> “Logistically, it’s been a nightmare for patients and providers,” Hamdani said. ”[Stimulant medications] are so highly controlled, you can’t just transfer it [to a different pharmacy]. You have to cancel a script. You have to then go find another pharmacy that has it. By that time, it might not be filled because other people have filled it there. It’s a lot of logistical shifting and work on that front. And that’s extremely frustrating for the patient.”

My wife has ADHD and this has indeed been incredibly frustrating. The hurdles you have to jump through are ridiculous. Her last refill, she called ahead to make sure they had stock, then showed up, but it was 30 days after she had filled the last prescription, and their rule was actually you have to wait 30 days from when you picked up, not from when it was filled, even though that is the date on the bottle. Then, of course, the next day they're out, but like it says, you can't just transfer it to another store. You need to cancel, go back to your provider, and they have to send the prescription to another store.

One trick that helped her is to avoid rich neighborhoods. Unfortunately, that means she needs to go further, but pharmacies in poor neighborhoods are very rarely out of Adderall. It's overwhelmingly rich people being diagnosed and treated.

You also can't fill out of state, so we have to plan travel around making sure she can get a refill before we go, and when she used to have to travel for work, I'd need to pick up refills for her and mail them to her hotel.

The GHC is a leftwing organization aligned with climate change fanaticism and the priorities of the degrowth movement, and it seeks to promote ESG policies to facilitate these outcomes.

This reminded me of the concept of Crank Magnetism:

No, the developers simply don't realize that there is a vulnerability, even though they have the required knowledge because they look at the code with the "how do I implement this feature" mindset (which is their job), not a "how could this be abused" mindset.

There's a lot of negativity in this thread and being the good contrarian I am, I wanted to see what's so bad about this. I went ahead and installed it. Sure, the login part is annoying, especially since I don't see any killer features that really need it yet. However, there are some great ideas in this.

The first thing I noticed is that it is fast. Noticeably faster than iTerm, which I use daily. Printing a large file doesn't stutter at all. As a test I printed (cat) a large video file. Warp finished in half a second, where I had to kill iTerm because I got bored watching all the garbled text fly by. Now, I'm not often printing video files to my terminal, but boy is it annoying when I do something dumb like that on accident. Sometimes iTerm just stops responding.

Other than that, there's some great feature innovations, like keeping the prompt visible even when scrolling or treating every command as a block. The block idea is nice because I can pin (bookmark, I guess) the output, so I can easily refer to it later instead of constantly scrolling around to find it. Maybe other terminals do this, but I've never seen it.

Also, aside from turning off telemetry, I didn't have to do any configuration to get it in a usable state. With iTerm I spend at least 30 minutes poking around the hundreds (thousands?) of settings to set everything up.

Now, there are some features than need a bit of work, like the AI stuff is pretty basic. It can't really do complex commands, like anything involving pipes or xargs. Tab completion is a bit clunky, like it will try and cd me into a text file.

Anyway, it's clear to me now that I've become complacent with iTerm and there's still a lot of innovation on the table for terminals. I think a new generation of developers that care less about open source and privacy will like this. However, I'm mostly happy that there seems to be real innovation here. Maybe we'll see some of the best ideas make their way into other products?
Thanks for taking time to clarify Dang, meant no harm.
Yeah, this basically summarizes my thoughts regarding this issue.

To over-simplify, I foresee two possible outcomes.

1. The merge makes AB worse. That's fine because while I somewhat enjoy their games, they aren't doing anything ground-breaking and their existing catalog of games is good enough for me to keep playing if I ever get the urge for something they've made. And if they fold in a flaming wreckage of nonsense, that's fine, because again, their existing catalog of games is fine as is, and I wouldn't greatly miss future entries.

2. The merge makes AB better. Great! Maybe some of their existing IPs are improved beyond simple incremental improves and maybe even some new IPs that are worth playing come about. I see this is a win for everyone.

I do see the side of "MS has enough money to bully companies like Sony", but the thing is, Sony is still the clear leader in the console gaming space. This means any concession that MS gives out end up feeling like handouts to the market leader, which just feels strange to me.

But at the end of the day, if that means agreements to release titles like Call of Duty on Playstation (is anyone really concerned whether they come out on Nintendo platforms?) that's fine by me as well.
What studios has Sony acquired that are in the same ballpark as Activision? They are pretty huge. Are there any? Genuine question.
> There is little correlation between climate change denial and scientific literacy. But there is a strong correlation between climate change denial and political affiliation.

This just means that climate change is not a scientfic/technological/engineering problem yet, but a political one.
So, to try and add some value to this conversation vs just reporting a personal anecdote... Do people here have suggestions for actually-good white-hat companies?

Can you recommend companies that you've personally worked with who employ knowledgeable security engineers (hackers) to perform real penetration tests and conduct valuable security scans resulting in value-add reports your engineering team can work with?

Not looking for naming and shaming...but rather "Who doesn't suck at doing this?".
This is breaking news. Give it a few more minutes and better articles will appear that don't assume a readership informed about German day-to-day business.

This has zero teeth and won't change a single thing. It's virtue signalling at best.
Valve doesn't really do "exclusives" with Steam the way other platforms have exclusives. If a game is only available on Steam, it's not because their was a contract signed or money paid to enforce that. It's because the developer or publisher has decided not to make the game available elsewhere for their own reasons.
Xbox seems to do just fine getting people to buy Game Pass over offering games at full price. That changes the status quo of how games are bought and consumed enough that they really don't have to change the prior model of $70 entry fee + DLC that Sony is still using to entice anyone to switch who doesn't really want to play Sony exclusives.

Yes - Sony are the ones to hold on to exclusives right now. Not Microsoft.

"A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"
My version of events:

You write about Renaissance: "a huge part of their advantage was not paying their taxes"

Me: the 7B is past taxes, interest, and penalties. They grew 66% annualized to over 130B. So the $7B is not big enough to make it a "huge part of their advantage".

You: The 7B is not taxes. Presumably they failed to pay much more than that. I don't know how much, I doubt it would be possible to calculate.

Did you look? I didn't just pull the phrase from my butt - it's in many articles, and is standard IRS practice. Yet, without looking to update your view, you state it's not taxes. At this point I realize you don't care to learn or look or read. So I cited a clean place to read the phrase.

And then you move your "huge advantage" to "nearly half that magic was tax fraud." Missing 7B on taxes allows 66% growth to 130B in 30 years? I asked for napkin math - because I have done decades of modeling of this type of stuff, professionally and as an amatuer , and I don't see any way this happens.

Maybe you're used to just making quantitative claims without evidence and not getting pushback for stuff that simply doesn't line up. I am much more interested in people who will back up quantitative claims with evidence, and am willing to call people out on claims pulled from thin air as if they were fact.

So sure - go model a world where missing 6B in taxes over 30 annual growth returns of 66% results in half the returns to 130B. If the difference were taxes, the govt could do it too tax free (since they make laws), and in 20 years after putting in 10B (which is trivial for govt), they'd have 252 trillion.

But they cannot, because the returns Renaissance got are not from tax issues.

So, if you are going to make quantitative claims, don't state them as true unless you can provide decent numerical evidence.

Hope that's useful feedback. Take care.

Edit: out of curiosity I looked at your comment history - I see many threads where you complain people misread you. It seems common you write something, someone calls you on it, and you attack them and say they're not reading your words properly, simply when they call you on wht you wrote. Hope that's useful.

It could also be bringing new money to those sites by referring users to them.

So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The issue with Google had more to do with antitrust behavior than with copyright infringement.
Google Search is blocked in China, so anyone using it anyways is using a VPN or some other circumvention mechanism, which likely correlates with interest in stuff like ChatGPT.

Google Trends "interest" does not indicate absolute search traffic but is a measure relative to the normal traffic in a region. (If it were absolute, large population centers would always have the most "interest" in everything.)
I'm perfectly willing to believe in the zoonotic origin, but it's increasingly difficult to do so when proponents of it don't even begin to recognise the gigantic set of circumstantial evidence against this hypothesis and just hand wave about how all the experts agree.

My understanding of the zoonotic origin is that a mystery rural visitor transmitted it to Wuhan residents and then it vanished at the original location. I'm not saying it isn't true, but it is conveniently difficult to disprove.

exclusivity is the only thing i fear from this. that said, id probably give blizzard another shot down the road if they were bought by MS. the rest of the things you listed being a problem are already rampant through BlizzActivision and have turned a lot of people off to their games.
It’s a very good one though. It just removes a lot of friction that alternatives impose to you.
You completely missed what this vulnerability is. It has nothing to do with intercepting another user's traffic. The checkout page in question actually uses SSL anyway, so it's not even possible absent some sort of MITM attack.

This has to do with API endpoints that exposed customer information and allowed password changes without checking that the request was coming from the customer. The customer didn't have to be logged in to the account, or even on the flight in the first place. If they had an account, it was exposed.
I'm sure I could find videos of people falling off of snowboards and bikes too, so I don't find accident compilations particularly compelling. Especially since I can tell you in pretty much every instance exactly what they did wrong.

Generally speaking if you don't have a background in boardsports it's probably safest to avoid powered boards altogether, no matter how many wheels they have.
GIMP has allowed you to connect a MIDI device via plugin for ages now. Unconventional, sure, but anywhere physical knobs, sliders, buttons, and toggles will facilitate productivity over software UI, MIDI is widely supported, works over USB, and is an easy to comprehend protocol.
AAA is generally a budgetary designation. Minecraft was built as an indie game, then bought by a massive studio. It doesn't become AAA because of who owns it.
None of the impact of having your data leaked from your account is in any way modified by using a VPN for your data traffic while you are on the airplane. Hence the initial reply of that your suggestions of a VPN is irrelevant. Don't try to change this into a "oh but the data leak isn't really that bad of a vulnerability" after having lost that argument.

I'm not convinced the acquisition was responsible. The problem I've perceived (with my very limited wisdom on the topic) is that once they made it huge with World of Warcraft, shipping a "pay-once + expansions" product is just such a financial footnote that it's seen as a distraction.

I wonder if that's why the "Real Money Auction House" from Diablo 3 existed.
The track record of "ex-<Popular Game/Company> devs/etc" splitting off for new companies/IPs isn't that compelling to me personally. Lots of games have been sold with that angle, and few that I can remember were able to come even close to the previous titles.
BoA’s killer feature for me is they allow multitude of emails and phone numbers for 2FA, as well as separate logins for spouses that show joint accounts in both logins.

So wife and I can have both our emails and phone numbers so we can access all of our joint accounts without the other person having to tell them the 2FA code.
Coincidentally on a flight right right now and service is decent on United. Not fast but useable. One caveat is that it performs much better with a VPN enabled. Seems they block certain things such as Zoom and the VPN allows the use of the chat feature. Apple Music was struggling until the VPN was enabled and solid since.
Haha, I lived in Munich for many years and still got burned. I was on the wrong train and noticed after a single station along the wrong branch. No biggie, got off the train and hopped on the next one back to the station I came from. Got fined because it turned out my ticket only allowed travel in one direction, not backwards.

Most expensive kilometer of my live. Had I known, I had walked the short distance between the stations.
I don't have an issue with this per se, but Sony, the biggest player in this space, has been gobbling up studios for years. Sony has by far the strongest set of 1st party studios, and this deal wouldn't change that.

The lack of consistent enforcement of these laws really makes this a mess. And, while CoD is a mega-seller, it is hardly unique, has been declining in quality (and was never top tier), and it is weird to assume it will be a huge phenomenon forever.
I quite like systemd timers with NixOS (configured in the Nix language). They've become a standard hammer for me.
To put some numbers on "not really practical": Munich to Berlin (570km/350mi) takes 4 hours on the fastest train, and about 9 hours on trains covered by this 49€ per month ticket. Practical for a student looking to get around cheaply, but anybody who makes above median income would prefer the faster ICE on such routes
This will be good for tourists as well, much simpler system to explore Germany
It is for trains as long as the train is not an IC (Inter City) or ICE (Inter City Express). That leaves you with only slower regional trains, trams, and subways.

If you were to use the €49 ticket for a train ride from Munich to Berlin (around 360 miles) it would take you 5 different trains and close to 9 hours to get there. With the ICE: No transfers and the journey is cut down to 4 hours. Price: €168 without discounts. If you book weeks in advance you can get a ticket for around €50.

Each metropolitan area has its own company running public transportation. This €49 ticket, like the €9 ticket that was tested for 3 months in the summer of 2022, is valid in almost every city and town in Germany. No matter who operates the trains or buses.

For comparison, a ticket that allows you to travel all of the fare zones in and around Nuremberg, Bavaria is €245 per month. That’s an area of about 6100 square miles.

All prices include the reduced sales tax, which is currently at 7%.
I really hope this fixes my WiFi issues
Press X to Doubt
Let’s start with finite sets, and in reverse: given the two sets A and B, define set

C = {a + b | a ∈ a, b ∈ B}

For example if

A = {1, 3, 7}

and

B = {1, 4, 8}

, we have

C = {1 + 1, 1 + 4, 1 + 8,
3 + 1, 3 + 4, 3 + 8,
7 + 1, 7 + 4, 7 + 8}
= {2, 5, 9, 4, 7, 11, 8, 11, 15}
= {2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15}

That’s easy. Now, if you didn’t know that, but were given set C, can you find two sets A and B of size 3 that would produce C under that logic?

An easy (but cumbersome) way to answer that is: produce all sets of 3 positive integers less than the largest number in C (15 in the example), compute the respective C’s and check whether that’s equal to the targeted C.

This problem is about targeting infinite sets of integers for A, B, and C, with an extra twist: for what infinite sets of integers C can you find matching infinitely sized sets A and B that both are subsets of C?

Since all of these sets are infinite, the easy but cumbersome method won’t work; neither set has a largest element. In addition, the result isn’t about a specific set of integers.

I‘m German. The truth is, people who right now use a car won‘t switch to public transport because of that ticket. There’s already studies about that for the 9€ ticket we previously had. So it probably won’t make a difference in co2 outcome. Also, those who benefit from that ticket, they usually still complain as they like to have back the 9€ ticket. So 49€ is still too expensive for them. Also, you need to keep in mind who is actually paying for that. This is the middle class. If you are part of the middle class in Germany chances are high that you pay more than 70% taxes & charges overall (payroll/income, trade tax, 19 % vat, electricity tax, health insurance, pension fund where it’s likely you’ll never see the money again… and so much more, I don’t even start writing about the Handelskammer).
So those who work have to pay a lot to keep the system running. And those who don’t, they get - compared to other countries - much help, but they still complain. There’s something in a human that makes him unhappy which money alone can’t fix.
I’m not against the 49 € ticket. I like the idea. The current government is even with all it flaws still much better than the previous one. But all those who just see the bright side of the ticket should think about the downsides, too.
Just because he's getting good advice doesn't mean he's taking any of it. Indeed he has said he isn't; is that part of the advice, to pretend he isn't listening to it?

Pride is a powerful drug that can make people think they're immune to all kinds of harsh realities. Clever fools abound. If it's a calculation, it sure looks like he's bad at math.
I have a very large friendship network outside of work (to the point of it being overbearing). I still hate working from home. It’s convenient, efficient and soulless. My excitement from work is solving problems with people in person, and the human element is a critical component.

And Compressorhead was a hobbyist-ish project created by some German robotics enthusiasts years ago, yet it was way ahead of what this billion dollar company wants to present as cutting edge robotics. What a joke, I couldn't help laughing watching that Xiaomi video.
Uhm... that's a significant leak. Most files you have are not unique, including personal photos (if you shard them). So all Apple needs to do to uncover a significant part of what you have on iCloud is get all the hashes of your files and find the same hashes in others accounts that don't have e2e enabled and other sources to recover the content. And even without content, it is a great way to find connections between people (but they already have non-e2e encrypted contact data to do that...).

Personally, I don't think Apple intends to screw you, and they have a good reason, but isn't not trusting your provider the entire point of e2e encryption?

It is one of the first question I asked myself: "with e2e encryption, it means no de-duplication, it will be expensive for Apple". Turns out they still have de-duplication, and therefore weaker privacy.

Anyways, "As we continue to strengthen security protections for all users, Apple is committed to ensuring more data, including this kind of metadata, is end-to-end encrypted when Advanced Data Protection is enabled". It would be interesting to see if they really are committed. For now, I don't blame them, it is already better than most offerings, and it just came out. However, it will be an interesting point to watch for in the future: it is a privacy feature that actually costs Apple money to run, will they do it?

Note: I assume a standard hash like SHA, working at byte level. Not the CSAM scanning thing that can match similar pictures even if the files are not exactly the same.
The financially-constrained people I know usually don’t use the IC/ICE - they take the extra hour or two to save 30+ EUR. Plus, making the IC/ICE all you can ride for 1/10th the current all-you-can-ride price would make getting to the airport or next big city for urgent business as dicey as going anywhere fun on the regional trains this summer was.

As a German taxpayer, I’m absolutely fine with the 49 EUR ticket not covering the fast trains, but making in-region commuting cheaper and simpler. A Nürnberg-only ticket is something on the order of 60 EUR/mo with an annual contract or 80 if you can’t commit, so this is going to be at least 10 EUR/mo. back in the pockets of a lot of people it really matters to (tickets that cover suburbs like Erlangen are even more expensive).
I love the annotation interface, did you do that all yourself or use a tool? Ty!
