I was surprised because when I posted it yesterday, I got a few comments on twitter, but today my inbox was full of comments on the blog post. I was afraid to post a story with many personal details like this, but I figured, I've been self-censoring too much recently. I have a story to tell, and I'm sure many people will be able to relate.

I had a similar experience. I watched a YouTube talk about using stacked k-means to do deep learning without artificial neurons (deep learning without neural networks). I found that super fascinating and I had a bunch of questions, so I managed to find the author's email (public because he was an academic) and we chatted about his research for a while. It was amazing being able to talk directly to the researcher.
I work for a marketing agency as a contractor and they use Bitwarden.

Also, I'm a happy and paying user personally.

Ask HN: Is TextExpander considered a security liability?
A little background on this question:

Healthcare provider productivity has captivated my attention, and I've noticed that a huge issue is note taking and document creation.

Many independent providers don't have the budget for Epic, or the time to create things in Dr. Chrono / other down market EHRs.

So a solution many seem to flock to is TextExpander - which is truly a great user experience that should be 'prebuilt' into the OS (and with Mac it kind of is, not sure about Windows).

All this goes to say, when I downloaded TextExpander, it asked for full accessibility permissions, which technically makes sense. How else would TE get the shortcut command?

However, when thinking of the nature of work performed (legal, healthcare or otherwise, including personal info), I'm curious to know if anyone has kicked the tires on TextExpander's security.

So throwing this out to the community, CIOs, devs and the like: How do you evaluate integrating TextExpander into your organization? Are you auditing the expected performance of TE? Any best practices?

Thanks!
I would consider it the worst or most powerful drug in terms of access, addiction and intoxication. It's literally poison, and what it can do to an individual I feel is unlike most other illicit substances.
Speed limits are also anti-fun.

Being anti-fun isn't an argument against regulation
Just more horseshit from Big Coconut, that's what I think.
And it prompts for a login.
My main switch is the Aruba S2500-48P (48x 1Gbps POE + 4x 10Gbps SFP+) and I use 2 Unifi UAP-AC-HD's for Wi-Fi (which I no longer recommend due to ongoing firmware issues). For routing, I have a custom built desktop with a micro-ATX board which runs OpnSense.

For things that "need" the performance (), I originally used a pair of Arista 7050TX's that I was kindly allowed to borrow from work. Unfortunately, these things were pulling 350W when idle and increased the temperature inside my rack by 15°F. They're also very significantly louder than a 2U Supermicro server. They're easily heard two rooms away due to the high-pitched fan noise.

Nowadays, for things that need a link faster than 1Gbps, I just use a direct connection so I don't need power hungry switches. I have my storage server connected to the main Aruba switch with 2x 10Gbps SFP+ DACs and then connected it to my desktop with 100Gbps fiber (Mellanox ConnectX-4). The storage server just uses plain old Linux bridges to behave like a switch. Actual performance without any tuning is less than half of the line speed, but that's good enough for me since the SSD's are the bottleneck for file transfer now.

For VLANs/subnets, I keep things relatively simple: 1 network for trusted things (no restrictions), 1 network for untrusted things (internet access only), 1 network for wireguard (access to trusted network only; no internet). Everything is dual-stack because I'm one of the crazy folks who love IPv6.

() "Need" because I hate slow file copies over SMB :)
Joe Plumber didn't have to pay any more... and the fact people continue to not understand this makes /every/ thread about the Texas incident last February pointless.
Yeah, currently there are three people using the same data to "disprove" the parent, which is baffling to me. As I said in another reply, 45% of people had no alcohol in the past month, so "most Americans drink a little or not at all" seems plausible, or at least not disproved by this data. I understand disagreeing with that sentiment (there are plenty of rational arguments that most people drink more than "a little"), but why harm the image of one's motivation by purposefully omitting critical details from the post one is responding to?
For everyone complaining about evidence citation, this is just a press release. The actual brief which includes 41 citations is here: https://world-heart-federation.org/wp-content/uploads/WHF-Po...
I am kinda curious what they mean by that? Would I no longer be able to get beer at the gas station or something?
The psychological benefits of drinking may not be quantifiable, and may impact long term heart health.

“Who can’t stop drinking may get drunken three times a month. If he does it more often, he is guilty. To get drunken twice a month is better; once, still more praiseworthy. But not to drink at all - what could be better than this? But where could such a being be found? But if one would find it, it would be worthy of all honour.”

> Which seems more likely, that these "risk monitoring systems" actually caught this, or that they were inundated by sudden urgent calls from the 483 users saying "DUDE WTF WHERE'S MY MONEY?".

For better or for worse, a lot of insight can be gained from a sudden influx of tickets from normally-quiet users, all with the same general story. This is definitely how many critical bugs in production are caught, because even a small number of disparate users that suddenly write in about the same issue is a huge red flag.

But, most likely, they have metrics on average withdrawal amounts, deposit amounts, etc., hooked up to something like datadog, with an off-the-shelf anomaly detection monitor.
When it becomes impossible to be able to reasonably comfortably speak against a consensus, that consensus loses any sort of meaning because it becomes impossible to determine whether it's being upheld by coercion or not. It also becomes completely impossible to carry out science in such an environment because such pressures invariably leak into e.g. universities, career opportunities, grants, and so on.

So without being able to reasonably comfortably speak against a scientific consensus you end up with neither science nor a consensus.
I'm coming to the same conclusion. Judging by just how far down I had to come to find this comment even on a site like HN, it's pretty clear people are uninterested or unable to read, put things into context, and think critically.

I'm surprised people can't even recognize the smell of something wrong, even when it's out in the open:

> The BMJ has locked horns with Facebook and the gatekeepers of international fact checking after one of its investigations was wrongly labelled with “missing context” and censored on the world’s largest social network.

The tone of the very first sentence is off. This is the publication describing itself.
I read the wikipedia article for sonic black holes before reading this article, and got a decent understanding. Then I came back to this article and just wanted to comment that the graphics are really good and nailed my understanding in an even better way.
Individual companies/orgs can confer rights to holders through their T&Cs, but that's revocable and hard to prove. For example: https://boredapeyachtclub.com/#/terms BAYC gives full commercial rights to holders.

Would be really interesting to actually see that challenged in a court.
Slippery slope.

Well, traditional banking is much more decentralized in this sense, as there are many more banks than crypto exchanges, and the vast majority offer payment apps etc.
I think some people can actually achieve continual improvement if they can master reflective/deliberate practice. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of what the discrete components of my coding are. Do I judge my functions, files, PRs?

In writing this comment, I think doing a short code review of what I produced in the last session might make sense. The more quickly I advance at some skill, the more quickly I can add/tweak my code review.

From my understanding and experience, that sort of reflection on each output of skillful work turbo charges improvement. I did it at a phone center job, where I kept a spreadsheet with a prediction of what service rating the customer would give me, and a short blurb of what I did well and what I could improve. That seriously blasted me to the top. This also worked when I was in a band. When rehearsing, we would play through our set in full while recording, then afterwards we would immediately run to the computer to listen back and discuss what to work on. Within weeks we were able to meet our goal of playing with our main influence, a band called Protomartyr.

You can think of NFTs as akin to Patreon. The thing is they are way better than Patreon. NFTs pay a perpetual royalty to the artist, and the few intermediaries involved mean much smaller fees. Opensea takes only 2.5%. Art theft is an issue no matter how/where an item will be sold, but the IMO when people steal digital art and sell it as NFTs, it just validates the market for the artist it was stolen from. If those artists decided to sell NFTs they would make a killing and squeeze out the thieves.
It's fine to never drink alcohol. One drink won't change anything measurable. Even this press release doesn't claim that one drink per day is harmful -- it merely claims that one drink per day has never been definitively shown to cause benefit.
My point was, when you no longer want a physical good, it is an inconvenience and that also factors into it's value outside of physical goods degrading.

The way I see it, Second-hand digital goods only doesn't make sense if you view it in the spirit of something digital being 2nd hand. It's re-selling. Which I believe can make sense.

I think that, despite the ability to acquire digital goods through piracy there is still a digital market, there is scope for a reseller market. Unless we're dismantling the idea of digital ownership at all.

NFT's are in a hype right now, but does that mean they solve no problems?
I think saying its a misunderstanding is not giving people enough credit: we are constantly incentivized if not required to eschew joy and wonder in order to be productive and optimal. I don't think most people even have the chance to reflect on what they really want, they just need to make money to pay their rent.

How to Secure API’s
Statesmen saying “alcohol is legal, might as well legalize everything else that is less harmful on some dimension”. Where the alternative may be just leaving alcohol as an exception, or outlawing it (but yeah… don’t mess with Americans and their Alcohol - see prohibition and the whiskey rebellion).
If you see a study that purports to show health benefits of drinking check to see if it distinguishes lifelong teetotalers vs recovering alcoholics. Lifelong teetotalers are much healthier than an alcoholic who's quit drinking, on average. The studies, at least in the US, should also control for wealth.
I'm in the same boat. I drink, I just drink very little. I don't see any reason to think this behavior is particularly exceptional.
> blatant lies

Not the specific issues you mention, but the problem with this approach is that just occasionally "blatant lies" turn out to be true.

Powerful people have acted to suppress dissenting opinions; whether it's whether Covid leaked from a lab or Galileo Galilei's 'Eppur si muove' way back in 1633[0], and most likely this has been going on long before that.

When I look at social media I can't help thinking of that line: "It's not what we don't know that gets us in trouble. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so'?"

Massive uptick in customer support tickets is technically a monitoring system. Just a highly reactionary one.
I have no opinion on NFTs. They are not my bailiwick. I don't plan on getting involved, so I am not spending much bandwidth on the matter.

However, as a former artist, that has sold a few works, the concept of "original art" is important. That's how we can sell photographs, made with film, as the actual film is an "original." I know that when I sold my works, I did not explicitly sell the rights to reproduce. I was young and naive, but I think that the law was already sort of on my side. That meant that the buyers couldn't make money by selling prints of the paintings that I sold them.

Digital work kind of blows a hole under the waterline of "original art." Digicams are now prevalent. I think a few pro photographers use film cameras, but they are quite rare. Even Annie Liebovitz uses digicams. I know that camera companies have tried in-camera digital watermarking, but I also know that these have all been successfully hacked.

And then, we have 3D/pure digital art, which can be awesome, and can take as long as any master oil painting. One example that I use, is Worth Enough, by Radoxist[0]. He spent over a year on it (It's a 3D rendering). I think that Floating Bazar, by Emilis Baltrusaitis, took a lot less time[1] (I think it is a 2D work), but is still an impressive work. There's a lot more stuff out there. Those who sniff at digital media, are probably short-changing their worldview (of course, a huge market for 3D models, are "undressable" male and female mannikins).

I'm not sure that NFTs are the solution to establishing "originals." They just seem to be a way of proving that something was paid for. The artist and the customer need to word the contract carefully; just like they have had to do, for decades. I seem to remember reading about students of great masters, making copies and paintings in the style of their mentor, and selling it as the main artist's work, and we always know about unscrupulous art dealers, selling copies.

Note that Radoxist also sells "other views" of Worth Enough[2]-[5]

A large portion of capacity was prohibited by DOE and EPA rules from coming online unless the floor price was $1500/MWh. There's your absurdity.

This isn't a greedy capitalism problem, it's a govt manifested price hike and long term reduction in capacity, as part of the attempt to kill fossil fuels with no mature, viable, reliable, and affordable alternatives.

The fact checkers clouded this issue by claiming it "false", not because the $1500 floor price isn't true, but based on a manufactured straw-man argument that Abbot requested the DOE waiver instead of ERCOT. And a few other equally ridiculous (but expected) "fact checks".
The IMT study this is based on is tiny compared to the meta-analysis for steps. It also only tested blood pressure and for a short amount of time compared to all-cause mortality over years in the meta-analysis.
Legal consistency has many benefits. The two that first come to mind are:

• making it easier for non-experts to reason about the law

• consistency is, in my experience, usually a property of fairness

In my adult life, I have seen two small niches completely explode the instant the underlying patents expired: mechanical keyboards and 3D-printing. In the former, companies like Kailh started off producing copies of existing Cherry designs, but they've since expanded to their own original designs which in my opinion are vastly superior. At the same time, the original Cherry design's monopoly allowed the community to center on their shape and mounting mechanisms as a standard (despite the fact that they're not great and can be improved). If it were a free-for-all, I feel like there would be a lot less consensus on the form factor.

I think the world has outgrown our current approach to IP, but as long as it continues to suit the needs of those who already hold resources, nothing will change.
So I've worked on psychiatric units clinically, as well as in obesity-related clinics.

It's not uncommon to hear things from family and other social support figures along the lines of "if X starts weighing themselves or counting calories they'll develop an eating disorder". Or even, with individuals who are anorexic to the extent that it's life threatening, and they need to be weighed etc. to gain weight, family and support individuals say things like "so and so's eating disorder is caused by them weighing themselves and counting their calories. [The staff] should just stop that because it's making the problem worse."

This paper is providing some data pertaining to that.

I don't monitor this literature closely but last time I touched base with it these kinds of things (monitoring weight and calories) were associated with healthier outcomes. I think it depends on the context though a bit.
Thanks for the recommendations, I do read a lot of biographies and find the overlap of the stories of these important people to be particularly interesting. Some good ones I have read:

- American Prometheus - About J. Robert Oppenheimer's life. Lots of stories of lots of scientists and politicians, bureaucrats, etc throughout his life.

- Benjamin Franklin's autobiography - Wasn't a great book, but towards the end made mention that he wanted to meet Issac Newton when he went to England on some government business. Until reading it, I hadn't realized they were contemporaries.

- Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson - Lots of stories with people well known inside the technology industry.
That's a poor comparison, autopilot is a borrowed name. Planes are not cars, there are no intersections in the air, collision avoidance is a slower game unlike in a car.

Additionally, in aviation automation has been around for a long time even though the challenges are more primitive... and they recognised early on that it is instinctual for the pilot to mentally disengage when systems become more automated, as a result this is an integral part of pilot training - it's not part of driving tests or learning to drive despite being an instinct you have to unintuitively fight against, and yet manoeuvring decisions and hazard awareness and response happens at a lot faster rate in a car than in an airliner.

In other words, automation does affect the pilot in aviation, but arguably less... and even then, they explicitly train for it to fight the instinct to disengage.

Not at all, I’m referring mainly to those who feel like they have to drink to enjoy themselves. Of course there are adults who don’t have to drink to enjoy themselves (there are many who have never had a drink)

> crypto.com is a little mysterious when it comes to authentication honestly. I still have not understood it.

If you're speaking from experience as a user of their service, I strongly suggest that you use a different exchange. Gemini + Coinbase both have very easy-to-understand authentication systems. If you don't understand the authentication system, that's a good red-flag that you should take as a reason to move to a more trustable platform.

(Just my two cents, as someone who works on authentication system architecture design.)
You can think of NFT like a baseball trading card. You may get an ownership to the card, but you won't get ownership for that baseball player depicted on a card.

Now of course, if there's a contract that says "whoever owns this baseball card owns this baseball player" then you get an ownership, but that's unlikely. Same with NFT, unless there's recognition and contract in place that designates ownership of actual work, you won't own the work itself.
> which stories on facebook dont need context?

Probably not many, but the label is like a "watch your step" sign. People should be careful all the time, but sometimes it's best to remind them. You don't put those signs on everything and you don't put them on nothing, you put them in situations where there's a reason to think it's necessary.
What about meth, fentanyl or oxycotin? (to name just a few)

I would consider these more literal poison by comparison to alcohol by any objective manner. If they are all legal, then access/addiction/intoxication are not even close to compare to alcohol, they are all far worse.
Humans have consumed it for several millennia, we know all side effects of it.

Fair enough, I came from a background of JavaScript and Python, and Lisp was entirely foreign to me, let alone Elisp.

> After all, why "reinvent the wheel"?

I think its not of "reinvent the wheel", but let the other person do the decision making for you, including picking packages, setting up the modeline, so on and so forth. Starting out with a bare Emacs installation, you have to piece together the various packages that you would want to use, where as with Doom, you get everything out of the box. Also, maintaining your own init.el helps one learn Elisp

Indeed, an NIH funded longitudinal study on alcohol kicked off in 2014 and it was shut down for being tainted by industry money: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/health/alcohol-nih-drinki... - you can't necessarily even trust publicly funded science when it impacts large industries.
