> The zinc deficiency hypothesis is interesting but remains unproven

Just be clear, if the hypothesis was proven it would not be a hypothesis anymore, but would be a theory.

> can't possibly explain large increases in diabetes

You cannot say it is not possible when there is so much evidence that it is possible. Tell me how many people you know diagnosed with diabetes have their doctor get their serum and urinary zinc tested?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/000293...

"Twenty-five percent of these patients had depressed serum zinc concentrations, and all demonstrated hyperzincurla."

100% had high urinary zinc. 100%. This point to a functional deficiency of zinc. 25% had a true deficiency. It might be that the levels of zinc that we have deemed adequate are not adequate for all people.

and this is a great short peice:

The time for research is over, it is time to include serum and urinary zinc testing part of the standard of care for physicians.

> Most people including me don't engage in daily ongoing interventions to avoid COVID-19.

Same could be said for cancer and diabetes. You are probably unknowingly intervening against disease. As far as COVID, you will note the obese are more likely to suffer worse outcomes. So for whatever reason someone watches their weight, even vanity, they are helping prevent themselves from COVID.

> prevention is different from curing an existing condition

My mother prevented her self from having the symptoms of having the symptoms of diabetes occur again by changing her diet. How is that different from curing it?

Listen, what is a disease but a collection of symptoms? If I have no symptoms, where is the disease? If I had diabetes, but was never diagnosed, and I treated myself with a diet to make it go away, would a doctor diagnose diabetes when my blood sugar was normal? Funny, it sounds like you are saying doctors causes permanent diseases?
I wouldn't go with "centuries" of banking on that one. Truth to tell the early days of banking, which is most of the 19th century for the US, were replete with exactly the kinds of frauds and cons that crypto is now replete with. Which is what has led to the regulation and supervision that crypto is in de facto rebellion against.

Of course, the best way to find out why something is not done a certain way, is to try doing it that way.
Serious question, let's say that I have delivered or proven some prototype to users, but I am not already famous or rich or powerful.

How would I convince YC that though I am technically gifted and people like my prototype, there is probably a founder out there elsewhere who has the ability to make the legal/manufacturing side of things work?

Airbnb and Uber essentially disregarded local regulations and let things fall as they may. If you do that with the FCC or DOE I imagine things are a bit more serious?

Most of the problems out there that need solving are not data ones anymore, they're physical/manufacturing related in my opinion.
I noticed that as well - most fuzzers will have a maximum duration or number of iterations they're allowed to attempt when minimizing so as not to starve out actual inputs. It could be that the fuzzer hit that limit, or potentially prioritizes readable inputs over small inputs.

And meanwhile after 9 years of existing intel is still not reliably adding avx 512 to flagship desktop/gaming cpu's, first because of 5+ years of using the same old architecture and process, now because I don't know why they disabled it when it was there. Why was it not a problem for Intel to add mmx, several sse iterations, avx, avx 2, but now 9 years of nothing, even though parallel computing in annoying to program for and depend on gpu's is only gaining in importance?

> There would be little recourse other than this ebanking system refunding you your money directly.

Depending on how the system is designed, such a refund may not be possible. I'm guessing that an offline-enabled ecash system would not support revoking and reissuing currency units, so you might be SOL.

> What would the recourse be if thieves just broke into your house and made you transfer everything over from your main account?

I want to say that this is no different than if you kept cash, gold, art, jewelry, etc., in your house, but ecash would be uniquely easy to conceal and smuggle across borders, so ecash would be a more attractive target for thieves than even an equivalent amount of gold. I'd love to see a deeper discussion by the lawmakers sponsoring the bill because I suspect there is no great answer to your question.

Here is my humble opinion.

Kaspersky is by definition a Russian company that provides antivirus software to many influential western companies and institutions.

The risk of Kaspersky bowing to the pressure from Putin is just too great to ignore. For Kaspersky this can seem unfair, but that is one of the many consequences of Putins actions.

Don't forget who started the invasion and who is still hurting innocent Ukrainians.
> According to TFA, they are searching for a solution that does not involve a decentralized blockchain. They are looking at portable physical devices (either dedicated or built into your phone) to store balances and verify transactions.

The goal sounds admirable and better than some Orwellian central database, but on the other hand it seems that it would to some extent also combine the drawbacks of both cash and hardware devices, especially in the case of something as complex as a phone:

Things that would destroy the cash in my wallet would most likely also wreck my phone, but additionally my phone is more sensitive to being dropped (on the ground and/or in water), subject to random hardware failures, bad software updates, etc. etc. which currently wouldn't affect physical cash at all.

Looking at prices is definitely something I’m going to be doing in the short-to-medium term here. We’ve grown our Heroku bill for years, but I’m not entirely sure what all they take care of that RDS or Aurora wouldn’t also handle.

We currently don’t have anyone who is a dedicated sysadmin, so that’s one thing to keep in mind. We’ve been able to rely on shared sysadmin responsibilities here and there, and have Heroku take care of monitoring if our database has somehow “degraded.” But I do wonder if when Heroku identifies that a database needs to be updated, if they’re really just rebranding something AWS does automatically with RDS. I’m just not sure.
> A vote for 4 says (to me, not a qualified voter) I don't like the current voting, and hiding identities is also undesirable; if this choice is selected, the status quo must be continued until a new alternative is voted upon, but there's clearly desire to do so.

That's a difference without distinction, though. If option 4 were to win, then, what would they then do? The exact same thing as if option 3 were to win -- keep the status quo -- no? The idea that an option 4 win might also get people to consider other voting systems isn't really relevant; you don't vote to consider things that you will then put to vote. You just consider them, and then have a vote. So the "legal" outcome of this vote would be identical if either option 3 or 4 had won.

IMO the DPL is correct that this election was constructed poorly: they should have had either option 3 or 4 in there, not both. But I think that might just be a "too bad" situation: since there are no provisions in the constitution for a "do over", I think the only reasonable thing to do is to accept the results of the election, change the voting system, and then propose a new vote to potentially change it back, but this time more carefully consider the options on the ballot.

Unfortunately, because of the supermajority requirement, this probably won't work as intended. Just because options 3+4 on the current vote (had they been combined into a single option) may have been enough to cause the supermajority requirement to fail, it doesn't mean that there will be a supermajority (in a new vote) to switch back to public voting.

I think they screwed up, but in order to preserve confidence in their system, they'll have to suck it up and live with it.

Story time: I also once had my bank account hacked - in a manner of speaking.

I tell you this story in the hopes that it helps you recognize if you have similar flaws in your own security.

I used to run a VNC server on my home PC (flaw 1). Chinese hackers discovered it and spent three weeks brute-forcing the password (flaw 2). Once in, they installed TeamViewer to allow themselves future access. Then, they logged in at 3am and used my browser-saved PayPal credentials (flaw 3) to paypal themselves $5k from my linked chequing account (flaw 4).

I discovered this several days afterwards when I saw the withdrawals hit my bank account. I then found a few further pending Paypal transactions, and pieced the rest together from VNC and router logs.

Thankfully my credit union believed me that I didn't authorize the transactions and reversed them, making me whole again.

But damn, it's a scary feeling having someone break into your computer, not knowing what they might have looked at or accessed. Very similar to having your home broken into.

> They can't be "in a different order" as JSON keys are not ordered. They can be whatever order, and would still be considered the same.

This is what GP is saying, I'm pretty sure. Object member order is non-semantic in json, so in order to do a semantic diff (one that understands structure), you need to canonicalize the order of the two sides. Simply diffing the output of jq doesn't do that, because (afaik) jq doesn't alter the order.

Basically, if you want this to come up the same:

{"a":"b","c":"d"}
{"c":"d","a":"b"}

you need more than just `diff $(jq) $(jq)`.

Can argue about whether a tool like difftastic should do that, I guess, but I would personally lean towards that it should be smart enough to see this because it's precisely the sort of thing that both humans and line-based diff can be awful at seeing.

To be fair, a huge difference between school and uni is that at the university you're not just supposed to be taught, but you're also expected to spend some significant effort on researching the topics or catching up on basics by yourself. The ECTS system even lists an approximate amount of hours students are expected to spent entirely on their own for each course.

Reversing erroneous transactions is a useful feature of regular financial system.

Yes. A friend of mine is a branch manager for a major bank. She's one of the people who has to deal with unhappy customers victimized by scams. Recently, she had a customer who wanted to send a significant amount of money to a country in Southeast Asia. That's not unusual for a California bank. Then the customer showed up at the branch in tears.
It turned out the customer was being victimized by a "relative in trouble" scam. Fortunately, the receiving bank had flagged the account at their end as suspicious,
and hadn't yet let the recipient withdraw the funds. This allowed the transaction to be clawed back. It took phone calls, messages, management signoffs, and work by people in multiple banks to unwind the transaction, but the money was back in the customer's account in the US in a week.

Reversing a fraud transaction in the banking system is a rare event, and not easy, but it is often possible for a few days after the event.
