I was aware of that as I clicked into the actual documents, and it does seem reasonable to me if left just there.

My concern is moreso with the courts at this point. Nothing stops the fbi from fabricating a crime or having an agent go undercover and post something potentially harmful which could could be used to obtain a warrant on these broad keywords.

Basically: wide keyword searches periodically with overlapping time frames gets you continuous data while making it seem just like a standard home depot purchase and video review warrant. I'll admit it's tin foil, but my default assumption these days is that the gov is already sniffing any and all data; their challenge comes in generating legal pretense for having it when they want to take action or get caught with it.

Ask HN: What’s your goto website for finding work?
Unfortunately, my current company has an RTO plan I disagree with. During the pandemic, my home life has been switched around and need to be home for the kids as my wife finished her degree. Currently I’m in the process of updating my resume and such.

What is your goto site for jobs?

And if you don’t use a job board / site, what methods do you use to find employers?
As noted in the article, PC Health Check's "primary use has been to analyze a device's hardware to check if it's compatible with Windows 11." A wide range of Windows 10 users will see this check permanently and uselessly 'failing' for them whenever they open Windows Update.

The non-crazy, non-simple faction of vaccine resistance argues about the likelihood of ADE, which is where the vaccine primes the immune system to have a larger reaction against some types of future infection. The typical dwell time before effect is something like 12-18 months.

Argument goes along the lines that "all" previous coronovirus vaccines were found to have ADE effects. It took a long time for them to show up, but the effect was large and the trials were abandoned.

So apparently we're still all going to die. Spring/Summer 2022 (northern hemisphere time) will be the cataclysm.

I'm inadequately gnorant to evaluate the argument on merits, but I find it interesting because it fits the classic definition of "bullshit".
Inventors regularly sign over their inventions to the businesses that they work for, such that the businessmen are able to make business models out of them that the engineers will scale. To be honest, I don't think you know much of how the patent system works to substantiate your comment.

> The bridge service is strictly reducing the security of messages.

Perhaps in some sense, yes, but in precisely the same sense that you reduce the security of your messages each time you send a new message, or each time you start a conversation with a new person, or each time any of your contacts reads a message on the train where someone might be looking over their shoulder. None of these things strike me as a meaningful reduction in security, at least in the threat models that are appropriate for most average people (namely where you don't expect to be personally targeted by an attacker with resources).
The inflexibility of a gold standard is a benefit. More gold or an increase in gold value is required to represent greater wealth. The gold can be traded for or mined. However, the gold standard ensures that the dollar you earn today maintains purchasing power for as long as you care to keep it. Your gold backed dollar can't be made worthless in a generation by the excess of politicians seeking money, power, and control.

Politicians are people subject to all the same emotions as you or I. Money and power are powerful motivations for corruption. There is access to a lot of both in government. The gold standard was a check on greed at the government level and in turn a restriction on the power government had to manipulate the economy for the benefit of a few.

It certainly reads very oddly. But from the linked article, it seems risk of myocarditis is what researchers were looking at when they did that modeling...
"In older boys and young men, the vaccine has been linked to myocarditis. It has occurred in somewhere around 1 in 10,000 boys and men between the ages of 16 and 19 who received a second dose, though estimates of the risk vary."
Well, web.dev is owned by Google after all
Not knowing about the ability of it to do that is not evidence that the ability doesn't exist. You were already trusting them not to do this before, since they had full access to the texts and images as the developer of the app.

The development of systems that can recognize these kinds of images predates this and you likely have been previously aware of them already existing and the ease of deployment of them.

Trust of Apple is already all that stood between them being abused and them not being abused.

I don't really understand what argument is being made here.
It continues to be astonishing that they will so eagerly piss away what little good will they accumulated while Google was being the bad guy.

More and more, I'm beginning to think that a society in which there is widespread use of birth control and in which the majority of women enter the labor force and work full time in an office is not going to be able to maintain replacement level fertility rates.

In which case, the future belongs to societies where women don't work and birth control is stigmatized.

It could be that there is a reason why the world was dominated by large patriarchal societies other than some sort of accident of history.

If that's true, then a society with lots of gig jobs or work at home jobs might help alleviate the problem. There could be other creative solutions, like reimagining higher education to give people time to marry and have kids before college. Other approaches are also possible. Whatever the reason, the secular societies will need to scramble if they don't want the world of the future to be dominated by orthodox religious populations.

Fair points. I would argue that for most people a simple master-slave setup with manual failover will produce far fewer headaches than a "serverless" architecture.

When you are big enough to worry about the other issues, you surely are big enough to handle the requirements in-house. I see the dependence on some specific companies as the bigger threat to reliability.

What do you mean by private property? Do you mean that word in a Marxian sense? Or do you mean it in a classical/neoclassical sense and thus projecting non-Marxist economics on Marxist economics?

No one believes that foreign investment is anything more than a necessary evil - being reliant on foreign investment means that you can't mobilize your own capital.

The idea that markets are necessary for some industries is not at all incompatible with Marxist economics. Lenin's side of Marxist economics would be fine with markets as long as the property was owned cooperatively, until a post-scarcity society.

Stalin's turn towards state planning was out of perceived necessity, not because he was less patient. He, and others in the party, decided that it was acceptable to sacrifice overall economic development in order to develop the heavy industries necessary for war with capitalist countries, that he thought was inevitable if they were too weak. That, and he thought agricultural development was too slow. While it was a failure for agricultural output, it was objectively a massive success in its primary goal, and development of heavy industries at the speed of the NEP would have probably led to the USSR losing WW2.

I thought I addressed that in my original comment: I _could_ go to each of my contacts and explain why I don't want them to do things like use the cool new Element service with Signal. But 1) I (finally) have a lot of contacts using Signal, so that would be a pain to manage; 2) to me, the entire idea of Signal is that I can pretty much set it and forget it on any relatively-modern smartphone for friends, family, etc. and not have to worry about anything but the biennial phone migration for my mother.

In the end it isn't a huge deal, as most conversations are extremely innocuous, and those I care about I'll take the time to verify. But after all the trouble to proselytize Signal, I get nervous about large public projects that could, in my opinion, strictly reduce the security of my secure messaging system.
At my place the Monarchs (a couple weeks ago) were all attracted to a plant I haven't properly identified.

It looks like queen anne's lace--crowns of many tiny, white flowers. We have a few similar-looking species in the region (Ozarks), and it could be any of them.

Harmful, for this purpose all along, is that the company actively spent money to develop something to deal with what they deemed to be a problem. But they then sat on it ONLY because of the money that problem was actually making them.

If they didn't deem it to be harmful, they wouldn't have developed the "Fix" in the first place. That would have been a waste of money, and this is all about money.
> If every political decision in the US before the Civil War was made with the aim of preserving slave state power, why is it the South that left the Union? Couldn't they have just used their power?

They left because they were worried about losing their power — the northern population grew much faster than the south, and as the country expanded west most of the settlers were from free states, bringing attitudes about slavery with them. Things had reached a point where even deep compromises couldn’t tip the scales in the slavers’ favor, so the slavers decided to withdraw to attempt to preserve their power.

There were a significant number of northerners who were active abolitionists and not involved in politics. John Brown is an American hero in my mind. Slavery was doomed regardless of the political order, but the political order tried to protect it nonetheless.

The risks of Covid to children is, as you say, extremely low. The risk of the Pfizer vaccine to children is even lower.

Right now those "individuals with an underlying complex disability" are not allowed to get vaccinated because the vaccine has not been approved for young children, even with an emergency use authorization.

I think the parents of children with disabilities that make Covid more potentially dangerous for them ought to be allowed to vaccinate their child. Do you disagree?
TL;DR: Because it uses a minimal representation for data (S expressions). This makes it much easier to write representations of data (compared to XML, or even JSON). This makes it easier to represent code as data, and that opens up the whole world.
Programming Is Hard

kids tend not to die from covid, but they can spread it, this is in fact a point the article makes. The point of the vaccine for kids is it would primarily prevent spread of covid to other more vulnerable people, but it would also protect some kids who were vulnerable to do underlying conditions.
While I don't like client-side scanning, that's overly reductive.

"Client side scanning" (both in general, and in the recent Apple kerfuffle) is talking about a network client, that will be talking to servers that are owned by "them." If they wish to enforce rules over what is stored on their server then to enforce that right, the only two choices are to disallow E2EE or to perform client-side scanning.

Really client-side scanning is only up for debate when E2EE is used. The Javascript that checks validity of forms before you submit them is a form of client-side scanning, but most of the time[1] nobody cares because it's data that you intend to send to the server anyways.

Even having it for adults is quite dystopian to me! If the vaccine is voluntary then businesses should not force others to have it.

Edit: I’d also add of course government entities or government-owned institutions such as schools! I’ve heard that some public high schools in California will require a vaccination card!, which, in my opinion, is quite extreme.
Not really. The modern tech companies, FAANG, and many doing SaaS, etc. consume highly expensive labor and consume it while not linear, yet still in some significant correlation to the revenue, thus one can see that they have kind of significant marginal costs. While Tesla's marginal costs will more and more will be dominated by the R&D.
Well said, and pretty reasonable numbers over all.

The one point I'd add some clarification to is your .0001% chance of the vaccine having worse short term health effects. It's not that the number is wrong, exactly, it's that it's an average. It's contingent on a host of factors, but once you learn how rare side effects are, it's tempting to rhetorically bludgeon people with concerns over the head with this, even though in some cases they don't deserve it.

To give the most obvious example [1]:

> Some advisers were concerned that young and healthy Americans who don’t need a booster might choose to get one anyway. Side effects are uncommon, but in younger Americans they may outweigh the potential benefits of booster doses, the scientists said.

> “Those that are not at high risk should really be thoughtful about getting that dose,” said Dr. Helen Talbot, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University.

That's pretty strong language suggesting that if you are (1) young, (2) healthy, (3) already vaccinated, the risks might outweigh the benefits of getting vaccinated again (getting a third shot). That's extremely limited, of course, but it's important not to neglect the striking degree to which contingent facts can modulate the cost / benefit analysis.

Audit tables are awesome, this technique is great. We had one additional requirement that got us away from using a trigger for this: we wanted to know what user (in the application) caused the change. So we moved the logic of "insert into audit_table" into the application code itself using a CTE, roughly translated as:

with affected_rows as (
insert/update/delete into/from ...
returning *
)
insert into my_audit_table
select @op, current_timestamp, @userinfo, * from affected_rows

where @op is bound to one of "insert", "update" or "delete" and @userinfo is the user(name|id|various|etc) of the user that caused the change.
I have to admit, a soldier quitting because things look bad 10 to 15 years down the road does not sound like much of a soldier to me.

To be clear, I am not advocating that we "give up" just that we "(wo)man up".
because kids not dying of covid misses the point, they can still spread it, plus those kids that have complex underlying conditions due need the vaccine and this would allow them to get it.
> I'd bet that Google & Facebook's current run-up is largely driven by inflation and higher ad prices.

What does this mean? The dollar didn't inflate 68%.

If you mean that companies are investing more capital into advertising because capital markets are looser, sure, but why is that a bad thing again?
It doesn't work this way.

If Alphabet wanted to prove they lasted three years, they would have found a way to prove it. Auditors don't go around challenging on things like this. In particular, they don't go around challenging companies on depreciation because that is a key lever that management can pull if they need to hit numbers.

It is very difficult to discern exactly why they will have done this but the functional answer is: they have done this because they needed earnings to increase. In this case, it looks like the difference between a 15% and a 20% beat (I believe the change was made in January, I think they had quite a big beat in that quarter after some flattish momentum, middle of the year very strong anyway).
