I love this. I have a disorder with no cure, so I will take medication daily for the rest of my life. Worse, it's a controlled substance, so there are all sorts of obstacles thrown in my way arbitrarily. I have to get a new prescription written by my doctor every 3 months, which is a pain in the ass as I have to deal with the bureaucracy. Every time I change jobs, new insurance requires "prior authorization" in addition to a new prescription, so more BS. If I'm traveling abroad, the pharmacy can't ship overseas, and if I get a prescription there, the insurance company won't cover it (and it's more than $1000 / month). Doctors office running a few days behind or not answering faxes (lol) from the pharmacy when I need a new script (happens most of the time I need one)? SOL. Fuck this whole system. I am sick of having to ask permission to get the medicine I need.
Probably the 'manufacturing revolution' will be modifying yeast, plants, etc. to produce the chemical compound of interest. Everyone needn't have expensive equipment - testing can be outsourced. Such an effort would need a GPL like agreement to keep people honest, but the technology exists.
There are companies providing fake phishing messages as a service. Use those and attach penalties for repeat idiots. If they don't care about putting the company at risk, they might at least think about putting their own employment at risk.

Edit following the comments: maybe reversing the approach would work, by attaching monetary rewards to correctly reporting phishing emails? That would encourage everyone to be extra suspicious and report anything that looks amiss for the chance of getting some extra cash while avoiding the negatives of firing people on sight.
Everything is a market. Someone has to produce a finite supply for some cost. There is some demand for the medicine. Suppliers can be incentivized to produce by demand through price.

Look up the percentage of all drugs that were invented in the United States. Socialized medicine is subsidized by capitalist innovation overseas. There are so many problems with the US system, but they have more to do with regulatory capture (including difficulty of FDA approval + difficulty of becoming a doctor) and price transparency than anything else.
You're assuming the host/client relationship is one way, and that the parties are "independent". In many cases I've seen proposed in research, remote attestation is used to secure a single-party app that is spread over multiple devices that the runs their app on.

For example, if I run an app, which also requires me to run some code in a container in a data center, I as the client, want to remotely attest that the code in the data center is not running in a tampered fashion.

Or perhaps I have my watch, AR glasses, and phone are collaborating, and these three devices come from different manufacturers, and are running different software, and I want to ensure that none of them has been tampered with.

And let's not forget IoT devices, which are the killer application I've seen suggested for remote attestation.

"with neutral protocols mediating between them". Protocols aren't implementations. There are cases when I am interacting with someone else and I want them to prove their identity to me, including the identity of their software. Maybe I'm running a supposedly secure chat client in an authoritarian state, and I want to know that the chat client they're running isn't a trojan they got from a government security service.

You don't need remote attestation to get to the bad places you suggestion. App Stores have been like that for years without attestation. Consoles have been closed down for decades. Relatively simple, unsophisticated copy protection can prevent most people from running what they want, no fancy crypto protocols needed.

Agreed, regulators granting your company a monopoly is definitely the opposite of capitalism in a significant sense, even if the company does use wage-labor to produce products whose ownership rests with the owners of the means of production rather than the laborers.

Being originally from Broward County, it was great to see this!

I wish these kind of programs weren’t limited to private schools - my own high school (https://www.browardschools.com/dillardhigh) had a great technology program.

While it helped build my career, it struggled to get investment and was the only public school in the county with these courses. I would have expected for it to be replicated.
> sad that people can lose situational awareness like this

Sorry, it genuinely sounds like you're saying that it's sad someone can lose situational awareness of where their phone is...

> just assault someone and no longer care about the consequences

And this also sounds like you're talking about the phone again.

What is even the point of comments like this?
Alcohol poisoning _is_ a life or death situation.

If you felt the person was a danger to themselves or others they were right to redirect you to 911.

Off-topic, but one of the symptoms of alcohol poisoning is confusion. If memory serves, a drunk, off-duty Texas cop once shot in to the wrong apartment, confusing it with their own home while thinking an intruder was present. The kind of erratic behavior you described is absolutely dangerous, especially in a place with as many guns as Texas.
Thank you for your advice! I'll see if she's used any of those before and if not we'll look at trying them out.
Care to share sources corroborating any of this?

All I can find is anonymous stuff on a website called http://techrights.org/ which has a series of articles trying to in some way associate Nat with [redacted]'s domestic violence.

The "best friend" claim seems to have started with a weird "teaser" post on techrights.org wherein an anonymous source claims that "many others" can confirm that [redacted] was close to Nat. That of course doesn't even come close to establishing that either of them considers the other their "best friend", if it's trustworthy to begin with.

Then techrights.org cites their own teaser in other posts as saying that [redacted] claims Nat is his best friend (not true, or at least not supported by the source).

Now you are, I guess, using that as your basis to claim that they ARE in fact best friends.

I realise it's possible you're entirely honest and have sources I don't, but this looks like a pretty cynical smear job to me, especially given that none of the sources I've managed to find asserting that the two were close date from before this domestic abuse case. I don't have any insider knowledge, but the superficial appearance of all this is that a handful of activists with something against Nat have cooked up this "best friend" narrative for some reason, gradually escalating the claim each time they cite each other, and ultimately it all hinges on an anonymous source saying that other anonymous sources say that the two were close once.
I don't know if it is or not, but the timing (Nov 2021) is exactly right.

To take action against someone based on an unproven accusation of conduct outside of the workplace seems like the perfect way to get you sued. I'm sure if convicted he will become persona non grata. But until that point he should be entitled to the presumption of innocence.
This makes no sense, your analogy.

When you're SELLING a five star product, and you choose only to SELL it to [people who you look upon favorably] then you're discriminating.

Someone looks at one star homes (for example) on AirBnB, and five star. Chooses a five star. They haven't discriminated against any protected class in choosing the five star home. The homeowner absolutely can by refusing.

When planning to rebuild Notre Dame de Paris, there was a proposal to use titanium beams instead of the flammable oak ones that caused the deflagration in the same place, but they opted to go the original route, which involved finding old oak trees across France to harvest.
Also flickering. Yes, it's a problem for OLED displays. One might assume (like I did) that if you don't have a backlight, you couldn't have that problem in an active-matrix display, but because OLEDs tend to have quite wild shifts in color over their full dynamic range OLEDs are usually driven with some sort of dual-sweep scanout which turns the pixels off completely between frames for dim outputs. As I understand it, the drive regime for these is somewhere between a DMD (clever PWM for brightness control, purely digital) and a normal TFT (purely analog control).
The direct cost to the consumer is $0 (or lira, or EU, or whatever), but that's because public healthcare negotiated with the power of a volume customer to agree on a fixed price, which is paid for by the government, which is paid for by people's taxes. So what you're doing is spreading the cost of the drug across the population. I had a similar situation when I had kaiser- no out of pocket costs.

As to why drugs are expensive in the US: because the market bears it. Demand is just elastic enough (or inelastic, I always get it backwards) in the US that providers slowly edge prices up. Sometimes they get it wrong for example aduhelm didn't sell so it had a huge price drop recently.

> a lot of the identified issues are things that are seen in businesses EVERYWHERE

Exactly this is the problem. And exactly this shit needs to stop asap!

What you're basically saying is: "Software can't be secure at all. So what's the point?"

This line of thinking is completely flawed.

Software is in the end a mathematical construct and can be even proven secure (according to some arbitrary formal definition of "secure"). That's only a matter of the amount of money you're willing to throw onto this problem in the long run!

Starting to jail the people actually responsible for all the daily IT security nightmares (those people are not the developers!) is the only way to get to an end with all the madness modern software development is.

As long as the "bugs are an ordinary part of software" attitude prevails nothing will change. But this attitude can only change if the responsible people start to feel consequences for creating one tire-fire after an other—and getting away with it every time.
If Theia is older than the Earth, then wouldn't the Moon also be older?
Your Seagal story reminds of a bit further back, in 1995. That was when Hillary Clinton went to Nepal, and along the way made the claim that she was named after Edmund Hillary. Ignore that she was born six years before his famed climb, and her mother unlikely to have heard of him in the U. S. Make of it what you will, that isn't my point.

My point is that in 1995, my first thought was, "you know, we can instantly check this stuff now, as the words leave your lips." I don't know that politicians have been made more honest as a result, but it's an improvement anyway.

In the case of Cramer, who cares enough to trade on his recommendations? Doesn't matter, that isn't the point (but thank you, TFA author, for the effort). The point is that instead of vague memories of how it turned out, like we'd have to make do with 40 years ago, we have folks that can make sense of 20K records and tell you whether Cramer is full of shit, generally speaking.
That is pretty cool, and I'll definitely be taking a look (I was actually looking for what Julia was doing in the notebook space just the other day). Also the course seems interesting as well.

But I feel compelled to at least remark on the fact that they call this "revolutionary", which is a bit much and cringe worthy. While it is indeed a nice package, just don't call it revolutionary, when this type of thing has been available either in part or whole in things like Mathematica, MATLAB, LabVIEW for years (decades really) and other notebooks have very nice features as well. It's just MIT can't do anything without a little hubris.
It can still trivially be tracked by the card networks as people start reporting large fraudulent charges and card details aren't worth the hassle unless you're literally getting thousands of them (via PoS malware or similar automated means). The other commenters' idea of raising the price a little bit and pocketing the difference is more likely to last and net more money in the long run as less people would question and bother disputing a slight surcharge.
Well, on the margin is makes finding a block take marginally longer (is my understanding). So over looong periods of time, it would lead to marginal differences in outstanding blocks.

But with the resets in the difficulty (to target ~10min block time, again I could be wrong) every two weeks, it's not really an issue.

On the other hand, it should increase the profitability of mining for those left in the game, who are X% more likely to get a block with the rest of the network down.

Normally I think this kind of speculation is dangerous, but there is actual data to back you up[1].

Strangulation is a singularly accurate predictor of future homicide. There seems to be a world of difference between just hitting someone and actually trying to crush their throat with your bare hands. It should be taken far, far more seriously than it is -- attempted murder at least.

It does take a lot of time and experience to create these types of solutions.

For example I put together https://buildasaasappwithflask.com/. It's a video course and SAAS example app that ties together a bunch of features. I've easily put in over 1,000 hours to create and update it over time. It's also been extracted from building multiple SAAS apps for clients (I do contract work).

The way I look at it, it's paying $59 once to get a well tested code base that's going to save you 100+ hours of research and development. I also give lifetime updates and support along with refunds for up to 1 year. For context since I created it in 2015 I've re-recorded the course twice and continuously add a bunch of incremental updates. Every few months I go in and update things to their latest versions. Answered a countless number of questions too.
I'd be very surprised if a Stripe API key can be used to easily extract funds. I don't think you can directly buy gift cards/vouchers, and adding a new bank account is probably possible but would require manual verification which would blow up the attempt before it succeeds.

The article doesn't provide some key details regarding the one-day returns, particularly the precise timeframe used. If the price of a stock rises sharply the instant it's mentioned on the show then decays gradually, and the basis price being compared is the pre-mention price, then the returns would largely be illusory---you'd have to beat the near-instantaneous initial rise to make any money. Otherwise, you'd be likely to lose money by pursuing this strategy because your buy would be executed at or near the local peak.

On the other hand, if the basis for the buy is the price say, an hour after the show, and the sell is priced 24 hours later, then it would be a viable trading strategy for an individual investor.

The new spectrometers are using YBCO, and they are many years beyond schedule. That whole thing turned out to be a lot harder than many people seemed to expect.

The magnets are not the only cost in NMR spectrometers, I think you're seriously understimating the amount of electronics in them. You need to detect very weak signals at several hundreds of MHz, that's not trivial.
Alright, sure. I've been talking about this relationship with Nat for over a year now. It's been confirmed by Miguel de Icaza to me personally.

Alex mentioned his relationship with Nat several times and used it to threaten me on multiple occasions.

Anarchism is indeed fundamentally against coercive hierarchy, yes, and I apologize for not being clearer about that. That said, Emma Goldman and many other anarchists were delighted to be deported to Soviet Russia until their famous disillusionment; historically speaking, the mainstream of anarchism considered state communism more friend than enemy, until they saw how it worked out in practice. And my own experiences with nominally anti-hierarchical organizations have not given me great faith.
>Sure, you can be preempted by another thread (or even process) even within an async function, so why should it matter?

You misunderstand. Its not about whether your thread can be pre-empted, its that your logical execution can hold exclusive access to a thread. There are common design patterns that use exclusive threads as a means of synchronization.

If you have valid card info and a cardholder attempting to buy something in real-time, why not just proxy their card details and any verification (3D-Secure, etc) directly to a gift card/cryptocurrency exchange/etc? I'm sure it'll net way more than selling the card details as it effectively bypasses the 3D-Secure step which typically protects against card-not-present fraud.
