Ask HN: How do you establish trust with strangers?
While home-buying I was bombarded with dozens of introductions to strangers asking me to wire large sums of money and share sensitive personal information, typically via email. The emails themselves were suspicious – from dubious domains, lacking signatures – few if any signals to trust the individual.

To establish trust I asked them to Facetime and share IDs mutually, but they balked. I've tried this before and people are generally reluctant. Asking for a mutual phone call with a trusted person was also met with suspicion.

Ultimately, I met the escrow agents and sellers face-to-face at their business to collect business cards and transfer information. There's still no better authentication than meeting a person at their place of business: they have business cards, an office, co-workers – half a dozen signals to verify identity.

Despite the high incidence of wire fraud and identity theft, authentication protocols are all one-sided. Customers require credentials but there's no way to authenticate the business agents. This goes beyond banking to include healthcare, utilities, credit bureaus, the tax industry – any business relationship that shares sensitive or personal info.

tl;dr :

So, how do you go about establishing trust with strangers in order to share sensitive information or transfer money? What process and / or tech do you use to identify & trust the other side of the transaction?

My Proposal :

On the social side, we need to improve the culture of verifying identity to encourage a mutual process. Both sides need to share IDs and proofs of identity for any transaction to be sound.

As for technology, we need better systems to empower customers to validate the authenticity of agents, including one-time tokens and business verification. A system like "The Work Number", used for employee verification, could be effective to validate business agents without compromising them. These systems need to be stable over legacy channels like phone, fax, wire transfers, paper checks & email – systems that will remain for 30+ years.

As software engineers we need to establish trust mutually and give more attention to the business-side of the trust relationship.
"Sending women to work".

Need I remind you women are creatures with their own volition and needs, who may decide for or against going to work -- and derive satisfaction or frustration from it -- just like men?

You could make the more reasonable argument that it's increasingly unreasonable to expect any person of any sex to sit in an office for 8 hours a day. And that's not even to mention people doing real, physically extenuating work for really long hours (which those of us on HN tend to forget about, comfy in our white collar bubbles).

Good grief — for one thing, teenagers vaping is a crisis.

That alone appears to render your entire comment moot, but I'll add that all of my comments today have been incredibly consistent: smoking cigarettes is really really really bad and vaping nicotine is really bad (because its addictive, there are longterm implications of inhaling nicotine, ...) - to put it another way, if you smoke combustible cigarettes then you should switch to vaping ASAP. But if you do not smoke combustible cigarettes do not start vaping because nicotine is highly addictive!

PS: equating nicotine to caffeine is incredibly stupid and offensive towards the millions of people that battle nicotine addiction every day.
I wonder if it is useful for flushing PFAS and other forever chemicals from the body?

They found that indigestible oils like Olestra served to flush out the chemicals that bonded with oils, so maybe the high fiber potato diet is good for flushing out something else?

As an aside, that website is a great example of what the web used to be. Absurdly informative, fun to browse, and obviously a labor of love.
I assumed the poster was unfamiliar with the American health care system, or only familiar with vagueries and stereotypes. The phrase "health care dollars" probably didn't translate very well, since health care programs such as VA, medicare and medicaid are poorly understood in the US, let alone the rest of the world.

Much easier than assuming someone was trolling.
It's consistent with the FDAs current stance to also ban menthol cigarettes.

You have the option of using HTML or JSON to store the document. I am storing it as JSON in a database column. The advantage of JSON is that it's already in the native form for ProseMirror, it is relatively straight-forward to merge documents together and can be easily queried from my database (SQL Server).
That is exactly what I'm claiming, as evidenced by the timeline and events as they occurred. To label a resounding defeat as a withdrawal, simultaneously claim the withdrawal treaty was Trump's plan (but not hold Biden to account for breaking it), and then also claim that this was a continuation of the previous administration's policy... I mean these responses are inline with the sort of "facts don't matter" tribal rage I expected. Yours however, that dismisses the US blatantly breaking a treaty, is the special kind of qualified US military apologist rhetoric (just so long as the president has a D by their name) that is truly contemptible. Hence why your comment got the reply.

That’s quite a brave thing to do.
So in California we were losing about half of our money to taxes, its always fun to make estimated tax payments when you received your quarterly RSUs(~40% of the RSU money goes to taxes when you get them) and then with the rest putting half of that towards a quarterly tax payment, we left the state to avoid the stranglehold of taxes and will probably go to 1 income as two high earners just isn't worth it, but if you like higher taxes move to Europe, you may love it there.

That's true, but for his level of success that's arguing you should buy two lottery tickets instead of one because it greatly increases your odds of winning.
I’ve been following Zeihan since his first book. I’m yet to find a credible counter argument to his theses. And he’s being proven right at an alarming pace this year.

So far this year we’ve had:

- A land war in Europe

- Food insecurity in the developing world

- Breakdown of supply chains and shipping routes

- Nation states resorting to seizing each other’s ships (see Greece-Iran issue recently).

Everything that he had talked about in the past and in his latest book.

The thing about Zeihan’s arguments is that you can’t really argue against demographics. You can procure any resource from any part of the world, but if you want an 18 year old to consume or work or fight, you HAVE to wait 18 years. Or import them from elsewhere - which causes all sorts of cultural and societal conflicts.
The big thing you get with Teleport that you don't yet get with Tailscale --- apart from entirely owning the source of truth for SSH authentication on your own infra, which is a very minor issue for almost everyone but is a major issue for some people --- is that Teleport gives you transcript-level audit logs of your SSH sessions.

Teleport also has that web-based SSH console (it's one of the better web-based consoles) and the ability to do joint SSH connections. But the audit log is the big one.

Obviously, the flip side of this is that Tailscale's SSH is built in; if you're already using Tailscale, and you're not already using Teleport, you should enable Tailscale's SSH right away; it is hugely better than managing your own SSH service ad-hoc.
Thanks! Happy to hear that it’s so useful!
Unfortunately NetSurf (and other scratch written browsers) are just a demonstration of the trend of Chromification of the web. Outside of old or decidedly accessible sites NetSurf isn't usable on a lot of the web. Too many sites require too much JavaScript for a scratch built non-JIT JavaScript engine to run.

These solutions for things like IP-over-copper-pair are typically designed for situations where you already have the cable buried or strung on poles or whatever - so the choice isn't whether to lay new copper or lay new fiber at roughly equal expense, its really whether to use the existing copper or lay the new fiber at much greater expense

I really think you are narrowly looking at things from near the peak of earning potential and an established career track. That's fine for some and this _is_ a tech oriented site, but still seems rather narrowly focused.

Sample size of 1:

- Job 1 -> Job 2: Neither in tech; 80% raise; even in terms of stress / work

- Job 2 -> Job 3: Move to a Support group in a tech company; 11% raise; much higher stress / work

- Job 2 -> Job 3: Support to Technical Sales; 70% raise (after 5 raises at job 2); less work / higher peak stress (maybe) but lower average stress
Base 2 is used in the world's most common desktop operating system(s) so it's no surprise that people get confused. They buy a hard drive that's supposed to be 1TB and when they install it their computer says it's 0.9TB, that's surprising to those not in the know.

Despite hard drive manufacturers using correct units, people still blame hard drive manufacturers for their disappointment.
Honestly, no.

I find HN comments practically unreadable because of the lack of wrapping. The default render width of a tweet is perfectly reasonable. Maybe you could extend it out to the width of a substack or medium post.

But there's nothing natural about stretching a sentence out across 800 horizontal characters. It's just miserable on a good monitor.
Microsoft, Google, and Apple recently announced support and commitment for multi-device credentials, which you can share between devices in the same "sync fabric". See some discussion on Hacker News here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31294316
Sub-Saharan Africa is irrelevant, economically. Majority of the population engages in subsistence-level agriculture, or resource extraction for foreign companies. IQ Is measured at an average of 70 or lower: https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php (partly due to inadequate nutrition and opportunities).

Corruption and poverty is widespread, and population expansion is directly tied to environmental degradation. This part of the world is one area where fewer or no children should be ideal.

The population of eg. Ghana could be 5 million (as it was as recently as 1950) instead of 50 million, there would just be more mechanization of agriculture (and substantially better quality of life for the people living there).

Possibly even more effective.

No, because I don't judge individual comments based on what handle is attached to it. If you make a shitty comment, it's a shitty comment no matter if you're pro/against cryptocurrencies. And if it's good, it's good, no matter previous stances.

That's because the rails didn't really exist for hiring the kind of talent modern startups needed until recently. We've had about 10 developers in LATAM for 3-4 years and it's been a game changer for my companies.
The C++ API lets you take references into the string. These, understandably, are lightweight, no C++ programmer would expect a reference into the sixth character of a string s[5] to be expensive to make or carry about, but they're mutable and as a result of being lightweight they are not reference counted...

So I've got the string "IR Baboon big star of cartoon" and I take references into it, which are cheap and then you use your C++ 98 copy constructor to get another string, which of course also says "IR Baboon big star of cartoon", when you took it -- and then I scrawl "I AM Weasel" on top of my string using my reference and now your string was changed because it was COW.

If you liked COW for this purpose Rust has std::borrow::Cow which is a smart pointer with similar flavour, Cow<T> is a sum type that's either a thing you own T (and thus you could modify it) or it's a reference, perhaps &T (and thus you can't modify it) but which promises you could get an owned thing (e.g. for strings by deep-copying the string) if you need one. Methods that would be OK to call on the immutable reference (e.g. asking how many times an ASCII digit appears in the string) work on Cow<T> and if you find you need to mutate it (maybe in a rare case) you can ask the Cow for the mutable version, if it already had the owned version you get that, if not it will make one for you.

Rust's traits kick in here, Cow<T> requires T: ToOwned, which is a trait saying "I can make an immutable reference to T into a new thing T you own", obviously types you shouldn't do that to simply do not implement ToOwned and so you can't make a Cow of those types. The standard library provides in particular an implementation of ToOwned for &str which makes Strings from it.

Absolutely, and all true. And the target OBS market doesn't necessarily need it. Just something to keep in mind if you're trying to get ambitious.
It was even a Google product once upon a time (but what wasn't): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Goggles
I have tried using Brave Search (as well as DuckDuckGo) as alternatives to Google but I always had to keep switching back to using Google with the !g bang.

Recently however I have been using Kagi and I think I have found the one search engine that is better than google.

It has been great in every query, allows a ton of customization of ranking, and the people behind it make the Orion browser as well which has been my main driver.

To be fair, even if you were able to get BB(n), it might still be (and probably is) some ridiculously large number, like a billion times the number of atoms in the universe or something. So that wouldn't really help you solve any math problems even if you were able to get the maximum amount of steps

For a lot of things, like solving boolean SAT, we have the equivalent of a "busy-beaver" limit: if you want to solve a SAT instance of size n, you need at most 2^n steps. And being able to solve arbitrary SAT instances in reasonable time would be huge for mathematical proofs as well, because you could do stuff like find proofs up to a fixed size quickly. Point is that math is probably even harder than BB in some sense, since having BB would not really help you solve math problems in practice most likely.
This is a spurious comparison

Not at all. I work in healthcare. We make these comparisons all the time.
Ask HN: What do you think about Domain Driven Design?
I'm taking on a new client for my consulting business and I'm reiterating the need for close working on domain understanding, and therefore domain driven design.

I like the principles but not the details and was wondering if HN had any thoughts/tips when using (or not using) DDD?
How many production plants have been deployed with that technology? How long have they been deployed and what is their ROI?

We know these answers for solar and wind because they've been around for years. Last I heard these new nuclear reactors were just expensive prototypes. I'm not confident that these power plants have the technological readiness to scale up to cover our energy needs in the time we have left.

Now, solar and wind have the energy storage problem that has similarly immature solutions. The difference there is that building wind and solar plants is something that can be done (at scale) today to reduce our carbon footprint and buy time. These investments can be further leveraged as storage comes online to wean us off fossil fuels.

I understand that nuclear is, at least theoretically, a simpler solution. It just isn't yet practical both due to technological immaturity and due to societal resistance to anything with "nuclear" or "atomic" in the name.

We have no idea of the level of demand for a product that well-hidden. The fact I just spent 5-10 minutes without figuring trying to figure this out without success means we have no idea.

Well that will be necessary until windows gets UTF-8 APIs. Probably not soon. Until then there are various optimizations you can do, like caching the UTF-16 conversion alongside the UTF-8 string (good for calling OS APIs frequently with with long-lived strings), allocating temporary UTF-16 conversions on the stack (good for infrequent calls with strings up to a certain size), or storing raw UTF-16 strings as opaque bytes in Rust memory (good for providing strings back to the OS that you got from the OS).

You should try to avoid calling OS APIs in general and cache the results as much as possible. Who knows what the performance characteristics are of an API that has to serve 7 layers of historical OSes simultaneously. Unless you're directly interfacing with the kernel you shouldn't expect much. Omnibar-like layered calls between your app and the OS are a worst-case scenario regardless of conversions.
I have lived in residential neighborhoods my entire life. It is completely common for brief, recurring noises to take place at certain times of the day. Someone might have a car with a loud engine that we hear when they leave for work and return, another neighbor might have a lawn service that starts in the earlier part of the morning. Someone might have a small woodshop in their garage and occasionally I'll hear them sawing in the morning. Hell, my next door neighbor was doing some serious pressure washing all day long yesterday, and that was quite noisy.

People make noise, that's the way things go. I'm not saying it's pleasant - that pressure washer sure pissed me the fuck off, almost irrationally so, so I completely understand where OP is coming from. But what I read in OP's post is that they don't like someone yelling, "Housekeeping!" at 8AM. If that's legitimately the only thing that regularly wakes them up early, then there are plenty of ways to prevent yourself from hearing it.

Edit: Please do not take this as a defense of AirBNB whatsoever - in point of fact, I agree with the general sentiment that they make life difficult for neighbors. That said, there's nuance here, and I'd just like to know more about OP's situation, because what they described doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as other AirBNB horror stories.
