> In nearly every documented society, people believe that some misfortunes are caused by malicious group mates using magic or supernatural powers. Here I report cross-cultural patterns in these beliefs and propose a theory to explain them. Using the newly created Mystical Harm Survey, I show that several conceptions of malicious mystical practitioners, including sorcerers (who use learned spells), possessors of the evil eye (who transmit injury through their stares and words), and witches (who possess superpowers, pose existential threats, and engage in morally abhorrent acts), recur around the world. I argue that these beliefs develop
from three cultural selective processes: a selection for intuitive magic, a selection for plausible explanations of impactful misfortune, and a selection for demonizing myths that justify mistreatment. Separately, these selective schemes produce traditions as diverse as shamanism, conspiracy theories, and campaigns against heretics — but around the world, they jointly give rise to the odious and
feared witch. I use the tripartite theory to explain the forms of beliefs in mystical harm and outline 10 predictions for how shifting conditions should affect those conceptions. Societally corrosive beliefs can persist when they are intuitively appealing or they serve some believers' agendas.

That's great until the church decides your parents are sinners and refuse to cover anything, and have no consequences for stealing their money.

Unless you’re using a true random number generator that works on a mechanical/electrical process a lot of encryption algorithms are various ways of creating a one-time pad. And they save a lot on space which used to be precious. With a single key much smaller than a megabyte I can encrypt essentially endlessly where for the normal OTP process I need as much random data as there is data to be encrypted which gets unwieldy extremely quickly even with cheap storage.
And evidence of burning possibly indicting evidence is all the more indicting.
People are too free with their phones. Just walk into a bar and say you're too drunk to drive and could the bartender call my wife to pick me up? Not knowing its actually picking up $60M worth of coke instead of picking up me.

Or pull off to the side of the road, walk in well dressed, wave a dead iphone in front of them, ask the receptionist "hey my car broke down and my battery is dead, could you call this number and tell them my car broke down?" Or bonus points if the cops arrive because you're blocking traffic, ask the cop to call on their phone.

(edited I got the best idea that most anyone would fall for: Slip a kid $20 to ask an adult to call his mommie because he got lost...)
This is why I still have my iPhone around. I know that one day my banking apps will just stop working. For now, Magisk Hide does the job.

Next time when I'll be looking for a new Android phone to buy, stock Android will be a hard requirement. I was stupid to pick my Xiaomi phone for it's hardware, I should've just gone with a Motorola.
People show up at hospitals physically unable to identify theirselves all of the time.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/05/07/7207022...

Hospitals that accept medicare do have a legal obligation to stabilize patients. But we're talking 'stabilize' as in 'you're not dying'. If you're alert and capable enough to be arguing with people and you're not a psych danger, you're likely stable enough to legally be thrown out on the street.
How's that working out for victims of ransomware attacks or nation-state corporate espionage?
Huh, I never heard of this site. Interesting stuff on there. It seems there are some mobile apps making <$100 annually, <1k users, and asking like $15k. Haha I wish my similar user base (free) apps would sell for that.
Do you want to talk about the very hostile things? We're not perfect (neither is Mozilla, people still roast them for stuff like bundling Pocket without it being uninstallable) but we fix and learn.
Maybe in the long run. This winter, poor people still need heating oil and natural gas without going bankrupt.
Thank the private free market.. /s it goes this way because the government involvement. If anyone else in another industry attempted the same thing they would be sued for fraud.
I see what you're saying, but much of the factors driving the "misbehavior" is due to companies being in-cahoots with each other on creating convoluted pricing schemes, kickbacks with various parties, and muscling through legislation that favors healthcare providers and insurers, to the detriment of patients.

It's true that this can all be explained in economic terms, but it's true in the same sense that the behavior of warlords can be described by economics.

One slight variation on remote: last year we learned which companies are loyal to, and value, employees. Plenty of companies released people preemptively, simply to make a couple of quarters look good.

If the relationship is going to be that minimally frangible, people will hesitate to relocate to a company town at great impact to their family, only to repeat every time a shadow crosses some book.

Remote people can have some defensive stability.
Ah, I didn't realize it. Good to know - thanks!
The hospital's drug cost is the price the distributor charges it. That price varies for each individual patient. It's turtles all the way down.
First, it's okay if you enjoy some things and others don't. No critic says you have to enjoy what a "select group" (aka experts) thinks is good quality.

Studying food is not different from studying music. Everyone can hear the music and everyone tastes food (daily), but that does not make you an expert in both.

> I'm of the mind if I like it then it's an enjoyable experience

For you as a normal person that is totally okay, but it is not the standard a good critic should follow.
Indeed, for me it was podcasts…Found myself listening to way too many podcasts just to pass time!

The fact that I hadn't seen my coworkers in a year made it easier to switch. No denying that. Loved my previous workplace, great people, great work. They went above and beyond in all matters. Would probably not have risked a move in normal circumstances.

Because I don't believe you. For example, I followed up on your claim about the second when it happened and it appeared clear to me that it was not a bug.

I'm now familiar with how you aggressively and dishonestly attack people who call out Brave's actions. I know I'm not special - that's just how you do business - but you aren't going to intimidate me.

I will make one concession to your attack though, I will declare that I'm not affiliated with any party in this and am simply doing my best to objectively judge the facts.
You need both. It's important to see the forest through the trees, but it's also helpful to not run into the tree right in front of you.
You are going to great lengths to justify shitting on dead people, just to put this whole conversation into perspective.

Now how would you feel if someone just got a feeling about you at the hospital and thought you were one of those types that deserved it? Maybe they mistook your mustache or your boots to mean something it doesn't. Maybe there was a hiccup in your vaccine records and you appear to be lying about your vaccine status. In your mind these people deserve it, exposed to enough of this hate you might think you can just sense who these people are. You may see it as some righteousness but you are completely ignoring the US v THEM injections. When you picture these people were they mostly the same picture of people you held grudge before 2020?
I was answering to the first part of his comment, about bringing the whole kitchen sink in a tunneling protocol instead of having composable tools allowing for things the designers never imagined.

But OK, this doesn't cover the second need, I'm guessing what you need is down one layer, and should be done in kernel if you really think it important, but how does wg prevent you from doing that?

Build your tunnel obfuscator one layer down (I did some stateful, user-land driven, packet patching not long ago, with ebpf, it is not easy but the tooling is getting better. It seems the new way to do things nowadays anyway... And it runs in-kernel. Then lay wg above it. But having the wg codebase do what in fact the kernel should propose (pluggable transports, etc.) seems... asking the wrong team.

The Linux kernel network stack is already plenty composable without ebpf...
False. Did you even check your claim, or are you parroting some unreliable source?
Dental insurance via employer is mostly just a way to pay for dental healthcare via pre tax dollars.

Mozilla has been in hot-water in the past for silently installing extensions and more. But to your last comment (i.e. users can change their search engine whenever they want), consider the 'tyranny of the default'. Most users will not make changes to their browser out of the box. Most users frankly do not know how, or even know that they ought to in some areas.

When you install Firefox, and fire up that first session, your keystrokes in the address bar are sent to Google. There is no warning, or permission prompt. The same would happen if you accidentally pasted-in your social security number, or some other sensitive information—it gets sent right off to Google. It was this type of behavior, in part, that led independent researchers at Trinity College to grade Firefox lower than Brave in terms of out-of-the-box privacy: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf. In fact, Brave was found to be in its own class as the most private browser tested.
There is a rather weird overlap with the OpenStreetMap project they’re not mentioning.
"'Next/Apple' isn't a quick playbook - it's an over 30 year R&D effort to create a hugely complex software and hardware business, and it spent about $100 billion in R&D to get its products where they are today ..."

But isn't this much, much easier if you just piggyback on the Apple hardware ?

I always expected this to happen.

Circa 2008 or 2009 I thought that any day now there would be a linux distribution built specifically foe one single Apple laptop. No hardware issues, no gremlins, no moving targets - you would have a (very) fixed hardware target and optimize just for that. Then I, as a user, could just go to the Apple store and buy a nice shiny device and install MBAlinux on it and call it a day.

I really don't understand why this never happened. Further, in many ways it seems that the opposite of this happened - installing linux/FreeBSD is weirdly painful on Apple laptops which is unexpected since we all know what is inside of them and the installed base is huge.

So I would suggest that you could, indeed, build a hardware/software ecosystem - just let Apple build the hardware part ...
The focus in the article on mid-career people was interesting.

I wonder how many of those people are (finally?) realizing that hoping for advancement in the same company is the slow path for most people, and that taking your skills and experience somewhere else in a hot market is - all other things being equal - often a better option for your own career growth.

All things are not equal of course, so I'm sure it's more complex than that..

But anecdotally I know several mid-career people who have changed jobs in the last year in part because they had never bothered to look at what they could actually get with their skills and experience, and were shocked to find out they were seriously undervalued and underpaid at the job they had been at for many years.
Step one: figure out who is leaving.

Step two: "Ask yourself which factors could be driving higher resignation rates?"

Step three: Fix it.

>...the very nature of profit/capitalistic societies means someone has to lose

The last time you bought milk did you lose or did the grocery store? The last time you paid money for a hair cut, who lost there?

The extreme regulation of all aspects of health care that has developed over the last century has improved some problems and created other problems - the problems specific to healthcare have little to do with the "the very nature of profit/capitalistic societies"
For Python I prefer pudb [1] which comes with built-in support for REPLs at breakpoints, such as iPython.

From what I saw on docs, it seemed to be agnostic to host linux architecture (x86 or arm host), but it did say (on the desktop guide):

> The apk files you will sometimes find on the internet tend to only have arm support, and will therefore not work on x86_64.

Suggesting that they don't provide cross-abi compatability. If/when they move to Android 11 as the underlying image - it has both x86 and arm translations built into the packaged abi. I suspect that it will be on the user to install any abi translation packages (libhoudini for example) in order to get arm apk's to run on x86 host without qemu.

Or more literally, you can't take a freelancer on a 3 month contract at 700 a day and say, "well based on what they're being paid, my salary should be 170k!"

Also, there are lot of open source software in the space - no need to develop your own, just scan the code for backdoors.
Prices? Probably. Recovery? Absolutely, it just may not look the same. The occupation of SF by tech workers is still a very new phenomenon and has likely been disrupted.
Gemini is really just anti-metadata in general. We don't even get anything resembling a Content-Length header because supporting delimiters can lead to extensibility which can lead to tracking mechanisms like cookies and ETags.

So educate me: since Gemini has limited formatting and is text-only, why can't a screen reader just read you the text? I'm admittedly ignorant here because I don't have vision-related needs, but to me the fact that you can depend on a .GMI document to be text only would make it seem like screen or text reader software could easily handle it.
You generally need more information flow than that to successfully coordinate a big logistics move like this though which is where you need arbitrary messages.
I hate playing cards and hate disagreeing with a personal hero even more, but as a gay person I frankly have a hard time caring. Eich is an idiot on the same level as Rob Monster, but he has a right to espouse or endorse whatever completely bonkers shit he wants. That's the reason why open source exists, and why we reserve the right to maintain a fork of someone's software if their leadership comes into question. I use Firefox every day, not in tacit recognition of homophobia or gamergate, but because I need a good browser that isn't made by Google. Mozilla is the second party, the leverage I need as an individual, and I should hope that they have dissenting opinions in their corporate structure. That's what drives innovation, it only becomes an issue when he abuses his power as a CEO to push his personal agenda. He didn't though, so I have a hard time pointing out where the "abuse" is in this situation. If it makes people uncomfortable to know they're constantly surrounded by people who disagree with them, maybe developing a web browser isn't the right line of work.

I have no dog in the "he quit/fired" race, but I find it disappointing that we've stooped to finger-pointing as a community. Open source was built to be better than this, not stooping to the same level as bigotry.
So? https it adds a publicly known header at beginning of any connection anyway and I don't see public key encryption being cracked anyway. Or blockchains do that too, are wallets being emptied by the ones that don't have the private key?

And since you mentioned Schneier textbook, he also said that a good safe is the one that you give to your adversaries with the blue print of how it's made and still is uncracked, not the one that you dump in the middle of the ocean and ask your adversaries to crack it (security through obscurity).

PGP is still uncracked, if I'd become a criminal then public PGP with at least 8k bits key would be my choice.

More seriously no platform is trustworthy unless it’s airgapped these days.
Not sure what other managers you’ve used but with 1Password I just press cmd+shift+x to show a popover, arrow keys to choose the account, then press enter. No mouse needed.
So, you know how a straight line is defined as mx + b, where you just have two parameters: slope and intercept ?

Your input value is X, you multiply it by your slope and add your intercept to get the output (the Y value on the line).

The 'training' of an ML algo is really just finding the line-of-best-fit so that you can make predictions. So your line-of-best-fit is encoded in these two parameters, allowing you to make predictions about what the output would be for arbitrary input.

The problems people are throwing at ML have many more parameters and dimensions, but the training is a matter of finding those parameters that come closest to predicting the outcome. The 'model' is this set of parameters that allows the function to make predictions.

(disclaimer: also an ML noob, correct me if I'm wrong)
I think one glaring problem is that two years into the pandemic we still don't know...and given the rigid taboo which has sprung up around HCQ and other treatments, frankly I don't really trust the data. Yes, the initial studies in support of HCQ were low quality, but the primary initial study which the media jumped on to "discredit" HCQ was laughably biased, completely disregarding the early stage/prophylactic dosing recommendations and essentially overdosed terminally ill patients.

The whole thing has been a huge joke.
Is there a pushback against one-time-pads? I thought they are the perfect, unbreakable encryption scheme - just that they come with extreme logistical problems.

Ask HN: How do you coordinate schedules and projects with your spouse?
I'm not doing a good job of coordinating schedules and projects with my better half and I'm interested in knowing what tools and processes help others stay in-sync with their partners.

My wife and I may adjust our agreed-upon school drop-off and pickup schedule several times a week, and neither of us knows who is going to find a contractor to renovate the garage. But then I get frustrated when she brings up these topics when I'm heads-down on work. We're falling apart here!

A specific thing I've failed to figure out is how to control notifications regarding calendar invites - emails just find ways to be missed. I know I can pipe emails into something like Slack, but I'm wary of trying to sell my wife on a jury-rigged system.

Please, tell me what works for you.
Standard advice is to be falsely positive in exit interviews. The internet is awash with guides to not burning bridges etc.
The helium company charges miner manufacturing partners $40 a unit in order to generate the required private keys for their miners to be able to join the network.

As soon as I found out I couldn't stand up my own DIY helium miner and start providing coverage and making money I became entirely disinterested.
> Nothing about one drug being denied approval despite having more successful trials than another drug alone demonstrates that policy was ignored or that it wasn't considered.

No, it doesn’t ‘demonstrate’ it, but it certainly makes it into a candidate explanation that can’t be dismissed.
> I thought widgets would be better...but wow are they ugly out of the box

Widgets were a big selling point in the earlier days of the Android vs iOS debate, but Google has really left them to rot over the years. Now that iOS has them, it seems like Google might be finally giving them attention again? At the very least, they're getting redesigns, but I don't know if I've heard anything about them addressing the more technical reasons of why they feel so outdated compared to the rest of the platform.
Sellers aren’t going to list the product as drugs. It may be a suspiciously priced curio or garment that the buyer knows is something else.
That's neat! :)
John Carmack ran a video game company. Steve Jobs ran a platform, the Apple. Therefore John Carmack sometimes talked to Steve Jobs about things he needed from the Apple platform. John Carmack had a very negative experience in those interactions, yes. But John Carmack never worked with Steve Jobs on any project. Steve Jobs was never the boss of John Carmack.

If you disagree please link an article where it says that they did work together on anything and that during that project John Carmack's performance was significantly reduced. I haven't found such an article, and it would be strange since they never worked at the same company.

That he did a few keynotes at Apple isn't really working together. And him refusing to take a keynote that would force him to reschedule his wedding is just him being healthy and Steve Jobs being an ass, I'd say that is evidence that Steve Jobs didn't really have any power over him.
Can you elaborate on this? My gut agrees with you 100%, but I can't puzzle it out.
I can obviously research some of the points you've raised but it would be helpful to readers for you to provide some context. I don't know what FATA refers to for example, and it's not mentioned in the article you linked either.
If you don't believe me, then there's no point in talking. But you can verify for yourself that we've never replaced ads in publisher pages. On the binance.{us,com} autocomplete with affiliate code, it was a blunder where two entries in a table had the wrong flag passed in. Not sure how to prove intent, so again: no point talking if you don't believe me but my work has been in the open for 23+ years and I stand behind it.
I'm aware of that. That's different from refusing to identify yourself to avoid paying money to the healthcare racket.

The discussion here is whether there is a legal obligation to identify yourself. If there is such a requirement, it would apply to someone who is fully capacitated but refusing to identify themselves. It would not apply to someone who is unable to identify themselves due to incapacity, because such a person obviously lacks any criminal intent.
