It's an exaggeration, but he is right about one thing: developing countries have built very successful alternate digital financial infrastructures to bypass the duopoly of American financial giants (Visa, Mastercard and Amex).

These indigenous FinNet (financial networks), and services built on it like China's WeChat Pay, AliPay or India's UPI, Net Banking, digital Wallets etc. are today the most popular and preferred digital payment mode online than credit or debit cards. Credit and debit cards still rule on PoS / physical retail stores (atleast in India). But Russia, China and India also have invested in their own national payment processing system to compete with Visa / Mastercard, and have taken away a substantial market share from them through their home-grown debit / credit cards (MIR/МИР in Russia, UnionPay in China, RuPay in India). The reduced market share due to these local competitors have cost Visa & Mastercard loss of billions of dollars in these countries. Once these national payment processors go global, Visa and Mastercard will definitely have to lobby to the US to enforce some kind of protectionist measures to safeguard their business.
Is this the same dish as in the radiation hazard analysis here?

https://fcc.report/IBFS/SES-LIC-20190211-00151/1616679

It says transmitting at a slant (satellite at horizon) at the antenna surface they measure ~1mW/cm2; the MPE for a person is 1mw/cm2 averaged over 30 minutes. Since a cat is much smaller, how does that effect their absorption? What effects could be expected (if any) if a cat were to sleep all night on the dish?
Climate change does make the weather less predictable, as in higher variance on things like storms. So... they're probably not disagreeing with you.
That's the thing though - I don't want the complexity of Exchange, LDAP, etc. Complexity kills. This is a simple problem calling for a straightforward solution.
Just like fair use, these kinds of rights will disappear once enforcement is automated.
This bug could only have been introduced after 2000, because if it can't fit a number beginning with 22 it certainly can't fit one beginning with 96.
Banks have provisional accounts which they use to make customers whole. They don’t know where your check went either but they’ll make you whole while they figure it out. Your check will be credited to their provisional account if they find it!

I worked for a large bank and they ran into an “issue” which required making a whole lot of clients whole out of provisional accounts while they figured out what happened. I can tell the balance of those accounts became a metric which many people were evaluated by.
Because you aren't hiring people to sit on legislators 24/7 and drive agendas, and industry is. That's why. Is it any surprise the only ones who seem to lose out in this game is the consumer?
FWIW, I used "the" with "entire": while I am not a native English speaker nor intimately familiar with the grammar, "in entire <whatever-country>" without the definite article sounds out of place to me.

You can see that I did not use "the" when referring only to Ukraine in a sibling comment.
That's their point. Not everything done in a market economy is done with a goal of gaining a financial benefit.

"When lead ore is first processed, it is purified and most of the uranium is removed. Whatever lead 210 is already present begins to break down, with half of it decaying on average every 22 years. In Roman lead almost all of the lead 210 has already decayed, whereas in lead mined today, it is just beginning to decay."

HTTP Basic Auth was deprecated a long time ago, back when HTTPS was a very expensive exotic thing that only large sites used. I'm not sure it would be worth deprecating freshly today if it came up, now that anyone who wants HTTPS can get it easily. It may not be the perfect solution to everything but it does fill in a nice space, even in its current form. If browsers would just pay a bit more attention to it it could become very nice; most of its worst quirks are technically in the browsers, not the protocol.
I added a greenland temperature chart overlayed with historical events. Yes, the previous warm periods mentioned where global, they where a lot warmer than today and things mostly got better. The last IPCC report fails to account for global greening, which is a giant effect. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/greening-of-the-earth-mitigates...
If you want to work on, e.g. making a neat web demo with Virgil and Wasm, you don't need to know of the compiler internals, as you won't need to poke around inside the compiler. That one is mostly specifying some external functions to import into your Virgil program, writing the Virgil program, and then writing the JS glue to get the resulting Wasm module to run in a browser.

I'd be happy to give pointers. In fact, I realize now that each of the above projects could probably benefit from a few paragraphs of documentation for any takers.

All people with OCPD have attention to details, but the reverse isn't true. But most good programmers do not have the other characteristics or OCPD like being “preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost” or “reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things”.
The Covid Insanity Has to End
From Wikipedia "A $10 million consumer launch of the product was funded by Washington State agriculture promotion funds through the Washington Apple Commission and other agencies.[5] The two taglines for the apple were "Imagine the Possibilities" and "The Apple of Big Dreams".[1] It is said to be the largest campaign in apple industry history,[16] and included payments to social media influencers and a partnership with a touring children's production of Johnny Appleseed.[17] The term "Cosmic Crisp" is trademarked.[1]"

The guy at my indie Seattle produce stand said that Big Apple is shilling Cosmic Crisp and it's all a scam. Maybe you're one of their underground campaigns?? I'm on to you, BIG APPLE

2% is awfully difficult to achieve without some radical lifestyle adjustments before and certainly after retirement.

Nonetheless, it’s a good idea. Instead of cash, however, I would opt for paid part-time work if possible.

A large cash reserve isn’t protected against inflation nor will it grow; the downsides are too big imho.
ok, so if we don't have multi-user support in the kernel, but instead implement it only as a layer in the GUI, each user gets a partition or disk image that is encrypted as their home directory that is mounted on login. the file/partition is protected against deletion.

i suppose that could work, but i see a few downsides to this approach:
all processes run in the same space. if i want to run a process in the background my home directory has to be remain mounted, and thus potentially be exposed to the next user. or i'd have to create a second partition for this special process which only an experienced power user would do.

so while i think this approach is possible, it doesn't look like it would make anything easier. on the contrary. the emergence of hostile apps on android demonstrates that privilege separation of processes is becoming more and more important.

the current multi-user approach is not good enough even for that. but instead of simplifying multi-user support to a single user, we actually need to make it more complex to properly handle multi-user-per-process separation.
Russia has completely neutralitzed the EU through energy dependence. They have more power over the EU in that sense than OPEC ever had over the US and we were completely cowed in that era.
Thanks. I was able to read [1] with the help of Google Translate. From what I understand, this is an announcement of the project being funded within the Moonshot program and thus it is expected that the capabilities discussed are the goal, not what the researchers have already demonstrated.

For the uninitiated, this calculator is actually for a broader movement called FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). They have subreddits at r/financialindependence and r/fire, and variants for the more ambitious like FatFIRE.

The general FIRE modus operandi is to live very financially frugally for a period of time (several years or more) to save as much money as possible to, well, retire early (or at least be comfortable with a less intensive and lower paying job).
> Happiness happens today, not some distant future.

Thank you for sharing your perspective from someone who has done it. And congratulations on becoming financially independent! I feel you have shared a lot of wisdom in that one sentence. Life is now, not later.

It echoes what my brother-in-law told me when I blathered in our family WhatsApp about my (maybe) plan for 2022: "If this is driven by your friend's unexpected passing, then my suggestion is to live each day. Don't wait for retirement as life is too unpredictable. You should be able to live a good life while saving for retirement."

I'm still on the fence about grinding LeetCode to get into a FAANG or equivalent. However, I am rationalizing that even if I don't go for FAANG, getting familiar with LeetCode (even if not a grind that consumes my life) could still be an invaluable skill to hone as it would make those types of interviews less of a concern and more companies are adopting CodeSignal-type online assessments as their pre-screens.

Looks like different regulations would apply for Twitter, Google and Facebook. Twitter does have some "public square" aspects, as does Fackbook, but Google really doesn't. It's just an ad giant that does some things like Android to increase its advertising efficiency.

What regulations would apply? Everything we've found out about Facebook from Frances Haugen the Facebook "whistleblower" has Facebook actually boosting conservative content. Seems like the old "liberal bias" canard doesn't apply there. Twitter's problem is mostly that the platform encourages dogpiling, and apparently they have a policy of allowing certain bot swarms to operate freely. Twitter should also carefully consider what letting spammers run free does to their reputation: faxing, phone calls, usenet have all fallen to spammers.

I have some emotional sympathy with breaking up any company that goes above a certain market capitalization, but it's really hard to quantify what the limit should be and why.

Treating large corporations as "public agencies" is the definition of socialism, too. I don't know how that could be done consistently - nationalize some companies, but not others seems unfair, and prone to abuse by political parties.
That's not an answer, nor do your other comments answer on the happiness of those who don't want to be a housewife.

Reading between the lines, your answer so far is "Sucks to be them".
Stop passing plain passwords over the wire

Yes, you're correct. The page I linked to has this to say:

"For example, the health risk caused by radon is estimated on the basis of epidemiologic examinations, not the effective dose. Every year, an average of 280 Finns die from lung cancer caused by radon. Of these cases, 240 deaths are induced by smoking in addition to radon."

So they're not actually measuring an average 4 mSv/y dose from radon, but rather going the other way, that is that 280 yearly deaths from radon would be consistent with an average dose of 4 mSv/y (assuming LNT, presumably).
I think it is warranted to have a conservative estimate given the aging of the population pyramid. There will be more demand for labor relative to supply than post WW2 decades which saw the opposite, increasing amounts of supply of labor relative to demand.

Although, more than cash, a few loyal and useful kids would be a much better play to mitigate those risks.
Seatbelts and drink driving rules don’t totally eliminate car crashes, but they do reduce their frequency and consequences. Likewise vaccines and masks for COVID.

Indeed, if we had 100% vaccine uptake, or 100% sobriety, then all COVID incidents would be vaccinated just as all car crashes would have sober drivers.

“Learning to live with COVID” ought to imply “learning to live with masks and vaccines”, not “lose your sense of smell and be ill for an extra week each year”.

> The first quote is a symptom of you choosing to seek your information from the “ADHD controvieries” page in bad faith

It’s not bad faith. There is much more than what I quoted that is reasonable to question about ADHD research and treatment.

What is bad faith is to tell people not to look at the contradictory results. If you choose not to look at results that don’t confirm your view, then of course you will think there is a consensus.

> Your second quote is a relatively mainstream finding. There’s not a robust linkage between academic performance as determined by grades and medication-based ADHD treatment.

That suggests strongly that the drugs are prescribed to benefit teachers and classmates, rather than the individual with ADHD who doesn’t gain.
Ok, but if you handle that in the app, it doesn't get invoked for CSS/JS/images/etc requests.

Qualitatively.

> do you have some metrics you can share?

Not really. Try to have discussions using DeepL and Google Translate. Ask native speakers which one was more accurate and whatnot.

I do not know French, but DeepL allowed me to speak to someone using the language, and apparently at some point some people thought I was a native speaker!
way ahead? On what metrics?

"leaving them alone" is straight-up naivete, especially when you consider the US military presence. I cannot imagine anyone who has seen a world map seriously advancing the idea of HK independence, it's not even what HK itself wants. Their current methods seem shortsighted and heavy-handed but China's objective of national security is eminently rational. To say it's in their best interest to leave them alone is simply absurd and clearly only accounts for Western perspectives
Has anyone heard of Kanzi here in Australia?

It's a cross between Braeburn and Gala, same as NZ's Jazz.

It's a bit more expensive than Gala or Pink Lady, but it has a firm crisp texture and maybe a tart skin but with an easier bite than Pink Lady, quite scrumptious.

1) I know that HackerNews has a strong anti-crypto bias, but let me pitch Hub20 (https://hub20.io), the self-hosted payment gateway for ethereum (and EVM-compatible) blockchains I'm working on is usable - if you are willing to invest some time/energy to overcome the rough edges - but I am having more ideas than capacity to build all I have in mind. Integration with more layer-2 projects (it started with a focus on Raiden, now it can also work with Optimism/Arbitrum, this year I want to integrate Loopring and zkSync) to make transactions cheaper/faster.

2) Not crypto related, but still about decentralized web: If someone has experience or interest in working with search and content discovery on the Fediverse, I'm willing to collaborate and even (modestly) sponsor whoever wants to work on a "CommonCrawl" for fediverse content, and further on a "CommonIndex" and "CommonRank" system that can make it easier for instance administrators to offer a global search system that avoids replicating indices of the entire fediverse on each instance.

3) I started learning Go a couple of times, but I haven't found a project that is small enough for me to take on individually but big enough to make it interesting to continue. I have two ideas that if might appeal a more experienced Go developer that could at least provide some mentorship/guidance:

3.1) adding an extension to IPFS that gives adds a "Web Of Trust" to nodes and use that as a way to build an ACL-based permission to my pinned content. Use-case: if you have content that you don´t mind being public but you don't want to have your server as the main distribution channel.

3.2) Adding some kind of middleware for syncthing that allows pre/post-processing of files before syncing. I've written some of the motivation about at https://raphael.lullis.net/thinking-heads-are-not-in-the-clo..., but another example use-case I'd be interested: I host my music collection (large FLAC files, hundreds of GBs) on my NAS, and I'd like my phone only with a subset of these songs, converted to some reasonable lossy format).

I am generally a fan of the FIRE methodology, but recent inflation levels have scared me that, if they are not corrected, saving potentially looses too much value.

Any thoughts on this?
You should take a closer look at AppWrite, AzureB2C, or Google's Firebase.

You can even have Azure or Google connect to your own custom identity provider.

It's only a few lines of code to implement user management using identities you control.

I get not wanting to get locked into these things, but once you learn how they function, you can switch between identity providers in minutes.

I do get the sentiment though, but for something like this my vote would be for certificates instead of basic auth.
I think there's a possibility that omicron may mark the end of this pandemic. Anybody who refuses to get vaccinated will very likely get omicron within the next few weeks. So your immune system will either develop antibodies as a result of being vaccinated, or as a result of being infected. Well, there is the third option of dying from covid, but the current evidence seems to indicate that the risk of hospitalization or death from omicron is lower than from covid-19 or delta.

To be sure, the descendants of the novel coronavirus that appeared in Wuhan in 2019 will float around the human population indefinitely. Omicron isn't the end of covid, but it could be the end of widespread hospitalizations and deaths. At least until the next crisis comes along.
Yes, if you use PBKDF2 for the hashing and you do it with every request.

In my template I’m using bcrypt and I’m doing it with every request. That might not scale well.

One commenter suggested storing a session token, probably one that expires, and not authenticating if that exists.

But, I’m using this for MVP’s to see if they’ll gain any kind of traction. Once a tool gets the kind of traction where this will be a problem it will be time to rethink the auth method.
Why would you need to index it by the clear-text password? You don't need to retrieve the clear-text password, it doesn't have to be stored in the cache at all.

The cache itself would be in the memory of a process which had access to cleartext passwords anyway, so presumably an exploit which allowed you to read the cache would be damning no matter what.
Interesting link, thanks for sharing!

Significant means that hunters need to hand in their boar, it will be checked and if it surpasses the health levels defined, they're reimbursed with 250€ for every boar. This is taxpayer money. And just the state of Bavaria pays millions every year.
Latency and startup time are largest contributors to my feeling. I don’t have a measurement, and both are difficult to measure.
Caddy comes with basic auth support because it's still useful for a lot of use cases.

IMO the biggest weakness of basicauth (when deployed over TLS) is the fact that most server configurations store the passwords in plaintext, usually in a config file. This is like storing passwords in plaintext in a database. Caddy does not allow this. You have to use a secure hash on the password before adding it to your config: https://caddyserver.com/docs/modules/http.authentication.pro...

Of course, password hashes are slow, so KDF'ing a plaintext string at every HTTP request can grind even powerful servers to a halt. So Caddy can optionally cache hash results in memory (we do expect memory to be safer than a config file -- and Go is a memory-safe language in this regard). And while this can introduce nuanced timing variances (fast if recently hashed), they do not necessarily correspond to correct passwords.

If you think this stuff is interesting and want to help make Caddy's basic auth even better, feel free to contribute or sponsor: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy
Hi, I have been working on a trading bot for crypto in rust for the last ~18 months. The agent and the infrastructure (collecting and preprocessing data) are up and running. I have been collecting and cleaning TBs (yes TBs) of data for ~1 year now. However, I have way too little knowledge in ML/AI and it is very hard to fill the gap. I am looking for someone that can help me in that area and improve the bot to leverage the data using some ML/AI. I can provide more info. Contact info should be available in the profile.
