Doesn’t sound like an issue to me. Anyone tracking or profiling is inherently unfriendly, regardless of national origin. Ban the lot.
Tangentially related, the Helms Amendment is but one example of leveraging the dispersal of funds.

I've not looked into the specifics here but it wouldn't be out of place to tie aspects of budget funding to the existence of a questionable security risk being present in a government assisted environment.

> "We'll die anyway, so why not just kill myself now" is perfectly rational too.

If living grants zero utility, then yeah. But 99.9% of people enjoy living, or expect to in the future, so for them it’s not logical at all.

> "I should cheat everybody, including my own parents, spouse, and kids, if it benefits me materially and it's 100% certain I can get away with it", is perfectly rational also.

But it’s an unrealistic, hypothetical situation, so we don’t really learn anything from it.

> And there are many more failure modes of rationality-only based function, a lot of which totally hurt the person doing the rational-only thinking - and literature on the matter, both scientific and philosophical.

Rationalism isn’t the same thing as being overly rational. Rationalism is based on irrational presuppositions, and thus is actually rather irrational.

> At least that racket pays the government directly.

Yes and no? Yes, it creates jobs and pays people but it isn't like funds are being used to benefit society. They aren't being used to build roads or schools. There's no evidence to show that these funds are making flights safer either. We're giving up a lot of privacy for this and even giving up more, with the real ID act and pushes for facial recognition technologies. I think a lot of people, including me, would feel better about these inconveniences and the extra money we pay for them, if there was any real evidence to suggest that they actually made us safer. But since there isn't, after two decades of data, I wouldn't blame anyone for calling it a racket (as defined above).

But on top of that, there's further rackets like what you are referring to. But the government also participates in this directly (Clear is indirect) through the TSA precheck.

A racket can have multiple levels and multiple actors.
They normally make hundreds of millions to 1+ billion a year in profit. But if tether depegs and they buy a billion worth for 98 cents and redeem the backing from themselves they make an extra 20 million USD. OTOH this would result in outflows and they’d likely lose more than 20 million in interest on AUM over the following period. I like the theory but idk. Likewise they could redeem them at spot value in order to gradually plug their hole —- but again the interest on the AUM should gradually plug the hole anyway.

Now, a big depeg is indeed an opportunity for them to make billions within minutes.
That expectation has generally been based on having a well respected CEO.

Having no CEO may reasonably affect expectations.
No, in most build systems it often can't be expressed precisely. It can be done in a way that will mostly work or be over approximated, though. So having some amount of abstraction capability is really important. Especially when you have a build pipeline involving something like "compile program G -> run G -> compile output of G", the output of G can often have many dependencies that are not statically known, or you have to repeat the logic of the generator program G inside the build system to declare them correctly, which is often error prone. So you normally just either have some incorrect logic where the build will fail -- because G started outputting code that needed "foobar.h" and someone forgot to update the dependency list to include "foobar.h", so now dependencies aren't tracked -- or some wildly conservative dependency graph that rebuilds things way more often than necessary, "the output of G depends on every header file possible." Now imagine that there are basically infinite variations on this theme and the cycle can continue infinitely, and it gets to be a problem.

Most people either work on programs small enough where having a conservative approximation of the dependency graph is "fine" and excessive rebuilds are OK, they are just compiling a simple static DAG of known source files, and if they encounter these issues, just structure the project with a little repetition between the between the build time dependencies and the code. Or, they just let the module system in their language of language choice figure it out. These are all completely OK. But it's very expensive to do conservative recompilation and very error prone to do manual repetition in larger projects, and gets very complex in multi-language setups.

You can sometimes structure programs to avoid these sorts of problems with enough foresight, but when you can't, or you need these things, you really need them, and the lack of it will really really hurt.
I really don't get this implication that it's bad to do minor updates to products every year. They're not expecting you to buy one every year (but they hope you do!). It's like I don't complain if they come out with a 2023 Corolla with refined cupholders.

I think this is important just to get the idioms down that you otherwise only get on the job. Could pick almost any big active C project. I used to do this and I’d see some construct I didn’t understand and consult my K&R book to learn it. I’d do this in parallel with a book though for sure, K&R preferably. C is so basic that if you pursue it further it will be about learning the projects/companies way of using C.

Just a wild guess, but my guess is that they intended to run everything legitimately, but bought into their own hype, and then got trapped by their egos into not admitting defeat. Once honestly admitting defeat was off the table, I'm not sure there were any non-fraudulent options left.

I'm not saying the fraud is excusable, but it's entirely understandable how they may have been trapped by their own egos.

I suggest "the LastPass Law"
I just changed my phone after 6 years, but I did not expect the industry to suspend for all that time just because I don't need a new phone every year. Having new products every years does not suggest you should upgrade.
Takes at least, in many cases, provide a public good. The leaky bucket (not sure if the bucket even can hold water at this point though) still transports water. The TSA does not provide any service to the public. On the other hand, they provide substantial inconvenience, drive up costs, and end up killing more people (since driving is more risky than flying). I get the joke you're making, but let's not pretend that taxes are the same thing. They are highly inefficient but the TSA has negative efficiency.
A lot of government agencies maintain social media presences.

The White House has a Twitter account, for example. So there are presumably federal employees with Twitter installed on their work phones for the purpose of operating that account.

> But a modern airliner has so many complex automated systems that expecting a pilot to fully understand all of them is unreasonable.

Yes...

> In both cases, the pilots assumed that the autothrottle would increase thrust during a go-around, but were unaware that they had run up against an edge case where it would not.

Also yes, but...

> The common denominator between the two crashes was an overreliance on automation.

That doesn't follow. The pilots were absolutely right to assume that pressing the go-around button would indeed perform a go-around. The core issue is that the button silently failed. It's like a function that doesn't throw an exception despite failing and instead chugs along in a broken state.

It's a simple case of bad UI/UX. If a button that's supposed to do X is unable to do it, the failure should be indicated to the pilots in an obvious way.

The recommendations say as much: "The GCAA also issued recommendations intended to make the Boeing 777 a safer aircraft, including that the configuration alarm go off when the throttles are not advanced during a go-around;".
Well, it probably just wasn't explicitly banned. Though like you say, I wonder why they don't have a whitelist instead?
With Delta, I actually love boarding a "full flight" where they start calling for gate-checked baggage. I will often ask the desk agent if I can gate check even if they aren't calling for it yet, sometimes they'll do it.

Ask HN: How do you find content on YouTube in 2022?
This post is predicated on the assumption that YouTube search is fundamentally broken at this point. You'll get maybe 5-10 videos somewhat related to what you search for and then it will start recursively showing you random stuff that the algorithm has dug up based on your prior watching with absolutely zero relevance to what you're looking for.

Are there alternative ways to find content on Youtube that actually work today? For example, is there a way to search for channels or creators that specifically cover certain topics, filter them by things like subscriber count or video count etc?

I feel like the algorithm has become a massive gatekeeper to actually finding new content on YT... how do I bypass it?
You can do the first part without even relying on analysis in a mathematical sense. You simply define a differential algebra, by introducing a derivation function that just happens to respect the correct rules. Then "calculus" is the topic of how to perform computations in such an algebra. Note however that you do need analysis to rigorously address other parts of a typical "calculus course", especially those dealing with infinities, sequences and etc.
For the majority of your time only look at content that fills gaps in your knowledge tree that is beneficial for you. You will retain this information naturally since it will be supported by previous knowledge and reinforced with future content

For fun (like 10% of your time) go on HN and other aggregators. Try to retroactively fit that knowledge into your knowledge tree, otherwise expect that content to be lost
Why is freedom of speech suddenly not worth preserving when it comes from somewhere we don’t like?
A bit hypocritical since that's a tacit purpose for the existence of Facebook/Whatsapp, Google's... everything, and as we've come to discover, Twitter.

I still remember when the CIA's Total Information Awareness team was rebranded in the early 2000s and some of the members hired into Facebook, which coincided with the opening and expansion of Facebook as a global "social media" site.

It's wild that the news ever used to report on things like that. I suppose it did take a little longer to get rid of the journalists following 9/11.

No. When you login to LastPass, your password can be taken if LastPass is compromised. You have to trust that LastPass will not do it. If you login to Dropbox, the master password to your keepass database cannot be stolen. You don’t need to trust Dropbox.

But what you said is also an additional benefit.
After an operator-error derailment on the commuter rail line I frequently ride, the response of the NTSB was to require the railroad de-prioritize on-time performance and increase schedule times. As a frequent rider on the route I would much rather have my 15 minutes per day back and risk a once-per-century fatal accident. But the risk-averse bureaucracy we've built doesn't make such calculations with a balance like that: they prioritize safety above all else never mind the detriments.
I truly see it as a Chinese campaign to dumbify our society.

Agreed, though often paying (not open source) C projects have much simpler build requirements because the company controls the hardware. Last time I got paid to write C on a non-trivial financial app, all we did was call make with exactly 1 external dependency.
I’ve attempted Chicago to Detroit 4 times via plane before I started just driving every time, I was severely delayed each time. The weather in both cities is fairly volatile, traffic between them isn’t bad, and I can leave when I want. I prefer the Amtrak but it only goes a few times a day.
I don't know why, but I'm still a bit afraid of using security key everywhere.
I have an irrational fear of losing/breaking my security key. Even though I know my phone is fine and always with me (as a comparison).

I just set up a whole backup solution for my many self hosted applications, all encrypted with the keys safely in my password manager. Even uploaded to S3, because I figured if I'm paying for it, I could ID-and-support ticket my way to my data even if I lost my AWS credentials.

I don't know how to integrate a security key into this scheme. What to do if it actually gets lost ?

Will I have to use emergency codes for all the accounts ?

Can I make a backup of it somewhere ?

Would that defeat the purpose ?

For some reason you are talking about making a start up and not solving a problem and helping people. As I got it — you want the success and not just to help people. Looks like your ideas didn’t drive you really and it was just about being successful entrepreneur. If you love what you do, then it doesn’t matter how many times you fall, it’s just fun. I believe this is the mindset, but please don’t listen to me like I am one of this in the influencers on business making money out of nothing. I’m just a software engineer, I haven’t helped people a lot myself by creating a product that would be making me happy by just creating it and improving. So anyway, I believe that if things don’t drive you — then don’t do them and if you do something that makes you happy — then it’s fun to fail and you don’t feel like giving up if you don’t have upvotes on product hunt, you do this for yourself. Sure, if you don’t have feedback on what you are doing or the feedback is negative it’s less fun and the point to think again, if it really drives you and worth spending more time or or putting this game on pause and go playing another game that is more fun.

The pandemic has been an odd thing for status, especially on Delta. I had diamond on Delta in 2020 which was a mix of MQMs plus spending over $250k on a Delta Amex. They extended that Diamond into 2021, and 2022 for free, and also rolled over all of the MQMs. More MQMs stacked up because you get them at 25k and 50k AMEX spend, so going into 2023 I had 250k+ MQMs even though I flew very little.

2023 still required getting past the 250k AMEX spend to get the diamond MQD waiver, and that one change (from 25k to 250k) has really cut down on the number of Diamond flyers I see now. I'm back to regular flying now so those MQMs will last me for a while.

Drop box is just the sync mechanism, with keepass' encryption (and their own care to keep the keys safe and not carried on the same medium) being all the protection.

Dropbox is not added security in this setup, it is a natural factor if what is being transferred [the keepass file(s)] is sufficiently secure in itself.

I'll be honest, I don't know why this particular paper has caught HN's eye because it's not very sensational or anything. To contextualize this for those who may not follow the literature:

This is a follow-up to a 2019 paper by the same authors detailing a new excavation that was conducted to address remaining questions/uncertainties that weren't resolved by the previous excavation. The dates are within their previous 2-sigma estimate, which strongly supports the prior results.

Because the above isn't a very interesting argument, they go further and argue that this latest find has enough points to do something called typological classification and that analysis supports the long-standing argument that the "Western Stemmed Tradition" is related to a broader Pacific stemmed point tradition/complex. Other archaeologists have argued that the preclovis traditions were more likely to have been related to central asian / central siberian complexes, but there's been some issues with the predictions from that camp over the past few years. There isn't a definite answer, but most people lean towards the former.
> and rich as Apple

Being rich isn’t really related, it’s that they can still profit while doing this (some people say “sheep” while others say “good products with great integration”), where nobody else can, which makes them rich. ;)
Hash#first comes from Enumerable - and Enumerable doesn't have #last.
In hindsight, sure, it seems obvious, but I don't think it was that obvious that CISC performance wouldn't end up scaling. What wasn't obvious, to me anyway, is that even with all of that complicated decode, register renaming and whatnot, these CISC processors managed to stay competitive for so long. Maybe it's just the force of inertia, though, and if there'd been a serious investment in high-performance RISC machines in the 2000s, x86 would've been left in the dust.
I was just looking at these today - there are three variants with different degrees of white, so might need to check which you are ordering.
