> I do have pretty pedestrian music tastes though...

That could very well be the difference. I don't know what normal numbers are, but Spotify says I listened to 2,518 artists last year, and I seldom listen to anyone that plays on the radio.

Streaming music services seem heavily geared towards mainstream tastes. That's understandable, but doesn't work well for me personally.
If you actually talk to engineers who have to follow regulation and building code, they will tell you how often the rules are nonsense and don't make technical sense, they have to click checkboxes to say that something is fulfilled that doesn't even make sense in the given context etc.
This is what I'd like to see. There should be some kind of system where in-progress research being done by pharma companies can be published. This would reduce the massively redundant amount of studies (e.g. CRISPR screens, xenograft studies, etc.) and help scientists more quickly converge on the mechanistic underpinnings of disease and how best to address them therapeutically.

Obviously this can't work in the current pharma industry configuration; what financial incentive is there for big pharma companies to publish their results for another company to beat them to a new drug? I don't have a solution to this problem, but I hope someday we as a society can find one. This would absolutely revolutionize biopharmaceutical science.

> There's also a third problem I don't care as much about but I'd assume Signal does. And that's naming collisions. NYT has a Signal number that allows whistleblowers to contact them. What's stopping me from creating the username NYT_Whistleblower and becoming a honeypot?

That's easy; you want an internal identifier for Signal accounts that is unrelated to display name. This is already routine in most places including Discord.[1] Nothing stops you from creating the username NYT_Whistleblower, but that won't be what the NYT advertises to potential whistleblowers.

> Alternatively, if I have a username "not_godelski" then how do I get in contact with someone on HN while maintaining anonymity?

Well, you can't. Revealing your identity necessarily involves losing your anonymity, and I don't understand how you think those two actions could be theoretically separated. If you want to share your Signal identity with someone who only knows you as "godelski from HN", then once the sharing is accomplished they will know that "godelski from HN" and "godelski from HN's Signal username" are the same person. So will anyone who was allowed to watch the sharing.

Perhaps what you want is a single buffer account, where you tell people on HN to contact your buffer account (openly identifying it with yourself), and then you use the buffer account to reveal the identity of your actual account?

[1] Note that there is a tension between having a unique identifier by which Signal knows who you are, and the need for participants in two group chats not to be able to notice that your two usernames in those two chats belong to the same person. Discord is failing at this. To be part of a group chat at all, someone is going to have to have an identifier for you; if you want to maintain cross-chat anonymity, you'll need to be able to generate disposable identifiers that you can give to chat admins.

Simple tools are simple because they don’t do as much as complex ones. A bicycle is more simple than a car. Sometimes you need a car.

Having said that, Vue has always been a framework and that’s what I liked about it. It’s analogous to Django in so many ways.
If Google bans my personal account I lose access to Google Play, Translate, some useless files on Google Drive and abandoned projects on Google Cloud and maybe nothing else. I won't be able to backup WhatsApp and move it to another phone, this is annoying. No Google Play means no updates for the banking apps so I'll be unable to log into my banks soon (they do 2FA with their app.) This is huge.

Of course most Android users are more invested in the ecosystem than I am. I'm not sure I can create another account with the same phone number. I'm not going to buy an iPhone or an iPad so I'm not sure what I'll be going to do. Change number?

BTW not Linux phones, too many apps I need are not working there (especially banks.)

"High-level corruption as a service" is likely to be his main value proposition, basically.

That's the takeaway to get from his partnering with Kurz.
When I was eight; I read the novelization of the film, "Rambo: First Blood Part Two" and I was enlightened.
I think your take on the article is interesting to me because it shows how timely your apperceptions are. I take for granted that everyone has encountered the riposte that the Bible nowhere gainsays the institution of slavery, and that slavery in the U.S. was legitimized, in part, on repulsive pseudo-Darwinian grounds and further misses the way in which the article is blandly suggesting that the institution of slavery (extant at some time in every culture) has merely become sublimated in our own.

Two things are of interest to me about the institution of slavery in republican (or later) Rome: chiefly the lack of racial rationalization for the institution, and that the institution itself probably retarded the industrial and scientific revolutions[1].

In Rome, the most prized slaves were Greeks, for whom the Romans had both admiration and a cultural inferiority complex. As Horace wrote:

> Graecia capta ferum victorem cepit et artes intulit agresti Latio.

(Captured Greece captured her wild capturers and brought the arts to those agrarians Latins[1a].)

I mention this because I think it shows the opposite of U.S. rationalizations for slavery. Further, domestic slaves were called famulus -a; probably something on the order of "the lesser family" (more expendable were those working the fields or -- gods forefend -- the mines). Greeks enslaved Greeks, Latins enslaved Latins, Sumerians enslaved the nearby mountain-dwellers. As a species, we lack talons or fangs. Ours survival strategy depends upon cooperation. Cooperation can be willing, bargained, or forced.

I join company with the parent insofar as the choice of frame for this article is too untimely: perhaps better would have been Solzhenitsyn's chapter "The Trusty" from "The Gulag Archipelago". It provides a sort of fourth movement to a symphony of betrayal of serf to serf, peasant to peasant, Kulak to Kulak. Here, the damned betray the damned. But we must be upbeat! Life is getting better![2] Hence "la serva perdrona"!

---------------------------------------------------

[1] Hint: a Roman factory was merely a building filled with slaves "manufacturing" (making by hand) some good. See also the works of Vitruvius who describes (among other things) how an odometer should be made to accurately place mile-markers. They had the ingenuity and engineering capability, but not the economic incentives to birth both revolutions. The Romans were (like us) trapped in a local maximum.

[1a] a turn of phrase most worthy of his cultural ideal; not unlike (and also wildly dissimilar to) the way in which the only original American culture (pardon to those in the southern continent) is Black. One can't help but find patterns and anti-patterns.

I don't buy that there's anything special about "technologists" here. For example if I were to check the credits of the original Pirates of the Carribean movie, where is the credit to Keith Richards?

That's what Depp is doing right? Captain Jack Sparrow? It's a Keith Richards impersonation, but although Richards gets a part in one of the later sequels partly off the back of that, I don't see a credit for it in the first movie.

This is just how culture works. The pollination shades over from straight plagiarism, through homage and satire, until it's just unconscious assumptions and then it slips out of view entirely and even the creator has no idea it was there. Long before you disappear into the unconscious you're into a space where what you thought you were saying isn't what your audience understood at all. There are Warhammer 40K fans who don't realise that the Ultramarines are a joke. Yes they're blue, why is everybody laughing?
the simplicity of tools falls apart when you need to increase the number of your tools as your problems become complex. Because when the number of simple tools increases the defining feature is the complexity of interaction of your tools rather than how individually simple they are.

And that's why frameworks exist. Because people want their overall environment to be simple (by means of having a properly integrated system) rather than individually simple tools.

This is effectively just systems theory 101. The complexity of a system is the result of the interaction of its parts, not just the sum of its parts taken in isolation.
It's funny to hear things like projects I saw start, turn 25. At that time, essentially nothing in consumer computing was 25, so 25 sounds absolutely ancient, like hearing about a 15,000 year old temple. So hearing about a project I saw start turn 25 is like hearing about a temple I saw the groundbreaking on turn 15,000.
Google didn't "damage" anyone by choosing to upgrade their OS. Lenovo was the one who made a promise at the time of the device sale, and now they are no longer abiding by it. Of course software features are taken away all the time, so that probably won't fly either.
Yeah, when I read the article title, this is how I thought I would do it. Anything that obvious is not patentable in principle, but in practice, Samsung could still destroy any small business it wanted to by taking them to court over it. The patent system is awful

The IRS already has almost all our PII. Not sure how adding a photo materially changes anything in that regard.

I do agree ID.me is the wrong approach. And login.gov should be used in some form over a private enterprise. But, my concern is two-fold… it’s a private entity that I don’t really want to do business with. And the process described by Krebs was impossible - can we really expect everybody to have email, valid phone (what if they aren’t the account owner for the phone), photo ID, and whatever else was required?

Nicely written essay. Also in the realm of historical astronomical events, I find it fascinating that there have been 7 supernovae that have in occurred in human history that were visible the naked eye.

That’s the slow way, but sure. I was referring to the fact that the government does occasionally react to negative press and roll back plans, as is evidenced by this case. I’ve yet to see Equifax change its security policies based on negative press.

The Broad Institute hosts a very interesting transcriptomic dataset called CMap [1] that was intended to facilitate rapid drug repurposing. Having studied this dataset and worked with the data generators and software teams, I can say that drug repurposing is NOT as straightforward as people think. However, I agree that as a strategy drug repurposing is a useful tool in the arsenal generally.

Recruits do what they are told because they have been conditioned to do it - it’s the purpose of boot camp, it’s the purpose of drill Sargents, it’s the purpose of the ritual and culture of the military.

If they lose that conditioning or fail to comply, there are many negative consequences for them. From minor things like being passed over for promotion, to jail.

When you become familiar with, and have experience with people and what combat operations actually entails, it becomes obvious why this is the case, and why it is necessary.

Soldiers who do not follow orders, even sometimes nonsensical ones, die or get others killed. Sometimes everyone.

It is impossible and unwise to explain the needs and situation behind every order in a combat situation. Even if there was no leaks, assuming every grunt will have the capacity and meta awareness of the situation to process it correctly and not get confused just doesn’t work. It also opens up reinterpreting orders in ways that have unexpected consequences and end up breaking larger unit movements that depend on specific side effects and actions.

It also has negative side effects of course - inefficiencies, difficulty adjusting to changing circumstances, opportunities for corruption and abuse.

Blind obedience is a double edged sword, for the same reason our brain generally has mechanisms to shy away from us chopping our own hand off. You don’t want that.

But you need to ensure that orders are followed when it matters, or you don’t have a military, you have a social club with tanks.

> If you want good online validation for the public, you need a third party right now.

I should not under any circumstances need to enter into a direct agreement with a private entity like id.me in order to access public services. The government might reasonably subcontract out some of the work, but public services need public accountability. The government service itself needs to be the direct counterparty to the public.

+1 to this. I will grit my teeth and go through a leetcode/coderpad step (I get it, FizzBuzz and all that) but jumping straight to the technical stuff and not giving me the decency of talking to a human leaves the impression that I'm really just a code-producing machine for the org (Which for Amazon, I no doubt expect I would be).

I don't have any expertise that can help here, but I want to chime in and say I feel you. My partner has a rare genetic disorder as well that has put them in the hospital many times in the past few years. We have been VERY lucky because a new drug that treats their condition fairly well was approved by the FDA just MONTHS before my partner started experiencing symptoms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givosiran if you're interested). It's an extremely expensive medicine. Fortunately our insurance covers it! Best of luck to you and your family.

It seems like you don't want user id as much as you want searchable user aliases (or persona ids). Basically, a private id (linking your clients), where there are multiple public persona ids for "searching" and adding people to conversations.

Users in conversations are linked by (private id and the persona id at creation), where messages get sent between the clients.

Meanwhile, people (or rather private ids) get added to conversations by using the publicly searchable personas (i.e. any globally unique string). Then for the life of that conversation, the persona is sticky. You could even add multiple personas from the same user to the same conversation if that is necessary. For some the persona id could be phone numbers, full names, online aliases, emails, etc.

People can then hand out different personas depending on the context.
It started when React had that license fiasco some years ago, and Vue picked up a huge surge of new users as a result. They have, IMHO, been chasing that high ever since.

Having said that, I still like Vue for a markup-first kinda of framework. React is code-first, markup later.

I tend to favour using React for most development scenarios, however, as most are code-first - and also because there are a dozen React candidates for every Vue candidate in my experience.

So in the 3rd case, someone needs to provide food, shelter, and other needs for someone while they work on this tough coal problem. That means that others in society need to either 1) agree and recognize that it is a problem that needs to be solved and voluntarily support them or 2) Trust that whatever people choose to do with their time must be important for the greater good and support them in whatever they do.

I guess the Annaco-communist answer would be the latter.

congrats on the launch! We talked briefly a while back, and I've been checking in on your page every so often to see when things would finally get rolling. The world needs more mechanism design.

Recently in school I've been thinking a lot about constant-function market makers. it occurs to me that you can think of a constant-function market maker as being kind of like an expressive bid. That is, putting your assets in a CFMM is saying you're willing to make any trade among a bunch of assets subject to F(net amount of A, net amount of B, net amount of C,..., net amount of $) = k for some F. Regular limit orders are a special case.

Do you have a sense of how your expressive bids overlap with these? Can I cook up some expressive bid that's equivalent to putting assets in a CFMM? What would the restrictions on F be to make things work with your solvers?
