As someone who struggled as well to put myself in the mindset and having just finished reading Empire of Pain which documents the Sackler Family and Purdue's responsibility in the opioid epidemic.

It might be worth reading through it to view a mindset that has developed around pharmaceutical companies and doctors in places that were hit the hardest by the opioid epidemic such as mining towns, old industry towns and other rural areas that are predominately Republican.

They may vote Republican, but I think its fair to say that its likely not the image that first comes to your mind when talking about pro-business, well off Republicans.

For a hash function to be mathematically secure, it needs to have a formal proof that the computational complexity of a preimage or collision attack (depending on the threat) meets some criteria. For example, [1]. As far as I'm aware, no such formalism exists for anything in the SHA family. This means in theory someday someone could discover a way to short circuit the desired complexity by taking advantage of some weakness in the algorithm, as they did to MD5 and SHA1 already.

In principal, these attacks are getting to the complexity where any new discovery will probably be aided by some form of AI (using a pretty loose definition of AI, computer aided search through an attack space). I only comment because the OP seemed rather flippant about 'math' protecting SHA256 where unless I'm mistaken there is no such protection.

The Conversations with Tyler Cowen podcast episode "Audrey Tang on the Technology of Democracy (Ep. 106)" has some interesting content in this regard. Tang works on the government side but the same principles are involved regardless of direction.

I see, Gemini is not to make the life of content creators easier, but the life of the server and client implementers.

The need for TLS is a bit strange regarding this, especially if they encourage the use of self-signed certificates.

4 TLS
Use of TLS for Gemini transactions is mandatory.

Clients can validate TLS connections however they like (including not at all) but the strongly RECOMMENDED approach is
to implement a lightweight "TOFU" certificate-pinning system which treats self-signed certificates as first- class
citizens. This greatly reduces TLS overhead on the network (only one cert needs to be sent, not a whole chain) and
lowers the barrier to entry for setting up a Gemini site (no need to pay a CA or setup a Let's Encrypt cron job,
just make a cert and go).

I'm not convinced, in general I don't like this additional layer of "fiddling around" with the original contents.

What about the opposite, the title being great but the contents not really? Shall Google serve its own "improved"/"summarized"/whatever version?

Meh... - this reminds me of the snippets of text extracted by some websites that are sometimes shown directly in Google's results, which in my case were sometimes wrong because they didn't take into account the context of what was written in the original contents.

But the signature is an encrypted hash value, which is decrypted when verifying the signature. Maybe you could say signature verification as a concept is not encryption, but certainly Bitcoin's implementation uses encryption, and I don't think there's any definition of 'asymmetric cryptography' that is not also some form of encryption.
More likely, it can actually render all of Markdown, which allows HTML within.
For that you at least need some kind of HTML renderer.
As someone who lived in Canada, lives next to Australia, and lives in New Zealand, I wouldn't suggest any of these places are 'devolving into police states'.

Having people do stuff to protect the safety of themselves and others is part of the social contract of these countries. We wear seatbelts. We wear helmets on Motorbikes. All things that restrict our freedom to damage ourselves.

Because who incurs the cost of when you hurt yourself or others? The government! Like a lot of advanced countries we have a single payer government operated healthcare system that needs to ration care since nothing in life is infinite. So governments are motivated to protect systems that protect everyone like healthcare.

Yesterday I commented here [0] that having a phone running NT (because it maintains a strong ABI compatibility) with an Android Userland (for app compatibility) would solve the 3 years support window most android phones have (because of patched kernels the devs won’t care to update and recompile to the latest version).

I wonder how well this subsystem could run on existing phone hardware. There are, after all, Nokia phones that are running NT kernels (the last windows phone on the market).

Two years doesn't seem like very long to double ICU capacity. How are you going to staff them? Nursing degrees take 3 years. Medical degrees much longer. And capacity to train doctors and nurses is also stretched by the pandemic and non-trivial to expand.

I do agree that this is something governments ought to be looking into over the long term though.
I'm not an expert on BTC, but I'd guess that if you can derive the private key of a signature from its public key (which is what the paper is describing), you can use that to place transactions from said wallet on the blockchain (ie. spend that wallet's money), right? Genuinely curious if I understand this correctly, there's a lot I don't know about how bitcoin's protocol works.
As I've said elsewhere, the context was already about white men employing people from black communities -- go re-read the GP's post, I wasn't the one that bought race into it. I just made an uncomfortable truth that some people apparently feel the need to defend by proxy with the usual arguments of "other people were just as bad", as if that somehow reconciles the atrocities that we committed (hint: it doesn't).

Honestly the "other cultures are just as bad" argument here strikes me just as poor as the "all lives matter" protest comment against the BLM movement:

It seems weird to consider any other interpretation, to be honest.

Suppose B was accused of murder, initially convicted, then exonerated on appeal.

“B is a convicted murderer; true or false?”

“B was convicted of murder; true or false?”

If your answers are “false to the first but true to the second”, I’d wager you are frequently misunderstood by other people in conversations.

That would only be true if votes were a limited resource. There's no real "competition" here. Something good getting upvoted doesn't stop absolute trash from getting upvoted. donio posting something incredible wouldn't mean it would offset something awful; it would just slightly change the timeslot of the awful thing.

I was back on campus about two years ago and the studio was almost unrecognizable, although the rest of Todd Union looked about the same! Yeah, we weren't very strict back in those days. You just had to do so many hours in the AM booth and then you were given access to the FM studio. So you just did your AM time by playing album sides while you did your homework; nobody was listening to AM anyway.

Not too many exciting stories. I got the opportunity to sub for somebody in the 5pm Friday slot one week. I had no idea what the slot was, but I just went in and did my 3am show. The phone lines quickly lit up with people saying, "What the hell is this Sh#!? You're complete crap. Where's the Jazz hour?" Lol. On the other end of the spectrum, one of the UR bus drivers recognized my voice and told me he loved my 9am news slot and always tuned in. I always did the top stories off the AP feed and then finished with some weird off-the-wall story, before turning it over to my buddy to do the sports.
I really wonder if you have the same approach to all other situations with fine print, not just software contracts? Ebay scams, usury lending agreements, everything?

> I don't use my Boss with my phone or on the go which is, generally, where the AirPods experience 90% of their quirks.

My experience is the opposite. When I'm not on the go, the likelihood that my AirPods pick up the right device is slim -- like trying to connect to an iPad on a complete different floor vs. the phone I'm trying to make a call on.

When I'm on the go, the only device they can find is my phone, and all works great.

Is quote I found while looking into this. It seems like they're not opening up completely, they're just removing a bunch of rules. There is still talk of large events possibly needing proof of vacination.

This information is super new and what actually happens and how they actually do it is yet to be fully confirmed as far as I can tell.

Edit: Also important they have 77 people in ICU in the entire country. Where as Berlin alone has 186.

This is genius and scratches a bookmarking itch I've had for ages. I hope you'll press on with this and continue its development. Its pretty close to a state where I would pay for it if:

2. I could manage tables.

3. I could share tables.

4. Search.

5. Themes/Skins.

Well you knnow, after all this time you can find a place to "coast" with your skills.

Example, I've always been a bit put off by the plethora of syntaxes and frameworks in javascript, and I lawnmowered my toes off with angular one fine july, but recently discovered svelte-kit.

It's a cinch, a few practice projects, a few paid ones, and one upwork refund later, I'm getting quite confident in my abilities to turn out decent stuff fast.

And the "fast" is the most important thing, with my new found impatience for not being thirty anymore.
Engineering manager is probably the easiest pivot. It's a very different skillset from software engineering (more people interaction, more organization, less creativity and logic) that some people will love and others will hate, but you get to use your previous experience and there's often a pay bump and additional job security.

Also consider trades like carpenter or electrician. Many software engineers also like this type of work because it involves building & fixing stuff, but it's more tangible, easy to disconnect from when you're not working, and requires less abstract thought. It still pays very well, though it can be hard on your body.
The author didn't at first didn't even notice the addon was taking a cut, let alone attempted to "cheat" it. That is clearly the author's "oops", but what are you getting on about "cheating?"

In the license, it clearly state that is perfectly acceptable to use the addon unlicensed, and if you go above a certain monetization level, it will take a cut. The explicitly calls out the cut as 2%. Except the license was a lie, it is not 2%, it's 30%. That is theft.

If the addon took 2%, as the license explicitly states, it would have been completely legal. It was not 2% and it is theft.

Is it really a good model for funding Open Source software to bake in clearly illegal landmines that steal from anybody using said OSS? If so, that feels way more like malware than OSS.
The most annoying thing about my AirPods Pro, which I generally like very much ... my phone starts playing music from its speakers when I take the AirPods out of my ears (and was not previously listening to music). Not all the time, but maybe 15% of the time, enough to be annoying. I have no idea what's going on. I've tried googling it, but nobody else seems to be having this problem. I've combed through settings but nothing seems applicable. I think I'm stuck with it.
On the Edge of War
Apple engineers reading this: The painfully loud "PING" sounds on the AirPods Max hurt my ears when I switch from transparency to sound isolation mode. It's really unpleasant and I'm concerned this is damaging my hearing. The "ping" volume level should be customizable or at least quieter across the AirPods line.

Numeronym:

According to Tex Texin, the first numeronym of this kind was "S12n", the electronic mail account name given to Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) employee Jan Scherpenhuizen by a system administrator because his surname was too long to be an account name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym

Agree that i18n cemented it in the letter count form (homonym form is older, like K9 for canine).
If you look in to the mechanics of why people are refusing the simple jab, you'll find just as many complex societal factors, or maybe even more. Being unrelated to environmental or chemical factors if anything makes it more intractable.
I was a customer of theirs for the better part of a year, up until I finally got my hands on an xbox series x. The good is that it generally performs as advertised: really smooth streaming, very low latency, never had an issue with installing any games I wanted to.

Downsides were that it became much pricier over time, there was a long waitlist to get access to it, and I did have some trouble getting my xbox controllers to work consistently with it from a Mac host. (Some of those may be worked out now.)

I think in general its an excellent solution to a problem most people don't have. It didn't really outperform stadia or Nvidia GFN by a wide enough margin, and the only real advantage was having the whole of a windows box to work with when you needed it (I never did, and probably would have used a virtual machine if I did.)
These are all great action items and I completely agree.

One topic I've heard a lot is the fact that impostor syndrome is often stronger for women. This is impacts their willingness to apply for jobs that list certain qualifications, for example.

I wonder if there are ways to be more outspoken about how little we know as founders and how much we learn long the journey.

Many of the prevailing narratives flex "This is how to do it" more than "I used to have no idea how to do this"

But I agree what you outline is likely most meaningful:
1) Increase women representation in VC
2) Proactively look for women VC cap table participants
Is the explanation simply that so many nurses are being forced to isolate with Omicron? Since even vaccinated staff can still spread it, so they still take the tests often, and isolate for 2 weeks if positive.

Still they could extract a fair amount of value before everyone catches on. Especially if you don't know the exact day/month/year that became possible; when would you take the snapshot? No one would accept transactions after that snapshot date either, if they worry it'll all get rolled back.

Of course the market would just sink in the years leading up to that threshold, in anticipation of this (assuming no mitigation in this case).
What does "worked" mean? Illness and risk lower, or simply people following orders? People have lost sight of the former after unrelenting emphasis on the latter.

It's time to turn critical thinking skills back on.
This comment is red meat for M4A opponents. Socialized healthcare should not be an excuse for increasing invasive government mandates or restrictions.

This is a really difficult question:

From UK. Can confirm. If you can’t serve as a exemplar, serve as an example. Well that’s how it feels living here anyway.
Having anyone's freedoms dependent on available hospital capacity is a terrible way to run a society.

You should note that government regulations are designed to keep hospitals running nearer capacity. See "certificates of need", which are (in most places) required to get authorization to build a new hospital. You've got to prove to the gov't that a new hospital really is necessary. And thanks to regulatory capture, the tendency is for existing providers to try to sink such applications.
Okay, I won't argue with you. You are clearly a Wordpress Architect.
Most of the provinces have been engaged in pandemic response theater. The core issue is hospital capacity, and the provinces across the board have failed to improve or address the issues in their healthcare systems.

Quebec has adopted a particularly theatrical set of of responses (curfews, this latest insistence on vaccine "passports" for stores), but I don't think anyone really expects these to be anything more than theater and moves for public appeasement.
I think the hospital capacity is a key argument indeed. But there is another aspect to consider. Each viral replication is a potential event where a new variant can arise, thus the fewer viral replications the better since each new variant has unknown risks. An unvaccinated person will on average be host to many more viral replications after exposure to the virus than a vaccinated person after exposure. Thus, if a large part of the population remains unvaccinated, the virus has more room room to evolve than necessary given we have easy access to effective and safe vaccines. Therefore, this should also factor into a debate around vaccination policies and personal choice vs societal risk.
The argument is that since the vaccination rate is so high and the effect of omicron is considered mild, the outcomes are not no longer considered server enough to qualify for general restrictions.

There will still be targeted restrictions, such as in the elder care. Time will tell if that will be enough and if the health care system will manage.
Right, and I don't understand why it took the industry so many decades for 64-bit computing to become dominant. If a factory is creating bits, it shouldn't take 64x the effort to create 64 of them versus 1 bit...
