Maybe we need to pool some money for motivating people to defy these things in court. Precedent bounties or somesuch, to motivate people to call the establishment's bluff.

The old joke in California politics was that you had two parties: both wanted good roads, schools, etc. but only one was willing to pay taxes for them. I found that quite vivid growing up in the 80s and 90s where you could basically watch infrastructure falling apart because maintenance required things like bond issues.

This is the famous Japanese method known as katamari.
You can't compare hashes like that unless they're not salted.

The same password won't hash to the same thing without the same salt so you can't compare them like that.

(If you could, then you would notice multiple users with the same hashes, i.e. the same passwords).

To verify a hash you need to retrieve the user's salt (typically stored with the hash the algorithm in a single string) then re-hash with the same salt.
A sub that makes fun of people for vehemently denying a disease exists and then die from it? I can’t think of something as well deserved.

Now real examples would be subs like the old thedonald, and the myriad of extremely racist subreddits that are allowed to exist unchecked.
Thanks for the advise! Python is in fact what I wanted to start with. But for now I have to focus on exams - including hydraulics and hydrology ;)
You're right, which is a direct counter to the parent comment of "there's no benefit to getting the vaccine if you've had covid".
No one single metropolitan area should have a grip on the industry that is gradually consuming the entire economy.
Comments like these oversimplify the immune system. Your real-world protection from illness isn't based solely on the amount of neutralizing antibodies that are circulating in your veins as a result of either infection or vaccination.

It would not be efficient for the immune system to keep antibodies circulating in large numbers for every pathogen you've ever been exposed to. Instead, the immune system generates longer-lasting memory T and B cells, which allow it to recognize pathogens it has been exposed to in the past and more quickly produce antibodies to fight them if necessary.

Most individuals who have been vaccinated or recovered from infection will have protection against SARS-CoV-2 even after the antibodies produced immediately following vaccination or infection have waned and become undetectable.

The evidence to date suggests that the long-lasting memory T and B cell responses are stronger and broader in individuals who have recovered from natural infection, while those who have been vaccinated have higher levels of neutralizing antibodies that wane quickly.

Ultimately, whether you're talking about vaccination or natural infection, the problem with your statement "the test to accurately measure that the people indeed have the antibodies in sufficient strength" is that there is no such test because there is no validated model to correlate titers of neutralizing antibodies to protection against infection and illness.
Keep in mind Michael Seibel is a co-founder of Twitch. Twitch is on extreme end of the monetization scale where it's success depended entirely on whether they could add free users fast enough to justify sufficient investment to bridge the gap until they could monetize via ads.

The other end of the spectrum is enterprise software. In between you have self-service SaaS, premium consumer, and freemium consumer products. Each of these has very different requirements for what traction look like, all of it significantly less a pure ad-driven monetization like Twitch.

The other dimension is how big you need to be to be considered successful. VCs need massive scale, and the bigger you grow the harder it is to maintain momentum, so it's gotta look really juicy at early stage to justify the growth. YC is not a VC, but as the premier incubator that feeds into the SV VC ecosystem they definitely have that lens.

My background is a combination of horticulture + molecular biology = plant breeding/genome engineering. I have other prior experiences as well and intend on switching my career once again. I've always been interested in tech and started programming in my younger teen years. My next step will probably be something cloud-related since I love learning about it and believe it's only going to grow exponentially.
Well you did surprise me, I didnt expect Finland and Norway to be so low. Although these along with Iceland are outliers in Europe to say the least and Sweden is well in the middle. The baltics is comparable to Sweden.

But the reason we have more deaths than our neighbours is not because of no lockdowns, Finland was also very lenient. A _massive_ proportion of all of our deaths were from the nursing homes. The thing we did really bad was to not have any way to check the workers in the nursing homes for covid, which they did in Norway I know for sure and very likely in Finland. Had we done that then we likely would have the same as our neighbours, but don't pin it on lockdowns, they DON'T work.
I think any argument that tries to boil down success into either nature or nurture is a bit of a futile exercise - the boring and non-controversial answer is always that it is a combination of both.

No need to get all riled up about fairness.

CNN may have a slant. OANN will literally run with any nonsense they stumble on Facebook.

That’s why CNN issues retractions when they get a story wrong and OANN doubles down because it serves their political interests. OANN is far right Pravda.

It's just off the electric and waste disposal grid (and sometimes not even that).

Not "off the grid" in a fuller self-sufficient sustainable way.

And there are many people who do live in today's world "off the grid" in a fuller sense of the term - far more than the description of "off the grid" living here. People living in rural villages, island dwellings, and so on, in Europe, for example, can be far more off the grid than above (self-sustainable, that is, growing most of their own food, doing with less, hardly owning a TV or a smartphone, and so on), even if they still have a power line.

This includes not just old rural families and such, but also young people in a "back to the village" movement that's been going on.

Clinical haematologist / cancer researcher here. I work mainly 80% clinical work and try to fit in research into the rest of the week and evenings. My PhD worked on bigger data than could be analysed in the regular biological sciences way (excel + stats software), so I learnt R. That led me down a rabbit hole of learning linux, bash, bit of Go, python etc.. I can't remember how I ended up here. I think maybe the instructor for the Go course mentioned it. I stayed because I find the science-based articles interesting and I like to draw comparisons across different disciplines.

The quality of the discourse is high here, so I'll stay as long as that's the case!
I suppose I should have stressed "risk compared to other forms of power generation with similar outputs". All forms of power generation come with risk.

I used to live next to one of these! It was a useful landmark: turn right at the tower. There was also an underground bunker next to it that someone bought in recent years and attempted to make into living quarters.
One of the things that bothers me about the startup ecosystem is how much it's oriented around VC. There's nothing wrong with VC, but you also have to understand that they have a specific business model and are looking for only a specific type of startup to invest in. They want the companies that are small enough that they can buy a big chunk for relatively cheap, and ambitious enough that they might possibly have ultra 1000x unicorn growth. They know that most will fail; that's fine, they intend to make it all up on the superstar.

It's perfectly fine to start a company that's only going to grow 10x or 20x best-case. VCs won't be interested in you, but that's fine, you don't necessarily need investment.
I list two examples (as does Doctorow) of things that are pretty clearly bad for users: 1. attention marketplaces, 2: DRM. I am falling for no such trap I really don’t understand your angle there. My suggested solution to 1 is rather than try to regulate Facebook, which I agree is hand wavey, just ban the business model altogether because it demonstrably breeds machines and software that harm users. The “good guy” user attention businesses are collateral, yes, but this is a move to protect us not our ad marketplaces and the hypothesis is that the incentives just aren't aligned for there to exist a “good guy” ad platform. (If one exists please show me so I can understand the extent of any collateral harm I might be advocating.) I like this solution because it’s principled and specifically not hand wavey. The collateral seems worth it IMO. Same with DRM.
Von Neumann was raised in the absolute best possible environment for intellectual development.

It's certainly a meeting of nature and nurture.
I'm not following your argument, what do you see as the difference between regulation and outlawing something?
GA is huge in Europe. There are small airfields dotted all over Spain, France and Italy (probably elsewhere, I only have personal knowledge in those countries) and many aero clubs and communities operating. I suspect that in this, and in cheese, you may have found that a language barrier prevented you finding the information that you were seeking? Even then, the U.K. (still geographically part of Europe!) has a vibrant GA scene and cheese scene as well as a strong hobbyist culture in general.

Subscriber owned, i.e. subscribing involves buying a voting share in the enterprise. Endowed. Donor-driven is just one among many non-profit models.
A database being relational is (mostly) orthogonal to it being ACID. ACID is generally a property of the underlying storage engine (a key-value store, generally).
But I thought a lot of these massive exchanges were built for the physical switching devices, which must have been completely miniaturised when they switched to digital.
In practice is there really any difference between allowing a client to try 10 passwords before 'lock out' (say no more attempts for 10 minutes), or try 5 passwords before hand.
I am a bassoon player in a professional ochestra. I have been programming since I was 7, and apart from building a few small programs for small companies run out of a garage and one place where I got paid for consulting in a small common lisp project (although I am more of a scheme user these days), very little of what I have written has left any traces online.

Anyway, now I program to relax. Recently I have been working on this: https://git.sr.ht/~bjoli/goof-loop/
I noticed that part, and I suppose what I was wondering more specifically was if “many useful additions” might mean powerful tools for developers or something less ambitious.
Perhaps they mean BT Beacon advertising? A small BT device can broadcast a notification to other BT devices nearby. It is used in some places for marketing.
Crude.

Why force it legally, when they could just have the private news sector de facto mirror what the establishment says (complete with a faux-choice between two parties), like in the US?
Jack of all trades here. I lurk for tech news, snarky comments about corporate drama, niche blog links, interesting tools. I wish there was a HN for most of my passions.
I just did that this morning.

I probably should have been an easy conversion. I went directly looking for a certain kind of thing. I was in a state of feeling frustrated about not having that thing. I found a company that seemed initially promising. But, as soon as I found out that I would have to give them my email address in order to find our more about their service, I just closed the browser tab without a second thought.

I didn't have a conscious reason for doing so at the time, but, in retrospect, it's probably because I strongly associate that kind of aggressive conversion funnel with a poor - oftentimes even emotionally abusive - offboarding experience.
The last sentence seems to be speculation.
Arguably facebook provides useful, valuable services and also causes some harm. Lets suppose the good it does outweighs the harm. That's not a good argument to simply accept the harm it does. The benefits and harm are not an inextricably linked package, it should be possible to mitigate the harm without eliminating the benefits Facebook provides to people.

> Otherwise, how do they know they are giving the money to the correct person?

I guess all those cameras in the post office can be connected to databases containing the necessary information. I am sure the federal government probably has at least a scrap of data about any person who spends enough time in the country to have a paycheck issued to them. Maybe they're using all the spying and tracking data for something good this time?

(I don't really believe it, but it is possible. If someone in the federal government wanted to do ID-less check cashing, I bet they could scrounge together the necessary data and software contracts.)
Isn't that the goal, though? The best arguments I've heard for casual ad-blocking is that you can't trust the code running through ad networks. If we take the ad networks out of the equation (first-party analytics and ads), I'm much more okay with that.
I'd be curious to hear from someone that feels strongly about blocking first-party front end tracking. I generally assume that whatever website I am on would have a good sense of what I am up to just based on server side logs. Sure, if I block 1p logging they might not have a down to the second understanding of how long I am impressing on something, but overall I feel the point is moot.
This reminds me of when Boeing moved their headquarters to Chicago. HQ lost touch with the operations, and I see the 737Max as a direct consequence. Tesla's safety record is already pretty shoddy... I don't see this going well.

Yes, I for one long for the days when rich people can do whatever they want and let the rest of us deal with the downsides.

That is what deregulation proponents are calling and it’s why the promote binary thinking rather than pushing for nuanced regulation — kind of like how you know the proponents of that hill don’t care about preventing abortions because if they did they wouldn’t block real sex education and contraception would be universally available.
Thank you, that's very helpful to know! It makes perfect sense, too.

I wonder if I can abuse the pack file format. Mua ha ha. Probably not but learning about Git innards pays dividends even if the experiments don't work out.
> "This is such garbage."

I assume you're actually referring to yourself with the above comments and not the person on Twitter. It boggles my mind how we aren't even 100 years away from a time where certain people were forced to wear the "Star of David" before those same people were murdered enmasse by the rest of society all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government mandated it.

Now let's set aside the elephant in the room for a moment, where sane people realize the vaxxed should have nothing to fear from the unvaxxed if the miracle vaccines do indeed do what they say on the box, then all we're left with is a group of people, that includes yourself, who are seconds away from again morally justifying the mass murder of other citizens all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government has again provided them with the necessary moral justification for those murders via government mandates.

And you think YOU are the good guy in this situation? I started this comment by quoting you, so I'll finish it the same way:

> "... you're an asshole."
Advertising as in broadcasting, not as in marketing.

Some Bluetooth LE devices use advertising as a way to constantly send out payloads without a direct receiver.
>I actually tried to get a landline. Only thing available was a a DOCSIS modem for encapsulating VoIP traffic.

And yet, the landlines still exist, fully built out right to the homes they serve. They're owned by (in theory) the US public which paid to construct that entire network. Because of the years of use and the need for universal service, it's still the most extensive network infrastructure that exists in the US, period.

But access to them has been closed off by corporations who don't want competition and don't have a problem paying to get the laws in the US changed to suit their profits.

They don't sell ordinary copper land lines themselves any more because selling such a cheap product would compete with their higher priced "low end" offerings.

They don't let anyone else use the POTS network because that would also compete with them. You can transmit a lot of data over a plain old pair of copper wires point to point, can't have anyone but the phone companies doing that because it would "cause problems" for the POTS network.

They've claimed monopolies almost everywhere, subsidies from the government and tax breaks from the states in exchange for providing "internet access" to places that don't have good connections, like rural areas.

There's no one else the country can ask to do that sort of thing because they fight against allowing anyone else access to the network, yet whenever they're asked to produce, they claim they need to be given more money. Wait a few years and repeat, over and over.

Telecommunications companies in the US are some of the most corrupt organizations that exist. It's astonishing that people ignore them as long as they have good cell signal.

In that case, we have the combination of the worst of these two societies in South America.

We are enemies of our bosses, our hobbies are ridiculous expensive (unless it is football), and at the same time individualism is punished, risk-taking and private business are punished by all sides, it seems like only illegal business actually work, and both media and people around are trying to push their religious beliefs on us.

So, yes, it can always be worse.
Thanks, love the post. I agree with everything you said. Recently, I was in an interview for a company and they gave me three requirements for a versioning tool I should design conceptually. I started with the data models and then the backend / frontend communication. I wasn't told who this versioning tool should be for, how many people would use it and other important domain related things, so I said I'll concept a simple solution that would work fine for a group of people but would have to be refactored if we'd want to scale up and support thousands or more connections simultaneously, I was told "sure, go for it".. Once I finished I said that I was confident that a versioning tool has way more complexity and requirements than described initially within those three sentences and that 60 minutes to design such system in a stable way is optimistic.

A week after the interview I was told that they don't want to continue with me because I didn't ask enough questions and that my solution wouldn't work if millions of people would use the system at the same time. I think I avoided a bullet
Interesting.

My friend just put Windows 11 on his (original) Surface Go (Pentium Gold 4415Y, 8GB RAM, 128GB), and he cannot stop raving about how fast it is. He said he was considering putting Linux on it, but he isn't feeling the need to now. To be sure, that's not a 5400rpm desk, though, yeah, I haven't had to suffer through one of those in over a decade!

I'd agree with the general statement but some game subs are the _most_ toxic (I'm looking at you, /r/TheLastOfUs2).
There's no automated way to do it. You have to send a message to customer service asking to have your account closed.

You may need to be persistent. It's been a while, so maybe this has improved, but they hassled me a lot in the process when I did it.
Under US law, EULAs are binding per Vernor v. Autodesk. This does not apply to the EU which may forbid certain restrictions in EULAs.

Generally US law gives primacy to contractual agreements, and the EULA is a contract in which you give up some of your rights in exchange for not being sued for copyright infringement for copying the software from disk into RAM. This is copying under copyright law and the 1976 Copyright Act does not protect copies made for personal use.

Note that this does not apply to open source software; OSS licenses are bare licenses under common law and do not have the force of contract.

Proprietary software without an EULA cannot legally be used except by the copyright owner. That's why EULAs exist.
>It's perfectly fine to start a company that's only going to grow 10x or 20x best-case. VCs won't be interested in you, but that's fine, you don't necessarily need investment.

Hmm...I can't remember how I got here. Currently in Federal government. Grew up building my own computers, lan parties, etc. Lots of friends ended up in the tech world/start up scene. Lots of overlap between federal gov and technology.

HN also reminds me a little of the old digg, and a bunch of other early 2000's online communities.

I probably got here through a PG essay or mention on a tech podcast.
It's literally just 'reddit.com' though, surely if that were the case (not that you didn't want people to block it) you would use `/metrics` or whatever path.
The AT&T Long Lines network predates the use of digital radio for telecommunications. It used analog FDM to carry multiple calls. These towers have lasted because they, and the radio equipment, were designed to survive a nuclear war. (Another reason the fiber transition happened quickly was that fiber was more survivable.)

There are many new microwave links being deployed now using modulation techniques for digital data.
Installed manjaro Linux as a dual boot. Loving it.
No guarantuees about anything obviously. The idea and presentation are funny though.
