I worked for a government contractor and I understand that behavior completely. The person you spoke with was tasked specifically with damage control. I am positive _somebody_ was grateful for your input, but those people aren't tasked with chatting on the phone. I know because I was dispatched for fixing and quantifying the scope of a similar issue, where a URL was allowing users to download treatment plans of other users. Being healthcare this is taken rather serious. While I was happy to fix the problem and grateful someone reported it, I was tasked with regularly reporting the progress of my work and scope of the breach throughout the incident. My only irk with the person who reported it was that they literally called the governor of the state after casually browsing hundreds of treatment plans, when they could've just called IT support. But yeah, I didn't talk to to them, a low-level IT lackey was given that task while I fixed the problem.

Oy vey, that was a mess though. Breaches happen, everyone knows it, even companies dealing with PHI that are beholden to crazy HIPAA fines. My report ended up conflicting with a bunch of dates a former supervisor, who at that point wasn't even involved in the department, had knowingly misrepresented to the state. After the fix was merged and I documented the whole scope of the breach, I go and look at the emails and reports on the matter. She's gone told the state all about the scope of the breach, misquoted release dates of the fixes, just minimized a bunch of things with which my report directly conflicted. This person who wasn't in our department anymore shouldn't have even been involved in the first place, yet here I am looking at publishing a report that'll land her in trouble. It put me in a difficult spot. I didn't want to get her in trouble and I thought about misrepresenting my own report. In the end I figured she made her bed, my report was the definitive statement on the matter and her emails were largely reactive so maybe they'd just forget what she said. It was, and they did.

The most important thing you need to do during a breach is be honest. On the other end be vocal and trust in the fact what you're doing is ultimately helpful. The government doesn't want to fine businesses. The only thing that'll end up screwing a company is if they're found to be negligent or dishonest. Negligence is easy to avoid because all you need to do is reasonably try to fix the problem once you've been made aware of it. Dishonesty on the other hand is a foot... that like a diaper-bound chubby baby, some people can't help shoving into their mouths. Don't throw IT under the bus though man, even if that guy on the phone was rude there were some good people on the matter. Some people just don't know how to act when they're caught up in a problem.
This is a good point. There are a lot of reasons you might get a small boost of productivity after starting a new therapy approach.

7 days isn't enough time for the vast majority of people to know whether the app is doing anything at all for them.

"Spend a week playing with something new and interesting that you might just hyperfocus on, and then impulsively pay us for a year's access because this time you won't lose interest in two months" feels laser-targeted to prey on ADHD behaviors.
they exist, although I imagine they are becoming rarer as typing skills are becoming part of the standard elementary/middle-school curriculum.

My dad was a hunt-n-peck programmer all of his life. Electrical Engineer PhD, often programming in fortran or c (although all his c code was actually just fortran too). Two-finger typer all of his life.

His son: 140-160 wpm on Kinesis Advantage 2, thanks to typing classes in middle school.
I think twitter is the most toxic.

I have been uncomfortable on twitter to find enclaves where people are mentally ill, and have found others to exacerbate their behaviour and thinking.
For me, it's the dishonesty of facebook and instagram. The whole culture seems to be based around lying about misrepresenting how good your life is.

I love seeing a post about something that made a friend happy, but so much of the content on facebook is so obviously not an honest post about something that made somebody happy, but rather something they felt should have made them happy, or something that somebody else would be jealous of, or worst of all a brand trying to co-opt the "something that made me happy" style of posting, that it's ruined the few honest moments of joy.
HN also has a "favorite" button you can use to save things for later.
It's very difficult to say because the waterfall of cascading liquidations would shut down exchanges. It would take quite a while for things to settle down enough for a real fiat market to exist. The whole market is propped up by stacked leverage.
> There is often no other way to get from person A to person B than to use Facebook, or from person C to D without Twitter, ... . Yes, there are various social networks, but there was also various railway barons

Is that really accurate, though?

How many people use a single social network? And regarding market power, very few companies do their online marketing on a single social network; they usually have a general strategy that they deploy on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

It's not about trading pairs, those can easily switch to USDC or other stables. The big challenge will be the futures markets which are nearly exclusively with USDT. If tether collapses so do all those futures, which presumably will cause chaotic algorithmic driven effects as hedging positions evaporate.
I'm currently trying to convince people that a managed k8s service is not that "simple", and that we can't "just spin up another cluster" without a great deal of operational overhead.

Some of the things that might still be needed in managed k8s instances: better ingress with ingress-nginx, cert-manager, monitoring/logging/alerting, tuning the alerts, integration with company SSO, security hardening.

If it's a multi-tenant cluster: LimitRanges/ResourceQuotas, NetworkPolicies, scripts to manage namespaces and roles, PodSecurityPolicies (or equivalent), onboarding offboarding procedures.

I'm sure you'd need similar things to have a proper production Nomad cluster too, so your point still stands. But at least for EKS/GKE clusters, they're pretty bare-bones.
Cue someone talking about equal representation for men for these doctoral degrees :crickets:
Yup exactly. Comparisons are important, but you also really want to avoid building an “us vs them” culture.
So many people these days instead of creating separate account to some websites (login/password) the use instead integrated Login via Facebook button. I tried to educate friends and family not to use this feature even for the reason that if their FB account will be blocked they will loose access to many other websites. However many people give up because it's not so convenient as to just clicking one FB button.

You can't actually believe that running around outside in 90 degree weather as a young child with or without a face mask has no material difference in potential harm. Have you actually ever worn a mask in the heat doing physical activity?

Yes, part of my problem was a few of these systems had been through multiple upgrades: 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 20.04. Still, these are all LTS releases. I was able to fix all of these problems by dropping to single user mode. But I've been working with Linux since 1993...
Show HN: PlagueOS – Hardened Void Linux
This project is a Void musl build with hardening configurations aimed at mitigating classes of exploitation that plague standard GNU/Linux systems.

We will soon include a kernel with PaX, grsecurity patchsets (plus additional patchsets), and gutted modules. Please read the feature list for more details on hardening measures. We have a publicly searchable matrix chat as well. Feel free to stop in and leave any critiques.
Sure, but was anyone really suggesting that we somehow create disembodied people? That seems to be the other side of the dialectical coin from immaterial souls, which are precisely what most Hard Problem disbelievers deny.
> I am supremely interested in this business idea. ADHD is an incredibly large population and frequently disadvantaged in ways they and others are incapable of seeing.

This reads....shitty. "I'm interested in business ideas for large frequently disadvantaged populations"... I mean...are you interested in ways to make money off cancer patients, too?

Stuff like this app needs to be part of a diverse treatment plan, not some profit center for an exploitative corporation.

> The last ADHD related thread I saw on HN was the worst shit show I have seen on HN filled with big tears and many narcistic people injecting unrelated defenses against personal attacks that didn't exist.

There's something a bit ironic about this statement...
That was my thought as well. As someone who has written several web frontends in Go, I want to know what this tool [1] does differently.

[1] Not even sure whether to call it a framework or a library.
> Again, you have to look at the odds: that person is far more likely to miss work from getting COVID than getting vaccinated — very few people have significant reactions requiring multiple days off of work — and most employers are allowing leave above the legal minimum

It's not you or I that have to look at the odds though, it's our hypothetical person. Will they make the same calculation we would?

The point about mandated sick leave is a good one, definitely helps.

> Also, let's not forget the context of this thread: a quote about New York business' vaccination status checks. That person barely getting by working two part-time jobs probably isn't spending their time on the indoor dining, bars, gyms, etc. where that requirement applies:

I don't think I can get behind this part. Maybe somebody takes them out on a date once in a while, their friends want to buy them a drink, they need a quick bite on the way to work. Little things that help make that kind of life a little more bearable. We can't just say well they couldn't afford these things anyway, so what does it matter if we don't allow them in.
But all of that has maintenance overhead, and whether hover or translational flight dominate the energy consumption determines which to optimize… there’s no great efficiency loss to going fixed pitch unless these two flight regimes have near equal average energy usage per flight. Additionally: Variable pitch is one thing, but swashplate flight is another. There’s no significant efficiency reason to change blade pitch multiple times per second. Much slower variable pitch propellers, aka on horizontal flight aircraft, is much lower maintenance and overall complexity than a swashplate based helicopter.
You are making a recipe search app without actually paying attention to the information retrieval part of it, which is arguably the most important thing!

Using any sort of backend that tokenizes (and why not, lowercases and stems) and does the searching for you is what you want as a first step. ES, or any of the newer fast search engines that aren't that concerned about relevance would be good first steps, then depending on how much you could grow, you're going to have quite tricky but enjoyable journey to optimizing for relevance!
Yeah it was pretty well documented that Snap's behavior on Android (literally taking a screenshot of the viewfinder) was way worse than on iOS, and features like e.g. video would always come out on iOS before Android
I didn't say "from the brain". I also didn't say "emerging". I mentioned the nervous system as a whole, and physiology (eg: internal bodily control systems) to boot.
I tweet everything I make or think https://twitter.com/levelsio almost every day
Slight nitpick.

The argument isn't, "so I don't have to change my behaviors."

The argument is, OTHER people are too weak to change their behaviors, so we need to have the government regulate THEIR behavior. (The greater good.)

It's bad enough to be lazy and want someone else to fix your problems. It's almost worse to decide you know what other people's problems are, and decide what needs to happen for them. (Or phrased differently... What needs to happen to them.)
I notice that Engineering and Math/CS are still heavily male-dominated, though.

So are these departments particularly hostile to women, or are women less interested in pursuing these subjects? If so -- in either case, actually -- why might that be?
My stance has always been "Tether is a scam, but no worse than the US dollar and normal banking fractional reserves... and even if it collapses, who cares, there are other stablecoins not built on a house of cards."

I don't see that stance changing.
One advantage in flying - you are pretty much told EXACTLY how to do many things.

This is what makes me think flying will be automatable. There are a lot of checklists already written for almost everything. Ie, electrical power up, preflights, (CDU preflight?) before taxi before takeoff etc.

Runaway trim was a memory item (!). ie, so important you have to have it memorized.

What's interesting is that because of a jammed actuator motor in an earlier US situation (way back) they have this language about a "maximum two person effort will not break the cables"

https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_jY4nvLmuE4/XQ_n-FaocOI/AAAAAAAAG...

This is because you have to basically break out of a clutch and friction condition if a motor seized which aside from the MCAS crashes could require pretty large efforts.

There is evidence of somewhat routine stab trim issues, at least 1x per year mistrim stuff, and more often inop etc. Before these crashes I don't think it was considered even a very serious concern because pilots would handle it in ordinary course of things.
> The trauma is actually a bit higher in drone operators from the moral injury aspect. When you teleoperate a drone you cannot say to yourself that you killed to protect your life and that of your buddies.

That's a really interesting insight. I wonder how well "I did it to protect my country" stands in for those other rationalizations (this is to say, how effective is propaganda at mitigating that effect?). I mean, after the drone murdered a bunch of aid-workers & kids recently (but before we knew that's who ended up dead), our media & political figures were out preaching that they were saving our troops and the vulnerable Afghanis with our drone strikes.

> Unless the CIA is involved with the designs there is a small upside that the robot dogs probably wouldn't be capable of rape at least.

Yeah, that's very true and that's something I hadn't considered, and I appreciate that you added it to the context of this conversation. This just seems like a weird way to deal with the fact that soldiers do a lot of wrong when we're all told that they're fighting for what's right.
> Young people can die from COVID but they won't die from COVID vaccine shots. [...] Individual cases of people having strong reactions to the COVID vaccine is expected and not harmful to the individuals.

This is misinformation. The other poster already pointed out how vaccines are linked to myocarditis in young and otherwise healthy people, and a recent study pointed out that this is at least partly is linked to how the vaccines are administered (no aspiration->spike protein injected into blood vessels->heart damage).

Stop claiming that the vaccines cannot be harmful. This only reduces trust in science when evidence of harm mounts, because interventions almost always cause some kind of harm. The question is always how much harm will come from the intervention vs. the probability of getting infected and suffering complications from it. The result of this calculation is not at all obvious, and the widespread push for interventions and damn the consequences is stupid.
I think the price rise in advance of the annoucement may have more to do with the approval of bitcoin ETFs, there are some news about that..
Fair enough, I guess there are other battles still at play. Let’s see where this goes :-)
> Socialism + corruption (and that the only kind we get) is way worse than you can imagine. Especially for the poor.

Can imagine still don’t see it. Communism + corruption, sure.
What sort of role is "Chief Technical Pilot"?

I feel like they should be going after Boeing Co and not after individuals, except individuals at the top of the scheme.
The real crime is perpetrated by those choosing Twitter to tell a long story broken into individual tweets.

You're both wrong. Did we even read the same article? This is about baseball.
The Fairphone 4 is only IP54 so waterproofing is likely not an issue, I've never used the audio jack on my phone so I really don't mind.
At some point, the structure will collapse or blow over. When that happens depends on the order in which you work, and the weather conditions, but the outcome is at least well-defined and conceptually graspable.
By finishing your assigned work exceptionally fast, you can focus actual effort on the "sharpening the saw" aspects of your role and/or the organization, and helping others.

Those are the workers who (in a competent organization) are promoted.
I'd take that further. When I felt lonely sometimes, I'd boot up social media and see what people are up to. Now, without social media, when I feel lonely I'll text friends. Unsurprisingly, it's more healthy. And when I reach out more, they reach out more. And instead of getting a button click invitation, people will text or call with an invitation and we'll actually talk a bit too. Turns out them telling me a thing and me telling them I like it is more fulfilling than facebook telling me they did a thing, and me clicking a like button.
I was a hunt-n-peck programmer because I learned how to program as I was learning how to type.
I've spent some time working with governments (and private businesses to a lesser extent) where tech strategy is ultimately managed by someone who has absolutely no understanding of technology. Leaders often have this "series of tubes" level understanding but still insist on actively directing or commenting on technical issues, like this guy.

Anyway, my point is that there is really a lot of underlying professionalism among developers, security folks, administrators and other technology professionals. People are often being managed by those who only vaguely understand what they are managing, have no sense of security or even the basic underlying knowledge to have security explained to them. Although there are lots of breaches, we still generally have working and reasonably secure technology, and it's mostly due to the conscientiousness of the lower level people working on it, rather than anything explicit from the top.
The total is only 54% to 46% - not too uneven, I'd be very worried if the imbalance was much worse though as it indicates our education system isn't serving males well for whatever reason (the reason might not be the fault of the education system).

However it is very insightful to notice that females are only 25% in engineering, and 76% in public administration. Those are the worst imbalances, but there are others almost as bad. There is a lot of work to do in getting real balance.
From my experience, I have found that therapy is only as useful as the work you are willing to put into it. If you have trouble opening up, interacting with people in general or committing to changing yourself, your ultimate goals with therapy will become vague, and without well-defined goals the entire system falls apart.

I don't know what to feel when people around me say I ought to talk to a therapist, leaving it as the only possible option for my mental salvation or outright refusing to listen to me about certain topics by saying the therapist needs to hear it, not them, only for the therapist to say they don't know how to help me. That is because I went just because someone told me to, because they did not want to listen to me, so I'm not motivated enough to get the most out of each session.

I started going with the intention of receiving CBT and I'm not sure if what we do can even be called that anymore after all this time. About the only reason I see my therapist each week is to have one person who is willing to listen to me in person instead of zero, and nothing particularly changes as a result. If seeing someone in person each week who is actually willing to listen is all that prevents me from becoming depressed, then it is a net positive result, but it is not life-changing in any real regard because of my lack of motivation or inability to properly utilize therapy.
I’m guessing this just reflects the declining usefulness of a PhD in the modern world. I received one in 2001 and never used it because the prospects for an academic were terrible and they don’t seem to have improved since.
I think it would be the opposite. tether failing would force ppl to convert to BTC, ETH to preserve $.
Ethics of AI – A Course from Finland
As the complexity of our every day devices increase, less and less people are capable of contributing anything meaningful to an OS like Linux, let alone in their free time. It also doesn't help that the abundance of high level languages discourages learning about computer internals in younger generations.

Or that we indeed became softies lol.
There are nasal covid vaccines in development. I suspect some of the hesitant would take them, but I've talked to anti-vaxxers who still would not even take a nasal vaccine.
YMMV; I have never successfully gotten ADHD CBT reimbursed by insurance. The $8700 is only for in network care and there are no reputable in-network providers that specialize in ADHD in my town.

I went to two in-network LMFTs that listed ADHD as a field they treated and they were complete shit. It was basic talk therapy with generic organizational suggestions like "have you considered keeping a todo list"

I went for 6 weeks with each just to make sure it wasn't just them establishing a baseline (and 6 weeks of copay was cheaper than a single visit to an out-of-network provider). In retrospect, the 6 hours of lost time was not worth it even if the visits had been free.

I have paid over $10k out-of-pocket in a single calendar year ($220 per session) to a therapist that actually helped and $0 was reimbursed by my insurance. I do live in an expensive area (SoCal) but not NYC expensive.

[edit]

None of this is saying I think the App from TFA will be useful; just refuting that everyone who is insured can get ADHD CBT treatment covered by insurance.
Not necessarily, it can involve web assembly.
The issue is primarily that some folks have moved all of their online connections onto facebook - they've put all of their eggs in that basket. If you want to keep up with them at all you need to at least have the bearest presence on the platform.

This is less about that dude from highschool and more about your cousin.
Some stylistic remarks:

1. If you're submitting your own stuff, put "Show HN" in the title to indicate that you're affiliated.

2. The first 50% of the website is just impenetrable marketing copy. I've read it and I have no idea what's going on, even though I'm quite familiar with both Go and frontend development. Maybe replace 50% of the marketing copy with a short example of "here's a problem that's very tough to solve with stdlib, here's how to solve it in 20 lines of code with this tool".

3. More generally speaking: Your project is small, so style your website accordingly. An entire section with "dry numbers" where several of them are single-digit is just bizarre. That space could have been used for a second actual code example.
