-at-home style lockdowns. Note how the article mentions large increases in both Ontario (lax policies, then sudden strict lockdowns) with Alberta (very few restrictions). Even in Ontario, walking outside the biggest few cities would result in an immediate drop of most of the strict measures present in, say, the GTA. I know it's hard to capture this nuance discussing with strangers on some random online forum, but it's essential if we are to properly discuss cause and effect.

Opensea charges a 2.5% fee on every purchase, so wash trading would be relatively expensive (but not impossible).
I'd search for an archive link but I'm lazy. Which is why I also hate grass.

From what I could read of the article they're basically talking about killing their grass and putting down something else. I'd sooner have a ground covered with mint than with grass. So here's how you do it:

1) cover your lawn with cardboard,

2) put some soil on the cardboard,

3) sprinkle the seeds of what you want to grow on the soil.

Programs written in memory-unsafe languages are riddled with RCE vulns. This is true even for software written by companies that hire the very best security engineers in the world. The consequences of such software that processes untrusted input is more than mere annoyance. This sort of behavior is the root of RATs operated by both criminals and oppressive states. It does not matter if your program is intended for something as seemingly non-critical as text messaging - it will still be used to cause terrible harm.

I do not think that the lock is a reasonable comparison here, because exploitation of software scales so so so much more effectively than picking locks. One exploit easily scales to millions of devices. So the harm caused by vulnerable software has a much higher ceiling than the harm caused by a weak lock.
I don’t know if you know the answer to this but one thing that I have noticed in any personal research into cancer therapy trials is that it seems that many organizations are looking for single drug treatments, potentially to the exclusion of including other drugs in trials.

Anyone that has been through chemo knows that this is not where it ends up most of time, but it really seems like companies are trying to push monotherapies as much as possible.

For example, antiangiogenic drugs that help reduce the vascularization of tumors would seem to be a perfect complement to this, but if you look at the phase 1 trial there were no other drugs included in the study. I can certainly understand why it makes sense to focus on the effects of a single pharmaceutical, but in order to blend doses they’re going to have to go back to a trial most likely to see the effects of the compound treatment. This takes time that many people don’t have.

Ditto. They're the only ISP I've used that's automatically LOWERED their price at several times in the past, in response to certain developments (including the courts ruling in their favour about fees paid to the upstream ISP).

Plus, none of their sales tactics are as slimy as RoBellCos.

Hopefully one day they can offer a fibre option. But until then, they'll continue to be my ISP of choice.
I totally agree that we've manufactured a housing crisis, but having driven around in the rural midwest, the US is obviously less wealthy than it used to be. There are abandoned structures littering the country in what used to be thriving towns.

We have on average gotten more wealthy, but the p50 and p20 brackets definitely are worse off than in past generations and worse off than in comparable post-industrial economies.
