My noob perspective is that generation periods are optimized for environmental change sensitivity.

Humans seem to reliably be able to handle environmental changes expected in their life spans. Other species not, and I dare say most other fauna has much a faster generation iteration rate because they are much more sensitive to the environment. Ergo evolution made their lifespans shorter so they can iterate faster and respond with a tighter gene fit to the environment.

Humans have their fitness less correlated by genes so a longer life span is allowed, but not boundless. In a sense every body must die so that new solutions/iterations can be ran.
Hard to say but my guess is that no, even he can no longer pull this off. I think he used his one freebie.
I can exchange pgp keys with someone and send encrypted messages back and forth. No amount of funding or resources will ever be able to expose those messages. This is math. You sound like you are defending Apple for exposing journalists and activists when Apple, in fact, explicitly allowed remote code execution by untrusted actors.

They way you put it, these people fired up a quantum computer and broke the users password hash. What they actually did is the equivalent of an activex control owning a machine in a drive-by attack.
Yes, this is how Bitcoin is designed and has worked from the beginning. The problem is his wallet did save the private key for the change address he just didn’t save the wallet, so it was lost - the changed address wasn’t unwanted, it was wanted, it just didn’t get saved. I believe early Bitcoin wallets generated addresses randomly so you couldn’t recover everything from a seed and had to save your wallet.
Thanks for the tip! I guess I only used webpack because vue-cli set up my project that way.

Whenever I return to the project, hell breaks loose: "npm install" (whoops, 51 vulnerabilities!), "npm audit --fix" (what now? 72 vulnerabilities? I thought this was supposed to go down not up), initialize a fresh project with the CLI so as to get the latest possible scaffolding and then migrate stuff over from the old project etc. etc. This really appears brittle to me.
This sounds disturbingly similar to my time at T-Systems as a trainee.

Brilliant tech people getting managed to death by clueless MBAs. It was a great place to learn, though.
That is something you can and always could disable. I would however not want someone with a buggy system in some of my networks which makes this choice have side-effects in some scenarios.
“Just” probably isn’t the right word: the tools have become easier but it still takes care to integrate all of the pieces to a smooth user experience. For example, no financial institution I’ve ever used has managed to link things that well despite orders of magnitude greater budget.
Then why they are outsource driven from famous Asian consultancies?

> You need to manage a chronic condition,

I am. I expect to be dead before the decade is out, the doctors offer ways to make that more comfortable but shorter. I disagree with their priorities and am thus on my own for other treatment options.

"I do not need to know about other options" seems inexcusable to me, and seems to be what the author assumes is the correct attitude towards their treatment.
> , there is the question of why someone with Type 1 Diabetes is being denied their medicine. I feel like the only potentially valid excuse would be if the insurer literally didn't know the person had Type 1 Diabetes.

I forgot to respond to this in your prior reply. The answer here is because insulin is not just insulin. There are many different formulations and brands with many different prices.

Even the federal government does not want to pay for all of them:

https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/new-medicare-program...

So one could say it is about money, or how much extra money is politically available to spend for the marginal benefit (population wise) of certain insulin.
It's not that different to v4. Broadcast domains are an L2 concept and still exist (although L3 broadcast doesn't; there's just multicast). IPsec isn't really built in, it was just developed for v6 initially. It uses the exact same address-family-agnostic socket and name resolution APIs as v4 does, so for most functionality the same code handles both.

You don't need to rearchitect your network either, because v6 fundamentally works in exactly the same way v4 does. All you need to do is deploy a v6 /64 everywhere you have a v4 /24 (or /22 or whatever).

There's really not much that's different between them at all... and making v6 64 bits wouldn't have helped either, because that would have the same compatibility issues that v6 does while also not being big enough. It'd be pretty silly to go through all this to deploy a new L3 protocol, only to then have to do it again because we didn't make it big enough the first time.
> Can it? Is this within the range what Google is allowed to do in the EU right now?

Google's current GDPR consent screen is not compliant. It provides an easy "accept" option but no easy decline option, which is against the regulation.

Given they are already breaking the law and successfully getting away with it (otherwise they'd stop), why would they not break it here?

In fact, it doesn't even have to be malicious; the data can accidentally be fed into a dataset that's used for ad targeting - maybe it was set up that way a decade ago, nobody knows about it and it isn't entirely obvious considering the entire targeting machine is a black box with thousands of parameters so it's impossible to definitely prove what data was used to target a particular ad.
But there is nothing to MITM here, it’s a link to a file. Either you trust the person posting the link or not, but the host and the protocol are irrelevant in that case to evaluate if it’s safe or not, period. It’s not that people are challenging details, it’s that your concept of holistic view makes no sense here, there is nothing to add together.

Also having that wrong mental security model makes you more vulnerable (i.e. you’ll be less on your guard when seeing https and a reputable host, where you shouldn’t and apply the same level of scrutiny).
Not exactly what you are looking for but MIT has a partially animated series on YouTube about econometrics that is excellent.
No, cash list price of insulin in most countries is around $30. As uninsured person you can still buy insulin for this price in Mexico or order it from India.
You say "just" because the technology for doing this isn't novel. It doesn't feel like it's "just" anything when so few businesses bother to even put that much effort towards a good customer experience.
This isn't at all surprising but I still got scoffed at when I suggested that serving third party fonts, css, scripts, whatever without prior consent or contracts would be a violation. Tragically, I was just robbed of my told you so and was met with a mere well, this seems ok when I sent this to the very people who couple of years ago thought this would be nuts and that I was exaggerating. Part of the pathology of the kind of folk who like to cheer everything the EU does I guess.

My question is, why aren't we worried about the hops between a website and a user? There's who knows how many networks and routers in between them, and the packets might even hop outside the EU momentarily (!!!!!). Surely this needs some attention as well? Should we maybe consider an internal EU-only network? Or maybe the Commission could come up with a whole new routing scheme? I'm sure Europol would have tons of very sane ideas for one.
Legal precedent is a method for defining laws, not a requirement of a legal system. It is absolutely not essential to solve issues of incomplete, ambiguous, or invalid contracts.

The key factor is: human judgment
It's insurance so you paid for it. If you know an attorney, maybe look at where the State agency thinks it got authority to demand this and maybe sue for injunction.
Nope.

It's not possible logistically or politically. Assuming we're talking about the USA, any such body would likely end up as a federal agency, which means it would turn into a political football whenever administrations change over. Each administration would have its own personal approach to the fact-checking, which means that even if you trust politicians (lololol), the fact-checks wouldn't be consistent.

The only way to avoid this would be for Congress to be really specific in drafting the legislation, but Congress has incentive not to touch the topic.
Ok… but then if you’re going to throw out these cases you should also address how markets can fix these issues, such as great customer service: “when I fucked up they helped me out, they’ll get more of my business”, or maybe insurance, or just better products that don’t have these issues.

Idk why people conflate libertarianism with this hyper-individualist stuff. It really isn’t the case.
> This is one of those situations where signing up is irrelevant, just like with most mobile apps1. In theory I should be able to autocomplete first name and phone number (maybe credit card2) and voilà my pizza is in queue.

So... the phone should give your personal data to any app that pretends to deliver pizza?

On a tangent, I think the best thing about food delivery apps is they inform you there is other food than pizza in the world. Even if most of it is junk-y, still some variation sounds more healthy than the same thing every day.
Sorry if I haven't myself clear: I'm not questioning any technical merit of any tech. I'm just saying that I don't think this is a proper venue for advertising your product, as good as it is. This is off-topic. You should try a "Show HN" post. That's just a friendly recommendation, I'm not interested nor the target for your product.
With the default settings I find this web page almost impossible to read (with my glasses on). The font is [too] small and the contrast is poor.

"Avoiding layout shifts caused by web fonts" is a great topic.

"Readability" would be another one.
Everything that makes it easier to build websites is in the business interest of Google in a way, because it commoditizes their complement.

The DAO is a big reason why (culturally) this kind of thing can no longer be done. That was a defining moment for the culture and is seen as a growing pain but also a "never again" moment.
Also apparently Foucault could explain his ideas much more clearly in person, and when asked why he didn't write the same way, said that to be taken seriously as a French continental philosopher at least 2/3 of what you write must be incomprehensible.

Most of the semiotics and sociological content of postmodernism (ie the majority of it) is really simple and intuitive - it's just wrapped in layers of reference to obscure philosophy, invented terms, and overly complicated language.
Sounds good, but "the order goes into some sort of pizza load balancer and gives the order to the least busy store with a good drive time to your house" seems to be optimizing only for fast delivery.

Which might, or might definitely not be the highest priority to me.
These are so disingenuous. It’s like comparing aggregate schooling scores between the US and some Scandinavian country and concluding that every kid in America gets a worse education. False. If you were to constrain for home life (two parent household), income level, etc. you would find that the US is very on par in many aspects. The real question to me is why does the US have such a large population of extremely downtrodden people that will never escape their station in life.
Normal way to achieve img to have a size before the resource in src loads is to set width/height attributes to the native size of the resource that will be loaded (because you have to tell the browser size of an image somehow), and if you want to scale it with aspect ratio preserved you just use min/max-width/height in css to fit it to whatever size you need.
Personally, I can see only two parties benefiting from this: the plaintiff and lawyers in general.

Google will continue to be Google. Users will be faced with more annoying consent notices that they don't read. Website developers, of which I am one (bias disclosure), who are not very good lawyers will have more technical complexity in order to respect the law. Small companies who rely on services such as CDNs and font providers are now worried about having to host things themselves and the complexity that will ensue to be GDPR compliant (everyone's new least-favourite term). Hacker News gets a divisive flamewar over the subject and this will be yeeted from the front page.
>It’s going to be hard for anyone here to give you a better answer because only you know the kinds of jobs you’ll find acceptable, given that an impactful mission isn’t enough for you.

I get what you're trying to say, but it's not really that an impactful mission isn't enough for me, it's more that just getting a job at a company with an impactful mission isn't enough.

This is probably an extreme example, but what I'm trying to say is I don't think the janitor at the most impactful organization in the world feels like he's having any kind of positive impact about anything. Even if the job itself is necessary, he can be replaced at anytime by a random contractor who don't give a crap about the job.

Maybe it's just my ego talking, but I want my work to actually matter, I don't want to be an unimportant cog in a large machine that would work just as smoothly if I wasn't there.
for places that never had delivery people, its a good proposition to expand their network and get food into more people's hands.

... but almost every pizza place has their own dedicated delivery people.

In short, by using the middleman, you're scamming yourself (through higher costs, and worse delivery because you're using random/shared agents rather than dedicated), or you're scamming the business (who ends up having to eat some of the costs).

That said, if you don't care about the business and you don't care about money (a single place to order pizza from is more valuable), then order away.
Critical theory is a subset of postmodernism (a form of sociological systems theory), and a lot of postmodern texts are written this way.
Wouldn't you know it, when Christians do the same thing, it's called a vigil, from the Latin for.. being awake!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigil_(liturgy)

I wonder if jaagra- and vig- come from the same root? Wouldn't that be fun.

I'm thinking of the derived word "vigor" which means strength and energy, apparently the PIE root is *weg- from which we also get "awake".

So this is very likely a cognate!

Edit: the related word, turns out, is excited, not vigil.

Why is that broken? Even systems with universal healthcare have rules like this.

Why use a $1000 per month branded drug unless you know the $5 per month generic drug doesn’t work?
> Apparently, not all tooling has access to sophisticated language servers; for example, as far as I can tell GitHub source analysis won't be able to find where write_u16 is coming from, and the same is true of Sourcegraph.

FYI, Sourcegraph supports LSIF generated by rust-analyzer. For example, https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sd... shows lock method belongs to tokio. It should be able to show origin of write_u16 as well (In the precise mode, not search based).

Gitlab can also consume LSIF, and github should do it someday, IMO, their current way doesn't scale. In most languages you should implement a full compiler front end in order to provide a 100% correct goto definition.

There are certainly some advantages to be gained from greater mechanical sympathy and an appreciation of static types. However, in the modern day, I wouldn't suggest a Python programmer learn C to achieve either of these things.

For a Python programmer who just wants to learn about static type systems, learn Typescript.

For a Python programmer who wants to learn about static type systems and mess around with pointers, learn Go.

For a Python programmer who really wants to get elbow-deep in a natively-compiled language with a fairly sophisticated type system, learn Rust.

For someone who doesn't want to actually use C and just wants to learn concepts, C doesn't really have any advantages these days. Its type system is anemic, its compilers are unhelpful, its abstractive capabilities are poor and leaky, and its claims of being close-to-the-metal are overblown on modern processors. There are plenty of good reasons to learn C, but IMO "to become a better Python programmer" is not one of them.
An (i)nternet-connected Phone, stating quite clearly its dependency upon data connectivity as well as its ubiquity.

As for “phone” calls, all modern telephony is predicated upon mechanisms for packet transfer, so the moniker no less applies now than it did then.
This is worth some discussion.
Notaries are decentralized and regulated.
Alternatively decentralized at employer, UI logon credentials could be set up when onboarding each new hire.
It seems to be the pattern recently. I have an in-complete linkedin profile(I have a family owned business,where I can be as passive as I want), I have not listed most of my skills(just html/css/js). For last 9 years, It was rarely one or two recruiter connecting me. But now in last 6 months, somehow a new request pops up every week with vogue requirements and unreasonable expectations with salary expectation of the McDonald's employee.

Most of the times, recruiter does not know what he actually require. They are not clear about salary, exact responsibility, work culture, company working and on boarding. I just ignore most of them.
I doubt this is something you can construe as a 'right'. Pretty much everything you list is happening due to side-effects and interconnected ecosystems. What you want would also require significant continuous investments of all other interconnected parts.

It would for example mean that your webserver needs to find out if the client has the bandwidth, CPU, memory and GPU resources available for a full site, a self-degrading site or a minimal site. And then users would complain that their experience is different from their friends and family because they have a different device and people will claim segregation or come up with a 'right to be treated the same on the internet' or something like that.

Your device is essentially frozen in time as soon as manufacture is complete. The world around it keeps changing. Some of those changes are new insights, such as knowledge that power management needs to be adjusted to prevent brownouts, and hardware-level bugs that need to be mitigated to not break the interconnected world we live in.
> UberEATS drivers are like Fedex or USPS for food.

This is to be expected, but it's not clear how this is relevant to your parent given it appears to have been Uber customer-service agents directing them to cancel, not a driver.
No I mean Potassium. Very few people eat foods rich in Potassium and certainly very few people come close to the 4.7 grams RDA. Excess Potassium is excreted by the kidneys assuming one does not have stage 4 renal failure. Potassium is extremely hard to measure in the serum because the body always tries to keep the levels high enough but the cellular levels can be deficient even when serum levels appear fine. Chronic low potassium intake can lead to idiopathic hypertension. I learned this the hard way.

If a person is consuming the RDA and having arrhythmia I would suggest they see a doctor and require extended lab work and multiple EKG's done to find out what is going on. There could be a more serious issue that needs to be addressed sooner than later. One could even get their own consumer grade 6-lead EKG to get prolonged measurements that the doctors office will not have time for.
Submarines (lol, nuclear reactor + weapons systems all in a hull that can withstand insane pressure and protect and support 100 people), aircraft carriers (airport + nuclear reactor, support 5,000 people, weapons systems, air traffic control), electric car plants, large industrial parks (like the 30M SF one they built in 1 year in my hometown). The only thing holding nuclear back is a tether made of paper.

I used to operate a reactor and I now make software. The internals of your average video game or relational database are orders of magnitude more complex than a reactor. A reactor is a big machine, and the process involved is somewhat novel, but ultimately, it's making steam to turn a turbine with heat from decaying metal. It's not magic or even all that high-tech. Honestly, this stuff has been around for close to 80 years now. That means we can construct them using tech my great granddad would have been very familiar with.
> HERE IS WHAT I LEARNED SO FAR. I'M NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR. RESEARCH THE THINGS I SAY.

Most of personal finance can fit on a very small piece of paper. While the advice is slightly US-centric, I think it's fairly universal (it works for us Canadians):

The original index card, pictured above, has:[9]

1. Max your 401(k) or equivalent employee contribution.

2. Buy inexpensive, well-diversified mutual funds such as Vanguard Target 20xx funds.

3. Never buy or sell an individual security. The person on the other side of the table knows more than you do about this stuff.

4. Save 20% of your money.

5. Pay your credit card balance in full every month.

6. Maximize tax-advantaged savings vehicles like Roth, SEP and 529 accounts.

7. Pay attention to fees. Avoid actively managed funds.

8. Make financial advisors commit to the fiduciary standard.

9. Promote social insurance programs to help people when things go wrong.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Index_Card

For Canadians: 401(k) ~ RRSP, (Roth) IRA ~ TFSA, 529 account ~ RESP.

The 20% seems high, (retired) actuary Fred Vettese recently came out with a good book, The Rule of 30:

> Easy: Save an amount equal to 30% of gross income, minus the amount you are paying towards a mortgage or rent, minus extraordinary short-term expenses like daycare costs.

> The rule aims to strike a better balance between competing financial priorities. It also makes it easier to decide how much to set aside each year, and is more realistic and achievable than saving a flat percentage of pay, especially during the expensive childcare years.

> This is all about consumption smoothing – not depriving oneself of a standard of living during the years of juggling competing financial goals. It backloads the high savings rate to later years when childcare expenses are long gone and the mortgage or rent payments make up a much smaller percentage of your gross income.

* https://boomerandecho.com/the-rule-of-30-book-review/

Also, there is some 'rule of thumb' floating around that says who need 70% of your pre-retirement income. This is inaccurate as Vettese and others show:

* https://findependencehub.com/qa-with-author-david-aston-abou...

* https://pmac.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/07-02-series-ari...

If during working life you had/have a mortgage and kids, you may only need as little as 40%. MacDonald has published a bunch of research on this:

* https://www.soa.org/globalassets/assets/library/newsletters/...

* https://econpapers.repec.org/article/cupastinb/v_3a46_3ay_3a...
>.[..] despite orders of magnitude greater budget.

That's likely to be the problem. Also, a financial institution has vastly more complex interactions than "same as last time?"
