For something like coke smuggling you just need to know its on the way, get ready. So the OTP could be something as lame as "if you get a phone call from some rando who says 'Taste the Feeling'" then the next boat is full of coke, or if not, then the next boat is not full of coke". Actually terrible idea as taste the feeling was a coke company slogan a couple years back, but you get the general idea.

Under capitalism, a thing's cost to manufacture has nothing to do with the price of that something.

Read that again and work through your objections. Ideally something's price is higher than its cost so the company can make a profit, but there are so many obvious exceptions that its nice, but not necessary. Thus, who cares how much the pill coming down line costs to manufacture, unless you start hacking into the free market and set price controls, and say that pharmaceutical companies are only allowed to make 20% profit (or however much), Martin Shrekili's play, of buying pharmacutical companies and simply raising prices of drugs, is a legal move under capitalism,
no matter how reprehensible that move may be.
I can only speak to my individual experiences and my admittedly fuzzy memory of things so long ago, but here goes:

"By 3rd or 4th grade, wouldn't you have interacted with a library's card catalog"

In that school's library, they had just replaced the old card catalog with a computer terminal based dewy decimal system a few years before I started. Looking at screenshots today, I'm fairly certain it was Dynix[1]. It was the early nineties, and a pretty big deal they had a computer in the school at all. In those years, the librarian was the only one trained to use the terminal, so you simply told her what you were looking for and she helped you find it. Maybe some of the older kids were taught how to use the computer, but there was serious resistance to letting us sticky handed younger kids touch it. I'm sure I had visited the local public library as well by that age, but again, I probably got assistance from parents or librarians to find things until I got older.

"or say, how your family's cassettes or cds were stored for retrieval?"

My father might have had a few audio cassettes, but VHS tapes were all I really interacted with before grade 5. A few of my family friends had walls of VHS laden bookcases in their living room, but we were not that family. The VHS tapes were bulky, but you could record over old things you had already watched so you didn’t need a lot of them. Our system of organization was more akin to shoving them all in the largest drawer in the living room. If anything, my family’s approach to media storage would have encouraged the “all in one bucket” approach that so many of the students in the article seem to favor.

How does the cost of a drug change based on who is consuming it? That's like saying the cost of a loaf of bread changes based on who is buying it.

The price you charge for the bread might change, but the cost is the same regardless of who is purchasing it. There's a difference between varying costs of an item based on accounting methods, versus varying costs of an item due to who is buying it. There seems to be huge disconnect here between people working in healthcare, and pretty much everyone else.
The same goes for pharmacies. Walmart advertises $4 generics. If your insurance has a $25 drug co-pay, then they will charge you the full $25.
Here is their Reddit response: https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/ptbf7e/brave...

In a nutshell, enabling Rewards is their incentive for giving the product away for free, otherwise they charge via Premium.
Good point, Brave's responsibility as a for-profit enterprise is to attempt to go full Paperclip Game and grow to consume the entire universe.

More seriously, I don't think for-profit/non-profit really matters here. Mozilla's reasoning was pretty clear (for better or worse) that they saw these adjacent services as helping to break into the lock-in of Apple/Google/MS who used either their own browser-adjacent services to push their own browsers, or to provide privacy-respecting versions of services (in an attempt to displace, say, Zoom).
I'm not advocating for or against GS here, but wouldn't an investment bank with no skin in the game be a bit more trustworthy? If there's no money on the line, there's no incentive/pressure to conform their analyses to their lines of business.
This is true, but unless you are at Google or a similarly vigilant company it doesn't have to be a deal breaker.

First, don't hobby in the same space as your employer. Then, hack on the project a little bit, and send your manager and director an email. Explain how it's invigorated you and given you a testing ground for technologies that you will be using to achieve $mission at work. Ask for the company's blessing to work on the project in spare hours on your own equipment.

In most cases, you'll get an encouraging response. Reply and say thanks and ask for help getting clearance from Legal and/or a VP or higher.

I did this myself building Cronitor.
Asking why they leave is risky. You might learn things you don't want to learn.
I think the distinction you're trying to make means zilch, 1. this is the normal login flow for these users, 2. this tech provides zero protection from phishing attacks, 3. an extension does provide protection from phishing attacks by automatically comparing the saved domain vs the page's domain byte-for-byte on every visit and not suggesting a login if the actual domain doesn't match, 4. humans have empirically proven that they cannot do 3 reliably. There is a first hand experience of this fact in this very thread: "The only time I nearly lost an account to phishing it was because I manually copy-pasted my credentials.".

"choosing to attempt to login" is just bare-faced whitewashing in order to blame the user for falling prey to a phishing attack and deny that this is a problem that password managers should solve.
Canada has unofficially banned the sale of theirdevices, or at least that’s why eBay said the Canadian government told them to not allow their sale.

Though eBay.ca just blocked any listing containing the word “xiaomi”, though they make a ton of things that aren’t phones. I just took out xiaomi and left the model number and sold my thing.

Still waiting for my government to respond to my request to find out why.
They don't need to do a traditional ICO to grift.

In order to join the network and start mining, you've got to buy $80 worth of gear from some company marked up to $600. That company then has to pay $40 to the Helium company in order for them to generate private keys that let your miner join the network and start making money.

Helium is just https://network.fon.com/ on a different frequency + a bunch of unneeded crypto bullshit that hides the grift.

Call me when I can stand up my helium miner based on open source hardware and software and make money using that.
I'm no doctor, but I am curious if any research has been conducted on whether this treatment would be beneficial for preventing AD in people in "at-risk" populations. Perhaps it could be used to stop the plaques from forming to begin with.

I could see this treatment being something like exercise and diet for type-2 diabetes. Exercise and diet may help prevent diabetes, but neither will "cure" the condition once the point-of-no-return has been crossed. In other words, you can turn a cucumber into a pickle, but you can't turn a pickle back into a cucumber.
At least in tech, most of the people I know who have stopped working recently are quitting because they don't feel like it anymore. We're all making plenty of money, enough to take time off, and the work sucks, especially when it's remote, so why keep doing it?
Anecdotally, I've seen 4 people leave for career advancement versus 1 that left due to wanting to be in the office.
I would argue that it is likely different type of pretence. Just watch some films about food and how many years of training it needs and so on.
You know what else mid-career employees tend to have?

Children.

Constantly changing return dates is stressful for parents; you can't buy/build/sell a house that fast. Especially if kids have now gotten to run around in the burbs in a nice detached house away from the Bay Area. If the key decision makers aligned return-to-office with the school year and said "we will not ask you to return until an August where The Vaccines are widely available for kids" then I think you'd have a lot less attrition in that group.

High oil prices are a good thing for the environment.
I found a similar website for a different university a few weeks ago and have been shocked by the same thing. Some of the people had total compensation listed at over $3 million which is a completely insane number if you're not from the US.

> "they get caught on very hostile things again and again"

This is not the case. The most common claims are "Brave accepted donations for others", "Brave replaces ads across the Web", "Brave injected/modified referral links"—each of these claims are unequivocally false.

You are right that Brave is an "ad based company," however. But that needs to be explained a bit, since Brave is unlike any other ad-based company you've likely encountered on the Web.

When people think of "ad-based company," they often picture something like Google. A company that has its hands in most of what you do on the Web, existing as a third-party resource in most of your traffic.

But compare Brave with Google for a moment. Brave's ad-model is consent based, while Google's is not. Brave's model follows the user's configuration for determining how often/whether ads should be shown, while Google does not. Brave's model pays the user 70% of the associated revenue, while Google does not. Brave collects [no user data], while Google does the opposite. The Brave model is built on consent, equity, and privacy. Google's model is the opposite, in every regard.
One of the earlier items posted on this investigation highlights what's an increasing concern of mine as regards the investigation: That the methods used are illegal in the US by virtue of the 4th Amendment protections on search and privacy:

FBI agents were not allowed to download or read any messages sent from AN0M accounts in the United States because of privacy laws. President of the NSW Council of Civil Liberties Pauline Wright said the US had "pretty strict protections around human rights and privacy" which Australia did not have. "It illustrates that Australia is an outlier in terms of protections for human rights and civil liberties," she said.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-15/no-one-in-america-arr... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27509550)

For all the devices sold and messages surveilled, "over 800" arrests occurred in 18 countries, the bulk in in Australia, though also Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jun/08/anom-...). 12,000 devices were issued (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-57394831).

That's a ratio of about 7% arrests --- which means that for every 15 persons whose every communication was monitored for a year and a half, sufficient evidence to make an arrest could not be found for 14 of them. And that the investigation would have included all of Xheir furXher conXacXs as well. Xhis in a world where six degrees separates any two people.

I'm not sure these 11,200 or so people are pure as the driven snow, but they did give up their privacy rights under a general warrant, but not under direct suspicion according o he reports I've seen. And he legality has been questioned:

https://www.necessarybehavior.com/blogs/news/operation-troja...

I suspect a fair argument could be made that the FBI exceeded its legal authority in this operation and that the operation itself was illegal.

That there have been no US arrests officially linked to the operaiton isn't a guarantee that none will occur, though those might well occur under "parallel construction" or similar pracXices, where inadmissable evidence is used as the pretext to obtain evidence that can stand in US courts. The very fact that the FBI were active participants in An0m / Operation Trojan Shield / Operation Ironside taints any investigations for years going forward.

The other tradecraft lessons are that:

- Only cryptographic methods secure enough to be of interest to criminals are sufficient for the rest of us.

- Whether a criminal or simply on watchlists for other reasons, those who need cryptography are best served where their use of it doesn't significantly highlight them from the rest of the population.

It's that second factor which both makes tools such as An0m so inherently risky to the privacy-conscious, and which explains the 30-year-long concerted an unyielding press by world governments to keep effective cryptography out of the general public's hands by preventing its being built into generally-used tools. Even strong crypto, if sufficently rarely used, becomes just another metadata point in identifying subjects of interest
If everyone knows it and it has been discussed extensively by everyone except me I'm just slow.

If this is news to everyone like me that CIA and Facebook and the fact checkers got caught lying then it is a big story and it probably should affect how fact checkers work and how much we trust them.
Where is your quote from? I cmd-f'd for "Rewards" and it doesn't turn up anywhere. Maybe the page has been edited?

Also, your same accusations are made in every single HN post involving Brave. If you would develop the discussion and actually bring forth a new idea, maybe by acknowledging the company's response to your claims and responding to that, rather than parroting the same thing over and over again, our discussion here would be more fresh and useful.

If you insist on rehashing the same argument, maybe you could at least bring your sources along each time as well.

Hey, just an idea from a guy tired of reading that Brave is hitler and DDG is just Bing, over and over and over.

Here is one article from them on the subject of referral codes: https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/
Yes, Mozilla is way better - the polar opposite really. Judge them on their record.

Your not liking a company that is giving them money and Brave's actual record of being endlessly slimy and untrustworthy.

Mozilla undermines Google at every chance so clearly the only result of Google money is what you see in Firefox and that is easily changable.
Can you link to any documentation/examples?
Probably not many, if any, of them understand the technology at any level deep enough to comprehend why it’s a dumb idea. 200k people getting caught up in an altcoin scam is hardly new.
There's certainly a lot of that. However, there are still people who really know what they're talking about, who aren't just repeating what they read elsewhere on the Web.
Very much this. The original discussions around Swift talked about the value of being explicit rather than implicit and reducing surface area (for instance, no ++/-- increment/decrement operators). That goal appears to have been completely lost recently.

> Dr. Thompson peered inside his perfect offspring to gain insight into its methods, but what he found inside was baffling. The plucky chip was utilizing only thirty-seven of its one hundred logic gates, and most of them were arranged in a curious collection of feedback loops. Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest — with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output — yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type.
Well as someone who lived in a trailer park for a few years, don't... Its not the neighbors, they are mostly fine, if generally lower income. But there _IS_ a large social stigma with living in a mobile home/trailer. The real problems are financial.

Definitely don't get a mortgage to buy a home in a trailer park. Its the worst abuses of both the mortgage and rental markets. No matter what your at the mercy of the landlord raising prices (and selling to someone who raises prices to drive everyone off), while frequently ending up underwater in the trailer itself. For people who are this low on the income ladder the ability to _move_ the trailer is mostly non-existent since it generally starts at a few thousand $$, and goes from there. So, people lose the trailers, and their investment when they can't pay the rent. Then there is the problem that even the worst built house is better quality than what you find from any of the mobile home builders which have to basically use plastic/vinyl/particleboard glued together to keep weight down with the occasional staple to hold things together while the glue is drying. Most of the homes cannot be moved after a couple years because they would fall apart when presented with road speed winds and vibration. So, often not only to they lose the home, they end up owning the trailer park mgmt for removing the trailer.

So, its bad. When people put mobile homes on land they own, they tend to build houses around them over time by adding covered decks, screen rooms, additions, new roofs, etc. Basically turning them into prefab cores of frequently reasonably nice houses/cabins after they rip out the crummy plastic bathrooms and put in actual porcelain toilets, real stoves, fridges, tile, countertops, etc. None of that really happens in your average mobile home community because people maintain the fiction that they can move the trailer even when its rotting in place.

Bottom line, I would live in a car/truck before I considered living in a trailer in a trailer park. People with children are probably better just finding another family to share a rental with and packing bunk beds in.
College athletics are an entertainment industry grafted onto an educational institution. They bring in an enormous amount of revenue, and must employ star power to compete. Star power costs money.

It's best to not think of athletics as part of the university at all, except when they start to lose money and become parasitic.

I have to say that my immediate interpretation of the title is: "Goldman Sachs: We've bought some oil futures".
> If you naïvely apply bad encryption before good you may weaken the entire system

The strength of the system can be viewed from multiple angles. From a practical angle, applying one kind of commercial encryption on top of another type of commercial encryption turns it into a technically weaker, but unique cryptosystem. And uniqueness has value if you're just a single fish in a big pond.

For instance, if one single An0m customer had applied a caesar cypher to their communications, the cops might have skipped over him due to the unknown cost of putting dedicated crypto effort into one person in a massive dragnet.
For sure. There are strong arguments to be made that the culture and cultural context of a society is more often than not constructed than emergent - everything from religious leaders, to laws, to advertising campaigns strongly influence it in very visible and measurable ways (albeit not always the ones intended), and those are generally set or strongly influenced by the ‘authorities’.

Where the authorities are strongly authoritarian, you’ll definitely see the normalization and entrenchment of oppression, mobilization of society to attack those who are ‘others’ or challenge the status quo, blatant propaganda, secret police, secret courts, and many other things.

Near as I can tell, there is no modern society on earth that isn’t doing it to some significant extent.

Like an accent, it’s almost impossible to tell it even exists when you grow up in it. To someone who hasn’t looked for it, or travelled enough to see the patterns, everyone else just speaks weird.
I think it depends on how you use it. I find Twitter more useful than Linkedin.

At least the TinyPilot firmware is Open Source https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot - i don't know Pi-KVM. And it's a normal RaspberryPi with a debian-based os. So you should be able to just attach an LTE modem via USB and configure it via SSH, right?
> Like at a previous job I had at a 250 employee company where premiums went up $150/m one year because the previous year had two families had a kid get (very different kinds of) cancer out of the blue.

It's bad enough that I've heard office gossips complain about other employees leveraging their healthcare turning into higher premiums the year after. Like, as evil as complaining their coworker's kid got cancer.

When employees go through big health events it's hard to keep it under wraps in a work environment... especially in this "race to the bottom" society we happen to live in. You can bang on about privacy all you want, but people talk.

I guess I'm shocked it happened in an office of ~250 as I've always seen it happen at much smaller places.
