You have misunderstood, the latter refers to "download the .php files, 'require' them", which is the situation you say exists right now.

I'm going to leave this by saying that I think the idea that you can make developers more conscientious by increasing busywork, is false. All it achieves is creating more busywork. Unconscientious developers will do the busywork and not scrutinise the library anyway, conscientious developers will just have to do extra busywork.

A better solution would be to provide a composer metadata file and to publish each new release using a new major release number each time, which is arguably the proper way to signal to consumers of the library that each version needs careful scrutiny and testing, as major release numbers signal breaking changes.

Or Directory Opus. I preferred the version 3 approach with two side by side directories, but the current version is ridiculously configurable.
A fine-grained permissions system could fix this by disallowing raw shell execs, or at least bringing immediate attention to the places (in the code) they are used.
You might just be sitting more as you get older and thus are causing reduced circulation to your feet.

As 70-85% of Indians are Hindus and they burn their deceased, if someone wanted to count total number of deaths by dead bodies, they would not be able to.

In the UK, we're told that if someone let's us out, we should always look first to make sure nothing else is coming. Just because you allowed them to pull out doesn't mean you told them it was safe to do so, and they should have still looked to ensure it was safe to pull out.

I agree with your wife and don't think you caused the accident. It was their fault for not being more aware of their surroundings.

Humans never had the capacity to communicate via text with hundreds and thousands of other humans until very recently. We're just not wired to take in random thoughts from inanimate blinking lights. This is partly why social media is such a shit show, where civil discussion is next to impossible, and platforms are ripe for abuse by anyone who wishes to influence how entire segments of society think and act.

So, no, blocking accounts is not only acceptable, but the only line of defense for someone who still wishes to engage in honest discourse on those platforms.

> If GDPR allows controllers to slip out of their obligations by using sub-contractors to firewall their legal responsibilities, then it would be useless as a data protection law

And that's why it is.

Because it didn't take into account how companies work in practice.

A SaaS company has both individuals as well as organisation as customers and thus operates as a data controller and data processor.

Reality is that you can't ask each individual company to sign a document for each new subprocessor or data processing agreement modifications.

> The vaccine is safe and effective

Both the mRNA and the Adenovirus-based vaccines are novel and their long-term effects have not been studied. There is simply no scientific evidence that these vaccines are safe.

The benefits of administering these vaccines to vulnerable groups may outweigh the risks. But doing so for groups with little risks from Covid or even children where much less data is available is very questionable.
They are like us, but they aren't us. This is an example of the former.
SEC Pushes for More Transparency from Private Companies
We’ve had very good testing in our area for a long time, good enough that our testing effort was written about in The Economist. We have a lot of people get tested routinely such as students at the local uni and my wife when she was working at a nursing home.

Sometimes it seems that ratio of people with symptoms to surveillance tests changes but I think it is fair to compare this year with last year on my location with the caveat that a factor of 2 could be hiding somewhere.
While I'm sure the unvaccinated represent more, it's also true that many reporting stats considered double vaccinated to be in the unvaccinated category if they are eligible for a booster and haven't had them.
Ask HN: I’m starting a new job and things feel off. Am I overreacting?
I’m starting a new job this month at a medium-sized software company (in business one decade, approx $150ARR, has received multiple rounds of funding, looking to IPO, ~500 people).

I accepted an offer and I was asked to join four to five calls with vendors ahead of my start date. This felt like “work” to me since each call takes prep and led to follow-up calls. Having not yet worked in the role, I’m also lacking context on the business problems leading us to chat with these vendors in the first place. To be frank, it feels very unnecessarily rushed which is ringing some alarm bells.

My new boss says it’s not really a big deal to ask me to join these calls before my start date. I suggested we either move my start date up ahead of the calls I was asked to join or I invoice for my time ahead of starting. He scoffed at both but mentioned “they’d take care of me” with “maybe an extra vacation day”. Vacation time at this company is “unlimited” so I don’t really see that as a perk.

I should mention the reason he’d like me to join the calls is that I will be using the tool from the vendor we select. It’s nice to be consulted but it doesn’t feel right to be asked to join work calls without being compensated. I wouldn’t push this angle but I also suspect it’s illegal.

My boss has also made several comments about the work I’ll be doing that have sounded very uneducated on the subject matter. I am walking into this job with the understanding that education will be a piece of my job but it was a surprise to learn the level of maturity of my boss’s understanding.

There have been other things that have felt unprofessional. IT mailed me my computer just before Christmas without talking to me, making me feel like I had to spend an extra day waiting on a FedEx package instead of hitting the road for holiday travel.

They promised an email on a certain date with my login credentials for my work email address and it didn’t arrive. HR has scheduled on-boarding Zoom sessions with our personal email addresses, exposing our personal emails to everyone else in the cohort starting on the same day (20-30 people).

Am I overreacting when I think about these signals? I guess the best I can do is get in there and see what the job is like, but all of these have combined to make me feel less than great about joining this company.

>> an NFT out of child sexual abuse material,

That is a really interesting question. Would that NFT be illegal to own or posess? It isnt the actual material. It could be a hash and ownership information, but the illegal material need not be in the NFT. Hashes for such material are not illegal. In fact there are databases full of such hashes in use by file hosting services to detect and remove such things. Owning an associated NFT would be like owning an NFT for "cocaine" but never being anywhere near real cocaine. It may be worthless, but i dont see how it would be actually illegal.
No, because it does not alter the supply. The algorithm in the blockchain software forces a certain rate of coins minted, regardless of the number of miners.

It will just make remaining miners more profitable. It will though reduce the security of the network by reducing the cumulative hashrate, but it's already incredibly secure, so I doubt that would have a big price impact.
Perhaps customers would be able to sponsor the review of specific packages.
Modern nutrition research is often imprecise and contradicts itself. An example:

> Research conducted at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health has found that eating even small amounts of red meat—especially processed red meat—on a regular basis is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, and the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease or any other cause.

Processed meats are defined as:

> Processed meat refers to any meat that has been “transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation.”

So they don't seems to make a distinction between a regular cut of beef and ground beef. I would think this distinction is important, because I believe ground meat often comes in a "whole unhealthy package" (burger, pizza, often it goes with cheese and sauces). But based on that article, there is no way to prove or deny that. Even with all of that they said, it's possible that a subset of what they consider "red meat" could be good for you, and another subset really terrible. The fat percentage and types may have an influence. The animal may have an influence. How the animal was fed may have an influence.

I have a hard time believing that 100g of local, grass fed beef steak is exactly the same as 100g of kebab meat from a low-quality kebab shop. But this article doesn't make a distinction between the two. There is also this statement:

> Plant-based protein sources are more unsaturated, which lowers LDL cholesterol—an established risk factor for heart disease. Also, plant sources contain no cholesterol. Other factors are likely to contribute to the lower risk, but this is a key factor.

I've heard plenty of time that your blood levels of cholesterol are not strongly correlated to the cholesterol you eat. From the same website you linked (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you...):

> The biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats and carbohydrates in your diet—not the amount of cholesterol you eat from food.

> The discovery half a century ago that high blood cholesterol levels were strongly associated with an increased risk for heart disease triggered numerous warnings to avoid foods that contain cholesterol, especially eggs and liver. However, scientific studies show a weak relationship between the amount of cholesterol a person consumes and his or her blood cholesterol levels

> In studies of more than 80,000 female nurses, Harvard researchers found that consuming about an egg a day was not associated with higher risk of heart disease.

> The body uses cholesterol as the starting point to make estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D, and other vital compounds.

There's a problem here. One article is claiming that you should eat plants because they don't have cholesterol, and cholesterol is an established risk factor for heart disease. The other article says that this makes low to no difference, especially if you don't have heart disease already.
So we should just expect people to be greedy and try to ruin systems for their own benefit. That raises the question of how to make these systems more robust to defend against that sort of attack.
Unfortunately it's too easy to believe this. During the height of the delta wave, my old classmates from India were frantically sharing tips on our alumnae Whatsapp group on how to source ventilators for family members. Everybody had a parent, aunt, or uncle in the ICU. Many didn't make it. One classmate reported that in the space of a 2-week period, 10 members of his extended family had died. This is all anecdotal, but seems indicative of a situation that goes far far FAR beyond the official statistics.
Yes, I think that would be an excellent idea, and quite a few countries are in fact moving in that direction.

Early evidence is that the protection against transmission from the booster appears to be quite fleeting (weeks, not months), so the main reason to vaccinate is really to protect yourself.
This is a good thing. Imagine if we kept model-t's as our primary car instead of evolving.

> Have you read the joinjabber.org security FAQ i linked?

Not in detail as the OP linked to another article. We commented on OP's other article, not on your joinjabber.org security FAQ.

> we were tired of FUD spread by articles like yours

Where is the FUD? Your security FAQ mentions most, if not all, of our findings in the same or similar way.

> Reality is more complex than a binary "is it secure?"

Indeed. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people assume security is binary. Back to OP's article where they look at some isolated properties to then declare a protocol secure.
I would argue some of those regulations are moat building explicitly to ensure healthcare as a commodity.
Less involved, more corrupt. It's over-involved because it's corrupt. Giving the government more power will only increase corruption.

Not an appropriate tone for HN discussion.
I wish I could upvote this more than once. For me nothing else I have ever found is nearly as effective as lifting.
What about treatment for severe conditions such as cancer or chronic conditions such as life-long disabilities where the expense is significant to the point that it may well be crippling for an individual but is rare enough that it's only a moderate cost spread across a society?

These are the cases where insurance is a perfect fit. The issue with letting it be market-based insurance is that (as you say) it allows insurance providers to take a fat cut. The obvious solution is to regulate insurance costs. At which point you might as well state fund it. Which leads us to the system we have in most of Europe.

As these system seem to work quite well, why do you think a market-based approach would be better?
If it was to be legalised, would it not be better all around to buy from sources that will contribute taxes and not towards crime?

Presumably along with the legalisation there will come business opportunities?

I'm not sure what kind of a response you're likely to get here on HN, but it _appears_ on the surface that you're asking for help with something both morally and legally questionable.

China’s zero COVID efforts and policy seem to be real, not made up.

However given there have been a number of small outbreaks they have either been very lucky it has never spread to a vulnerable person or they have covered up several deaths over the last year.

Western journalists and businessmen are on the ground throughout the country (not to mention family ties and communications between expat Chinese and their families) and if there were a major outbreak of COVID killing dozens or hundreds, i dont think they’d be able to cover it up.
As an Indian living in India, I've heard some of these stories:

a. They are asked to get admitted "for observation because they are at high risk". If they ask to leave, the doctors ask them to sign a very scary sounding wavier disclaiming the hospital of responsibility for their death.

b. There apparently this one lab that will return a positive covid test if the docs ask them to and they get a cut of what the patient pays.

It needs to be said that I don't know if any of these are true.

All us crypto-skeptics know about this is that it's technically possible to effectively erase and redistribute transactions by doing a hard-fork and that "the community" have shown they're quite willing to do so. Saying that they technically can't be erased but that they'd always exist in a potentially-worthless fork isn't exactly reassuring. In fact it's a little bit disingenuous because I think it's pretty clear what people's issue is with "immutability" (namely "they say it's immutable, but it looks like they can and will mutate it") and this is quite an artful dodge around around that. And people like us see that the world of cryptocurrencies is rife with scammy activity and bad actors, so we go "ah ok, it's just another one of those" and move on.
