> Medicare which will give them a blank check with tax payer money?

Whoever implanted this idea into your head was lying to you and you should probably question the other claims that person or organization has said.
If you don't go to jail for this, do you do so for any sort of negligence? What about an Uber driver that runs a red light and kills a pedistrian walking? Or is drunk and kills someone? That worries me a lot more than this story.
I think what people are missing (and perhaps the author is at fault for not calling this out more explicitly), is that the complaint is effectively: SELinux is more difficult to configure than it needs to be / should reasonably be.

Perhaps due to unnecessary internal architectural complexity, the lack of a good configuration interface, and/or bad config docs (which of these is the biggest culprit I'm not sure, but they all seem to have some level of truth to them).

The gp posited that it's necessarily complex - subjective, but I don't buy it. The author provides a good selection of examples that seem straightforwardly non-sensical in their operation: why doesn't audit2allow integrate properly with the overall SELinux architecture instead of requiring separate knowledge of semodule for application. Why doesn't the system keep track of label deprecation as system dependencies are changed & updated? These seem like pretty obvious out-of-the-box basics you would design in, if SELinux had been "designed", but the answer to these questions seems likely to be that it's more of a bundle of un-integrated tools and loose-text configs/blobs without well-thought-through centrally architected database of labels, maps and APIs.

One could even take this blogpost as a constructive set of ideas to improve SELinux, but the scale of the issues do seem overwhelming to change on such a large project, and based on the comments here on HN there seems little will to do so. To the point that perhaps a separate / new approach would be easier.
Very interesting.

I use KDenLive. I don't really do small simple tools.

Eventually you always wind up wanting one or two more advanced features. The simple tools don't prevent needing to learn more complex ones, nor are they significantly faster to use in most cases, so I tend to not really use lightweight apps.

Plus, with some categories, the small simple tools are actually harder to use and slightly dangerous(See dd vs Etcher).

This is a massive outlier though. In your case, the exception proves the rule.

The rule: "The 1% of Nurses that found a partner in the US top 1 percentile will be able to quit their job."
We can still be friends, then.
Exactly, choosing to cut hours or pay due to a lull in business is a choice made by the employer. It's not like these hospitals are sputtering along right at the fringe of solvency and one bad choice will bankrupt them - private health providers tend to make pretty comfortable profit margins and the fact that they can pay such outrageous surge prices for travel nurses is a pretty clear proof of how much they have to spare.
They can, but I'd argue that none of those had the pervasiveness of Facebook. Moreso due to timing & mobile adoption, than any actual failing.

Facebook's moat is that it's the Yellow Pages of social.

It took the web to kill Yellow Pages, not a better phone book. Which is probably why you see FB investing in acquiring social-but-different competitors and researching paradigm shifts.

> Clojure doesn't need JVM. You can run it with GraalVM...

Hm.

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

"GraalVM is a Java VM and JDK based on HotSpot/OpenJDK, implemented in Java..."

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

"Other implementations of Clojure on different platforms include:
- Babashka,[82] Native Clojure scripting language leveraging GraalVM native image and Small Clojure Interpreter.."

I guess you mean that some particular implementation of JVM isn't needed. But in general Clojure has "j" in its name, it wouldn't make sense without JVM at all.
I've used OpenZFS on OSX (https://github.com/openzfsonosx/openzfs#readme) and it's been better to me for cross-os drive sharing than NTFS or UFS, despite their warnings about using it on USB devices

LINQ is an interesting case as I can legitimately imagine only using LINQ for 5-10 years as Microsoft is dedicated to it, and I understand that all .NET languages use it.

However, outside of the .NET world, there is no common ORM that I would use between languages and between projects. Learning an ORM repeatedly is much, much worse than learning SQL once, especially considering the low quality of some of them (I'm thinking Sequelize here, but I'm sure there are others).

For 99% of cases, I don't do string appending; I create different SQL files for different situations and select the file at runtime depending on the situation. 10 SQL files? Sure, I don't care. It's better than the hours of going through JavaScript code at 3AM and trying to understand how to do some random feature that may or may not be implemented in the ORM layer.

Incidentally, I am curious, how do you keep stuff like Views and Stored Procedures version controlled?
But even that stuff is gonna be more configuration than Heroku, right?

Unlike search ads, businesses buying fb/insta ads care a lot about attribution (at what rate does someone who saw the ad buy something).

If ads aren’t effective businesses will stop buying them.

Fake clicks will always result in a no-purchase, and therefore would devalue FB’s offering in the #1 metric ad buyers care about.

Not to mention that would be fraudulent behavior and they’d be opening themselves up to huge litigation risk.
If you define "natural talent" in such an unconventional way sure I guess. But the existence of innate potential does not imply that abilities cannot be improved. Derek Jeter has natural talent. Derek Jeter worked his ass off to cultivate those skills. There is nothing at all mutually exclusive about these things.

Schools spend a lot of time reviewing things over the course of the academic year, including things from prior years - I disagree that it is not possible for students to move tracks with a well thought out curriculum plan. But regardless the proposed curriculum eliminates material that would be covered in upper track courses, and explicitly states it does not aim to have students prepared to take calculus during high school. This is like putting all students on the lower track, which is a hell of a solution to the problem of students getting stuck on the lower track.

Japan's model is much more like putting every student in the high track, it is not comparable to what is being proposed here. Japanese high schoolers are able to take intro analysis in 11th grade, here is a translated textbook that would be extremely rare to see a US 11th grader cover the same material (even with standard tracks you'd be lucky to cover it all in 12th):
https://bookstore.ams.org/mawrld-11

Putting everyone together in the high track has its own obvious issues. ~70% of students go to "cram school" after school in Japan to be able to handle the curriculum: http://www.oecd.org/pisa/keyfindings/PISA-2012-results-japan...

I'm not familiar with math education in those other countries mentioned, but I imagine it is more similar to Japan than the US. Hilariously there have been some recent pushes in Japan to be more like the US education system as far as flexibility is concerned, in order to take some of the pressure off of students.
I think its because they don't keep up with the field. You have some dentists who learn how things are done when they are in dental school in the 1970s and that's how they continue to operate in their private practice until they retire. They might also be good friends with other specialists and will send their patients there because of that relationship (and they do at least trust their work). There are also different philosophies. Some dentists might prefer you keep original tooth if possible and have you get some advanced imaging done before they decide a treatment plan; others might lean on the side of avoiding additional imaging and just pulling the tooth assuming it is compromised.

To get around that, I prefer to get dental work done at dental schools. The faculty at the schools have their own practices within the schools, and you can be sure that they are doing all the up to date stuff that is currently being taught and following sensible practices in terms of treatment plans. Prices are also fair. If you opt for a student dentist its even cheaper and many low income people use this service (although appointments are much longer since everything they do has to be signed off by a faculty member responsible for a floor of students).

The difference between that and a bank account ban is that I don't see a way for them to implement a crypto ban. They may as well legislate that said truckers are elephants - a legally interesting policy but with hard to determine practical implications.

Australia has a soft ban on Monero, it isn't illegal but they've tried to make it difficult to buy using the same regulatory trick of pressuring the trading institutions. I assume because it is useful for trading drugs or something. That has had nearly no impact on my ability to buy some because in the world of crypto the government doesn't have a way of forcing me to deal with entities that follow their KYC laws. At least not without sending police to the door and they don't have the resources to pull that off.

It isn't even clear they have the resources to figure out I bought Monero after buying an interim cryptocurrency. It'd be a massive waste of resources if they did, and it might not be feasible full stop.

At a practical level, if something like that happened in Australia, one of those truckers could come to me and say "hey roenxi, I will give you $300 worth of Monero if you get me $150 worth of groceries". Or someday the reverse - basically barter. It is really, really hard for me to see how a government would prevent that without going seriously totalitarian in a way that the Trudeaus of the world haven't floated as an idea so far. But it is easy for me to see that a cryptocurrency would be a good way to execute that.

One idea I've had is what if the protocol were designed in a way that a server can't be scaled too much, thus forcing lots of small servers to federate instead of having single entities running a large server with tens of thousands of users.
The browser is the one who stores and sends cookies. It would be trivial to make that action explicit and only at the users request. That wouldn't even be a new feature, that used to be how things worked 20 years ago. Lynx is however the only browser left that I know that still asks you before storing cookies.

You don't even have to shift through cookies for this to work, you can just reject all by default until the user explicitly request them to be stored (or use a whitelist or wait until the users tried to login that would necessitate a cookie, etc.) Lots of possibilities.

> is way too much to ask from a regular internet user.

That's kind of the point. By making it all transparent and seamless browser makers played into the hand of marketing companies. If cookies had a cost and would degrade the user experience, they might be thinking twice before putting hundreds of them on a site.

Marketing companies are just making use of the tools they are given. And browser manufacturers gave them a lot of tools, while taking control away from the user.

I agree. By down, I meant going back to being 2-3% higher than inflation and not being literally 'free money' by being behind inflation.

Agreed. I think my next sentence clarified that, but yes. In isolation, it does look like I am supporting inflation. My bad.
it's going to take a lot of marketing to get people to accept VR in large numbers, too much dystopian sci-fi that instantly makes people not interested. When I look at those headsets I instantly think some combination of The Matrix and Brave New World.

But maybe Zuck knows about some forthcoming propaganda campaign to focus on getting people to use VR to distract from income inequality, putting the majority of the population into the digital world seems like the best way to distract from real world issues

Incidentally reflecting one of the better mechanisms for information filtering.

Party A states some claim / makes an observation.

Party B curates that as relevant.

This isn't always viable, and can of course be gamed or subject to low-quality curation. But it at least disintermediates interests.

The Internet Archive uses a similar mechanism in choosing which YouTube content to archive. It monitors Twitter for YouTube links, and uses that as a filter for curating YouTube content. (Brewster Kahle in an interview or documentary I'd watched / listened to recently. Probably a video as it doesn't seem to be in my podcast episodes index.)

Oh, and thanks ;-)
I share the dream, but I season it with a splash of optimism.

The internet is a revolution in information availability and communications capability. People can, right now, learn anything they want, anything at all, for free, all they need is interest, dedication and to prioritize setting aside time for it. The business world still largely operates on the old paradigm though: signaling capability through credentials. But as companies find time and time again that the two don't always (or even usually) correlate, they're creating interesting interview processes to assess capabilities. The credential is largely a legacy requirement in environments like this.

The pace of this change is accelerating. I think over the coming decades you're going to see less importance placed on credentials in technical fields, and people will begin to just learn what they're interested in, what can get them ahead in life, on their own time, and try to work in those fields on their merit and capability. I do believe that one day people won't need credentials, they'll only need to prove themselves. This is easier for honest people but harder for grifters and phonies.

Of course, there are jobs for which mindless obedience, willingness to waste hours of your life and capacity to eat shit are defining characteristics for success. Hopefully those jobs go away, but as long as they exist, they'll have senseless requirements like credentials that people will go through the rigmarole to get. Jobs built out of red tape will have red tape.
If the specification is lax, it's because the expected behavior is different across platforms. C (and C++) has to support platforms where bytes are more than 8 bits, where floats are non-IEEE, and (until recently) where signed integers are not 2's complement. If you want a specific behavior and don't care about portability all you have to do is read the ABI spec alongside the standard.

The makefiles indicated by you are relatively simple makefiles, they do not belong to the class "horrible".

The main problem even with these simpler makefiles is that they are too complicated, because they are written for a single project.

This is something that is difficult to change in the case of most open-source projects, which are intended to be independent from other software projects.

The greatest simplifications in makefiles are done by extracting the common parts of the makefiles from all projects in generic makefiles that should be included in the specific makefiles of each project.

Doing this, it is possible to reduce the effort of writing makefiles for 100 or 1000 software projects to little more than the effort of writing a single makefile.

Besides the reuse of the same make rules, of the same make targets and of many make definitions in all projects, other important simplifications are to never write manually the file dependencies when they can be detected automatically, which is normally true for all compilation tasks, and to never write manually the lists of source files, because they should also be detected automatically.
