SS7 may or may not have been intentionally backdoored at the time, but its development also predates the invention of the RSA algorithm upon which all modern security is founded. A key–exchange system like RSA or its successors is really required to do end–to–end encryption, and some sort of CA system is necessary if you are going have any hope of verifying that you are talking to the correct phone on the other end.
> but things like health insurance can easily cost $1000+ a month if you want full coverage

Yeah but if you multiple that by 12, you get something like $12k, or $15k for argument's sake. That $15k does not explain the disparity between a €55k/yr salary and a $150k/yr salary, so clearly there is another force that is at play here.

We have developed a groundbreaking app that allows parents to conduct quick assessments regarding their childrens' heads, ears, eyes, and skin—all from the palm of their hands.

We are looking for an exclusive group of first users to start testing out our app and providing feedback.

You should be an iOS (iPhone) user and have (or expecting) at least one child. You can be a child guardian or in a close and frequent contact with a child through a friend or family member.
I always wondered how that worked. How does Apple knows to display a company name instead of the "small numbers that are not actual phone numbers" (IIRC they are called Large Accounts)?
Ask HN: Any reason why TUI aren't more used as internal tools?
I see no point in developing Web interfaces for internal company needs. TUI are cross platform, are obviously interactive, update-able in real time if needed, just like a web application.

I am proposing this because in our place we are constantly in a lack of a front developers to actually implement interfaces for outside public, so there is no way we can get one assigned for internal needs.

While creating TUIs is simple, and can be done by a backend dev without descending into the hellpit of yarn, node, npm; or even learning Django which looks like an overkill
It's not surprising that someone who sounds like a sort of free speech absolutist agrees that permanent bans are bad for the idea of free and accessible speech.

The problem I have with some free speech purists is that they give me a feeling that they are persons who are more often than not unaffected by speech that can be categorised as inciting hatred towards a people, and thus they see little to no problem with being able to spread harmful bad faith speech freely on an algorithmic social media site - or any place for that matter.

It's a tricky thing for which there are no real correct answers. What I do know is that socially and politically we have several unwritten rules about what, where and how to speak about things because not abiding by those rules results in things as minor as slight embarrassment to as severe as physical violence. That is to say, things can spiral out of hand and the usefulness of speech deteriorates if some standards are not kept.

Twitter shouldn't be the judge of what an American president can say, because the American people should have already filtered out a person of such low integrity from gaining a position in such a high public office. All this time I've felt amused by how much our American friends can talk about what should or shouldn't Twitter do, but seemingly never discuss how they can as a society make sure that the executive office doesn't get filled by someone who brought their entire democratic process to disrepute.

To conclude, I think if you aren't scared of what another Trump can do to your country or its societal fabric or your personal freedoms then I see no reason why a Dorsey doesn't think Trump should be allowed to come back. The women of his country already saw what one term of Trump did to the rights they thought they had. Not all political turmoil is scary for those who are safe from politics.
The covid vaccinations are not live and so there is no "shedding" if this is your avenue of exploration
There are 100s of people popping up in reddit and twitter who seem to be suicidal over this (Luna+UST). Sad but there are people who put bizarre amounts of money they worked hard for (or borrowed) into this...
I'm still unhappy with this. I had ~5 BTC with them, but have never been able to give sufficient evidence for settlement, and they keep taunting me with monthly settlement emails.
> Why do you want to do that? Well, when you have a machine with virtualization you can share the /usr partition across all instances, physically.

Or you could share the whole /usr over NFS to hundreds of diskless workstations, each having their own separate / (also shared over NFS). Remember that disk space was expensive back then; having hundreds of identical copies of the large /usr tree on the NFS server would be a huge waste.
Capitalism isn't a zero sum game, and competition along with cooperation has existed throughout human history. Even with eusocial insects like ants, there is still competition with other colonies. Lions and hyenas are cooperative in their prides/packs, but they certainly compete for food and territory with each other.

True, but also, newspapers were still very financially stable. The number of gainfully employed journalists throughout the U.S. was far greater. Regional and city newspapers thrived. Now, many are dead and many of the survivors are slowly dying. Print news is now looking like a power law: a handful flourish (NYT, WSJ, WaPo, etc.) and a long tail struggles to stay afloat. These outcomes are, in part, created by people's perception that the information generated by news organizations is a both a commodity and is free. Neither is actually true.
Of the changes while I think that the design categories are cool (who wouldn't want to stay in a Le Corbusier designed space at least once?) the "AirCover" stuff is probably most impactful and mitigates a major pain that I've had/been concerned about with booking (and from other threads on Airbnb sounds like others have too)
The free market should be thought of as an optimization algorithm. Ideally, the government's role should be to set up a constrained optimization problem, which attempts to align profitability with human well-being (e.g., "provide people with whatever material comforts they want to pay for, under the constraint of not poisoning them and not polluting the environment"). The market's role is to solve the constrained optimization problem, and if the incentives set up by the government are good, the optimal point of profitability should reasonably approximate an optimal point of human well-being.

The error of so-called free market proponents, is that they want the government to set up an unconstrained optimization problem. The market will find some kind of optimum, but without intelligently designed constraints (i.e., regulations), there's no guarantee that optimal profitability should correspond to optimal human well-being.
Yes. The rich have a different set of rules everywhere.
Mh, yes we actually can. These platforms can ban anyone and it's fully within their rights. They are not regulated in a way which prevents them from doing that.

Sounds like liberty on their end, doesn't it? I do find it a little ironic, this is what you get in free market capitalism.

People keep talking about having "your lawyer" do something as if everyone just walks around with a personal pet lawyer and I never understood it. Are you suggesting that you should hire a law firm at $1000/hour to mildly annoy some website..?
>> Do you think we should penalize people being lucky?

If this means that this will increase morale of others, then why not?

For me mere existence of luck factor means that the system is not build for the people but for the benefit of the owners of the system. Its a bit like with the casino - in the end house always wins because the system is build with them in mind and not the players.
"The average coal worker has almost no chance of failure."

Surely death at their job is failure, and historic chances of coalminer dying on the job used to be extremely high?

'I define the chance of failure to define what is hard work."

I define 3 to equal to 4

If you want to say 'free market reqards risk', thats fine, but don't redefine english language to suit your needs

If you are replaceable, and more coal minera can be hired in 5 minutes, it does not matter how hard you work and how much you risk.

The tip 3 predictors of success are family wealth, what school did you go to and the social connections. None of those are hard work or risk.
Would you consider China (which has done a great deal of padding that poverty statistic) neoliberal? I'd say they have a mix of market practices that both benefit from free global trade and at the same time is quite protectionist in a number of ways and i wouldn't exactly define it as neoliberal.
Ask HN: How does Swift compare to Ada 2012?

Why don't we attempt to strip the power from wealth rather than attempting to take people's wealth away?

The fact that wealth and power are correlated has a lot to do with the fact that we have these hugely complicated legal systems with a lot of gray areas. The wealthier you are, the more you can afford to look for loopholes.

What if we took an axe to the codes of laws and closed the loopholes? What if we stripped certain offices of power so that there wasn't much benefit to corruption?

Humanity has built systems that give the wealthy power, but we don't have to design them this way.
So doing the right thing for the wrong reasons? I'm still hoping that it passes.
But meritocracy is different from income inequality. Some examples.

Society 1 has classes. The small owning class has all their income from their inherited investments. While the majority are peasants. If you are a peasant, no matter how hard you work, you won't get any more pay and thus cannot do investments.

Society 2 has no real classes. Taxes on inheritance are high. Education is free. Startups are supported by the governments. Rich people's offspring don't usually just live on investments. In families, generations and even siblings move up and down between rich and poor status all the time.

Society 1 and 2 might have the same income inequality by some metric. Yet 2 is much more meritocratic than 1.

She is talking about defending her rights in court.
Nice. Simplest fix would be to introduce a local variable int c=*count before the loop.
(which you also would do with a non optimizing compiler so the count could be in a register.
I would argue that's the people's problem. How important is what they have to say anyway if they won't read the source and can't detect sarcasm?

edit: also, even if it's not a direct quote.. c'mon, it is what he's saying. The SEC made a rule that applies _specifically for crypto companies_, saying they have to disclose that crypto assets under their custody could potentially be taken in a bankruptcy.. and this guy goes on to say what he was just forced to disclose is not true. It doesn't get more obvious.
Twitter should enforce their ToS no matter who breaks them.
For purposes of operating the service. Not for commercializing IP.

If I on Titanic and upload it to Dropbox. A creditor during bankruptcy couldn’t use those rights to sell streams of Titanic.

For coinbase, a creditor could sell the crypto stored.
That seems to be equating it with message passing, but messaging is already the first item mentioned by Alan (messaging, local retention ...) so I thought it might mean something else.
This is an English-speaking board where people have individualistic preferences so it isn't surprising that people default to an answer from private capital, but in Europe the government does this, and it works. Starting a company in the Netherlands was a breeze, and the tax breaks are very generous in the first few years.
It's fully backed by cash held at US banks and by US Treasuries, per my understanding. And this disclosure did not pertain to those reserves, which are held in trust on behalf of customers as per state money-transmitter laws, which customers would presumably not be treated as unsecured creditors, but only to cryptocurrencies held in Coinbase-controlled wallets.
How can you be sure your phone stays helium-tight if you are allowed to change the battery yourself?
The AirCover policy looks like a game changer that elevates Airbnb basically to hotel-like level of service.

Just wondering if they won't default to "we will just refund you" in case the host cancels (1st scenario)

In that situation, if I get the info 1 day before arrival and just a refund, then I am screwed anyway since the prices on the market will be sky high.
You're right, what I thought was encoding/filter SEGVs were the bug in handling "-j6".
I wonder if this will cause them to go bankrupt because users get scared and leave. Just like Bear Stearns in 2008
Also likely that your average CEO is not spending time washing dishes, doing the laundry or grocery shopping. There is more capacity for "work" when the only work you do is your day job.
Fascism is an extreme Bonapartism.

It is authoritarian, and anti-republican. Anti-republicanism in practice: removing power from courts (especially supranational organs like the US supreme court), consolidating media power (aka removing or pushing to the fringe dissident media) and removing various transparency laws (in France, stuff like making sure the campaign accounting is public, or letting the public know the complete estate?(patrimoine) of the presidential candidates).

You can in practice have a fascist semi-democracy or oligarchy. Another key point is that unlike Bonapartism, and like Nazism and Stalinism, Fascism don't use plebiscite that much, historically only at the start, to help consolidate its power. This make it quite different from Gaullism (which is a very moderate Bonapartism). While Fascism, unlike Nazism, is not expansionist, it still have racist undertone and can use the hierarchy of races to justify colonialism and neo-colonialism, and appartheid.

Like other far-right ideologies, their myth can be resumed like this: "We (our ethnical/religious/cultural/national group) are the best in the world. But right now, we aren't at our rightful place. This is because these external groups (The French/the English/the Russians/the Chinese) are preventing us to reach it, aided by our internal enemies(The Gypsys/the Jews/the communists/the anarchists/the libs) that we have to render inoffensive by any mean."

I do see some fascists nowadays, but this is true that they are less anti-republican than they used to be 80 years ago, so a new denomination might be necessary? Unless anti-republicanism is just an inheritance from Bonaparte and not as central as i thought?
This is really interesting, it's (basing it on SQLite) exactly what I was expecting CloudFlare to do for their first DB.

Its perfect for content type sites that want search and querying.

Anyone from CF here, is it using Litestream (https://litestream.io) for its replication or have you built your own replication system?

I assume this first version is somewhat limited on write performance having a single "main" instance and SQLite laking concurrent writes? It seems to me that using SQLite sessions[0] would be a good way to build an eventually consistent replication system for SQLite, would be perfect for an edge first sql database, maybe D2?

Yes, but I assume the context of “breaking laws” is in relation to his actions surrounding the 2020 election. I don’t think the court cases he was involved in before taking office played any part in his ban from Twitter.
Does that also mean that embedded programming involves being conservative about compiler updates? Because otherwise those choices might become completely invalid one upgrade later
> The original claim was that the left hadn't moved. The response was "prove it".

No, the original claim was actually this: "political animosity may be based particularly on partisans’ overestimation of the prevalence of extreme, egregious views held by only a minority of opponents but imagined to be widespread."

The counterclaim was: "There's objective measurements that the democrats moved far left creating the polarization."

My suggestion was that this counterclaim seems to be exhibiting the same fallacy discussed in the paper.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties are very large, and its members have a wide variety of views. If you pay close attention, you'll see that there's quite a bit of infighting, sometimes very bitter, even within each party. Broad generalizations about Democrats or "the left" — and likewise about Republicans or "the right" — are often going to be grossly inaccurate. You can't just treat huge groups as uniform when they're demonstrably not uniform.

The American people — well over 300 million of them — have diverse political views. But we have a political duopoly. Which means that these diverse views held by Americans have to somehow fit mostly within these 2 parties. It's a mistake to overgeneralize about political parties and similar groups.

I personally find the terms "left", "right", "liberal", "conservative" to be practically meaningless. They've lost all of their original meaning and become opaque cudgels for the political parties to pretend they have some kind of coherent ideology. But this is a bit of a tangent.

Anyway, I would bet that most Democrats and most Republicans don't even know WTF CRT is. Even the ones who complain about it!
Nearly everything out of Trump's mouth was/is a lie. Pretty sure that caused a lot of people anxiety.
I would be shocked if they didn't do that, since it tells you a lot about the user's inhibitions.
While I agree with the overall idea here, something really odd struck me and that was that the author seems to assume that this would inevitably be some sort of microservice.

For so many companies, small to large, a microservice here would not just be an aditional point of failure as the article points out, but would totally over complexify the problem, when for most companies simply storing this data in their regular database, data store, whatever, and calling a relevant method to determine eligibility would suffice, and would require a hell of a lot less code.

customer.can_use_widgets? instead of customer.is_on_gold_plan?

customer.storage_allowance instead of customer.on_plan?("honkin' storage")

etc.

If you find that this won't scale at a later date then by all means turn it into a microservice, or add cacheing or whatever, but for most people that will never happen and time spent now solving the assumed scaling problems will be wasted.
A rather cynical take, liberally sprinkled with straw men and conjecture, served fait accompli.
I don't see what the deposit has to do with loan repayment capacity. You can have a couple with stable good paying jobs, but they must waste money in rent for a few years to be able to save enough for an upfront deposit? Evaluate on their salary and job prospects.

Here in France the deposit isn't a hard %, but banks expect it to be able to cover "notary taxes" ( what you pay to the notary and the state for the acquisition, which is usually in the 2%-8% range).
The surprising thing to me is that 'char8_t' (a new C++ 20 thing I'd never heard of) is not just a typedef to char with all the same aliasing implications, but a new and distinct type to which the magic 'char' alias rules don't apply (also, unsigned).
If you paid the CEO of McDonald's the same amount as a burger flipper, you are going to get someone who is wrong much more frequently. When we see that CEOs get things wrong, that seems to be more of an artifact of the future being hard to predict than any individual being stupid.
But this puts Twitter in the business of fomenting insurrection against the country it operates in. Trump was banned not for expressing morally ambiguous political positions, but because he fomented a mob to attack the Capitol and he used Twitter specifically during that insurrection to cause the mob to focus its attack on the Vice President. He was watching the events in real time on TV, and he was using Twitter to stoke the flames. Why should Twitter allow its platform to be used that way?

What is Twitter supposed to do, ban Trump for a week every time he uses their platform to advocate for violence? Does that mean we can all advocate for violence on Twitter? I mean, have they really thought this through?
I have experienced something similar in Montana, only seen one time. This was late into the night, during a severe thunderstorm. The storm woke me up. Looking out the window, lightning seemed to be continuous, for at least a couple of minutes. Like a xenon strobe light with the frequency sufficiently high to appear persistent to the human visual system. It looked like an alien abduction scene -- the outside landscape appeared to be illuminated as brightly as daylight.
Thanks! I barely remembered the Rentenmark, but didn't think about it at all, very interesting.

Jack is showing that he’s unprincipled. He doesn’t shape his decisions around principles, he shapes his ostensible “principles” around his decisions.

The question they (Jack, but also Elon) ask themselves is not “what’s the principled decision to make?” but “What’s best for me in this moment?” and in the moment Trump was banned, banning Trump was the best decision for Jack. And now the best decision for Jack is not to ban trump…

A person without principles is a bad leader.
1. No, it's not built on Litestream. Operating a massive network and shuttling data around is kind of our thing.

How come this is not a widely held opinion? This view should be a norm. Do not ban a president of a country on social media. Period. When a private company decides to do so, it should be profusely condemned by everyone. Should Putin's twitter be banned as well?
I don’t know anyone who sends remittances daily. Most send a portion of their paycheck so weekly or biweekly. And many people I know batch those payments to reduce fees so they send monthly.

The problem is that sending in Bitcoin is more expensive than WU.
