"What is VAERS?"

https://vaers.hhs.gov/

"Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. Healthcare professionals are required to report certain adverse events and vaccine manufacturers are required to report all adverse events that come to their attention.

VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern."

"The OpenVAERS Project"

"VAERS is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System put in place in 1990. It is a voluntary reporting system that has been estimated to account for only 1% ( see the Lazarus Report) of vaccine injuries. OpenVAERS is built from the HHS data available for download at vaers.hhs.gov."
I disagree, incentives would be very different imo.

> Now you might say, what stops them announcing the wrong public key to the world, and then decrypting/re-encrypting a connection when it flows inbound to that IP across its wires. And the answer is the same as with TLS/SSL: not much, so you have to do lots of double checking and pinning.

in WebPKI:

- CA's have struct rules (CAB and individual browser vendors) and have to go through audits to verify they follow them (how much an audit is worth is debatable)

- certificate transparency ensures that CA's can't misbehave without being detected, which if they do, they get kicked out as a CA.

If an isp misbehaves in this scenario, how do we punish them? Can we kick them out of the internet? Seems unlikely. If a CA refues to do something, we can kick them out.

> and pinning

I personally think pinning is generally a bad solution to pki problems, but for the sake of argument: how do you do pinning (or even something simpler like TOFU) with only a transient identifier like a dynamic IP address? What do you pin to?

Its even worse if you still want to support NAT.

> A CA like LetsEncrypt will automatically probe an IP from several vantage points as part of validating a domain->IP mapping but that process can be triggered at any point, and the vantage points can be easily discovered. So an ISP that can 'catch' all the vantage points, can just redirect IP traffic from the CA to its own server to obtain a cert, and then MITM traffic heading towards a website. It's the same problem when doing it at the IP level.

Which can be immediately noticeable via certificate transparency. More to the point, there is no single attacker who is on path for all of lets encrypt's vantage points (and you don't have a relationship with any of lets encrypt's isps so they are less likely to care about you), which wouldn't be true for this new scheme. I guess you could argue that the web host in the webpki case (when not using dns validation) is the most likely point of attack, but they could just attack directly since they own the hardware.

> However, there is still a lot of value because you can get public keys in a variety of ways. For instance you could try to connect to yourself back via Tor, or a variety of other services, to verify that your public key the rest of the internet sees is what you think it is.

Its easy to come by lists of public proxies. Tor itself publishes a list of all ips participating in the tor network.

Ultimately the biggest problem is enforcement incentives. Much of the security of web pki relies on being able to detect and punish misbehaving CA's (of which there are only a small number of). I don't see a politically viable way of doing that for ISPs.
You forgot Apple Car.
I don't know if it was the intent, but I read your entire article twice.

Overall, point 2 is the most interesting/troubling. I'm glad to have read it.

However, point 9 is beyond ridiculous. You claim that Protonmail devs don't use Protonmail. That's an interesting claim.

I was expecting a quote from devs making this claim.

Instead, it links to an article and uses the fact that Protonmail devs don't have an explicit @protonmail.com email address on GitHub as evidence (of the 13 devs inspected, the most common case is not having an email address public).

The article even makes this snarky remark when the dev is using Protonmail with a custom domain: 'Does not use Protonmail.com (No pride in “@protonmail.com”)'.

That's a very weak point to make compared to the seriousness of your other claims.
No, it happens more often than you think. Just make sure you have another job offer in-hand before doing so.
My rent, as did most rents in my area went down. I expect next year will be a modest increase, certainly less than other increases in the recent past. While goods are clearly more expensive, it doesn’t feel anywhere close to 20% more.
Show HN: free soundboard to make your tabletop games much more immersive
Ex-Austrian here, I wonder who the actual target audience is. I don't know a single person for who this would make their daily commute cheaper or more effective. Either they work in areas with bad connection (common for Industry areas there) so depend on their cars. Or they only use a single bus or train fair, which is still cheaper on its own.

At least in Salzburg people own cars because the existing public transport is not sufficient and unreliable. Not because public transport is expensive, it isn't when your job doesn't offer free parking somehow.

I live in Switzerland and had one of those cards here (Gea). The difference is that everything is perfectly connected and it's less unusual to work in a different city because of that.

My guess is the 'klimaticket' will be used mostly by business people and regular travelers who already used the train system either way. Essentially only losing money.

But who knows :)
If inflation happens and food becomes more expensive and you keep buying the same food you have less money left over for non food products. The CPI will adjust and weight your food expenses more which will raise the CPI much faster than if it also looked at fitness equipment that went down in price because you didn't buy it because food was too expensive.

If food gets more expensive and people don't spend more on food then inflation didn't happen by definition. They still spend the exact same amount after all, they just got different food instead.
Well, what you call an Anglosphere attitude is a reality of learning in a majority of non-english speaking countries: There's simply not enough resources for learning in your own language.

China is huge so I can see how it could work for them, but I still have to admit it's very hard for me to imagine someone becoming say a competent web dev without picking at least some basic English along the way, so they can handle at least the documentation and stay in a loop on new tech coming out all the time. It's not anything new as a concept, nor I see it as damaging for local cultures in any way - back in my University days I've learned myself some Russian so that I could read their physics and chemistry books which were excellent and way cheaper and easier for me to get than those from the West. One day I'll have no problem learning some Chinese if (or more likely when?) they become the referent source of knowledge.

Wow, thats a blast from the past.

I guess the way to the metaverse is paved with predecessors that never caught on (as with so many tech things).
Anyone has any idea how much percentage YC has for those companies on average?
It's plausible, but not on a medium to large scale. Of all my consumption expenses, certainly coffee has gone up per cup, but everything else is roughly the same.

Oats, deli meat, fruit, pasta, that's about it. Canned beans have gone up a little, maybe butter too.
Manager agrees on most of my points but, for various reasons, he cannot/won't change anything. All he can do is chase up people to set up a knowledge transfer meeting (when excessive meetings are just a sign of the dysfunctions of other levels).
It's this research that prompted GitHub to show warnings, they didn't appear as of yesterday.
Editors and code views should definitely show when BiDi and other interesting Unicode features are used, just like they already do with spaces and zero-width whitespaces. These features should definitely work, but they are a liability if they can also used to mislead human users.

Compiler maintainers need to update the syntax rules to restrict free mixing of unicode characters. Similar restrictions were already adopted in domain names.
This is Paul Graham tweet in full:

Someone asked what the total value of YC companies was, so I tried calculating it. The current value of the top 30 is about $575 billion. When we started YC, I would have been astounded if you'd told me it would one day be $5.75 billion.

-

The remarkable thing about YC is that they truly innovated on the schooling aspect of venture and transformed the meaning of accelerator to business flywheel.

For high school students with aspirations in the tech field it is like the MIT, Caltech and Stanford all rolled into one.

I am very surprised how complicated C++ is becoming in every revision.

It began with a simple goal of adding classes to C. The STL, inline functions, "true constants" were all nice stuff. C++11 introduced nice stuff like "auto", constexpr. But now the new features are increasing the complexity so much that it is becoming harder to learn the language. Is so much complexity worth? How can someone new to programming ever hope to learn this monstrosity?
$SQUID cryptocurrency rug pulled, down 100%
Thanks for making it free!
I would start looking...
I bought a Louqe Ghost S1 from the original Kickstarter, I still love it. Solid as a rock, really high quality. There are a few minor design issues like the tophats warping if you screw them in too hard but otherwise it's the perfect form factor (plus it looks great).

I built it with a 1080ti etc and it's had no cooling problems apart from the 2 m.2 ssds getting a little toasty (alleviated by adding a fan under where the psu sits; I cool using a 240mm radiator in the top so the motherboard wasn't getting much airflow from that).
No, I’m doing it with a framework, Dagger mostly. It works as advertised but the downsides makes it a huge pain. I’d rather do it manually tbf.
And when we scale out wind and solar they will be cheaper too. Given the historical experience curves, this argument will favor those, not nuclear.

Can I ask you a vote for this feature? Thanks a lot
Did you verify that it really was the bank calling and not a scammer? I get calls and texts from “credit card fraud departments”, “banks”, “service warranty departments”, “Amazon billing”, “Microsoft security”, “Social Security Administration”, “IRS”, and others frequently; 95% are scammers.

The most amusing to me are the ones from “Microsoft” to alert me that they have detected malware on my computer.
> You forget the editorial boards. They can mass resign, start their own journal, and ask that this successor be considered the legitimate heir.

That would actually be completely irrelevant. Performance evaluation in academia is tied to the ability to post X papers in well respected established publications with a high impact factor. This requirement is generally imposed by legislation and regulation. Thus what matters is a publication's impact factor, it's reputation, and whether they are already in the acceptable list or not.

If a mass protest led an entire editorial board to leave an established high-impact factor journal to start their own journal from scratch, said new journal would fail to meet any of the criteria that makes a journal an acceptable publication.

> Because, again, these folks don't care if anyone can read their research outside of colleagues who might cite them.

Thus assertion is also wrong. There are researchers who put together their own journals and use them to circle-jerk their way into relevance. This has been happening for years, and I even know of a case where said researcher even ties his papers to his own congress. However, these journals do tend to have a piss-poor impact factor, thus they don't count for performance reviews.

It's 7% pre-dilution. Given the value of the companies, however, that's still a solid share.
Tell that story to the government bond markets. The investors would love to hear those numbers and instantly demand 10% interest...

No, I'm serious. If these numbers were accurate then you wouldn't even be able to make money off the stock or housing market. Everyone would be losing money.
Sorry, clearly my comment wasn't very helpful.

I was trying to point out that quoting parameters or not could bring a different meaning for a shell (as one could see it with Bash), with the implied consequence that one would have to carry over that nuance somehow to a shell where all parameters would have to be quoted.
Sure there will always be someone willing to do it. But since you got hired and they didn’t, you are presumably better at it than they would be. So if you quit for ethical reasons, your unethical replacement won’t be as good. Thus the effectiveness of the unethical company is reduced, and eventually the level of employees would fall so low the company couldn’t operate at all.
Say you have a 28" 4K display but you want to run 2560x1440 resolution to get you desired UI size. You can either run 2560x1440 scaled up to 4K, or 5120x2880 scaled down to 4K. The latter will look better.
Would we decry such measure in other countries that are not our allies? Would we call it autocratic/authoritarian/fascist etc.?? If so then why are so compliant here.
Am I reading it correctly that USB-C ports on new M1 Macs are not TB? That comes as a big surprise to me.
Airbnb's current market cap is ~100B. How much do you think is Stripe worth? I think Stripe doesn't go public because it'd just break the market; pop the bubble.
Not unprofessional at all to leave this kind of madness the moment you find something better or, if things are really bad and you can afford it, tomorrow. If there was cost cutting and layoffs, how loyal would they be to you?

Plus, right now you are slowly (or quickly) burning out. That is not an acceptable result. They are incompetent and unprofessional. Employees should not be burning out due to bad work design.

There is a massive opportunity cost in remaining in a bad environment. You may last awhile longer but only if you adapt to it. Do you really want to adapt to where you are and get comfortable in it?

I'd be returning to the resume stage and put the feelers out into my network. Live is too short for this kind of nonsense.

But in reality I can't advise you more than this because I don't know the full story and basically can't. Hope this helped.
Yes, that's definitely a tension. The unstated reason is that if you don't write that in specifically, then national government has default unmitigated power. Those clauses are a reaction to that fundamental American expectation of all governments, as informed by the experience vs the British.

And indeed they don't work, they just lead to creative workarounds; in the rare event that it can't find a foothold on any existing or implied power, then national government will enable regional and local government, or private interests, to do what it wanted instead.
The article makes some interesting points, which I think could be applied to BUYING your dog, but in the case of a rescue dog, the ethics are very different.

My dog was bred to race but sucked at it. Had she not been rescued and adopted, her life would be substantially worse than it is today, assuming she survived at all. It's pretty hard for me to imagine a negative analysis of our arrangement.

The author also makes a distinction between pets and working dogs, as if owning a dog to corral your sheep is somehow more ethical than having one for companionship. I don't get this part at all.
In Germany you have a probationary period of 6 months where both sides can give notice of 2 weeks without having to give a reason. The probationary period is really there to make sure that you fit the organization and that the organization fits you.

It is not usual that people don't make it through the probationary period, but it happens. If you know 5 months into a job that it is not for you and won't work out, then search for something that does. When asked why the time at X was so short, tell the hiring manager why. A place that dings you based on your honest assessment is not a place where you will want to work anyway.
Yes. Is there a way to calculate after dilution, or is it impossible without knowing the cap table of each companies?
>For high school students with aspirations in the tech field it is like the MIT, Caltech and Stanford all rolled into one.

What does it mean?

does PG teach maths and stuff? (/s)
They take 6-8% when they first invest, but then they get diluted down by later investments, though they also have the Continuity fund that participates in later rounds, so that reduces the dilution.

On average it’s probably 2-4% by the time companies get past $1B cap.

In general, academics will care about the rules imposed by funding agencies i.e. the politicians which want an evaluation that Elsevier et al somehow fulfill. If the funding agencies would say that an open access journal "counts" as much as Nature, that would be a big change, but they don't.
Apparently you haven't seen this (short summary: you cite a pre-print (anyone's, not just your own), no funding for you): https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/aug/24/australian...

Funding agencies (which are generally controlled by government, not academia) could easily set the standard to be e.g. no subscription and $500 publishing fee (feel free to replace $500 with a reasonable amount, I think $500 is excessive, but it's much lower than current rates), as shown by the slow switch to Open Access, which has been driven by them.
