I think that this isn't strictly true. If you naïvely apply bad encryption before good you may weaken the entire system. For a silly example, imagine your "homegrown" crypto adds a publicly known plaintext to the start of the cyphertext. I think this is discussed in Schneier's textbook.

> The corruption of the news media is in their choice to mock and literally laugh at people sick from veterinary iver because kicking the out-group is popular with their audience (read $$). They do this instead of explaining (in a meaningful way) how we got here, and what steps we can take to make the situation better.

The idea that this is somehow the media’s fault for not being sufficiently patient and understanding with the ivermectin crowd is actually quite pathetic. Stop infantilizing these people; they are adults with their own agency. Their bad decisions are not the fault of the media[0].

And what kind of program would your AI write? Would it write a web-app? How would it figure out what the API should look like just based on self training against a compiler? Neither the compiler nor the AI code you mentioned have any understanding of web API's, there is no way it could code that.

AI isn't magic, it can't solve problems you don't give it. When doing alpha go they gave the AI all the rules for GO and told it to optimize for those rules. That works fine. But if you want it to make a web-app, what rules would you give it to optimise for? Do you have a web-app evaluator lying around somewhere we can use? If not I don't see it happening.

The current code helper solved that by telling the AI to solve the problem "write code that looks like this bunch of human written code". The AI can do that just fine, but code that looks like human written code isn't terribly useful since the AI doesn't understand what makes the code good, all it knows is that the code looks similar to what a human once wrote. This is cool, but as you can see this is very different from the real deal where the AI solves the real coding problem rather than "write something that looks like code" problem.
Yes you can use the same operation to encrypt and decrypt it if X == 2.

Well PC game companies could sell graphics cards, but I don't see anything in the article that assures they land in the hand of gamers rather than eth miners.

So in that regard it won't fix the problem, frankly I'm a bit surprised that AMD/Nvidia haven't started some kind of "GPU direct" system where they track the mailing addresses they are being sent to and prioritize orders being sent to unique mailing addresses with unique credit card names. Microcenter does something similar (AFAIK) for hard to stock items where its 1 per customer, and they use the CC name to validate you don't just walk out of the store and back in an hour to buy another.

Although, like the ryzen 5k shortages it feels more like there is just a general shortage, and AMD was prioritizing the higher margin goods (aka epycs to hyperscalers). So while everyone likes to blame the miners, its just as likely that they aren't really having that big of an impact overall compared with some big corps buying some higher margin part and consuming all the available volume for their machine learning/etc apps.
Carmack literally talks about working WITH Jobs, but random HN user says he didn't.

OK!
I've had an awful time getting this to work consistently. Same with the prompting to add/update a new entry upon creating/changing a password.
Maybe we see different things. Many people, including on HN, argue for things like lottery systems for universities, i.e. "you can't get into a better university by performing better in grade school".

One scam here is that there will likely be ubiquitous sensors in your tv, door bell, car, fridge, heater and they won't be reporting back to you. They'll be telling the sellers of these devices about your activities, and it will be sold just like connected tvs today sell info about what you watch.
The most depressing thing is that it likely wouldn't have changed much. Congress (of which Bernie is still part of and has been for decades) is the one with the power to make these changes, the President is just the scapegoat/hero.
It's even more mundane than that.

They just require you to allow their ads during your call. It's privacy preserving ad tech in exchange for 1:1 video calls.

That's way better than sites requiring you to allow 3rd party ads to use their site.

EDIT: I just saw they let you set your ads to "0 per hour" and still let you use this service. I wonder if that's an oversight.
uBlock origin is the only ad blocker worth trusting. Privacy Badger is fine but breaks things too often. PiHole is good but requires too much know-how for most. ABP and Brave both do the same garbage ransom-taking with their ad replacement schema. So few publishers have an account with them that the monies supposedly going to support content sits (at best) in an escrow account that is escheated at some point.
well, no - Swift's call syntax actually results in the same or more characters:

somePoint.moveBy(x: 2.0, y: 3.0)

[somePoint moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0];

somePoint.moveBy(x: 2.0, y: 3.0, z: 4.0)

[somePoint moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0 z: 4.0];
One time pads are really inconvenient and hard to get right. That's why they are almost never used in practice, despite being theoretically perfect.

First, you need to generate large amounts of unbiased, true random data. If it is not true randomness, you have a stream cypher, and if you "rolled your own", probably not a good one.

They you have to store the one-time pad. It is usually too big to memorize. You have to store in on a device like a USB stick or a book, and guard it well.

Then, you have to share the secret, and for that you need a secure channel and that shouldn't rely on encryption, because it would miss the point. Essentially, you need to meet in person, in a secure location.

Then, you need to make sure that the one-time pad really is one-time. It should be securely destroyed after each use, preferably on both ends.
> Bundled payments give providers the freedom and financial incentive to find innovative ways to efficiently deliver high quality care

Until someone financially incentivizes a higher quality of care I don't expect to receive it, especially by a bundled pricing model.

> No one benefits when hospitals have a separate line item charge every time a nurse administers a pain killer over the course of a hospital stay.

And as someone who's been billed insane amounts for things like OTC painkillers I disagree with this so hard. I have zero, and I mean zero, confidence that they will not continue to overcharge me. When everything is individually coded then at least a patient can go back and "look at the receipt"...

In my adult life I realize that almost everything is weaponized against me (the patient) in healthcare. I cannot expect in good faith that removing the line items from the receipt will help me in any way. In America, I can only expect this to hurt me or I'd be an idiot.

Sorry to disagree, but there is no way that bundled pricing is going to serve the patient better as it makes auditing services rendered much much harder. As someone who's had to get into the weeds on this stuff between insurer, hospital billing, etc. I can only imagine that bundled pricing would have made my life more difficult as it really did come down to the codes.....
I do this all the time, following Harold McGee's suggestion years ago.

The advice to shut the burner off is novel, though. I'll have to give that a try. I usually set it to medium, and I believe it'll work turned off with a cover.

But I'd amend his advice on spaghetti. With a wide, flat skillet you can bring water to a boil fast, and still fit spaghetti in it. With thin spaghetti, and using a separate kettle to boil some of the water, I can have pasta ready in five minutes from walking in the door. (And that water is perfect for cacio e pepe.)
I don't like your example.

> It is the user's agent, and as the user, I want the control. I want to make the decisions.

What kind of decisions do you want to be able to make? Unless you're writing all your own filters (in which case, kudos to you!), you're still ultimately delegating these decisions primarily to a handful of filter list maintainers you've probably never met. Brave's source code and filter lists are all developed in the open and are heavily customizable, as well.
I want to talk about pay, and make choices based on what I know about other people's pay. I've attempted to do this several times with friends, but for a lot of people pay is just too intimate a number to discuss objectively.

In one case, we discovered that one friend was getting paid $30k less per year than I was, which seemed mostly to be related to the fact his parents convinced him that no one was actually getting the insane tech salaries people talk about here and thus he didn't negotiate. Maybe he took that information with him to his employer and successfully negotiated up, maybe he didn't. I don't know because he started treating me differently and eventually stopped talking to me altogether.

It's not like job title maps to the actual work anyways. Some companies only expect SWEs to work various parts of a huge monolith that magically gets deployed somewhere. Some companies only expect SWEs to own every single part of the process for getting an application from a whiteboard to prod. Some companies have different expectations depending on your org. Some companies vary these expectations based on what they sense they can get individuals to do. That's not even discussing the idea that people can be better (and thus take less time) than others even if they are doing the "same" task. How is pay a useful number in that context?

I'm just soured on the whole idea, I don't see how a system based on this kind of radical transparency doesn't result in either completely leveled salaries or pay reflecting (and enforcing) social hierarchies. I just see people using different social tools based on group perceptions more than the modicum of individual agency I have when I'm able to advocate for my specific contribution's value during negotiations.
I really don’t get the complaints with Twitter as a product, at least from my usage. But maybe that’s because I’ve exclusively been using Tweetbot for several years.

But it basically does exactly what I want: when someone I follow posts something, it shows up in my feed. Which is what it’s been doing for years.

Again, maybe this is a matter of the client, but Tweetbot lets me see exactly what I want, and nothing more.

I don't get tired of beans and rice, but I do get tired of keeping a significant volume of beans and rice in my tiny apartment kitchen. I already barely have room as it is without a box of emergency supplies. For day-to-day quality of life I have to just hope that my normal supply of food and the American supply chain will back me up until I'm able to get a house.
> Helium literally never did an ICO.

They clearly have some sort of central issuance because they have an airdrop. Their “proof” mechanism is either centralized or Sybil vulnerable - haven’t bothered checking which.

> So funny watching bitter losers at hackernews get everything about blockchain wrong and stay poor over the past 10 years.

This is a hilariously off-the-mark shot. I have nothing against blockchain when used where it’s actually useful (I.e. for solving double-spend or zooko). This, however, seems like a silly misapplication.

Dr. Fauci in March. “When we get in a situation where we have enough masks, I believe there will be some very serious consideration about more broadening this recommendation of using masks. We're not there yet, but I think we're close to coming to some determination. Because if, in fact, a person who may or may not be infected wants to prevent infecting someone else, one of the best ways to do that is with a mask, so perhaps that's the way to go.” [1]

His 60 Minutes interview, also in March. “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”

There is a reason for the heavily campaigned “My mask protects you. Your mask protects me.” A mask’s benefit is in preventing an infected person from infecting others much more so than protecting an uninfected person from unmasked infected people. Masks come with risks. People tend to touch their face more while wearing masks, and contracting the virus by touching your face is a primary infection mode. People tend to relax other more effective protection methods when wearing a mask, both unconsciously and due to a false belief in the protective capabilities of a mask.

With a pandemic where the virus is spreading via asymptomatic people, masks are effective with largescale adoption for “herd immunity” effect. So telling people with a false confidence that their mask is not protecting them the way they think it does is true. Telling people that masks are not advised right now when there is not enough supply for the prophylactic effect is true. People choosing to deliberately misinterpret what was communicated is the real problem.

Do you know of any major players that support this? I'm only really aware of Yubico's offering and they don't have a model that allows copying.

Thanks for raising this point though. Lack of copy-ability is more an implementation issue than a problem with the standard.
I was just about to say this. Brave is the opposite of a free browser, it just so happens to cost nothing to download/use it.

"No cavities again! Would you like a flouride rinse?"
"Why would I do that? I have flouride in my mouth rinse and my tooth paste."
"Well, ours is a higher concentration that I paint onto your teeth."
"Didn't you say I had no cavities?"
"Well, yeah."
".... so what I'm doing seems to be working without your rinse"
"Well, it's only $16"
"My flouride rinse has the exact same active ingredient as yours and costs $5 for an entire bottle."
And it just goes on and on.
That is true, but the great majority of memory safety issues are not concurrent ones. In practice Swift and Go are huge improvements over C, C++, and Objective-C in terms of memory safety.

I'd also say they are in a reasonable space in the state of the art of safety in general. While they do not make concurrency safe and Rust does, in Rust you need to use unsafe to write things like doubly-linked lists and graphs (or resort to things like indexes-in-an-array), which you can do safely in Swift and Go. So there are interesting tradeoffs all around - our industry has not found a perfect solution here yet.

I don't think consumers budgeting can realistically be the control on the growth of healthcare costs. For one thing, people's budgets vary too wildly.

Healthcare should simply be "free", ie budgeted into the operation of a modern society, like infrastructure costs and education.
Strong agree here. This is also tied into the "batteries included" approach of Apple platforms, because many if not the majority of Swift/Obj-C libraries are mainly wrappers around system frameworks that either bring them to a higher level (in the case of C or C++ APIs) or add a sprinkle of syntactic sugar and light-to-moderate gap filling functionality. So naturally, these libraries are easier to maintain in the long term simply because they're doing so much less.
Someone on YouTube made an interesting point that what we’re seeing is people quitting jobs they would have left much earlier, but couldn’t because of the pandemic. Basically a lot of people deferred quitting in 2020 and now the 2020 batch is quitting with the 2021 batch.
I'm not saying it's not because of regulations. I'm saying it's not just the regulations on payouts and the regulations on payouts probably aren't even the most important, because all the regulation in the world around ensuring the insurer can't skip out on payouts will do nothing for "Oops we invested badly and have literally no money with which to pay your completely valid claim".

The payouts regulations are still good and necessary because that's way better than requiring people to find out the hard way through shitty claims processes and denials and word-of-mouth reputation, but they're in no way sufficient.
>> They have a column called "Uninsured cash price." These prices are <25% of the insurance "discount" prices

> And this can really cause issues for people who are insured because if an insurance company decides not to cover something (very very common, even in-network) then the inflated price is what you end up getting billed for.

That doesn't sound like an "inflated" price? 25% of what insurance companies are billed for?

I'm confused. I'm not sure y'all are talking about the same things?

Small anecdotes if it helps anyone.

- a lot of (most?) people are really stressed out by the pandemic, and suffering from some kind of mental health crisis or discomfort. This can push someone to finally resign a borderline job, or switch careers if they were struggling already with burnout. I also know several friends who had marriages blow up during this time that otherwise would have kept going indefinitely, and that often leads to rethinking many other life decisions.

- the constant ‘work from home’ has also allowed many people flexibility to pursue side projects, invest in other parts of their lives, and try things they otherwise wouldn’t because of the lack of flexibility. This opens up new lines of thinking other than ‘keep turning the crank at this specific job as hard as I can’

- stock market valuations have skyrocketed. For folks with large stock portfolios, many went from ‘doing ok, maybe retire in 5-10 years if I keep doing this’ to ‘fuck you money’ in the space of a year and a half.

- for everyone else, there is a severe crunch of staffing in many companies, and some are willing to pay people based on that, leading to shaking up a stagnant wage pool in many markets. Many of the stagnant wage pools were at companies that were already not very good at showing caring and empathy for their workers, or outright abusive. A lot of people are switching because of one or more of these factors, and enjoying massive raises and better working conditions because of it.

- as more folks resign and/or switch, and when it actually works out well for them, others notice and are more willing to do the same.

The opposite effect could be in play here too: remote employees feel less connected to their team and are more willing to quit.
That would not have helped with use-after-free, though, which Swift does solve.
Might. Or might not. The last authority on that IMO is an investment bank with no skin in the game.

If they really thought it’s true, they would trade on it themselves (they can now, really) or at least keep quiet about it and tell their top-paying clients privately.
