>Elon Musk provides another example. Today, Tesla is worth more than $1 trillion. Without his will and personality, Tesla probably wouldn’t exist.

Yes it would. Mark Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard founded Tesla. They were later forced out by Elon.

They were arguably quite poorly compensated for their part in starting this company.

This speaks to the fundamental problem with this theory - it's all very well saying that Elon is worth his money because Tesla would be nothing without him, but what if it actually would have been wildly successful without him and he mostly rode the wave with his $6 million series A investment?

Of course, you cant prove what "would" have happened, you only know what actually did, so your valur is measured by whomever tells the most compelling story.
Wonder could this mean something like carplay... When you connect, it starts as a Bluetooth connection and then that sets up wifi for extra data channels... Could future air pods do something simular on Apple only devices?
Wow it's so great to hear from another person who had a life changing experience with TMS! The clinicians were really blown away by how quickly the TMS started to help me and even though it's been over two years since my treatment I really do feel as though it is still helping me now. The clinicians that I talked to at my clinic were similar in their experiences. It really does drive home for me how debilitating depression actually was for me and still is for so many people. I spent years taking all the "right" steps to feel better and following advice from different doctors, and I still was often overwhelmed. I am happy that now when I use the skills I had built up over years with my therapist they are a lot more effective.
Not Op but I can few of your questions.

* I am using same google voice number as my actual google account. I live with constant fear that if I am locked out of google account then I cannot access my voice number. Only thing I do to avoid this scenario is to have back up code written somewhere.
* Trust on Google
* as of now no
When choosing a cryptographic algorithm, there are generally two schools of thought:

• Use something FIPS approved and tried and true (RSA, SHA-256, AES in GCM, maybe a NIST/FIPS curve, although Google “Dual_EC_DRBG” first, etc.)

• Use a cryptographic primitive developed by Daniel J. Bernstein (Curve25519—which, yes, is NIST if maybe not FIPS approved, [1] ChaCha20 and its derivative BLAKE2, etc.)

These are two camps, and there is some tension between the two camps (as can be seen elsewhere in this discussion) about which approach is better, with very heated emotions. While heated, as someone who remembers the BIND-vs-djbdns and Sendmail-vs-Qmail flame wars of 20 years ago all too well, [2] I find an old fashioned to-DJB-or-not-to-DJB heated discussion a refreshing blast from the past compared to the kind of toxic cancel culture, doxxing, and hideous political attacks dominating social media here in the 2020s.

For a brand new project using crypto, I would use libsodium, which is firmly in the DJB school of thought w.r.t. cryptographic algorithms used, simply because, while newer, it doesn’t have the security history OpenSSL has had, and looks to be quite secure and actively maintained by multiple developers.

[1] https://csrc.nist.gov/News/2017/Transition-Plans-for-Key-Est...

[2] I used Qmail and djbdns during that era before transitioning to my own MaraDNS. I only made MaraDNS because of the concerns about djbdns’ then-not-open-source license and the lack of open source diversity w.r.t. DNS servers back then. All moot, now that Qmail/djbdns are public domain, both NSD/Unbound and KnotDNS have come out, and Postfix has become the most common non-Sendmail email daemon. Actually, w.r.t. email, I use an online service here in the 2020s (mxroute), because the headaches of bypassing spam filters are now such it’s best left to someone devoted to just that one problem.

[3] My preferences tend to win the NIST standardization workshops. I liked Rijndael the most during the AES process because it, unlike the others, has a variable block size, so can be used for stuff like AEShash-256. I liked Keccak the most during the SHA-3 process because it was the only unbroken extensible output function (XOF) which ran decently on 32-bit hardware; the only other unbroken XOF, Skein, was pretty much 64-bit only, and BLAKE didn’t have an XOF mode at the time. I still wish BLAKE had a sponge-style “rehash to generate more random bits” XOF mode to make fast forwarding its XOF computationally infeasible.
The most important part of your comment is something you hinted at in the last paragraph. Reading ability alone means very little in a practical sense.

Reading ability is an implicit task of basic cognitive functioning like following simple instructions, interpretation, pattern recognition, prioritization, and so forth. It’s frightening how well many children grasp these skills well and how many adults struggle with these on such a very basic level.

For example, in my line of work as a front end developer there is a thing called the DOM, a tree model. Many small children understand tree models and can navigate them with ease, but many (perhaps most) adults cannot do this on even a primitive level and do bizarre things to protect their careers in an effort to learn how to navigate the DOM which only requires a few hours of practice with absolutely no barrier to entry.
Engineering Milestones to Look for in 2022
Very good point. I typically use both approaches, sometimes using an interface as a method parameter just "feels" more natural, but other times a generic + type constraint is better. I usually draw the line when the infection you mention becomes too much, aka when 3 or 4 layers are now forced to use a generic cause 1 layer needed it. So yes, very valid point. The key is to find balance so that the code is still maintainable in 6 months from now, still readable + fast, while trying to reduce duplication where it makes sense.
I wasn't really intending to provide feedback to you on your list, I was more just a little dismayed with the premise of working backwards from the goal of retiring that early and living your easiest years in what I believe to be a waste to get there, as most people probably would need to. There's nothing wrong with the concept of retiring early, if that doesn't cost too much in terms of how you spent your time to get there.

I've had a very volatile career, but I'm actually quite thankful that I've been forced to work at least 2 or 3 years less then your average person, even though I have no money to show for it. In retrospect, while it would be nice to have that money, I have memories of aimlessly travelling, hanging out with friends for hours a day in summer, and if I were to have waited till my late 30s, I'd have worked those memories away. I'm also im great shape and have a good relationship with staying in great shape, such that work will always be secondary. I also have some good friends that I've spent a lot of time with already. I know that won't always be possible, but I've established them and am decent at establishing new ones. These are things that careerist people end up losing out on entirely, a lot of the time.

By contrast, if I were to not only have worked regular hours for those missing years, but probably worked extra by even oke more hour every day, a bit on weekends, and saved a higher proportion than I already was, all I'd have to show for it is money, and that's pretty hollow. Thinking about retirement doesn't make you fat, lack of spending $ and time on physical hobbies does. Spending most of your time in a chair and eating cheap/quick food does too, none of this is a stretch to reach depression.
Who is celebrating new year lonely?
I think many people would work in it, but the job market for it is limited and driven by who knows who as far as I noticed. I hope Shakti will make things better: so far it's nice and definitely it's pricepoint is a lot better. Not sure where it will go.

Which begs the question, why did he switch to MacOS in the first place?
> They're almost as scummy as retired (Association) football players.

I wonder if there are numbers on this, but it seems to me that of those doing an active thing related to football post-retirement, the vast majority go into coaching, some do punditry, mostly failing at it, and some do ambassadorships and similar.
Can this be automated? Could a script divide code into small crates upon compilation?

The fact that a bug this severe and overengineered took so look to be noticed is both hilarious and extremely scary about how we trust modern software.
>I don't follow this argument. If a copyright holder can earn money for their work for a fixed period of time, they can use that income to acquire things like property

it should be relatively clear, copyrighted works are a form of property that people have and pay taxes on, the same way that they pay taxes on stock they own, or the improvements they did to their land when they built a house on it, and so forth. It's all a form of property.

>they can use that income to acquire things like property

yes, if a master carpenter makes a table and never sells it they can pass it on to their children as a form of property. but they can also sell it and use the money to obtain other forms of property and pass that on to their children. Or just let them inherit the money. Not sure what the point here is, except that for a lot of people's arguments to work here it is beneficial to ignore that copyrighted works are also a form of property.

Now someone will make the point that written works don't work the same as a table made by a carpenter and therefore it is unfair, even though stocks and bonds do not work the same as a small family mom and pop store which does not work the same as a table made by a carpenter which does not work the same as a painting by a famous painter which does not work exactly the same as the insurance business, and so on and so forth.

The fact is that there are many forms of business and property and they do not all work exactly the same, although their local differences tend to get smoothed out by the effects of accounting.

Obviously part of the way that the writing business works is formed by the laws and regulations pertaining to it. You would like to change that, but it seems disingenuous to argue that it should be changed because copyrighted works are not property. They function like property now that the owners lose after a variable amount of time, and even if the changes you wanted would be put in place they would still function like property - but with much less time before being changed to a public good.
The AKS control plane is provided cost free. And you can run stateless applications in k8s for years without them needing any maintenance.

I agree that almost nothing in the article is realistic, even if I have reached a similar conclusion in different ways.

- Kubernetes is easy if you run a big number of stateless applications.There are easier ways to do that in the cloud thought. I like the pattern of running the database in whatever way the DBA is used to (probably in a VM in which they ssh/RDP into).

- Kubernetes is great if you deploy your product for clients in different clouds. You tell them we need a k8s cluster of API version XYZ and their staff provision one for you. That way you can support Azure, GCP, Oracle and AWS without having to learn many of their APIs. That abstraction is leaky, hopefully your clients can setup the ingress controllers and storage correctly.

- If you are running your app for your own org in the cloud and you don't intend to move, you probably don't need the extra layers of complexity. Running managed k8s is a cloud API over a cloud API.

- If you don't run anything stateful in kubernetes its much easier - there is plenty of SaaS you can use, for example: RDS for DB, Datadog for monitoring, email providers, managed redis. Use kubernetes only for code you've written and understand it's behaviour. Don't be tempted to many things with helm, just the bare essentials.

- Kubernetes is great if you are a really large organization, because if you standardise on it you standardise infrastructurele, and you can move engineers between projects. And can have an ops silo again! /s

- If you are a big org with a DevOps team, you can create a custom Paas over kubernetes. I.e. when a dev runs make deploy staging1 that actually wraps kubectl and magically builds,tests and deploys the current code.
Heh, it won't be quick ;)
Why do everyone seem to think that management does not have actual good intentions with measuring NPS as a KPI? The companies I've worked with have all had genuinely good intentions making the best possible experience for the user, because that is what ultimately wins in the end. If someone scores 1-6, you ask them to provide additional feedback, to learn from it - problem solved and everyone has all the info they need to go about their work.

There seems to be this idea that KPIs are evil and interpreted in vacuum. It's rarely like that.
The world changed quite a lot due to standardized shipping containers. It was a mess before that.

I really do think the same could be applied to shipping packaging.

There are 12 sized boxes and that's that. They need to be stacked a certain way.

Or maybe a bit of flex here and there for some things.

Nobody really has the wherewithal or power to do that, but you know ... Xi could. I can see that being something China imposes, and then it's a standard that naturally gets exported.
The fintech revolution in banking
To add to that, websites load far faster today than they did in the dial up era, or even the early DSL era. Likewise, computers used to start up way slower before the advent of SSDs. People who complain about bloat need to get some perspective about how much hardware gains have outstripped the proliferation of bloat.
More like that people do not read articles. They're discussing mandatory vaccinations, they are talking about banning Telegram, with Buschmann saying he's not pro ban but wants to censor Telegram content like they already censor other social media. It's a huge thorn in their claws that they don't control this platform because they're based outside the West. The new chancellor is corrupt and helped cover up the embazzling of over 60 billion euros in the largest tax fraud in German history (CumEx). Forgive me for being skeptical. This is likely smoke and mirrors, just like their announcement to legalize cannabis to distract young voters from all the scandals and authoritarian policies.
Yes, I’m sure. It’s been happening to me a lot with DDG lately. Unfortunately, I haven’t been keeping track of the circumstances, but it seems to correlate with my usage of iCloud Private Relay. I suspect it happens when I’m routed through either Cloudflare or Akamai, but not both. Waiting 10 minutes tends to result in a new route.

It’s very odd behavior, but when it happens, it’s as though a particular organization is scrubbed from the search results. I’m regularly researching controversial organizations, so I find this particularly inconvenient, but at least it’s conspicuous.

Occasionally it’ll happen to mainstream sites such as Hulu. That leads me to believe it may be some sort of regional or safe search glitch, but the correct results will eventually reappear without changing any settings. Regardless of the cause, it comes across as censorship—even Wikipedia will be missing from the results.
Mozilla's decision avoids tumbling all the way down the slope in a must-win race to the bottom to reduce user pushback for mis-configured sites.

Previously the situation was many sites seem to work fine in (for example) Edge, but don't work all the time in Firefox. What do you do if you're the average user? Do you track down every site owner whose site malfunctions, drive over and insist they fix it? No. You delete Firefox and switch to Edge.

Nothing is "wrong" with your perfect world outcome, Mozilla's change doesn't prevent it - it just won't happen anyway.
I looks like you're focusing on the wrong bit of what I said.
Frightening. Apparently cooperation with law enforcement has a long tail and can compromise online account recovery. There needs to be some third/online mechanism to reassert control.

Is this a telegram specific problem? Hard to know from a skim read of the translation.

Note: there is no implied commentary on the legality or illegality of what the OP did, or really even what happened once his phone was in the hands of the police: this is a comment about what happens afterward, far away back outside.

Unrelated ancient history abounds of broken account recovery mechanisms which defied reset, and so permit repeated breaking back in. It felt like the comments suggest some scripted access code held a binding open.
> this question has been settled at the federal level by the Supreme Court for over a century.

Right, the Federal government does not have the right to force the public to take a shot, while states may. It may appear that public health is being run at the national level, but really the CDC issues recommendations and many states ignore these recommendations and replace them with their own. Public health is run by the states, but that doesn't mean the state can do whatever it wants. Each state has its own constitution, and its own state supreme court that verifies whether any mandate is lawful, so this is going to depend on the state constitution and local public health laws.
There's two SSRI-like drugs called vilazodone and vortioxetine that are indicated for it, as is esketamine.

There are also a few antipsychotic-like drugs that are used at low doses for antidepressant effects along with other antidepressants, but I'm not sure if the newer ones are indicated for depression, or if the newer ones are just reformulations of existing medications. It looks like there's a newer olanzapine combination on the market.
Ask HN: What would you do if you got Covid?
i dont have covid, but just curious if anything changed recently?

most of what i have is follow the advice of doctors and cdc.

i know there are boosters and pills, but not sure if theres anything new outside of that?

im pretty sure people who are up there still got priority service too
> If Mozilla made a chrome UI for those settings, they'd be accused of adding bloat to Firefox, creating complex options that confuse users, and making Firefox harder to use than Chrome-based browsers.

Possibly, but does Mozilla actually care about accusations of bloat or poor usability?

I don't have an iPhone but I've always been shooting RAW on my phones and then processed the photos in LightRoom. As soon as I use one of the "lenses" on my phone (like "night shot" or "panorama" or even "wide angle"/"tele") I only get a JPG. The RAW file is only created when I shoot using the basic camera. This is the case for my current OnePlus but also previous phones (Google, Nokia).
Sit at home, take some painkillers for fever and get over it? That’s exactly what I have done, having had COVID for the last week. It’s been nothing worse than a cold, but YMMV.
This is the way. Defy hypermedia dependence.

They are not experienced in the environment then? It is not that hard. Sure it is spartan as the tooling is not what you expect in 2021, but this seems a bit over the top?

http://nsl.com/ can, years later even (as can I but he has an impressive portfolio which makes it obvious).
Since a few people already have mentioned Rectangle for Window management, I wanted to point out that there is also a payed version of it called Hookshot (https://hookshot.app/). The same developer also offers a great app called Hyperkey (https://hyperkey.app/) which defines CAPS as your hyper-key.
I'm in my 40s and am exactly the same. All my energy goes into work and family and at the end of the day, there is nothing left for cultivating friendships.

I tell myself that when my daughter grows up and I have more time I cultivate friendships again (though I may have forgotten how to).
Systems of least privilege prevent the levels of access exploitation (either vuln or misconfigure) from going further than is risk assessed. Or from "accidents" like a little utility script nuking the database with root privilege. Or having multiple entry points with their own tables of data. That's the difference between "hackers stole X but not Y and Z" and "hackers dumped everything".

Your "backend" should not be assumed to be the infallible security. Outside of limiting DB access procledges, we have proper selinux and other configs to lock down the software abilities so even in the case of Arbitrary code execution caused by a common exploit it may be very difficult to use. This is important when you're running a box with multiple other applications with their own DB's as well.

Infact these reasons are why many times the "backend" software and DB are hardware isolated or at least VM isolated so that those db access limitations aren't bypassed.
> The whole thing caused me to very seriously question the strength of "medical opinion", given patient history, a routine request to simply continue proven treatment turned into a risk scenario for no reason other than the tangled mess of insurers, agreements, drug manufacturers, and the like all more focused on profit than they are patient health.

The flip side of this is the "pharmaceutical representative" entire job description. Basically, your doctor has a wide range of words they use to describe how to treat you. Some of them wind up with the insurance company paying $15 for generic medication, while others wind up doing something like spending $400 on something under patent protection. Pharma's reps jobs are to talk to physicians and educate/convince them to use the expensive words instead of the cheap words out of force of habit.

Anyhow, that's why HMOs and insurers have approved medication lists - to push back against doctors writing down a $400 word instead of a $15 because a pharma representative said that FooBar XR treats Baz syndrome and the doctor wrote that down instead of the generic BarFoo.
I recently discovered this pattern in cgltf (https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf), and I agree, it makes deployment so much nicer.
I agree - it is getting harder and harder to fully turn off skin smoothing on cellphones and webcam software. You can turn it down, but rarely off.
This depends if we think there is a "magic AI to solve it for us" or use of tight feedback loops mediated by software.

To overuse an example, logistics is the latter - the software tells each person what box to move to where and when. Decision making is removed.

I call this an immutable company - software is released once and that is the company. another release is a new compmay.

Now imagine taking this to other organisations. Civil service seems a likely area for much more restricted decision making - can't you imagine how much Congress would like to precisely define what civil servants can do - down to daily activities?
Indeed, just like an olympic medal. The MOF is a better example IMHO
Berlusconi (almost) came back from worse (procuring and organising prostitution, including underage, alongside corruption), and many countries have shown that even blatantly corrupt people are no longer unelectable, so there's nothing to say he won't come back to Austrian politics.
With a lot of phones you can have it save the raw image file so that you can convert it to jpeg yourself.
a high power government official can cover his tracks much better than an ordinary citizen, and thus is a subject to the higher standard of "guilty until proven innocent" in the face of any credible allegations of wrongdoing.
