No pivoting; just an incremental realization of a better Web. We never replaced ads. Brave blocks trackers, and their associated third-party ads for privacy and security reasons—we've done this from the start. But when you block third-party ads, you cut into the revenue of publishers, creators, and other content makers.

Cutting revenue for those who make the Web wonderful is not ideal, so an alternative approach was needed to help those who creator the content that keeps us 'coming back' to the Web. This is where Brave Rewards came in, and Brave's User Growth Pool. We distributed BAT to our users, inviting them to ear-mark it for the creators they appreciated most. Some of those creators signed-up to claim our tokens, while others didn't.

From the start, Brave has been focused on privacy, security, and sustainability. In the vein of privacy, we introduced Brave Search. An engine with its own index, not connected to you or your online activities, existing only to help you find what you're seeking on the Web.

Our revenue model is largely ad-based, but quite different from the ads we all have come accustomed to on the Web. Brave's Ad model is consent-based, user-configurable (you control ad-frequencies, etc.), and private-by-design. Rather than sending your data off to third-parties, we send regional ad catalogs to you. These are studied in the private enclave of your machine so that your data is never transmitted elsewhere. When users participate in Brave Ads, they receive 70% of the associated revenue (for their attention). Brave gets the remaining 30%.

I hope this helps

Not all treatments are statistically useful. In the US you can get anything you can pay for, even if it costs a million dollars and hasn't been shown to have any beneficial effect. In a national system you make statistical decisions based on cost and effectiveness.
Older UGC site makers have this issue when posting such sites as subdomains. Newer ones put user stuff on subdomains of another top level domain. Mitigations include having login on a separate domain and use oauth to yourself. :)

There is actually a list of such sites that Firefox has (had? haven’t been in the space in a while) that they could use for various reasons. Like treating the tumblr.com domain as an international domain (co.uk) which Google search would do as well.
I think forcing hospitals to at least list something is a good start. It won't be perfect but it will make people more aware of how hospitals and insurance companies are working usually to screw people when it comes to billing. Any transparency is a good thing whether it is perfect or not.

Let's assume that is true, what has that to do with public pay information. You say yourself you hardly see 2x differences in salary, and I assume you are not only talking about public pay companies (I certainly have not seen it much either even in non public pay companies).
I'll play that game.

Thanks for that. It shows how a simple passionate speech, can bring about positive change.

If my doctor and reputable public health experts disagree with the FDA (or with scientists who resigned from the FDA in protest), that could certainly be enough to overcome my skepticism. I'd have to consider it on a case-by-case basis.

I didn't skim it. It was precisely that part that prompted my comment.

There is no indication of 'why' she might show no motivation. The assumption here seems to be that she's a freerider, a burden, and not a partner with motivation issues. And I cited good reasons for lacking motivation. From personal experience.

Yes, there are people that become lazy, or show their laziness after some time hiding it behind an easy 0-producing job. And yes sometimes you discover that you don't like that in your partner and maybe you're now too different, etc.

But this hustle mentality, don't stop and think, just find a job, any job, gogogogogogogogogo, isn't how I want to be treated when laid off or broken in some way. There's a lot of talk on HN about mental health, burnout, depression, but also lots of people that seem to be OK to ditch a partner at the first sign of him or her not being 100% 'on' all the time.

There's many discussions to be had when you realize your partner doesn't want to work anymore. The first one is probably 'downsizing' as fast as possible. Can we live on one salary? How much time? What do we let go to weather this? Do you think it's temporary, do you want to switch careers? Are you ready to lose those comforts? Are you thinking about the near future? Do you have plans? Do I sit in them? do you want to try therapy? Maybe not all the questions on the same day. Decisions, together. And red lines if you must. Money, kids, health. Yours and your partners.

I was just saying, maybe someone you trusted and observed having fine work ethics (if that's what floats your boat) changing suddenly, is maybe sign of a problem you were supposed to be helping with, as the other person in this relationship.

This line alone makes Brace insecure. It relies on the upstream project. Whenever the upstream project gets a security patch, it will be exploited on the downstream and there is X time for the update, unless you have the userbase of Edge or something.

> if an insurance company decides not to cover something (very very common, even in-network)

Which is why hospitals charge higher prices to insurance companies.

Insurance companies often blanket deny every single claim made against them. This forces the hospital revenue cycle department to have an appeals nurse review just about every procedure done in the hospital, and justify its use. This almost always results in a "discount" for something by virtue of a care provider not justifying every action they take.

Revenue cycle management departments used to be small, about 1 per 1000 hospital employees. Today, they are so big - and make so much money* - that hospital systems are spinning off their revenue cycle management companies for billions of dollars. Private equity firms have been acquiring in this space like mad since about 2016.

* Really, they are actually getting the money that is already owed.

Hospitals rig the economy. They intentionally break price comparisons, patients able to decide-before-buy, pricing pressure, and a million ways to rig prices.
Gotta agree with the sibling comments here. The performance difference is definitely smaller than it used to be, but there's still good reasons to keep compiled regexes in a module scope.

Caveat: I write libraries, not "production" code; my requirements are significantly more strict. One thing I can't do is make assumptions about where my code will run. If you're using my library, and you compile a whole bunch of regexes, they'll evict my regexes from the cache. I don't want the performance of my library to suffer, so I'll keep them in the module scope.
I have some sort of ASUS. I'm not even sure the model since I never have to deal with it. I don't think I've restarted since applying the config settings about 2 years ago. Although we might get a power outage once a year or so which is essentially a restart.

That's not the point. Your explanation is exactly what the issue is. Why is cash price cheaper than insurance price ? And in that case, why do we even need insurance for most of these visits.
Genetics reveal how humans island-hopped to settle remote Pacific
Exactly this, though I’d like to point out that word “misbehaves.”

Many people may not see the medical cost world as misbehaving at all. It sounds like healthcare companies, from drug manufacturers to hospitals, are charging what the market will bare.

The inelasticity of the products and services for sale are what allows this market to become so out of whack. I don’t need an iPad that badly, but I do need to have these drugs to have a good quality of life.

I’m glad we’re taking these steps on the journey of making costs more transparent and understandable. And perhaps putting into law what we the people think is a reasonable approach to charging for life-saving treatments, rather than “whatever the company can get away with.”
It's not a matter of limited perspective, it's a matter of the laws of physics. The rocket equation is a harsh mistress. Without FTL or reactionless drives the physics of going to a distant solar system is absurdly unfavorable. It takes many decades/centuries, is a one way trip, and the ability to build a self contained self powered ecosystem that can survive the entire trip without support. Once you have that why bother going to a distant solar system? You have a perfect orbital habitat.
> So sure, they can try to convince policy holders to increase coverage which allows them to charge a higher premium

Or they just stone wall and increase premiums anywhere they can until they hit targets. 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. You'd think that shopping around would've helped in that case, but the word got out somehow to the other insurance companies and they were giving us similar quotes.

The power relationship is very very tilted in the insurance company's favor and they can more or less dictate terms.
I code several times faster in ObjC than Swift, and this is after writing two released Swift apps.
Just a simple thing like writing string to num to string that works in different bases is a nightmare in Swift.
C++ is of course a vastly more complex language than Swift. I don't think anyone would want to code in C++ these days if they can avoid it.
This is what makes me tear my hair out. why is it that despite serious flaws that are nearly impossible to attribute to ignorance, do people trust and treat his opinions as quality reasoning?

How so?
Side scrollers have existed since the Apple II on "PCs". I highly doubt that 1991 was the first side scroller on ibm pc.

Wolfenstein was not the first 3d fps on ibmpc, and certainly not in "PC" land. Skyfox existed on the Apple II, and battlezone likely was ported at some point.

Carmack was fantastic, but again his "requirements" are static and he is a dev team of one.
Yeah, if you could just have VPs who know how things work, that would be great!
If your "freedom" can kill other people it's a problem. You are "free" to never stop on red lights, and just go, but you obey that rule for the general good. Vaccines are stopping at the red light and waiting for it to turn green.

True but it can be shown to be plausibly written by the defendant if there's no reasonable way the police could have known details without the message being intercepted.

For example:

"Hey Bill, I'm going to steal the car at 123 Anywhere Street on Thursday at 2 am."

Police then put a camera at 123 Anywhere St., and a reasonable juror would likely conclude there are two lines of legitimate evidence.

Here's the exact language from the ruling:

> Accordingly, a nationwide injunction shall issue enjoining Apple from prohibiting developers to include in their: Apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to IAP.

> Nor may Apple prohibit developers from: Communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers through account registration within the app.

C++ pays an extraordinary price for the fully parallel builds, concealed in the "One Definition Rule".

The price is, if you violate the ODR the standard says your program is not valid C++ (and thus has no defined meaning) but there is no requirement for a diagnostic (ie a compile or link error) and the build might complete.

This has sometimes been described as "False positives for the question is this a program?" and is a pretty serious penalty to pay for the benefit of improved compile time.
> It's in the return on investments the insurer makes with the money they hold in trust

...sourced from the premiums. When they pull in more premiums, they have more money to invest.
Yes well good for you. I'm not sure what kind of software you're developing but it obviously isn't consumer facing mobile apps. So perhaps your anecdata is irrelevant in this case, yes?

Apple is a gatekeeper that no one who is buying their phones cares about. People buy iPhones because their friends have iPhones, that's it. But Apple treats developing for Apple as a special privilege and locks down their massive ecosystem. It should be illegal at the scale Apple has, but it isn't.

So yes, we are forced to work with Apple in order to be competitive in industries that Apple has no business controlling. You don't have that problem with whatever you develop because (presumably) Microsoft doesn't exploit Windows' market advantage in the way Apple does.
Helium literally never did an ICO.

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

- Throw in some buzzwords you don't really understand like "lightning" (does not apply to helium as it is a protocol based on bitcoin script)

- use the word "scam" because you don't own any and you didn't invest a few months ago when it was pennies.

- sprinkle in some unfounded FUD about decentralization and Sybil attacks because you're bitter you still don't own any

Helium is the fastest growing wireless network on the planet.

There are currently 190,000 hotspots over the globe, up from 20,000 6-months ago. https://explorer.helium.com/

Call me when the Helium node count drops below 100,000 again and I'll congratulate you and thank you for warning everyone about this "scam" before it was too late.
I was reluctant but, since quitting all traditional social media other than imageboards I feel like my online life is much less toxic. Which is ironic considering the type of verbal abuse one is to tolerate from said websites...
>"it’s always for information asymmetry in negotiations"

There are other reasons; depending on how varied the roles and responsibilities are in an organization, and the people working there (partly 'culture'), this kind of information can make some people get embarrassed or envious. This is obviously most true for company with wider ranges of operations (highly paid engineers vs. lower paid manufacturing workers and/or customer service personnel,) in areas where 'value to company' is not a widely-shared outlook.
I also wonder why there's such a pushback against one-time-pads. The common critiques don't seem to be any greater of a risk than the holes we've already encountered (e.g. heartbleed).

I think I remember a scifi story that mentioned some character who worked in the one-time-pad shipping business. I guess a spacecraft full of data storage can hold enough random data to last for a long time.

Seems like we should at least come up with a proper protocol for it, so we can at least get started with something that's broadly compatible.
It doesn't seem all that likely that we're just too early. The planet was stuck with dinosaurs for hundreds of millions of years.
A few weeks ago I searched for "pandemic related to increased reports of mid-life crisis" but couldn't find anything. This data could back up my theory in that the increase in resignations seems to be mid-career folks.
Scams? They paid for my $6000 colonoscopy which caught early cancer, my daughters stitches, my wife's allergy specialist, my son's rocky mountain spotted fever, etc. etc. $500/mo for our family of 5 and we've been on it for nearly 10 years. But yes, please tell me more how this service that is way cheaper than insurance, is a community of people helping each other, and covers way more than insurance, is a scam.
I believe legally they have a duty to provide care.
Ask HN: Migrating an App Off of Shopify
I've inherited an application at a startup that has been built on Shopify due to resource and business constraints while trying to find product market fit. As time has gone on we've been fighting with limitations of the platform along with developer experience. I was wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation and how then went about migrating off of the platform. Ideally this would need to be incremental due to the demands of the business. Taking a pause to do a complete rewrite using the headless API would be hard to justify to the business at the current stage.

It's a one-time fee (per device~ish) and you can connect & sync it to Google Drive, Dropbox, Local folder, or to another device over WiFi. I've been using it for a few years and it has great iPhone and macOS integration. The Windows integration is also good but not quite as smooth as being integrated with FaceID or thumb print ID.
That is not a meaningful technical difference.
I never had to quit social media. They quit me. I loved Facebook and Twitter when they were new, I connected to people that were way outside my normal group of friends and stayed in contact with people I knew who moved away, sometimes passively by reading their posts, sometimes actively.

But both platforms started actively working against that kind of usage. Eventually I just had to stop as they became unusable, not using Twitter at all anymore, and only using FB for messenger.
I know that any anti-capitalism comments get immediately downvoted here but yeah...

The privatization of healthcare is a conflict of interest which is a product of our hyper-capitalistic society. You can't make a profit center out of human services without dehumanizing it in the process - the very nature of profit/capitalistic societies means someone has to lose and I see no place for these interests in healthcare or education.

Edit: yep - expected that. Maybe someone argue as to why privatization (which is a product of capitalism) isn't a conflict of interest in regards to healthcare?
Ask HN: Web devs who've made a transition to part time work, how did you do it?
I'm a fairly senior agency grunt who has been building web sites and applications for around a decade. I enjoy it but would just like more free time for projects, hikes, etc. If I could earn 3/5ths of my salary for working 3/5ths my current time, I'd take it. Really, I'd be open 2/5th - 4/5th or working full time with some extended time off between projects. I'm not a great networker so not sure freelance would be the easiest option for me but I'd be open. I'm just looking for ideas and to hear from others about their experiences.
Not Android, but made in the USA: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa (and can run Waydroid).
That's an interesting thought, but I doubt it matters much in practice. I mean, we don't refuse to admit into evidence a ransom note just because the criminal didn't get it notarized. And that's all that SSL is doing, is acting as that notary. The jury can still decide that they think other evidence pointing to the message's origin is sufficient proof.
Could also be that more and more people are child free, which makes them less reliant on a job.
> Are you saying that you feel like Brave is deceptive in describing how their service works or that the entire idea of a tool that blocks some subset of ads that the user cannot configure and replaces them is fundamentally unethical?

My personal issue is that Brave is an advertising company which is blocking competitor ads where content-creators are getting paid (the company which the content-creators chose to partner with), and replacing them with ads of their own (regardless of the format of them).

It's a great business model - but IMO it's just stealing or subverting ad revenue from the people who actually generate the content you are reading and maintain the infrastructure.

Hate ads? Get Firefox and block them.

Don't mind ads and are happy for the revenue to go to the content creator? Get Firefox, it blocks most tracking anyway.

Don't mind ads but hate the idea that the revenue will go to the content creator, and you would rather give it to some random shady company that might give you a cut of their subverted/stolen revenue in crypto? Get Brave!
We did the same thing when I worked for a resume search/sort/share site. Built a big ML tool that could look at job listings and resumes and pick who was best for each job. Our training data set was millions of resumes, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and in most of those jobs, we could say which resumes got shortlisted and which resumes got hired.

In the end, it gave basically the same results as keyword searching. But we marketed the shit out of it.

And that’s because the product you were buying had a completely inelastic demand. You might have died if you didn’t get treatment.

Perhaps allowing healthcare providers to incentivize things like this is… not great? Because we’ll sign pretty much anything if we’re sick enough.
