I only use them to backup my home network and a couple VPSes so the $5.99/mo minimum is fine for me. I use restic for the backups.

I tried BackBlaze B2 and it worked incredibly slowly with restic. Not sure what the problem was.
As everyone else has commented, security theater versus effective screening and detection methods.
Indeed; it has a feature dubbed namespaces. You can create files and directories in the POSIX namespace, store POSIX ACLs, etc. and this will give you “bag of bytes” filenames alongside Windows filenames. I believe this was used for SfU and WSL1.
I recently bought a ZenFone 8 specifically for its size, it's slightly shorter than the Xperia 10 III, and the same width. Very easy to use with one hand. I really like it, it has a headphone jack, decent enough cameras, a 120hz screen, and a snapdragon 888, so it's basically as powerful as any other current android flagship, just smaller.
>I think the fake 'inflation' we are seeing

There is going to be an excess supply shock in first quarter of q4. Most of the suppliers are over stocked up to such an extent and most 3PLs are over capacity and unable to take up any new clients.

And not sure how "fake" the inflation is. The cost of container from china was $1k before pandemic. Now its $10k-$20k.
Though rates are falling back its not enough https://www.statista.com/statistics/1250636/global-container...
FAST FIX protocol is terrible performance-wise, its format requires multiple branching at every field parsing. Even "high-performance" libraries like mFAST are slow: I recently helped a client to optimize parsing for several messages and got 8x speed improvement over mFAST (which is a big deal in HFT space).
Which makes it even more scummy to include this in a browser.
It's bad when leaders make choices based on unproven ideas because of the impact that can have on people.

If I told all my friends that drinking hot sauce made me smarter, then yeah, drinking hot sauce has some value for me individually. If I told some scientists the same thing, they might think about it and analyze what the possible mechanism was, whether I actually became snarter, etc, but the idea of drinking hot sauce has absolutely no value to society until someone can prove it works. The value to science is in a possible research path, if it somewhat fits with what we know about reality.

That's why I ask and search for proof. I don't want to be tricked into drinking hot sauce for no reason.
You can really see the effects in states dominated by a single party.

For example, in Maryland, the dominant party is proposing this:

It receives a grade of 'F'.

While the governor is proposing this:

It receives a grade of 'A'.

Take a look and contact your state legislaters.

That's only the positives, on the flip side:

- Your government can freeze your assets on a whim, because you criticised the wrong people or exposed some of their institution's crimes ( whistleblowers ).

- Destroy your business in an instant, by cutting you off from funding and other services for whatever reason they deem appropriate.

Every system has its pros and cons, but I totally understand why people are excited about defi.

This article talks about their new electric sedan and future SUV.

And here I am still waiting on electric minivan. I regularly have to carry six people around, two of which are children and two of which are elderly, so I can't use anything that requires climbing to get into the seats (like every six seat SUV).

Am I really that small of a market that no one wants to make an electric minivan, or is it a technologically difficult problem?

> No it isn't, it's super cheap and dead simple. What's expensive and difficult is fixing security problems super late in the game. For example, we have 2FA everywhere at my company. It's 10 people, so that's easy, and it always will be. If we were 2,000 people I'd have to go through hoops and it'd be a whole mess to roll out 2FA everywhere.

Lots of companies were founded prior to the popularisation of 2FA, and these security standards change over time.

Making new applications secure by modern-day standards might be relatively simple - although you are still exposed to security risks if one of your vendors has a vulnerability (you don't often get to see the codebase of your vendors, so a zero day can hit hard).

Then keeping a legacy infrastructure, older codebase or historical on-premise applications (where the vendor may not even exist anymore) secure is more difficult. And all those solutions were 'secure' by the standards of when they were implemented, just times have changed.

And then on top of that, we are talking about Ransomware hackers which are buying zero-days for host operating systems - and at that point all bets are off. Let's not forget, you just needed 1 machine of the 2,000 to be 2 months out of date on patches and you were susceptible to WannaCry.
How do DeFi protocols handle loan defaults and repayment? shane_b describes in a sibling comment a scheme where your loan is over collateralized, but that doesn't make any sense—why take out a loan if you already have the money and could just "loan it to yourself" at 0% interest? How do DeFi loaning protocols handle Sybil attacks?
>just "being" on the journal is more important than the [...] research? i am saying, how do you evaluate the "goodness" of a paper if you weren't told it came from Elsevier or some other publication?

I think I understand the motivation for your question and why you're confused.

Your mental model for your question seems to be this: if science person is competent, he/she should be able to evaluate any Libgen paper without needing to outsource the assessment of "good/bad" to a middleman publisher like Elsevier. Therefore, a file-hosting website like Libgen is all that academics should need.

But the mental model is this: the scientists/readers are busy and they don't want to waste time on bad papers. E.g. Nature journal rejects ~93% of 10000 submissions in a year.[1] Therefore, reading Nature means people don't have to wade through ~9000 other papers. In short, readers still want curation because it saves time.

Platforms like Libgen or Scihub solve distribution/downloads of pdf files. But hosting documents is the easy part. The hard problem they don't solve is the human curation. Conceivably, an academic "Libgen" would host all 10000 submitted papers and busy readers are not interested in that. Instead, having papers pass several levels of human curation filters into a manageable subset for readers leads to accumulated prestige for both the Journal and the particular paper. Prestige also leads to academic promotions, lab funding, etc. Libgen as a pdf hoster does not have a prestige-accumulation feedback loop.

(I didn't downvote your question.)

[1] https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/8755/what-propo...

EDIT reply to: >I don't understand, how does sci-hub undermine the prestige-accumulation feedback loop?

I was not saying Scihub undermines prestige at journals like Nature. Instead, Scihub does not _solve_ the problem of creating prestige/impact for submitters (including unknown ones) who need papers validated by peers (especially respected peers). Scihub only solves the files hosting aspect -- the pdf download button. But hosting the "download links" is not the hardest problem that middlemen publishers solve.
Edge is incredible in terms of UI (vertical tabs and collections are incredible), but I switched from Chrome because it was less bloaty and spyish. It's quickly becoming worse than Chrome here, it's like they're doing everything they can to make me switch to Vivaldi or Brave
I was not out in college (in the early 80's), though I would have probably answered I was gay on an anonymous survey.

I didn't have any of the advantages you list of being out. For me, work and school in my teens and 20's were ways to avoid having to deal with being gay. You have to spend your time doing something, and for me, not being out meant I didn't have gay friends, I didn't relate that well to straight friends who might try to fix me up with girls, talk about girls, etc., I wasn't interested in dating girls, and pursuing men was totally outside my realm of possibility. So what's left? Work, school, music. These allowed me to feel good about what I was doing with my life at a time when I wasn't ready to deal with my sexuality.

So yeah, I can totally relate to this. In fact, I'd say closeted gay guys are more focused on school than out guys because they mostly don't have a social life to distract them from academics.

In a similar way, I'd guess that by percentage of the respective populations, gay guys are more accomplished musicians than straight guys too. Why? Because music is a difficult, time-consuming activity that requires a lot of dedication and is highly respected by society. Its perfect for a young gay guy looking for something productive to do that doesn't involve dating and sexuality.
Parkinson is also not a black and white thing. I have bodily tremors due to my depression, can I self diagnose parkinsons and start giving advice? Would you approve?
You're right, I apologise. I (meant and) should have said something like "making the car's security dependent on", in the sense of a weakest link, or additional attack surface.
I find talking into a camera really tough. If you're doing it by yourself you almost need to imagine you're talking to a person. I even know of people who put cutouts or pictures of someone by the camera so they can talk to a person.

I haven't had a lot of luck using teleprompters but maybe I just haven't hit of the right setup.

Something else someone told me recently was to try to work in short segments that you redo until you get right and then do a cut to the next segment somewhere that it's natural.
I think you may be on to something here. I have an iPhone mini and that's its main flaw IMO.

I love the phone and wouldn't want a larger form factor, but the lack of TouchID is seriously annoying.
Citation needed? I would love to see what controls are involved in this since my own personal research has shown "Misogynists love to blame women for their problems" pretty consistently.
That's a good fear to have. That's the kind of thing I would set up some monitoring for and then wait to see. You might get a few jerks. But those same jerks might also be the sort of people who would sign up with a bunch of fake emails, so gating on an email address may not be much better than gating on a fresh-issued cookie.

Thanks for listening, and good luck with your project!

>FSF doctrine that "binary blobs are bad unless you can't see them"

why did you add "unless you can't see them"

did FSF said binary blobs you can't see are not bad? Seems opposite from what FSF would do
I think it ends up being more complicated than that, because they don't operate their own clearing for crypto and they don't charge any fees, so some other party acts as a wholesaler, quotes huge spreads, and returns a lot of that money to RH as PFOF. But your post is directionally correct, and the differences are mostly marketing.
I have the same problem if I go hiking with a destination in mind. 7 years ago while touring Europe with some friends I learned to totally ignore the destination of the day, just go in some direction and look in the evening for a place to slip. That make it all about the journey, not the destination, and it is so much relaxing and fun.
What were they trying to reach you about? Was it actually important to you or was is something you could have ignored?

> Lots of companies were founded prior to the popularisation of 2FA.

Like I said, what's hard is undoing bad security. Still, I know companies that are nearly a century old that have rolled out strong 2FA policies across 10's of thousands of workers across the globe. They do it because they value security.

It's much harder to fix a bad network, but it's still just a matter of effort. It's not like we don't know how to do it, it's a matter of effort.
Though in this case it is quite obvious that there are some parties making an obscene amount amount of money in healthcare, there are businesses where employees feel underpaid, owners lose money / break even, and customers believe they are overpaying, so no one is happy. Childcare is first example I can think of.

Bad product management. You can bet the team is like "WTF are you doing asking for this?!", and they're like "we need to hit or OKRs and I need an impactful $$$ win to get my promotion, deal with it".
A typical, ultralight backpack weighs about 10lbs, but that can be anything from 5lbs to 15lbs, depending on your preference. Winter conditions add 2 or 3 lbs roughly.

An ultralight tent weighs less than a pound.

Typical stretches between resupplies are sth like 2-6 days, depending on region and preference. Food for a day weighs sth like 1 - 1.5 lbs. So packs with about or a bit over 20lbs sure is no magic. 70lbs with modern equipment sounds weird or unnecessary.
Resupplies are time consuming but necessary, you need to wash yourself and your clothes, repair or replace gear and first and foremost eat. Because while on trail it’s unlikely you manage to eat enough.
This looks great. I can't wait to read it.
Don't know about Amazon since they are irrelevant in my country but Klarna has gotten a lot of heat for this here in Sweden. Maybe the American market does not care but there are markets where pay day loans will hurt your reputation a lot.

> Though to be fair, scamming is still present here, typically involving calling older people and trying to persuade them to reveal bank access codes during a phone call. There two differences with US banks here: - banks are required never to ask for access credentials over insecure channel (phone/email) (though SMS is also not perfect in this regard); - banks are required to educate customers that they never ask for such credentials, educate about fraud scenarios, etc. And they do (at least the reputable ones)

This has happened many times in Sweden in the last few years. Banks almost always tried to talk their way out of any sort of responsibility even though scammers took advantage of their pretty bad processes. The banks processes as well as the apps' designs have improved, but I think the point is that essentially nothing of what happened there in the US wasn't happening in Sweden as well. I presume it's the same with the rest of Europe.

This quote from the article is key:

> “Consumers — many who never ever realized they had a Zelle account – then call their banks, expecting they’ll be covered by credit-card-like protections, only to face disappointment and in some cases, financial ruin,” Sullivan wrote in a recent Substack post. “Consumers who suffer unauthorized transactions are entitled to Regulation E protection, and banks are required to refund the stolen money. This isn’t a controversial opinion, and it was recently affirmed by the CFPB here. If you are reading this story and fighting with your bank, start by providing that link to the financial institution.”

Good to see US regulators aren't letting banks off the hook. They should furthermore come down very hard on any bank that even acts like they might not be responsible since that's essentially fraud.

At the end of the day it's an issue of securing human processes as well as regulators holding banks feet to the fire for problems their processes create.
Interesting take. I saw Phillip DeFranco as more of a pioneer of that style. He really leaned into the cuts. At the time it was something no one else was doing so it was very noticeable, and he had a very crisp cadence with them where the jarring cuts were part of the presentation. It was clear his process was: Write a script, mark cuts everywhere it could make sense, go through the script repeating every phrase until you're happy with the sound, and when editing, always make the cuts where they're marked, even if it could be skipped.

The result feels something like pixel art: Clearly not the closest possible imitation of conversational speaking, but something else. A style in its own right with different considerations.

Now that it's par for the course to have jump cuts, I see them used more sloppily everywhere, where it's clear the narrator decided where to do the cuts after the fact. Cutting off the beginning or end of a phoneme, missing or repeating bits of a thought because they they liked one phrasing in recording but opted for another one in post, misordered cuts where something which moved in the background moves back to its old place, etc. Phillip's style looked lazy but it can't really be imitated with actual laziness.

These days I look back and really cringe at the substance of his show. But I still see the style as professional.

It is interesting that they immediately drag out homophobia as a reason, when homophobia is practically nonexistent in academia and homosexuality is actively promoted.

There a so many practical reasons:

1) You have more time that students with a girlfriend.

2) You are spared many real life issues like pregnancy scares of gf etc.

3) You can always operate in the male thinking domain without attuning yourself to females.

4) Sex is way easier and costs less time to achieve.

5) You are out of the heterosexual male status games.

Historically, academic males have always been overachievers (there are so many of them in Cambridge/UK). The oppressed ones are in the lower classes (which the woke do not care about).
Just 6 years ago they (we) were banned from marrying. And that was fixed by scotus, not democracy because plenty of people were more than happy with that situation.
Have you ever driven under the base of a large bridge (you can’t it’s restricted)? I’m sure you’ve seen the road spikes and the anti car bomb barricades put around high profile buildings… when something is valuable and a possible target of attack you protect it and make it less vulnerable.
Well, I haven't paid yet ;) but the adjusted amount charged to my insurance was about $12.5k. I have a highish deductible plan but I have an HSA so after meeting deductible and maxing out my out of pocket limit the HSA is going to cover much of what remains (it's been accruing for 5 years and I never have medical expenses).

But I think it's completely insane we have to play these games with healthcare. Why does it have to feel like gambling and bartering!?

The article's premise is actually about "vendor lock-in"; which is hiding behind a click-bait title.

We similarly run a start-up on AWS serverless, and there are zero regrets.

The portion of code that actually interacts with the Lambda-specific JSON requests is trivial, and just routes to code that is unaware of environment.

In terms of similar “interesting” things one I successfully did in the past that I wanted to share was to have a single Linux environment that you could either boot into or run in a VM.

VirtualBox supports fake disk images that are just pointers to a real block device, which could be an entire drive or partition.

I took advantage of that to have a dual-boot Linux & Windows 7 install (with the main bootloader still being Windows’ as I hate GRUB) and then created a VM pointing to the Linux partition.

The system was configured to be able to deal with both the real hardware and the VM emulated HW. As far as I know most stuff worked out of the box, the only change I had to make was have two network configuration entries - one for physical hardware and one for the VM.

This worked really well actually and performance was good.
Weird seeing this ranked so high. The record in this situation isn't anything anyone has tried to "beat" before, nor is it something anyone called a "record" until Kia tried. In fact it's just a side note from a six year old press hit Tesla did where they drove a Model S across the country in like 60 hours or something. And while doing so, it spent twelve hours on chargers. (Again, this was back in the days of the 75 kW v1 supercharger).

Well, Kia dusted that off and drove their new car across the country. And they took a week to do it, but in the process it was only being charged for seven hours.

To be fair: 800V cars do indeed charge faster! It seems like a nice car. But this is just silly.
Not really. Why would you do everything from scratch?

One common refrain used to discriminate against gay people has been that they are "sexual deviants".

Casually throwing out an anecdotal guess that gay people are more college educated because of all the sex they're having is frankly shocking to read.

If you're not intentionally discriminating, at the very least you're stereotyping the amount of sexual activity of people based on their sexual orientation and your anecdotal experiences.
You've also got the Certificate of Need system, introduced in the Nixon years on the theory that if allowed hospitals to compete with each other it would lead to redundant capacity and thus higher costs.

And then there's the Medicaid reimbursement rates, decided by a committee using the labor theory of value rather than something sensible like cost benefit analysis and negotiation. And since it's illegal to charge someone else less than you charge Medicaid these tend to have a cascade effect.

Our healthcare system is a huge sequence of "make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies" legal systems with layers of ad hoc patches its amazing it works as well as it does.

Normally I'm in favor of free markets but if nationalization is what it takes to clean up the current mess of a system we have then so be it.
